Src and Cas are essentially but differentially involved in angiotensin II-stimulated migration of vascular smooth muscle cells via extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase activation

Angiotensin II (Ang II) plays an important role in several cardiovascular diseases associated with vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) growth and migration. Src activity is known to be required for the migration of a number of cell types. p130Cas was...

Efficient gene transfer into the human natural killer cell line, NKL, using the amaxa nucleofection system

Natural killer (NK) cell lines are useful for studying facets of NK cell biology. Such cell lines are notoriously difficult to transfect by traditional methods, a fact that has hampered NK cell biology studies for a long time. To overcome this, we...

Human mesenchymal stem cells as a gene delivery system to create cardiac pacemakers

We tested the ability of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) to deliver a biological pacemaker to the heart. hMSCs transfected with a cardiac pacemaker gene, mHCN2, by electroporation expressed high levels of Cs+-sensitive current (31.1+/-3.8 pA/pF...

Nucleofection as an efficient nonviral transfection method for human monocytic cells

Despite some progress in the field of gene transfer into hard-to-transfect cells, so far an efficient nonviral method for monocytes has not been available. A comparison of plasmid DNA with capped and polyadenylated mRNA for enhanced green fluorescent...

LINGO-1 is a component of the Nogo-66 receptor/p75 signaling complex

Axon regeneration in the adult CNS is prevented by inhibitors in myelin. These inhibitors seem to modulate RhoA activity by binding to a receptor complex comprising a ligand-binding subunit (the Nogo-66 receptor NgR1) and a signal transducing subunit...

Marlin-1 a novel RNA binding protein associates with GABA(subB) receptors

GABA(subB) receptors are heterodimeric G protein-coupled receptors that mediate slow synaptic inhibition in the CNS. While heterodimerization between GABA(subB) receptor GABA(subB)R1 and GABA(subB)R2 subunits is essential for functional expression,...

CD154 transcriptional regulation in primary human CD4 T cells

CD154 (CD40-ligand) has a wide variety of pleiotropic effects throughout the immune system and is critical to both cellular and humoral immunity. Cell surface and soluble CD154 are primarily expressed by activated CD4 T cells. Expression of CD154 is...
