NCAM is ubiquitylated, endocytosed and recycled in neurons

The neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM plays an important role during neural development and in the adult brain. To study the intracellular trafficking of NCAM in neurons, two major isoforms, NCAM140 or NCAM180, were expressed in primary cortical...

Acid-sensing ion channel-1 contributes to axonal degeneration in autoimmune inflammation of the central nervous system

Multiple sclerosis is a neuroinflammatory disease associated with axonal degeneration. The neuronally expressed, proton-gated acid-sensing ion channel-1 (ASIC1) is permeable to Na(+) and Ca(2+), and excessive accumulation of these ions is associated...

Involvement of nectin in inactivation of integrin alpha vbeta 3 after the establishment of cell-cell adhesion

Integrin plays an essential role in the formation of cell-matrix junctions and is also involved in the fundamental cellular functions. In the process of the formation of cell-cell junctions, an immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecule (CAM)...

Rescue of influenza virus expressing GFP from the NS1 reading frame

In this study, several influenza NS1 mutants were examined for their growth ability in interferon (IFN)-deficient Vero cells treated with human interferon alpha (IFN-alpha). Mutants with an intact RNA binding domain showed similar growth properties...

Frequent epigenetic inactivation of DICKKOPF family genes in human gastrointestinal tumors

Activation of Wnt signaling has been implicated in tumorigenesis, and epigenetic silencing of Wnt antagonist genes has been detected in various cancers. In the present study, we examined the expression and methylation of DICKKOPF (DKK) family genes...

Inverse Agonist and Neutral Antagonist Actions of Antidepressants at Recombinant and Native 5-HT2C Receptors: Differential Modulation of Cell Surface Expression and Signal Transduction

Despite the importance of serotonin (5-HT)2C receptors in the control of depressive states, actions of antidepressants at these receptors remain poorly characterized. This issue was addressed both in HEK-293 cells co-expressing unedited human...

Signaling pathways from membrane lipid rafts to JNK1 activation in reactive nitrogen species-induced non-apoptotic cell death

At present, the signaling pathways controlling reactive nitrogen species (RNS)-induced non-apoptotic cell death are relatively less understood. In this work, various RNS donors are found to induce caspase-independent non-apoptotic cell death in mouse...

MCAK facilitates chromosome movement by promoting kinetochore microtubule turnover

Mitotic centromere-associated kinesin (MCAK)/Kif2C is the most potent microtubule (MT)-destabilizing enzyme identified thus far. However, MCAK's function at the centromere has remained mechanistically elusive because of interference from cytoplasmic...

Regulation of apoptosis/necrosis execution in cadmium-treated human promonocytic cells under different forms of oxidative stress

Pulse-treatment of U-937 human promonocytic cells with cadmium chloride followed by recovery caused caspase-9/caspase-3-dependent, caspase-8-independent apoptosis. However, pre-incubation with the glutathione (GSH)-suppressing agent...

Localization of HIV-1 Vpr to the nuclear envelope: Impact on Vpr functions and virus replication in macrophages

BACKGROUND: HIV-1 Vpr is a dynamic protein that primarily localizes in the nucleus, but a significant fraction is concentrated at the nuclear envelope (NE), supporting an interaction between Vpr and components of the nuclear pore complex, including...
