Cytokine effects on cell survival and death of A549 lung carcinoma cells
(2013)
Purpose: IL-13, TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta have various effects on lung cancer growth and death, but the signaling pathways mediating these effects have not been extensively analyzed. Therefore, the effects of IL-13, TNF-alpha ...
Low levels of p27 in association with deregulated p53-pRb protein status enhance tumor proliferation and chromosomal instability in non-small cell lung carcinomas
(2001)
Background: Down-regulation or overexpression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27 have been observed in a range of malignancies, including lung cancer. To further elucidate the role of the molecule in tumor growth ...
Mapping interleukin enhancer binding factor 3 gene (ILF3) to human chromosome 19 (19q11-qter and 19p11-p13.1) by polymerase chain reaction amplification of human-rodent somatic cell hybrid DNA templates
(1998)
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is the first lymphokine secreted following T cell activation. Several transcription factors regulate IL-2 gene expression, including the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), NFAT acts at the ...
Dexamethasone has a biphasic effect on the c-Jun m-RNA expression in the fetal and adult rat lung, in vivo
(1999)
Glucocorticoids are a very potent therapy for the treatment of asthma as well for lung maturation in the prematurely newborn animals and human. It has been demonstrated that glucocorticoid receptors antagonize the actions ...
Anopheles gambiae odorant binding protein crystal complex with the synthetic repellent DEET: implications for structure-based design of novel mosquito repellents
(2012)
Insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are the first components of the olfactory system to encounter and bind attractant and repellent odors emanating from various sources for presentation to olfactory receptors, which ...
EXERCISE AND EXPOSURE TO HEAT FOLLOWING BOVINE COLOSTRUM SUPPLEMENTATION: A REVIEW OF GASTROINTESTINAL AND IMMUNE FUNCTION
(2013)
Colostrum is the first milk produced by mammalian mothers and is essential for the health and survival of the newborn. Bovine colostrum (BC) has greater concentrations of the bioactive components (i.e. immune and growth ...
Cobalt induces hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha expression in airway smooth muscle cells by a reactive oxygen species- and PI3K-dependent mechanism
(2004)
Cobalt can mimic hypoxia and has been implicated as a cause of lung defects. However, the effect of cobalt on airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells has not been analyzed in detail. In this article, we use primary cultures of ...
Molecular identification of enteroviruses responsible for an outbreak of aseptic meningitis; implications in clinical practice and epidemiology
(2004)
An outbreak of aseptic meningitis was recorded in Greece during the year 2001. Detection of the clinical strains was achieved by performing reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on RNA isolated from cell ...
