Mcl-1 is a key regulator of apoptosis during CNS development and after DNA damage.
Despite the importance of Mcl-1, an anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member, in the regulation of apoptosis, little is known regarding its role in nervous system development and injury-induced neuronal cell death. Because germline deletion of Mcl-1 results in peri-implantation lethality, we address the function of Mcl-1 in the nervous system using two different conditional Mcl-1 mouse mutants in the...
متن کاملHuman-Specific SNP in Obesity Genes, Adrenergic Receptor Beta2 (ADRB2), Beta3 (ADRB3), and PPAR γ2 (PPARG), during Primate Evolution
UNLABELLED Adrenergic-receptor beta2 (ADRB2) and beta3 (ADRB3) are obesity genes that play a key role in the regulation of energy balance by increasing lipolysis and thermogenesis. The Glu27 allele in ADRB2 and the Arg64 allele in ADRB3 are associated with abdominal obesity and early onset of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in many ethnic groups. Peroxisome proliferator-activate...
متن کاملSPARC Is a Key Regulator of Proliferation, Apoptosis and Invasion in Human Ovarian Cancer
BACKGROUND Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), a calcium-binding matricellular glycoprotein, is implicated in the progression of many cancers. In this study, we investigated the expression and function of SPARC in ovarian cancer. METHODS cDNA microarray analysis was performed to compare gene expression profiles of the highly invasive and the low invasive subclones derived fr...
متن کاملSALL4 is a key regulator of survival and apoptosis in human leukemic cells.
Increasing studies suggest that SALL4 may play vital roles in leukemogenesis and stem cell phenotypes. We have mapped the global gene targets of SALL4 using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by microarray hybridization and identified more than 2000 high-confidence, SALL4-binding genes in the human acute promyelocytic leukemic cell line, NB4. Analysis of SALL4-binding sites reveals that gen...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factor receptor 1 is a key regulator of early adipogenic events in human preadipocytes.
Cell number is an important determinant of adipose tissue mass, and the coordinated proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes into mature lipid-laden adipocytes underpins the increased adipose tissue mass associated with obesity. Despite this, the molecular cues governing such adipose tissue expansion are poorly understood. We previously reported that fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF-1)...
