Aquaporin-6 Expression in the Cochlear Sensory Epithelium Is Downregulated by Salicylates
We characterize the expression pattern of aquaporin-6 in the mouse inner ear by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Our data show that in the inner ear aquaporin-6 is expressed, in both vestibular and acoustic sensory epithelia, by the supporting cells directly contacting hair cells. In particular, in the Organ of Corti, expression was strongest in Deiters' cells, which provide both a mechanical l...
متن کاملPiezoelectric materials mimic the function of the cochlear sensory epithelium.
Cochlear hair cells convert sound vibration into electrical potential, and loss of these cells diminishes auditory function. In response to mechanical stimuli, piezoelectric materials generate electricity, suggesting that they could be used in place of hair cells to create an artificial cochlear epithelium. Here, we report that a piezoelectric membrane generated electrical potentials in respons...
متن کاملFas expression is downregulated in gastric cancer
The aim of the present study was to investigate Fas expression in tumor samples from patients with gastric cancer, in order to determine the involvement of the Fas signaling pathway. The protein expression levels of Fas, caspase-8, caspase‑3 and poly (adenosine diphosphate‑ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) were examined in gastric cancer specimens and their associations with clinical pathological pa...
متن کاملBranchial expression of an aquaporin 3 (AQP-3) homologue is downregulated in the European eel Anguilla anguilla following seawater acclimation.
A cDNA encoding the homologue of mammalian aquaporin 3 (AQP-3) was isolated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction from the gill of the European eel. The derived amino acid sequence shares 67-70% homology with other vertebrate AQP-3 homologues. Northern blot analysis revealed two AQP-3-specific mRNA species of 2.4 kb and 7 kb. AQP-3 mRNA is expressed predominantly in the eye, oesoph...
متن کاملPigment epithelium-derived factor stimulates tumor macrophage recruitment and is downregulated by the prostate tumor microenvironment.
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis but whether it has additional effects on the tumor microenvironment is largely unexplored. We show that overexpression of PEDF in orthotopic MatLyLu rat prostate tumors increased tumor macrophage recruitment. The fraction of macrophages expressing inducible nitric oxide synthase, a marker of cytotoxic M1 macrophages,...
