Bacteria-Induced Uroplakin Signaling Mediates Bladder Response to Infection
Urinary tract infections are the second most common infectious disease in humans and are predominantly caused by uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). A majority of UPEC isolates express the type 1 pilus adhesin, FimH, and cell culture and murine studies demonstrate that FimH is involved in invasion and apoptosis of urothelial cells. FimH initiates bladder pathology by binding to the uroplakin receptor...
متن کاملEthylene signaling mediates a maize defense response to insect herbivory.
The signaling pathways that enable plants to mount defenses against insect herbivores are known to be complex. It was previously demonstrated that the insect-resistant maize (Zea mays L.) genotype Mp708 accumulates a unique defense cysteine proteinase, Mirl-CP, in response to caterpillar feeding. In this study, the role of ethylene in insect defense in Mp708 and an insect-susceptible line Tx601...
متن کاملNotch signaling mediates p63-induced quiescence
Most organs of the body can develop tumors of different histological subtypes that often show distinct biologic behavior and respond differently to various therapeutic modalities. Understanding the cellular and molecular components driving each subtype will make it possible to develop specific targeted therapies tailored to each tumor type to maximize therapeutic efficacy and minimize side effe...
متن کاملMacrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Mediates PAR-Induced Bladder Pain
INTRODUCTION Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is constitutively expressed in urothelial cells that also express protease-activated receptors (PAR). Urothelial PAR1 receptors were shown to mediate bladder inflammation. We showed that PAR1 and PAR4 activator, thrombin, also mediates urothelial MIF release. We hypothesized that stimulation of urothelial PA...
متن کاملHnRNP-L mediates bladder cancer progression by inhibiting apoptotic signaling and enhancing MAPK signaling pathways
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L (hnRNP-L) is a promoter of various kinds of cancers, but its actions in bladder cancer (BC) are unclear. In this study, we investigated the function and the underlying mechanism of hnRNP-L in bladder carcinogenesis. Our results demonstrated that enhanced hnRNP-L expression in BC tissues was associated with poor overall survival of BC patients. Depletion...
