MicroRNA-137 Negatively Regulates H2O2-Induced Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis Through CDC42
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress, inducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis or myocardial ischemia, is the major denominator of many cardiac diseases. In this study, we intended to explore the regulatory function of microRNA-137 (miR-137) in oxidative stress-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cardiomyocytes were extracted from newborn C57BL/6 mice and cultured in vitro. Apoptosis was ind...
متن کاملPlexin-B2 Negatively Regulates Macrophage Motility, Rac, and Cdc42 Activation
Plexins are cell surface receptors widely studied in the nervous system, where they mediate migration and morphogenesis though the Rho family of small GTPases. More recently, plexins have been implicated in immune processes including cell-cell interaction, immune activation, migration, and cytokine production. Plexin-B2 facilitates ligand induced cell guidance and migration in the nervous syste...
متن کاملActin Polymerization Negatively Regulates p53 Function by Impairing Its Nuclear Import in Response to DNA Damage
Actin, one of the most evolutionarily conservative proteins in eukaryotes, is distributed both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus, and its dynamics plays important roles in numerous cellular processes. Previous evidence has shown that actin interacts with p53 and this interaction increases in the process of p53 responding to DNA damage, but the physiological significance of their interaction rema...
متن کاملProfilin Enhances Cdc42-Induced Nucleation of Actin Polymerization
We find that profilin contributes in several ways to Cdc42-induced nucleation of actin filaments in high speed supernatant of lysed neutrophils. Depletion of profilin inhibited Cdc42-induced nucleation; re-addition of profilin restored much of the activity. Mutant profilins with a decreased affinity for either actin or poly-l-proline were less effective at restoring activity. Whereas Cdc42 must...
متن کاملTSP50 encodes a testis-specific protease and is negatively regulated by p53.
Earlier studies suggested that TSP50 is a testis-specific gene that encodes a protein, which is homologous to serine proteases but differs in that threonine replaces serine in its catalytic triad. Most importantly, it was abnormally reactivated in many breast cancer biopsies tested. While further investigating its biochemical and cell biological natures, we found that TSP50 exhibited enzyme act...
