Constitutively active Akt induces enhanced myelination in the CNS.
The serine/threonine kinase Akt regulates multiple cellular functions. The current studies identify a new role for Akt in CNS myelination. In earlier studies on cultured oligodendrocytes, we showed that neuregulin signals through phosphatidylinositol-3'-OH kinase and Akt to enhance survival of oligodendrocytes. However, when transgenic animals were generated that overexpressed constitutively ac...
متن کاملA constitutively active dioxin/aryl hydrocarbon receptor induces stomach tumors.
The dioxin/aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) functions as a ligand-activated transcription factor regulating transcription of a battery of genes encoding xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes. Known receptor ligands are environmental pollutants including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated dioxins. Loss-of-function (gene-disruption) studies in mice have demonstrated that the AhR is inv...
متن کاملThe constitutively active HCMV - encoded receptor UL 33 displays oncogenic potential
e human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), associated with the development of malignancies, encodes the constitutively active G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) UL andUS. AsUS possesses oncogenic properties and is expressed inCMV positive human glioblastomas, we set out to investigate the signaling properties of UL. US expression is detected early aer infection, whereas UL is expressed at l...
متن کاملFibrinolysis Associated with Oncogenic Transformation
Fetal bovine and dog serum were selectively freed of plasminogen by affinity chromatography. The resulting serum as well as native and reconstituted serum (obtained by the addition of purified plasminogen to the plasminogen-depleted serum) were used to examine the role of plasminogen in (a) growth of normal and SV-40-transformed hamster embryo fibroblasts in liquid medium, (b) growth of SV-40-t...
متن کاملNuclear factor-kappaB is constitutively active in C-cell carcinoma and required for RET-induced transformation.
Specific point mutations of the RET proto-oncogene have been demonstrated to be responsible for multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) types 2A and 2B, for familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) syndromes, as well as for sporadic MTC. Here we show that nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB is activated in RET-associated C-cell carcinoma specimens. TT cells, a human MTC cell line expressing MEN 2A type RET...
