Cyclic AMP-guanine exchange factor activation inhibits JNK-dependent lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis in rat hepatocytes
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is known to damage hepatocytes by cytokines released from activated Kupffer cells, but the ancillary role of LPS as a direct hepatotoxin is less well characterized. The aim of this study was to determine the direct effect of LPS on hepatocyte viability and the underlying signaling mechanism. Rat hepatocyte cultures treated overnight with LPS (500 ng/mL) induced apoptosi...
متن کاملGuanine nucleotide exchange factor H1 can be a new biomarker of melanoma
Guanine nucleotide exchange factor H1 (GEF-H1), which couples microtubule dynamics to RhoA activation, is a microtubule-regulated exchange factor. Studies have shown that GEF-H1 can be involved in various cancer pathways; however, the clinical significance of GEF-H1 expression and functions in melanoma has not been established. In this study, we investigated the relationship between clinical ou...
متن کاملThe guanine nucleotide exchange factor RasGRP is a high -affinity target for diacylglycerol and phorbol esters.
RasGRP is a recently described guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that possesses a single C1 domain homologous to that of protein kinase C (PKC). The phorbol ester [(3)H]phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate ([(3)H]PDBu) bound to this C1 domain (C1-RasGRP) with a dissociation constant of 0.58 +/- 0.08 nM, similar to that observed previously for PKC. Likewise, the potent PKC activator bryostatin 1, a ...
متن کاملPhorbol ester-induced PKCepsilon down-modulation sensitizes AML cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis and cell differentiation.
Despite the relevant therapeutic progresses made in these last 2 decades, the prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains poor. Phorbol esters are used at very low concentrations as differentiating agents in the therapy of myeloid leukemias. Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), in turn, is a death ligand that spares normal cells and is therefore currently under...
متن کاملInterleukin-la mediates phorbol ester-induced inflammation
The topical application of the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to murine skin produces acute inflammatory and hyperplastic responses that have been associated with the promotion stage of skin carcinogenesis. It has been shown in a previous study that TPA induces the expression of the highly inflammatory cytokine, interleukin (IL) -la, in the epidermis of SENCAR mice. T...
