Nrf2-deficiency creates a responsive microenvironment for metastasis to the lung.
The Nrf2 transcription factor is crucial for regulating the cellular defense against various carcinogens. However, relationship between host Nrf2 and cancer metastasis remains unexplored. To address this issue, we examined susceptibility of Nrf2-deficient mice to pulmonary cancer metastasis following implantation of the mouse Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL) cell line. Nrf2-deficient mice reproducibl...
متن کاملTaurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) deficiency creates a vicious circle promoting obesity.
The relation between blood taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) concentrations and obesity was investigated. Taurine is supplied to the body by dietary ingestion as well as by de novo synthesis; it is anabolized by cysteine dioxygenase (CDO), which is abundantly expressed in liver and white adipose tissue. Overexpression of CDO in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes caused a decrease in the level of cysteine ...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase deficiencies affect contact hypersensitivity: stromelysin-1 deficiency prevents the response and gelatinase B deficiency prolongs the response.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are expressed by T cells and macrophages, but there is a paucity of evidence for their role in immune responses. We have studied mice with deficiencies of stromelysin-1 (MMP-3) or gelatinase B (MMP-9) in a dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)-induced model of contact hypersensitivity (CHS). Stromelysin-1-deficient mice showed a markedly impaired CHS response to topical D...
متن کاملSmoothing images creates corners
The isophote curvature times the gradient magnitude to some power has been studied in the literature as a measure of cornerness in images. Stability in terms of sampling noise has been proposed by selecting corners at high scale and locating them at fine scale. We will examine the problem of tracking extrema of these measures in the Linear Scale-Space using catastrophe theory. This enables us t...
متن کاملReward creates oculomotor salience
Wouldn’t that be a good way of studying evolution in action over a few generations? One would think so. In particular, it is possible to measure all three components of the breeder’s equation, and see directly whether R = h2S. But, quite often, it appears that R does not equal h2S. For example, a study on antler size in red deer showed that red deer with larger antlers had more offspring than r...
