Differentiation of Myeloid Cell Lines Correlates with a Selective Expression of RIZ Protein

Annexin A2 expression during cellular differentiation in myeloid cell lines.

Annexin A2 is a calcium-dependent, phospholipid-binding protein found on many cell types. It consists of a short hydrophobic tail (Ser(2)-Asn(32)), which dictates its function, and a core domain (Phe(33)-Asp(339)), which is involved in phospholipid binding. Annexin A2 has been implicated in a number of biochemical processes, including cell proliferation, foetal immune tolerance, ion-channel act...

assessment of deep word knowledge in elementary and advanced iranian efl learners: a comparison of selective and productive wat tasks

testing plays a vital role in any language teaching program. it allows teachers and stakeholders, including program administrators, parents, admissions officers and prospective employers to be assured that the learners are progressing according to an accepted standard (douglas, 2010). the problems currently facing language testers have both practical and theoretical implications but the first i...

Nonhistone protein antigen profiles of five leukemic cell lines reflect the extent of myeloid differentiation.

The human leukemic cell lines, K562, KG-1, and HL-60, and the blast subclones, KG-1a and HL-60 blast, were utilized to relate differences in nonhistone protein antigens to stages of myeloid cell differentiation. Chromatin proteins were separated on SDS-polyacrylamide gels, transferred electrophoretically to nitrocellulose sheets, and visualized by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method of Sternbe...

Upregulation of Endothelin-1/Endothelin A Receptor Expression Correlates with Heparanase Expression in Ovarian Carcinoma

Background: Heparanase and endothelin-1/endothelin A receptor (ET-1/ETAR) expressions increase in cancer. This condition enhances tumor progression and correlates with poor survival. Limited data are documented regarding the role of heparanase and ET-1/ETAR in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We sought to characterize the correlation between heparanase and ET-1/ETAR in EOC.Methods: Thirty patie...
