Function of caspase-14 in trophoblast differentiation
BACKGROUND Within the human placenta, the cytotrophoblast consists of a proliferative pool of progenitor cells which differentiate to replenish the overlying continuous, multi-nucleated syncytiotrophoblast, which forms the barrier between the maternal and fetal tissues. Disruption to trophoblast differentiation and function may result in impaired fetal development and preeclampsia. Caspase-14 e...
متن کاملinterpersonal function of language in subtitling
translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...
15 صفحه اولCaspase-14 reveals its secrets
Caspase-14 is a unique member of the evolutionarily conserved family of cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinases, which are mainly involved in inflammation and apoptosis. However, recent evidence also implicates these proteases in proliferation and differentiation. Although most caspases are ubiquitously expressed, caspase-14 expression is confined mainly to cornifying epithelia, such as the sk...
متن کاملTerminal differentiation of human keratinocytes and stratum corneum formation is associated with caspase-14 activation.
Programmed cell death of epidermal keratinocytes (KC) results in the formation of cornified cells, which constitute the outermost skin layer, the stratum corneum. Here we show by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and immunohistochemistry that epidermal KC express caspase-14, a member of the caspase family of pro-apoptotic proteases, in a tissue-specific manner. Casp...
متن کاملFunction of Filaggrin and Caspase-14 in Formation and Maintenance of the Epithelial Barrier
Stratifi ed epithelia line all external and internal body surfaces of mammals and function to protect us from water loss, environmental insults, chemical damage, and infection. This protective barrier is composed of a complex mixture of structural proteins and specialized lipids that together form the anuclear squames of the stratum corneum. Filaggrin and caspase-14 are two genes expressed in t...
