Mechanisms of cell transformation induced by polyomavirus.
Polyomavirus is a DNA tumor virus that induces a variety of tumors in mice. Its genome encodes three proteins, namely large T (LT), middle T (MT), and small T (ST) antigens, that have been implicated in cell transformation and tumorigenesis. LT is associated with cell immortalization, whereas MT plays an essential role in cell transformation by binding to and activating several cytoplasmic prot...
متن کاملThe molecular mechanisms of arsenic-induced cell transformation and apoptosis.
Arsenic is a well-documented human carcinogen associated with cancers of the skin, lung, liver, and bladder. Interestingly, arsenic has also been used as an effective chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of certain human cancers. However, the mechanisms by which arsenic induces proliferation of cancer cells or cancer cell death are not well understood. We found that exposure of JB6 P+ cells ...
متن کاملMECHANISMS OF BLOOD FLOW INCREASE INDUCED BY ELECTRICAL STIMULATION
Previous studies have shown that electrical stimulation (ES) increases blood flow, but the exact mechanisms are not clear. The present study was designed to clarify some of the underlying mechanisms involved in this phenomenon. White adult rabbits Lt.-6 months old were used. Animals were anesthetized by sodium pentobarbital (40 mg/kg, IV) and skin blood flow in the thoracic back was recorde...
متن کاملSuppressive Mechanisms Induced by Tregs in Celiac Disease
Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic immune-mediated disorder caused by the dietary gluten in individuals who are genetically susceptible to the disease. In fact, CD is a T cell-mediated immune disease in which gluten-derived peptides activate the lamina propria CD4+ Teff cells, and these T-cell subsets can cause the intestinal tissue damages. Also, there are additional subsets of CD4+ T cells wit...
متن کاملThe Mechanisms of Radiation-Induced Bystander Effect
The radiation-induced bystander effect is the phenomenon which non-irradiated cells exhibit effects along with their different levels as a result of signals received from nearby irradiated cells. Responses of non-irradiated cells may include changes in process of translation, gene expression, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cells death. These changes are confirmed by results of some In-Vivo s...
