Regulation of mouse lens fiber cell development and differentiation by the Maf gene.
Maf is a basic domain/leucine zipper domain protein originally identified as a proto-oncogene whose consensus target site in vitro, the T-MARE, is an extended version of an AP-1 site normally recognized by Fos and Jun. Maf and the closely related family members Neural retina leucine zipper (Nrl), L-Maf, and Krml1/MafB have been implicated in a wide variety of developmental and physiologic roles...
متن کاملCosuppression of Sprouty and Sprouty-Related Negative Regulators of FGF Signalling in Prostate Cancer: A Working Hypothesis
Deregulation of FGF receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signalling is common in prostate cancer. Normally, to moderate RTK signalling, induction of Sprouty (SPRY) and Sprouty-related (SPRED) antagonists occurs. Whilst decreased SPRY and SPRED has been described in some cancers, their role in prostate cancer is poorly understood. Therefore, we hypothesise that due to the need for tight regulation of ...
متن کاملConnexin50D47A decreases levels of fiber cell connexins and impairs lens fiber cell differentiation.
PURPOSE Substitutions of aspartate-47 (D47) of Connexin50 (Cx50) have been linked to autosomal dominant congenital cataracts in several human pedigrees. To elucidate the lens abnormalities caused by a substitution at this position, we studied No2 mice, which carry the Cx50D47A mutation and parallel the human pathology. METHODS Lenses from mice of different ages (neonatal to 4 months) were exa...

the purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between fear of negative evaluation (fne) and communication strategies (css) among iranian efl learners. it was aimed to examine the differences in the use of communication strategies between speakers with high or low degree of fear of negative evaluation. the current study was a case study consisting of 10 english learners at...
positive and negative regulation of th17 cell differentiation: evaluating the impact of rorc2
objective: th17 cells are known to be involved in some types of inflammations and autoimmune disorders. rorc2 is the key transcription factor coordinating th17 cell differentiation. thus, blocking rorc2 may be useful in suppressing th17-dependent inflammatory processes. the aim was to silence rorc2 by specific sirnas in naïve t cells differentiating to th17. time-dependent expression of rorc2 a...
