The Proline-Rich Acidic Protein Is Epigenetically Regulated
The proline-rich acidic protein (PRAP) gene was found previously to be expressed in the epithelial cells of the mouse and rat gastrointestinal tracts, and pregnant mouse uterus. This article describes the isolation, distribution, and functional characterization of the human homologue. PRAP was abundantly expressed in the epithelial cells of the human liver, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, and c...
متن کاملHydrogen-rich saline protects immunocytes from radiation-induced apoptosis
BACKGROUND Radiation often causes depletion of immunocytes in tissues and blood, which results in immunosuppression. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been shown in recent studies to have potential as a safe and effective radioprotective agent through scavenging free radicals. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that H2 could protect immunocytes from ionizing radiation (IR). MATERIAL/MET...

متن کاملGlutathione peroxidase-1 protects from CD95-induced apoptosis.
Through the induction of apoptosis, CD95 plays a crucial role in the immune response and the elimination of cancer cells. Ligation of CD95 receptor activates a complex signaling network that appears to implicate the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study investigated the place of ROS production in CD95-mediated apoptosis and the role of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxi...
متن کاملPigment Epithelium-Derived Factor (PEDF) Protects Osteoblastic Cell Line from Glucocorticoid-Induced Apoptosis via PEDF-R
Pigment epithelial-derived factor (PEDF) is known as a widely expressed multifunctional secreted glycoprotein whose biological actions are cell-type dependent. Recent studies demonstrated that PEDF displays cytoprotective activity in several cell types. However, it remains unknown whether PEDF is involved in glucocorticoid-induced osteoblast death. The aim of this study was to examine the role ...
