During cholestasis, the bile acid–conjugating enzymes, SULT2A1 and UGT2B4, work in concert to prevent the accumulation of toxic bile acids. To understand the impact of sulfotransferase deficiency on human hepatic gene expression, we knocked down 39-phosphoadenosine-59-phosphosulfate synthases (PAPSS) 1 and 2, which catalyze synthesis of the obligate sulfotransferase cofactor, in HepG2 cells. PA...
متن کاملSynergism between muramyl dipeptide and lipopolysaccharide in the inhibition of glycosaminoglycan synthesis in cultured rat costal chondrocytes.
The effect of synthetic muramyl dipeptide on glycosaminoglycan synthesis in cultured rat costal chondrocytes was examined. Muramyl dipeptide alone had no effect on the glycosaminoglycan synthesis of rat chondrocytes, whereas Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide and interleukin 1 alpha inhibited glycosaminoglycan synthesis in a dose dependent manner. Muramyl dipeptide, when added to chondrocyte c...
متن کاملKnocking Down the DRD2 by shRNA Expressing Plasmids in the Nucleus Accumbens Prevented the Disrupting Effect of Apomorphine on Prepulse Inhibition in Rat
Prepulse Inhibition (PPI), the objective measure of sensorimotor gating disturbance has being widely used in animal models of schizophrenia. Dopaminergic direct and indirect agonists impair PPI. However, the profile of dopaminergic receptors involved in PPI impairment by dopamine agonists is not clear. By injecting shRNA expressing plasmids against dopamine D2 receptor genes (DRD2) in the nucle...
متن کاملSilencing of enzymes involved in ceramide biosynthesis causes distinct global alterations of lipid homeostasis and gene expression[S]
Dysregulation of ceramide synthesis has been associated with metabolic disorders such as atherosclerosis and diabetes. We examined the changes in lipid homeostasis and gene expression in Huh7 hepatocytes when the synthesis of ceramide is perturbed by knocking down serine pal mitoyltransferase subunits 1, 2, and 3 (SPTLC123) or dihydroceramide desaturase 1 (DEGS1). Although knocking down all SPT...
متن کاملSumoylation of the Tumor Suppressor Promyelocytic Leukemia Protein Regulates Arsenic Trioxide-Induced Collagen Synthesis in Osteoblasts.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein is a tumor suppressor that fuses with retinoic acid receptor-α (PML-RARα) to contribute to the initiation of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Arsenic trioxide (ATO) upregulates expression of TGF-β1, promoting collagen synthesis in osteoblasts, and ATO binds directly to PML to induce oligomerization, sumoylation, and ubiquitination. However...
