Pathogenic interactions between Helicobacter pylori adhesion protein HopQ and human cell surface adhesion molecules CEACAMs in gastric epithelial cells

Objective(s): The present paper aims to review the studies describing the interactions between HopQ and CEACAMs along with possible mechanisms responsible for pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori.Materials and Methods: The literature was searched on “PubMed” using different key words including Helicobacter pylori, CEACAM and gastric.<br ...

VGB3 Induces Apoptosis by Inhibiting Phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 at Serine 536 in the Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

Background and objectives: Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) inhibition results in an increase in apoptosis. It has been demonstrated that NF-κB subunit p65 phosphorylation at the IκB kinase phosphorylation site serine 536 (Ser536) is essential for the NF-κB nuclear translocation and activation. Therefore, NF-κB can be downregulated by suppressing its phosph...

Regional Assignment of Ptpre Encoding Protein Tyrosine Phosphataes ε to Mouse Chromosome 7F3

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) regulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of target proteins in‌volved in several biological activities including cell proliferation and transformation. Protein tyrosine phosphatase E (PTPE) contains duplicated PTPase-like domains and a short extracellular region. Us‌ing the fluorescence in situ hybridization method, the gene encoding PTPE (locus symbol Ptpre...

T-cell growth transformation by herpesvirus saimiri is independent of STAT3 activation.

Herpesvirus saimiri (saimirine herpesvirus 2) (HVS), a T-lymphotropic tumor virus, induces lymphoproliferative disease in several species of New World primates. In addition, strains of HVS subgroup C are able to transform T cells of Old World primates, including humans, to permanently growing T-cell lines. In concert with the Stp oncoprotein, the tyrosine kinase-interacting protein (Tip) of HVS...
