The strawberry jam is rich in bioactive compounds. It is economically and commercially important and widely consumed. Different strawberries cultivars can be used for its preparation, however, a careful selection should be performed to guarantee the preservation of bioactive compounds during jam storage. Two strawberry cultivars (Camarosa and American 13) were analyzed by HPLC, three anthocyani...

Here, we define an endothelial cell (EC) lumen signaling complex involving Cdc42, Par6b, Par3, junction adhesion molecule (Jam)–B and Jam-C, membrane type 1–matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), and integrin 2 1, which coassociate to control human EC tubulogenesis in 3D collagen matrices. Blockade of both Jam-B and Jam-C using antibodies, siRNA, or dominant-negative mutants completely interferes ...

Junctional adhesion molecule-C (JAM-C) plays a key role in the promotion of the reverse transendothelial migration (rTEM) of neutrophils, which contributes to the dissemination of systemic inflammation and to secondary organ damage. During acute pancreatitis (AP), systemic inflammatory responses lead to distant organ damage and typically result in acute lung injury (ALI). Here, we investigated ...

Objective—Although junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-C has been implicated in the control of inflammatory leukocyte recruitment, its role in neointima formation after arterial injury has not been elucidated. Methods and Results—In apolipoprotein E–deficient (Apoe / ) mice fed an atherogenic diet, antibody blockade of JAM-C significantly reduced neointimal hyperplasia after wire injury of carot...

The genetic relation among different populations and breeds of goats in Bangladesh was studied using 15 microsatellite markers. A total of 181 goat samples36 from Black Bengal of western part (BBW), 39 from Black Bengal of central part (BBC), 40 from Black Bengal of Hilly region (BBH), 28 from exotic breeds (JAM) and 39 from crossbred (CRW) were genotyped. The allele number per locus ranged fro...

Junctional adhesion molecule-C (JAM-C) is an adhesion molecule expressed by endothelial cells (ECs) that plays a role in tight junction formation, leukocyte adhesion, and transendothelial migration. In the current study, we investigated whether JAM-C is found in soluble form and whether soluble JAM-C (sJAM-C) mediates angiogenesis. We found that JAM-C is present in soluble form in normal serum ...
