BACKGROUND Annexin II is a calcium-dependent phosphnolipid-binding protein that plays a role in many cellular functions. It has been proven that annexin II has been involved in many human cancers. The aim of this study is to examine the expression of annexin II in lung cancer tissues, and analyze the correlations between annexin II and clinicopathological parameters. METHODS Annexin II expres...

Auranofin has been developed as antirheumatic drugs, which is currently under clinical development for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Previous report showed that auranofin induced apoptosis by enhancement of annexin A5 expression in PC-3 cells. To understand the role of annexin A5 in auranofin-mediated apoptosis, we performed microarray data analysis to study annexin A5-controll...

Annexin A1 is a member of a large superfamily of glucocorticoid-regulated, calcium- and phospholipid-binding proteins. Our previous studies have shown that the abnormal expression of Annexin A1 is related to the occurrence and development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). To understand the roles of Annexin A1 in the tumorigenesis of NPC, targeted proteomic analysis was performed on Annexin A1-...

AIM To investigate the expression of annexin A5 in serum and tumor tissue of patients with colon cancer and to analyze its clinical significance. METHODS Ninety-three patients with colon cancer treated at our hospital between February 2013 and March 2016 were included in an observation group, and 40 healthy individuals were included in a control group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was pe...

Annexin II is a heterotetramer, consisting of two 11-kDa (p11) and two 36-kDa (p36) subunits, that is produced by osteoclasts and stimulates osteoclast formation. However, its receptor is unknown. We showed that annexin II binds to normal primary human marrow stromal cells and the Paget's marrow-derived PSV10 stromal cell line to induce osteoclast formation. 125I-Labeled annexin II binding assa...

The first integrated SGDBR laser/Semiconductor Optical Amplifier-MachZehnder modulator transmitter is presented. Devices have 3dB bandwidth ranging from 1318GHz corresponding to electrodes lengths that range between 200-300um long. This corresponds to a Vpi of 4.8-6.2V Fig. 1 MZ-SOA-SGDBR layout

Annexin II, a member of a family of Ca2+ and membrane binding proteins, has been implicated in regulating membrane organization and membrane transport during endocytosis and Ca2+ regulated secretion. To characterize the mechanistic aspects of the annexin. II action we studied parameters which determine the endosomal association of annexin II. Immunoblot analysis of subcellular membrane fraction...
