Engagement of the T cell receptor for antigen activates phospholipase C resulting in an increase in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Increased [Ca2+]i activates Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinases including the multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM-K II), as well as calcineurin, a type 2B protein phosphatase. R...
The immunosuppressants cyclosporin A and FK506 (tacrolimus) can block the phosphatase calcineurin, thereby inhibiting gene transcription directed by the cyclic AMP (cAMP)- and calcium-responsive transcription factor, cAMP response element (CRE)-binding protein, and its binding site, CRE, in various cell lines. This action is a novel molecular mechanism of cyclosporin A and FK506 action. Because...
Despite the increasingly important role of Hippo-Yap in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development and progression, little insight is available at the time regarding the specifics interaction of Yap and cancer cells migration. Here, we identified the mechanism by which tumor-intrinsic Yap deletion resulted in HCC migratory inhibition. Yap was greatly upregulated in HCC and its expression promot...
The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is suggested to mediate the antiproliferative effects of calcium in colon. However, in colorectal cancer (CRC) the expression of the CaSR is silenced and the underlying mechanisms leading to its loss are poorly understood. We investigated whether loss of the CaSR expression in colorectal tumors is caused by DNA hypermethylation and imbalance of transcriptiona...
Glomerulosclerosis is featured by accumulation of the extracellular matrixes in the glomerulus. We showed previously that activation of the small GTPase RhoA in podocytes induces heavy proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis in the mouse. In the current study, we investigated the mechanism by which RhoA stimulates the production of one of the extracellular matrixes, fibronectin, by podocytes, specif...
Increasing evidence shows a crucial role of the Ca2+/ calcineurin-mediated activation of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) in the regulation of a variety of processes in nonimmune cells. Here we provide evidence that NFATc1 and NFATc2 are expressed in human colon carcinoma cell lines. These proteins are translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus upon treatment with a combinatio...
S100A9 (S100 calcium-binding protein A9) is a calcium-binding protein of the S100 family, and its differential expression has been associated with acute and chronic inflammation and several human cancers. Our previous work showed that S100A9 was severely down-regulated in human ESCC (oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma). To further investigate the transcriptional regulation of S100A9, we analys...
Vitamin D controls calcium homeostasis and the development and maintenance of bones through vitamin D receptor activation. Prolonged therapy with rifampicin or phenobarbital has been shown to cause vitamin D deficiency or osteomalacia, particularly in patients with marginal vitamin D stores. However, the molecular mechanism of this process is unknown. Here we show that these drugs lead to the u...
The Tax protein of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) upregulates the expression of several cellular genes by activating members of both the NF-kappaB and bZIP families of transcription factors. Recent studies demonstrate that the CD28 response element (CD28RE) of the interleukin 2 (IL-2) promoter is the site upregulated by Tax in stimulated T cells. Although some reports suggest that ...
Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) is a marine halophilic bacterium that is commonly associated with oysters and shrimp. Human consumption of contaminated shellfish can result in Vp mediated gastroenteritis and severe diarrheal disease. Vp encodes two type 3 secretion systems (T3SS-1 and T3SS2) that have been functionally implicated in cytotoxicity and enterotoxicity respectively. In this study, we p...
