Glioblastoma multiforme is characterized by rapid proliferation, aggressive metastatic potential, and resistance to radio- and chemotherapy. The matricellular protein CYR61 regulates cellular proliferation and migration and is highly expressed in Glioblastomas. MicroRNAs are 22-nucleotides long RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. Here, we utilized the LN229 glioblastoma c...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Chronic inflammatory status is a possible risk factor for vascular access dysfunction in hemodialysis (HD) patients, but susceptibility differences appear among individuals. Interleukin (IL)-6 is a well-known inflammatory cytokine with various polymorphisms. We examined whether IL-6 polymorphisms are associated with vascular access dysfunction in HD patients. METHODS A total o...

We investigated the transforming activity of the ret proto-oncogene with a mutation in cysteine 609, 611, 618, 620, 630, or 634 detected in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN 2A), familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC), or Hirschsprung's disease. Of these cysteine mutations, codon 634 mutations are known to be correlated with the development of MEN 2A, whereas codon 60...
