Using flow cytometry and immunoprecipitation (IP), we have investigated the deleted in colon cancer (DCC) protein expression on the bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) cells of 16 normal subjects, 17 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients, and 10 acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients. With regard to the BM mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) of normal subjects, the DCC protein expression ra...

The Visible and Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS)/Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (SNPP) satellite provide sensor data records for the retrievals of many environment data records. It is critical to monitor the VIIRS long-term calibration stability to ensure quality EDR retrieval. This study investigates the radiometric calibratio...

The guidance receptor DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) ortholog UNC-40 regulates neuronal asymmetry development in Caenorhabditis elegans, but it is not known whether DCC plays a role in the specification of neuronal polarity in vertebrates. To examine the roles of DCC in neuronal asymmetry regulation in vertebrates, we studied zebrafish anterior dorsal telencephalon (ADt) neuronal axons. We ...

Protein kinase A (PKA) exerts a profound influence on axon extension during development and regeneration; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects of PKA are not understood. Here, we show that DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer), a receptor for the axon guidance cue netrin-1, is distributed both at the plasma membrane and in a pre-existing intracellular vesicular pool in embryo...

Reduced expression and/or ailelic loss of the putative tumor suppressor gene DCC has been demonstrated in colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, esophageal, breast, and hematological malignancies. We examined the expression of the DCC gene in 22 tissue samples from human gliomas (glioblastoma multiforme, oligodendroglioma, and mixed oligodendroglioma/astrocytoma). Seven of 8 glioblastomas multiforme ...

PURPOSE Expression of the deleted in colorectal carcinoma (DCC) gene has been found to be lost in some patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Although this finding is critical to leukemogenesis, its prognostic significance remains uncertain. To evaluate this, loss of DCC gene expression in AML patients and their prognostic significance were investigated. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A group o...

The ultra wide band (UWB) Direct Chaotic Communication (DCC) technology is considered in application to low bit rate information transmission. Performances of low bit rate DCC are discussed. In particular we pay attention to the effect of multipath processing. The implementation and experimental verification of basic elements for low bit rates DCC are also presented. Index terms – Ultra wide ba...

The paper presents application of a direct current control (DCC) method in a three-phase parallel active power filter. The shunt active power filter is employed to compensate the fundamental reactive power and harmonic distortion of non-linear loads. Due to its inverter-like topology with known parameters in the filter branch, the predictive DCC method was implemented to reduce the filter commu...

BACKGROUND The C. elegans dosage compensation complex (DCC) associates with both X chromosomes of XX animals to reduce X-linked transcript levels. Five DCC members are homologous to subunits of the evolutionarily conserved condensin complex, and two noncondensin subunits are required for DCC recruitment to X. RESULTS We investigated the molecular mechanism of DCC recruitment and spreading alo...
