Previous studies have shown that the cyclin-dependent kiterestingly, the p15 gene was frequently methylated in patients with high-risk MDS (refractory anemia with excess nase inhibitor (CDKI) genes p15 and p16 are frequently inactivated by genetic alterations in many malignant blasts [RAEB], RAEB in transformation [RAEB-t], and overt leukemia evolved from MDS; 14/18 [78%]) compared with tumors ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the methylation status and mRNA expression levels of P15, death-associated protein kinase (DAPK), and suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS1) genes in multiple myeloma (MM). MATERIALS AND METHODS The bone marrow samples of 54 MM patients were collected and the methylation status of the P15, DAPK, and SOCS1 gene promoter regions was determ...

The prognostic significance of the inactivation of the p16, p15, and p14 genes has been reported in lymphoid malignancies in humans. To evaluate the relationship between inactivation of the p16, p15, and p14 genes and prognosis in canine high-grade lymphoma, primary tumor cell samples obtained from 71 dogs with high-grade lymphoma were examined for the expression levels of these genes. Quantita...

The development of cholinergic cells in the rat retina has been examined with immunocytochemistry by using antisera against choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). ChAT-immunoreactive (IR) cells were first detected at embryonic day 17 (E17) in the transitional zone between the neuroblastic layer (NBL) and ganglion cell layer (GCL). At E20, ChAT-IR cells are located exclusively in the GCL. At postnata...

Central conduction time following median nerve stimulation has been recorded in 28 patients with infratentorial space occupying lesions. Fourteen of these (50%) showed a prolonged central conduction time, which invariably involved that segment of the conduction time between the dorsal column nuclei generators and the generation site for P15, which we believe to be the upper brain stem or thalam...

Human TAP is an orthologue of the yeast mRNA export factor Mex67p. In mammalian cells, TAP has a preferential intranuclear localization, but can also be detected at the nuclear pores and shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. TAP directly associates with mRNA in vivo, as it can be UV-crosslinked to poly(A)+ RNA in HeLa cells. Both the FG-repeat domain of nucleoporin CAN/Nup214 and a no...
