We have found that purified human peripheral-blood granulocytes express constitutively significant levels of proto-oncogenes c-jun, jun B and jun D mRNA. Upon functional activation of granulocytes by 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), the levels of c-jun, jun B and jun D transcripts were increased. The three jun genes showed a similar time course in their induction by PMA, maximal mR...

Microtubule disruption by colchicine induces apoptosis in selected neuronal populations. However, little is known about the upstream death signalling events mediating the neurotoxicity. We investigated first whether colchicine-induced granule cell apoptosis activates the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway. Cultured murine cerebellar granule cells were exposed to 1 microm colchicine for 24 h....

Vagus nerve stimulation through alpha7 nicotine acetylcholine receptors (α7-nAChR) signaling had been demonstrated attenuation of inflammation. This study aimed to determine whether PNU-282987, a selective α7-nAChR agonist, affected activities of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and inflammatory cytokines in nicotine-treatment RAW264.7 and MOVAS cells and to assess the underlying molecular mechan...

Protein-induced bending of DNA has been described for numerous members of the large family of "basic regionleucine zipper" (bZIP) transcriptional modulators (1-4). However, for this class of proteins, there exists some uncertainty as to how much (or even whether) the bound target DNA is bent. This issue has been most sharply focused for the bZIP protein heterodimer, Fos-Jun, with two recent art...

Neuronal differentiation is considered to be sensitive to signals from the environment somounding the differentiating cells [I]. Such signals can be contact mediated or modulated by diffusible factors such as growth factors [2]. Our previous studies have shown that the expression of acetylcholine synthesizing enzyme, choline acetyl transferase (ChAT) is highly dependent on the cell to cell inte...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of glucosamine on matrix metalloprotease (MMP) production, on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation, and on activator protein (AP)-1 transcription factor activation in human chondrocytes. The human immortalized cell line lbpva55 and healthy human chondrocytes (obtained from healthy donors) were subjected to challenge with 10 n...
