p19(ARF) is a tumor suppressor that leads to cell cycle arrest or apoptosis by stabilizing p53. p19(ARF) is not critical for cell cycle regulation under normal conditions, but loss of p19(ARF) is seen in many human cancers, and a murine p19(Arf) knockout model leads to malignant proliferation and tumor formation; its role in controlling nonmalignant proliferation is less defined. To examine thi...

       The cellular therapy and nerve tissue engineering will probably become a major therapeutic strategy for promoting axonal growth through injured area in central nervous system and peripheral nervous system in the coming years. The stem cell carrier scaffolds in nerve tissue engineering resulted in strong survival of cells and suitable differentiation into n...

First published January 7, 2011; doi:10.1152/ajplung.00117.2010.— p19 is a tumor suppressor that leads to cell cycle arrest or apoptosis by stabilizing p53. p19 is not critical for cell cycle regulation under ...

During adeno-associated virus (AAV) type 2 productive infections, the p19 promoter of AAV is activated by the AAV Rep78 and Rep68 proteins. Rep-induced activation of p19 depends on the presence of one of several redundant Rep binding elements (RBEs) within the p5 promoter or within the terminal repeats (TR). In the absence of the TR, the p5 RBE and the p19 Sp1 site at position -50 are essential...

This study demonstrated, for the first time, the following events related to p19(ARF) involvement in mammary gland development: 1) Progesterone appears to regulate p19(ARF) in normal mammary gland during pregnancy. 2) p19(ARF) expression levels increased sixfold during pregnancy, and the protein level plateaus during lactation. 3) During involution, p19(ARF) protein level remained at high level...

Considerable effort has been made to elucidate the mechanism of Lyme arthritis. We focused on p19, a cell cycle-regulating molecule, because it is known to inhibit cell cycle division of T lymphocytes which may be responsible for the induction of arthritis. We show that anti-p19 antibody treatment enhances the inflammatory response normally detected at the tibiotarsal joints of Borrelia burgdor...

The expression of polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB) is up-regulated in many types of cancer. Here, we studied the role of PTB in the growth of non small cell lung cancer cells. Data showed that PTB overexpression inhibited the growth of H1299 cells at least by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot analyses showed that PTB overexpression in H1299 cells sp...
