Betulinic acid reduces ultraviolet-C-induced DNA breakage in congenital melanocytic naeval cells: Evidence for a potential role as a chemopreventive agent
(2001)Melanoma transformation progresses in a multistep fashion from precursor lesions such as congenital naevi. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light promotes this process. Betulinic acid (BA) was identified by our group as a ...

Crossreactivity to vinculin and microbes provides a molecular basis for HLA-based protection against rheumatoid arthritis
(2015)The HLA locus is the strongest risk factor for anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) + rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite considerable efforts in the last 35 years, this association is poorly understood. Here we ...

D-alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis selectively in Survivin-overexpressing breast cancer cells
(2014)d-alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) is a vitamin E derivative that has been intensively applied as a vehicle for drug delivery systems to enhance drug solubility and increase the oral bioavailability ...

FOXO3a is broadly neuroprotective in vitro and in vivo against insults implicated in motor neuron diseases
(2009)Aging is a risk factor for the development of adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases. Although some of the molecular pathways regulating longevity and stress resistance in lower organisms are defined (i.e., those activating ...

Genistein inactivates bcl-2, delays the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, and induces apoptosis of human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells
(1998)The aim of this study was to identify the molecular mechanism of action of the isoflavone, genistein. Genistein at 0.15 mM caused MCF-7 apoptotic cell death, which was accompanied by cell cycle delay in the G2/M phase. ...

The nucleotide-binding proteins Nubp1 and Nubp2 are negative regulators of ciliogenesis
(2014)Nucleotide-binding proteins Nubp1 and Nubp2 are MRP/MinD-type P-loop NTPases with sequence similarity to bacterial division site-determining proteins and are conserved, essential proteins throughout the Eukaryotes. They ...
