Identification of a potent activator of Akt phosphorylation from a novel series of phenolic, picolinic, pyridino, and hydroxamic zinc(II) complexes
(2011)
The discovery of small-molecule modulators of signaling pathways is currently a particularly active area of research. We aimed at developing unprecedented metal-based activators of Akt signaling which can potentially find ...
A quorum sensing regulated small volatile molecule reduces acute virulence and promotes chronic infection phenotypes
(2011)
A significant number of environmental microorganisms can cause serious, even fatal, acute and chronic infections in humans. The severity and outcome of each type of infection depends on the expression of specific bacterial ...
Structure-activity relationships of brassinin in preventing the development of carcinogen-induced mammary lesions in organ culture
(1994)
Brassinin, a pkytoalexin, is found in Chinese cabbage. Previously, we showed that brassinin significantly inhibited dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary lesions in organ culture. Moreover, it was an effective ...
Efficacy of garbanzo and soybean flour in suppression of aberrant crypt foci in the colons of CF-1 mice
(2004)
Background: Epidemiological studies have reported a low incidence of colon cancer in countries with high legume consumption. Moreover, experimental studies have found that legumes, such as soybeans and pinto beans, have ...
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 ...
Dietary retinoids and carotenoids in rodent models of mammary tumorigenesis
(1997)
In this review of the scientific literature the relationship between retinoids, carotenoids, and mammary carcinogenesis is examined. Several retinoids have shown promise as chemopreventive agents against chemically induced ...
Cancer chemopreventive activity of brassinin, a phytoalexin from cabbage
(1995)
Brassinin [3-(S-methyldithiocarbamoyl aminomethyl indole], a phytoalexin first identified as a constituent of cabbage, was synthesized and evaluated for cancer chemopreventive activity. Dose-dependent inhibition of ...
The Polycomb Group Protein SUZ12 regulates histone H3 lysine 9 methylation and HP1α distribution
(2007)
Regulation of histone methylation is critical for proper gene expression and chromosome function. Suppressor of Zeste 12 (SUZ12) is a requisite member of the EED/EZH2 histone methyltransferase complexes, and is required ...
A serum-free and defined medium for the culture of mammalian postimplantation embryos
(2015)
Whole embryo culture (WEC) of postimplantation rodent embryos is widely used for the study of mammalian embryogenesis and developmental toxicity testing. Its major advantage is that it allows direct access to embryos for ...
New Insights for Ets2 Function in Trophoblast using Lentivirus-Mediated Gene Knockdown in Trophoblast Stem Cells
(2010)
Mouse trophoblast stem (TS) cells represent a unique in vitro system that provides an unlimited supply of TS cells for the study of trophoblast differentiation and TS cell self-renewal. Although the mouse transcription ...
