Effects of Periostracum Cicadae on Cytokines and Apoptosis Regulatory Proteins in an IgA Nephropathy Rat Model. [PDF]
Periostracum cicadae, the cast-off shell of the cicada Cryptotympana pustulata Fabricius, is used in traditional Chinese medicine for its diaphoretic, anticonvulsive, sedative, antipyretic, and antiallergic effects. However, the exact pathogenesis of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) remains unclear, thereby hindering investigations to identify novel

Fungal Apoptosis-Related Proteins
Programmed cell death (PCD) plays a crucial role in the development and homeostasis maintenance of multicellular organisms. Apoptosis is a form of PCD that prevents pathological development by eliminating damaged or useless cells.

Structural studies of apoptosis and ion transport regulatory proteins in membranes [PDF]
Abstract Solid‐state NMR spectroscopy is being used to determine the structures of membrane proteins involved in the regulation of apoptosis and ion transport. The Bcl‐2 family includes pro‐ and anti‐apoptotic proteins that play a major regulatory role in mitochondrion‐dependent apoptosis or programmed cell death.

Expression of Apoptosis Regulatory Proteins in the Skeletal Muscle of Tumorbearing Rabbits [PDF]
We reported finding that apoptosis occurred in skeletal muscle in the early stage after implantation. In the present study, we investigated expression of the apoptosis‐related proteins Bax and Bcl‐2 to determine the mechanism of the apoptosis. In the early stage of tumor bearing, 20 days after implantation, lean body mass (LBM) was reduced by 5.06±1.10%

Background Adenomas and serrated lesions represent heterogeneous sets of early precursors in the colorectum with varying malignant potential. They are often distinguished by their histopathologic differences, but little is known about potential differences in regulation of epithelial proliferation and apoptosis.

Apoptosis as an evolutionary battleground: pathogen pressure and the shaping of programmed cell death pathways [PDF]
Apoptosis is a tightly regulated form of programmed cell death that enables the controlled elimination of damaged or infected cells without eliciting deleterious inflammatory responses.

Aging of skeletal muscle is often accompanied by muscle atrophy and it appears that apoptosis plays an important role in this process. The detailed mechanism(s) is not completely understood, however. In this study, we examined expression of the apoptosis regulatory proteins as well as the heat shock proteins, which have been shown to modulate the ...

Regulation of Myogenic Cell Apoptosis, UPS, and Autophagy During Mammalian Skeletal Myogenesis [PDF]
Skeletal myogenesis is an extremely complex process that mononuclear myoblasts undergo proliferation, differentiation, and fusion to form multinucleated contractile muscle fibers, involving a balance between synthesis and degradation metabolism. Skeletal

Expression of apoptotic protease activating factor-1 in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands and its clinicopathological relevance [PDF]
Background/Aim. Apoptotic protease-activating factor-1 (Apaf-1) is a key molecule in the intrinsic or mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Some pathological conditions, such as cancer, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases, are the result of ...
