Over expression of Plk1 does not induce cell division in rat cardiac myocytes in vitro.
BackgroundMammalian cardiac myocytes withdraw from the cell cycle during post-natal development, resulting in a non-proliferating, fully differentiated adult phenotype that is unable to repair damage to the myocardium, such as occurs following a ...

Phosphorylation of numatrin and other nuclear proteins by cdc2 containing CTD kinase cdc2/p58
Numatrin is a nuclear matrix phosphoprotein whose synthesis and abundance were shown to be regulated during the cell cycle in mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes (Feuerstein, N., and Mond, J. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 11389-11397). We examined the effect of (a) CTD-kinase, which contains the cdc2 catalytic component (p34) in a complex with a p58 subunit ...

ABSTRACT Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) develops within an immunologically complex tumor microenvironment that is heavily shaped by infiltrating myeloid cells. Immune‐based treatment strategies such as atezolizumab plus bevacizumab have shown promising therapeutic benefits, but patients do not experience durable responses.

Escherichia coli cytolethal distending toxin blocks the HeLa cell cycle at the G2/M transition by preventing cdc2 protein kinase dephosphorylation and activation [PDF]
Cytolethal distending toxins (CDT) constitute an emerging heterogeneous family of bacterial toxins whose common biological property is to inhibit the proliferation of cells in culture by blocking their cycle at G2/M phase.

Navigating the Complexity: A Comprehensive Review of GSK‐3 Inhibition in Regenerative Medicine
ABSTRACT Glycogen synthase kinase‐3 (GSK‐3) is a central regulator of numerous cellular signaling pathways, with critical roles in metabolism, proliferation, differentiation, and tissue regeneration. This review explores the multifaceted effects of pharmacological GSK‐3 inhibition across multiple body districts, focusing on its highly context‐dependent

Nicotine-Induced Apoptosis in Human Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells. [PDF]
Nicotine is, to a large extent, responsible for smoking-mediated renal dysfunction. This study investigated nicotine's effects on renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis in vitro and it explored the mechanisms underlying its effects.Human proximal ...

PITALRE, a nuclear CDC2-related protein kinase that phosphorylates the retinoblastoma protein in vitro. [PDF]
Members of the cell division cycle 2 (CDC2) family of kinases play a pivotal role in the regulation of the eukaryotic cell cycle. In this communication, we report the isolation of a cDNA that encodes a CDC2-related human protein kinase temporarily designated PITALRE for the characteristic Pro-Ile-Thr-Ala-Leu-Arg-Glu motif.
