MiR-155 has a protective role in the development of non-alcoholic hepatosteatosis in mice [PDF]
Hepatic steatosis is a global epidemic that is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. MicroRNAs (miRs) are regulators that can functionally integrate a range of metabolic and inflammatory pathways in liver.

A delta-secretase-truncated APP fragment activates CEBPB, mediating Alzheimer’s disease pathologies [PDF]
Abstract Amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) is sequentially cleaved by secretases and generates amyloid-β, the major components in senile plaques in Alzheimer’s disease. APP is upregulated in human Alzheimer’s disease brains. However, the molecular mechanism of how APP contributes to Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis remains incompletely ...

Identification of hub genes and transcription factor-miRNA-mRNA pathways in mice and human renal ischemia-reperfusion injury [PDF]
Background Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a disease with high incidence rate in kidney related surgery. Micro RNA (miRNA) and transcription factors (TFs) are widely involved in the process of renal IRI through regulation of their target genes.

Prospective signs of cleidocranial dysplasia in Cebpb deficiency [PDF]
Although runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) has been considered a determinant of cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD), some CCD patients were free of RUNX2 mutations. CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (Cebpb) is a key factor of Runx2 expression and our previous study has reported two CCD signs including hyperdontia and elongated coronoid process of

Accelerated apoptosis of peripheral blood monocytes in Cebpb-deficient mice [PDF]
The CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β (C/EBPβ) transcription factor is required for granulopoiesis under stress conditions. However, little is known about its roles in steady state hematopoiesis. Here, we analyzed the peripheral blood and bone marrow of Cebpb(-/-) mice at steady state by flow cytometry and unexpectedly found that the number of ...

A functional variant in the serotonin receptor 7 gene (HTR7), rs7905446, is associated with good response to SSRIs in bipolar and unipolar depression. [PDF]
Predicting antidepressant response has been a clinical challenge for mood disorder. Although several genome-wide association studies have suggested a number of genetic variants to be associated with antidepressant response, the sample sizes are small and

Introduction of targeted therapy in the treatment of metastatic cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) has improved clinical outcome during the last years. However, only in a subset of the CMM patients, this will lead to long-term effects. CEBPB is a transcription factor that has been implicated in various physiological and pathological processes ...

Activin-like kinase 2 functions in peri-implantation uterine signaling in mice and humans. [PDF]
Implantation of a blastocyst in the uterus is a multistep process tightly controlled by an intricate regulatory network of interconnected ovarian, uterine, and embryonic factors. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) ligands and receptors are expressed in the

Dominant-Negative ATF5 Compromises Cancer Cell Survival by Targeting CEBPB and CEBPD
Abstract The basic leucine zipper transcription factor ATF5 is overexpressed in many tumor types and interference with its expression or function inhibits cancer cell survival. As a potential therapeutic approach to exploit these findings, we created dominant-negative (DN) ATF5 forms lacking DNA ...
