Bacterial Engulfment Mechanism Is Strongly Conserved in Evolution Between Earthworm and Human Immune Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Invertebrates, including earthworms, are applied to study the evolutionarily conserved cellular immune processes. Earthworm immunocytes (so-called coelomocytes) are functionally similar to vertebrate myeloid cells and form the first line of defense ...

Quantitative Analysis of the Cytoskeleton’s Role in Inward Rectifier KIR2.1 Forward and Backward Trafficking

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Alteration of the inward rectifier current IK1, carried by KIR2.1 channels, affects action potential duration, impacts resting membrane stability and associates with cardiac arrhythmias.

Recovery of aging-related size increase of skin epithelial cells: in vivo mouse and in vitro human study. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The size increase of skin epithelial cells during aging is well-known. Here we demonstrate that treatment of aging cells with cytochalasin B substantially decreases cell size.

Cytoskeleton-disrupting agent cytochalasin B reduces oxidative stress caused by high glucose in the human arterial smooth muscle

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2020
The role of cytoskeleton dynamics in the oxidative stress toward human vasculature has been unclear. The current study examined whether the cytoskeleton-disrupting agent cytochalasin B reduces oxidative stress caused by high glucose in the human arterial

Antiproliferative and Cytotoxic Cytochalasins from Sparticola triseptata Inhibit Actin Polymerization and Aggregation

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2022
Laying the groundwork on preliminary structure–activity relationship study relating to the disruptive activity of cytochalasan derivatives on mammalian cell actin cytoskeleton, we furthered our study on the cytochalasans of the Dothideomycetes fungus ...

Myosin V and iNOS expression is enhanced in J774 murine macrophages treated with IFN-gamma [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
Actin-based motor protein requirements and nitric oxide (NO) production are important features of macrophage activity during phagocytosis or microbicidal processes.

YAP/TAZ regulates the expression of proteoglycan 4 and tenascin C in superficial-zone chondrocytes [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Cells & Materials, 2020
The roles of cell division control protein 42 homologue (CDC42) and actin polymerisation in regulating the phenotype of superficial-zone chondrocytes (SZCs) have been demonstrated in vitro; however, the signalling pathway(s) downstream have yet to be ...

Zopfiellasins A–D, Two Pairs of Epimeric Cytochalasins from Kiwi-Associated Fungus Zopfiella sp. and Their Antibacterial Assessment

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
In our continuous search for antibacterial agents against Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) from kiwi-associated fungi, two pairs of epimeric cytochalasins, zopfiellasins A–D (1–4), were characterized from the fungus Zopfiella sp.

Use of Discrete Wavelet Transform to Assess Impedance Fluctuations Obtained from Cellular Micromotion

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Electric cell–substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) is an attractive method for monitoring cell behaviors in tissue culture in real time. The time series impedance fluctuations of the cell-covered electrodes measured by ECIS are the phenomena accompanying ...
