Comparative study of gp130 cytokine effects on corticotroph AtT-20 cells - Redundancy or specificity of neuroimmunoendocrine modulators? [PDF]
, 2004 Objective: This comparative in vitro study examined the effects of all known gp130 cytokines on murine corticotroph AtT-20 cell function. Methods: Cytokines were tested at equimolar concentrations from 0.078 to 10 nM.

Regulation of thrombopoietin receptor expression and function [PDF]
, 2004 Of the many cells in the body, the hematopoietic cells are among those with the highest rate of self-renewal and turnover. The production and destruction of these cells are tightly controlled by a number of hematopoietic growth factors, in particular by ...

Transcriptional responses of tumor cell lines to interferon-alpha [PDF]
, 2013 Interferon is an antiviral and antiproliferative cytokine therapeutically applied to treat hepatitis infection and cancer expansion. The beneficial effects of interferon-alpha are dependent on efficient signaling by activation of defined JAK-STAT pathway

Non-canonical activation of PI3Kγ by Ca²⁺/PKCβ in mast cells [PDF]
, 2014 Mast cells are key effector cells in allergic disease triggering inflammation through mediator release. Allergens activate mast cells through the high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI), which initiates signalling pathways that regulate the release of

Identification of new genes associated with melanoma
, 2011 Purpose: Repeated failures in melanoma therapy made clear that the molecular mechanisms leading to melanoma are still poorly understood. Here, we aim to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the transcriptional profiles and signaling pathways ...

Functional interactions of the Tax and p13 proteins of Human T-cell Leukemia Virus Type I [PDF]
, 2013 Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) establishes a lifelong persistent infection in humans. Approximately 3% of the infected individuals will develop adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), an aggressive malignancy of mature CD4+ T-cells. The viral

The interferon alpha receptor utilises T-cell receptor-associated proteins for signalling [PDF]
, 2009 The interferon alpha receptor (IFNAR) and T-cell receptor (TCR) are expressed upon the T-cell surface. The dimeric Class I interferon receptor is a cytokine receptor that recognises interferons such as IFNα.

Characterisation of the role of KLF5 in normal haemopoiesis and acute myeloid leukaemia. [PDF]
, 2011 Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) encodes a zinc finger transcription factor involved in growth, differentiation and apoptosis of a number of different tissues, and it has previously been implicated as either a tumour suppressor or oncogene in various solid ...

A cytosolic factor mediating membrane recruitment of AP-1 clathrin adaptors [PDF]
, 2008 Transport of cargo within the endocytic and secretory pathway is generally mediated by coated vesicles. These vesicles are formed through the recruitment of cytosolic coat proteins to the donor membrane that act as a scaffold to form coated buds and ...
