TBC1D9B functions as a GTPase-activating protein for Rab11a in polarized MDCK cells [PDF]
Rab11a is a key modulator of vesicular trafficking processes, but there is limited information about the guanine nucleotide-exchange factors and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) that regulate its GTP-GDP cycle. We observed that in the presence of Mg(2+)

NaCl transport by Madin Darby canine kidney cyst epithelial cells
The mechanism of NaCl transport across the epithelium of intact MDCK cysts grown in a collagen gel matrix was investigated. Double-barreled microelectrodes were used to measure basolateral membrane PD (Vbl), transepithelial PD (Vt), and intracellular (Cli) and intralumenal (Clcy) Cl- activities in cysts under different conditions. In a control Ringer's

Regulation of epithelial migration by epithelial cell adhesion molecule requires its Claudin-7 interaction domain. [PDF]
Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a glycoprotein on the surface of epithelial cells that is essential for intestinal epithelial integrity and expressed at high levels in many epithelial derived cancers and circulating tumor cells. Here we show

Identification, Characterization, and Localization of a Novel Kidney Polycystin-1-Polycystin-2 Complex [PDF]
The functions of the two proteins defective in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, have not been fully clarified, but it has been hypothesized that they may heterodimerize to form a "polycystin complex" involved ...

Contemporary human H3N2 influenza A viruses require a low threshold of suitable glycan receptors for efficient infection [PDF]
Recent human H3N2 influenza A viruses have evolved to employ elongated glycans terminating in α2,6-linked sialic acid as their receptors. These glycans are displayed in low abundancies by (humanized) Madin-Darby Canine Kidney cells, which are commonly ...

cfa-miR-143 Promotes Apoptosis via the p53 Pathway in Canine Influenza Virus H3N2-Infected Cells
MicroRNAs regulate multiple aspects of the host response to viral infection. This study verified that the expression of cfa-miR-143 was upregulated in vivo and in vitro by canine influenza virus (CIV) H3N2 infection. To understand the role of cfa-miR-143

Summary: Madin-Darby canine kidney II (MDCKII) cells are widely used to study epithelial morphogenesis. To better understand this process, we performed time course RNA-seq analysis of MDCKII 3D cystogenesis, along with polarized 2D cells for comparison ...

Second-generation nitazoxanide derivatives: thiazolides are effective inhibitors of the influenza A virus [PDF]
Aim: The only small molecule drugs currently available for treatment of influenza A virus (IAV) are M2 ion channel blockers and sialidase inhibitors. The prototype thiazolide, nitazoxanide, has successfully completed Phase III clinical trials against ...
