Immune Response in Stat2 Knockout Mice [PDF]

Immunity, 2000
Type I IFNs induce gene expression through Stat1 and Stat2, which can in turn associate either to form Stat1 homodimers or the transcription factor ISGF-3. Stat1 homodimers also transduce signals for IFN-gamma. To explore the unique properties of Stat2 and ISGF-3 in type I IFN signaling, its gene was targeted for deletion.

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

Pleiotropic effects in Eya3knockout mice [PDF]

BMC Developmental Biology, 2008
AbstractBackgroundInDrosophila, mutations in the geneeyes absent(eya) lead to severe defects in eye development. The functions of its mammalian orthologsEya1-4are only partially understood and no mouse model exists forEya3. Therefore, we characterized the phenotype of a newEya3knockout mouse mutant.ResultsExpression analysis ofEya3byin ...

Ablation of LRP6 in alpha‐smooth muscle actin‐expressing cells abrogates lung inflammation and fibrosis upon bleomycin‐induced lung injury

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 6 (LRP6) is a key receptor for the Wnt antagonist Dickkopf1 (DKK1). DKK1 protein expression is induced in a bleomycin (BLM)‐induced lung injury model. We show that DKK1 induces proinflammatory and profibrotic genes in lung fibroblasts.

The salivary protein BPIFA2 differentially regulates sodium preference and blood pressure in male and female mice

Experimental Results, 2020
BPIFA2 (PSP, SPLUNC2, C20orf70) is a major salivary protein of uncertain physiological function. BPIFA2 is downregulated in salivary glands of spontaneously hypertensive rats, pointing to a role in blood pressure regulation.

Knockout of the 15 kDa selenoprotein protects against chemically-induced aberrant crypt formation in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Evidence suggests that selenium has cancer preventive properties that are largely mediated through selenoproteins. Our previous observations demonstrated that targeted down-regulation of the 15 kDa selenoprotein (Sep15) in murine colon cancer cells ...

How to Design a Stable Serial Knockout Competition [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
We investigate a new tournament format that consists of a series of individual knockout tournaments; we call this new format a Serial Knockout Competition (SKC). This format has recently been adopted by the Professional Darts Corporation. Depending on the seedings of the players used for each of the knockout tournaments, players can meet in the various

Generation of Smurf2 Conditional Knockout Mice [PDF]

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2018
Smad ubiquitin regulatory factor 2 (Smurf2) is a HECT domain-containing E3 ubiquitin ligase. Together with its closely related homolog Smurf1, Smurf2 was initially recognized as a negative regulator of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling, but subsequent studies have expanded its function to regulate many ...

Characteristics of the Kelch domain containing (KLHDC) subfamily and relationships with diseases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Kelch protein superfamily includes 63 members, with the KLHDC subfamily having 10 proteins. While their functions are not fully understood, recent advances in KLHDC2's structure and role in protein degradation have highlighted its potential for drug development, especially in PROTAC therapies.
