STAT6 Mediates Interleukin-4 Growth Inhibition in Human Breast Cancer Cells
In addition to acting as a hematopoietic growth factor, interleukin-4 (IL-4) inhibits growth of some transformed cells in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we show that insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1, IRS-2, and signal transducer and activator of ...

Increased serum IgE level is one of the features of allergic asthma. It is reported that IgE production can be enhanced by E-prostanoid 2 (EP2) receptor of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2); however, whether E-prostanoid 4 (EP4) receptor (encoded by Ptger4) has a ...

INTERACTION OF TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS PAX-5 AND STAT6 IN PATHOGENESIS OF ALLERGIC BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
The aim of this work was to study an opportunity of coordinated expression of PAX-5 and STAT6 in bronchial asthma (BA) development. 35 healthy controls, 83 patients with allergic bronchial asthma (ABA) and 63 patients with nonallergic bronchial asthma (NABA) o different severity were observed.

Regulation of μ-Opioid Receptor Gene Transcription by Interleukin-4 and Influence of an Allelic Variation within a STAT6 Transcription Factor Binding Site [PDF]
Morphine and the endogenous opioid peptide beta-endorphin exert neuromodulatory as well as immunomodulatory effects, which are transduced by mu-opioid receptors. In this report we show that stimulation with interleukin-4 induces mu-opioid receptor transcripts in human primary blood cells (T cells and polymorphonuclear leukocytes), immune cell lines ...

Global Analysis of Dynamic Epigenetic Marking and Transcriptional Regulation Underlying T-Cell Lineage Commitment [PDF]
T-cell lineage specification and commitment success depends on precise temporal induction of T-lineage specific genes, as well as repression of lineage-inappropriate programs. After entry into the thymus, T-cell progenitors still retain inherited lineage

Bayesian model-based inference of transcription factor activity [PDF]
<b>Background:</b> In many approaches to the inference and modeling of regulatory interactions using microarray data, the expression of the gene coding for the transcription factor is considered to be an accurate surrogate for the true ...

An R2R3 MYB transcription factor associated with regulation of the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in Rosaceae [PDF]
Background The control of plant anthocyanin accumulation is via transcriptional regulation of the genes encoding the biosynthetic enzymes. A key activator appears to be an R2R3 MYB transcription factor.
