Late-onset thymidine kinase 2 deficiency: a review of 18 cases [PDF]
Background TK2 gene encodes for mitochondrial thymidine kinase, which phosphorylates the pyrimidine nucleosides thymidine and deoxycytidine. Recessive mutations in the TK2 gene are responsible for the ‘myopathic form’ of the mitochondrial depletion ...

Effect of antiandrogen flutamide on measures of hepatic regeneration in rats [PDF]
Male rat liver undergoes a process of demasculinization during hepatic regeneration following partial hepatectomy. The possibility that antiandrogens might potentiate this demasculinization process and in so doing augment the hepatic regenerative ...

Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome
Twenty patients with myopathic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion syndrome (MDS) were screened for mutations in thymidine kinase 2 (TK2) and deoxyguanosine kinase (dGK) genes at Columbia University, New York, NY.

Dexamethasone pretreatment impairs the thymidylate synthase inhibition mediated flare in thymidine salvage pathway activity in non-small cell lung cancer. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION:Successful inhibition of thymidylate synthase (TS) by pemetrexed, a TS inhibitor, results in a reproducible transient burst or "flare" in thymidine salvage pathway activity at 2 hrs.

Cyclosporine augments hepatic regenerative response in rats [PDF]
A number of mechanisms participate in the hepatic injury that occurs during and following liver transplantation. A normal allograft regenerative response is probably essential for a successful transplant outcome. In this study, the effect of cyclosporine,

Cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation of Theileria annulata schizont surface proteins [PDF]
The invasion of Theileria sporozoites into bovine leukocytes is rapidly followed by the destruction of the surrounding host cell membrane, allowing the parasite to establish its niche within the host cell cytoplasm.

Effect of cyclosporine on hepatic cytosolic estrogen and androgen receptor levels before and after partial hepatectomy [PDF]
Estrogen and androgen receptors within the liver have been reported to modulate the hepatic regenerative response to partial hepatectomy. Moreover, cyclosporine has several untoward effects that might occur as a consequence of alterations in sex hormone ...

Phosphorylation of eIF4GII and 4E-BP1 in response to nocodazole treatment: a reappraisal of translation initiation during mitosis [PDF]
Translation mechanisms at different stages of the cell cycle have been studied for many years, resulting in the dogma that translation rates are slowed during mitosis, with cap-independent translation mechanisms favored to give expression of key ...
