Differential regulation of drug transporter expression by all-trans retinoic acid in hepatoma HepaRG cells and human hepatocytes.
Abstract All-trans retinoic acid (atRA) is the active form of vitamin A, known to activate retinoid receptors, especially the heterodimer retinoid X receptor (RXR):retinoic acid receptor (RAR) that otherwise may play a role in regulation of some drug transporters. The present study was designed to characterize the nature of human hepatic transporters that may be targeted by atRA and the heterodimer RXR:RAR. Exposure of human hepatoma HepaRG cells and primary human hepatocytes to 5 μM atRA down-regulated mRNA levels of various sinusoidal solute carrier (SLC) influx transporters, including organic anion transportin...

Abstract 1248: The Gemini vitamin D analogue BXL0124 inhibits Notch signaling via HES1, resulting in the reduction of CD44+/CD24-/low subpopulation and proliferation of MCF10DCIS cells
Activation of Notch signaling is correlated with poor prognosis and decreased survival of breast cancer patients. Recent studies reported that Notch signaling plays an important role for the maintenance of tumor-initiating cells in breast cancer. Using MCF10DCIS.com human breast cancer cells (MCF10DCIS), which contain tumor-initiating subpopulation (CD44+/CD24-/low), we demonstrated that the Gemini vitamin D analog, BXL0124, reduced the tumor-initiating subpopulation in vitro and repressed the growth of MCF10DCIS xenograft tumors in vivo. In the present study, we investigated Notch signaling in CD44+/CD24-/low and CD44+/CD...

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D inhibits glutamine metabolism in Harvey-ras transformed MCF10A human breast epithelial cell
Publication date: Available online 3 May 2016 Source:The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Author(s): Xuanzhu Zhou, Wei Zheng, G.A. Nagana Gowda, Daniel Raftery, Shawn S. Donkin, Brian Bequette, Dorothy Teegarden Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the US. The active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), is proposed to inhibit cellular processes and to prevent breast cancer. The current studies investigated the effect of 1,25(OH)2D on glutamine metabolism during cancer progression employing Harvey-ras oncogene transformed MCF10A human breast epitheli...

15-Deoxy- Δ(12,14)-prostaglandin J2 stabilizes hypoxia inducible factor-1α through induction of heme oxygenase-1 and direct modification ofprolyl-4-hydroxylase 2.
15-Deoxy-Δ(12,14)-prostaglandin J2 stabilizes hypoxia inducible factor-1α through induction of heme oxygenase-1 and direct modification ofprolyl-4-hydroxylase 2. Free Radic Res. 2016 Sep 6;:1-13 Authors: Choi JE, Kim JH, Song NY, Suh J, Kim DH, Kim SJ, Na HK, Nadas J, Dong Z, Cha YN, Surh YJ Abstract 15-Deoxy-Δ(12,14)-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2), a representative J-series cyclopentenone prostaglandin, has biphasic roles in cell proliferation and apoptosis. Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) regulates expression of various genes involved in tumor growth and angiogenesis. In the present study, treatme...

Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells Interactions With Natural Killer Cells and Pro-angiogenic Activities: Roles in Tumor Progression
Conclusions MDSC are major players in the immunosuppressive scenario in cancer, thanks to their phenotype heterogeneity and critical interaction with several innate immune cells, thus representing a crucial target in oncology. Here we reviewed the interactions of MDSCs with NK cells. The contribution of key cytokines, chemokines and mediators active in this process have been discussed. We also described the contribution of MDSC on angiogenesis directly or indirectly through interactions with NK and immunosuppressive activities. A parallel of the cancer associated to the decidual counterpart of these cells is discussed, a...

Abstracts of Presentations at the Association of Clinical Scientists 143 < sup > rd < /sup > Meeting Louisville, KY May 11-14,2022
Conclusion: These assays are suitable for routine diagnostic. The UltraFast NextGenPCR is the fastest with average time (30mins), followed by Agilent (2 hrs) and MassArray (6hrs). Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to examine, measure and compare results from different assays for SARS detection, evaluate and diagnose accurately, as well as being able to plan, organize and recommend a diagnostic procedure for diagnostic laboratory. Key words: SARS-CoV-2, RNA extraction, RT-PCR, limit of detection, quantification cycle, COVID-19, in vitro diagnostic tests, Agilent, Massarray, Ultrafast. [20] From t...
