Adenosine is an important inhibitory modulator of brain activity. In a previous ex vivo gene therapy approach, local release of adenosine by encapsulated fibroblasts implanted into the vicinity of an epileptic focus, was sufficient to provide transie

Viral delivery of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) currently represents one of the most promising neuroprotective strategies for Parkinson's Disease (PD). However, the effect of this neurotrophic factor has never been tested in the

Defective protein kinase C (PKC) has been implicated in impaired Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in the sciatic nerve of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. In the present study, alpha, beta I, beta II, gamma, delta, and epsilon isoform-specific antibodie

Human gingival crevicular fluid contains unidentified proteins which might play a role as markers in periodontal diseases. Therefore, low-molecular-weight proteins found in human gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), but absent from serum, were identified

We describe a novel bioassay to measure specific insulin-like activity in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes by determination of [3H]glycogen from d-[6-3H]glucose. The dose-response curve of insulin in this assay exhibited an EC50 of 0.42 (+/-0.04)

Histone H2A (1–10 µg/ml) added to Ehrlich ascite cell suspensions promoted: (i) Ca2+ influx, but no apparent intracellular Ca2+ mobilization; (ii) plasma-membrane depolarization and Na+ influx in Ca2+-free medium, which were recovered by Ca2+ read

The mechanism underlying the generation of cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) oscillations by bombesin, a receptor agonist activating phospholipase C, in insulin secreting HIT-T15 cells was investigated. At 25 microM, 61% of cells displayed [Ca2+]i oscill

Signal transduction of two mitogens for pancreatic beta-cells, GH and PRL, was investigated using the differentiated insulin-secreting cell line, INS-1. Addition of human GH (hGH) or ovine PRL in a serum-substitute medium increased growth, insulin co

During cell activation, Ca2+, by stimulating the NADH-producing mitochondrial dehydrogenases, triggers the generation of reducing equivalents whereby ATP production is sustained. In cell populations, [Ca2+] changes in the mitochondrial matrix were de

(1) A new insulin-secreting cell line (INS-1; Asfari et al. (1992) Endocrinology 130, 167–178) has been used to study the regulation by Ca2+ of mitochondrial FAD-linked glycerol-phosphate dehydrogenase (FAD-GPDH) in situ. (2) Enzyme activity was ex
