AIMS To clarify factor(s) involved in morphological dedifferentiation of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in vitro from mitotically quiescent hexagonal cells to flattened cells that lack epithelial characteristics and concurrent myoid different

In contrast to hepatic hydrosteroid dehydrogenases (HSDs) of the aldo-keto reductase family (AKR1C), little is known about a stomach one. From a mouse stomach cDNA library, we isolated two clones encoding proteins of 323 amino acid residues. They exh

Background Nitric oxide (NO) has diverse activities under physiological and pathophysiological conditions in many types of cells. In cultured hepatocytes, NO is produced by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in response to interleukin (IL)-1beta. Cis-contr

We have cloned two isoforms of cDNAs encoding novel zinc finger proteins. One form encodes a 274-amino acid protein containing an acidic amino acid and serine-rich domain and a zinc finger domain which shows high sequence homology to that of Drosophi

To clarify the regulation of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) production in vivo in mice during pregnancy and the estrous cycle, we injected [3H]PGF2 alpha i.v. into female mice and determined the structures of three urinary metabolites by gas chr

In this study we examined regulation by pituitary gonadotropins of the prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) receptor gene expression in the mouse ovary. Administration of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) to 35-day-old mice in the diestrus phase

To investigate whether a single inflammatory cytokine could stimulate nitric oxide formation in the absence of other cytokines or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), NO was measured by the redox chemiluminescence method in primary cultured rat hepatocytes and

Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina is a chorioretinal degeneration caused by hyperornithinemia and a deficiency of ornithine-δ-aminotransferase (OAT). We recently showed that ornithine exhibits cytotoxicity to human retinal pigment epithelial

Background/Aims: Recent evidence indicates that an increase in nitric oxide production after liver transplantation is associated with acute allograft rejection. Nitric oxide mediates cellular injury under various pathological conditions in the liver.

We reported here purification and characterization of a novel heptadecapeptide in bovine brain as an endogenous ligand for ROR-C, an opioid receptor homologue cloned from rat cerebrum. The amino acid sequence of the peptide that we purified is identi
