Trophoblast-derived heparanase is not required for invasion.
To invade the decidua and myometrium, extravillous trophoblast must degrade an assortment of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. The uterine wall is rich in heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPG), which interact with collagen, laminin and fibronectin, and bind a variety of growth factors. HSPG are catabolised by heparanase, an enzyme that is highly expressed in the placenta. The aim of this s...
متن کاملNeurturin-mediated ret activation is required for retinal function.
The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands (GFLs) [GDNF, NRTN (neurturin), ARTN (artemin), and PSPN (persephin)] interact with GDNF family receptors (GFRalphas) and activate intracellular signaling through the Ret receptor tyrosine kinase. To characterize the role of Ret signaling in retinal activity, we examined Ret hypomorphic and Ret conditional mice using electror...
متن کاملActivation-Inactivation Cycling of Rab35 and ARF6 Is Required for Phagocytosis of Zymosan in RAW264 Macrophages
Phagocytosis of zymosan by phagocytes is a widely used model of microbial recognition by the innate immune system. Live-cell imaging showed that fluorescent protein-fused Rab35 accumulated in the membranes of phagocytic cups and then dissociated from the membranes of newly formed phagosomes. By our novel pull-down assay for Rab35 activity, we found that Rab35 is deactivated immediately after zy...
متن کاملCo-Stimulation of PAFR and CD36 Is Required for oxLDL-Induced Human Macrophages Activation
The oxidative process of LDL particles generates molecules which are structurally similar to platelet-activating factor (PAF), and some effects of oxidized LDL (oxLDL) have been shown to be dependent on PAF receptor (PAFR) activation. In a previous study, we showed that PAFR is required for upregulation of CD36 and oxLDL uptake. In the present study we analyzed the molecular mechanisms activate...
متن کاملHow Much Time is Required for the Process of Reviewing and Publishing an Article?
از زمانی که پژوهش‌گران نگارش یک مقاله را به پایان برده و ارسال آن به مجله را در دستور کار خویش قرار می‌دهند، یکی از مهم‌ترین سؤالاتی که ممکن است ذهن آن‌ها را مشغول نماید این است که: " در مجله مورد نظر، چقدر زمان برای فرآیند بررسی و چاپ یک مقاله مورد نیاز است؟" این سوال، به خصوص برای دانشجویان تحصیلات تکمیلی که برای چاپ مقاله خود عجله دارند، از اهمیت بیش‌تری برخوردار است. توصیه شخصی من این است...
