Comparative Genomics Reveals Key Gain-of-Function Events in Foxp3 during Regulatory T Cell Evolution
The immune system has the ability to suppress undesirable responses, such as those against commensal bacteria, food, and paternal antigens in placenta pregnancy. The lineage-specific transcription factor Foxp3 orchestrates the development and function of regulatory T cells underlying this immunological tolerance. Despite the crucial role of Foxp3 in supporting immune homeostasis, little is know...
متن کاملMetabolic Stress-Induced Activation of AMPK and Inhibition of Constitutive Phosphoproteins Controlling Smooth Muscle Contraction: Evidence for Smooth Muscle Fatigue?
Metabolic stress diminishes smooth muscle contractile strength by a poorly defined mechanism. To test the hypothesis that metabolic stress activates a compensatory cell signaling program to reversibly downregulate contraction, arterial rings and bladder muscle strips in vitro were deprived of O2 and glucose for 30 and 60 min ("starvation") to induce metabolic stress, and the phosphorylation sta...
متن کاملKey Regulatory Gene Expression in Erythroleukemia Differentiation
The characteristics of cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with cell proliferation and differentiation is important to understand malignancy. In this report we characterise a leukemic model, D5A1, to study the action of differentiation agent, cellular events and gene expression of the selected transcription factors. Cells induced with 4 mM hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) caused signs...
متن کاملEffects of prolonged hypobaric hypoxia on human skeletal muscle function and electromyographic events.
This study tested the hypothesis that a prolonged decrease in arterial oxygen pressure in resting or contracting skeletal muscles alters their ability to develop force through an impairment of energy-dependent metabolic processes and also through an alteration of electrophysiological events. The experiment was conducted during a 32-day simulated ascent of Mt. Everest (8848 m altitude) (Everest ...
متن کاملSimple freezing apparatus for resolving rapid metabolic events associated with smooth muscle activation.
A method is described for freezing thin strips of smooth muscle by replacing physiological saline in the muscle chamber with cold organic solvent in <100 ms. Calculations suggest that, with a perfectly stirred boundary at the tissue surface, freezing could occur within approximately 15 ms at the center of a 200-microm-thick piece of tissue by use of acetone coolant at -78.5 degrees C and in app...
