Na-K-ATPase plays a central role in a variety of physiological processes, including ion transport and regulation of cell volume. Our previous data showed that hyperoxia increased the expression of Na-K-ATPase α1 and β1 mRNA in lung type II cells. We similarly show that hyperoxia (≥95% O2 for 24-48 h) increased steady-state mRNA levels in both Na-K-ATPase subunits in Madin-Darby canine kidney (M...

Ostreolysin A (OlyA) is an ∼15-kDa protein that has been shown to bind selectively to membranes rich in cholesterol and sphingomyelin. In this study, we investigated whether OlyA fluorescently tagged at the C-terminal with mCherry (OlyA-mCherry) labels cholesterol/sphingomyelin domains in artificial membrane systems and in membranes of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells. OlyA-mCh...

Objective. To study the effects of extracts (SML-1, SML-2, SML-3 and SML-4) from Euonymus alatus Sied on cell proliferation and on renal tubular cell (Madin-Darby Canine Kidney, MDCK) injury induced by high concentration of glucose. Methods. MTT assay was used to evaluate the effects of herbal extracts on cell proliferation and viability in MDCK cells after exposure to high concentration of glu...

Clathrin assembly protein, AP180, was originally identified as a brain-specific protein localized to the presynaptic junction. AP180 acts to limit vesicle size and maintain a pool of releasable synaptic vesicles during rapid recycling. In this study, we show that polarized epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells express two AP180-related proteins: the ubiquitously expressed 62-kDa cla...

In polarized epithelial MDCK cells, all known endogenous endocytic receptors are found on the basolateral domain. The influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) which is normally sorted to the apical plasma membrane, can be converted to a basolateral protein by specific mutations in its short cytoplasmic domain that also create internalization signals. For some of these mutations, sorting to the basola...

BACKGROUND To contribute to the development of novel anti-influenza drugs, we investigated the anti-influenza activity of crude extracts from 118 medicinal plants collected in Myanmar. We discovered that extract from the stems of Jatropha multifida Linn. showed anti-influenza activity. J. multifida has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases, and the stem has bee...

A functional assay has been developed to identify cell surface proteins involved in the formation of epithelial tight junctions. Transepithelial electrical resistance was used to measure the presence of intact tight junctions in monolayers of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells cultured on nitrocellulose filters. The strain I MDCK cells used have a transmonolayer resistance greater than 2,00...

Alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) exerts its anti-inflammatory effect through regulating the activity of serine proteinases. This study evaluated the inhibitory effects of AAT against the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in unilateral ureter obstruction (UUO) mice and Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. C57BL/6 mice with induced UUO were injected...

FR191512, a novel polyphenolic compound, inhibited the infectivity of influenza A virus in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells in vitro. Furthermore, FR191512 showed good in vivo anti-influenza activity in a mouse model of intranasal infection with influenza A virus. The cytotoxic activity of FR191512 against MDCK cells was very weak.
