Hedgehog (Hh) transduces signal by regulating the subcellular localization and conformational state of the GPCR-like protein Smoothened (Smo) but how Smo relays the signal to cytoplasmic signaling components remains poorly understood. Here, we show that Hh-induced Smo conformational change recruits Costal2 (Cos2)/Fused (Fu) and promotes Fu kinase domain dimerization. We find that induced dimeri...
The hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway regulates the development of many organs in mammals, and activation of this pathway is widely observed in human cancers. Although it is known that Hh signaling activates the expression of genes involved in cell growth, the precise role of the Hh pathway in cancer development is still unclear. Here, we show that constitutively activated mutants of Smoothened (...
Inflammation has been implicated in the development of many human epithelial cancers, including those of the stomach, lung, colon, and prostate. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a potent pleiotropic, proinflammatory cytokine produced by many cells in response to injury and inflammation. Here, we show that TNF-alpha exposure results in increased production of reactive oxygen species (R...
سندروم کرونری حاد فرآیندی ناپایدار و پویا است که شامل آنژین قفسه صدری ناپایدار، انفارکتوس میوکارد با بالا رفتن قطعه st و بدون بالا رفتن قطعه st است. با وجود این که اصلی ترین معیارهای تشخیص بیماران، علائم بیماری، نوار قلب و بالا رفتن سطح آنزیم است، اما اضافه کردن سایر خصیصه ها خصوصاً در 24 تا 48 ساعت اول تشخیص اهمیت بالایی دارد. تشخیص افتراقی بیماری های سندروم کرونری حاد با صحت بالا و شناسایی خصی...
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling regulates embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis through the GPCR-like protein Smoothened (Smo), but how vertebrate Smo is activated remains poorly understood. In Drosophila, Hh dependent phosphorylation activates Smo. Whether this is also the case in vertebrates is unclear, owing to the marked sequence divergence between vertebrate and Drosophila Smo (dSmo) ...
We built a pipeline for translating text into logical representation, which falls in the category of Machine Reading (MR). The essential component of the pipeline and our main contribution is the non-probabilistic rule-based framework. Other components are: syntatic parser, XLE, to extract gramamtical features from text, Enrycher, for additional natural language processing, and Cyc for semantic...
It is estimated that the etiology of 20-30% of epithelial cancers is directly associated with inflammation, although the direct molecular events linking inflammation and carcinogenesis are poorly defined. In the context of gastrointestinal disease, the bacterium enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) is a significant source of chronic inflammation and has been implicated as a risk factor f...
In the context of Software and Technology Engineering ontologies are frequently used. These can be grouped into two main categories, depending on whether they are used to describe the knowledge of a domain (domain ontologies); or they are used as software artifacts in software development processes. This paper presents some experiences and lessons learnt from the effective use of an ontology fo...
Although Hedgehog signaling plays a major role in GLI1 transcription, there is now evidence suggesting that other pathways/genes, such as c-MYC, may also regulate GLI1 expression. We initiated studies in Burkitt lymphoma cells, which constitutively express c-MYC due to a chromosomal translocation, to determine whether Hedgehog or c-MYC regulates GLI1 expression. We show that all Burkitt lymphom...
IMPORTANCE Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in patients with Gorlin syndrome have been reported to be extremely sensitive to Smoothened (SMO) inhibitors, a novel targeted therapy against the Hedgehog pathway, because of characteristic mutations in these patients. A few cases of disease refractory to oral therapy with SMO inhibitors have been reported in patients with Gorlin syndrome and nonmetastat...
