ECM = extracellular matrix; FAK = focal adhesion-associated tyrosine kinase; PTP = protein tyrosine phosphatase; RA = rheumatoid arthritis; SF = synovial fibroblast; Src-PTK = src protein tyrosine kinase.

The effects of the stable expression of E1A and/or middle T oncogenes on the proliferative activity of PC Cl3 normal thyroid cells are reported. The proliferation of PC Cl3 cells is mainly regulated by insulin and TSH in a stimulatory way and by somatostatin in an inhibitory fashion. The transformed cell lines, named PC Py and PC E1A Py, show an autonomous pattern of proliferation. The blockade...

In this work, we have investigated the involvement of DmCatD, a cathepsin D-like peptidase, and acid phosphatase in the process of follicular atresia of Dipetalogaster maxima, a hematophagous insect vector of Chagas' disease. For the studies, fat bodies, ovaries and hemolymph were sampled from anautogenous females at representative days of the reproductive cycle: pre-vitellogenesis, vitellogene...

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and T-cell protein (TC-PTP) play non-redundant negative regulatory roles in activation, tumor antigen presentation, insulin leptin signaling, are potential targets for several therapeutic applications. Here, we report the development of a highly potent selective small molecule degrader DU-14 both PTP1B TC-PTP. mediated TC-PTP degradation requires target p...

Very little protein tyrosine phosphorylation was observed in growing (exponential-phase) Entamoeba histolytica cells by immunoblotting and quantitative immunofluorescence. After 1 h of serum deprivation, two proteins (42 and 38 kDa in SDS-PAGE) were tyrosine phosphorylated and two more proteins (96 and 63 kDa) also showed tyrosine phosphorylation when examined after 4 h of serum deprivation. In...

allergic rhinitis (ar) is an ige-mediated upper airway disease, and its impact on asthma has been widely recognized. protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor 22 (ptpn22) gene and the cytotoxic t-lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (ctla-4) gene polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with several immune-related diseases. here we investigated the reffect of these two genes’ polymorphisms ...
