Many of the interstitial lung diseases represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge because their clinical even histologic features are often nonspecific. Likewise, transcriptional signatures most them unknown.To compare gene expression patterns from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), nonspecific pneumonia (NSIP) using custom oligonucleotide microarrays.We profiled biopsies 15 IPF, 12 HP, eight NSIP. Labeled complementary ribonucleic acid...

Millions who live in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa are at risk of trypanosomatid infections, which cause Chagas disease human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). Improved HAT treatments available, but therapies rely on two nitroheterocycles, suffer from lengthy drug regimens safety concerns that frequent treatment discontinuation. We performed phenotypic screening against trypanosomes identified a class cyanotriazoles (CTs) with potent trypanocidal activity both vitro mouse models HAT....

In Rat-1 fibroblasts nonmitogenic doses of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) stimulate a transient activation mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), whereas mitogenic elicit sustained response. This phase MAPK regulates cell fate decisions such as proliferation or differentiation, presumably by inducing program gene expression which is not observed in response to activation. We have examined the members AP-1 transcription factor complex stimulation with different LPA. c-Fos, c-Jun, and JunB are...

Abstract Purpose: Cancer of the urinary bladder is a common malignant disease in western countries. The majority patients presents with superficial tumors high recurrence frequency, minor fraction these experience progression to muscle invasive stage. No clinical useful molecular markers exist identify showing later progression. purpose this study was using full-genome expression analysis. Experimental Design: We did analysis (59,619 genes and expressed sequence tags) from 29 cancer (13...

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) dose-limiting toxicity, and pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic profile of TKI258 (formerly CHIR-258).A phase I escalating trial in patients with advanced solid tumors was performed. Treatment initially as single daily doses on an intermittent 7-day on/7-day off schedule. Following a protocol amendment, second schedule comprised, during cycle 1, treatment followed by 14 days continuous dosing; subsequent cycles comprised 28 dosing. Pharmacokinetics...

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is a lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by the surface expression of CD20, CD5 antigens, as well receptor CD40. Activation CD40 its ligand (CD40L) induces proliferation and rescues cells from spontaneous chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. activation also secretion cytokines, such IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha, IL-8, GM-CSF, which are involved in tumor cell survival, migration, interaction with microenvironment. Here we demonstrate that primary B-CLL...

The c-myb protooncogene encodes a highly conserved transcription factor that functions as both an activator and repressor of transcription. v-myb oncogenes E26 leukemia virus avian myeloblastosis encode proteins are truncated at the amino carboxyl terminus, deleting portions c-Myb DNA-binding negative regulatory domains. This has led to speculation deleted regions contain important sequences. We previously reported 42-kDa mitogen-activated protein kinase (p42mapk) phosphorylates chicken...

The c-myb protooncogene encodes a highly conserved 75-89-kDa transcription factor that contains three functional domains, an amino-terminal DNA binding domain (DBD), central acidic transactivation domain, and carboxyl-terminal negative regulatory (NRD). Two acute transforming retroviruses, avian myeloblastosis virus the E26 leukemia virus, transduced portions of encode Myb proteins are truncated in both DBD NRD. Several potential sites for phosphorylation by proline-directed serine/threonine...

Ras-activated signal transduction pathways are implicated in the control of cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis, but molecular mechanisms mediating these diverse functions have yet to be fully elucidated. Conditionally active forms Raf, v-Src, MEK1 were used identify changes gene expression that participate oncogenic transformation, as well normal growth control. Activation led induced c-Myc cyclin D1. Induction mRNA by Raf was an immediate-early response,...
