Several described growth factors influence the proliferation and regeneration of intestinal epithelium. Using a transgenic mouse model, we identified human gene, R-spondin1, with potent specific proliferative effects on crypt cells. Human R-spondin1 (hRSpo1) is thrombospondin domain-containing protein expressed in enteroendocrine cells as well epithelial various tissues. Upon injection into mice, induced rapid onset cell involving beta-catenin stabilization, possibly by process that distinct...
Tau proteins are a class of low molecular mass microtubule-associated that specifically expressed in the nervous system. A cDNA clone adult rat tau was isolated and sequenced. To analyze functions vivo, we carried out transfection experiments. fibroblast cell line, which transfected with cDNA, three bands tau, while six were brain. After dephosphorylation, one disappeared, demonstrating directly phosphorylation involved multiplicity tau. Morphologically, observed thick bundle formation...
FGF23 suppresses both serum phosphate and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25D] levels in vivo. Because 1,25D itself is a potent regulator of metabolism, it has remained unclear whether FGF23-induced changes metabolism were caused by 1,25D-independent mechanism. To address this issue, we intravenously administered recombinant to vitamin receptor (VDR) null (KO) mice as rapid bolus injection evaluated the early effects FGF23. Administration further decreased level VDR KO mice, accompanied reduction...
In mammals, female development has traditionally been considered a default process in the absence of testis-determining gene, Sry. Recently, it documented that gene for R-spondin1 (RSPO1), novel class soluble activator Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, is mutated two Italian families with female-to-male (XX) sex reversal. To elucidate role Rspo1 as candidate female-determining mouse model, we generated Rspo1-null (Rspo1(-/-)) mice and found Rspo1(-/-) XX displayed masculinized features including...
The R-spondin (Rspo) protein family is a recently described group of four distinct human secreted proteins. Reported activities for Rspo proteins include essential roles in vertebrate development and their ligand-type overlap substantially with those the canonical Wnt ligands that both signaling result activation beta-catenin. In general functional screen using transgenic mouse models, we identified R-spondin1 (hRspo1) as potent specific mitogen gastrointestinal epithelium demonstrated...
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT), and damage to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract plays critical role in amplifying systemic disease. Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) play pivotal not only physiological tissue renewal but also regeneration intestinal epithelium after injury. In this study, we have discovered that pretransplant conditioning regimen damaged ISCs; however, ISCs rapidly recovered restored normal architecture...

ObjectiveThe optimal anterolateral procedure to control rotational laxity of the knee is still unknown. The objective was compare ability five procedures performed in combination with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) restore native kinematics setting a deficient (ACL) and structures.MethodsA controlled laboratory study using 10 fresh-frozen cadaveric whole lower limbs intact iliotibial band.

We evaluated the clinical efficacy of endonasal endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in patients with asthma associated chronic sinusitis. Twenty-one (13 men and 8 women) from 27 to 72 years old were enrolled this study. All had sinus-related symptoms for more than 3 months computed tomographic evidence paranasal opacification. Fifteen underwent bilateral ESS under local anesthesia, 6 other without controls. The preoperative postoperative periods assessed via a questionnaire. period prior was...
Human CYP3A is the most abundant P450 isozyme present in human liver and small intestine, metabolizes around 50% of medical drugs on market. The subfamily comprises four members (CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP3A7, CYP3A43) encoded chromosome 7. However, transgenic mouse lines carrying entire cluster have not been constructed because limitations conventional cloning techniques. Here, we show that introduction a artificial (HAC) containing genomic locus recapitulates tissue- stage-specific expression...

ObjectivesGiven the common occurrence of residual laxity and re-injury post anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), additional anterolateral procedures are increasingly used in combination with an ACLR. Despite perception that there is a risk over-constraining lateral tibiofemoral (LTF) compartment, potentially leading to osteoarthritis, assessment on their effect intra-articular compartment pressures still lacking. Our objective was therefore, through pilot biomechanical study,...
