27-Hydroxycholesterol was found in surprisingly high amounts atherosclerotic human femoral arteries. When macrophages were cultured a medium containing serum, there significant transfer of 27-hydroxy-cholesterol and 3 beta-hydroxy-5-cholestenoic acid from the cells into medium. Sterol 27-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.15) is likely to be responsible for formation two products as shown by use immunoblotting, specific inhibitor, 18O-labeling technique. has unusual ability hydroxylate same methyl...

Cultured macrophages and endothelial cells have been reported to secrete 27-oxygenated metabolites of cholesterol. This mechanism was compared with the classical high density lipoprotein (HDL)-dependent reverse cholesterol transport. Under standard conditions, macrophage preparations had considerably higher capacity 27-hydroxycholesterol 3β-hydroxy-5-cholestenoic acid than fibroblasts. Western blotting showed that lung contained most sterol 27-hydroxylase protein tested. The relative amounts...

Abstract Amplification of the MYCN gene in human neuroblastoma predicts poor prognosis and resistance to therapy. We previously showed that ‐amplified cells constantly require large amounts glutamine support their unabated growth. However, identity regulation transporter(s) capture clinical significance diagnosis remain largely unknown. Here, we performed a systemic influx analysis identified predominantly rely on activation ASCT2 (solute carrier family 1 member 5, SLC1A5 ) maintain...

Branched-chain amino acids catabolism plays an important role in human cancers. Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed males and second females, new global incidence over 1.2 million cases. The branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase kinase (BCKDK) a rate-limiting enzyme catabolism, which many serious diseases. Here we investigated that abnormal colorectal result of disease process, with no initiation; BCKDK widely expressed patients, those patients express higher levels...

Abstract ULK1, the upper-most protein of ULK1 complex, is emerging as a crucial node in autophagy induction. However, regulation not fully understood. In this study, we identified TOPK (T-LAK cell-originated kinase), an oncokinase, novel upstream kinase to phosphorylate ULK1. We found that could directly bind with and at Ser469, Ser495, Ser533. The phosphorylation Ser533 by decreased activity stability addition, want examine initiation because reduction reduces occurrence autophagy....

Melatonin, an indolamine mainly produced in the pineal gland, has received a great deal of attention last decade because its oncostatic effects, which are due to immunomodulatory, antiproliferative, antioxidant and possible antiangiogenesis properties. Herein, we document antiproliferative action on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Moreover, cell signaling pathways when melatonin inhibited HUVEC proliferation were explored this study. Primary HUVECs isolated, cultured,...

The anticancer drug cis ‐diammindichloroplatin (cisplatin) can cause severe side‐effects, but to date, the mechanisms of action these dangerous side‐effects have not been completely elucidated. Since cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs), by mediating recruitment circulating leukocytes blood vessel wall and their subsequent migration into subendothelial spaces, play a crucial role in several pathophysiologic processes, we sought potential proof for CAMs pathophysiology cisplatin‐induced...
