Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of apoptosis in BPH stromal cells by adenoviral-mediated overexpression of caspase-7.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that expression/activity of critical components of the apoptotic pathway can be used to induce apoptosis of a human prostate cell line derived from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tissue and it is postulated that overexpression and activation of a type II caspase should cause apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epac1 (Exchange Protein Directly Activated by cAMP 1) Upregulates LOX-1 (Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor 1) to Promote Foam Cell Formation and Atherosclerosis Development.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates a fundamental role of cAMP/Epac1 signaling in vascular remodeling by promoting ox-LDL uptake and foam cell formation during atherosclerotic lesion development and represents a promising, unexplored therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fortilin reduces apoptosis in macrophages and promotes atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that fortilin in and of itself facilitates atherosclerosis by protecting macrophages against apoptosis found that anti-fortilin therapy may represent a promising next generation antiatherosclerotic therapeutic strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maximum immunobioactivity of murine small intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes resides in a subpopulation of CD43+ T cells.

TL;DR: DNA microarray analyses showed that S7+ IELs expressed higher levels of genes associated with activated T cells, whereas S7− Iels expressed genes used in the regulation of NK cells, and these findings define two functionally distinct populations of IELS based on CD43 expression independent of TCR class.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paradoxical Upregulation of Tumor Suppressor Protein p53 in Serum-Stimulated Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells A Novel Negative-Feedback Regulatory Mechanism

TL;DR: Through the mediation of p21WAF1/CIP1 and Bax, the induced p53 protein negatively regulates the growth of dividing VSMCs, thereby minimizing the inappropriate accumulation ofVSMCs.
