Host Recognition of Bacterial Muramyl Dipeptide Mediated through NOD2 IMPLICATIONS FOR CROHN′S DISEASE

TL;DR: NOD2 mediates the host response to bacterial muropeptides derived from peptidoglycan, an activity that is important for protection against Crohn's disease and has implications for understanding adjuvant function and effective vaccine development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of Nod2 in Myelomonocytic and Intestinal Epithelial Cells via Nuclear Factor-κB Activation

TL;DR: In this paper, expression of Nod2 is induced upon differentiation of CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitor cells into granulocyte or monocyte/macrophages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blockade of the Bcr-Abl Kinase Activity Induces Apoptosis of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Cells by Suppressing Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 5–Dependent Expression of Bcl-XL

TL;DR: It is shown that the interleukin 3-independent expression of the antiapoptotic protein, Bcl-xL, is induced by Bcr-Abl through activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (Stat)5.
Journal ArticleDOI

Erythropoietin can promote erythroid progenitor survival by repressing apoptosis through Bcl-XL and Bcl-2

TL;DR: It is shown that HCD-57 rescued from apoptosis by ectopic expression of Bcl-XL can undergo erythroid differentiation in the absence of Epo, demonstrating that a survival signal but not Epo itself is necessary for erythyroid differentiation of H CD-57 progenitor cells.
