TL;DR: Results show that celastrol inhibits atherosclerotic plaque developing in apoE−/− mice via inhibiting LOX-1 and oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
CXCR4/SDF1 mediate hypoxia induced chondrosarcoma cell invasion through ERK signaling and increased MMP1 expression
TL;DR: Chondrosarcoma cell invasion is increased by hypoxia induced expression of CXCR4 and MMP1 and is mediated by HIF-1a and ERK.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum response factor MADS box serine-162 phosphorylation switches proliferation and myogenic gene programs
Dinakar Iyer,David F. Chang,Joe Marx,Lei Wei,Eric N. Olson,Michael S. Parmacek,Ashok Balasubramanyam,Robert J. Schwartz,Robert J. Schwartz +8 more
TL;DR: The phosphorylation status of serine-162 in the alphaI coil may constitute a novel switch that directs target gene expression into proliferation or differentiation programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of matrine on HeLa cell adhesion and migration
TL;DR: The data suggest that the inhibitory effect of matrine may be produced by decreased phosphorylation of VASP due to inhibition of the activity of PKA during HeLa cell adhesion and migration.
Journal ArticleDOI
beta1 integrin and organized actin filaments facilitate cardiomyocyte-specific RhoA-dependent activation of the skeletal alpha-actin promoter.
TL;DR: The results show that RhoA‐dependent skeletal α‐actin promoter ac¬tivation requires βl integrin and a functional cytoskeleton in cardiomyocytes but not in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, porting the concept that RHoA regulates SRF‐dependent cardiac gene expression through cross‐talk with βl Integrin signal pathway via an organized actin cytos skeleton.
