Galectin‐1 and galectin‐3 expression in human bladder transitional‐cell carcinomas

TL;DR: Investigation of the expression of these galectins in 38 human bladder transitional‐cell carcinomas of different histological grade and clinical stage and in 5 normal urothelium samples revealed a higher content of galectin‐1 in tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

LPS-induced IL-8 activation in human intestinal epithelial cells is accompanied by specific histone H3 acetylation and methylation changes.

TL;DR: Specific chromatin modifications occurring at IL-8 gene, including histone H3 acetylation and methylation, mark LPS-mediated IL- 8 activation in intestinal epithelial cells while it is unlikely that DNA methylation of IL-9 promoter is directly involved in IL-7 gene regulation in these cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

High mobility group I (Y) proteins bind HIPK2, a serine-threonine kinase protein which inhibits cell growth

TL;DR: A colony assay showed an impressive HIPK2 inhibitory effect on normal thyroid cells, and it is shown that HIPK 2 is able to phosphorylate the HMGI(Y) protein by an in vitro kinase assay.
