The human sulfotransferase (SULT) 2B1 gene is a member of the SULT2 gene family and encodes two isoforms, SULT2B1a and SULT2B1b. Although messages for both SULT2B1a and SULT2B1b are detectable in human tissues, only SULT2B1b has been identified immunologically. Compared with other human SULTs,
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a heterogeneous group of diseases developed from trophoblasts. ASPP (Ankyrin-repeat, SH3-domain and proline-rich region containing protein) family proteins, ASPP1 and ASPP2, have been reported to be dysregulated in GTD. They modulate p53 A germ cell tumor is the most common form of malignancy in early male life, and can be classified as either seminomatous or nonseminomatous. Choriocarcinoma, comprised of nonseminomatous germ cells, is the most aggressive type of germ cell tumor and characteristically metastasizes to the
Under physiological conditions, most human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are transcriptionally silent. However, re-activation of HERVs is observed under pathological conditions like inflammation or cancer. In addition to expression of HERV sequences, an impact of HERV-loci on expression of
Cytovillin is a microvillar cytoplasmic peripheral membrane protein, with prominent expression in vivo in placental syncytiotrophoblasts and certain human tumors. Cytovillin cDNA was cloned from a human placental lambda gt11 library using affinity purified antibodies. The identity of cytovillin cDNA
In order to determine the p53 status of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, 24 cases of molar pregnancies and two choriocarcinoma cell lines (JAR and JEG-3) were evaluated for the presence of mutations. The evaluation involved the whole coding sequence (i.e. exons 2-11) of the p53 gene with
Transporters for the monoamine neurotransmitters, including noradrenaline, 5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT] and dopamine, have twelve transmembrane spanning regions and cotransport Na+ and Cl- ions. Another family of Na(+)-dependent transporters is that containing the Na+/glucose and Na+/proline
A sensitive assay for antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCMC) was developed utilizing serum from a patient with gestational choriocarcinoma and the 3H-proline microcytotoxicity test for detection fo destruction of monolayer target cells. Conditions for optimal expression of ADCMC were
Two immunologically distinct glycoproteins, with a molecular weight of 28,000 and 28,500 respectively, were isolated from seeds of Luffa cylindrica using a procedure that involved acetone precipitation, gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 and ion exchange chromatography on CM-Sepharose CL-6B. The
memA was isolated by subtractive hybridization in which the mRNA repertoire was compared in a panel of human melanoma cell lines with different metastasizing potential. Expression of memA mRNA is elevated in the highly metastasizing human melanoma cell lines and derived xenografts, as compared with
Transcription enhancer factor-1 (TEF-1) has been implicated in transactivating a placental enhancer (CSEn) that regulates human chorionic somatomammotropin (hCS) gene activity. We demonstrated that TEF-1 represses hCS promoter activity in choriocarcinoma (BeWo) cells (Jiang, S.W., and Eberhardt,
