glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate/necrosis

We have reported that overexpression of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; EC 1.2.1.12) is involved in age-induced apoptosis of the cultured cerebellar granule cells that grow in a depolarizing concentration (25 mM) of KCI. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether GAPDH

TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is cytotoxic to most thyroid cancer cell lines, including those originating from anaplastic carcinomas, implying TRAIL as a promising therapeutic agent against thyroid cancers. However, signal transduction in TRAIL-mediated apoptosis is not clearly

Cerebrocortical cell cultures were prepared from 1-d-old rats. On post-culture day 6, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was added to the medium and cells were exposed for another 3 d. 5-HT elicited cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner, and the survival rate of neuronal cells was decreased to 64.9+/-5.0%

OBJECTIVE To determine the intracellular proteome of normal human chondrocytes stimulated with interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and to ascertain differences in the protein expression patterns of these 2 cytokines. METHODS Normal human knee cartilage

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a ubiquitous and abundant protein that participates in cellular energy production. GAPDH normally exists in a soluble form; however, following necrosis, GAPDH and numerous other intracellular proteins convert into an insoluble

We investigated the mechanisms by which two nitric oxide (NO) donors, diethylenetriamine/NO adduct (DETA/NO) and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), induced cell death in a J774 macrophage cell line. Both NO donors induced caspase activation within 6 h, but only DETA/NO-induced caspase activation was

Primary and passaged human synovial fibroblasts isolated from rheumatoid pannus were treated with recombinant interleukin-1 (IL-1) alpha or beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) to determine the effects of these stimuli on the relative expression of stromelysin,

A specific tumour necrosis factor alpha ribozyme (TNF-alpha-Rz) binding activity has been purified and identified by N-terminal microsequencing as the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). The purified protein as well as commercial GAPDH binds tightly to TNF-alpha

Fibrosis, characterized by the accumulation of collagen, is a consequence of a chronic inflammatory response. The purpose of this study was to determine if tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and IL-1 beta mRNA expression are altered acutely after irradiation,

We have previously reported that sustained tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha expression is suppressed by temperatures in the febrile range in human macrophages. In this study, we examined the mechanisms of high-temperature-induced macrophage TNF suppression in the RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is an energy metabolism-related enzyme, which generates NADH in glycolysis. Our previous study revealed a novel role of exogenous GAPDH in the amelioration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis-related, severe acute lung injury (ALI) in mice.

Monoclonal antibodies that could not bind native tetramers of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) but could bind to dimeric, monomeric, or denatured forms of GAPDH were used to investigate its intracellular localization. These antibodies distinctly stained the nucleus in growing HeLa

Acetaminophen (4'-hydroxyacetanilide, APAP) is a widely used analgesic and antipyretic drug that can cause hepatic necrosis under some circumstances via cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation to a reactive metabolite, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI). Although the mechanism of hepatocellular injury

In human hypertension (HT) plasma tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) and soluble TNF receptor 2 fragment (sTNF-R2) are increased, and the TNF-R2 gene (TNFRSF1B) has been implicated. Therefore, we measured Tnfr2 mRNA in kidney, adrenal, heart, and aorta from rats with ACTH-induced,

The tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) plays an important role in ovarian follicular development and ovulation process and acts through its receptor (TNFRI). The present investigation describes the expression of mRNAs encoding TNF-alpha and TNFRI in relation to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
