Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome (SDS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by bone marrow failure with significant predisposition to the development of poor prognosis myelodysplasia and leukemia, exocrine pancreatic failure and metaphyseal chondrodysplasia. Although the SBDS gene mutated in
Aberrations of the long arm of chromosome 11 are among the most common chromosome abnormalities in lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD). Translocations involving BCL1 at 11q13 are strongly associated with mantle cell lymphoma. other nonrandom aberrations, especially deletions and, less frequently,
Vitamin D3 (D2 is 22-ene,24-methyl D3) is a prehormone which is hydroxylated by mixed function mono-oxygenase NADPH-cytochrome P-450 ferredoxin/ferredoxin reductase systems in liver parenchyma and renal proximal tubular cells to 25-hydroxy, then 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, the active hormone.
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 induces the human promyelocyte leukemia cell line, HL-60, to differentiate into macrophages/monocytes via a steroid-receptor mechanism. This system is a relevant one for an investigation of the molecular mechanism of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. We have now examined the effect
Site-directed mutagenesis was used to generate a series of substitutions and deletions in the carboxyl-terminal 11 residues of gp91phox, the 91-kDa subunit of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase flavocytochrome b558. This region encompasses 559RGVHFIF565, implicated as a contact point for the cytosolic
In order to assess the role of oxidative stress in the cytotoxicity of natural hydroxyanthraquinones, we compared rhein, emodin, danthron, chrysophanol, and carminic acid, and a series of model quinones with available values of single-electron reduction midpoint potential at pH 7.0 (E(1)7), with
We have synthesized nitroaromatic derivatives of triterpenoid betulin (lup-20(29)-ene-3 beta, 28-diol), betulin-(28)-5'-(aziridin-1-yl)-2',4'-dinitrobenzoate and betulin-(28)-5'-nitro-2'-furoate. These compounds were reduced in single-electron way by ferredoxin: NADP+ reductase and flavocytochrome
A chromosomal translocation in a T-cell leukemia involving the short arm of human chromosome 11 at band 11p15 disrupts the rhombotin gene. This gene encodes a protein with duplicated cysteine-rich regions called LIM domains, which show homology to zinc-binding proteins and to iron-sulfur centers of
BACKGROUND
p53 is a tumor suppressor protein involved in regulating a wide array of signaling pathways. The role of p53 in the cell is determined by the type of imposed oxidative stress, its intensity and duration. The last decade of research has unravelled a dual nature in the function of p53 in
