Cell Type Specific Suppression of Hyper-Recombination by Human RAD18 Is Linked to Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen K164 Ubiquitination by Colette B. Rogers, Wendy Leung, Ryan M. Baxley, Rachel E. Kram, Liangjun Wang, Joseph P. Buytendorp, Khoi Le, David A. Largaespada, Eric A. Hendrickson, Anja-Katrin Bielinsky

“…To investigate this, we examined three independent <i>RAD18</i>-null human cell lines. Our analyses found that loss of RAD18 in HCT116, but neither hTERT RPE-1 nor DLD1 cell lines, resulted in elevated sister chromatid exchange, gene conversion, and gene targeting, i.e., HCT116 mutants were hyper-recombinogenic (hyper-rec). …”

The cellular response of lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in keratoconus human corneal fibroblasts to RB-PDT: Insights into cytokines, chemokines and related signaling pathways. by Ning Chai, Tanja Stachon, Sabrina Häcker, Tim Berger, Zhen Li, Maryam Amini, Shweta Suiwal, Berthold Seitz, Achim Langenbucher, Nóra Szentmáry

“…Our purpose was to assess the effect of rose bengal photodynamic therapy (RB-PDT) on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, as well as on extracellular matrix (ECM)-related molecules, in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation of keratoconus human corneal fibroblasts (KC-HCFs). Additionally, the involvement of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways which are downstream of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) pathway were examined.…”
