Modification of Cɛ mRNA Expression by EBV-Encoded Latent Membrane Protein 1 by Kazuhiko Hanashiro, Shigeto Ohta, Masanori Sunagawa, Mariko Nakamura, Mikio Suzuki, Tadayoshi Kosugi

“…To evaluate the effect of expression of latent membrane protein (LMP) 1 encoded by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) on Cɛ mRNA expression, mRNA levels were examined by RT-PCR or Northern blot analysis upon transient transfection of LMP1 in the splenocytes derived from Brown-Norway rats with or without immunization with 2,4-dinitrophenyl-conjugated Ascaris suum antigen. Splenocytes were transfected with LMP1 expression vector, pSG5-LMP1, using lipofection method. …”

Protein Kinases and Their Inhibitors in Pluripotent Stem Cell Fate Regulation by Jungwoon Lee, Young-Jun Park, Haiyoung Jung

“…Protein kinases modulate the reversible postmodifications of substrate proteins to their phosphorylated forms as an essential process in regulating intracellular signaling transduction cascades. Moreover, phosphorylation has recently been shown to tightly control the regulatory network of kinases responsible for the induction and maintenance of pluripotency, defined as the particular ability to differentiate pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into every cell type in the adult body. …”

Identification of Osteosarcoma-Related Specific Proteins in Serum Samples Using Surface-Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry by Jianli Gu, Jitian Li, Manyu Huang, Zhiyong Zhang, Dongsheng Li, Guoying Song, Xingpo Ding, Wuyin Li

“…These two proteins were further identified by searching the EPO-KB database, and one of the proteins identified as Serine rich region profile is involved in various cellular signaling cascades and tumor genesis. The presence of these two proteins in OS patients but absence from premalignant and normal human controls implied that they can be potential biomarkers for early diagnosis of OS.…”
