Vybrant Apoptosis Assay Kit #5、またはChromatin Condensation/Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit with Hoechst 33342 and PI for Flow Cytometryは、アポトーシス細胞におけるクロマチンのコンパクト状態の蛍光検出をベースにした迅速かつ便利なアポトーシス用アッセイとして使用できます。このキットには、すぐに使用できる溶液として、青色蛍光Hoechst 33342色素(アポトーシスを起こしていない細胞のクロマチンよりもアポトーシスを起こしている細胞の凝縮クロマチンを大幅に明るく染色する)のほか、赤色蛍光ヨウ化プロピジウム色素(死細胞を染色する)が含まれています。
mTOR-dependent proliferation defect in human ES-derived neural stem cells affected by myotonic dystrophy type 1.

'Patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 exhibit a diversity of symptoms that affect many different organs. Among these are cognitive dysfunctions, the origin of which has remained elusive, partly because of the difficulty in accessing neural cells. Here, we have taken advantage of pluripotent stem cell lines derived from embryos ... More
Glucagon-like peptide 1 stimulates post-translational activation of glucokinase in pancreatic beta cells.

PubMed ID:21454584
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic ß cells, yet does not directly stimulate secretion. The mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are incompletely understood. Here, we report that GLP-1 augments glucose-dependent rises in NAD(P)H autofluorescence in both ßTC3 insulinoma cells and islets in a manner consistent with post-translational ... More
Nuclear expression of E2F4 induces cell death via multiple pathways in normal human intestinal epithelial crypt cells but not in colon cancer cells.

E2F transcription factors control cell cycle progression. The localization of E2F4 in intestinal epithelial cells is cell cycle dependent, being cytoplasmic in quiescent differentiated cells but nuclear in proliferative cells. However, whether nuclear translocation of E2F4 alone is sufficient to trigger intestinal epithelial cell proliferation remains to be established. Adenoviruses ... More
G protein-coupled receptor-promoted trafficking of Gbeta1gamma2 leads to AKT activation at endosomes via a mechanism mediated by Gbeta1gamma2-Rab11a interaction.

PubMed ID:18701709
G-protein coupled receptors activate heterotrimeric G proteins at the plasma membrane in which most of their effectors are intrinsically located or transiently associated as the external signal is being transduced. This paradigm has been extended to the intracellular compartments by studies in yeast showing that trafficking of Galpha activates phosphatidylinositol ... More
Tetramethylpyrazine regulates breast cancer cell viability, migration, invasion and apoptosis by affecting the activity of Akt and caspase-3.

PubMed ID:29541225
Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), an effective component of the traditional Chinese medicine Chuanxiong Hort, has been proven to exhibit a beneficial effect in a number of types of malignant epithelial cancer. However, the mode of action of TMP on breast cancer cells remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to ... More
