Lanthanum chloride (LaCl(3)) is a good inhibitor of both the cytosolic and mitochondrial thioredoxin reductase with IC(50) values of 1.75 and 7.46 μM, respectively. On the contrary, the related enzyme glutathione reductase is not inhibited by lanthanum ions even at

Lanthanum chloride (LaCl(3)) can affect neurobehavioral development and impair cognitive abilities. The mechanism underlying LaCl(3)-induced neurotoxic effects is still unknown. The purpose of this research was to investigate the neuronal impairment induced by LaCl(3) and discuss the possible mechanism from
The recent introduction of the La(3+) precipitation method for the enrichment of phosphoproteins allows a gel-based analysis of these posttranslationally modified proteins. However, if this method is applied to cell lysates stored in urea-containing lysis buffer for an extended period

Bradykinin (BK), a mediator of pain and inflammation, is involved in bone metabolism. We have previously reported that BK increased the synthesis of interleukin-6 and prostaglandin E(2) via phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in human osteoblasts, SaM-1. In the present study, we

Phosphate (Pi)-binders are commonly used in dialysis patients to control high Pi levels, that associated with vascular calcification (VC). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of lanthanum chloride (LaCl(3)) on the progression of high Pi-induced VC
