Apolipoprotein (apo) A-I generates high-density lipoprotein (HDL) by removing cellular cholesterol and phospholipid on the interaction with cells as a main source of plasma HDL. The reaction is induced by dibutylyl cyclic (dbc) adenosine monophosphate (AMP) in RAW 264, mouse

Sustained Ca2+ influx follows discharge of intracellularly stored Ca2+ in a variety of cell types previously equilibrated in Ca(2+)-free media, including cultured human mesangial cells. This Ca2+ influx pathway has been referred to as capacitative Ca2+ entry or Ca2+ release-activated

The treatment of human uterine cervical fibroblasts with concanavalin A (ConA), or a specific calmodulin antagonist, N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-7) or trifluoperazine resulted in accumulation of an active form of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2, gelatinase A). In contrast, N-(6-aminohexyl)-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-5), a weaker
Depolarization has been known to play an important role in the neuronal damage that occurs following cerebral ischemia. In the present study, we investigated the roles of calmodulin (CaM) and CaM-dependent enzymes in depolarization-induced neuronal cell death. Treatment of primary

The pectic polysaccharide, bupleuran 2IIb, up-regulates Fc-receptor (FcR) expression on peritoneal macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. The intracellular signal transduction by bupleuran 2IIb leading to the expression of FcR was studied. Neither the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulphonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride
