Modeling Congenital Hyperinsulinism with ABCC8-Deficient Human Embryonic Stem Cells Generated by CRISPR/Cas9

584 views | Feb 12 2019

Guo D et al. found that pancreatic differentiation of ABCC8-deficient cells recapitulated the CHI disease phenotype in vitro, which represents an attractive model to further elucidate the function of SUR1 and to develop and screen for novel therapeutic drugs. [Read the Full Post]

PCSK9-deficiency does not alter blood pressure and sodium balance in mouse models of hypertension

891 views | Sep 06 2018

Berger JM et al. found that PCSK9-deficiency did not alter both basal blood pressure and its increase in salt-insensitive (l-NAME) and salt-sensitive (Ang-II and DOCA-salt) hypertension models. [Read the Full Post]

Nawara K et al. illustrated the important role of methoxy and daunosamine moieties in anthracycline-iron(III) complex formation and stability. [Read the Full Post]

Tetrandrine has anti-adipogenic effect on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes through the reduced expression and/or phosphorylation levels of C/EBP-α, PPAR-γ, FAS, perilipin A, and STAT-3

1069 views | Oct 07 2017

Jang BC et al. show that tetrandrine has strong anti-adipogenic effect on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and the effect is largely attributable to the reduced expression and/or phosphorylation levels of C/EBP-α, PPAR-γ, FAS, perilipin A, and STAT-3. [Read the Full Post]

P-glycoprotein confers acquired resistance to 17-DMAG in lung cancers with an ALK rearrangement

1008 views | Sep 20 2017

Kim HJ et al. observed that the growth-inhibitory effect of 17-DMAG was decreased in A549/PR and H460/PR cells generated to over-express P-gp by long-term exposure to paclitaxel, and these cells recovered their sensitivity to 17-DMAG through the inhibition of P-gp. [Read the Full Post]

Ouabain isolated from plants is widely used by scientists in in vitro studies

3281 views | May 30 2013

In many non rodent species, low concentrations of this substance (i.e., in the subnanomolar range) may stimulate the Na-K-ATPase. The mechanism of the stimulatory effect is not understood and remains controversial. Further, the issue in rodents is more complicated because there are different isoforms of the Na-K-ATPase - some of which are very sensitive to ouabain while others are not. [Read the Full Post]
