Identification of E2F1 as a positive transcriptional regulator for delta-catenin
(East Carolina University, 2008-05-02)
Delta-Catenin is upregulated in human carcinomas. However, little is known about the potential transcriptional factors that regulate delta-catenin expression in cancer. Using a human delta-catenin reporter system, we have ...
Small Molecule, Non-Peptide p75NTR Ligands Inhibit Aß-Induced Neurodegeneration and Synaptic Impairment
(East Carolina University, 2008-11-03)
The p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) is expressed by neurons particularly vulnerable in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We tested
the hypothesis that non-peptide, small molecule p75NTR ligands found to promote survival signaling ...
E-Cadherin negatively modulates delta-catenin-induced morphological changes and RhoA activity reduction by competing with p190RhoGEF for delta-catenin
(East Carolina University, 2008-12-12)
δ-Catenin is a member of the p120-catenin subfamily of armadillo proteins. Here, we describe
distinctive features of δ-catenin localization and its association with E-cadherin in HEK293 epithelial
cells. In HEK293 cells ...
Anti-cancer drug induced neurotoxicity and identification of Rho pathway signaling modulators as potential neuroprotectants
(East Carolina University, 2008-07)
Many chemotherapy drugs are known to cause significant clinical neurotoxicity, which can result in the early cessation of treatment. To identify and develop more effective means of neuroprotection it is important to ...
Delta-Catenin Induced Dendritic Morphogenesis: An Essential Role of p190RhoGEF Interaction through Akt1 Mediated Phosphorylation
(East Carolina University, 2008-01-11)
delta-Catenin was first identified through its interaction with Presenilin-1 and has been implicated in the regulation of dendrogenesis and cognitive function. However, the molecular mechanisms by which delta-catenin ...
Method of detecting cancer using delta-catenin
(2008-11-04)
The present invention provides a method for detecting or screening for the presence of cancer in a subject. The method comprises obtaining, providing or collecting a tissue or fluid sample (such as a urine sample) from ...
