Phorbol esters induce death in MCF-7 breast cancer cells with altered expression of protein kinase C isoforms. Role for p53-independent induction of gadd-45 in initiating death.
(East Carolina University, 1995-10)
Protein kinase C (PKC) modulates growth, differentiation, and apoptosis in a cell-specific fashion. Overexpression of PKC-a in MCF-7 breast cancer cells (MCF-7-PKC-a cell) leads to expression of a more transformed phenotype. ...
Tumour necrosis factor-alpha regulates expression of the CCAAT-enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBPs) alpha and beta and determines the occupation of the C/EBP site in the promoter of the insulin-responsive glucose-transporter gene in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
(East Carolina University, 1999-03-15)
We have demonstrated previously that treatment of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) results in a rapid (4 h) and significant (75–80%) reduction in the rate of transcription of the GLUT4 gene. Control ...
Localization and Characterization of a 7.3-kDa Region of Caldesmon Which Reversibly Inhibits Actomyosin ATPase Activity
(East Carolina University, 1992-08-15)
Cleavage of caldesmon with chymotrypsin yields a series of fragments which bind both calmodulin and actin and inhibit the binding of myosin subfragments to actin and the subsequent stimulation of ATPase activity. Several ...
Comparison of identifications of human and animal source gram-negative bacteria by API 20E and crystal E/NF systems.
(East Carolina University, 1997-01)
This study compared the abilities of API 20E and BBL Crystal E/NF identification systems to correctly identify human and animal source gram-negative bacilli of known identifications, as provided by the American Type Culture ...
Hypothesis for induction and propagation of chemical sensitivity based on biopsy studies.
(East Carolina University, 1997-03)
The reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS), the reactive upper airways dysfunction
syndrome (RUDS), the sick building syndrome (SBS), and the multiple chemical sensitivity
syndrome (MCS) are overlapping disorders ...

Genetic and biochemical analysis of a novel Ambler class A β-Lactamase responsible for cefoxitin resistance in Bacteroides species.
(East Carolina University, 1993-05)
A clinical isolate of Bacteroides vulgatus was resistant to tetracycline, clindamycin, ampicillin, cephaloridine,
cefoxitin, and other 13-lactam antibiotics except imipenem. 13-Lactam resistance was mediated by a ...
Autocrine production of extracellular catalase prevents apoptosis of the human CEM T-cell line in serum-free medium.
(East Carolina University, 1993-05-15)
CCRF-CEM is a human T-cell line originally isolated from a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At cell densities > 2 x 10 cells per ml, CEM cells grow in serum-free medium, but at lower cell densities the cultures ...
Postvaccinial (influenza) disseminated encephalopathy (Brown-Sequard syndrome).
(East Carolina University, 1995-09)
This article reports a case of Brown-Sequard syndrome that occurred in a patient following the administration of trivalent influenza vaccine. The patient responded well to intravenous steroids and physical therapy. This ...
