Down-regulation of the cell-surface adhesion molecule CD44 has been suggested to play an important role in tumor progression and metastasis of prostate cancer. CD44 is encoded by a gene that contains a CpG-rich region (CpG island) in its 5ะ regulatory sequence. We tried to assess whether hypermethyl

During B- and T-cell ontogeny, extensive apoptosis occurs at distinct stages of development. Agents that increase intracellular levels of cAMP induce apoptosis in thymocytes and mature B cells, prompting us to investigate the role of cAMP signaling in human CD10+ B-precursor cells. We show for the f
Mast cells (MCs) are known as key cells of immediate type hypersensitivity reactions. It has recently been shown that MCs regulate ยฎbroblast proliferation by heterotypic cellยฑcell contact and secretion of interleukin-4 (IL-4) in vitro. It was therefore hypothesized that MCs may contribute to wound r
The role of the epidermal-growth-factor receptor (EGFR) in cervical cancer is controversial, due to technical difficulties in localizing or in quantifying EGFR by homogenate assays or immunohistochemistry. Our autoradiographic approach, in combination with morphometry, allowed cell-type-specific qua
Collagenase-3 (MMP-13) is a matrix metalloproteinase recently identified on the basis of differential expression in normal breast tissues and in breast carcinoma. To date, collagenase-3 expression has been reported only in breast carcinomas and in articular cartilage of arthritic patients; the prese
