Because of its prominent expression in central nervous system inflammatory pathology by astrocytes, we examined the mechanism of human IP-10 (hIP-10) gene induction by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in astrocytoma cells. When present together, IFN-gamma and

The melanoma differentiation associated gene-7 (mda-7) has a potential inhibitory role in melanoma progression, although the mechanisms underlying this effect are still unknown. mda-7 mRNA has been found to be present at higher levels in cultured normal melanocytes compared with metastatic melanoma
## Abstract ADAMโ9 belongs to a family of transmembrane disintegrinโcontaining metalloproteinases (ADAMs) involved in protein ectodomain shedding and cellโcell and cellโmatrix interactions. However, the specific biological functions of ADAMโ9 are still unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a mitogenic factor that is implicated in smooth muscle cell growth in atherosclerosis and vascular restenosis. In this study, we examined the effect of bFGF on the expression of the interstitial collagenase gene in human vascular smooth muscle cells. Results
## Abstract Receptor activator of NFโฮบB ligand (RANKL) is a critical osteoclastogenic factor that is expressed on bone marrow stromal/preosteoblast cells. Most bone resorption stimuli induce osteoclast formation by modulating RANKL expression in these cells. However, little is known about the mecha
## Abstract Although most advanced cancers are incurable, the majority of testicular germ cell tumors can be cured using cisplatinโbased combination chemotherapy. The nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway removes most DNA adducts produced by cisplatin, and the low levels of NER in testis tumor c
