Background/Aims: Sept4, a subunit of the septin cytoskeleton specifically expressed in quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), is downregulated through transdifferentiation to fibrogenic and contractile myofibroblastic cells. Since Sept4?/? mice are prone to liver fibrosis, we examined the unknown ...

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is known to be a marker for several somatic stem cells and cancer cells. We found that human squamous cell carcinoma HeLa cells are comprised by ALP-positive and negative cells. Single cell-derived colony assay revealed that the former cells are labile with respect to ALP ...

To further development of our miRNA expression approach to ER stress, we have employed miRNA microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify ER stress-responsible ones. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) deficient in a ER stress mediator ATF6a were treated with tunicamycin for ...

To further development of our miRNA expression approach to ER stress, we have employed miRNA microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify ER stress-responsible ones. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) deficient in a ER stress mediator XBP1 were treated with tunicamycin for 1...
