Statins inhibit protein lipidation and induce the unfolded protein response in the non-sterol producing nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 106(43) , 18285-90, (2009)

Statins are compounds prescribed to lower blood cholesterol in millions of patients worldwide. They act by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the mevalonate pathway that leads to the synthesis of farnesyl pyrophosphate, a precursor for ...

[Effects of manumycin combined with methoxyamine on apoptosis in myeloid leukemia U937 cells].

Chin. J. Cancer 27(8) , 835-9, (2008)

Repair of DNA damage is important to cell survival. Our previous study showed DNA damage response induced by manumycin in cancer cells. We hypothesized that methoxyamine, an inhibitor of base-excision repair, can enhance the antineoplastic effect of manumycin...

Polygonatum cyrtonema lectin induces murine fibrosarcoma L929 cell apoptosis and autophagy via blocking Ras-Raf and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways.

Biochimie 92(12) , 1934-8, (2010)

Polygonatum cyrtonema lectin (PCL), a mannose/sialic acid-binding lectin, has been reported to display remarkable anti-proliferative and apoptosis-inducing activities toward a variety of cancer cells; however, the precise molecular mechanisms by which PCL ind...

Plumbagin activates ERK1/2 and Akt via superoxide, Src and PI3-kinase in 3T3-L1 cells.

Eur. J. Pharmacol. 638(1-3) , 21-8, (2010)

Plumbagin, derived from the plant Plumbago zeylanica, has been shown to chronically activate ERK1/2 and inhibit Akt activity in cancer cells. However, the acute effects of plumbagin on ERK1/2 and Akt activities remain unknown. In this study, we examined the e...

Farnesyltransferase inhibitors reduce Ras activation and ameliorate acetaminophen-induced liver injury in mice.

Hepatology 50(5) , 1547-57, (2009)

Hepatotoxicity due to overdose of the analgesic and antipyretic acetaminophen (APAP) is a major cause of liver failure in adults. To better understand the contributions of different signaling pathways, the expression and role of Ras activation was evaluated a...

Genome-wide screen for modulation of hepatic apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) secretion.

J. Biol. Chem. 288(9) , 6386-96, (2013)

Control of plasma cholesterol levels is a major therapeutic strategy for management of coronary artery disease (CAD). Although reducing LDL cholesterol (LDL-c) levels decreases morbidity and mortality, this therapeutic intervention only translates into a 25-4...

Phosphorylation of histone H3 at Ser10: its role in cell transformation by v-Src.

Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 386(4) , 588-92, (2009)

We found that transformation by v-src constitutively activated phosphorylation of histone H3 at Ser10 in a transformation-specific manner. While nontransforming mutant of v-src did not activate H3 phosphorylation, H3 phosphorylation in cells expressing temper...

Reversal of age-dependent nuclear morphology by inhibition of prenylation does not affect lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Nucleus 1(6) , 499-505, (2010)

Fibroblasts derived from Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) patients and dermal cells derived from healthy old humans in culture display age-dependent progressive changes in nuclear architecture due to accumulation of farnesylated lamin A. Treating h...

Transcriptional regulation and increased production of asukamycin in engineered Streptomyces nodosus subsp. asukaensis strains.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 96(2) , 451-60, (2012)

Asukamycin, a member of the manumycin family of antibiotics, exhibits strong antibacterial, antifungal, and antineoplastic activities. However, its production in the wild-type strain of Streptomyces nodosus subsp. asukaensis ATCC 29757 is relatively low. Rece...

Autophagy induced by farnesyltransferase inhibitors in cancer cells.

Cancer Biol. Ther. 7(10) , 1679-84, (2008)

The mechanisms of action of farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) involve Rheb and the phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. mTOR in particular plays a key role in the regulation of autophagy. Collectively, the liter...
