Project description:We provide evidence that the Unc-51-like kinase 1 (ULK1) is phosphorylated and activated during engagement of the Type I IFN receptor. Our studies demonstrate that the function of ULK1 controls expression of key interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) that mediate important biological functions, including anti-viral and antineoplastic responses. Total RNA was isolated from untreated and IFNβ-treated Ulk1/2+/+ and Ulk1/2-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Cells were treated for 6 hours with or without mouse IFNβ (2500 IU/ml).
Project description:Carbendazim (Methyl benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate; MBC) is an antimitotic drug used for broad-spectrum fungicide, antineoplastic and mutagen in microbial breeding. Using a customized SNP microarray technology, this work revealed the effect of MBC on genomic instability (loss of heterozygosity, chromosomal rearrangements and aneuploidy) in the diploid yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae JSC25.

Project description:We provide evidence for the essential role of Sirt2 in IFN mediated signaling. Our studies demonstrate that SIRT2 controls expression of key interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) that mediate important biological functions, including anti-viral and antineoplastic responses.
Project description:Based on microRNA expression profiling studies, here we focus on miR-126&126* as the most downmodulated microRNAs in a panel of melanoma cell lines at different stages of progression compared with normal human melanocytes. At present no data exist on miR-126&126* possible role in melanoma. Our results show miR-126/miR-126* downregulation associated with tumor progression and the antineoplastic role deriving from their restored expression in metastatic melanomas in vitro as well as in vivo.
