Scaling Analysis on Pulsating Flame Spread over Liquids (2008)

Kozue Takahashi, Akihiko Ito, Yuji Kudo, Tadashi Konishi, Kozo Saito

Scaling analyses based on subsurface layer instability were performed to explore the role of three independent (surface tension, gravity, and viscosity) influences on the mechanism of pulsating flame...

Expression Profiling of PBMC-based Diagnostic Gene Markers Isolated from Vasculitis Patients (2008)

Kobayashi, Shigeto, Ito, Akihiko, Okuzaki, Daisuke, Onda, Hiroaki, Yabuta, Norikazu, Nagamori, Ippei, ...

Vasculitis (angiitis) is a systemic autoimmune disease that often causes fatal symptoms. We aimed to isolate cDNA markers that would be useful for diagnosing not only vasculitis but also other...

A derivative of oleamide potently inhibits the spontaneous metastasis of mouse melanoma BL6 cells (2004)

Ito, Akihiko, Morita, Nobuyoshi, Miura, Daisaku, Koma, Yu-ichiro, Kataoka, Tatsuki R., Yamasaki, Hiroshi, ...

We reported previously that the abnormally augmented expression of connexin 26 (Cx26) is responsible for the enhanced spontaneous metastasis of mouse BL6 melanoma cells, and that the exogenous...

A truncated isoform of the PP2A B56 subunit promotes cell motility through paxillin phosphorylation

Ito, Akihiko, Kataoka, Tatsuki R., Watanabe, Masafumi, Nishiyama, Kazutaka, Mazaki, Yuichi, Sabe, Hisataka, ...

Both F10 and BL6 sublines of B16 mouse melanoma cells are metastatic after intravenous injection, but only BL6 cells are metastatic after subcutaneous injection. Retrotransposon insertion was found...

A role for heterologous gap junctions between melanoma and endothelial cells in metastasis

Ito, Akihiko, Katoh, Fumitaka, Kataoka, Tatsuki R., Okada, Morihito, Tsubota, Noriaki, Asada, Hideo, ...

F10 and BL6 sublines of B16 mouse melanoma cells are metastatic after intravenous injection, but only BL6 cells are metastatic after subcutaneous injection. We found that connexin (Cx) 26 is...

Number of Mast Cells in the Peritoneal Cavity of Mice : Influence of Microphthalmia Transcription Factor through Transcription of Newly Found Mast Cell Adhesion Molecule, Spermatogenic Immunoglobulin Superfamily

Morii, Eiichi, Ito, Akihiko, Jippo, Tomoko, Koma, Yu-ichiro, Oboki, Keisuke, Wakayama, Tomohiko, ...

The mi (microphthalmia) locus of mice encodes a transcription factor, MITF. B6-tg/tg mice that do not express any MITF have white coats and small eyes. Moreover, the number of mast cells decreased to...

Increased Expression of a Nucleolar Nop5/Sik Family Member in Metastatic Melanoma Cells : Evidence for Its Role in Nucleolar Sizing and Function

Nakamoto, Ken’i, Ito, Akihiko, Watabe, Kenji, Koma, Yu-ichiro, Asada, Hideo, Yoshikawa, Kunihiko, ...

F10 and BL6 cells of B16 mouse melanoma cells are metastatic after intravenous injection, but only BL6 cells can metastasize to lungs after subcutaneous injection. Differences in gene expression...

A Truncated Isoform of the Protein Phosphatase 2A B56γ Regulatory Subunit May Promote Genetic Instability and Cause Tumor Progression

Ito, Akihiko, Koma, Yu-ichiro, Watabe, Kenji, Nagano, Teruaki, Endo, Yuichi, Nojima, Hiroshi, ...

F10, a subline of the B16 mouse melanoma cell line, is itself the parent of the more metastatic BL6 line. BL6 cells differ from F10 cells by an alteration of the gene encoding the B56γ regulatory...

Localization of the PP2A B56γ Regulatory Subunit at the Golgi Complex : Possible Role in Vesicle Transport and Migration

Ito, Akihiko, Koma, Yu-ichiro, Sohda, Miwa, Watabe, Kenji, Nagano, Teruaki, Misumi, Yoshio, ...

The BL6 subline was derived from the F10 line, which was derived from the B16 mouse melanoma cell line. BL6 cells are more invasive than F10 cells and differ genetically from F10 cells by an...

Effect of Anatomical Distribution of Mast Cells on Their Defense Function against Bacterial Infections: Demonstration Using Partially Mast Cell–deficient tg/tg Mice

Jippo, Tomoko, Morii, Eiichi, Ito, Akihiko, Kitamura, Yukihiko

Mast cells were depleted in the peritoneal cavity of WBB6F1-tg/tg mice that did not express a transcription factor, MITF. When acute bacterial peritonitis was induced in WBB6F1-+/+, WBB6F1-W/Wv, and...
