Redox control of resistance to cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (CDDP): protective effect of human thioredoxin against CDDP-induced cytotoxicity.

Sasada, T, Iwata, S, Sato, N, Kitaoka, Y, Hirota, K, Nakamura, K, ...

Thioredoxin is a small ubiquitous protein with multiple biological functions, including cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. In the present study, we investigated the role of human...

Thioredoxin: a redox-regulating cellular cofactor for glucocorticoid hormone action. Cross talk between endocrine control of stress response and cellular antioxidant defense system.

Makino, Y, Okamoto, K, Yoshikawa, N, Aoshima, M, Hirota, K, Yodoi, J, ...

Adaptation to stress evokes a variety of biological responses, including activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and synthesis of a panel of stress-response proteins at cellular...

Urinary excretion of isomers of biliverdin after destruction in vivo of haemoproteins and haemin.

Hirota, K, Yamamoto, S, Itano, H A

The amount and isomeric composition of urinary biliverdin in rabbits were analysed by h.p.l.c. Physiological values were maintained after the injection of haemin. On the other hand, when haemoglobins...

Molecular mechanisms of transcription activation by HLF and HIF1alpha in response to hypoxia: their stabilization and redox signal-induced interaction with CBP/p300.

Ema, M, Hirota, K, Mimura, J, Abe, H, Yodoi, J, Sogawa, K, ...

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1alpha) and its related factor, HLF, activate expression of a group of genes such as erythropoietin in response to low oxygen. Transfection analysis using fusion...

Oxidative degradation of haemoglobin by nitrosobenzene in the erythrocyte.

Hirota, K, Itano, H A, Vedvick, T S

Substitutions on the benzene ring of nitrosobenzene did not have the same effect on oxidative haemolysis as substitutions on phenylhydrazine. We previously found that the haemolytic effect of...

The effects of recombinant rat μ-opioid receptor activation in CHO cells on phospholipase C, [Ca2+]i and adenylyl cyclase

Smart, D, Hirst, R A, Hirota, K, Grandy, D K, Lambert, D G

The rat μ-opioid receptor has recently been cloned, yet its second messenger coupling remains unclear. The endogenous μ-opioid receptor in SH-SY5Y cells couples to phospholipase C (PLC), increases...

Genetic and clinical patterns of heritable cerebellar ataxias in adults. II. Clinical manifestations.

Kondo, K, Hirota, K, Katagiri, T

Clinical data on 244 probands with spinocerebellar types, 163 with late cortical cerebellar atrophies (LCCA), and 180 with olivopontocerebellar atrophies (OPCA) were analysed. Spinocerebellar cases...
