A c-KIT codon 816 mutation, D816H, in the testicular germ cell tumor: case report of a Japanese patient with bilateral testicular seminomas. (2006)

Tate, Genshu, Suzuki, Takao, Kishimoto, Koji, Mitsuya, Toshiyuki

Mutations of the c-KIT gene have been reported not only in gastrointestinal stromal tumors and mast cell tumors, but also in testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs). In the present study we employed...

Infertility Observed in Reproductive Toxicity Study of N-Acetyl-l-Cysteine in Rats (2003)

Miwa Harada, Koji Kishimoto, Tadakazu Furuhashi, Kazuyosi Naito, Yoshifumi Nakashima, Yoshiro Kawaguchi, ...

The toxic effects of i.v. administration of N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), a component of parenteral nutrition solutions, on fertility and embryonic development were investigated in SD male and female...

Th1 cytokines, programmed cell death, and alloreactive T cell clone size in transplant tolerance

Kishimoto, Koji, Sandner, Sigrid, Imitola, Jaime, Sho, Masayuki, Li, Yongsheng, Langmuir, Peter B., ...

The Th1 cytokines IL-2 and IFN-γ, which inhibit T cell proliferation and promote activation induced cell death, may be required to diminish alloreactive T cell numbers and to foster tolerance across...

The role of CD154-CD40 versus CD28-B7 costimulatory pathways in regulating allogeneic Th1 and Th2 responses in vivo

Kishimoto, Koji, Dong, Victor M., Issazadeh, Shohreh, Fedoseyeva, Eugenia V., Waaga, Ana Maria, Yamada, Akira, ...

We used signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) and STAT6 gene knockout (–/–) mice as recipients of fully mismatched cardiac allografts to study the role of T-cell...

Requirements for induction and maintenance of peripheral tolerance in stringent allograft models

Sho, Masayuki, Kishimoto, Koji, Harada, Hiroshi, Livak, Mauren, Sanchez-Fueyo, Alberto, Yamada, Akira, ...

Peripheral tolerance can be achieved in many but not all murine allograft models. The requirements for controlling more aggressive immune responsiveness and generating peripheral tolerance in...

Partial tolerance of subcutaneously transplanted xenogeneic tumour cell graft by Fas-mediated immunosuppression

SAWADA, TAKAHIRO, KOJI, TAKEHIKO, HISHIKAWA, YOSHITAKA, KISHIMOTO, KOJI, NAGAYASU, TAKESHI, TAKAHASHI, TAKAO, ...

Certain anti-Fas antibodies, such as RMF2, induce apoptosis of Fas-expressing cells. We applied the Fas/anti-Fas system to induce killing of Fas-expressing immunocytes with resultant...

A therapeutic target for prostate cancer based on angiogenin-stimulated angiogenesis and cancer cell proliferation

Yoshioka, Norie, Wang, Li, Kishimoto, Koji, Tsuji, Takanori, Hu, Guo-fu

Human angiogenin is progressively up-regulated in the prostate epithelial cells during the development of prostate cancer from prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) to invasive adenocarcinoma....

Cytosolic phospholipase A2 alpha mediates electrophysiologic responses of hippocampal pyramidal neurons to neurotoxic NMDA treatment

Shen, Ying, Kishimoto, Koji, Linden, David J., Sapirstein, Adam

The arachidonic acid-generating enzyme cytosolic phospholipase A2 alpha (cPLA2α) has been implicated in the progression of excitotoxic neuronal injury. However, the mechanisms of cPLA2α toxicity...

Specific inhibitor of MEK-mediated cross-talk between ERK and p38 MAPK during differentiation of human osteosarcoma cells

Shimo, Tsuyoshi, Matsumura, Shinsuke, Ibaragi, Soichiro, Isowa, Sachiko, Kishimoto, Koji, Mese, Hiroshi, ...

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor, accounting for approximately 20% of all primary sarcomas in bone. Although treatment modalities have been improved over the past decades,...
