Extensive expansion and diversification of the chemokine gene family in zebrafish: Identification of a novel chemokine subfamily CX (2008)

Nomiyama, Hisayuki, Hieshima, Kunio, Osada, Naoki, Kato-Unoki, Yoko, Otsuka-Ono, Kaori, Takegawa, Sumio, ...

Abstract Background The chemokine family plays important roles in cell migration and activation. In humans, at least 44 members are known. Based on the arrangement of the four conserved cysteine...

The POU domain protein spg (pou2/Oct4) is essential for endoderm formation in cooperation with the HMG domain protein casanova. (2004)

Reim, Gerlinde, Mizoguchi, Takamasa, Stainier, Didier Y, Kikuchi, Yutaka, Brand, Michael

The gastrulating vertebrate embryo develops three germlayers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Zebrafish endoderm differentiation starts with the activation of sox17 by casanova (cas). We report...

Antigenic Determinants on Rat Metallothionein: Fine Epitope Mapping for a Murine Monoclonal Antibody and Rabbit Polyclonal Antisera (1990)

Kikuchi, Yutaka, Irie, Masachike, Ikebuchi, Hidehary, Sawada, Jun-ichi, Terao, Tadao, Nakayama, Shigeru, ...

In order to determine the epitope of metallothionein (MT) to a murine monoclonal antibody (MT 189– 14– 7) which had been produced by immunization with rat MT 2 (Kikuchi et al. (1988) Mol....

Preocclusive perfusion area as a determinant of infarct size in a canine model (1982)

SAKAI, KIKUO, TOMOIKE, HITONOBU, OOTSUBO, HISATSUNE, KIKUCHI, YUTAKA, NAKAMURA, MOTOOMI

The extent of myocardial infarction related to the pre-occlusive perfusion area was quantitatively evaluated in a canine model. The perfusion area was determined preocclusively by selective injection...

Autoregulatory escape and post-escape hyperaemia in a capillaron model (1974)

KIKUCHI, YUTAKA, RODBARD, SIMON

AUTHORS' SYNOPSISAutoregulatory escape and post-escape hyperaemia were studied in a passive hydrodynamic model of the capillaron (ie, one or more soft-walled permeable capillaries enclosed together...

Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Induces Stress Fiber Formation through Ceramide Production: Role of Sphingosine Kinase

Hanna, Atef N., Berthiaume, Luc G., Kikuchi, Yutaka, Begg, David, Bourgoin, Sylvain, Brindley, David N.

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a proinflammatory cytokine that activates several signaling cascades. We determined the extent to which ceramide is a second messenger for TNF-α-induced...

The zebrafish bonnie and clyde gene encodes a Mix family homeodomain protein that regulates the generation of endodermal precursors

Kikuchi, Yutaka, Trinh, Le A., Reiter, Jeremy F., Alexander, Jonathan, Yelon, Deborah, Stainier, Didier Y.R.

Vertebrate endoderm development has recently become the focus of intense investigation. In this report, we first show that the zebrafish bonnie and clyde (bon) gene plays a critical early role in...

casanova encodes a novel Sox-related protein necessary and sufficient for early endoderm formation in zebrafish

Kikuchi, Yutaka, Agathon, Antoine, Alexander, Jonathan, Thisse, Christine, Waldron, Steven, Yelon, Deborah, ...

Early endoderm formation in zebrafish requires at least three loci that function downstream of Nodal signaling but upstream of the early endodermal marker sox17: bonnie and clyde (bon), faust (fau),...

Cyp26 enzymes function in endoderm to regulate pancreatic field size

Kinkel, Mary D., Sefton, Elizabeth M., Kikuchi, Yutaka, Mizoguchi, Takamasa, Ward, Andrea B., Prince, Victoria E.

The control of organ size and position relies, at least in part, upon appropriate regulation of the signals that specify organ progenitor fields. Pancreatic cell fates are specified by retinoic acid...
