Connexin 43 Loss Triggers Cell Cycle Entry and Invasion in Non-Neoplastic Breast Epithelium: A Role for Noncanonical Wnt Signaling
Published 2019“…Cell cycle entry and proliferation were enhanced, concomitantly with c-Myc and cyclin D1 upregulation, while no detectable activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling was observed. Motility and invasion were also triggered and were associated with altered acinar morphology and activation of ERK1/2 and Rho GTPase signaling, which acts downstream of the noncanonical Wnt pathway. …”

Exendin-4 alleviates steatosis in an in vitro cell model by lowering FABP1 and FOXA1 expression via the Wnt/-catenin signaling pathway
Published 2022“…Interestingly, the silencing of β-catenin with siRNA abolished the effect of Ex-4 on these genes, suggesting dependency on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Additionally, after β-catenin silencing, OA treatment significantly increased the expression of nuclear transcription factors SREBP-1 and TCF4, whereas Ex-4 significantly decreased this upregulation. …”

Notch Signaling Inhibition by LY411575 Attenuates Osteoblast Differentiation and Decreased Ectopic Bone Formation Capacity of Human Skeletal (Mesenchymal) Stem Cells
Published 2019“…Hematoxylin and eosin staining and Sirius red staining were performed to identify bone formation in vivo. Results. Among the tested molecules, LY411575, a potent γ-secretase and Notch signaling inhibitor, exhibited significant inhibitory effects on osteoblastic differentiation of hBMSCs manifested by reduced ALP activity, mineralized matrix formation, and decreased osteoblast-specific gene expression as well as in vivo ectopic bone formation. …”

Fracture Behavior of ASTM A633 steel plate specimens with edge crack at tensile test
Published 2017“…This paper evaluates the effect of crack length on the load-displacement curve and also fracture behavior of steel specimens is investigated after tensile tests. Results show that with crack length increasing, yield strength, the ultimate tensile strength, and fracture stress show a decreasing trend. …”

Effects of vitamin E derivatives on the proliferation of KG-1 leukemic cells in vitro
Published 2017“…XTT cell viability assay, which detects the presence of metabolically active cells, was used to assess cell proliferation. A decrease in proliferation of KG-1 cells was observed upon treatment with both forms of vitamin E derivatives; however, β-T3 was more potent than γ-T3 in promoting cell death with lower IC50 values. …”
