Abstract:
:Nucleophosmin (NPM) is a multifunctional nucleolar protein that has been linked with nucleolar stress. In non-neuronal cell lines, NPM may enhance or inhibit the activity of tumor suppressor p53, a major apoptotic protein. The relationship between NPM and p53 in the central nervous system (CNS) remains unknown. Here, we assessed the role of NPM in the CNS using a model of seizure-induced neurodegeneration. We show that NPM overexpression is neuroprotective against kainic acid-induced excitotoxicity, and that downregulation of NPM is pro-apoptotic in a p53-independent manner. These results suggest a key role for NPM in promoting neuronal survival and a novel mechanism of neuronal degeneration triggered by nucleolar stress.

杂志文章abstract::Atrial- and brain-type natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP, respectively) have been shown to exert potent lipolytic action in adipocytes. A family of natriuretic peptide receptors (NPRs), NPR-1, NPR-2, and NPR-3, mediates their physiologic effects. NPR-1 and NPR-2 are receptor guanylyl cyclases, while NPR-3 lacks enzyma...
