The cytotoxic eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) has ribonuclease activity.

Abstract:

:The eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is a specific cytotoxic constituent of granules. In this work we demonstrated that ECP has a ribonuclease activity. Purified ECP was resolved by ion exchange chromatography into subfractions, which all showed ribonuclease activity. Another eosinophil granule protein, EPX, identical with eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) had a 125-fold higher RNase activity than ECP. ECP may exert its cytotoxic effects on parasites and cells because of its extreme basicity alone or it may be internalized and act by degrading mRNA.

  • Functional inhibition of fatty acid binding protein 4 ameliorates impaired ciliogenesis in GCs.

    abstract::Ciliogenesis is often impaired in some cancer cells, leading to acceleration of cancer phenotypes such as cell migration and proliferation. From the investigation of primary cilia of 16 gastric cancer cells (GCs), we found that GCs could be grouped into four primary cilia (PC)-positive GCs and 12 PC-negative GCs. The ...
