Dact1 involvement in the cytoskeletal arrangement of cardiomyocytes in atrial fibrillation by regulating cx43

Abstract Objective: To determine the role of the dishevelled binding antagonist of beta catenin 1 (DACT1) in the cytoskeletal arrangement of cardiomyocytes in atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: The DACT1 expression and its associations with the degree of fibrosis and β-catenin in valvular disease ...

FSH receptor binding inhibitor up-regulates ARID1A and PTEN genes associated with ovarian cancers in mice

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (7), 2019
Experiments were conducted to determine if the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor binding inhibitor (FRBI) impacts the expression levels of AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) in ovaries and blood, as well as expressions of follicle...

NOP14 inhibits melanoma proliferation and metastasis by regulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (1), 2019
Malignant melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer with a high mortality rate. Nucleolar protein 14 (NOP14) has been implicated in cancer development. However, the role of NOP14 in malignant melanoma progression remains largely unclear. In this study, we observed that malignant melanoma tissue showed NOP14 ...

Effects of DACT1 methylation status on invasion and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of the methylation status of the DACT1 gene on the invasion and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. METHODS: The levels of methylation and expression of the DACT1 gene in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and CNE2 cells wer...
