To use magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and positron emission tomography (PET) dual detection of cardiac-grafted embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to examine (a) survival and proliferation of ESCs in normal and infarcted myocardium, (b) host macrophage versus grafted ESC contribution to serial MR imaging signal over time, and (c) cardiac function associated with the formation of grafts and whether improvement in cardiac function is related to cardiac differentiation of ESCs.

    We find that the arrestin pathway-selective AT1 agonist, [Sar1,Ile4,Ile8]-AngII, but not the neutral AT1 antagonist, losartan, inhibits endogenous B2 receptor signaling. In a transfected HEK293 cell model that recapitulates this effect, we find that the actions of [Sar1,Ile4, Ile8]-AngII require the...

  2. TNF receptor associated factor 3 plays a key role in development and function of invariant natural killer T cells.
    Zuoan Yi, Laura L Stunz, and Gail A Bishop

    J Exp Med (2013) PMID 23650438

    We show that TNF receptor associated factor 3 (TRAF3) plays a critical role in the transition between these two distinct signaling pathways and developmental stages. TRAF3-deficient iNKT cells in CD4(Cre)TRAF3(flox/flox) (T-TRAF3(-/-)) mice exhibit defective up-regulation of T-bet and CD122, two cri...

    We thus examined whether HSC can produce antiviral factors that inhibit HCV replication in human hepatocytes. HSC expressed functional Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR-3), which could be activated by its ligand, polyinosine-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), leading to the induction of interferon-λ (IFN-λ) a...
