Article Title: Elevated cell migration, invasion and tumorigenicity in human KB carcinoma cells transfected with COX-2 cDNA
Article Snippet: The membrane was rinsed, treated with nitroblue tetrazolium (Sigma-Aldrich) and 5-bromo-4-chloro3-indolyl phosphate (Sigma-Aldrich) to visualize protein bands. .. The primary antibodies used were goat polyclonal antibody against COX-2, COX-1, RhoA and actin, and rabbit polyclonal antibody against Rac1 and Cdc42 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), and mouse monoclonal antibodies against human MT1-MMP, TIMP-1, TIMP-2 (Daiichi Fine Chemical Co. Ltd., Toyama, Japan). .. The secondary antibodies used were anti-goat, -rabbit or -mouse IgGs conjugated with alkaline phosphatase (Santa Cruz Biotechnology).

Article Title: Low-Dose Endothelial Monocyte-Activating Polypeptide-II Induces Blood-Tumor Barrier Opening Via the cAMP/PKA/Rac1 Pathway.
Article Snippet: Previous studies have demonstrated that low-dose endothelial monocyte-activating polypeptide-II (EMAP-II) induces blood–tumor barrier (BTB) hyperpermeability via both paracellular and transcellular pathways.. In a recent study, we revealed that cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/ protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent signaling pathway is involved in EMAP-II-induced BTB hyperpermeability.. This study further investigated the exact mechanisms through which the cAMP/PKA-dependent signaling pathway affects EMAP-II-induced BTB hyperpermeability.

Figure 6. WAVE1, PKA RII and RAC1 distribution in mature sperm. Mature mouse, bull, baboon and human semen samples were studied by immunocytochemistry. (A) A bright signal of WAVE1 (green) can be seen on the mitochondrial sheaths in the majority of mature mouse sperm. (B) PKA RII (red) is visualized as a bright signal in the mitochondrial sheath and, to a lesser extent, also in the principal piece. (C) The small GTPase RAC1 (red) is observed in both equatorial and post-acrosomal regions of the sperm head. A faint staining of RAC1 is also observed on the mitochondrial sheath. In mature bull sperm, a consistent co-localization of WAVE1 and PKA RII is observed on the mitochondrial sheath (A0 and B0). Similar to the mature mouse sperm, RAC1 is preferentially distributed in the equatorial and post-acrosomal regions (C0). Similar co-localization of WAVE1 and PKA RII is detected in mature baboon and human sperm (A00, B00, A000, B000). RAC1 also localizes to the equatorial and post-acrosomal regions in baboon and human sperm. RAC1 co-localizes with WAVE1 in the mitochondrial sheath (insets in C00 and C000). A, A0 and A000 show tubulin in red. Insets in A, A0, A00 and A000 show negative controls after the omission of the primary antibody. Insets in C, C0, C00 and C000 show RAC1 (red) and WAVE1 (green).

Figure Lengend Snippet: FIG. 5. Rac1 and Cdc42 protein expression influences IEC-6 cell migration. A, cells transfected with vector (pMX-IRES-GFP), con- stitutively active (CA) Rac1 and Cdc42, and dominant negative (DN) Rac1 and Cdc42 were grown in DMEM, 5% FBS for 4 days. Confluent monolayers were wounded with a gel-loading tip in the center of plates marked to localize the wound site. Plates were photographed immedi- ately to record the wound width (0 h), washed, and incubated with fresh serum free medium. Plates were photographed at the marked wound location after 10 h of incubation. A plate containing vector cells at 0 and 10 h is shown as a representative control.

FIG. 7. Polyamine depletion does not alter Rac1 and Cdc42 activation in constitutively active (V12) Rac and (F28L) Cdc42 cells but inhibits Rac1 activation in vector (pMX-IRES-GFP)- transfected IEC-6 cells. Extracts of control cells (C) and those grown in DFMO (D) or DFMO plus putrescine (DP) for 4 days were subjected to the GST-PAK pull down assay described “Experimental Procedures.” Extracts of vector-transfected cells were also preincubated with GTPS for 15 min before the addition of GST-PAK for the pull-down assay. 25 g of total protein was used to determine total Rac1 and Cdc42 protein. Western blot analysis was performed using Rac1- and Cdc42-specific antibodies to determine the levels of activated and total Rac1 and Cdc42 proteins. Representative Western blots and densitometry readings from three observations are shown.

FIG. 8. Constitutively active Rac1 prevents the effects of polyamine de- pletion on the F-actin cytoskeleton of IEC-6 cells. Vector (pMX-IRES-GFP) and constitutively active (V12) Rac1- transfected cells were grown for 4 days as described earlier and replated in 35-mm dishes (each containing a matrigel-coated glass coverslip). Cells were allowed to at- tach and spread for 24 h in control and DFMO- and DFMO plus putrescine (Put)- containing medium. Cells were washed, fixed, and stained with Texas Red phal- loidin for the localization of F-actin. Rep- resentatives of three experiments are shown.
