Akt3

[Autoimmunity] Cerulean and LPS was used to establish a rat model and an in vitro model of severe acute pancreatitis. qRT-PCR, western blot and IHC were determined to analyse the expression of mRNA and proteins. IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 levels were measured applying ELISA.

[Oncogene] A functional effect of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR)-Gamma on AKT serine/threonine kinase 3 (AKT3), which ultimately results in a more aggressive disease phenotype was identified.

[Cell Death Discovery] Researchers found that CASC9 was significantly upregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues and cell lines compared to normal controls and that aberrant expression was associated with the tumor-node-metastasis stage of CRC.

[Molecular Biology Reports] Scientists investigated the effect of cellular retinol binding protein-1 (CRBP-1) transfection in the H460 human non-small cell lung cancer cell line, normally not expressing CRBP-1.
