Influence of RRM, RGG and Potential Phosphorylated Sites in Cold-Inducible Protein RBM3 on its Subcellular Localization and Neuroprotective Effects.

Background: As a potent mediator of hypothermic neuroprotection, the cold-inducible protein RBM3 is characterized with one RNA-recognition motifs (RRM) and one arginine-glycine-rich (RGG) domain. It is known that these conserved domains are required for nuclear localization in some RNA-binding proteins. However, little is known about the actual role of RRM and RGG domains in subcellular localization of RBM3.

Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule Regulates Osteoblastic Differentiation Through Wnt/β-Catenin and PI3K-Akt Signaling Pathways in MC3T3-E1 Cells.

Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is involved in cell multi-directional differentiation, but its role in osteoblast differentiation is still poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated whether and how NCAM regulates osteoblastic differentiation. We found that NCAM silencing inhibited osteoblast differentiation in pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells.
