Phospholipase Cgamma1 (PLCgamma1) plays an important role in controlling cellular proliferation and differentiation. PLCgamma1 is overexpressed in some tumors, and its overexpression induces solid tumors in nude mice. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying PLCgamma1-induced cell proliferation are not fully understood. Here we show that overexpression of PLCgamma1 highly phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta) at serine-9 in 3Y1 fibroblasts. Inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC)s with GF109203X abrogated GSK-3beta phosphorylation by PLCgamma1. We also found that steady-state level of cyclin D1 protein, but not cyclin D1 mRNA, was highly elevated in response to serum stimulation in PLCgamma1-transfected cells as compared with vector-transfected cells. Since GSK-3beta is involved in cyclin D1 proteolysis in response to mitogenic stimulation, PLCgamma1-mediated GSK-3beta phosphorylation may function as a regulation of cyclin D1 accumulation in PLCgamma1-overexpressing cells.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a serious neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction, language, and communication and induction of stereotypic behavior. In rodents, prenatal administration of valproic acid (often on 12.5 gestational days) is used for the induction of an ASD-like model.

Due to the intensification of human activities, the ecosystems are being polluted by heavy metals. The pollution of heavy metals in agricultural systems has become a serious issue of global concern. This study detected the bioaccumulation of cadmium (Cd) in broad beans and aphids through continuous exposure to varying concentrations of Cd pollution (0, 3.

In the present study, we investigated the possible correlation between insulin/ecdysone signaling and chilling-induced egg diapause termination in . Changes in () and () gene expression levels in chilled eggs (whose diapause had been terminated by chilling to 5 °C for 90 days) exhibited no significant increase after being transferred to 25 °C, which differed from both non-diapause eggs and HCl-treated eggs. We further compared the differential temporal expressions of (, -, and ), ( and ), and ( () and ()) as well as () genes between chilled eggs and eggs kept at 25 °C.

Background/objectives: Diabetes mellitus (DM), a widespread endocrine disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, can cause nerve damage and increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Effective blood glucose management is essential, and sitagliptin (SITG), a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 () inhibitor, may offer neuroprotective benefits in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: T2DM was induced in rats using nicotinamide (NICO) and streptozotocin (STZ), and biomarkers of AD and DM-linked enzymes, inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis were evaluated in the brain.

Cognitive impairment is a significant complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the mechanisms underlying the development of cognitive dysfunction in individuals with T2DM remain elusive. Herein, we discussed the role of Bmal1, a core circadian rhythm-regulating gene, in the process of T2DM-associated cognitive dysfunction.
