The heat shock response maintains cellular homeostasis following sublethal injury. Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are induced by thermal, oxyradical, and inflammatory stress, and they chaperone denatured… Expand
Dickkopf Homologs in Squamous Mucosa of Esophagitis Patients Are Overexpressed Compared with Barrett's Patients and Healthy Controls
OBJECTIVES:Esophageal mucosal response to acid exposure varies from minimal changes to erosions/ulcerations and Barrett's metaplasia. While differences in acid contact time have been suggested, the… Expand
Selective modulation of PKC isozymes by inflammation in canine colonic circular muscle cells.
BACKGROUND & AIMS
Protein kinase C (PKC) is a key signaling molecule in excitation-contraction coupling in several types of smooth muscle cells. We investigated whether the attenuated contraction in… Expand

Resveratrol enhances mitomycin C-mediated suppression of human colorectal cancer cell proliferation by up-regulation of p21WAF1/CIP1.
BACKGROUND/AIM
Studies have shown that natural products could potentially be employed in combination therapies to decrease toxicity to healthy tissues by chemotherapy drugs. No studies however, have… Expand
