Characterization of ret proto-oncogene mRNAs encoding two isoforms of the protein product in a human neuroblastoma cell line.
The ret proto-oncogene expresses four major mRNA species of different lengths in human malignant cell lines and rat tissues. We isolated ret proto-oncogene cDNA clones from a cDNA library of a human… Expand

Detection of the PTC/retTPC oncogene in human thyroid cancers.
We have investigated the PTC/retTPC oncogene, an activated form of ret proto-oncogene with a specific rearrangement, in thyroid malignancies. Southern analysis was used to screen 36 thyroid papillary… Expand

Human ret proto-oncogene mapped to chromosome 10q11.2.
Using cosmid clones derived from human ret protooncogene as probes, we determined its chromosome localization by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Two overlapping clones, cret-1 and -2, which were… Expand

Outside-to-Inside Signal Through the Membrane TNF-α Induces E-Selectin (CD62E) Expression on Activated Human CD4+ T Cells1
The membrane TNF-α is known to serve as a precursor of the soluble form of TNF-α. Although it has been reported the biological functions of the membrane TNF-α as a ligand, the outside-to-inside… Expand

Expression of proto-ret mRNA in embryonic and adult rat tissues.
The expression of proto-ret mRNA in adult and embryonic rat tissues were studied. Very low levels of proto-ret transcripts were found in adult rat tissues such as brain, thymus and testis. The sizes… Expand

Expression of the ret proto-oncogene in human neuroblastoma cell lines and its increase during neuronal differentiation induced by retinoic acid.
Previously we observed specific expression of the ret proto-oncogene (proto-ret) in human neuroblastoma cell lines. A neuronal subline and non-neuronal sublines were isolated from the SK-N-SH cell… Expand

Identification and analysis of the ret proto-oncogene promoter region in neuroblastoma cell lines and medullary thyroid carcinomas from MEN2A patients.
The human ret proto-oncogene (proto-ret), encoding a receptor tyrosine kinase, is highly expressed in neuroblastomas, medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTCs) and pheochromocytomas, which are all tumors… Expand

Presence of Aberrant Transcripts of ret Proto‐oncogene in a Human Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Cell Line
In a papillary thyroid carcinoma cell line, TPC‐1, we found transcripts hybridizing to ret proto‐oncogene (proto‐ret) cDNA probes. The transcripts hybridized to the probes encoding the kinase domain… Expand

Nakahara memorial lecture. New classes of tumor promoters: teleocidin, aplysiatoxin, and palytoxin.
Teleocidin and aplysiatoxin, which are structurally different from 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), were found to be potent tumor promoters in two-step mouse skin carcinogenesis. The class… Expand

Structure of the c-Ki-ras gene in a rat fibrosarcoma induced by 1,8-dinitropyrene.
Restriction enzyme maps were made of the region around exons 1 and 2 of activated c-Ki-ras of a fibrosarcoma (1,8-DNP2) induced in a rat by 1,8-dinitropyrene. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed… Expand
