Selective estrogen receptor modulators inhibit hepatitis C virus infection at multiple steps of the virus life cycleYuko Murakami
Department of Bioactive Molecules, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Toyama 1 23 1, Shinjuku ku, Tokyo 162 8640, Japan
Microbes Infect 15:45-55. 2013..Taken together, SERMs seemed to target multiple steps of HCV viral life cycle: attachment, entry, replication, and post replication events. SERMs may be potential candidates for the treatment of HCV infection...
Identification of bisindolylmaleimides and indolocarbazoles as inhibitors of HCV replication by tube-capture-RT-PCRYuko Murakami
Department of Bioactive Molecules, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Shinjuku ku, Tokyo, Japan
Antiviral Res 83:112-7. 2009..These series of compounds represent new classes of inhibitors that may warrant further development...
Nucleolar Nek11 is a novel target of Nek2A in G1/S-arrested cellsKohji Noguchi
Department of Bioactive Molecules, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, 1 23 1 Toyama, Shinjuku ku, Tokyo 162 8640, Japan
J Biol Chem 279:32716-27. 2004..Nek2 dissociated this autoinhibitory interaction. Altogether, our studies demonstrate a unique mechanism of Nek11 activation by Nek2A in G(1)/S-arrested cells and suggest a novel possibility for nucleolar function of the NIMA family...
BimEL is an important determinant for induction of anoikis sensitivity by mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase inhibitorsHidesuke Fukazawa
Department of Bioactive Molecules, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, 1 23 1 Toyama, Shinjuku ku, Tokyo 162 8640, Japan
Mol Cancer Ther 3:1281-8. 2004..We conclude that MEK inhibitors sensitize MDA-MB231 and HBC4 cells to anoikis by blocking phosphorylation and hence degradation of BimEL, a mechanism that these cells depend on to escape anoikis...
Ets-1-dependent expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors is activated by latency-associated nuclear antigen of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus through interaction with DaxxYuko Murakami
Department of Bioactive Molecules, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Tokyo 162, Japan
J Biol Chem 281:28113-21. 2006..These results suggested that LANA contributes to a high expression of VEGF receptors in KS lesion by interfering with the interaction between Daxx and Ets-1...
Mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitors restore anoikis sensitivity in human breast cancer cell lines with a constitutively activated extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) pathwayHidesuke Fukazawa
Department of Bioactive Molecules, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Tokyo 162 8640, Japan
Mol Cancer Ther 1:303-9. 2002..Inhibitors of MEK-ERK and mTOR-p70(S6K) pathways may provide a therapeutic strategy to selectively target neoplasms proliferating at ectopic locations, with acceptable effects on normal cells in their proper tissue context...
A cell-based, microplate colorimetric screen identifies 7,8-benzoflavone and green tea gallate catechins as inhibitors of the hepatitis C virusHidesuke Fukazawa
Department of Bioactive Molecules, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Tokyo, Japan
Biol Pharm Bull 35:1320-7. 2012..This assay is simple, reliable and cost-effective; does not require any specially engineered cell lines or viruses; and should be useful in the identification of compounds with anti-HCV activity...
Gamma-herpesviruses and cellular signaling in AIDS-associated malignanciesKohji Noguchi
Department of Bioactive Molecules, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, 1 23 1 Toyama, Shinjuku ku, Tokyo 162 8640, Japan
Cancer Sci 98:1288-96. 2007..The present review gives a simple outline of the functional interactions between KSHV- and EBV-viral gene products and host cell deregulated signaling pathways as possible targets of chemotherapy against AIDS-related malignancies...
[Screening of protein kinase inhibitors]Yoshimasa Uehara
National Institute of Infectious Diseases, 1-23-1 Toyama, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 162-8640, Japan
Gan To Kagaku Ryoho 31:491-4. 2004..Here, we briefly described some of the protein kinase inhibitors that have been approved or are under clinical development, and present some novel inhibitors that were found in our screening system...
Nek11, a new member of the NIMA family of kinases, involved in DNA replication and genotoxic stress responsesKohji Noguchi
Department of Bioactive Molecules, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, 1 23 1 Toyama, Shinjuku ku, Tokyo 162 8640, Japan
J Biol Chem 277:39655-65. 2002..Collectively, these results suggest that Nek11 has a role in the S-phase checkpoint downstream of the caffeine-sensitive pathway...
Anti-Candida-biofilm activity of micafungin is attenuated by voriconazole but restored by pharmacological inhibition of Hsp90-related stress responsesYukihiro Kaneko
Department of Chemotherapy and Mycosis, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Tokyo, Japan
Med Mycol 48:606-12. 2010..Our results may provide clues as to the mechanism of increased drug resistance in Candida biofilms and raises concerns about the use of the voriconazole-micafungin combination in clinical settings...
Clinical features of insulin-like growth factor-II producing non-islet-cell tumor hypoglycemiaIzumi Fukuda
Department of Medicine, Institute of Clinical Endocrinology, Tokyo Women's Medical University, Tokyo, Japan
Growth Horm IGF Res 16:211-6. 2006..The BMI (21.4+/-0.6 kg/m2) and serum total protein levels (6.6+/-0.1g/dl) were preserved at the occurrence of first hypoglycemic attack suggesting that malnutrition might not be the main cause of hypoglycemia in most patients...
A mammalian two-hybrid screening system for inhibitors of interaction between HIV Nef and the cellular tyrosine kinase HckYuko Murakami
Department of Bioactive Molecules, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, 1 23 1, Toyama, Shinjuku ku, 162 8640, Tokyo, Japan
Antiviral Res 55:161-8. 2002..Using the second system, we found that adriamycin interfered with the Nef-Hck interaction by reducing the amount of the Hck protein. The mammalian two-hybrid system may show utility in screening inhibitors of Nef-Hck interaction...
