Biochem Biophys Res Commun 379:876-81. 2009..The results indicate that LAS-0811 protects VL-17A cells against ethanol-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis at least in part via nrf2 activation...
Role of MAPK phosphatase-1 in sustained activation of JNK during ethanol-induced apoptosis in hepatocyte-like VL-17A cellsSenthil K Venugopal
Department of Internal Medicine, Transplant Research Program, UC Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, California 95817, USA
J Biol Chem 282:31900-8. 2007..Ethanol-induced oxidative stress enhanced the tyrosine phosphorylation of PKCdelta, which in turn caused the proteasomal degradation of MKP-1, leading to sustained JNK activation and increased apoptosis in VL-17A cells...
C-reactive protein: risk marker or mediator in atherothrombosis?Ishwarlal Jialal
Laboratory for Atherosclerosis and Metabolic Research, UC Davis Medical Center, 4635 Second Ave, Res 1 Bldg, Rm 3000, Sacramento, Calif 95817, USA
Hypertension 44:6-11. 2004..In conclusion, CRP is a risk marker for cardiovascular disease and, based on future studies, could emerge as a mediator in atherogenesis...
miRNA regulation of liver growth after 50% partial hepatectomy and small size grafts in ratsXiaoli Chen

Delivery of antioxidative enzyme genes protects against ischemia/reperfusion-induced liver injury in miceSong-qing He
Transplant Research Institute, University of California, Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
Liver Transpl 12:1869-79. 2006..The protection is directly associated with elevated antioxidative enzyme activity as the result of the gene delivery. This novel approach may become a potential therapy to improve graft function and survival after liver transplantation...
