Defect in serine 46 phosphorylation of p53 contributes to acquisition of p53 resistance in oral squamous cell carcinoma cells by Arief Ichwan, Solachuddin Jauhari, Shumpei, Yamada, Piyamas, Sumrejkanchanakij, Elza, Ibrahim-Auerkari, K, Eto, Ikeda, Masa-Aki

“…To investigate whether dysregulation of p53 phosphorylation confers tumor resistance to p53, we analysed the effects of wild-type p53 on oral squamous cell carcinoma(SCC) cell lines carrying various mutations of p53. Introduction of exogenous p53 neither induced apoptosis nor suppressed colony formation in HSC-3 cells lacking any detectable p53 and HSC-4 cells expressing mutant p53R248Q protein. …”

The role of polyamines in growth inhibition induced by Momordica charantia and Gynura procumbens in human lung adenocarcinoma cells, A549 by AhmadSujangi, Nurhikmah, Abdullah, Nor Zamzila, Abdul Ghani, Radiah

“…Hence, this research aimed to determine the polyamine content of selected local plants, Momordica charantia and Gynura procumbens, by using High Performance Liquid Chromatographic (HPLC) analysis as well as conducting cytotoxicity study and growth inhibition study of the plant extracts against the human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cell lines, A549. The polyamine content of M. charantia was found to be high (more than 200 nmol/g/mol) while G. procumbens contained low level of polyamine (less than 100 nmol/g/ml). …”

Business cycles, interest rates and market volatility : estimation and forecasting using DSGE macroeconomic models under partial information by Perendija, Djordje V.

“…Consequently, the first part of this research project was aiming to improve the DSGE econometric methods by introducing novel solution for DSGE models with imperfect, partial information about the current values of deep variables and shocks, and apply this solution to imperfectly informed multiple agents with their different, inner-rationality models. Along these lines, this research also shows that DSGE models can be extended and suited to both, fitting and estimation of long-term yield curve, and to estimating with rich data sets by extending further its inner-mechanism. …”
