Are there any considerations when adding protease inhibitors to the CER I and NER Reagents?
EDTA-free Halt Protease and/or Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktails (e.g., Cat. No. 78425) can be added to CER I and NER reagents. Most commercially available protease inhibitor cocktails are also compatible; however, avoid protease inhibitors that contain alcohols. Because the concentration of the CER I and NER Reagents are critical, do not dilute these reagents by more than 5% when adding protease inhibitors.
Is the final soluble nuclear fraction dialyzable when using the NE-PER Extraction reagents?
Yes. The nuclear fraction can be dialyzed in a Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Unit (Cat. No. 69550) against a buffer, such as PBS, that is compatible with the specific downstream application. A buffer exchange can also be performed using the Thermo Scientific Protein Desalting Spin Columns (Cat. No. 89849) or Zeba Desalt Spin Columns (Cat. No. 89882).
Human bile salt export pump promoter is transactivated by the farnesoid X receptor/bile acid receptor.

'The bile salt excretory pump (BSEP, ABCb11) is critical for ATP-dependent transport of bile acids across the hepatocyte canalicular membrane and for generation of bile acid-dependent bile secretion. Recent studies have demonstrated that the expression of this transporter is sensitive to the flux of bile acids through the hepatocyte, possibly ... More
Radiation-induced epidermal growth factor receptor nuclear import is linked to activation of DNA-dependent protein kinase.

PubMed ID:16000298
Ionizing radiation, but not stimulation with epidermal growth factor (EGF), triggers EGF receptor (EGFR) import into the nucleus in a probably karyopherin alpha-linked manner. An increase in nuclear EGFR is also observed after treatment with H2O2, heat, or cisplatin. During, this process, the proteins Ku70/80 and the protein phosphatase 1 ... More
Curcumin interrupts the interaction between the androgen receptor and Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway in LNCaP prostate cancer cells.
Authors:Choi HY, Lim JE, Hong JH

PubMed ID:20680030
Recently, studies have investigated the significance of the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway in prostate cancer. The transcriptional activity of the androgen receptor (AR) is modulated by interaction with coregulators, one of which is ß-catenin. Curcumin, a dietary yellow pigment of Curcuma longa, has emerged as having a chemopreventive role. Although curcumin has ... More
