Example sentences for: activation

How can you use “activation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Because embryonic genome activation of bovine embryos occurs between the 8- to 16-cell stages [ 21], preactivated recipients may not reprogram somatic nuclei.

  • Indeed, treatment of the macrophages with the proteasome inhibitor MG132, which prevents NF-κB activation [33], abrogated endotoxin-induced activation of resistin expression (data not shown).

  • Ca ++fluxes indicate additional mechanisms downstream of the receptor, including second messenger activation.

  • SMAD4 (DPC4) is essential for this TGFβ 1 signaling and transcriptional activation process [ 16 ] . In epithelial cells, TGFβ 1 decreases c-myc, cdc2 and cyclin D1 expression, and it increases the expression of c-jun and c-fos [ 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 ] . Activation of the TGFβ 1 signal pathway in epithelial cells leads to an increased expression of the cell cycle inhibitors p21 WAF1and p15 Ink4band to a release of formerly sequestered p27 KIP [ 24 25 26 ] . It is assumed that the cooperative action of these cell cycle inhibitors results in the growth arrest mentioned above, although p15 Ink4bdoes not seem to be necessary in this regard.

  • In comparison to the two general alternative mechanisms utilized by known transforming viruses to promote cell-cycle progression, namely, by activating or bypassing endogenous D-type cyclins (herein, referred to as "cyclin D"), it has not been established whether HIV-1 gene products trigger either cyclin D-dependent or cyclin D-independent proliferation in non-lymphoid tissues [ 15 ] . In infected renal epithelium, HIV-1 could disrupt the inhibitory binding of pRb to E2F independent of endogenous cyclin D, analogous to transforming viral mechanisms that bypass and down-regulate endogenous cyclin D, such as SV-40 T antigen binding to pRb [ 16 ] , HHV-8 v -cyclin binding to and activating cyclin-dependent kinase-6 (CDK) [ 17 ] , and activation of cyclin E by EBV-induced c -myc [ 18 ] . Alternatively, HIV-1 could activate cyclin D-dependent proliferation, as exemplified by RSV v -src-mediated signaling [ 19 ] . In most tissues, the selective activation of these cell-cycle pathways is readily discernable.
