Example sentences for: mitogenic
How can you use “mitogenic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Although several laboratories reported that crosslinking CD5 on the surface augments T cells signaling by inducing calcium flux and enhancing mitogenic response [ 14, 15, 16], recent studies using CD5-deficient mice indicate that CD5 may be more important as a negative modulator of TCR and BCR signal transduction [ 17, 18].
Instead, it appeared that the initial activation of cellular competence triggered by the mitogenic lectins was amplified by the LAF activity, which became known later as IL-1, and led to the secretion of the lymphocyte-derived IL-2 and the expression of IL-2Rs [ 14 15 ] . The subsequent interaction of IL-2 with the IL-2Rs then stimulated blastic transformation and progression through G 1 and into the S phase of the cell cycle, followed by mitosis [ 16 ] . Furthermore, detailed studies indicated that successful activation of the IL-2R is a quantal (i.e.
Infection of cultured podocytes with replication incompetent HIV-1 demonstrated that HIV-1 gene expression leads to the proliferation and dedifferentiation of the infected podocytes [ 6 7 8 ] , recapitulating the phenotypes observed in HIVAN specimens [ 9 10 ] . Similarly, renal expression of replication incompetent HIV-1 proviral transgenes in mice and rats produces a proliferative renal lesion that is indistiguisable both histopathologically and clinically from human HIVAN [ 11 12 13 14 ] . These observations raise the possibility that HIV-1 gene products may interact with mitogenic pathways in infected renal epithelium to cause aberrant cell-cycle engagement.
It has been shown that BRCA1 is induced as a result of the mitogenic activity of the estrogen receptor in estrogen receptor-positive cells [ 9, 10].
eIF4E gene transcription is enhanced in response to mitogenic stimulation and may be mediated by c-myc [ 3 ] . Phosphorylation of eIF4E by the protein kinase Mnk1 increases its affinity for the cap, and thus increases cap-dependent initiation of translation [ 4 5 6 ] . An inhibitor of eIF4E, 4E binding protein (4EBP), is also regulated by phosphorylation.
