Study of the differential compartmentation and functions of hexokinase isoforms and implications for cancer metabolism
… glycolytic phenotype is hexokinase 2 isoform (HK2), which is significantly overexpressed in many tumors but not in normal adult tissue. Several small molecule inhibitors targeting HK have exhibited promising anticancer activity. However, these small molecule inhibitors cannot differentiate …

Stress response genes in the human proximal tubules
… this study was to determine if the immortalized HK-2 human proximal tubule cell line could provide a model system to study the stress response of the proximal tubule cell. Heat stress, elevated temperature at 42.5°C for 1 hr, caused a marked increase only in hsp 70 mRNA and protein, but not …

The Construction and Applications of Modular Equations
We introduce also two parametrizations hk,n and h'k,n of the theta-function 4q . For q=e2piz , Im z > 0, define 4q : =fq,q=n =-infinityinfinityqn2 =:q30,2z , where q3 is classical theta function. For any positive real numbers n and k, define hk,n=4e-p n/k k1/44e-p nk=q 30,-n/k k1/4q30, -nk and …

Probiotic Modulation of Mucosal Immune Responses in an In Vitro Co-Culture Model
… effects of a panel of heat-killed (HK) probiotic bacteria and their secreted proteins (SP) of Bifidobacterium breve (BB), Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LR), L. salivarius (LS), L. plantarum (LP), L. ferrmentum (LF), and L. casei strain Shirota (LcS) on cytokine production and TLR …

Investigation of dendritic cells as a vector for vaccine delivery
… DC were pulsed with heat-killed (HK) whole cell <i>B. pseudomallei</i> and used to immunise syngeneic mice. The use of this immunisation method elicited strong cellular immune responses against <i>B. pseudomallei</i>, which have historically been difficult to generate. Antibody …

From indigenous to colonised: the recruitment practice of the British colonial administration in Hong Kong, 1845 – 1932
… recruiting practice of the British Hong Kong (HK) Colonial Government before the Japanese occupation (from 1845 to 1932), as well as its corresponding influencing factors. By understanding the HK Government’s dynamic attitude towards different nationalities, the work discusses the national …

The regulation of secondary metabolism from Tolypocladium inflatum, a study on strain improvement in cyclosporin A productivity and its relation to growth and glucose metabolism
… Coarse control of the enzymes hexokinase (HK), phosphofructokinase (PFK) and pyruvate kinase (PK) in cell-free extracts of 'T. inflatum' was investigated. Decreased activities of HK, PFK and PK activity was observed in higher cyclosporin A-producing strains with probabilities of …

Computing Exact Bottleneck Distance on Random Point Sets
… One can use the classical Hopcroft-Karp (HK-) Algorithm to find the bottleneck matching. In this thesis, we consider the case where A and B are points that are generated uniformly at random from a unit square. Instead of the classical HK-Algorithm, we implement and empirically analyze a …

Digital Transmission by Hermite N-Dimensional Antipodal Scheme
… both modulations are identical. Hermite Keying (HK), the FM modulation version of the N-dimensional Hermite transmission, outperforms constant envelope FSK in terms of spectrum efficiency. With a simple FM detector, the bit error rate of HK is as good as that of non-coherent FSK. In a frequency …

Structural Studies of the Bacterial Histidine Kinases RetS and GacS, Key Components of the Multikinase Network that Controls the Switch Between a Motile Invasive Lifestyle and a Sessile Biofilm Lifestyle in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
… means of signal transduction. Histidine kinase (HK) and response regulator (RR) proteins comprise these TCSs and phosphorelays. Previously, signal transduction within TCSs and phosphorelays was thought to only occur through a linear series of phosphotransfers between HKs and RRs. Recently …

ROLE OF LYSOPHOSPHATIDIC ACID IN REGULATION OF CANCER CELL METABOLISM
… treatment dramatically upregulated expression of HK-2, one of the rate-limiting glycolytic enzymes. We explored the underlying mechanism and found that LPA activates HK-2 transcription through LPA2-mediated activation of SREBP-1. Two sterol regulator elements (SREs) on the human HK-2 promoter were …
