Deng M, Tufan T, Raza M, Jones T, Zhu M
J Neurochem . 2016 Aug; 139(2):197-207. PMID: 27501468
MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that provide global regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Such regulation has been found to play a role in stress-induced epigenetic responses in...

Huang J, Tufan T, Deng M, Wright G, Zhu M
J Neurochem . 2015 Jul; 135(1):38-49. PMID: 26212818
Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) has been implicated to act as a neurotransmitter or modulator in central nervous activation during stress. In this study, we examined the regulatory effect of CRF...

Deng M, Boopathi E, Hypolite J, Raabe T, Chang S, Zderic S, et al.
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol . 2013 Aug; 305(10):F1455-65. PMID: 23986516
Caldesmon (CaD), a component of smooth muscle thin filaments, binds actin, tropomyosin, calmodulin, and myosin and inhibits actin-activated ATP hydrolysis by smooth muscle myosin. Internal deletions of the chicken CaD...

Liu Q, Chen X, Yang G, Min X, Deng M
Biocell . 2012 Mar; 35(3):71-9. PMID: 22423483
Apigenin, a nonmutagenic flavonoid, has been shown to possess free radical scavenging activities, anticarcinogenic properties, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Recently, apigenin was reported to cause gastric relaxation in murine. To...

Deng M, Ding W, Min X, Xia Y
Cytoskeleton (Hoboken) . 2010 Aug; 68(3):139-49. PMID: 20722044
Myosins are a superfamily of actin-based molecular motor proteins, which hydrolyze ATP and generate various forms of eukaryotic motility and muscle contraction. Myosin light chain 20 (MLC20) is small ring...

Polyak E, Boopathi E, Mohanan S, Deng M, Zderic S, Wein A, et al.
J Urol . 2009 Sep; 182(5):2497-503. PMID: 19765744
Purpose: Partial bladder outlet obstruction in male rabbits causes detrusor smooth muscle hypertrophy and voiding dysfunction similar to that observed in men with benign prostate hyperplasia. Using this model, we...

Deng M, Mohanan S, Polyak E, Chacko S
Cell Motil Cytoskeleton . 2007 Sep; 64(12):951-65. PMID: 17868135
Caldesmon (CaD), a component of microfilaments in all cells and thin filaments in smooth muscle cells, is known to bind to actin, tropomyosin, calmodulin, and myosin and to inhibit actin-activated...

Deng M, Chen W, Takatori A, Peng Z, Zhang L, Mongan M, et al.
Mol Biol Cell . 2006 Jun; 17(8):3446-55. PMID: 16760432
The mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) kinase 1 (MEKK1) mediates activin B signals required for eyelid epithelium morphogenesis during mouse fetal development. The present study investigates the role of MEKK1...

Zhang L, Deng M, Parthasarathy R, Wang L, Mongan M, Molkentin J, et al.
Mol Cell Biol . 2004 Dec; 25(1):60-5. PMID: 15601830
Activins and other members of the transforming growth factor beta family play a critical role in morphological changes of the epidermis that require epithelial cell movement. We investigated the molecular...

Mol Vis . 2003 Nov; 9:584-93. PMID: 14627958
Purpose: To study the in vivo role of MEK kinase 1 (MEKK1) in corneal development. Methods: Wild type and Mekk1DeltaKD/DeltaKD mice eye tissues were examined by staining with hematoxylin and...
