  • Publication number: 20150276761
    Abstract: Hypoxia induced mitogenic factor (HIMF) is a member of the “found in inflammatory zone” (FIZZ)/resistin family of proteins and has potent mitogenic, angiogenic, and vasoconstrictive effects in the lung vasculature. The receptor/binding partners for this family of proteins have been largely unknown. We identified Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) as a functional HIMF binding partner through GST-HIMF pull-downs and mass spectrometry. Using primary cultured HIMF-stimulated murine bone marrow cells, we demonstrated that BTK was recruited to the leading edge of the cells. We also demonstrated that BTK and the closely related tyrosine kinase Fyn, colocalized at the growth cone process in these cells. HIMF stimulation induced BTK autophosphorylation, which peaked at 2.5 minutes. A transwell migration assay showed that treatment with recombinant murine HIMF induced migration of primary cultured bone marrow cells, which was completely blocked by the BTK inhibitor, LFM-A13.

  • Patent number: 9095289
    Abstract: The present invention is a device for aiming a dental x-ray beam to be centered parallel to the area of contact between two adjacent teeth so that the resultant bite wing radiographic image is one that shows at least those two teeth as distinct and not superimposed images. The device, comprising a marginal ridge angulation locator that indexes into the substantially v-shaped groove on the biting surfaces between two adjacent teeth, locates and indicates an aiming vector centered over and parallel to the area of contact between those two teeth for the purpose of aiming an x-ray beam then exposing the radiographic image desired.
