1. Structural basis for mutations in human AQP8 associated with colorectal cancer has been described. PMID:29799470
2. Aquaporin 8 expression is regulated by cholesterol in hepatic cells PMID:28322010
3. The control of AQP8-mediated H2O2 transport provides a novel mechanism to regulate cell signaling and survival during stress. PMID:26972385
4. In particular, AQP8 affected VEGF-induced redox signaling by increasing the sulfenation of the tumor suppressor PTEN, which resulted in its inactivation and, in turn, caused Akt activation. PMID:27862460
5. Aquaporins AQP3, -7, -8, and -11 proteins were found in sperm cells and localized in the head (AQP7), in the middle piece (AQP8) and in the tail (AQP3 and -11) in both the plasma membrane and in intracellular structures. PMID:28042826
6. No significant relationship was found between gallbladder mucosa aquaporin expression and the presence or absence of gallbladder stones. PMID:26707370
7. AQP6 and AQP8 had different expression degrees in epithelial ovarian tissues, which suggests that AQP6 and AQP8 may play certain roles in epithelial ovarian tumors. PMID:26779650
8. EGF induces AQP8 expression and cell migration in Eca-109 cells via the EGFR/Erk1/2 signal transduction pathway. PMID:25550802
9. increased AQP8, Erk1/2 and phosphorylated-Erk1/2 expression may play a role in transformation of cervical intraepithelila neoplasia into cervical cancer, and in early invasion and lymphatic metastasis of cervical cancer PMID:25120769
10. mtAQP8 knockdown induces necrotic cell death in human neoplastic hepatic cells, a finding that might be relevant to therapeutic strategies against hepatoma cells. PMID:24415197
11. AQP8 and its relationship with miRNAs may be involved in the pathogenesis of Ulcerative colitis (UC). PMID:23595390
12. AQP8 has a role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. PMID:23953589
13. the results here reported indicate that AQP8 is able to modulate H2O2 transport through the plasma membrane affecting redox signalling linked to leukaemia cell proliferation PMID:24440277
14. High Aquaporin 8 expression is associated with invasion of cervical cancer. PMID:23679281
15. The expression levels and immunoreactive score of AQP8 protein and mRNA increased in low-grade astrocytomas, and further increased in high-grade astrocytomas, especially in glioblastoma. PMID:24055034
16. AQP8 expression significantly increased in advanced stage of cervical cancer, deeper infiltration, metastatic lymph nodes and larger tumor volume. PMID:22901156
17. Reconstitution of water channel function and 2D-crystallization of human aquaporin 8. PMID:22192778
18. With the increase of cAMP, AQP8 mRNA and protein expressions significantly increased in WISH cells in vitro. PMID:19087520
19. The expression of AQP8 protein is positively correlated with bcl-2 protein in human cervical carcinoma. PMID:18788571
20. The expression of AQP8 mRNA and protein is significantly increased in the amnion and placenta of polyhydramnios, suggesting that AQP8 may play an important role in the regulation of amniotic fluid volume. PMID:19563057
21. When polyhydramnios occurs, expression of aquaporin 8 and aquaporin 9 in fetal membranes and placenta is an adaptive change. PMID:20732771
22. Data show that AQP-1, 3, 8, 9 mRNA expression was detected in both amnion and chorion and can be associated with intramembranous transport and volume regulation of amniotic fluid. PMID:17545093
23. Aquaporin 8 has a role in intramembranous water transport and the balance of amniotic fluid. PMID:20144166
24. Aquaporin 8 is expressed in colonic epithelial cells but was not detected in colorectal tumors. PMID:11231887
25. expression of aquaporin 8 water channel in and up-regulation by second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate. Aquaporin 8 messenger RNA has relatively short biologic half-life in vitro. PMID:12712100
26. Upregulation of AQP8 in the colon of ulcerative colitis patients represents a secondary phenomenon which may disturb the physiologic colonic mucus barrier and thus lead to chronic inflammation and ulceration. PMID:17461471
27. Knockdown of hepatocyte aquaporin-8 by RNA interference induces defective bile canalicular water transport. PMID:18948439
28. The crystal structure of deoxyhemoglobin S, 2HBS, demonstrates the interaction of the mutant valine with another hemoglobin tetramer and provides insights into formation of the intracellular sickle cell fiber. PMID:9325099
