Abstract

Tesis Doctoral presentada por Maysa Ahmed Abd El-Hamid Mobasher en el Departamento de Bioquímica de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid para optar al grado de Doctor, y realizada en el Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas "Alberto Sols" (CSIC-IIBM).[EN]: Acute hepatic failure secondary to acetaminophen (APAP) poisoning is associated with high mortality. PTP1B is a negative regulator of tyrosine kinase growth factor signaling. In the liver, this pathway confers protection against injury. However, the involvement of PTP1B in the intracellular networks activated by APAP is unknown. We have assessed PTP1B expression in APAP-induced liver failure in humans and its role in the molecular mechanisms that regulate the balance between cell death and...
