  Increasing evidence has shown that blockade of glutamate uptake leads to aberrant behavioral consequences. For example, intracerebroventricular (i.c.v) injection or microinjection of the GLT-1 inhibitor, dihydrokainic MHC class II antigen (45-57) [Homo sapiens] australia (DHK), into the prefrontal

  Shikonin represents naphtoquinonic compound isolated from the Chinese plant Lithospermum erythrorhizon[20]. Shikonin treatment inhibits AKT and ERK signaling pathways and induces apoptosis through FOXO transcription factors and mitochondrial pathway [21], [22]. Recent results suggest inhibition of l

• GKRP binds to the inactive super open conformation

  2021-12-13

  

  GKRP binds to the inactive, super-open conformation of GCK, acting as a competitive inhibitor of glucose association with the enzyme (Fig. 3) [45]. Upon formation of the inhibitory complex with GKRP, GCK is sequestered into the hepatocyte nucleus [48]. The detailed mechanism by which GKRP mediates t

  2021-12-13

  

  The regulation of gap junction-connexin-mediated activities may be achieved through action on the channel gating properties (membrane voltage, pH, interaction with junctional and cytoskeletal proteins, Ca2+ and K+ concentrations, etc) or on the trafficking, turnover and localization of connexins. Sh

  2021-12-10

  

  Cyclopamine, a steroidal alkaloid type secondary metabolite from Veratrum californicum Durand (Melanthiaceae), serves as an anti-Hh constituent blocking the activation of Smo [96,100]. According to previous studies, cyclopamine was shown to inhibit the development of human hepatocellular carcinomas

  Next, we asked how a common activation marker of fibroblasts, Acta2, defined gene expression signatures in alveolar airspaces by using Acta2-mKO1 reporter mice (Fig. 2A). In the lungs of Acta2-mKO1 mice, mKO1 was expressed in smooth muscle cells and mesenchymal cells in puromycin selection concentra

  2021-12-10

  

  Ghrelin receptors in non-mammals are reportedly more “complicated/complex and diverse” than in mammals, having additional paralogs and splice variants (Kaiya et al., 2014). Several teleost fish GHS-Rs have been identified; however, functional characterization has been conducted in only a few (see, K

  2021-12-10

  

  Prion diseases are transmissible and result in fatal neurodegenerative disorders, which, similar to AD, also involve the infiltration and activation of mononuclear phagocytes in angiogenesis lesions (reviewed in [61]). A 21 amino-acid fragment of the aberrant human prion protein, Prp106–126, can fo

These 5 compounds demonstrated a good activity against FAAH with IC values in a submicromolar range. Nevertheless, when replacing t

  In conclusion, the present study shows that the endothelin system is of importance in the cardiopulmonary vascular pathophysiology of porcine endotoxin shock. In this model, combination of a selective endothelin ETA and a selective endothelin ETB receptor antagonist markedly improved pulmonary circu

  With the aim to identify potential novel targets in CVD, we applied proteome analyses on vascular tissue of these frequently used mouse models of atherosclerotic disease in the presence and/or absence of diabetes. Potential targets for intervention identified with this approach were validated in hum

  Work is presently underway to unveil mechanisms whereby SAHA-dependent restoration of cardiomyocyte autophagic flux is protective. Another interesting question pertains to mechanisms whereby class I and class II HDAC inhibitors induce autophagy. It has been demonstrated that TSA reduces transverse

  Here, we used chemogenetic modulation of MBH GHSR neurons to address the role of the endogenous ghrelin system in the normal, hyperphagic response to a short-term fast. Studies demonstrating the requirement of an intact ghrelin-GHSR system for the rebound food intake following fasting have been inco

  ETV5 plays an important role in tumorigenesis and metastasis. For example, chromosomal rearrangement of ETV5 which results in increased ETV5 level is believed as a common event driving human prostate cancer (Helgeson et al., 2008; Huang and Waknitz, 2009). Ghrelin/acyl-ghrelin also plays an importan

  The Cx family of integral membrane proteins [13] are key components of the Gap Junction channels that provide GJIC, which is indispensable in the preservation of tissue integrity and homeostasis in multicellular organisms. Gap Junction channels form a conduit for exchange of ions (Ca2+), second mess
