  In addition to calpain I activity, cathepsin activities have been proven to be linked to apoptotic signaling. Cathepsin B and cathepsin D are two of the most abundant and well-investigated lysosome acid-dependent proteases that are involved in the apoptotic regulation (Ferri & Kroemer, 2001). Cathep

  The objectives of this study were to investigate 1) the mRNA and protein expression of apelin and APJ in porcine ovarian follicles of different sizes, and their immunolocalization and concentrations in follicular fluid and ovarian follicle, and 2) the direct effect of recombinant human apelin-13 on

  Most human diseases (e.g., cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases) are complex and multifactorial. Several investigations in the literature focused on new multi-target drug development, which implies active pharmacophores incorporation in one scaffold (Meunier, 2008, Lazar et al., 2004, Te

  Acknowledgement Introduction Estrogens play an important role in the development and progression of breast cancer (McGuire et al., 1976; Clemons and Goss, 2001). 17β-Estradiol (E2), the most biologically active estrogen in breast tissue, functions via its nuclear receptors, estrogen receptor (

  AhR Modulators It is now well recognized that ligand-activated AhR induces an immune tolerance response by acting directly on the antigen-presenting DCs and indirectly by increasing the population of immunosuppressive Tregs 24, 95, 96. In addition to inhibiting the formation or depleting the AhR

  While HTPCs are not immune cells, they produce IL-6, MCP-1 and other immunologically relevant factors (Mayer et al., 2016). Our results demonstrated that epinephrine and phenylephrine increased the mRNA expression levels of COX-2, IL-6 and MCP-1 in HTPCs without affecting the mRNA expression level o

  Mitochondria from frozen-thawed bull sperm are capable of producing energy using pyruvate and lactate as substrates through oxidative pathways (Beorlegui et al., 1997). Based on the present study, heparin capacitated sperm had a lesser lactate concentration in the incubation medium, supporting the h

  In the presence of detrimental conditions, such as inflammation, hypoxia, ischemia trauma or neoplastic milieu, the extracellular levels of adenosine increase massively, reaching micromolar range [51,52]. In these pathological contexts, adenosine accumulation stems from increased extracellular depho

  Two patients developed diffuse mesangio-proliferative glomerulonephritis (DMPG) postoperatively, presenting as nephrotic syndrome and benign haematuria, respectively. DMPG has been reported in an adult patient with thymomatous MG following thymectomy [35], and various types of glomerulonephritis hav

  Another open question is whether GABA and ACh are released from the same synaptic vesicles, or even the same presynaptic terminals. Multi-transmitter neurons may either function through co-release, in which multiple neurotransmitters are packaged into the same presynaptic terminal and are therefore

  Although we have achieved a great deal of success in the development of tools to understand autophagy in health and disease, highly specific reagents for autophagy manipulation and deep knowledge of autophagy is required to advance the research in therapeutic treatment.

  Taking together findings from our study and that from the literature, we propose a model (to be experimentally confirmed) of possible intracellular mechanism of NA-induced regulation of Na-K ATPase subunit expression (Fig. 8). NA acting on α1-AR modulates the α1- and α3-subunit expressions of Na-K A
