2022-06-22
uPAR promotes cell-associated proteolysis by binding to uPA which locally converts plasminogen into active plasmin [10]. Ligand-engaged uPAR also acts as a potent regulator of cell migration and matrix attachment. Being a membrane receptor, uPAR needs to interact with extracellular matrix (ECM) prot

2022-06-22
Following these discoveries, the term ferroptosis was coined in 2012 [25], to describe this iron-dependent, non-apoptotic form cell death induced by erastin and RSL3. This discovery was accompanied by the development of the first small molecule ferroptosis inhibitor, termed ferrostatin-1, and the de

While histone modifications can alter inter-nucleosomal interactions that govern the compaction state of a chromatin fiber (Francis et al., 2004, Kalashnikova et al., 2013, Lu et al., 2008), the potential impact of histone modifications on higher-order chromosome organization beyond chromatin-fiber

Therefore, we believe that HIF-mediated effects on CSC markers, apoptosis are mediated through HO-1. Our plan is to look for more mechanistic studies to understand the role of HO-1 degradation products (CO, Fe, and bilirubin) in cellular apoptosis, stemness under hypoxia. The model of role of HO-1 i

2022-06-22
The RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway is a central controller of cell proliferation and survival and, consequently, alterations to some of its components lead to hyperactivation of the pathway, an event related to numerous types of cancer [172]. High rates of alterations to this pathway are found in leukemia,

In addition to narrowing a wide knowledge gap in Hh developmental biology research, improved understanding of Disp structure and function is likely to also be relevant to cancer. A growing body of evidence supports that Shh facilitates tumor–stroma communication in a range of cancers to influence tu

Here we investigate the structural and biochemical properties of the N-GTPase domain of p190RhoGAP-A. We determine the crystal structure and find that N-GTPase adopts an extended GTPase-like fold with six unique inserts that seem to preclude its ability to bind typical GAP, GEF, or BMS-345541 molecu

Introduction Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is an enzyme playing multiple roles in animal tissues and organs, and cb 839 is not an exception. Apart from involvement in regulation of apoptosis and survival GSK-3 influences neuronal morphology, synapse formation, memory reconsolidation in adult

With ω3 able to modulate inflammation and effect obesity-related outcomes, it is of interested that two G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR), GPR120 and GPR40, were recently deorphanized and shown to recognize ω3 acids (docosahexaenoic, C22:6; eicosapentaenoic, C20:4; and α-linolenic, C18:3), as well

In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of: 1) how AT-resident CD4+ T cell subpopulations regulate the metabolic status of AT; and 2) how adipocytes as antigen presenting cells to modulate the activities of CD4+ T cell subpopulations in AT. Under condition with obesity, ad

In response to oxidative stress in DM, antioxidant defence systems are activated in β-cells. Glutathione (GSH) is one of the most abundant antioxidants and has been shown to be expressed at lower concentrations in patients with DM [12], [13]. Furthermore, plasma levels of glycine, which is a synthet

The precise mechanisms of action of 4-PBA are as yet ambiguous. Its capacity as a chemical chaperone has been thoroughly documented for the ABC transporter family in particular (Prulière-Escabasse et al., 2007; Iram and Cole, 2014; Gordo-Gilart et al., 2016; Pomozi et al., 2017). 4-PBA has been clas

Introduction l-Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) that contributes not only to fast synaptic neurotransmission, but also to complex physiological processes like memory, learning, plasticity, and neuronal cell death [30], [81]. Glutamate is

Herein, in consider of the high similarity between GR HBP site and AR HBP site, we applied rational drug design strategy to develop AR/GR antagonists based on the chemical structures of antiandrogens and crystal structure of GR. The following bioassay identified Z19 as a dual AR/GR antagonist. Z19 i

In fact, changes in mitochondrial dynamics directly affects many things including cellular metabolism [127], mitochondrial mass and turnover [128], mitochondrial transport, and calcium buffering [129]. Nigrostriatal DA neurons seem to have a preferential susceptibility to loss of Mfn2 when compared
