  2024-04-02

  

  Extracellular adenosine acts as a local modulator of cell function via four adenosine receptor subtypes (A1Rs A2AR, A2BR, and A3R) that are involved in numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes [31]. Each is encoded by a separate gene and has different functions, although with some ove

  It is well accepted that PKA is a key enzyme activated at the beginning of the capacitation process [69]. As mentioned above phosphorylation/inactivation of cofilin in sperm is a PKA dependent process [58]. We could not see any change in cofilin phosphorylation level by adding the PKA activator 8Br-

  2024-04-02

  

  Roles of Aurora kinases in directly activating multiple oncogenic pathways and promoting proliferation as well as transformation have also been demonstrated. Aurora-A has been shown to up-regulate telomerase reverse transcriptase mRNA through c-myc [26]. The kinase was also implicated in activating

  A positive correlation between nasopharyngeal CCL3 and CCL5 [16] concentrations and illness severity was shown in evaluating patients with RSV bronchiolitis [17]. CCL5 and CCL3 are important for monocyte and lymphocyte recruitment to the lung during RSV infection [7], [16], [18]. Despite the signifi

  2024-04-02

  

  Autocrine regulations of several adipokines (e.g., leptin and resistin) on adipocytes have been reported (Karastergiou and Mohamed-Ali, 2010, Ye et al., 2010). Several lines of evidence have shown that apelin influences adipocyte functions, such as, lipolysis and glucose uptake (Dray et al., 2008, Y

  Future directions-outlook Peptide-based macrocycles are among the privileged scaffolds in antibiotic drug discovery. Many compounds were discovered by natural product screening and developed unchanged, or as semi-synthetic derivatizations. Since the golden age of antibiotic discovery (1940s-mid 1

  Furthermore, to address the concern that the observed positive in vitro activity results might be stymied by the propensity of such assays to display false positives due to the inherent noxiousness of the tested compounds, all analogs were evaluated against Vero cells in an MTT assay. Some of the mo

  The 12/15-lipoxygenase pathway in vascular physiology and pathology The mammalian 12- and 15-LOXs have high substrate specificity oxidizing predominantly ω−6 (arachidonic and linoleic acids) but also the ω−3 (docosahexanoic) Oleamide [86], [87], [88]. Different LOXs oxidize fatty acids both in t

  We also measured macrophage infiltration and CLS presence in peri-gonadal AT from db/db mice and controls. CLS are morphological features within AT that are accurate indicators of adipocyte death and macrophage infiltration [56]. An earlier study showed that CLS macrophages account for >90% of the t

  Studies on both TCDD treated mice and AhR null mice have also pointed to a role of AhR in hematopoiesis [65], [66]. Singh et al. showed that AhR is a negative regulator of HSC (hematopoietic stem cell) proliferation, while deletion of AhR leads to spleen enlargement in juvenile and adult mice [67].

  The results of cell culture models were further supported by in vivo studies in mice treated with PXR and/or AhR agonists, PCN and β-NF. In these mice, AhR-regulated cyp1a1, and cyp1a2 were suppressed by PXR activation as determined by real time Q-PCR (Fig. 3). The level of PXR mRNA was not changed

  The finding that OCT3 is expressed in the nucleus accumbens (Gasser et al., 2009) suggests that inhibition of this transporter may underlie previously described effects of glucocorticoids on extracellular DA concentrations and indicates that DA clearance in this region is not mediated exclusively by

  Very recently, Niessen et al. have described the resensitizing effect of MB327 on nAChR performing solid-supported membrane (SSM)-based electrophysiological experiments (Niessen et al., 2016) using plasma membrane preparations obtained from Torpedo californica. These findings validated and underline

  Several mechanisms have been suggested to account for the causal association of ICAM-1 induction and leukocyte adhesion with DR, including oxidative stress [16], NF-κB [17], PKC [18], and bioactive lipids [19]. Our previous studies highlighted the role of bioactive lipid metabolites derived from 12/
