  2022-05-10

  

  Upon LPS stimulation, ERK and STAT3 signaling pathways were activated in a time-dependent manner, and the phosphorylation of Y705 occurred later than that of S727 (Supplementary Fig. S5B). STAT3 is known to be phosphorylated on serine 727 (S727) by the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway

  It is difficult, however, to assure that observed alterations of pro-oxidant/antioxidant levels within the studied organisms are related directly to heavy metal pollution, rather than to other accompanying environmental stressors. Environmental factors like oxygen partial pressure, temperature, sali

  2022-05-10

  

  Several lines of evidence suggest that thermosensation in AFD is unlikely to be mediated by thermosensitive ion channels. AFD exhibits a steep temperature dependence with a reported Q of >1015 for temperature-evoked current, implying a strong amplification step in the thermotransduction process (Ram

  2022-05-10

  

  Interestingly, myorelaxation and the stimulation of cGMP production are properties also reported for sGC stimulators, such as YC-1 and BAY 41–2272 (i.e., indazole compounds that were discovered in the 1990s) [35]. They relax aortic ring contractions induced by phenylephrine, and their effects are si

  2022-05-10

  

  The role of the cyclic AMP regulated exchange factor Epac1 is emerging in cancer (Almahariq et al., 2015, Banerjee and Cheng, 2015, Parnell et al., 2015, Parnell et al., 2015, Schmidt et al., 2013). Interestingly, in cancer cell migration, activation of Epac1 can be linked to activation of Rac. As s

  2022-05-10

  

  We show that pharmacological inactivation of GSTP1 over a sustained period does not show any observable toxicity, and not only prevents breast tumor growth but even slows established breast tumor growth in mice. A highly potent GSTP1 inhibitor, ezatiostat (developed by Telik Inc.) has passed phase I

  2022-05-10

  

  Hypoxia has been shown to affect miR-155 expression that can induce autophagy in nasopharyngeal and cervical carcinoma cells [334]. Suppression of miR-155 inhibited hypoxia-induced autophagy. miR-155 targeted mRNAs involved in the PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTORC1 pathway including: Ras homolog enriched in Tazob

  2022-05-10

  

  The expression of COX-2 has been correlated with the density of amyloid plaque [65]. A study reported that IMX was effective in suppressing the expression of iNOS and IL-6, but not COX-2, in LPS-stimulated BV2 microglial cells [52]. In this study, IMX did not alter upregulation of COX-2 induced by H

  FFA4 GPR120 was deorphanised as the second receptor for long-chain fatty acids in 2005 [5]. Initial focus highlighted expression in the lower gut, the capacity of unsaturated fatty acids to promote release of the incretin glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) from the enteroendocrine cell line STC-1, a

  2022-05-10

  

  While NR1 upregulation in the spinal cord is known to contribute to pathological pain [7], [22] and furthermore, NR1 expression in the spinal cord has been shown to be reduced by continuous administration of the GlyT1-inhibitor ALX5407 [23], little is known about possible expressional changes of NR1

  Given the actions of GIP analogues administered as a single dose to ob/ob mice, studies were performed to assess their ability to act in vivo as antagonists of GIP-induced insulinotropic and antihyperglycaemic actions. (Ala3)GIP, (Phe3)GIP, (Tyr3)GIP and (Pro3)GIP all counteracted the glucose-loweri

  2022-05-09

  

  The presence of ghrelin's mRNA in the eye and the presence of ghrelin in the aqueous humor, along with a decrease of its levels in glaucoma, suggest a local role for this peptide in the ocular tissue [8], [16], [18]. There is no available data regarding the presence of GHSR-1 in the anterior segment

  The presented results speak for the direct effects of ghrelin on rat spermatozoa, which are accomplished by the activation of the GHSR-1a receptor. Thus, the results seem to be of physiological significance in vivo since ghrelin, the natural ligand of GHSR-1a, was found to be present in the seminal
