  2020-12-07

  

  It is now well accepted that increased local estrogen levels are associated with both the onset and growth of breast cancer. Tissue concentrations of estradiol (E2) in breast cancer are 10 times higher than that found in plasma [12]. Breast cancer tissues also contain increased activity and expressi

  2020-12-07

  

  Despite many studies having demonstrated the importance of connexin43 (Cx43), the most abundant connexin in bone cells, for bone development and turnover during the last decade [27], little is currently known about GJIC and Cx43 in primary bone tumors. In this report, we analyzed the specific role o

  Acknowledgments Introduction Steroidogenesis, the process of testosterone synthesis, occurs in the adrenal cortex, testis and ovary, and it is controlled by luteinizing hormone (LH), which is synthesized and secreted from the pituitary (Hanukoglu, 1992, Payne and Youngblood, 1995). In the testis

  2020-12-07

  

  Multiple protein species are known to naturally exist for the transmembrane receptors DDR1 and DDR2. Five splice variants have been characterized for DDR1 (“a” through “e”). The d and e isoforms lack the intracellular kinase domain of DDR1. The splicing of DDR1 to various extents has been reported i

• ER redox imbalance leads to the accumulation

  2020-12-07

  

  ER redox imbalance leads to the accumulation of misfolded proteins, which might trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR) [17]. In the initiation of UPR, GRP78 preferentially binds to unfolded proteins, shifting the binding equilibrium away from IRE-1, PERK, and ATF-6, the initiators of UPR [18].

  In this study we have explored a functional role of the oxysterol/EBI2 system in this process. In 2011 we and others reported the discovery of oxysterols as ligands for EBI2 [6], [7]. Oxysterols are metabolites generated by hydroxylation of cholesterol and have been linked to a variety of fundamenta

  2020-12-07

  

  Approximately 50% of the etamicastat dose was recovered in urine, 30% in the form of etamicastat and 20% in the form of BIA 5-961. These data agree with those from a study with [14C]-labeled etamicastat in healthy subjects, which showed that approximately 95% of the administered radioactivity had be

  2020-12-07

  

  Consistent with our previous study (Gao et al., 2018b; Wu et al., 2018), we found that TCB-2 disrupted both pup preference and home-cage maternal behavior. Based on the findings that 4-h pup vorapaxar (a technique presumably increases maternal motivation) failed to attenuate the TCB-2-induced mater

  Herein, in continuation of our interest in designing new DNA photocleavage agents [18], we report the synthesis, characterization and DNA binding and cleaving properties of a novel compound: trans-N,N-dimethyl-10,11-di(pyridin-4-ium)-10,11-dihydro-9,12-dioxobenzo[e]phenanthrene tetrafluoroborate (1)

  Materials and methods Results Because of the specific binding of DGKε to an arachidonoyl group, there was a particular interest to evaluate the behavior of 2-AG with this isoform of DGK. The substrate specificity and kinetic constants for DGKε has been recently reported [13]. Using the preferr

  2020-12-07

  

  The two isoforms LDH-A and LDH-B catalyze the same reaction, conversion of pyruvate to lactate at the end of glycolysis. LDH-A is expressed in the liver. Humans with a hereditary deficiency of the A or B LDH isoforms are free of symptoms, except for muscle rigidity and myoglobinuria following stren

  In vitro work by us and others revealed that high affinity interaction with collagen requires dimerization and/or pre-oligomerization of DDR1 (Agarwal et al., 2007, Abdulhussein et al., 2008, Leitinger, 2003). It has also been reported that a significant percentage of the DDR1 population forms ligan

  2020-12-07

  

  DAPK-1 is involved in the p53 dependent apoptotic pathway and it is a mediator of γ-interferon induced apoptosis. DAPK-1 is also involved in other death signaling pathways (tumor necrosis factor-α, CD95 and transforming growth factor-β) and it blocks tumor metastasis in vivo. The loss of DAPK mRNA s

  Cys-LT have been shown to be critical for stimulation of monocytes to produce various proinflammatory factors [32,67]. Fig. 3 shows results obtained with human peripheral monocyte-derived macrophages differentiated for 6 days with 20 ng/ml macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and challenged

  In conclusion, our work led to the characterization of some signalling events of the CysLT1 receptor variants, at several levels, and showed that a punctual serine mutation could alter the response of receptors to cysLTs. Although atopy is a complex phenotype implicating different cell types, media
