  2022-07-06

  

  Metallothioneins (MTs) that are intracellular proteins responsible for the maintenance of metal homeostasis are involved in arsenic toxicity (Kita et al., 2006). Four major MT isoforms have been reported so far, MT1, MT2A, MT3 and MT4. The synthesis of MT1 and MT2A isoforms in mammal cells can be in

  2022-07-06

  

  Cysteine (Cys) residues are frequently found to be highly conserved within functional, regulatory, catalytic, or binding sites of proteins. Thiol or thiolate chemistry imparts active sites with unique properties like nucleophilicity, high affinity metal binding, and disulfide bond assisted multimeri

  2022-07-06

  

  In contrast to RhoA, Rac1 and Rap1 which are stimulated by platelet activators and inhibited by NO/PKG, the GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) is regulated in the reverse way. Platelet agonists like thrombin, collagen, or ADP, reduce Arf6-GTP levels, whereas NO and PGI2 oppose this reduction [1

  2022-07-06

  

  The mode of action of m-Tyr has not been fully recognized. The primary/basic mechanism of action of m-Tyr is thought to be associated with the incorporation of this NPAA into the structure of proteins resulting in formation of dysfunctional proteins [11], [12]. m-Tyr is incorporated into proteins in

  To characterize the basic functions of GPR84 in phagocytes, we have utilized the receptor selective antagonist GLPG1205 (a small selective antagonist of GPR84 developed by Galapagos NV [14]) together with ZQ16 (2-(hexylthio) pyrimidine-4,6-diol), a potent GPR84 selective agonist identified in a high

  Results and discussion Conclusions In summary, we generated analogues of the hit compounds 1–3, studied their structure–activity relationships, and created a series of highly potent GPR55 agonists. The most potent agonists among the series were 17a-b, 17e, 17g and 17l with EC50 values below 10

  2022-07-06

  

  Human GPR55 (hGPR55) was originally isolated in 1999 as an orphan GPCR with high levels of expression in human striatum (Sawzdargo et al., 1999) (Genbank accession # NM_005683.3). hGPR55 was mapped to human chromosome 2q37, and in the human CNS it is predominantly localized to the caudate, putamen,

  2022-07-06

  

  GnRH receptor (GnRH-R) levels are elevated in decidualized stromal cells, suggesting a function for the GnRH–GnRH-R pathway in the early implantation events. Both GnRH and GnRH-R have been shown to be present in preimplantation embryos and the fallopian tubes at both mRNA and protein levels (). Two

  2022-07-06

  

  The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has shown that considerable variation in human genome is still undiscovered and therefore a considerable number of rare variations that are related to disease susceptibility may still be unknown. NGS has allowed to strengthen the association between los

  Studies examining cerebral glucose metabolism in MDD using 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose in positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) showed altered regional glucose metabolism in MDD (Dunn et al., 2002, Kennedy et al., 2001, Kimbrell et al., 2002, Saxena et al., 2001). In a recent meta-analysis by Su and co

  Regulation of the GLI code by non-HH signals and by the oncogenic load The GLI code may be seen as the essential parameter to regulate canonical HH output. Its regulation first appeared to be strictly dependent on the presence of specific levels of HH ligands. Indeed, GLI1 transcription is so far

  Inhibitors of the Gárdos effect include the Ca2+-channel blocker nitrendipine with an IC50 of ∼103nM (Ellory et al., 1992, Ellory et al., 1992); its mode of action is likely to be from direct blockage of K+ flux through the Gárdos channel (Ellory et al., 1992, Ellory et al., 1992), and the peptidic

  Glucocorticoid is a major regulator of body's response to stress (Armario, 2006). Repeated injections of the glucocorticoid corticosterone (CORT) in mice have been shown to produce an animal model of depression (Zhao et al., 2008). Further study of this phenomenon suggested that prolonged CORT expos
