• The androgen receptor AR is a steroid

  2020-09-01

  

  The androgen receptor (AR) is a steroid hormone receptor that plays a crucial role in the normal development of male reproductive tissues, and its high expression and/or relaxation of its regulation are strongly implicated in prostate cancer (PCa) [11]. Androgen binding induces conformational change

  2020-09-01

  

  Acidosis has lethal consequences, but alkalosis (due to chloride depletion, potassium depletion, and excess mineralocorticoid) is not tolerated as well (Luke and Galla, 2012). In this regard, efforts to restore pH to normal physiological level, in the most benign way should be the goal of researcher

  2020-09-01

  

  Prostaglandins (PGs) are lipid mediators that exhibit a variety of physiological properties by interacting specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) [10]. PGD2 is synthesized from PGH2 through two distinct PGD synthases; lipocalin-type PGD synthase (L-PGDS) and hematopoietic PGD synthase (H-PGDS)

  2020-09-01

  

  Human neutrophil elastase (HNE) is a serine protease central to the pathology in a wide range of diseases including chronic wounds, cystic fibrosis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (Owen, 2008). Although neutrophil proteases are necessary for completion of wound healing, HNE is secreted in h

  Genes involved in oxysterol metabolism The main enzymes that participate in the metabolism of oxysterols generally belong into one of two groups: transferases or oxidoreductases [22]. The following chapter describes those genes of oxysterol metabolism whose polymorphisms have been associated with

  Future perspectives Understanding how peptides are degraded, particularly those which may be therapeutically useful, such as GLP-1, has proved to be invaluable in providing a rationale for the development of a novel class of therapeutic agents. However, while DPP-4 plays an important role in the

  DAG kinase activity is confined to specific cell compartments A number of reports demonstrating agonist-dependent translocation of DGKs to distinct membrane compartments suggest that DGK activity is restricted to localized DAG pools generated after activation of receptors. Perhaps the best eviden

  2020-09-01

  

  MTX and MTXPGs block the activity of the key enzyme DHFR (Fig. 1), which converts folates to their active forms – dihydrofolate (DHF) and tetrahydrofolate (THF). MTXPGs also potently inhibit thymidylate synthase (TS). Furthermore, during dTMP synthesis, TS utilizes the cofactor 5,10-methylene THF, w

  2020-08-31

  

  It has previously been established that DDRs play an important role in collagen regulation in at least two distinct ways: (1) activation of DDRs by collagen results in up-regulation of the matrix metalloproteinases, which results in cleavage and degradation of the ECM20., 21., [22] and (2) referred

  Another critical finding in this study is that the level of αSyn oligomers in the SN of σ1R−/− mice was progressively increased with age, whereas the levels of αSyn monomers and αSyn messenger RNA (data not shown) were not altered compared to WT mice. A number of studies reported that soluble αSyn m

  On the other hand, the IL-8 promoter activity induced by the signalling cascade of the CysLT1-G300S receptor is higher than that of the WT receptor. The chemokine IL-8 is mainly involved in the recruitment and activation of neutrophils and we have previously shown that this chemokine gene is a targe

  Experiment 4B: CP154,526 during fear acquisition normalizes fear-potentiated startle and prevents exacerbation of contextual conditioned fear in SERT−/− rats. As genotypes differed markedly in basal fear acquisition, drug effects could differ strongly between genotypes. Therefore, all effects in th

  Multi-subunit RINGs There are RING-type E3s that exist as multi-subunit assemblies (see Fig. 3B). A striking example is the Cullin RING Ligase (CRL) superfamily [35], which exhibits enormous plasticity in substrate specificity. Each CRL subfamily is characterized by a cullin protein (Cul-1, 2, 3,
