  Introduction Fibroblast growth factors (FGF) are a family of 18 secreted ligands that bind to four receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) FGF receptors (FGFR1–4). The interaction of FGFs with their cognate receptors results in the activation of a number of downstream signaling pathways, including the MAP

  Only a few studies have examined the effect of prostanoids on cardiac fibroblasts. Therefore, this study examines the effect of PGE2 on cardiac fibroblast proliferation and tests the hypothesis that PGE2 causes cardiac fibroblast proliferation via alterations of Nuclear/Cytosol Fractionation Kit reg

  The imaging and biochemical data presented here demonstrated that in T cells, AEP played a specific function in cleaving Foxp3 but not Tbet. These results are in accordance with previous AEP studies where it has been shown that AEP substrates in part are not amenable to other protease activity. In a

  Conclusions When the authors joined the field of oxysterol analysis around the turn of the century, oxysterols and cholestenoic acids were mostly considered as uninteresting intermediates of cholesterol metabolism. Some oxysterols had been shown to have biological activity, but the most studied o

  2020-04-13

  

  Immunomodulation effects of certain oxysterols were previously shown to depend on activation of oxysterol-binding liver X receptors (LXRs). Recent work from our labs as well as from others has shown additional receptors linking oxysterols and immunity. For example, we found that 7α,25-dihydroxychole

  In the present study, we combined activity-based protein profiling, biochemical and genetic approaches to identify the PLCPs involved in the sphingolipid pathway leading to plant PCD. By using Arabidopsis SU 4312 synthesis and leaves, we demonstrate that this sub-class of plant proteases is activat

  The aim of the present study was to investigate the participation of CRF1 and CRF2 in the alterations of the dorsal and ventral striatal dopamine release and the vertical and horizontal locomotor activity observed in rats following chronic nicotine treatment and consequent acute withdrawal. In this

  Nevertheless, because of the preclinical work and the interference with EWS–FLI1 transcriptional activity, we believe that there may be a role for ET-743 in Ewing sarcoma. An analysis of the pharmacokinetic data published in the phase II clinical trial shows that at most the drug spent 5 to 6days ou

  Transcription can also be impaired by lesions in the template DNA strand, which may lead to stalling of RNA polymerase (RNAP) or to transcriptional mutagenesis, thus producing mutant RNAs and proteins [[3], [4], [5], [6], [7]]. At the same time, RNAP can act as a sensor for DNA lesions, by attractin

  Notably we demonstrated that EP2/EP4 receptor-coupled activation of the cAMP signaling pathway accounted for both up-regulation of COX-2 and down-regulation of LOX, which is consistent with the roles of the cAMP signaling pathway in regulation of COX-2 and LOX by PGE2 in a number of other tissues or

  Here, we examine the associations between serum pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines and cognitive functioning in early-stage bipolar I disorder (BDI) patients. As per previous studies, ‘early-stage’ was defined as being within three years of the first manic episode (Kauer-Sant\'Anna et al., 2009). W

  Evidence for interactions between the endothelin and the angiotensin system has also become plentiful. It has become clear that the two systems, in addition to acting independently, can act synergistically (Emori et al., 1989, Imai et al., 1992) as well as promote the peptide mRNA expression in endo

  Identification of the drug to be used as first-step antihypertensive treatment has always been, and remains, a matter of debate. The decision wihich drug (or drug combination) to choose as first-line therapy depend on many variables such as coexisting metabolic disorders, obesity, presence of subcli
