  2024-03-11

  

  Pioneering studies on the immunomodulatory role of adenosine date back to the early ‘70 s of last century (Fig. 1), when the critical role of this nucleoside in shaping the development and the activity of several immune cell populations was first established [[18], [19], [20], [21], [22]]. This then

  2024-03-11

  

  The biology of the A2BR is complex and needs to be considered contextually as the expression and effect of receptor engagement varies according to time post hypoxic injury, cell type and downstream signaling pathway. For example, A2BR expression is dynamic - low under basal and increasing under isch

  2024-03-11

  

  Given the powerful and ubiquitous nature of adenosine action within the CNS, basal levels of extracellular adenosine are carefully regulated and are estimated to be in the region of 30–300 nM (Fredholm et al., 2001). The two main pathways for the control of extracellular adenosine involve phosphoryl

  Evaluation of plant growth. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants were examined by microscope for alterations in cell size and shape. Overall plant architecture was also compared with control plants. Results and discussion Acknowledgments Introduction Mammalian ACK1 is a kinase effector for Cdc42

  2024-03-11

  

  An alternative to the agonist or antagonist potential in drug discovery is the positive allosteric modulator (PAM) approach, which can augment the normal processes of neurotransmission as opposed to directly replacing or antagonizing them. PAMs are thought to bind to sites that are distinct from the

  Furthermore, new strategies to achieve a total androgen deprivation namely by blocking either androgen biosynthesis as well as AR are being considered and should be a relevant topic in the near future. A successful example of this approach is galeterone (159), which not only inhibits the CYP17 enzym

  2024-03-11

  

  The human CYP17A1 gene is located on chromosome 10q24.3 (1) and spans 6.6 kb, which contain eight exons (2) and 1.6 kb of coding region. From this gene, the same 2.1-kb mRNA species is transcribed in both the adrenals and gonads (3), which yields a 57-kDa microsomal cytochrome P450c17 enzyme (CYP1

  Introduction Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1), a family member of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K) family, selectively activates the JNK and p38 MAP kinase pathways in response to various types of stresses, including oxidative stress, and subsequently indu

  Plasma apelin levels predict the major cardiovascular event after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and adverse events are higher in patients with lower plasma apelin levels [75]. Apelin and its receptor are markedly upregulated in the he

  Since E2 was shown to affect the expression of Hsps, the transcript expression levels of another 11 Hsps were also evaluated by real-time PCR with their specific primers. The transcripts of 4 proteins (Hsp10, Hsp56, Hsp70a and Hsp110) were significantly up-regulated, but that of Hsp47 was significan

  There is a growing literature on ABCA2 expression in human biopsies, where it has been described as a potential biomarker of leukemias. In childhood T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, ABCA2 and ABCA3 were expressed at high levels, which upon treatment with methotrexate, vinblastine and doxorubicin

  Adenosine A2A agonists have been shown to significantly reduce albuminuria in diabetic mice as well as plasma creatinine [24]. Proteinuria was greater in diabetic A2A knock-out (KO) mice than diabetic wild type (WT) mice [24]. Consistent with these findings, our laboratory initially found that prote
