  2022-01-25

  

  The significance of Aβ and tau as therapeutic targets is not only derived from pathological evidence of postmortem brain but also from biochemical analysis of cultured human neurons. This is largely based on the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology that has been established to study Aβ, t

  2022-01-25

  

  Inflammasomes are multimeric protein complexes involved in the host defense protecting activity against invading pathogens and in physiological aberrations such as cancer and auto-inflammatory, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases. Inflammasomes induce the inflammatory process by triggering the

  2022-01-25

  

  Stimulation of FPR by bacterial N-formyl peptides induces basophil and mast A-1210477 release of immunogenic compounds such as histamine [21], [31]. Furthermore, we demonstrated that histamine plays a role in F-MITs-induced sepsis-like symptoms since cimetidine, a histamine H2-receptor antagonist,

  2022-01-25

  

  BDNF is intricately implicated in energy homeostasis (Hamdouchi et al., 2016; Schwartz and Mobbs, 2012), regulation of mood (Sartorius et al., 2015) and adult neurogenesis (Taliaz et al., 2010; Waterhouse et al., 2012), our primary focus was to evaluate the effects of GPR40 stimulation on BDNF expre

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Induction of neuronal cell death is the main neurotoxic mechanism of arsenite (Vahidnia et al., 2007). Previous studies have demonstrated that arsenite may trigger neuronal cell death via apoptosis, autophagy as well as necrosis (Yen et al., 2012; La

  2022-01-25

  

  Recent studies have shown that epigenetic modification is involved in neuropathic pain. For instance, peripheral noxious stimulation changes DNA methylation and histone modifications, which are related to pain hypersensitivity under chronic pain conditions [8]. Importantly, the epigenetic abnormalit

  2022-01-25

  

  The importance of the histone chaperone function of Hat1p was highlighted by the recent demonstration that the catalytic activity of Hat1p is not sufficient for its function in vivo. Fusion of a nuclear export signal (NES) to yeast Hat1p effectively excluded the enzyme from the nucleus, with a conco

  2022-01-25

  

  In various models, histamine has been shown to induce chemotaxis. This was first appreciated over 40 years’ ago in studies with eosinophils (Clark et al., 1977). At that time, only histamine H1 and histamine H2 receptors were recognized and studies with ligands to these receptors indicated that neit

  2022-01-25

  

  Oltipraz has been shown to inhibit the growth of HCC polycomb repressive complex and is being evaluated in clinical trials as a potential anti-cancer drug for HCC (Mann et al., 2009; Piton et al., 2005; Yates and Kensler, 2007). The present observation that pre-treatment of tumorigenic liver cells

  Whereas Sororin is dispensable in the absence of Wapl [14], overexpressed Haspin only partly supports cohesion in Sororin-depleted cells. Thus, although Haspin and Sororin have functional similarities, they are not fully redundant at the centromere. Haspin may have a mitosis-specific role in maintai

  2022-01-25

  

  The relaxant response to carperitide was influenced neither by the removal of the endothelium nor by treatment with the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor or nitric oxide scavenger. This result was to be expected as previous studies showing that the vasodilator action of atrial natriuretic peptide is e

  In addition to understanding the GEF-GAP cycle regulating Rho-family GTPases, studies have continued to address the role of the Rho-GDIs, which binds to the geranylgeranyl tail to sequester Rho-family GTPases from interacting with lipid membranes, preventing their activation. Whilst it would be temp

  Calcium mobilization (FLIPR) assay: CHO-K1 cells expressing an NFAT-β-lactamase reporter and the promiscuous Gα-subunit Gqi5 were stably transfected with either empty vector (pCDNA3.1, Invitrogen) or vector expressing HA-GPR81, GPR109A or GPR109B. Cells were seeded at 10,000cells/well in 384-well cu

  Several previous reports have demonstrated that epithelial cell migration is important in promoting mucosal repair after damage caused by DSS and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [33], [34], [35]. Cell migration is coordinated by many factors, including fibronectin and its receptor integrin α5,

  All HFD fed groups in our study, having significantly higher levels of EE (heat production) is consistent with previous studies [91], where a significant increase in EE was observed within just one week of HFD feeding [81]. It is hypothesized that this phenomenon is due to the increased body mass an
