  Introduction Cancer has been a significant public health problem in the world with more patients being diagnosed every year. However, chemotherapy from non-specific cytotoxic agents that as an effective means of cancer treatment is limited by severe side effects and poor selectivity. Thus, the deve

  2022-05-06

  

  A second feature of the Ras-type GTPases is that their ‘on’ and ‘off’ states are temporally and often spatially separated from one another. This feature is essential for GTPases mediating signaling and other processes that need to be kept ‘off’ until the arrival of signaling cues. The need to recrui

  2022-05-06

  

  In plants, NO production is one of the early responses to stress (Tossi, Lamattina, & Cassia, 2009). Usually, NO signal transduction requires the involvement of downstream signaling compounds. We further investigated the effects of cGMP on GSK-3 expression. The data showed that LY83583 (a cGMP inhib

  Studies of human and mouse GPR84, as ascertained by mRNA levels in various tissues, have determined that GPR84 is highly expressed on bone marrow cells, splenic T and B cells, and circulating granulocytes/monocytes/macrophages. In the latter cells, mRNA expression of is up-regulated only under infl

  2022-05-06

  

  Introduction Activation of the lipid sensing receptor, GPR55, by lysophosphatidyl inositol (LPI) has been well documented, and implicated in endocannabinoid signaling [1]. Intracellular events resulting from GPR55 activation include; enhanced β-arrestin activity, calcium mobilization and ERK1/2 p

  2022-05-06

  

  We also noticed that acetic acid by itself (used to induce pain) increased spinal cord levels of KYNA (see Fig. 5). The most rational explanation of this finding is based on the possibility that acetic acid and KYNA share the same transport systems and the finding is therefore not surprising. Altho

  2022-05-06

  

  Sepsis was defined as a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) associated with severe infection in 1992 [9]. However, in the Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock [10], it was redefined as life-threatening organ dysfunction provoked by a dysregulated host resp

  Through the analysis of various synthetic GPR40 agonists as reported in literature, we found that a number of these compounds contained a phenylpropanoic Aurora Kinase Inhibitor III motif which was inspired from naturally occurring medium to long chain fatty acids. For instance, in the early period

  Several studies have indicated MUC1 to be an effective marker for identifying various malignant tumors, such as gastric, breast, pancreatic, ovarian, gallbladder, uterus, lung, and prostate cancers, as well as for prognostic outcomes [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23].

  2022-05-05

  

  To help resolve the question of simple binding versus transport, we reasoned that if quercetin is transported by GLUT1, we should be able to block its uptake by other GLUT1 inhibitors. We initially investigated the effects of two newly identified GLUT1 inhibitors, BAY-876 and WZB-117. WZB-117 was fi

  Similarly, both neofunctionalization and subfunctionalization likely occurred for the duplicated proglucagon genes. The change in function of GLP-1 would be a neofunctionalization, however in this case it acquired a redundant function – a function that largely overlaps with glucagon effects in the l

  When testing the novel DA-CH3 peptide, it was found that it is superior to liraglutide in the MPTP mouse model of PD at a dose of 25 nmol/kg ip once-daily for 7 days. In the Rotarod and grip strength assessment, DA-CH3 was superior to liraglutide in reversing the MPTP–induced motor impairment. Dopam

  Ghrelin contains an n-octanoylation at its Ser3 residue (Kojima et al., 1999). While des-acyl ghrelin is found in high concentrations in the blood, only the lipidated form is active at GHSR (Bednarek et al., 2000). We previously showed that ghrelin interacts with the membrane via its lipid modificat

  Based upon the present findings, it is tempting to imagine that selective, and especially stable blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetrating GalR1 antagonists might be useful as drugs for acute suppression of appetite. While this may be possible, previous studies using nonspecific galanin antagonists yiel
