  In the literature, we can find two different modes of action for estrogens: Firstly there is the commonly accepted genomic pathway. Estrogens pass the cell membrane due to their lipophilic character via diffusion and bind to estrogen receptors (ERs) in the cytoplasm. After binding a dimerization of

  Introduction Breast cancer is a highly prevalent malignancy. There are some recognized risk factors for breast cancer, like early menarche or late menopause, which increase the length of the exposure to hormones, as a result of a higher number of ovarian cycles [1]. Moreover, there is evidence supp

  In a recent report, Yoshihara and colleagues (2016) used transcriptomes derived from freshly isolated islets of 2-week-old neonatal, 6-week-old young adult, or 12-week-old adult mice to interrogate how maturation is regulated to acquire glucose responsiveness. The authors observed that estrogen-rela

  Recently, roflumilast has been approved as the first selective PDE4 inhibitor for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [2]. Roflumilast has been suggested to target several different pathogenetic mechanisms, including inflammation, fibrotic, emphysematous and vascular remode

  Structure and function of EPAC isoforms EPACs are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the Ras-like GTPases Rap1 and Rap2 [9]. There are two mammalian EPAC isoforms, EPAC1 and EPAC2 1, 2 (Figure 1). Whereas EPAC1 displays a wide tissue distribution, the expression of EPAC2 is more restr

  In rodents (Wang et al., 2003, Wang and Tsirka, 2005b, Zhu et al., 2012) and humans (Wang et al., 2011), the major forms of cell death after ICH are necrosis and apoptosis. In the perihematomal region of rodents, the number of necrotic and apoptotic cells peaks at 72h post-ICH (Matsushita et al., 20

  According to the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (NC-IUBMB, 1992), peptidases are divided into two classes, namely exopeptidases and endopeptidases, based on their actions on substrates and their active sites, respectively. Endopeptidases inclu

  In principle, in vitro techniques for assessing enzyme induction might include the use of cultured hepatocytes, precision-cut liver slices, immortalized Dehydrocostus Lactone lines (such as those derived from hepatomas) and reporter gene constructs (where appropriate cells are transfected with reco

  The purpose of this study is to investigate KDM1B expression and its functional significance in PC. We used lentivirus-mediated shRNA to down-regulate KDM1B expression in PC cell lines in vitro and detected the changes of cell proliferation and apoptosis. These studies provided a novel insight into

  (A) An “optimized BEI-SEIscore” based on the trends, emerged from the statistical analysis of several optimization studies in pharmaceutical industry (Abad-Zapatero, 2007, Abad-Zapatero and Blasi, 2011). This type of optimized scores has been used in many previous studies. Ki=1nM at 300° K, compare

  The focus of this review is on the diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3.1.20) enzymes, DGAT1 and DGAT2, that catalyze the esterification of a fatty acyl moiety to a DAG molecule to produce TAG. These enzymes commit DAG to being stored as TAG rather than being diverted for the synthesis of ph

  Besides degrading cholesterol, the cholesterol degradation pathway also offers a route to obtain useful starting materials for the production of steroid drugs and hormones. Indeed, steroids are among the most marketed pharmaceuticals with about 300 approved steroid drugs [15] and a worldwide market
