  2019-08-17

  

  Although information regarding the influence of PGE2 on cardiac fibroblast cell growth is sparse, the effect of PGE2 on other cell types has been studied extensively, particularly in cancer and cancer cell lines where COX-2 is over-expressed. Constitutive high levels of COX-2 expression have been no

  2019-08-17

  

  The biological actions of ET‐1 are mediated via two distinct receptor subtypes, the endothelin A and endothelin B receptors (ETA/ETB). While activation of ETA is assumed to mediate contraction of smooth muscle cells, the activity of ETB is related to transient vasodilation [22]. In human corpus cave

  2019-08-17

  

  The discoidin domain receptors, DDR1 and DDR2, are receptor tyrosine kinases that are activated by different types of collagen (Shrivastava et al., 1997, Vogel et al., 1997). Both receptors interact with a number of fibrillar collagens, and DDR1, but not DDR2, is also activated by the network-formin

  2019-08-17

  

  EBI2 and its ligand(s) EBI2 was found in a screen of upregulated genes in human B cells upon infection with EBV [1]. EBI2 is a G-protein (Gαi type) coupled receptor [2] but as long as 18 years after its discovery the nature of its ligand remained undisclosed. With the help of transfected cell lines

  2019-08-17

  

  Introduction Cholesterol plays a pivotal role as a constituent of biological membranes and as a precursor for vitamins, hormones and bile acids. Accordingly, its production, distribution, and elimination must be tightly regulated at the cellular and organismal level. Accordingly, dysregulated chole

  2019-08-17

  

  Lately, using receptor TM peptides, BiFC and PLA experiments, we have also obtained experimental evidence for the tetrameric structure of A1R–D1R, which explains the canonical interaction on Gi and Gs, respectively (Fig. 2). We have demonstrated for the first time the presence of this heterotetramer

  Consistent with our previous study (Gao et al., 2018b; Wu et al., 2018), we found that TCB-2 disrupted both pup preference and home-cage maternal behavior. Based on the findings that 4-h pup Fatostatin A (a technique presumably increases maternal motivation) failed to attenuate the TCB-2-induced ma

  2019-08-17

  

  As DNA methylation plays a critical role in organismic development and human diseases, the interest in DNA methyltransferases is constantly increasing. Extensive studies on the repertoires of dnmts genes have indicated increasing dnmts members in eukaryotes (Goll and Bestor, 2005; Ponger and Li, 200

  Genotype-phenotype correlations Genotype-phenotype correlations are limited. Compared with individuals with truncating variants, those with pathogenic missense variants in the adenosine triphosphate binding site had a milder disorder, some with ability to walk unaided, better hand use, and less r

  2019-08-16

  

  One step in pyrimidine biosynthesis is conversion of l-dihydroorotate (DHO) to orotate (ORO), under action of the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH, EC 1.3.99.11), which contains a flavine (FMN) as redox cofactor [1]. In this transformation, electrons resulting from DHO oxidation are transf

  2019-08-16

  

  The IP3R is a ubiquitously expressed Ca2+-release channel from the ER, activated by IP3, produced upon cellular stimulation by hormones, growth factors or neurotransmitters. Three genes are coding for the IP3R and their gene products (IP3R1, IP3R2, IP3R3) assemble in functional homo- or heterotetram

  RQ2: What are the different factors that influence the decision to choose among different component origins? In total eleven factors grouped into three high-level themes that influence the decision to choose a component origin were identified. The project metrics factors are: time, cost, effort and

  The reduction of the calcium response to AVP could be also due to a PKA-mediated effect of desensitization of IP3R, as described in rat megakaryocytes [41]. Furthermore, PKA activation inhibits intracellular Ca release in mouse pancreatic acinar cells [42] or in rat cerebellum [43]. The phosphorylat

  2019-08-16

  

  Inflammation is critical in the pathobiology of atherosclerosis. The inflammatory mediators impacted by FBXO3 described herein i.e. NF-κB, IL-1β, and TNF-α, and IL-8 have purported causal roles in atherosclerosis. For example, NF-κB activation is increased in mononuclear cells in human plaques [29]

  2019-08-16

  

  The two most important biological machineries controlling proteostasis, PQC, and degradation are autophagy and the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) (). Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent, tightly regulated catabolic process that degrades unwanted cell organelles and cytoplasmic constituents in lysos
