  Materials and methods Results and discussion Conclusions Data about the ability of non-conventional ligands to operate class-A GPCRs have been accumulating. Specifically, increasing evidence indicates that oxysterols, oxidized derivatives of cholesterol, are involved in many activities that

  2020-01-14

  

  Proteases, as multifunctional enzymes, play key roles in controlling a wide variety of cellular and extracellular processes in plants and animals, including protein degradation and processing, germination, complement activation, inflammation, responses to environmental stimuli, senescence and so on.

  Estrogens: Definition and history The term “estrogens” refers to a group of female hormones, including estrone, estradiol, estriol, and estretrol (Fig. 1). Chemically, estrogens belong to the family of organic compounds known as steroids. As such, their core structure is composed of 17 carbon-carbo

  In this paper, we focused on Ewing sarcoma (ES), a rapidly growing, highly malignant bone tumor developing metastases in the vast majority of patients unless multiagent chemotherapy is applied [16]. ES is the second most frequent bone tumor in childhood and adolescence, and is characterized by the p

  Although the mechanisms underlying the EP4-mediated increase in the frequency of mEPSCs via PGE2 remain unclear, mechanisms similar to those driven by EP2 may be involved because activation of both these receptor subtypes increases the intracellular concentration of cAMP (Nishigaki et al., 1995, Sug

  Her eldest daughter (individual 4) had a normal birth and health history in early childhood. She developed contractures of her fourth fingers at 4–5 years of age; these contractures were associated with painless, non-erythematous swelling of the involved joints. Her PIP contractures were ∼90 degrees

  Despite the differences in the clustering abilities of DDR1b versus DDR2 upon ligand administration, we also noted striking similarities in the spatial distribution and phosphorylation of DDR1b-YFP and DDR2-GFP. We show for the first time that in MC3T3-E1 cells, after 4 h of collagen administration,

  2020-01-14

  

  Initially, the E1 uses ATP to activate the C-terminal glycine residue of ubiquitin prior to ligation. In the first step of E1 activation, the E1 catalyzes the adenylation of ubiquitin and pyrophosphate (PPi) release. In the second step, the E1 releases adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and a thioester b

  In conclusion, as illustrated in Fig. 5G, in response to MNNG-induced DNA damage, PARP-1 appears to have dual roles in determining the cell fate in response to MNNG: PARP-1 activation is the cause of non-apoptotic cell death via ATP depletion and PARP-1 activation is able to elicit a self-protectiv

  DHODH activity has been traditionally measured with the standard colorimetric assay that monitors 2,6-dichloroindophenol (DCIP) reduction as absorbance decrease at 600 nm . This assay has permitted the identification of several families of DHODH inhibitors in a successful high-throughput screening (

  2020-01-13

  

  Although PGD was initially considered to elicit its biological actions through a classical PGD receptor (DP1), later findings suggested that several PGD-mediated actions of eosinophils arise via DP2,, which is also known as CRTH2 (chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells)

  Previous studies found that depression primarily results from impaired monoaminergic neurotransmission systems [1], [2]. The glutamatergic and GABAergic systems as well as several neuropeptide systems have also been the focus of pathophysiological studies on depression [1], [2]. Inflammatory cytokin

  Based on the ability of CRF to modulate nociception, we hypothesized that stress leads to hyperalgesia by the activation of CRF1 and/or CRF2 receptors in the spinal cord. We tested this hypothesis using an acute forced swim as a widely used and easily reproducible stressor and grip force as a measur
