  2020-04-16

  

  The DDR1 gene, located on chromosome region 6p21.33, encodes a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor involved in melanocyte anchoring through binding to collagen IV (Silva de Castro et al., 2010). So far, only three studies have been conducted on the association between DDR1 polymorphism and the ri

  ACAT1 may act as a dimer of dimer [38]. Within each dimer, it may contain two identical sterol substrate sites (designated as site S), and one or two sterol activator site(s) (designated as site A). Site S preferentially binds pregnenolone (PREG); it can also bind a variety of sterols that contain 3

  2020-04-15

  

  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

  An important role for the precursor molecule of the main EBI2 ligand, 25-OHC, in the inhibition of inflammation was recently shown. 25-OHC was demonstrated to inhibit inflammasome induction in mouse macrophages [28]. Inflammasome assemblies are the sites of caspase 1 activation and lead to the gener

  Previous in vitro and in vivo studies have shown the potent ability of toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands and type I interferon (IFN) signaling to induce CH25H in macrophages and DCs following exposure to innate immune stimuli (Bauman et al., 2009; Diczfalusy et al., 2009; Park and Scott, 2010; Zou et

  In the present work, we have investigated the reactivity of N-aryl-N′-hydroxyguanidines 1a–d (see Scheme 1 for structures) with the water-soluble Cu(II) complex 8. Using EPR and UV–Visible spectroscopy, we have shown that the studied N-aryl-N′-hydroxyguanidines 1a–d can bind and transfer electrons t

  Our study revealed elevated basal Akt phosphorylation in diet-induced obesity, the effect of which was reversed by ETAKO. Activation of Akt promotes cardiac hypertrophy via a number of cellular mechanisms including activation of its downstream targets such as mTOR and GSK3β [45, 46]. Short-term acti

  To explore the mechanism behind differential activation kinetics, Marcott et al. (2018) manipulate local dopamine dynamics. They show that differences in dopamine concentrations are not responsible for different D2R activation kinetics, since D2-IPSCs reach similar amplitudes at different rates in N

  Introduction Angiotensin II (Ang II) and Endothelin 1 (ET-1) are potent vasoconstrictive peptides recognized as key players in many cardiovascular diseases [1]. Cardiac hypertrophy, ischemic arrhythmia, and stroke have been associated to an overstimulation of the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) recepto

  Our results indirectly support the combination of resveratrol and hesperatin treatment for PDN, as this induces GLO1 activity in patients (Xue et al., 2016), as well as metformin, an FDA-approved anti-diabetic treatment, which acts as an MG scavenger to reduce MG levels in type 2 diabetic patients (

  In general, we observed that the enolase gene with highest mRNA levels was TVAG_043500, under all three iron concentration conditions. mRNA levels for this gene are very similar in normal and iron rich cultures (73.9 and 78.1 fold change, respectively), and higher in iron depleted cultures (118.3 fo

  Molecular characterization of LEI/L-DNase II LEI, like most serpins, is a metastable protein and its anti-protease activity is related to its “stressed to relaxed transition”. So that, the inhibition of elastase by the well described suicide mechanism generates the cleaved form of LEI (see Padron
