  2024-11-07

  

  Apelin/APJ triggers a variety of cellular signaling pathways (Fig. 1). Recent studies from our laboratory showed that apelin-13 induces vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation by the upregulation of Cyclin D1 expression, which is involved in an ERK-dependent activation of Jagged-1/Notch3 si

  2024-11-07

  

  At the top of the S1 subsite cylinder are two “cap” residues: E572 and M1034 [13]. Atomic structures of PfA-M1 have revealed important clues into potential roles for the cap residues in substrate selection. In the PfA-M1:bestatin co-crystal structure ([13]; Fig. 1), the P1 phenyl ring occupies the S

  The correlation in the increase of BADH mRNA, protein levels, and enzyme activity, demonstrate that oxidation of betaine aldehyde by BADH is primordial to regulate the GB accumulation during physiological cardiac hypertrophy induced by pregnancy, this implies a major role because GB levels enhance c

  COPD is almost unheard of in individuals less than 40 years of age (even among heavy smokers), 1 in 10 lifetime never-smokers and 1 in 3 develop COPD by age 75 [26], unquestionably, COPD is an age-related disorder. This notion of accelerated ageing of COPD is supported by animal models, which demons

  2024-11-06

  

  The fact that the α1-BPloopAsn141 regains its α-Btx binding with a Kd similar to that of the wild type α1 ECD [18], suggests that the AChBP Cys-loop does not interfere with the correct conformation of the mutant ECD. Data from analogous mutants of the human neuronal α7 subunit ECD showed improved li

  The altered frequency of CD4+ T INCB28060 in 5-LO−/− mice led us to hypothesize that these leukocytes could be exerting a primary control of the inflammatory response. In fact, the lack of 5-LO resulted in the accumulation of CD4+CD25+ cells expressing Treg markers. It is plausible to speculate tha

  5-LOX in colorectal cancer Colorectal cancer (CRC) like other malignancies exhibits an overexpression of 5-LOX. Ohd et al. (Ohd et al., 2003) revealed in a study that malignant colon tissues overexpress 5-LOX activity and retain elevated levels of inflammatory mediators, leukotrienes. Additionall

  2024-11-06

  

  Pompe disease is accompanied by the deficiency of the lysosomal α-1,4-glucosidase that makes the vomitoxin unable to hydrolyze glycogen to glucose, thereby resulting in the accumulation of glycogen in lysosomes, especially in skeletal muscles and cardiac tissues. This accumulation results in the st

  Aurora kinases were initially identified as protein kinases essential for error-free chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis. Aurora A appears to control premetaphase events, such as bipolar spindle assembly 3, 4, with Aurora B and C directing metaphase and postmetaphase events, including

  Physiology of the apelin pathway Role of apelin in heart disease Both apelin and apelin receptor null mice manifested moderate reduction in cardiac contractile function under basal conditions and their exercise capacity was markedly reduced (Table 1) [56]. Apelin has direct effects on the prop

  2024-11-06

  

  Several MAP kinases are involved in the signal transduction pathways that lead to the upregulations of inflammatory mediators. Moreover, transcriptional activations of STATs are regulated by MAP kinases, as evidenced by reports that p38 MAPK is necessary for the S727 phosphorylation of STATs (Kovari

  Furthermore, because most of foods and beverages have been consumed after processing, researchers have focused on the effects of processing (e.g. blanching, cooking, drying, cooling, freezing, high-pressure treatment, pulsed electric field) on total antioxidant capacity of foods. In general, there w
