  2021-12-20

  

  Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus), a social rodent species, are widely distributed in the typical steppe, desert steppe and desert habitats of northern China, Mongolia, and Trans-Baikal region of Russia. In wild, the recorded maximum lifespan (apparent longevity) was 29.5 months for female M

  Glucocorticosteroid receptor structure and function The gene encoding for the human GR is composed of 9 exons (Oakley and Cidlowski, 2011) and the translated protein is described as having 4 functional regions. The protein contains a highly conserved central DNA-binding domain (DBD) or C-domain,

  2021-12-20

  

  Since the late 1940s, synthetic GC (e.g. prednisone, prednisolone, dexamethasone) have been used extensively in the treatment of chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and asthma, and for their immunosuppressant action in preventing organ rejection post transplantation. Cortico

  2021-12-20

  

  To identify inhibitors of the Hh/GLI signaling pathway from natural resources, we have recently reported the successful construction of a cell-based screening assay system for the Hh/GLI signaling pathway (Fig. 1). This is an assay using a GLI-dependent luciferase reporter in human keratinocyte cell

  2021-12-20

  

  Contradictory results have been described regarding the role of the Shh pathway during vertebrate skeletal myogenesis. Different studies have shown that Shh can increase or inhibit myoblasts proliferation and terminal muscle differentiation, depending on the experimental model [[1], [2], [3], [4], [

  2021-12-20

  

  The modulation of the activity of the Gardos channel by the chemokines IL-8 and RANTES was observed in the Duffy-positive but not in the Duffy-negative SSRBCs. This finding is consistent with the previous observation on normal red blood sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator (AARBCs) described

  Indeed, another recent study found that the HR-like cell death triggered in rice epidermal cells by an avirulent or incompatible isolate of the fungal pathogen , which causes blast disease, is a ferroptotic cell death phenomenon (). Similar to the heat shock example given above, elevated levels of

  2021-12-20

  

  Introduction RNA splicing occurs in the nucleus when noncoding sequences (introns) are removed from the pre-mRNA transcript and coding sequences (exons) are joined to form a mature mRNA [1,2]. This reaction is catalyzed by a multiprotein complex called spliceosome. The spliceosome consists of five

  2021-12-20

  

  Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor type tyrosine kinase that can further cooperatively interact with receptor tyrosine kinase signaling to regulate adhesion, migration, survival, proliferation, polarization, and differentiation [12]. Following activation, phosphorylated extracellular regu

  In vitro studies have described the kinetic parameters of the KDM4A catalytic site (cKDM4A) (Figure 1C) (23); the kcat/KM (kcat as the catalytic constant and KM as the Michaelis constant) values represent how fast the enzyme reacts with the substrate once it encounters the substrate, where the value

  Thus, both in Drosophila and mammals, the Hippo pathway responds to cell–cell junctions via an apical NF2/Mer-containing complex. Indeed, Hippo signalling and NF2 are required for contact inhibition of growth in cell culture, which is thought to reflect an in vivo function as a sensor of tissue crow

  2021-12-18

  

  Toxoplasma gondii is an exceptionally tractable apicomplexan parasite that expresses a limited yet representative subset of apicomplexan cyclase orthologs, making it an ideal model for investigating cyclic nucleotide signaling in Apicomplexa. Of the five putative nucleotide cyclases, only TgACα1 and

• Lipid sensing GPCRs as therapeutic targets

  2021-12-18

  

  Lipid-sensing GPCRs as therapeutic targets G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprise a family of cell-surface receptors that respond to various extracellular stimuli such as light, odorants, neurotransmitters and hormones, and trigger a cascade of intracellular signaling. There are approximately

  In conclusion, GPR120 inhibits and GPR40 enhances the cell motile activity stimulated by TPA in melanoma cells, while MMP-9 activation was reduced by GPR40. In contrast, GPR40 negatively regulated cellular functions of fibrosarcoma BX-912 synthesis [11]. Taken together, it is suggested that opposite

  2021-12-18

  

  The mechanisms by which NEIL1 and NEIL3 excise bulky adducts and unhook ICLs are unclear. Structures of NEIL1 are available only in complex with DNA containing small lesions 79., 80., 81., and the single available structure of NEIL3 lacks DNA (Figure 5D,E) [73]. Nonetheless, comparison of the two st
