  Introduction Prostaglandins are important local mediators in a host of reproductive processes including ovulation, fertilization, embryonic development, luteal regression, and parturition (Ushikubi et al., 2000). Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is among the more versatile prostanoids, and its effects app

  Acidosis has lethal consequences, but alkalosis (due to chloride depletion, potassium depletion, and excess mineralocorticoid) is not tolerated as well (Luke and Galla, 2012). In this regard, efforts to restore pH to normal physiological level, in the most benign way should be the goal of researcher

  In conclusion, we demonstrated phenoconversion of CYP3A in stable kidney transplant recipients, and that higher plasma indoxyl sulfate concentrations in these subjects may be involved in the phenomenon. The present findings suggest that dose adjustment of drugs metabolized by CYP3A may be needed in

  We have previously reported the characterization of A-127722, a novel, non-peptide endothelin antagonist that displays very high affinity binding (K=69 pM) with a more than 1000-fold greater affinity for human endothelin ETA than ETB receptor. Although A-127722 is >1000-fold more selective for endot

  In conclusion, our findings suggested that EP4 receptor activation triggers apoptosis in B-cell lymphoblasts. Our results also showed that EP4 receptor engagement inactivates NF-κB, which, in turn, sensitizes Ramos APETx2 to apoptosis induced by chemotherapeutic agents. EP4 receptor agonists are cu

  Results Discussion The importance of mitochondria for the initiation and progression of tumorigenesis is now emerging. It is evident that, despite the well-known Warburg effect, tumors have active mitochondrial bioenergetic metabolism (Marin-Valencia et al., 2012, Hensley et al., 2016). Disrup

  2019-08-13

  

  The aberrant methylation of genes that suppress tumorigenesis appears to occur early in tumor development and increase progressively, eventually leading to the malignant phenotype [35]. Genes involved in every step of tumorigenesis can be silenced by this epigenetic mechanism. Hypermethylation of pr

  This review focuses on the atomic basis of CRM1-mediated nuclear export. There are now 27 crystal structures of CRM1 in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) (www.rcsb.org) [64]. Collectively, this large body of work explains various aspects of CRM1 function. Here we summarize the structure–function studies t

  During the past three decades, platinum-based DNA-alkylating agents have been employed in the treatment of various cancers [14]. Oxaliplatin is currently used as a first-line treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC) [15]. Unfortunately, a large portion of CRC patients receiving oxaliplatin-based chemot

  Materials and methods Results Discussion The first DGAT1 gene was described in the mouse in 1998 [28], and a few years later DGAT2 was identified from the oleaginous fungus Mortierella ramanniana[29]. Although both of them are known as the primary enzymes for de novo TAG biosynthesis, they

  While agnathans appear to have reduced their Ednr repertoire to the Ednra gene (that may have been amplified in the Arctic lamprey), gnathostomes in general have been relatively inert to Ednr gene loss. Strikingly, the only Ednr gene that has been lost repeatedly is EdnrB2 (lost in therian mammals,

  What would be the possible off-target effects of enhancing Ndfip1 to control T cell responses? Increasing Ndfip1 activity could limit cytokine production in macrophages, where it has been shown to function in mouse BMDMs to degrade Tak1 and downregulate NFκB signaling [108]. Whether Ndfip1 regulates

  Since the interaction between the E2 and E3 is weak and transient, it has been difficult to identify novel interactions between specific E2/E3 complexes [59], [64]. Here we used a modified bait consisting of the Mulan RING domain fused to one of the four E2s isolated in our screen and expressed in y
