  Tylophora atrofolliculata is a centuries-used folk medicine for the treatment of rheumatism in China (Jiangsu New Medical College, 1977). One group of its bioactive components is phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids, which have been demonstrated as lead compounds of anti-tumor agents in our previous stu

  Whereas binding of activated RhoA to the PH domains of the RhoGEFs is proposed to mediate positive feedback regulation (Chen et al., 2010b, Medina et al., 2013), the sequestration of p190RhoGEF by activated Rac1 reveals a novel putative physiological role, that is to utilize Rac1 to directly drive r

  2022-01-14

  

  DNA methylation is a kind of epigenetic modifications that can be described as a heritable alteration in gene expression, without any changes in the DNA sequence. Recent evidences suggest that the regulation of DNA methylation status is a frequent and early event in prostate carcinogenesis. For exam

  2022-01-14

  

  The isoenzyme hGSTP1-1 is an attractive drug target due to its high levels of disease association (target validation) and druggability (target tractability) properties [5,6,[17], [18], [19], [20], [21]]. hGSTP1-1 functions as a homodimer protein [18]. Each monomer has two domains, an α/β domain (N-t

  Positive regulation of gene retinoic acid receptor by Nrf2 Repression of Nrf2 by Keap1 Because many xenobiotic inducers of NQO1 and GST enzyme activities contain a thiol-reactive electrophilic moiety (i.e. are soft electrophiles), Paul Talalay and colleagues predicted in 1988 that they would

  Biochemical assays have provided evidence that prolonged exposure to GPR35 agonists can induce GPR35 internalization [2], [4], [11], [13]. Our finding that neuronal excitability decreased regardless of whether the slices were superfused for a few minutes or incubated for a few hours with GPR35 agoni

  Molecular modeling studies also revealed insignificant differences in ligand-receptor interaction energies between R and S enantiomers of LPCs or their 2-OMe-analogues, suggesting that enantiomers of a particular structure should exert similar GPR119-mediated biological effect. Indeed, when studied

  Discovery of GPR109A The murine niacin receptor, protein upregulated in macrophages by interferon-γ (PUMA-G), was identified as a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed in adipocytes and spleen [22], [23]. This finding suggested a role of this receptor in macrophage function [24]. In 2003, t

  Xie et al.

  Materials and methods Results In this study we re-examined the kinetics of ET transport and tested the ability of various suggested substrates of OCNT1 to inhibit ET uptake. Using a native ET transporter expressed in the human HeLa cell line ET was found to be taken up with a Km of 51 μM and V

  That MSCs release IL-6 upon LPS stimulation or other stressful stimuli like H2O2 [43] is well-documented [44]. However, there are conflicting reports on the potential effects of this cytokine in stroke. Some studies have found that the external administration of IL-6 in ischemic animal models leads

  In conclusion, enhanced glucagon action of the beta cell results in improved beta cell function after glucose stimulation, but simultaneously dissociated responses to both glucose-dependent and non-glucose secretagogues evolve. This shows that the glucagon receptor is complexly involved in beta cell

  The usefulness of GIP-R antagonism for the treatment of obesity-diabetes has been revealed in numerous studies employing knockout or chemical blockade of GIP-R signalling.*88, 89, *90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, *97 For example, sub-chronic daily administration of (Pro3)GIP to ob/ob mice results in sig

  Introduction Stroke is the second cause of death worldwide and the first cause of acquired motor disability in adults [1], [2]. In sub-Saharan Africa, stroke is the first cause of admission in neurology departments [3]. In Cameroon, the in-hospital mortality of stroke is estimated at 26.8% [4]. A
