  2021-07-16

  

  Besides degrading cholesterol, the cholesterol degradation pathway also offers a route to obtain useful starting materials for the production of steroid drugs and hormones. Indeed, steroids are among the most marketed pharmaceuticals with about 300 approved steroid drugs [15] and a worldwide market

  2021-07-16

  

  The cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs) LTC, LTD, and LTE are increased in the airways of asthmatic subjects, with the ability to induce bronchoconstriction, vascular permeability, and mucus secretion., , , , CysLTs are well established as mediators of allergic rhinitis and asthma on the basis of the e

  2021-07-16

  

  The small GTPase Ran regulates karyopherin–cargo interactions and the directionality of karyopherin-mediated transport. Like other Ras-family GTPases, Ran cycles between GTP- and GDP-bound states, and the two surface loops in Ran, referred to as the switch I and switch II loops, undergo significant

  2021-07-15

  

  Bioinformatics analysis for genes encoding proteins (ESR1, IL6, TERT, DNMT3B) showed that NF-kB is one of the transcription factors that might be regulating their expression, especially for IL6, TERT and DNMT3B genes. Previous studies have demonstrated that PA induces NF-kB activation, thus increasi

  The mechanisms by which Cav-1 enhances embryonal tumor progression are currently unknown. Given the documented ability of Cav-1 to drive increased biogenesis of caveolae and accelerate the flow of nutrients (mostly glucose and fatty acids) across the membrane, as observed in particular in adipocytes

  Introduction Mammalian proteases comprise both the peptidases or exopeptidases, which act at the N- or C-terminal positions of polypeptides, and proteinases or endopeptidases, which are capable of cleaving peptide bonds in the central regions of polypeptides. The endopeptidases are classified in

  The central role of DNA-PK in the NHEJ NHEJ can be divided in several steps (Fig. 1A): 1) recognition and binding of Ku at each ends of the DSB following by the assembly of the DNA-PK at the break points and bridging; 2) phosphorylation of the DNA ends by DNA-PKcs; 3) ligation of the ends by DNA

  In glioblastoma, methylation of pMGMT is predictive of the efficacy of temozolomide with an increased survival [22], [23], [24], [25]. As in glioblastoma [24], [26], [27], [28], pMGMT methylation assessed by pyrosequencing (with immunochemistry, IHC) is the most effective and reproducible technique

  What does this mean for cancer therapy? We found that components of the de novo pyrimidine synthesis pathway rarely mutate in cancer, clearly showing its importance. In our experimental models, the pathway, including DHODH itself, was primed to respond when the block in CoQ redox-cycling was removed

  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

  CXC chemokines are primarily expressed in immune organs and the central nervous system: the mouse thymus and spleen (Heesen et al., 1996), chicken bursa (Liang et al., 2001), primate (Macaca mulatta) phorbol (Federsppiel et al., 1993) and cattle locus coeruleus, cerebellum and pons (Rimland et al.,
