  Introduction The COMT gene is located on chromosomal band 22q11.2, extends over 28 kb, contains six exons, and encodes for catechol-O-methyl-transferase (Weinshilboum and Raymond, 1977; Grossman et al., 1992; Lundström et al., 1995; Bearden et al., 2005). This enzyme plays a major role in regulatio

  What is the predominant mechanism underlying the benefits of udenafil, i.e. the vascular vs. myocardial effect? Lewis et al. suggested that the benefit of sildenafil in HFrEF would be derived from augmented RV systolic function that mainly results from pulmonary vasodilation, suggestive of the ‘vasc

  2019-11-08

  

  Initially, studies of GPCRs predominantly assessed the signalling pathways downstream of receptors on the cell surface. There is now an understanding that GPCRs can localize to and signal from various intracellular compartments, such as the nucleus (reviewed in [40]). These intracellular pools of re

  In this regard, some attempts have been made to reduce the presence of those radicals. In presence of fluorine source, it seems that the fluorine atoms can substitute the hydrogen atoms linked to silicon atoms, forming Si-F bonds with a higher bonding cantharidin (536 kJ mo1−1) than the Si-H bonding

  Four-μm thick sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples from uterine cervical cancers were cut with a microtome and dried overnight at 37 °C on a silanized-slide (Dako, Carpentaria, CA, USA). The protocol of the universal Dako Labeled Streptavidin–Biotin kit (Dako) was followed for

  Introduction Neuropathic pain occurs in approximately one-third of patients with diabetes and is refractory to currently available analgesic drugs (Abbott et al., 2011). This painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is associated with elevated levels of methylglyoxal (MG; a reactive glucose metabolite) an

  In conclusion, our study has demonstrated that PGE2 stimulates expression of survivin in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Although there are 4 subtypes of EP receptors, the EP1 receptor appears to be the predominant receptor that regulates PGE2-induced expression of survivin, mainly through trans-act

  2019-11-07

  

  The cytoplasmic domain of classical cadherins is highly conserved and can interact with different cytosolic proteins. Typically this domain is associated with catenin family members, including p120 catenin, β-catenin, and α-catenin, which form a cadherin-catenin complex (Fig. 1). The catenin family

  More recent studies have correlated sPLA2-V with alternative macrophage activation (M2) in human and murine macrophages [149,150]. sPLA2-V expression was induced during both human and mouse interleukin-4–mediated activation of macrophages in vitro, and its absence impaired macrophage activation in v

  In conclusion, over-expression of Stokesia epoxygenase (SlEPX) in soybean seeds led to some unusual seed phenotypes. These effects can be overcome by coexpression of Vernonia DGATs (VgDGAT1 & 2). The DGATs can specifically transfer vernolic Baicalin into TAG, largely reducing vernolic acid levels in

  The attachment of ubiquitin to RTKs, such as EGFR, mediates efficient delivery through the endosome-lysosome system for proteolysis. In this way, RTK degradation enables cessation of signal transduction. A recent siRNA screen identified a number of USPs that can significantly modulate EGFR levels an

  Mulan is a mitochondrial protein and is exclusively localized in the OMM with its RING domain facing the cytosol [14]. Based on this topology, Mulan can provide a link between molecular events in the mitochondria and cytoplasm. Mulan has been implicated in various processes including: mitochondrial

  Further indirect evidence supporting an important role of DPP-4 in the modulating the actions of both incretins comes from the observations that analogues of GLP-1 and GIP, modified to be resistant to DPP-4 cleavage, were subsequently shown to have greater metabolic stability in vivo which was assoc
