  Considering that TGF-β1 plays a pivotal role in inflammation, renal fibrosis, cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, it has been viewed as a vital mediator in kidney disease [49,50]. Studies have demonstrated that TGF-β1 is upregulated in both human and experimental kidney diseases [51,52]. TG

  2022-05-17

  

  Etoposide (VP-16), a semisynthetic podophyllotoxin derivative agent, is widely used as a chemotherapic treatment for many cancers (Hande, 1998). VP-16 has been known that its activity is mediated by the interaction with topoisomerase II (an ATP-dependent nuclear enzyme) which regulates DNA topology

  One previously unreported discovery is that Ptgds is alternatively spliced, such that partial removal of exon 3 correlates with higher levels of regeneration. The absence of exon 3 likely affects the functionality of the final product. The structure of Ptgds is that of the typical lipocalin β-barrel

  Surrogate ligands for GPR35 Although identification of endogenously produced chemicals with agonist action at GPR35 is of considerable importance, the ligands described above are far from ideal to probe the roles of GPR35. Surrogate ligands are therefore required. Until recently, the key GPR35 ag

  The transporter was successfully expressed in MSCs and HEK 293 cells. In both cell types, the expression of YFP-EAAT2 was confirmed by immunological staining and flow cytometry. The functionality of the transporter was determined by [3H]glutamate uptake assays, and the blood glutamate-grabbing activ

  The post-translational modification O-GlcNAcylation is also dependent upon glucose fluctuations. O-GlcNAcylation has been linked to insulin resistance and glucose toxicity in diabetes and its comorbidities [11]. O-GlcNAcylation is a dynamic modification tightly regulated by the nutritional sensor UD

  2022-05-16

  

  Introduction The glucagon receptor (GCGR) is a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed mainly in the liver and kidney. Upon glucagon binding, it activates the stimulatory G protein (Gs) and increases cAMP level, subsequently transducing glucagon signaling involved in glucose, amino acids and lipid m

  Newt GHS-R1a proteins expressed in a mammalian cell were able to bind homologous newt ghrelin, heterologous rat and bullfrog ghrelin, and a peptidyl GHS-R1a agonist, GHSRP-6, with inducing intracellular Ca signaling. This indicates that the identified cDNA encodes the ghrelin receptor from a view of

  2022-05-16

  

  Ghrelin receptors in non-mammals are reportedly more “complicated/complex and diverse” than in mammals, having additional paralogs and splice variants (Kaiya et al., 2014). Several teleost fish GHS-Rs have been identified; however, functional characterization has been conducted in only a few (see, K

  Given the important role of Cx43 in maintaining the function of gap junctions, to investigate the effects of stress on Cx43 may be an important step towards understanding the mechanism underlying CUS-induced dysfunction of gap junctions. Corticosterone (CORT), as an important stress hormone, has bee

  Optimization of the tetrahydroindazole series led to the discovery of two moderately potent γ-secretase modulators, 2-cyclobutane and 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropane which were subsequently evaluated in a kinetic aqueous solubility assay. Unfortunately, neither analog demonstrated improved solubility ()

  In the present studies, we found that genistein did not antagonize fMLF-induced Ca2+ mobilization in FPR1-HL60 SP2509 and human neutrophils. Thus, the previously reported inhibitory effect of genistein on fMLF-stimulated degranulation, aggregation, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in hu
