  Our studies also reveal the normal functional roles of the MIR. Interaction between the MIR loop and the N-terminal α helix nucleates conformational maturation of AChR subunits, thereby promoting assembly of mature AChRs [52], [55]. This interaction in homologous parts of all AChR subunits appears t

  Regarding androgens, it is known that they are also essential for reproductive success (Walters et al., 2010). At the molecular level, their effects are produced mainly by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), arising from the conversion of testosterone by the enzyme 3-oxo-5-alpha-steroid-4-dehydrogenase (enco

  2024-09-04

  

  Macrophage polarization is linked to activation of the ligand-dependent transcription factor PPARγ. Recently, Odegaard et al. demonstrated with a macrophage-specific deletion of PPARγ in mice that alternative macrophage activation is impaired [14]. We provided evidence that contact to apoptotic olig

  2024-09-04

  

  Thus one possible target for CRPC treatment is the enzyme 17,20-lyase, which plays a crucial role in androgen biosynthesis. This is because inhibition of 17,20-lyase would be expected to decrease serum androgen levels secreted not only by the testes but also by the adrenal glands.7, 8, 9 In recent

  Axl has been reported to mediate cell-cell adhesion and sphere-growth [11], [18] and to be important for metastasis to secondary organs [12], [14], [20]. We found an Axl-dependent CCRCC-ability of sphere-formation and repopulation after non-adhesive growth. Axl-inhibited cells could not attach to ea

  2024-09-04

  

  AT2 signaling is distinct to that of AT1 (Kaschina and Unger, 2003). As shown here, opposite to the stimulating effect of AT1 signaling, it inhibits apelin secretion. Activation of AT2 receptor, which is also G-protein coupled, is known to decrease cAMP and cGMP levels by inhibiting adenylyl cyclase

  Prostate cancer and resistance to AR targeting treatment The AR plays a pivotal role in the development, differentiation, homeostasis and secretory function of the normal prostate (Wilson, 2011). The AR is also a key player in many phases of prostate carcinogenesis (Huggins et al., 1941, Scher an

  The advantage of active immunotherapy is long-term antibody production from short-term drug administration at limited cost. Conversely, immune response may be inconsistent or lacking, especially in older individuals, and adverse reactions—if immunologically based—may also be long-lasting. Initial ex

  Introduction Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a clinicopathologic spectrum of liver pathologies associated with excessive accumulation of fat in the liver. This spectrum is continuous but can be graded based on pathological features; in increasing severity, these are: bland steatosis,

  In past, Zebra fish (Danio rerio) has emerged as a suitable model for early vertebrate development, and a number of targeted mutations in the zebrafish genome led to phenotypic alterations that resemble human diseases [34]. A 12-LOX in Zebra fish has been cloned and knock down of this zf12-LOX enzym

  Gliomas and Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) are key metabolic enzymes involved in regulation of glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathways as well as in the detoxification of endogenous and exogenous aldehydes, regulating cell function and homeostasis. ALDHs play important roles in

  As an alternative to chronic receptor blockade, we have been targeting adenosine kinase (ADK) – an astrocyte-based enzyme that catalyses the phosphorylation of adenosine, as a means to modify Fmoc-Ala-OMe adenosinergic signalling (Boison, 2006, Etherington et al., 2009). Up-regulating ADK facilitate

  Introduction The lysosomal storage disorder Gaucher disease (Mendelian Inheritance in Man, OMIM #230800) results from the recessively inherited deficiency of lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (GCase, EC 3.2.1.45), caused by mutations in the gene GBA1 (MIM# 606463) located on chromosome 1q21.
