  Interestingly, Carver, Johnson, and Kim (2016) investigated a polymorphism in the OPRM1 μ-opioid receptor gene for its role in sensitivity to social contexts. The G allele of this polymorphism was associated with higher levels of sensitivity. The authors found significant interactions, e.g. the nega

  2020-02-17

  

  The COMT gene maps to chromosome 22q11.2 (Grossman et al., 1992) and has two protein isoforms. The differences between S-COMT and longer MB-COMT are in the N-termini, which use alternative translation initiation sites and promoters. These two isoforms display different affinity and capacity for COM

  The present study is the first time to investigate the effect of piperine on intestinal sterol transporters and enzymes in the small intestine. NPC1L1 is a sterol transporter responsible for taking up cholesterol from the lumen to enterocytes (Davis et al., 2004). ACAT2 is an enzyme, which esterifie

  Roles of ERRγ in Physiology and Disease Concluding Remarks and Future Perspectives Over the last decade, the generation of tissue-specific ERRγ transgenic or knockout mice and the use of synthetic ligands have rapidly advanced our understanding of the roles of ERRγ in cellular functions, altho

  To develop novel EPAC inhibitors, Zhou and co-workers optimized the HTS hit as the chemical lead. After modifications of the substituents on the phenyl ring or C6-position of compound , compound () was identified to be the more potent compound in this series with an IC value of 4.0µM (EPAC2).

  The key difference between the membrane zymography and classical measurements of enzyme activities in soil slurries is the enzyme-substrate accessibility. Classical enzyme assays maximize access of substrate to all potentially reactive enzyme sites by ensuring sample destruction and detachment follo

  In conclusion, we have identified Ednra as a downstream direct target of Hoxa9 and Meis1. Upregulation of Ednra has a role in the progression of Hoxa9+Meis1-induced leukemia and targeting Ednra together with other chemotherapies may have therapeutic benefits for leukemia [30]. Ednra inhibitors in th

  The purposes of this study is to develop an experimental model of CysLT2 receptor-mediated LTC4-induced lung air-trapping in guinea pigs using S-hexyl GSH, and to clarify the mechanism underlying response to such trapping using montelukast, a CysLT1 receptor antagonist, BayCysLT2RA, a CysLT2 recepto

  To overcome problems with the biochemical reconstitution of these heterodimeric cytokines fusion strategies linking both subunits together have been proposed inspired by the “hyper-IL-6” [28]. Much like fusing a protein to a solubility enhancing protein such as MBP or SUMO, fusing two subunits of a

  2020-02-14

  

  Soluble receptors have been shown to be important and common regulators of many cytokines within the immune system, including IL-1, IL-6, IFNγ, TNF-α, GM-CSF, G-CSF and others (Fernandez-Botran, 1991, Heaney, Golde, 1998). We previously described a novel soluble receptor, sCSF-1R, that to date has o

  2020-02-14

  

  Besides being an energy storing tissue, adipose tissue acts as an active endocrine organ that secretes a number of biologically active adipokines involved in multiple physiological processes such as inflammation and lipid and glucose metabolism, with direct and indirect effects on reproduction [15,1

  An increased CK2 activity was found in septal neuronal V5 Epitope dissected from rat embryos after hypoglycemia [36]. These data indicated that CK2 activity is not only regulated by insulin but also by the glucose concentration. One essential step in insulin action is the binding of the hormone to

  Further proof is required as to whether ER membrane receptors play a role in the maintenance of bone mass. It is also possible that other non-genomic pathways may be involved. Nevertheless, whatever the precise mechanism of action of estrogens may be, the imbalance between bone formation and resorpt

  Previously, we have described increased expression of both cytokine and chemokine mRNA (e.g. MCP-5 and fractalkine) in the left ventricle of male EP4-KO mice with dilated cardiomyopathy [2]. Takayama et al. [31] have shown that PGE2 potently inhibits cytokine/chemokine secretion (MCP-1, interleukin
