  Dysregulation of glutamate transporter expression and function Aberrant glutamate transporter function and expression are associated with various neurological disorders. Therefore, understanding the underlying mechanisms of EAAT1/2 expression may provide therapeutic targets for treating neurologi

  A majority of investigations of the GCK-PFK-2/FBPase-2 interaction have taken place within cells. Immunofluorescence studies in several fixed cell lines indicate that GCK colocalizes with PFK-2/FBPase-2 in the cytoplasm following overexpression [[68], [69], [70]]. Live cell imaging conducted on NHS-

  One important discovery of our study is the identification of a pharmacological mechanism for the macrolide antibiotic erythromycin (EM) in promoting joint health. EM is a commonly used antibiotic that directly binds bacterial ribosomes to inhibit protein synthesis [66]. Although EM-like macrolide b

  The modulation of the activity of the Gardos channel by the chemokines IL-8 and RANTES was observed in the Duffy-positive but not in the Duffy-negative SSRBCs. This finding is consistent with the previous observation on normal red blood Fenofibrate (AARBCs) described by Rivera et al. [10]. Altogeth

  Therapeutic approaches exploiting Cx43 function Due to their potential role in cancer metastasis, attempts have been made to alter connexin function to inhibit cancer growth. Therapeutic approaches include Cx43 peptide mimetics, Cx43 inhibitors, chemical agents capable of enhancing Cx43 function,

  2022-01-27

  

  LXRs are physiological regulators of cholesterol and lipid metabolism and influence glucose metabolism. In addition, they have been shown to repress transcription of certain pro-inflammatory genes (Jakobsson et al., 2012; Ogawa et al., 2005; Terasaka et al., 2005). Thus, LXRs can either activate or

  Introduction Hepatocyte injury initiates and facilitates inflammation in the course of liver disease progression. Thus, understanding the regulatory basis for sensing and responding to damage-associated inflammatory processes in the liver’s parenchymal cells is a primary issue in liver pathophysi

  According to the World Health Organization, the average global intake of fat has increased by 20 g per person over the last half-century [21]. However, not all fats are the same and it is now well established that saturated and unsaturated fats, as well as trans fats, can act in opposing ways to inf

  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by progressive obstruction of airflow, not fully reversible, which is accompanied by a chronic inflammatory response, induced by deleterious particles or gases, in airways and lung parenchyma. The most important risk factor for COPD is

  Methods Results It is well known that during the onset of vasoconstriction there is an increase in intracellular Ca2+ which activates myosin light-chain kinase followed by cycling of actin-myosin cross-bridges in VSMCs. Recently, it has been recognized that Rufinamide polymerization is also i

  Ning et al. showed that LPC 18:1 appeared to increase insulin release through both GPR119-dependent and -independent mechanisms (Ning et al., 2008). In our study, we have shown that not only GPR119 but also GPR40 and GPR55 participate in LPC-stimulated insulin secretion (Fig. 4, Fig. 5) and target p

  The effects of C646 on the NF-κB pathway could be explained by the role for p300 that has been described in the regulation of the NF-κB pathway [5]. For instance, acetylations of the p65 NF-κB subunit on lysines 218, 221 and 310 are mediated by the HATs p300 and PCAF [11] and increase transcriptiona
