  The novel Ghsr-IRES-Cre knock-in mouse line allowed us to deconstruct the involvement of MBH GHSR-expressing neurons in mediating food intake responses using chemogenetic modulation of their neuronal activity. In our studies, hM4Di DREADD virus injections to inhibit GHSR neurons targeted several nuc

  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,

  In addition to the robust intracellular calcium mobilisation, DHA and TUG-891 also induced MMP-9 granules release and superoxide production, supporting a key role of calcium in bovine neutrophil defense responses (Burgos et al., 2011). Pisani et al. (Pisani et al., 2009) described a reduction of bas

  In conclusion, our results showed that FFAR1 can mediate the effect of PIO in attenuating β-cell lipoapoptosis through anti-oxidative stress, which may be related to the activation of the PLCγ-ERK1/2-PPARγ pathway. Our study helps not only to distinguish the role played by FFAR1 in lipotoxicity, but

  Anandamide signaling and cardiovascular function The cardiovascular effects of cannabinoid compounds have been known for a long time. Studies in humans indicate that chronic use of marijuana causes long lasting decrease in blood pressure and heart rate, whereas the acute use increases heart rate

  Conclusions Histone acetylation/deacetylation is a major epigenetic mechanism implicated in the regulation of transcription and various biological processes such as development and gametogenesis from plants to vertebrates. However, despite being well characterized in zebrafish, acetyltransferase

  The increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines in BALF are noted during ALI/ARDS, and the persistent elevation of these mediators may exaggerate systemic or focal inflammatory reaction with a worse outcome. These cytokines, particularly TNF-α and IL-6, play essential roles in ALI [16,17]. The ove

  Based on the in vitro findings summarized here, we posited that, in the intact brain, release of ROS from iron-laden astrocytes to the local neuropil elicits oxidative damage and degeneration of indigent dopaminergic projections and other vulnerable neuronal elements (Schipper, 2001). Of particular

  The Hedgehog signaling pathway (HH pathway hereafter) is vital for development and tissue homeostasis. [4] In recent years, studying the role of the HH pathway in carcinogenesis and cancer stemness has highlighted the HH inhibitors as putative cancer therapeutics [5]. However, clinical application o

  2022-06-08

  

  Carbon monoxide, another key product from the breakdown of heme by HO-1, also plays an important role in the vasculature. Like NO, CO is endogenously derived from the endothelium [68] and can weakly activate sGC by binding to its heme moiety [69]. CO was found to have vasodepressor activity in rats

  Importantly, other aspects of platelet function (aggregation, spreading, in vitro and in vivo thrombosis) important for haemostasis and thrombosis were unaltered in Ral DKO platelets and mice. Beyond haemostasis and thrombosis however, platelets have been implicated in numerous pathophysiological pr

  Despite the association with asthma, it is not surprising that we did not find a relation between the percent predicted FEV1 and SNPs in GSNOR. FEV1 measured on a routine clinic visit is likely to be normal in most asthmatic children. FEV1 in children reflects a complex mix of factors in the growth

  We previously evaluated the immuno-modulatory efficacy of GSNO in different EAE models and reported prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy of GSNO against the clinical disease of EAE [22], [36]. GSNO inhibited the IL-6-induced STAT3 activation (Tyr705 phosphorylation) by S-nitrosylation of the STAT3

  2022-06-08

  

  The activation of AKT and ERK1/2 results in the stabilization and increase in the co-transcriptional function of β-catenin [31], [32], [33]. Here, (R,R′)-MNF was found to reduce the levels of phospho-active AKT and ERK, which, in turn, may regulate the abundance and signaling potential of β-catenin.

  Recently, we suggested that KYNA – an endogenous GPR35 agonist could be produced in a human cornea since we showed the presence of the enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of KYNA – kynurenine aminotransferases I-III in corneal epithelium, stroma and endothelium (). Therefore, these findings provided
