2021-01-18
The corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) also referred to as corticotropin-releasing hormone, is a key mediator of mammalian endocrine, behavioral, autonomic, and immune responses to stress (Vale et al., 1981, Owens and Nemeroff, 1991, Bale and Vale, 2004). Within the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal

The CPA EoS was presented by Kontogeorgis et al., in 1996 [23]. The proposed equation is composed of two parts (SRK EOS + association term) such that it can well predict the thermodynamic behavior of hydrogen bonding materials as a result of considering the association term. Yakoumis et al. (1997) e

In addition to carbamates, organophosphates are classic inhibitors of cholinesterases. Previous studies with aquatic organisms have demonstrated their sensitivity to such chemicals. For example, individuals of the freshwater fish Colossoma macropomum exposed to the organophosphate dichlorvos, chlorp

Renal injury by cisplatin has been associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis (Francescato et al., 2007, Iseri et al., 2007, Kiymaz et al., 2008, Ueki et al., 2012). Specifically, apoptosis is an important mode of cell death in cisplatin nephrotoxicity, and many studies including

One possible pitfall of using EPAC2 activators in the treatment of T2DM is their potential to increase glucagon levels. As discussed previously, although the ability of EPAC2 to increase glucagon expression and production is controversial, several studies show that this protein increases Gcg mRNA le

O-GlcNAc transferase OGT belongs to the metal-independent GT-B superfamily of glycosyltransferases, which has been well-reviewed previously [14,15]. OGT is an essential gene encoded on the X-chromosome, and it has two main regions: a long N-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) region and a C-t

Protein-protein interactions of LEI/L-DNase II and the control of cell death Evolutionary tips The serpin inhibitory mechanism is extremely well adapted to evolutionary changes because a single amino Cy5 RNA substitution in the RSL can led to the inhibition of a totally different protease. We

The current study demonstrates a link between heme metabolism and mitochondrial Co-I, which deficits instigate abnormalities in the metabolism of heme and its downstream targets both in-vitro in patients and healthy subjects derived LCLs and in-vivo in brains of SZ-rat model. A further study of the

In contrast to inflammatory cytokines, TGF-β has immunosuppressive properties yet is also important for tissue imprinting immune cell function during development [23]. Salivary gland (SG) ILCs, in addition to liver and intestinal intraepithelial ILC1, express markers denoting tissue residency and TG

In the present study, we implemented the dendritic RCA-induced formation of amplifying DNAzyme catalytic labels strategy for sensitive and accurate assay of MTase activity and the detection of DNA methylation. In comparison with the traditional RCA process, the proposed strategy achieved high amplif

DDR2, although normally expressed in SAR131675 with mesenchymal features, has also been reported to enhance EMT. In A549 lung cancer cells, TGFβ1 increases the expression of type I collagen and DDR2. Knocking-down COL1A1 or DDR2 with siRNA is sufficient to inhibit EMT and cell migration induced by

Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) and its subgroup Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) are rare and indolent lymphomas that arise from fully differentiated B cells. The only family of GPCRs that has been well studied in LPL/WM is the chemokin

In an effort to discover additional GPCRs directing the migratory events of responding B cells, we identified Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced gene 2 (EBI2) as a promising candidate. The gene encoding EBI2 (Ebi2, also known as Gpr183) was originally identified together with Ebi1 (Ccr7) as the most h
