  2022-05-04

  

  Introduction l-Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) that contributes not only to fast synaptic neurotransmission, but also to complex physiological processes like memory, learning, plasticity, and neuronal cell death [30], [81]. Glutamate is

  Gap junctions, hemichannels and connexins: Molecular characteristics and function Cell-to-cell communication is of extreme importance in tissue homeostasis, which is maintained by transmission of regulatory signals (Fig. 1). Intercellular communication via gap junctions (GJs) represents one of th

  Cytokines and hormones influence both gap junctions [106] and endocrine activity in the pituitary [3]. Long-term treatment (2 h) with the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (Il-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) transiently increases Cx43 expression and cell coupling in TtT/GF beta-Nicoti

  2022-05-04

  

  Interestingly, transgenic mice that constitutively express active FXR in the intestine (iVP16FXR) are protected from chemically-induced and genetically-induced cholestasis. This protective effect is attributed to the induction of intestinal FGF15 and repression of hepatic Cyp7a1 expression, downregu

  Medium- to long-chain fatty acids Medium- to long-chain fatty acids impart a wide range of physiological effects. Medium-chain and long-chain fatty acids have 6–12 carbons and >12 carbons, respectively. As the energy source, these fatty acids are supplied primarily by food intake, biosynthesis, a

  Introduction Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a bile Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-OPfp regulated nuclear receptor highly expressed in the liver, intestine, kidney and adrenal glands in rodents.1, 2, 3, 4 FXR regulates transport proteins, the bile salt export pump (BSEP) and the organic solute transporter α (OSTα)

  2022-04-29

  

  Many extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins are ligands and regulators of integrin/FAK signaling and are involved in various aspects of cancer progression, including growth, survival, invasion, and metastasis (Lu et al., 2012). Tubulointerstitial nephritis antigen-like 1 (Tinagl1), a secreted extracell

  Smoking is strongly and consistently associated with periodontitis in the general population. In our study we detected a similar pattern in patients with HIV infection: smokers had a higher DPSI score compared to non-smokers. The exact cause of smoking as a risk factor for periodontitis in the gener

  Two classes of histones demethylases have thus far been identified: the Jumonji C (JmjC) domain-containing proteins and the amine oxidase domain (AOD)-containing proteins. They have distinct enzymatic mechanisms and substrate specificity. The JmjC domain is conserved through evolution and belongs to

  Genome-wide binding and transcriptome analyses demonstrate that Fbxl10 directly binds the Areg, Mdk, Lmnb1, Thbs1, Mgp and Cxcl12 locus and thereby might influences the expression of these migration associated genes. The expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like molecule Amphiregulin (Areg)

  Discussion By using ultra-deep sequencing, we conducted a thorough assessment of HCV-NS3 protease variants in chronic PI-naïve patients infected with HCV-1a and HCV-1b under telaprevir-based triple therapy at baseline and after 4weeks of treatment. Several synonymous and non-synonymous substituti

  Mathematical models play an important role in understanding and predicting the dynamic process of HBV infection. In the 1990s, Nowak et al. proposed a basic model to analyze the effect of antiviral treatment on reducing viral loads (Nowak et al., 1996). Since then, many different mathematical models

  Cysteine (Cys) residues are frequently found to be highly conserved within functional, regulatory, catalytic, or binding sites of proteins. Thiol or thiolate chemistry imparts active sites with unique properties like nucleophilicity, high affinity metal binding, and disulfide bond assisted multimeri
