  Regulation of plasma ghrelin concentration As described above, ghrelin is primarily produced in the stomach and secreted into the blood stream. Plasma ghrelin does not significantly differ between chronic heart failure (CHF) patients and controls, although plasma ghrelin level is significantly hi

  Previously, we have shown that ghrelin and cannabinoids stimulate hypothalamic AMPK activity (Kola et al., 2005). In contrast, both the orexigenic compounds have inhibitory effects on AMPK activity in the liver and visceral fat (Kola et al., 2005). In this study, we were able to reproduce our previo

  Introduction The period around birth is a risky time for stroke in infants. Ischemic stroke has been diagnosed in about 1/4000 full-term infants (Nelson and Lynch, 2004) and perinatal stroke represents the second most frequent cause of acute seizures in this age group (Levy et al., 1985). Further

• The strict control of Spi expression

  2022-09-17

  

  The strict control of Spi1 expression is critical for proper myeloid cell fate determination, and genetic or epigenetic changes in the Spi1 gene frequently contribute to the leukemogenesis in mice and human. It is has been shown that Spi1 expression is frequently downregulated in human AML patients

• The hyperacetylation of histone proteins

  2022-09-17

  

  The hyperacetylation of histone proteins by HATs is known to be associated with gene activation [51]. In particular, p300, which is a transcription factor having HAT activity, links activators to the transcription machinery at promoters [52]. The p300/CBP complex dynamically regulates hundreds of di

  2022-09-17

  

  Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/neu, also known as CerbB-2, or ERBB-2) is a proto-oncogene located on chromosome 17q21, which encodes a transmembrane protein with tyrosine kinase activity, and belongs to the HER receptor family (EGFR, named also HER1, HER3, and HER4) [6]. HER2 is invo

  Many studies have reported on the association between GST gene polymorphisms and pulmonary disorders but with controversial results [7]. In the present study, on comparing results of GSTP1 gene polymorphism among the studied COPD patient groups, it was found that heterozygote mutation was significa

  The absolute requirement for substrate prephosphorylation raised the possibility that short phosphorylated peptides might serve as selective substrate competitive inhibitors. A set of phosphorylated peptides patterned after known GSK-3 substrates was generated and shown to inhibit GSK-3 in vitro in

  FXR agonists represent an attractive class of drugs for patients with PFIC. Synthetic and semi-synthetic FXR agonists, with higher affinity and potency to activate FXR, have been successfully tested in animal models of cholestasis. In these murine models, the semi-synthetic steroidal FXR ligand obet

  Species specificity of small molecular GPR40 agonists have been reported by Takeda scientist. In the binding pocket of TM5, a Leu186 in human GPR40/FFA1 is replaced with Phe in rat, resulting in dramatic inter-species GPR40 activity discrepancy in certain scaffolds of small molecular GPR40 agonists.

  Application of TIRFM to visualizing exocytosis TIRFM was first used to visualize exocytosis from large secretory granules from chromaffin ODM-201 mg (Steyer et al., 1997). Before that, visualization of secretory organelle was strictly limited to a few exceptions, such as mast cell of mutant mice

  This profound cell-type specificity of G9a/GLP complex modulation of neuronal plasticity is accentuated by studies employing genetic ablation of G9a in dopamine 1 receptor (Drd1)- and dopamine 2 receptor (Drd2)-expressing medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc).

  cAMP/cGMP effector systems in human platelets (PKA, PKG, PDEs) In eukaryotic cells, the effects of intracellular cAMP are mediated by two types of cAMP-dependent protein kinases (PKA type I and II) and cAMP-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factors (EPAC/cAMP-GEF) which activate the RAS GTPas
