  2021-01-07

  

  Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) are potent inflammatory mediators closely associated with cerebral ischemic injury. CysLTs induce inflammatory responses mediated by at least two different CysLT receptors (CysLT1R and CysLT2R) (Bäck et al., 2011, Singh et al., 2010). It has been reported that the Cys

  These cytokines, except for TGF-β can also increase CysLT1R mRNA expression. We further demonstrated that TGF-β and IL-13 were able to increase the proliferation of human BSMC in response to LTD4. BSMC proliferation was CysLT1R-dependent, given that Montelukast ablated this effect. Taken together, o

  Analysis of DNA fragmentation. We followed a modified Hirt extraction procedure for analysis of DNA fragmentation. Cells were suspended in TNE buffer (1M NaCl, 20mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.4, 2mM EDTA, and 0.6% SDS) at a density of 106 cells/ml and incubated overnight on ice. The next day, cellular debris wa

  Although, in vitro and in vivo immunosuppressive effects of female steroids have been described in fish (Yamaguchi et al., 2001, Law et al., 2001), their mode of action was not evaluated in detail. Consequently, it is of considerable interest to investigate the intracellular pathways that regulate t

  The estrogen receptors: History and discovery In 1958, Elwood Jensen discovered the estrogen receptor, the first receptor ever encountered for any hormone, by showing that reproductive female tissues were able to uptake estrogen from the circulation by binding to proteins. He later demonstrated t

  Introduction Proteins play an important role in cellular functions; however, being and remaining properly folded is necessary for their function. Understanding the stability of the protein is necessary to investigate the folding of proteins, as well as their conformation, functions and interactions

  The inhibition of NPY cleavage may also contribute to the effect of gliptins on blood pressure [123]: NPY is an agonist of Y1 receptor mediating peripheral vasoconstriction. Interestingly, blood pressure in adult SHRs was not affected by single dose administration of a specific DPP-4i whereas blood

UV light causes different types of DNA damage through indirect and

  DNA damage represents a persistent threat to genomic stability. A critical link exists between DNA mutation, chromosomal rearrangement and cancer development. In myeloid malignancies, various chromosomal translocations and/or mutations increased cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), followed by DS

  In laboratory strains of Escherichia coli, three mechanisms of repair for alkylated bases are known. The first involves constitutively expressed Ogt and inducible Ada methyltransferases, directly removing methyl groups from O6-methylguanine (O6meG) and O4-methylthymine (O4meT) [1], [2], [3], [4].

  Cdc42, which is involved in filopodium formation, and Rac1, which is involved in lamellipodium formation, engage in cross-talk with one another [25,26,30,31]. In general, filopodium formation precedes lamellipodium formation, and filopodium formation (Cdc42 activity) suppresses lamellipodium formati
