  2019-10-28

  

  Elastase belongs to chymotrypsin family of proteases and it is responsible for the breakdown of elastin and other proteins, such as collagen and fibronectin, which are fundamental for the ECM elastic properties (Imokawa and Ishida, 2015). Misregulations of this enzyme are involved in skin ageing pro

• The human serotonin hydroxytryptamine HT receptor family

  2019-10-28

  

  The human serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) receptor family consists of 14 receptor subtypes to date, which are primarily G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with 5-HT3 being the sole ligand-gated ion channel (Alexander et al., 2017). These receptors are widely distributed in the central and per

• DNA methylation is associated with transcriptional silencing

  2019-10-28

  

  DNA methylation is associated with transcriptional silencing of tumor suppressors or other genes important for normal cellular function and plays an important role in the development of cancer and other diseases (such as breast and colorectal cancers) [19]. DNA methyltransferases (MTases) are a fami

  (A) An “optimized BEI-SEIscore” based on the trends, emerged from the statistical analysis of several optimization studies in pharmaceutical industry (Abad-Zapatero, 2007, Abad-Zapatero and Blasi, 2011). This type of optimized scores has been used in many previous studies. Ki=1nM at 300° K, compare

  2019-10-28

  

  DGAT2 is specifically responsible for endogenous synthesis of TAGs which are then packed into cytosolic LDs in the cytosol for storage and luminal apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing LDs in the ER lumen destined for VLDL secretion [122,127]. DGAT2 can also synthesize TAG using exogenous FAs and suppo

  Furthermore, we explored the effect of PKCζ on SIRT6 phosphorylation. Accumulating data showed that aPKC isoforms are involved in regulating lipid metabolism [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47]. The aPKC activity was reported to play a dominant role in normal insulin signaling by activating PI3

  As expected, the 19-nortestosterone-derived progestins tested were moderate agonists of hAR (C), with EC50s ranging from 2 to 10nM, however all were less potent than the endogenous ligand DHT by at least a factor of 6, with relative potencies ranging from 0.0301 to 0.164. This is in agreement with p

  Then the mechanisms responsible for BPA induced up regulation of ERRγ were further investigated. Recent studies indicated that Akt and MPAK can modulate the protein levels and transcriptional activities of ERRγ (Heckler et al., 2014, Sun et al., 2014). Previous studies also indicated that BPA can ac

  Nimodipine administration also inhibited the eIF2α/ATF4 singnaling which is a crucial evolutionarily conserved adaptive pathway during cellular stresses including hypoxia and ischemia (Evans et al., 2016; Manwani and McCullough, 2013). While, the eIF2a/ATF4 pathway, activated by different forms of s

  One of the critical functions of the product of the AR gene is to activate the expression of target genes. This transactivation activity resides in the N-terminal domain of the protein encoded in exon 1, which contains polymorphic repeats. These trinucleotide repeats, (CAG) and (GGC), encode polyglu
