  Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease that can be divided in at least two subsets based on the presence of antibodies to citrullinated proteins (ACPAs) [1]. Importantly, such ACPA target proteins [[2], [3], [4], [5]] also represent candidate autoantige

  2021-03-11

  

  The Liver X Receptor-α and -β (LXRs, NR1H3 and NR1H2, respectively) are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily that play a central role in controlling cholesterol homeostasis [9], [10]. In macrophages, LXRs can decrease the cellular sterol burden by inducing expression of the cholesterol efflux

  Localization of D2 receptors in striatum One characteristic of D2Rs that has complicated their study is their expression in multiple neuronal populations within striatum, both pre- and postsynaptically (Beaulieu and Gainetdinov, 2011). In addition to spiny projection neurons (SPNs), which are the

  Acknowledgments The design of polyaromatic molecules able to bind to DNA is of significant importance for the development of anticancer and fluorescent imaging agents. Among them, 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives have received significant attention and have been extensively investigated for their

  Additionally, we analysed the features of apomict and sexual Boechera species DNMT proteins. All DNMT proteins showed highly similar theoretical pI, molecular weight and predicted sub-cellular localization (Table 2). Discussion Identification of the structure and expression levels of DNMTs durin

  An intriguing feature of the pre and postsynaptic processes at the level of the VTA that have been shown to be mediated by CRF2 receptors [9], [34] is that they are exerted only by agonists with high affinity for both CRF2 receptors and CRF-BP. The four endogenous peptides of the CRF system have hig

  2021-03-10

  

  In the present study, we investigated the role played by CRF1 and CRF2 receptors located within the mouse PAG on the anxiogenic and antinociceptive effects produced by local infusion of CRF. To block CRF receptors, we used the selective CRF1 and CRF2 Lonidamine synthesis antagonists, respectively,

  Abha et al. reported Natural coumarinolignoids isolated from the seeds of Cleome viscosa consist of a racemic mixture of cleomiscosins A 19, B 20 and C 21 and were screened for anti-inflammatory activity through mol. docking and QSAR studies by using reported in vivo activity of Swiss albino mice.

  COMT expression, protein level and activity are down regulated by E2. Using estrogen receptor (ER) positive MCF-7 cells, Xie et al. demonstrated an E2 dose dependent (1, 10 and 100 nM) decrease in S-COMT 1.3 kb mRNA that was maximum after 48 h (Xie et al., 1999). A similar decrease was not observed

  Two additional hydrogen-bonds are formed by the -substituted methoxy-group with Ser and Asp. Ser exerts the role of a gate keeper in CK1: Entry of the ATP in the binding-site causes a conformational change into the closed form by Ser, which locks the binding-site and prevents ATP-diffusion out of th

  2021-03-10

  

  The proliferation of CCA cell lines can be stimulated by estrogen and other growth factors (Alvaro et al., 2006; DeMorrow, 2009; Mancino et al., 2009). It has also been reported that estrogen positively modulates cholangiocyte proliferation, which is associated with cholangiopathies found in humans

  Another enzyme class that has emerged as a potential alternative to P450s are the so-called ‘unspecific peroxygenases’ (UPOs). They also contain a heme but are extracellularly expressed fungal enzymes that are often more stable than P450 monooxygenases. Importantly, UPOs use H2O2 instead of O2 as th

  In addition to vasoconstrictor actions (acute effects), ET-1 exerts potent mitogenic actions on vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac myocytes (chronic effects), hence causing vascular and cardiac hypertrophy [19,24,25]. These effects are mediated via stimulation of either ETA or ETB receptors, a

  Introduction Our understanding of how ligands interact with G protein coupled receptors is evolving, particularly the recognition that some have the ability to preferentially activate a subset of intracellular signalling cascades – so called pathway biased ligands [1]. Additionally, it is now acc

  Our previous studies indicate that EBI2 is involved in the regulation of pro-inflammatory responses and inter-cellular communication under pathophysiological conditions such as LPS challenge (Rutkowska et al., 2016b). The data showed that media taken from LPS stimulated astrocytes induces macrophage
