  2020-10-08

  

  Studies also provide evidence that cytokines such as TGF-β, a TH3-type cytokine, may also play a role in airway remodeling. Data obtained by Cohen et al suggest that TGF-β1 can induce human BSMC proliferation by increasing the expression of IGFBP-3. Hence, the mitogenic action of TGF-β1 could be rel

  Materials and methods Results Discussion TP has aroused extensive explorations because of its potent anti-inflammatory, immune-suppressive and antitumor activities. Notwithstanding these, TP has yet to enter Phase II clinical trials owing to its severe toxicity (Zhou et al., 2012). TP coul

  CXCR1/2 The CXC receptor 1 and 2 (CXCR1 and CXCR2) have been well characterised in vertebrates. In mammals and birds, the two receptors are shared by the ELR+ CXC ligands, namely the CXCL8 family members that have proinflammatory roles in recruitment of neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages to s

  2020-10-08

  

  Converging evidence suggests that reduced glutamate transmission in the LS is linked to increased anxiety-like behaviors (Radulovic et al., 1999, Henry et al., 2006, Bakshi et al., 2002, Liu et al., 2004). Therefore, attenuated CRF1 receptor-mediated excitatory transmission in the LS following ASV-t

  2020-10-08

  

  In humans, individual differences in prefrontal dopamine are partially caused by the Val158Met single-nucleotide polymorphism on the catechol-O-methyltransferase gene (COMT). This gene controls activity of the COMT enzyme, which degrades extracellular catecholamines including dopamine. The Val varia

  2020-10-08

  

  ET-1 expression occurs in many carcinomas, including those arising in the kidney [38], prostate [7], ovary [5] endometrium [39], melanocyte [40], and central nervous system [41], [42], among others [43]. The endothelin axis expression in RCC appears to be dependent upon the tumor subtype [38]. In se

  Interestingly, increased level of both circulating ET-1 and urinary excretion of ET-1 have been observed in patients treated with nephrotoxic immunosuppressive agents as cyclosporine A and tacrolimus (Slowinski et al., 2002). Other nephrotoxic agents, such as cisplatin, also increase urinary excreti

  2020-10-08

  

  In the brain, E2 can modulate the mitogen-activated protein kinases/extracellular signal-regulated kinases (MAPK/ERK) pathway, which is involved in the formation of different memory types (Atkins et al., 1998, Blum et al., 1999, Schafe et al., 2000). When the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway is activated,

  Conclusions Enzyme prodrug therapy mediated by implantable biomaterials combines the benefits offered by the site specific drug delivery techniques and the systemic administration of drugs. From the former, SMEPT inherits the localized mode of drug delivery with lower systemic distribution of the

  TgTCEA from petals (TgTCEA1) and TgTCEB from pollen grains (TgTCEB1) were used throughout the study. The recombinant enzymes were expressed in , and purified as the His-tag-free forms as described previously., Enzyme reactions were performed at 4 mM substrates under the same conditions as described

  Atypical collagen glycosylation The disaccharide Glc(α1-2)Gal(β1-O) decorating collagens is strongly conserved across the animal kingdom, yet for every rule, nature provides exceptions. The deep-sea worm Riftia pachyptila of the phylum Annelida represents an intriguing exception. R. pachyptila is

  Introduction Obesity constitutes a global healthcare problem and has many adverse effects on the cardiovascular function [1,2]. Recently, the perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) has emerged as a relevant fat depot for cardiovascular risk and as a potential trigger in vascular dysfunction. Indeed, PV

  Methacholine (MCh) is a bronchoconstrictive agent that has been widely used in the diagnoses of airway narrowing and hyperresponsiveness (Jonasson et al., 2009). MCh induces muscle contractions by stimulating the muscarinic cholinergic receptors that are found in both the airways and the lung parenc
