DGKδ is also involved in cell differentiation. Previously, to investigate the physiological roles of DGKδ, DGKδ-deficient mice have been generated. On the basis of the analysis of DGKδ-deficient mice, Crotty et al. reported that DGKδ regulates the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway by a

In these studies, the inflammatory cytokine IL-8 was demonstrated as one of the responsible molecules induced by CysLTs via activating CysLT2 receptors. IL-8 is synthesized in and released from mononuclear cells, macrophages, fibroblasts and airway epithelial cells, and it promotes inflammation as a

2020-02-27
DDX3 belongs to the DEAD-box family of proteins, ATP-dependent RNA helicases characterized by the presence of a highly conserved helicase core domain [13]. This catalytic core is composed of two RecA-like domains containing motifs involved in ATP binding/hydrolysis, RNA binding and helicase activity

Acknowledgements Introduction Anxiety and depression are major components of maintaining the cycle of addiction, and are responsible for the negative reinforcement of drug seeking behaviors (Sarnyai et al., 1995, Koob and Le Moal, 2008). Both rats and humans exhibit increased anxiety states du

Kumar et al. studied Umbelliferone β-D-galactopyranoside (UFG) (benzopyrone), found in many plants exhibiting numerous pharmacological actions. The results of the study showed that UFG in a dose of 10, 20 or 40mgkg-1 per day, helps to prevent paw edema and arthritic score development for arthritis i

2020-02-27
Two nutrient-sensing pathways, the cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA) pathway and the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) pathway, are implicated in Msn2/4 regulation. Under non-stress conditions, Msn2 localizes in the cytoplasm and is inactivated by both PKA-dependent phosphorylation of the nuclear loca

The combination of brequinar and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been evaluated to assess whether brequinar-induced uridine depletion would improve 5-FU activity. In cells, 5-FU is metabolized into FdUMP and inhibits thymidylate synthetase, which catalyzes the formation of thymidine monophosphate from deo

Several extragenic cot-1 (ts) suppressors have been identified. Among them, cytoplasmic dynein, dynactin, and nuclear distribution mutants of N. crassa, as well as an additional gene gul-1 (NCU01197), have been shown to have genetic interactions with cot-1 (Bruno et al., 1996, Seiler et al., 2006, T

Collectively, these data suggest the potential clinical utility of COMT inhibitors for the treatment of addiction disorders. Similar to current pharmacotherapies such as naltrexone, tolcapone\'s effects were not ethanol specific, therefore tolcapone may be effective in reducing other drug reinforced

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
