  Clinical trials of all GSIs have ended prematurely, raising the question on our understanding of their target, the γ-secretase/presenilin. Development of compounds to target γ-secretase and reduce Aβ production is complicated by the fact that γ-secretase/presenilin has critical biological function,

  2022-02-07

  

  FXR agonists represent an attractive class of drugs for patients with PFIC. Synthetic and semi-synthetic FXR agonists, with higher affinity and potency to activate FXR, have been successfully tested in animal models of cholestasis. In these murine models, the semi-synthetic steroidal FXR ligand obet

  2022-02-07

  

  More recently, Serna-Marquez and colleagues investigated LA-induced migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. In this study, LA was shown to induce AKT-2 phosphorylation and cell invasion and migration in MDA cells. LA-induced cell migration was inhibited by siRNA that selectively ta

• Channeling of SFA away from generation of toxic lipid

  2022-02-07

  

  Channeling of SFA away from generation of toxic lipid metabolites such as ceramide, towards inert TG accumulation in response to cosupplementation with increased levels of MUFAs has previously been shown in many cell types including the pancreatic β-cells [37]. Our studies indicate that similar mech

• Fatty acid amide hydrolase FAAH is

  2022-02-05

  

  Fatty ACSF amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a membrane-bound enzyme which releases arachidonic acid and ethanolamine by breaking amide bond of AEA. It also controls the cellular uptake of AEA, by creating and maintaining an inward concentration gradient leading to AEA-facilitated diffusion via a specific m

• EZH can also interact with Ten Eleven Translocation gene

  2022-02-05

  

  EZH2 can also interact with Ten-Eleven Translocation gene family members (TET1, TET2, and TET3), which convert 5-methylcytosine (5 mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), to cause changes in patterns of histone methylation and DNA methylation [52]. Huang et al. found that the expression levels of all

  2022-02-05

  

  Nuclear factor erythroid 2-like-2 (NFE2L2; hereafter NRF2) plays a crucial role in the basal and inducible expressions of multiple cytoprotective genes in response to electrophilic and oxidative stress [23]. The cytosolic actin-binding protein Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) primarily re

  Acknowledgements Introduction The neurotransmitter glycine acts through two receptors: a strychnine-sensitive glycine receptor (GlyA) and a strychnine-insensitive glycine receptor (GlyB). GlyA is localized to the neuronal membrane post-synaptic to inhibitory glycinergic neurons, whereas GlyB is

  2022-02-03

  

  To improve the preferential GalR2 binding, we synthesized M1152 where the N-terminal Gly residue was deleted, in analogy with previously designed M871 (Sollenberg et al., 2006). In addition to the poor affinity of M871 for GalR1, a recent study showed that it also hardly recognized by GalR3 (Sollenb

  Most of the above mechanisms are implicated in attenuation of myocardial I/R injury. However, the role of GalR2 receptor activation in cardioprotection remains unclear because of the lack of receptor subtype selectivity of peptides G2 and G3. It has been shown that Ala5-galanin (2–11) (G4) has a hig

  2022-02-03

  

  Erythropoiesis involves the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem 961 receptor to mature RBCs. This process is a tightly-regulated to adjust rates of RBC production based on physiologic need. Fas-mediated apoptosis is one mechanism that controls erythropoiesis. The role of Fas-sig

  In the Hedgehog signaling pathway, cholesterol is required to activate SMO (Cooper et al., 2003), the downstream target of PTCH1. A previous study (Bidet et al., 2011) reported that Patched expression in yeast RO5185426 mg increased extrusion of a fluorescent boron dipyromethanene sterol derivative

  In contrast to sGC stimulators, sGC activators promote enzymatic activity of sGC containing oxidized heme iron (Fe3+) or missing the heme group. A-350619 is one of the oldest activators of sGC to be discovered. A-350619 increased sGC activation in a non-additive manner with respect to YC-1, leading
