  Ample evidence has shown that ET-1 system plays a pivotal role in the development of cardiovascular anomalies and pharmacological inhibition of ETA prevents the development of cardiac hypertrophy [[37], [38], [39]].

  2021-01-11

  

  Two GPCR subtypes of interest in the myocardium are the endothelin receptor (ETR) and the α1-adrenergic receptor (α1-AR). Upon ligand binding, these receptors canonically activate the Gαq protein leading to activation of phospholipase C, hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate into diacy

  EBI2 and its ligand(s) EBI2 was found in a screen of upregulated genes in human B cells upon infection with EBV [1]. EBI2 is a G-protein (Gαi type) coupled receptor [2] but as long as 18 years after its discovery the nature of its ligand remained undisclosed. With the help of transfected cell lines

  Discussion The regulation of intracellular cholesterol levels is a biological process of vital importance for cellular function and integrity, and involves robust transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms that are sensitive to metabolic feedback control. Amongst post-transcriptional mec

  Conclusions Mulan is a mitochondrial E3 ubiquitin ligase with diverse roles in cell growth, cell death, and mitophagy. To better understand the mechanism of Mulan's function we used a modified yeast two-hybrid system to isolate proteins that interact with its cytoplasmic RING domain (amino acids

  2021-01-11

  

  To function as Ub-ligases, E3 proteins must interact with E2s. As compared to the extensive studies on E3s, functional studies on E2s are relatively rudimentary in higher plants. We previously reported that there are 48 genes encoding Ub-conjugating (UBC) fold-containing putative E2 proteins in the

  2021-01-09

  

  SIRT1 is a representative member of Sirtuins, which is a family of highly conserved NAD+-dependent class III histone deacetylases. SIRT1 deacetylates plentiful nonhistone protein substrates [Atgs, Foxo1, Foxo3, PGC-1α, NF-kB, E2F1 and p53] (Conrad et al., 2016; Gu et al., 2016; Tu et al., 2018) to p

  Our data also showed that D2 dopamine receptor was down-regulated in the hippocampus, NAc and striatum of F1-MEP animals, which was only significant in the hippocampus. Both agonists and antagonists of D2 dopamine receptor are able to decrease heroin self-administration (Hemby et al., 1996; Rowlett

  Our results in the present study demonstrate that CysLT1 mediates leukotriene-induced contraction in the fundus and suggest that both CysLT1 and CysLT2 mediate leukotriene-induced contraction in the antrum in vitro. Further studies on the effects of leukotrienes in vivo are required to elucidate the

  Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a clinical transitional stage between normal aging and Alzheimer disease (AD) [1]. Approximate 15–30% MCI patients convert to AD annually. Although many efforts have been taken to prevent the conversion from MCI to AD [2], [3], there are few biomarkers to predict t

  In the present study, we did not examine whether the CpG site-specific COMT methylation are associated with any genetic variants in response to E2, GEN or SFN. Some studies suggest that oxidative DNA damage causes genetic variation which may induce epigenetic changes that lead to gene silencing (Kho

  Acknowledgments Significance The mechanisms underlying the adverse effects of Epo-stimulating agents on the reduced survival of cancer patients are not well understood. Here, we identified EphB4 as an alternative Epo receptor, which triggers Src/Stat3 signaling via EphB4. We also showed that r

There are very limited studies available that report the association analysis of ACE I/D polymorphism with psoriasis risk. In the current study we report on ass
