  2022-11-10

  

  Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a nuclear receptor that plays an important role in regulation of metabolism and disposition of structurally diverse xenobiotics as well as endogenous steroids and bile acids (Bertilsson et al., 1998, Kliewer et al., 1998, Lehmann et al., 1998). PXR regulates the metaboli

  2022-11-09

  

  Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a function of biochemical mechanisms, which are energy-dependent. It is considered to be a vital component of many processes such as normal cell cycle, immune mechanism, atrophy, embryonic development and toxin-induced cell death (Elmore, 2007). In addition, apo

  Crohn’s disease, an inflammatory bowel disease that affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, is characterized by a polymorphism in ULK1 autophagy gene due to the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Thus, the autophagic process is impaired during the disease. The mutations in the leuc

  2022-11-09

  

  The transcription factor activator protein-1 (AP-1) is a redox-sensitive transcription factor whose activity is controlled by agents that perturb intracellular thiol concentrations [10,11]. AP-1 is mainly composed of Jun, Fos, and ATF protein dimers [12,13]. AP-1 mediates the regulation of numerous

  Dual-acting RAAS blockade and neprilysin inhibition has been evaluated in several clinical HF trials. In PARADIGM-HF [6,7], LCZ696 was superior to enalapril in reducing mortality and HF hospitalizations in symptomatic patients with HF with reduced EF. Augmented benefits on maladaptive cardiac remode

  Antioxidative stress and anti-inflammation Oxidative stress is a major cause of reduced endothelial NO bioavailability in hypertension, and inflammatory response is thought to play an important role in these processes (Blake and Ridker, 2001, Landmesser et al., 2006). Reactive oxygen species (ROS

  2022-11-08

  

  Although TP53 status has been shown to play a role in ATR inhibition and platinum resistance [7], [27], [38], in inhibition of ATM and sensitivity to IR [39], and in the activation of Chk1 and Chk2 [3], [4], ATM and ATR signaling can occur through the p38MAPK/MK2 pathway in p53-deficient HBTU [40].

  Because ASK1 signaling in microglia and astrocytes is important during EAE, we hypothesized that a combination therapy that targets T cells along with microglia and astrocytes would further ameliorate the severity of EAE. We tested this hypothesis by applying valproic Hordenine (VPA)—a short-chain

  The reception of antiangiogenic treatment in neuro-oncology has yet to achieve the wide success rapidly accomplished for other malignancies. In 1984, mutated receptor tyrosine kinase became a culprit for aberrant tumorigenesis signal, providing a target for monoclonal Oxaprozin (mAbs) and small-mol

  On the contrary, Birrel and colleagues observed divergent proliferative responses to androgens in different BC cell lines: DHT and mibolerone were found to inhibit the T47-D and ZR-75-1 concentration formula growth, while the proliferation of MCF-7 cells was increased by both the androgens [53].

  Although several studies indicate that ALDH2 protects the heart from injury and maladaptive remodeling (reviewed in [11], [12], [13]), accumulating evidence indicates that deficiency of the enzyme could be protective as well. For example, mice expressing the defective Aldh2*2 mutation show lower ald

  Unlike in humans, hepatic expression of FGF21 increases in mice consuming KD and is a necessary mediator of the physiologic adaptations to the diet. FGF21 knockout (KO) mice gain, rather than lose weight on the diet [6]. FGF21 also activates BAT in part by increasing SNS drive [3,7]. In addition, th
