  2020-07-11

  

  Prostaglandins (PGs), in particular PGE2 and PGF2α, play pivotal roles in human parturition by stimulating cervical ripening, myometrial contraction and fetal membrane rupture (Challis et al., 1997). In human pregnancy, the amnion is the principle source of PGE2 (Duchesne et al., 1978). In the amnio

  Introduction Mammalian proteases comprise both the peptidases or exopeptidases, which act at the N- or C-terminal positions of polypeptides, and proteinases or endopeptidases, which are capable of cleaving peptide bonds in the central regions of polypeptides. The endopeptidases are classified in

  Biological roles of DGKϵ Summary and future perspectives The most WWL 70 segment of DGKϵ, comprised of residues 20–42, appears to have no role in binding the lipid substrate DAG or in the acyl chain specificity of substrate phosphorylation. Nevertheless, the sequence in this segment of DGKϵ i

  External factors, such as protein partners, can also activate DUBs by either reinforcing the stimulatory effects of intramolecular factors or by other means. The intramolecular activation of the USP7 CD by its HUBL domain is allosterically potentiated by external factor GMP synthase (GMPS), which co

  Similarly, LTD4 concentration-dependently enhanced AQP4 expression in astrocytes (Fig. 3). The LTD4-enhanced AQP4 expression was not affected by pranlukast but inhibited by Bay u9773, a non-selective CysLT1/CysLT2 receptor antagonist [33]. Because no selective CysLT2 receptor antagonists are current

  In summary, our data demonstrated a biological function of cpt1a gene from large yellow croaker. In particular, we indicated the effects of fasting on free carnitine status, CPT1 kinetics, and cpt1a mRNA expression in liver of large yellow croaker. During short-term fasting, the fish liver may have

  2020-07-10

  

  Since its inception, ADEPT approach has been widely reported by many groups using a variety of enzymes and prodrugs (see reviews) [12], [14]. Both mammalian and non-mammalian enzymes have been utilised. Of the mammalian variety, human β-glucuronidase in combination with many prodrugs [17], [18] and

  Although several genomic technologies, including the generation of ERRγ-specific knockout mice, have revealed that ERRγ plays a pivotal role in cellular bioenergetics [1], its involvement in other metabolic pathways has been appreciated only recently. Therefore, we highlight recent findings on the r

  Anaesthetized mice of one eNOS-KO strain showed a paradoxical decrease in blood pressure (BP) in response to i.p. administration of the NOS-inhibitor L-NA suggesting a role for non-endothelial isoforms of NOS in maintaining BP [1]. Alternatively, diminution in the activity of the renin-angiotensin s

  Introduction Klebsiella pneumoniae, a Gram-negative enteric bacterium, is an organism with significance in both biomedicine and biotechnology. Some of the strains of K. pneumoniae are opportunistic pathogens, which can cause suppurative infection, pneumoniae and urinary tract infection in humans (B

  We recently described the 1,3-benzoxazin-4-one analogue of LY294002 and showed it to have pan-PI3K and DNA-PK activity [2]. We have also reported on the activity of other family members, such as 3 which causes sensitization of lung cancer and colon cancer cells to radiation [11] and 4 (LTUSI122) as

  DNA hypomethylation has been found in liver tumor and other tumors of humans, such as laryngeal cancer, 5-BrdU tumors, tongue squamous cell carcinoma and uterine leiomyomas [[20], [21], [22], [23], [24]]. Then, we mainly sought to confirm whether TCA could induce DNA hypomethylation in vitro and th
