  Introduction The principal pathways of adrenal and gonadal steroidogenesis have been known for over 50 years (reviewed by Miller and Auchus, 2011). Cholesterol is first converted to pregnenolone via three reactions, 20-hydroxylation, 22-hydroxylation and scission of the 20,22 carbon–carbon bond,

  2024-09-30

  

  Since innate immune responses represent the first defense against incoming infectious microorganisms, they are particularly engaged during the early stages of viral infections. Many innate defense mechanisms rely on the engagement of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) which are conserved, germ lin

  Secreted enzymes Only two secreted S. aureus enzymes reportedly induce apoptosis, namely, staphylococcal staphopain B (SspB) and coagulase. SspB selectively cleaved CD11b/CD18 integrin and induced an apoptosis-like cell death in neutrophils and monocytes (Smagur et al., 2009). Neutrophils or mono

  Natural compounds, present in medicinal and/or nutritional plants as well as in macrofungi sources, have stimulated a great interest from the pharmaceutical industry. Different natural compounds such as phenolic compounds, alkaloids, terpenoids among others, have shown strong antiangiogenic effects

  2024-09-29

  

  Kidney contributes importantly to the long-term blood pressure control via regulating sodium homeostasis. Renal proximal tubule (RPT) is one of the most critical segments for sodium reabsorption within kidney and therefore involved in blood pressure adjustment. This process is regulated by numerous

  Given that the FST protocol for mice does not engage the exposure to a previous stressful session, posits that Agtr1a levels could be kept higher by basal glutamatergic transmission rather than by stressful stimuli as postulated before. To address this possibility, we used the EMBL-EBI Expression At

  It is noteworthy to mention the limitations of this study like tPA plus LB1 treatment beyond 4 h after stroke was not investigated. Especially 6 or 8 h after stroke could be studied in future projects for translational purposes. Second drawback might be that we performed the experiments in different

  2024-09-29

  

  Regulation of AHR Activity AHR activity is regulated in various ways. First, AHR protein levels are controlled via ubiquitin-mediated proteosomal degradation: Ligand binding induces AHR ubiquitination and subsequent degradation by the proteasome [5]. AIP, a component of the AHR chaperone complex,

  Interestingly, hypoxia and an enhanced Warburg effect ultimately lead to increased lactate production. The accumulation of lactate results in an acidic tumor microenvironment, which induces local inflammation. Lactate also promotes the polarization of macrophages that express immunosuppressive argin

  According to their structures and substrate specificity, MMPs are divided into five major groups: collagenases (e.g., MMP1), gelatinases (e.g., MMP2, MMP9), stromelysins (e.g., MMP3, MMP10), matrilysins (e.g., MMP7), and membrane-type MMPs [7]. Among them, MMP1 is a major collagenase that degrades t

  2024-09-29

  

  A rate-limiting step in the generation of kynurenine and xanthurenic casr is the oxidation of N-formyl-kynurenine to l-kynurenine via indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) or tryptophan dioxygenase (TDO). IDO and/or TDO knockdown decreases and ectopic over-expression increases production of endogenous AH

  To confirm a role of OCT3 in corticosterone-induced potentiation of cocaine-primed reinstatement, we examined the interaction of corticosterone and cocaine in the reinstatement of cocaine conditioned place preference (CPP) in wild type mice, and transgenic OCT3-deficient mice. These mice express a t

G-protein β-subunit anti-sense oligonucleotides have been shown to inhibit cell proliferation and cause disorganization of the mitotic spindle in mamma
