  2019-11-07

  

  In conclusion, our study has demonstrated that PGE2 stimulates expression of survivin in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Although there are 4 subtypes of EP receptors, the EP1 receptor appears to be the predominant receptor that regulates PGE2-induced expression of survivin, mainly through trans-act

  2019-11-07

  

  The Penicillium strain used in this work was isolated from Atlantic forest soil and previously screened as lipase producer (Tauk-Tornisielo et al., 2005). The immobilization was previously evaluated using hydrophobic supports, i.e. agarose based butyl-(But), phenyl-(Phe) and octyl-Sepharose (Oct), a

  The 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene-derived substrates 18a, 20a and 22a (Table 2) allowed only moderate growth of all members of the panel of microorganisms suggesting that these substrates were inhibitory to some extent. Strong growth of the Gram-negative microorganisms and moderate growth of the Gram-pos

  2019-11-07

  

  The importance of AAE3 in enhancing the survival of plants and yeast when confronted with certain environmental stresses has been documented in recent reports. In response to biotic stress such as oxalate-secreting micro-organisms, AAE3 was found to reduce the inhibitory growth effects of the secret

  2019-11-06

  

  Collagen compaction and alignment are generated by cell-mediated contractile forces (Stopak and Harris, 1982). The transmission of actomyosin forces to collagen has been mainly attributed to integrins and the activation of the Rho-ROCK pathway (Clark et al., 2007, Kural and Billiar, 2013, Provenzano

  2019-11-06

  

  DNA promoter hypermethylation is an important mechanism in epigenetic modulation of gene expression.[16], [17], [18] When the promoter CpG island of a gene is hypermethylated, the transcription and its associated function of the gene will be subsequently altered.[19], [20], [21] In human cancers, we

  2019-11-06

  

  Introduction Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs), LTC4, LTD4 and LTE4, are 5-lipoxygenase pathway metabolites of arachidonic Lauric Acid and deeply involved in bronchial asthma via activation of CysLT1 receptors [1], [2]. Specific CysLT1 receptor antagonists, including pranlukast [3], [4] and monteluk

  2019-11-06

  

  Methacholine (MCh) is a bronchoconstrictive agent that has been widely used in the diagnoses of airway narrowing and hyperresponsiveness (Jonasson et al., 2009). MCh induces muscle contractions by stimulating the muscarinic cholinergic receptors that are found in both the airways and the lung parenc

  In order to further understand the biological significance of cell-collagen X interactions, we have examined the possibilities of involvement of other collagen receptors in cell binding to collagen X. The present study demonstrates that collagen X is a ligand for DDR2. DDR2 has been observed to bind

  Concholepas concholepas, our model species for this study, is a marine gastropod found along the Chilean coast that has become commercially important [25], [26], [27]. Until now, the main focus of immunology related to C. concholepas is the production of a novel hemocyanin that has been useful for t

  2019-11-06

  

  Given the important regulatory roles Ub signaling pathways play in eukaryotes, bacterial pathogens and viruses have evolved elaborate mechanisms to hijack host Ub signaling pathways and evade the immune response. This is highlighted by the numerous E3 Ub ligases and spectrum of DUBs encoded by bacte

  It has long been known that native BChE is a major factor in the inactivation of cocaine, an ester-type drug of abuse [190]. But recently some researchers conceived the idea that BChE mutations could improve that function to a point that would favorably impact cocaine overdose. Rapid progress was m

  We demonstrated that BB-94 expressing less DHODH were less sensitive to DHODH inhibitors regardless of their oncogenic status. Based on the proliferation speed of cells, Kant et al. (1989), showed that slow-growing squamous cell carcinoma was more sensitive to BQR than fast-growing murine leukemia

  Concluding Remarks Synthetic cytokine biology has become an important research area with novel solutions and ideas for therapeutic approaches, for example, synthekines, fusokines, immunocytokines, neoleukins, MESA receptors, or synthetic Notch or cytokine receptors. In addition to their huge impa

  The T cell receptor (TCR) pathway is associated with T cell activation and differentiation. When specific antigen peptides are recognized by the TCR, lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (lck) phosphorylates the immune-receptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of the TCR-CD3 complex a
