  2021-01-26

  

  Besides having a remarkable progestogenic effect, an additional characteristic of DRSP is its strong antimineralocorticoid effect and antiandrogenic action [11]. DRSP is characterized by an antimineralocorticoid effect that is stronger when compared to progesterone. The decreasing synthesis of proge

  2021-01-26

  

  As expected, the 19-nortestosterone-derived progestins tested were moderate agonists of hAR (C), with EC50s ranging from 2 to 10nM, however all were less potent than the endogenous ligand DHT by at least a factor of 6, with relative potencies ranging from 0.0301 to 0.164. This is in agreement with p

  2021-01-26

  

  Compression: The L4 vertebral body was tested in compression with loads applied along the craniocaudal axis using an Instron 8800 device at a rate of 3mm/min. Load displacement data were captured using Bluehill software. The ultimate load, yield load, stiffness, ultimate stress, yield stress and You

  2021-01-26

  

  ER stress was monitored by both an increase of the ER chaperone (GRP78, GRP94) and the activation of the ER resident caspase-12. ER stress response (also known as the unfolded protein response) is a defense mechanism against various cellular stresses which causes accumulation of unfolded proteins in

• Oxysterols modulate the immune responses and as such

  2021-01-26

  

  Oxysterols modulate the immune responses and as such could be effectors of the tumor environment: 25-OHC impairs IgA production in B-lymphocytes [26] and induces the secretion of the proinflammatory and angiogenic cytokine IL-8 [27], [28]. Of note, oxysterols (in particular 7α,25-OHC) are potent che

  2021-01-25

  

  Mulan is one of three E3 ubiquitin ligases that are present in the mitochondria along with MARCH5/MITOL (membrane associated RING-CH5) and RNF185 [14], [15], [16], [17]. Mulan is a 352-residue polypeptide that crosses the mitochondrial outer membrane (OMM) twice, its amino-terminus, which includes t

  2021-01-25

  

  As small non-coding RNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs) can control gene expression at the post-transcriptional level by binding to the 3′-untranslated regions (3′-UTR) of messenger RNAs (mRNA) [15], [16]. miRNAs have been anticipated to regulate virtually all cellular mechanisms [17] and to play an important

  2021-01-25

  

  Cell migration and invasion are central processes in the development and metastasis of cancer. The regulation of cell migration by DDR1 has been reported in many types of cancer cell lines; however, conflicting results have been reported regarding the inhibitory as well as promotive effects of DDR1

• Zinc Pyrithione The ability of TKIs in inducing CRTH

  2021-01-25

  

  The ability of TKIs in inducing CRTH2 expression could be related to the c-terminal of CRTH2 receptor that is important molecular determinant in the down-stream signaling cascade activation [20]. This requires further studies to prove it or disprove it. Additionally, further studies are needed to ex

  Furthermore, positioning the naphthalene nucleus in 3d within the main active site and forming one hydrogen bond with Tyr385 in addition to many hydrophobic interactions with Val349, Leu352, Gly526, Ala527 and Leu531 residues, correlates well with the position and hydrophobic interactions of the tri

  2021-01-25

  

  The P4H activity and the large number of 4-Hyp residues that are formed, amounting to half of all the Pro residues or 10% of all residues, have been identified as having a clear role in the structure and chemistry of the triple helix [3]. The role of the rare 3-Hyp residues is less clear and is stil

  2021-01-25

  

  Methods Ventricular cardiomyocytes from adult male Wistar rats were isolated using a standard enzymatic digestion [11]. Cells were incubated at 37°C for 4 to 6h with Tyrode solution (in mM: 140 NaCl, 4 KCl, 1.1 MgCl2, 10 HEPES, 10 glucose, 1.8 CaCl2; pH7.4, with NaOH) supplemented or not with 10μ

  2021-01-25

  

  The Liver X Receptor-α and -β (LXRs, NR1H3 and NR1H2, respectively) are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily that play a central role in controlling cholesterol homeostasis [9], [10]. In macrophages, LXRs can decrease the cellular sterol burden by inducing expression of the cholesterol efflux

  2021-01-25

  

  The contribution of local ETA and ETB receptors towards heat hyperalgesia induced by inoculation of XC tumor fructose 1 6 bisphosphatase in the paw of mice has been demonstrated by Baamonde and colleagues (Baamonde et al., 2004). Furthermore, using neuropathic and inflammatory nociception models, s

  2021-01-25

  

  In the present study, real-time polymerase chain reaction also confirmed that gene expressions of RT1 class II, locus Bb (RT1-Bb) was up-regulated and Spi-B transcription factor (Spib) was downregulated at day 3 after the VMH lesions. These two genes work as one of immune responses. RT1-Bb controls
