  A wealth of studies support the key role of high NO in promoting higher blood flow and thus greater O2 delivery to working tissues in healthy Tibetans and thus partly compensate hypoxia induced low arterial O2 content [7,9,27]. We observed high eNOS mRNA, protein and enzyme activity in Ladakhi women

  2020-01-25

  

  Generally, glycines (and other small residues such as alanine) present in a helical GxxxG-motif that are facing the same side of the helix form a uniform surface that enables direct contact with a second helix. Crystal structures of multipass membrane proteins have demonstrated that GxxxG-motifs are

  2020-01-25

  

  To examine the influence of aromatic motifs on the bridging lysine esters we analysed DNA alkylating activity of the set of compounds 1–6. The lysine derivatives were chosen as it is relatively easy to prepare different esters and thereby study the impact of different groups on the reactivity toward

  At one time, the biological effects of cAMP were thought to be mediated exclusively by Protein Kinase A (PKA). Consistent with this, PKA inhibitors have been shown to reverse the effects of cAMP-elevating agents on VSMC proliferation [5]. However, we recently reported that cAMP-mediated inhibition o

  2020-01-23

  

  Gliptins have become a part of various therapeutic regimens to treat type 2 diabetics in recent decades. Gliptins were developed to lower the blood glucose in type 2 diabetes patients and have been shown to be effective [4,5]. More than a dozen gliptins have been developed for the treatment of T2DM,

  2020-01-22

  

  Estrogen receptors (ERs) belong to the third class of nuclear receptors (NR3) [23]. Two different forms of ER have been described, ERα and ERβ. They are coded by two distinct genes (ESR1 and ESR2, respectively) containing 8 transcribed exons that give rise to six conserved protein domains: domains A

  2020-01-22

  

  FGF/ERK signaling has been implicated in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions in a wide range of tissues (Huh et al., 2015, Klein et al., 2006, Rice et al., 2004, Zhang et al., 2006, El Ramy et al., 2005, Volckaert and Langhe, 2015). During embryonic organogenesis and in adult organs, we often observ

  Previously, we showed that MS-10, a combined extract of Cirsium japonicum var. Maackii (Maxim.) Matsum. (Korean milk thistle) and Thymus vulgaris L., increases the efficiency of estrogen in the estrogen-deficient state by activating the estrogen receptor (ER). MS-10 increased bone mineral density (B

  2020-01-22

  

  Diabetic retinopathy is a chronic inflammatory disease. Local inflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathological development and progression of this disease [24]. In addition to TNF-α, several other cytokines, chemokines, and other factors such as IL-1β, IL-6, and C-reactive protein have been ind

  2020-01-22

  

  The methods for DNA MTase activity assay involve radioactive labelling [15], gel electrophoresis [16], high-performance liquid chromatography [17], [18], bisulfite conversion [19], [20], and affinity enrichment [21], [22]. In these methods, the methylated bases under the action of active MTase could

  2020-01-22

  

  The biological significance of DNA ligases is attributed to their function in DNA replication, recombination and/or DNA repair [1], [2]. In vertebrates, three different DNA ligases I, III and IV are recognized. DNA ligase I is essential for the Okazaki fragments’ ligation during lagging-strand DNA s

  Introduction The Discoidin Domain Receptors (DDRs), comprising DDR1 and DDR2, are collagen-binding receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) that function as microenvironmental sensors at the interface of the extracellular matrix and the intracellular signal transduction machinery [1]. In response to ligand

  An important strength of our study is the use of an elastic net regression model to select the variable and construct the model, which performed ideally in terms of both predictive accuracy and sparsity for the high-dimensional datasets [16]. As a result, the apparent predictive effect of multiple c

  2020-01-22

  

  Another interesting finding from the present study is that silencing of ERRγ suppressed the expression of HSD17B1 in extravillous trophoblasts. HSD17B1 is a key enzyme in regulating estrogen activity and has been shown to promote the proliferation and migration of estrogen-dependent breast cancer Ep

  Molecular characterization of LEI/L-DNase II LEI, like most serpins, is a metastable protein and its anti-protease activity is related to its “stressed to relaxed transition”. So that, the inhibition of elastase by the well described suicide mechanism generates the cleaved form of LEI (see Padron
