Introduction Natural killer (NK) cells have an unique ability to directly lyse transformed, virus-infected or stressed cells without prior sensitization or major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I restriction [1], [2]. They were initially defined and shown to be important effectors of the i

In conclusion, our data demonstrated that montelukast and pranlukast non-competitively blocked P2Y signaling in several cell systems, but in a relatively nonsubtype-specific manner. The functional antagonism was especially evident at heterologously expressed P2Y1 and P2Y6 receptors, at which IC50 va

MTT results show that, both pancreatic cell lines were quite sensitive to camptothecin (CPT), a well known topoisomerase I poison. Interestingly, CPT does not show any selectivity over cancer cell lines probably due to the duplication times for cancerous (MIA PaCa-2) and immortalized healthy (HPDEC)

Growing evidence has shown that ANS dysregulation, indexed by heart rate variability (HRV), plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of anxiety (Minassian et al., 2014, 2015). Indeed, we have previously reported that patients with GAD are associated with reduced resting parasympathetical (vagal) co

All of these experiments in GM matter injury models have identified an array of signaling mechanisms that are potentially important. First, Kim et al. proposed that CK2 acts as a negative modulator of NADPH oxidase [55]. Then Blanquet et al. [50] found that increased CK2 correlated with inhibition o

Tacrine (9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine) (I, Fig. 1) was the first AChEI to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of AD [25], [26], [27], [28]. However, despite its good AChE inhibitory activity, tacrine was far from ideal due to its low bioavailability and shor

Estrogen receptor-related receptor γ (ERRγ), like other members of the ERR subfamily, is a constitutively active orphan nuclear receptor, though unlike ERRα and β, it is more selectively expressed in metabolically active and highly vascularized tissues such as heart, kidney, brain, and skeletal mus

The question remains, however as to the downstream signaling by Epacs that contributes to persistent sensitization of sensory neurons. Activation of the Ras family of GTPases by Epac1 (RapGEF3) or Epac2 (RapGEF4) (Bos, 2003, de Rooij et al., 1998) is linked to a number of downstream signaling effect

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

Introduction Neuropathic pain occurs in approximately one-third of patients with diabetes and is refractory to currently available analgesic drugs (Abbott et al., 2011). This painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is associated with elevated levels of methylglyoxal (MG; a reactive glucose metabolite) an

In conclusion, the data suggest that doses of COX-2 inhibitors and EP1 receptor antagonists which have previously been reported to exert disease modulating or antiepileptic drug potentiating effects do not negatively affect seizure control in temporal lobe epilepsy. The contrasting impact of the EP1

Another enzyme class that has emerged as a potential alternative to P450s are the so-called ‘unspecific peroxygenases’ (UPOs). They also contain a heme but are extracellularly expressed fungal enzymes that are often more stable than P450 monooxygenases. Importantly, UPOs use H2O2 instead of O2 as th
