  These cytokines, except for TGF-β can also increase CysLT1R mRNA expression. We further demonstrated that TGF-β and IL-13 were able to increase the proliferation of human BSMC in response to LTD4. BSMC proliferation was CysLT1R-dependent, given that Montelukast ablated this effect. Taken together, o

  Metal ions are known not to be necessary for catalytic activity of serine proteinases. Nevertheless, Co2+ and Ca2+ ions were found to stabilize glutamyl endopeptidase molecule [1], [7], [19]. In our previous study, we have described significant stimulating effect of Ca2+, Mg2+, and Co2+ on biosynthe

  Although the implication of DA and glutamate signaling crosstalk in drug-evoked neuronal adaptations is well acknowledged, targeting the cognate receptors to alleviate symptoms is associated with a loss of efficacy over time and the appearance of severe sides effects, likely due to the involvement o

  Mammalian DGKs: current knowledge Despite our understanding of prokaryotic DGKs, our limited understanding of the structure of mammalian DGKs is a major gap in our knowledge. Importantly, major differences exist between prokaryotic and mammalian enzymes often revealing the fact that structural fe

  DDR1 distribution in healthy, fibrotic and inflamed tissues Whereas we can easily mine publicly available databases to infer DDR1 expression profile in different tissues (as reported in Fig. 1), fine comprehension of DDR1 biology has been hampered by the absence of a commercially available specific

  Our results in the present study demonstrate that CysLT1 mediates leukotriene-induced contraction in the fundus and suggest that both CysLT1 and CysLT2 mediate leukotriene-induced contraction in the antrum in vitro. Further studies on the effects of leukotrienes in vivo are required to elucidate the

  In the present study, we investigated the deeper role of eNOS in the pathogenesis of nasal polyps and analyzed the influence of 1,8-cineol on nasal polyp gene and protein expression of eNOS in vitro. Different studies dealt with the localization and expression of eNOS in nasal polyps and nasal mucos

  A major physiological action of ET-1 is to function as one of the most powerful vasoconstrictors of human blood vessels. As such, ET-1 plays a major role in regulating vascular function in all organ systems, including the kidney (Fig. 1). As in other vessels, ET-1 is thought to be released from en

  In the present work, we ask whether rNMP incorporation is an evolutionarily conserved property of DNA synthesis in Archaea. For this purpose, we used the best characterized hyperthermophilic anaerobe, Pyrococcus abyssi GE5 [47]. This strain duplicates its genome as fast as Bacteria, supported by euk

  Constitutive activity of Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway plays a critical role on melanoma growth, thus inhibition of activity of Ras, Raf and MEK can reduce ERK activity, leading to a decrease in melanoma cell proliferation, survival and invasion (Burotto et al., 2014; Paluncic et al., 2016). Our results a

  [125I] α-bungarotoxin competes with ACh, an endogenous activator of α7-nACh receptors by binding to the ACh binding site on the receptor (Albuquerque et al., 2009). For this reason, the effect of curcumin was investigated on the specific binding of [125I] α-bungarotoxin. Saturation curves for the bi

  The authors identified inhibitors of SUMOylation using two assays to monitor the conjugation of SUMO1 to RanGAP1 by E1 and E2 enzymes: a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) primary screen that evaluated over 250,000 compounds and a chemiluminescence secondary screen.
