  Diabetes or inflammation is associated with up-regulation of A2AAR (Pang et al., 2010). High levels of A2AARs are found in macrophages and microglial cells that are poised, on activation, to abrogate the immune response (Trincavelli et al., 2008). In addition, hyperglycemia is associated with increa

  2024-09-30

  

  Adenosine is a ubiquitous homeostatic purine nucleoside that accumulates extracellularly in response to metabolic stresses such as hypoxia and inflammation. Activation of either G protein-coupled adenosine receptors (ARs; A1R, A2AR, A2BR, and A3R) by extracellular adenosine can modulate cell signali

  2024-09-30

  

  Oxidative microbe killing and V-ATPase Oxidative killing of phagocytosed microorganisms is predominately achieved through the uptake of large quantities of molecular oxygen by the infected cell and the activity particularly of the NADPH oxidase complex on phagosomes (Savina et al., 2006) and the

  2024-09-30

  

  There are profound differences between acute and chronic pain when dramatic changes occur in peripheral nociceptors and central nociceptive pathways and the pain system is sensitised thereby leading to exaggerated responses to noxious stimuli (hyperalgesia) and responses to non-noxious stimuli (allo

  To clarify the molecular mechanism of maduramicin-induced apoptosis in chicken myocardial cells, the mRNA levels of bcl-2, bax, and cytochrome C, as well as the mRNA levels and activities of caspase-3/8/9 were determined. The mRNA expressions and activities of initiator casapase-9 and executioner ca

  Introduction Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) present a class of blood cells with an ability to form new blood vessels relying on pre-existing vessels, which contribute to postnatal angiogenesis [1], [2]. A wide range of studies have demonstrated that EPCs play a critical role in angiogenesis

  In a recent issue of , Minokoshi and colleagues have added more light to our understanding of the role of hypothalamic AMPK in the regulation of energy balance. Previous seminal work from the same group suggested that AMPK in the PVH might be involved in the modulation of feeding . Here, they show t

  The 12/15-lipoxygenase pathway in vascular physiology and pathology The mammalian 12- and 15-LOXs have high substrate specificity oxidizing predominantly ω−6 (arachidonic and linoleic acids) but also the ω−3 (docosahexanoic) ppar antagonist [86], [87], [88]. Different LOXs oxidize fatty acids bo

  Although several studies indicate that ALDH2 protects the heart from injury and maladaptive remodeling (reviewed in [11], [12], [13]), accumulating evidence indicates that deficiency of the enzyme could be protective as well. For example, mice expressing the defective Aldh2*2 mutation show lower ald

  A previous study reported that the serotonergic mechanism was involved in the psychological stress-induced alteration in synaptic plasticity in the rat hippocampal CA1 field (Matsumoto et al., 2004). Sumitaka Inoue et al. (Inoue et al., 2014) reported that pretreatment with a 5-HT1A receptor partial

  Extracellular ATP and downstream purinergic signaling have also been proposed to contribute to dental pulp tissue healing and dentin regeneration. Mechanical and thermal stimulation of external dentin can induce ATP release in dental pulp through pannexins [13]. Cold stimulation was also reported to

  Glucose permeability studies demonstrated a high glucose flux through the SF films used in the present work. Recent diffusion studies, including small molecular drugs and oxygen permeation through SF membranes [32], further support the quality of SF and its possible application as a material for bio

  It is well accepted that PKA is a key enzyme activated at the beginning of the capacitation process [69]. As mentioned above phosphorylation/inactivation of cofilin in sperm is a PKA dependent process [58]. We could not see any change in cofilin phosphorylation level by adding the PKA activator 8Br-

  Nowadays, more than 500 kinases have been identified of human genome [2]. Imatinib (Gleevec) was the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia [3], and kinases have become an attractive target for the developme

  Recent findings imply, that proper Na+/K+-ATPase function is crucial for unimpaired development of the vertebrate heart. Targeted knockout of Na+/K+-ATPase α1 in mice led to early embryonic lethality whereas heterozygous knockout mice displayed severe hypocontractile hearts [52]. Pharmacological inh
