• The finding of the apelin APJ axis

  2024-07-05

  

  The finding of the apelin/APJ axis represents an impressive event in cardiovascular studies. As a result of various experimental and clinical studies conducted in vivo and in vitro, it has been indicated that apelin/APJ is a crucial mediator of cardiovascular homeostasis, which takes part in the pat

  2024-07-04

  

  Long term blood pressure regulation is linked to renal function through the mechanisms of pressure natriuresis (Evans et al., 2005), which has been shown to be modulated by the RAS (Hall et al., 1999). Key components of the RAS are expressed throughout the kidney, and are implicated in renal excreto

  2024-07-04

  

  The association of male gender with increased atherosclerosis has stimulated interest in the role of androgen signalling in this condition. Androgens act (Fig. 2) by direct activation of androgen receptor (AR), a nuclear receptor that acts as a ligand-regulated transcription factor (Gao et al., 2005

  Despite clear evidence of a causative role for Aβ in AD, Aβ-mediated toxicity alone is insufficient to explain all facets of fully manifested AD. Indeed, a recent report found that two familial AD mutations in PSEN1, PSEN-L435F and PSEN-C410Y, resulted in a dysfunctional protein that does not cleave

• AR is an enzyme involved

  2024-07-04

  

  AR is an enzyme involved in conversion of glucose into sorbitol using NADPH as a cofactor [46]. This AR polyol pathway generates sorbitol accumulation and NADPH depletion. NADPH participates in detoxification via glutathione (GSH) reductase pathway [47]. Therefore, reduction of NADPH attenuates rem

  A highly attenuated B. pertussis strain, named BPZE1, has recently been described [10]. It produces enzymatically inactive pertussis toxin (PT), no dermonecrotic toxin and only trace amounts of tracheal cytotoxin. Markedly reduced lung pathology was observed in mice intranasally (i.n.) infected with

  In our experience History of ER and ACh tests As shown in Table 1, Stein et al. first reported the usefulness of intravenous injection of ER in diagnosing coronary insufficiency in 1949 [16]. In 1972, the first ER spasm provocation test was employed at the Cleveland Clinic during cardiac cathe

  Aurora kinases Wnt signaling pathway The signal transduction pathway of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays an important role in embryogenesis to control cell differentiation and tumorigenesis [39]. A recent report indicates that 90% of colorectal cancer occur due to the activation of the Wn

  Hypoxia-induced replication arrest has been demonstrated in a variety of organisms in addition to mammals; including Zebrafish , , and (brine shrimp) which have been shown to survive for 4 years and longer in anoxic conditions . Despite this breadth of study, little is known about the mechanism of

  In response to DSB, the lesion recognition factor Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex helps the recruitment of ATM to the damage site and its activation by phosphorylation [29]. However, whether UV-damage recognition factors directly influence ATR and ATM recruitment and their phosphorylation is not clea

  A large number of studies have shown that oxidative stress is involved in the pathophysiological process of ventricular remodeling and is associated with left ventricular dysfunction (Hori and Nishida, 2009, Lord et al., 2010). The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that exceeds anti-oxidat

  Secreted enzymes Only two secreted S. aureus enzymes reportedly induce apoptosis, namely, staphylococcal staphopain B (SspB) and coagulase. SspB selectively cleaved CD11b/CD18 integrin and induced an apoptosis-like cell death in neutrophils and monocytes (Smagur et al., 2009). Neutrophils or mono

  In our approach using BRET and FRET, there is a substantial increase in BRET and FRET signals between Giα2 or Giα3-YFP and CFP- Gγ2/Rluc-Gγ2 upon apelin-13 activation, indicating that Gαi2, Gαi3 and N-terminus of Gβ1γ2 subunits become closer without subunit dissociation. In contrast, both the FRET a
