  2024-06-18

  

  Apelin is a peptide hormone and an endogenous ligand for a G protein-coupled receptor named APJ [7], [8], and apelin and APJ are widely expressed in human organs including hypothalamus, heart, lungs, kidneys, adipose tissue, muscles, and others [9]. Apelin is initially synthesized as a 77-amino-acid

  2024-06-18

  

  Gene regulation of MMPs is influenced by the transcription factor activating factor-1 (AP-1). AP-1 complexes are heterodimers of proteins of the two proto-oncogene families (jun and fos) and have hmg-coa reductase inhibitors in the promoter region of MMPs, as well as in genes mediating inflammatory

  2024-06-18

  

  Introduction Heterotrimeric Gαβγ proteins mediate signal transduction through seven-transmembrane domain receptors. In response to neurotransmitters or hormones, activated receptors bind GTP via the Gα subunit leading to the dissociation of Gα from the Gβγ dimer. G proteins regulate the levels of s

  In the largest postmortem study of 3618 autopsied individuals, almost 75% of the individuals without Aβ pathology already harbored cortical NFT pathology mostly confined to the medial temporal regions (Murray et al., 2015). In Braak's study of 2366 autopsied individuals (Braak and Del Tredici, 2014)

  Introduction There are greater than five million Americans living with Alzheimer's dementia and more than 35 million people worldwide [1], and without a way to stop or slow the progression, there will be nearly a tripling of individuals affected by 2050 (13.8 million) [1]. The urgency to develop

  Our results add to previously published data on the contribution of ALDH3A1 to the optical properties of the cornea. Specifically, the study by Nees et al. (2002) was among the first to examine whether ALDH3A1 serves as a structural component in the cornea and similarly to lens crystallins. Their ex

  Acknowledgments and Disclosures Introduction In mammals, ejaculated sperm requires a finite period of residence in the female reproductive tract to become competent for fertilization (Visconti et al., 1995a, Visconti et al., 1995b). Once oocytes are matured, it is important for these cells to

  The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a popular model organism for virtually any biological function of vertebrates, and has, therefore, received a wide distribution in particular in developmental biology and toxicology (Strähle et al., 2012). With respect to AChE, the zebrafish has, e.g., been identified

  Perspectives Given the complexity of the cellular interactome and of protein scaffolding, further progress in revealing how individual membrane proteins, including APP and AChE, interact with each other at various levels, from cell-surface shedding to gene regulation, will clarify some intrinsic

  The cellular mechanism underlying the CGS12066-mediated inhibition of glutamate release from hippocampal nerve terminals through presynaptic 5-HT1B receptors remains to be elucidated. 5-HT1B receptors are coupled to PTX-sensitive G proteins (Gi or Go) that have been shown to inhibit AC activity as w

  Concluding remarks Autophagy ensures cell homeostasis and survival through the continuous degradation/recycling of intracellular components. It can also represent a conserved, cell-intrinsic, defense mechanism against invading pathogens, including viruses. The autophagy process can be activated r

  Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1, also referred to as MAP3K5)(Ichijo et al., 1997) participates in many different stress responses, including apoptosis (Chang et al., 1998, Chen et al., 1999, Ichijo et al., 1997, Kanamoto et al., 2000, Noguchi et al., 2008, Saitoh et al., 1998, Tobiume et

  TLRs play a key role in pathogen recognition and early response. In our study, we showed an increase of TLR2 mRNA and protein expression after BMECs were stimulated by S. aureus, as seen for BMECs in a previous study [25]. Although most studies describe TLR4 as a primary receptor for Gram-negative b
