  2020-01-08

  

  Soluble receptors have been shown to be important and common regulators of many cytokines within the immune system, including IL-1, IL-6, IFNγ, TNF-α, GM-CSF, G-CSF and others (Fernandez-Botran, 1991, Heaney, Golde, 1998). We previously described a novel soluble receptor, sCSF-1R, that to date has o

  2020-01-08

  

  DNA methylation is a relatively stable but reversible epigenetic mechanism that can regulate gene expression, and occurs at the three different cytosine sequence contexts (CG, CHG, and CHH, where H is C, A, or T) in plants [15]. Many studies suggest that DNA methylation status of genes influence pla

  The present study was the first to examine how COMT genotype and estradiol are associated with voltage gated potassium channel functioning in healthy postmenopausal women. We hypothesized that with decreased circulating estradiol after menopause, the COMT genotype relationship to cognition would re

  From an industrial perspective, the low turnover numbers and limited substrate scope of α-KG halogenases still represents a significant challenge. However, in light of the fact that currently no chemical processes are available for the selective halogenation of aliphatic carbon centers in complex mo

  In conclusion, our results demonstrated that TGF-β1 promotes linear invadosome formation in hepatocellular carcinoma cells, through the regulation of collagen I, its receptor and its cross-linker (Fig. 6). The key role of TGF-β1 in HCC development allow us to suggest that linear invadosomes and thei

  Next to organophosphates, carbamates and metals, cholinesterase activity can also be affected by other pesticides, such as newer generation neonicotinoid insecticides (NN). NNs do not inhibit AChE activity via the organophosphate-sensitive binding site of the enzyme, but rather, by acting as a struc

  More recently, it was discovered that BChE hydrolyzes the neuropeptide gut hormone, ghrelin [25], [26], [27], [28]. Nonetheless, because the enzyme reaction is very slow, those who first reported this finding were initially reluctant to attribute a real physiological role for that phenomenon. Our ow

  Finally, we demonstrated for the first time that the physiological combinations of estradiol and progesterone levels of premenopausal and postmenopausal women efficiently stimulated the growth of T47D spheroids while clinically relevant concentrations of TPA and UPA suppressed the growth of T47D sph

  Determination of relative potency (EC50) by dose response assays in vitro is subject to the same sources of variability as determination of affinity, since the EC50 and Hill slope of the dose response curve are highly dependent on the binding of ligand to a competing receptor that may be present, an

  It is now well accepted that increased local estrogen levels are associated with both the onset and growth of breast cancer. Tissue concentrations of estradiol (E2) in breast cancer are 10 times higher than that found in plasma [12]. Breast cancer tissues also contain increased activity and expressi

  The nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand regulated transcription factors has proven to be a rich source of targets for the development of therapeutics for a wide range of human diseases. The NR3B subfamily known as the estrogen-related receptor (ERRα[NR3B1], ERRβ[NR3B2] and ERRγ[NR3B3]) regul

  For the current studies, we used the selective Epac agonist 8CPT-AM to directly activate the proteins. We chose this pharmacological approach since it allows a direct activation of Epacs rather than using receptor agonists such as PGE2 which could introduce confounding variables. One potential conce
