  Activation of soluble guanylate cyclase The molecular steps involved in sGC activation have evolved significantly over the last several years. The key studies are outlined below, but here we provide an overall summary. The activation mechanism of sGC was initially proposed to be relatively simple

  2021-11-30

  

  Interestingly, studies from Sahai and colleagues in cancer-associated fibroblasts have revealed that YAP is required for the acquirement of a stiff ECM in the tumor microenvironment (Calvo et al., 2013). Subsequently, this stiffening of the matrix can activate YAP, thus creating a feed-forward loop.

  2021-11-30

  

  The recently de-orphaned G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), GPR55, is activated endogenously by L-α-lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI), a lipid signaling molecule, as well as N-arachidonoyl glycine (NAGly) and numerous endo, phyto, and synthetic cannabinoids (Oka et al., 2007, Henstridge et al., 2010, H

  Introduction The third variable (V3) loop of the gp120 envelope glycoprotein (Env) on the surface of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) becomes exposed after the virus binds CD4, the initial receptor; the V3 loop plays an important role in contacting the coreceptor CCR5 or CXCR4 to media

  A species-specific diverse number of FPPS genes are present in insect genomes (Zhang and Li, 2008, Cusson et al., 2006). The genome of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti contains a single FPPS gene (AaFPPS) that is highly expressed in the CA (Nouzova et al., 2011). FPPS catalytic activity in th

  2021-11-29

  

  There has been conflicting evidence on the possible receptor mechanisms that mediate the neuro-immuno-modulatory effects of FAAH substrates. Evidence from in vitro studies indicates that AEA-mediated modulation of TLR4-induced neuroinflammation may be mediated by CB1/CB2 receptor dependent (Correa e

  Integrase inhibitors have been licensed for use in the UK since 2008. BHIVA now recommend starting all treatment naïve patients on a regimen containing two NRTIs, plus one of the following: a ritonavir boosted PI, an NNRTI, or an integrase inhibitor. They make further recommendations for patients wi

  GnRH receptor expression is altered within GnRH neuronal cells Kisspeptin failed to stimulate GnRH expression in our line of GT1-7 cells. Instead, we have found that kisspeptin increased the expression of the GnRH receptor in these Calcium Colorimetric Assay Kit (Sukhbaatar et al., 2013). Based

  Next, we focused on B-part, the phthalazine ring. While both nitrogen atoms of the phthalazine ring were found to be important (data not shown), replacing the benzene ring of the phthalazine part was attempted, and shows the results of the substituted pyridazine rings with bearing 2-methoxy benzene

  While ghrelin's role in addictive behaviors has been most extensively explored with alcohol, ghrelin has also been implicated in biobehavioral substrates of other drugs of abuse. For example, preclinical experiments suggest that GHS-R1a blockade may improve nicotine [155,156], opioids [[157], [158],

  2021-11-26

  

  FPR1 activation stimulates multiple signal transduction pathways responsible for various neutrophil functions, such as adhesion, chemotaxis, phagocytosis, or of secretory granules, and superoxide anion radical (O2) production, which contribute to the physiological inflammatory response associated w

  Recently, they reported an enyne chemotype agonist (21, Fig. 13) with low lipophilicity, small polar surface area (PSA) and high potency (Clog P=3.8, tPSA=37 A2, EC50=20nM), further derived from TUG-424. The compound endowed fast oral SC 79 (tmax=15min) and a decent pharmacokinetic profile, a satisf

  Introduction of a chloropyridine group onto the fluoro derivative (→) leads to a similarly potent compound that exhibits a lower /, and as was observed with (), was rapidly cleared. However, the high clearance of () did not prevent the increase in the concentrations of FAAs even as its plasma levels

  We sought to deduce the role of membrane lipid determinants on endo- and exocytosis by applying a combination of metabolic (lipid) engineering approaches and biophysical methods, e.g. classical optical imaging technologies and high-resolution time-resolved patch-clamp/capacitance measurements.
