  2023-08-21

  

  The levels of Mcl-1 and FLIP are homeostatically controlled by transcriptional and posttranslational processes. Accumulating evidence suggested that intracellular signaling molecules such as Akt are crucial to the transcription of Mcl-1 and FLIP [30], [31]. The constitutive activation of Akt is dete

  There is a delicate balance between ROS generation and scavenging by the protective antioxidant defenses in the cell. Antioxidant systems present in the 20187 include enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalases, glutathione peroxidases (GPxs) and peroxiredoxins (PRxs) (Fig. 3) [38]. SODs are

  2023-08-21

  

  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

  The activity of MMPs is regulated at the level of gene transcription or by the enzymatic activation of latent enzymes. Inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and IL-6 are elevated in synovial fluid, synovium and cartilage in patients with OA, and these cyto

  2023-08-21

  

  Vascular interventional radiology (VIR) laboratories perform a myriad of procedures ranging from simple tunneled peripherally inserted central catheter lines to complex transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placements. Infections are a common complication in the VIR environment; thus, the pr

  In addition, unconventional mechanisms of internalization cannot be ignored. It is generally believed that the conventional homologous internalization of a GPCR depends on the activation of G proteins, since GRK activation requires the pre-activation of G proteins (Fig. 2). Feng et al. demonstrated

  Since all the above vascular and glomerular effects contribute to blood pressure regulation, it is expected for 12/15-LOX pathway to play a role in pathogenesis of hypertension (Fig. 6). Indeed, there is evidence for alterations of the 12- and 15LOX enzymes and metabolites both in humans with essent

  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) Pyr3 [86], [87], [88]. Different LOXs oxidize fatty acids both in the fr

  Implicit in this concept is the idea that the β-adrenoceptors in the detrusor would be activated by adrenergic nerves of the sympathetic system: sympathetic activity promoting relaxation and enhancing bladder capacity. However, it has been demonstrated that there is only a sparse adrenergic innervat

  Ambient levels of 0.2ppm ozone were recorded during a recent 2017 weather event in Texas, United States (EPA, 2007). This concentration or higher levels have been used in several human clinical studies during intermittent exercise (Miller et al., 2016c). Although ozone concentration of 0.8ppm used i

  Introduction Diabetic nephropathy is a rapidly growing cause of end-stage renal disease [1]. Glomerular, tubular and vascular toxicity resulting from hyperglycemia (glucotoxicity) have been evaluated extensively at the molecular level as contributing factors for diabetic nephropathy [[1], [2], [3]]

  In brief, serotonin can interact with 7 classes of receptors are differentiated into 14 subtypes (Barnes and Sharp, 1999). Specifically, 5-HT1A and 5-HT2C receptors have been the most widely studied in the modulation of anxiety responses (Deakin et al., 1992; Millan, 2003). However, the studies that

  The reduced IFNγ production seen with BPAL10-primed splenocytes could potentially be attributed to the impaired intracellular survival of B. pertussis, thereby leading to a weakened induction of cell-mediated immunity. Earlier studies have suggested an antimicrobial role of IFNγ in mediating the eli

  2023-08-18

  

  To date, the modes of actions of pharmaceuticals in humans and mammals are well-known (Fent et al., 2006), whereas knowledge of aquatic organisms, particularly invertebrates, is limited. This is problematic as these contaminants/pollutants have potentially harmful effects on wildlife organisms that
