  In the present study we investigated the effect of morphine withdrawal on G-protein coupling to opioid and ET receptors in neonatal rats. Morphine-induced G-protein activation was significantly higher in neonatal rats undergoing morphine withdrawal; suggesting enhanced coupling of the receptors to G

  Structure and function of EPAC isoforms EPACs are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the Ras-like GTPases Rap1 and Rap2 [9]. There are two mammalian EPAC isoforms, EPAC1 and EPAC2 1, 2 (Figure 1). Whereas EPAC1 displays a wide tissue distribution, the expression of EPAC2 is more restr

  Similar to EGFR, another receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4), is gaining attention in the lung cancer setting. The protein expression of this receptor has been recently associated with a negative impact on lung cancer prognosis, supporting the idea that FGFR4

  Concluding remarks Introduction Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a neurologic disorder characterized by diffuse or focal thickening of the intracranial or spinal dura mater, presenting with intracranial hypertension, cranial nerve palsy and spinal cord dysfunction (Kupersmith et al., 2004;

  Taken together, our results demonstrate that the changes of striatal dopamine release and locomotor activity observed following chronic nicotine treatment and consequent acute withdrawal are mediated by CRF1, but not CRF2. Previous studies have already indicated that blocking CRF1 would prevent some

  Since protein kinase CK2 has over 300 known substrates we examined if the inhibitory effects described above could also be detected using another substrate. Therefore, we employed the synthetic peptide RRRADDSDDDDD which is often used in CK2 inhibitory studies. Quite contrary to the phosphorylation

  Conclusions Declaration of interest Acknowledgements Introduction Uncorrected obesity has been a major health problem and the prevalence of obesity is fast rising reaching an epidemic proportion [[1], [2], [3]]. Ample of clinical and experimental evidence has suggested that obesity leads

  2020-10-31

  

  Plasminogen is composed of five N-terminal kringle domains and a C-terminal serine protease domain. The kringle domains have an affinity to lysine and binding of plasminogen with its receptors is dependent on its lysine interacting kringle domains [10], [28]. In the current report, we show that enol

  Initially, we ascertained that if the dose of elastase was sufficient to cause pulmonary emphysema, then pulmonary emphysema could be maintained throughout the study. We found that elastase at 3U was sufficient to cause emphysema that remained over 35 days. In this experimental design of lung diseas

  Whichever interactions are formed between the DS domains and the collagen ligand, they are expected to lead to structural changes within the DDR dimer that are propagated across the cell membrane to result in DDR autophosphorylation (Noordeen et al., 2006). Tight coupling of the extracellular confor

  2020-10-31

  

  Collagen compaction and alignment are generated by cell-mediated contractile forces (Stopak and Harris, 1982). The transmission of actomyosin forces to collagen has been mainly attributed to integrins and the activation of the Rho-ROCK pathway (Clark et al., 2007, Kural and Billiar, 2013, Provenzano

  In frame exon 41 skipping of COL6A3 has been suspected to be responsible for isolated dystonia in several human kindreds without muscular defects [94]. In order to validate their hypothesis, the authors used zebrafish to selectively knock down several exons in col6a3 and found a negative impact on m

  Exon 3 encodes a section of the extracellular ligand-binding domain and two variants in the 5′ region were first identified in Drosophila melanogaster (Semenov and Pak, 1999). These variants were initially termed modules 1 and 2 and correspond to exons 3a and 3b, respectively. To date, exon 3 altern
