  2021-03-31

  

  The availabilities of serotonin and dopamine are modulated by the serotonin transporter and catechol-O-methyltransferase enzyme. The serotonin transporter (5-HTT) is a key protein that reuptakes serotonin from the synaptic cleft back into synaptic boutons (Coleman et al., 2016; Talvenheimo et al., 1

  2021-03-31

  

  We found that E2 and GEN each has mostly similar effects on recruitment of the epigenetic modulators to the MB-COMT distal promoter (summarized in Table 2). These effects are associated with increased promoter methylation and gene suppression of COMT. It is noted that the array of epigenetic modulat

  A more refined picture of cholinesterase activity patterns may be obtained by measuring ChE activity of the same sample before and after addition of certain cholinesterase inhibitors, with differential specificity for different components of total ChE activity, such as BW284c51 (BW1,5-bis-(4-allyldi

  2021-03-31

  

  Although intact Chk is distributed throughout the nucleus and the cytoplasm (Fig. 1), the deletion of the SH2 domain greatly augments nuclear localization of Chk. The SH2 domain-deleted mutants might lose the ability to localize to the exterior of the nucleus due to a lack of the binding to a hypoth

  2021-03-31

  

  Estrogen treatment in postmenopausal women requires combination with a progestogen in order to prevent endometrial stimulation. This is not necessary, however, with tibolone as progestogenic activity is associated with its Δ4-metabolite that is formed in the liver, as well as locally in the endometr

  Exposure to ultraviolet radiation with sunlight is generally accepted as the major cause of basal-cell carcinoma (Gallagher et al., 1995). The risk of this disease is significantly increased by age. Skin cancers are the most common tumours of the head and neck region and their prevalence shows progr

  DGKε is not the only DGK isoform that has been associated with p53. It has been shown that DGKζ binds to p53 and modulates its activity in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus [39]. In the cytosol DGKζ promotes the degradation of p53 through the ubiquitin-proteosome system [39], also a likely mechanis

  Two in vitro reports using lung fibroblasts have shown that cell transmigration, using transwell migration experiments, through collagen I-coated inserts is mediated by DDR2 and the DDR2-associated signaling kinases JAK2 and ERK1/2, but not DDR1 [63] and that DDR2 regulates the adhesion of fibroblas

  It is well known that CysLTs exert potent contractile action on human bronchial smooth muscles through activation of CysLT1 receptors. Indeed, in vitro antigen-induced contraction of passively sensitized human bronchial tissue is markedly suppressed by a pre-treatment with CysLT1 receptor antagonist

  Ung et al. examined a variety of structural features based upon the location of the DFG-motif and the αC-helix to define the conformational space of the catalytic domain of protein kinases [75]. They reported that the DFG motif can move from its active DFG-Din location to the inactive DFG-Dout locat

  Another well-established visceral action of CRF and urocortin administered peripherally is the long-lasting lowering of blood pressure observed in various species ranging from rodents to humans [22]. Existing evidence suggests that the hypotensive action of CRF and urocortin is mediated by the inter
