Stressful life events are modulators of mood
2020-04-03
Stressful life events are modulators of mood and can trigger a variety of destructive behavior, including drug abuse and relapse in addicts (Association, 2013; Chen et al., 2012; Sinha, 2009). Likewise, drug-associated stimuli evoke a negative affective state in abstinent drug users. Compelling evid

Materials and methods Results Discussion Intra-BNST injections of NOC-9 (at all doses) were able to produce freezing and anxiogenic-like effects. Freezing was observed immediately after the NO donor injection and lasted about 2–3min (data not shown). When exposed to the EPM 5min after intra

More and more studies are focused on the function role of EPAC1 in cancer proliferation, apoptosis and migration. Recently, it was reported that the EPAC-ERK and AKT signaling pathways promote the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) mediated growth arrest and apoptosis in the B lymphoma cell line WEHI-231

Our previous studies have demonstrated that the DDR2 discoidin domain fully contains the binding site(s) for the fibrillar collagens I and II (Leitinger, 2003, Leitinger et al., 2004). The binding site for collagen I was mapped to three spatially adjacent surface loops within the DDR2 discoidin doma

Transduction of cellular signals by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is stringently regulated to prevent the deleterious effects of unrestrained GPCR signaling. The rapid termination of signaling mediated by agonist-occupied GPCRs is referred to as homologous desensitization and involves the foll

Fear-like behaviors are produced by intracerebroventricular CRF administration (Meloni et al., 2006, Radulovic et al., 1999), as well its administration into specific DC_AC50 receptor areas such as the amygdala (Daniels et al., 2004, Donatti and Leite-Panissi, 2011), the periaqueductal gray matter (

Unlike many forms of SNHL, cCMV may be treatable. The antiviral drug valganciclovir (VGCV) has been proposed to improve hearing, speech, and language outcomes associated with this infection [6]. A recent publication from the CASG (Collaborative Antiviral Study Group) reported that a six-month course

The major concern of PDE-5-I use in liver cirrhosis is the potentially harmful effect on systemic blood pressure. Data of clinical studies are conflicting [27], [30], [31], [32], but available patient details suggest that in advanced liver cirrhosis, PDE-5-Is lower systemic blood pressure to a great

Methods Results First, we compared Aβ plaque number, Aβ concentration, and neurobehavior functions between naive APP/PS1 and APP/PS1xEP1−/− mice. Significantly lower Aβ burden in APP/PS1xEP1−/− mice was evidenced by fewer plaques in the hippocampal area and a lower concentration of soluble Aβ42

It has been reported that PGE2 increases expression of the survivin mRNA (Baratelli et al. 2005) and promotes the stabilization of the survivin protein in some tumor azidothymidine (Krysan et al. 2003). However, it is unclear whether PGE2 affects the expression of survivin mRNA or promotes the stabi

Repulsive interactions towards undesirable substrates are arguably a very efficient means to implement specificity [8]. In particular, it could be assumed that discrimination against a substrate that is larger than the cognate substrate may be achieved easily by restricting the active site and explo

Interestingly, our analyses of human PBMCs using a monoclonal antibody against EBI2 showed that the expression pattern of human EBI2 is largely overlapping with that in mice. Especially Th17 Melatonin showed homogeneous high expression of EBI2 compared with Th1 cells, which contained a fraction of c

Because of the important role of the DDB1-CUL4B interaction for CUL4B-based E3 ligases, disruption of the DDB1-CUL4B interaction could be an effective approach to treat cancer. Therefore, we developed an in vitro HTS assay based on yeast cell growth inhibition to identify compounds that could disrup
