  2020-03-07

  

  Studies using SERPINB1-deficient mice established the significant role for SERPINB1 in protecting lung antimicrobial proteins from proteolysis during microbe infection and its regulatory role in sustaining the balance of neutrophil reserve [15]. Neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs) (elastase, cathepsi

  2020-03-07

  

  Recent studies support the concept that dietary metabolites, such as retinoids and AHR ligands, regulate ILC3 function. These metabolites act through intracellular nuclear receptors that function as transcription factors, thereby controlling ILC activity through the stimulation of specific transcrip

  2020-03-07

  

  MicroRNA (miRNA) is a class of highly conserved, non-coding small molecules containing 19–25 nucleotides. miRNAs are involved in the regulation of genes associated with cancer development and progression and therefore can act as oncogenes, by contributing to tumor formation,17, 18 or as tumor suppre

  2020-03-07

  

  Based on the deduced amino LY 2109761 sequence of the catalytic subunit of rG3DH, we could find sequence features that are highly conserved in FAD-harboring dehydrogenase, which include FAD binding motif and sequential cysteine residues in Cysteine-rich region. Several dehydrogenases share similari

  2020-03-07

  

  Atg4 cleaves Atg8 at the peptide bond on the glycine residue at the C-terminus, thus allowing the conjugation of Atg8 to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) with the participation of other autophagy molecules. Atg4 can also serve as a deconjugating enzyme, which cleaves the amide bond of the conjugated At

  2020-03-07

  

  As discussed in the introduction, many pregnant women take medications such as nifedipine and indinavir, which are considerably metabolized by CYP3A [26]. Previous reports have also shown increased CYP3A activity following pregnancy [7], [9], which is consistent with our results. However, previous s

  2020-03-06

  

  Besides the enhanced expression of costimulatory and adhesion proteins, also the expression of the CD83 surface molecule is strongly enhanced during DC maturation (Banchereau and Steinman 1998; Banchereau et al. 2000). In fact, CD83 is a major cell surface marker for fully mature DC, as it can not b

  2020-03-06

  

  Results from experiments in model systems have suggested that the DPRs translated from the HRE of C9ORF72 are toxic and play a role in disease pathogenesis (reviewed in Taylor et al. (2016)). Although the DPRs are present in neurons and glia in various regions of the central nervous system (CNS) ear

  Primary human GBM neurospheres expressed high levels of the metabolic enzyme fatty acyl-CoA synthetase VL3 (ACSVL3) that were associated with CSCs self-renewal and tumorigenic capacity. ACSVL3 knockdown significantly decreased ALDH levels, indicating its contribution to cell metabolism and maintenan

  2020-03-06

  

  Our previous studies have shown that in a preimplantation mouse embryo the proportion of inner to outer cells (i.e. precursors of ICM and TE, respectively) is regulated by a different frequency of differentiative cell divisions at the 8- and 16-cell stages. Low number of inner blastomeres generated

  The mechanism by which OC use leads to impaired glucose tolerance is yet to be fully clarified. Decreased insulin sensitivity appears to be mainly accounted for by estrogenic component and this effect may be modified by progestogenic component [14], [15]. Estrogenic effect on glucose tolerance has b

  In order to determine the physiological roles of WT (wild type) EWSR1, Dr. Lee\'s group established a conventional Ewsr1 KO mouse [38]. Since then, the Ewsr1 KO (−/−) mouse model has successfully been utilized to decipher many important in vivo roles of EWSR1 (Fig. 1). EWSR1 deficiency alters m

  2020-03-06

  

  In addition to PGC1α, transcriptional co-repressors such as NCOR and RIP140 participate in oxidative muscle remodeling induced by exercise, whereby reductions in their expression and the resulting de-repression of downstream TFs activates oxidative gene expression (Seth et al., 2007, Yamamoto et al.

  Emphysema is an important component of COPD, which is responsible for airflow limitation. In the present study, a significant airspace enlargement was observed 21 days after elastase administration. Interestingly, daily administration of olaparib provided greater protection against emphysema as comp

  Introduction Proteins play an important role in cellular functions; however, being and remaining properly folded is necessary for their function. Understanding the stability of the protein is necessary to investigate the folding of proteins, as well as their conformation, functions and interactions
