  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

  2021-04-08

  

  Most xenobiotics undergo biotransformation before being excreted. Such biotransformation is classified into two phases. In the first phase, the lipophilic substrate is oxidized by the cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) enzyme system, which introduces a single oxygen SANT-1 into the molecule (Moutou et al.,

  Oxysterols modulate the immune responses and as such could be effectors of the tumor environment: 25-OHC impairs IgA production in B-lymphocytes [26] and induces the secretion of the proinflammatory and angiogenic cytokine IL-8 [27], [28]. Of note, oxysterols (in particular 7α,25-OHC) are potent che

  ApicomplexansApicomplexans are unicellular and spore-forming obligate intracellular parasites that occupy diverse host niches (Mogi and Kita 2010). They have remodeled mitochondrial carbon and energy metabolism through reductive evolution. The development of novel drugs is now a very serious challen

  Similarly to the chemokine CCL-5, the level of the chemokine SDF-1 in the groups of individuals with APD did not differ from its level in the control group. However, a slight increase in the level of this chemokine was recorded in the group of women and men with APD and PTSD as compared with the cor

  Introduction Analyses of genomic alterations in cancer have identified epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as one of the most potent “oncogenic driver” kinases that is present in many epithelial tumors including endometrial, breast, prostate, skin, esophagus, lung, stomach, colorectal, and re

  Apart from neutrophil-mediated inflammation, the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines from PGD2/CRTH2 activated macrophages could further aggravate LPS-induced lung injury (Eguchi et al., 2011; Jandl et al., 2016). Interestingly, genetic ablation of CRTH2 diminishes the TNF-α prod

  So far, several important flovonoids and polyphenoilc compounds were subjected to various human studies regarding their potential therapeutic and adverse effects (Ide et al., 2014; Turner et al., 2015; Witte et al., 2014) (Table 1).

  Conflict of interest statement Introduction Endothelins (ETs) are a family of multifunctional, naturally occurring peptides with long-lasting vasoconstrictor and pressor effects (Zhou et al., 2004). They are synthesized as a large protein, the pre-proET-1 or Big ET-1, which is subsequently cle

  A potential weakness of the present study is that it involved population controls rather than family controls, which are a better way of controlling the effects of population stratification (e.g. ethnic group differences in allele frequencies). On the other hand, general population samples do have t

  In order to derive a better understanding of the results from our SAR study, we utilized Glide to model the binding of the SAR compounds with the non-active site pocket of TS-DHFR shown in C. The majority of models position the phenolic moiety of these compounds within the non-active site pocket, wh
