  Recent studies have supported the existence of an inward RAS regulatory mechanism in which AT1 receptors downregulate angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and subsequently impair angiotensin-(1-7) generation and MAS functionality (Jessup et al., 2006, Gallagher et al., 2008, Xia et al., 2009, Pern

• Negative regulation of AR expression

  2024-07-20

  

  Negative regulation of AR expression by NFκB was also correlated with the ‘age-dependent desensitisation’ of androgen action in the rat liver (Supakar et al., 1995). In this case the binding site was mapped upstream of the gene to sequences −555 to −565 bp, that binds heterodimers of p65 and p50, as

  Bioinformatics tools are becoming more powerful and reliable due to the growing number and availability of experimentally determined protein structures (Arnold et al., 2006, Suplatov et al., 2015, Wiltgen and Tilz, 2009). The SWISS-MODEL and MODELLER programs are most frequently used for homology or

  ABCA2 is a sterol-responsive gene The first evidence to demonstrate that ABCA2 expression responded to sterol loading was provided in an experiment involving monocyte to macrophage differentiation in vitro. Upon sterol loading with enzymatically degraded LDL (eLDL), ABCA2 expression increased onl

  The activation of P1Rs modulates the activity of many ion channels and receptors (Sebastião and Ribeiro, 2009) and the recent detection of P1Rs at the postsynaptic level of the adult NMJ (Garcia et al., 2014) makes potentially possible an adenosine-mediated modulation of the nicotinic Cy5 TSA recep

  Various cardiovascular diseases show a high occurrence of autophagosomes. Whereas basal autophagy is required for the proper functioning of cardiomyocytes [82], the deletion of Atg5 gene in myocardium shows a high risk of cardiomyopathy [83]. Hamacher et al. observed that an upregulation of Bnip3, a

  In our previous report, we synthesized derivatives with some straight chain residues on the 2-position of the 3-cyanopyridine ring of compound 1. In this time we tried to introduce aromatic ring on the chain of the 2-position. Namely, we replaced the hydroxyl-alkylamino group in the position 2 of t

  5- and 12/15-LO are members of the lipoxygenase family that convert arachidonic E-4031 mg into lipid mediators such as leukotriene B4 (LTB) and 12()-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) and 15()-HETE, respectively. Evidence from several in vitro and in vivo studies has shown that activation of the 5

  Breast cancer The interactions between 15-LOX and COX enzymes also affect the outcome of breast cancer. Indomethacin, a COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitor, decreased the growth of human breast cancer (BC) cells in nude mice, as well as slowed the rate of lung metastasis formation [41]. The levels of 12-HE

  To further investigate the role of cholesterol in the Rh2-induced cytotoxicity, we then focused on the U937 cell line, which is cholesterol auxotroph and considered as a valuable model to study the importance of cholesterol in membrane structure and function (Billheimer et al., 1987), and used the e

  Among steroid saponins, ginsenosides are the active components of ginseng, a well-known chinese medicinal plant. More than hundreds of different ginsenosides have been isolated from ginseng and have shown in the past to be membrane active substances and to influence the membrane by modulating lipid

  Since artemisinin shows low solubility and poor oral bioavailability [8], [9], derivatizations of artemisinin were carried out and yielded different semisynthetic antimalarial drugs such as artemether and sodium artesunate. Artemether (decahydro-10-methoxy-3,6,9-trimethyl-3,12-epoxy-12H-pyrano [4.3-

  It has been reported that leukotrienes and their receptors, e.g. the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLT1) may promote L-741,626 injury (Ding et al., 2007) and that increased 5-LOX expression and activity lead to production of brain-toxic molecules (Khan et al., 2010).
