  2021-09-11

  

  Glutamate-aspartate transporters or excitatory amino bromodomain transporters (EAATs) are essential for the maintenance of glutamate homeostasis. EAATs are widely distributed in central neurons and glial cells (Danbolt, 2001, Martinez-Lozada et al., 2011). They are driven by Na + and K+ gradients (

  2021-09-11

  

  Although it is mainly a glial protein, 5–10% of total GLT-1 represents a neuronal form located at presynaptic terminals, but its physiological role remains elusive (for discussion, see (Rimmele and Rosenberg, 2016)). Nevertheless, this amount might be significant since GLT-1 has been estimated to be

  2021-09-11

  

  In mammals, the primary cilium is considered a hub for signal transduction. The cilium has previous been associated with transduction of several pathways including Wnt (Corbit et al., 2008, McDermott et al., 2010, Tran et al., 2014), PDGF (Clement et al., 2013, Schneider et al., 2010, Schneider et a

  2021-09-11

  

  Previously, we have shown that ghrelin and cannabinoids stimulate hypothalamic AMPK activity (Kola et al., 2005). In contrast, both the orexigenic compounds have inhibitory effects on AMPK activity in the liver and visceral fat (Kola et al., 2005). In this study, we were able to reproduce our previo

  2021-09-10

  

  We next determined the selectivity profile of the most potent GPR40 agonists (4k–n) against other free fatty calcium sensing receptor receptors (FFA3/GPR41, FFA2/GPR43 and FFA4/GPR120). FFA2 and FFA3 agonists have a preference in binding short-chain fatty acids while FFA1 and FFA4 have a higher aff

  2021-09-10

  

  We detected the FFAR2 protein with a molecular mass of about 50 kDa, which is comparable to the main band detected in pigs (Li et al., 2014) but different from the calculated size based on the sequence (Wang et al., 2009). The size difference can be explained, at least in part, by glycosylation site

  Last, we demonstrate that the role of EZH2 as a transcriptional activator, with AR being a key target, coexists with its conventional catalytic role in gene repression and plays important oncogenic functions in AR-driven PCa (Figure 7F). Enzymatic EZH2 inhibitors such as EPZ and GSK126, although eff

  Based on the inhibitory potency of C646 for HDAC6, we monitored α-tubulin acetylation; an HDAC6 substrate. C646 treatment provided pronounced inhibition of α-tubulin acetylation after both 6 and 20h of incubation, which argues against HDAC6 inhibition by C646 in RAW264.7 cells. The observed effect o

  MAP4Ks act at the level of MST1/2 to phosphorylate LATS1/2 and regulate the Hippo pathway (Box 1). Of particular interest is the involvement of MAP4K4, a key metabolic regulator [88] and common polymorphisms in the MAP4K4 locus are associated with T2D and insulin resistance [89] in adipogenesis.

  The relaxant response to carperitide was influenced neither by the removal of the endothelium nor by treatment with the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor or nitric oxide scavenger. This result was to be expected as previous studies showing that the vasodilator action of atrial natriuretic peptide is e

  We first set out to identify the minimum pharmacophore. Early structure activity relationships (SAR) indicated that the chloro substituents were not required and that the benzisoxazole moiety could be replaced by a number of other groups. A broad survey of “left-hand” hydrophobic moieties was conduc

  Discussion The GlyR is responsible for mediating much of the neuronal inhibition in the brainstem and spinal cord, although these receptors are also found in a number of higher brain regions (Baer et al., 2009, Jonsson et al., 2012, Jonsson et al., 2009, Lynch, 2004).

  To further investigate if GPR40 was the functional target of these phenylpropiolic Boc-Phe-Osu analogs, GW-1100, a selective antagonist of GPR40-mediated Ca2+ elevations in HEK293 cells with an IC50 value equal to 1 μM, was used to inhibit agonist-induced intracellular calcium flux [15].
