  2023-05-29

  

  Placental cells also express P450 aromatase (CYP19A1, encoded by CYP19A1). In the placenta, this enzyme requires an external source of androgens, provided by the adrenal gland of the fetus, to form estrogen. The fetal adrenal gland produces dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) [9] and, in the placenta, it

  2023-05-29

  

  The activity of MMPs is regulated at the level of gene transcription or by the enzymatic activation of latent enzymes. Inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and IL-6 are elevated in synovial fluid, synovium and cartilage in patients with OA, and these cyto

  2023-05-26

  

  Within the PARP family, TIPARP is most evolutionarily conserved with PARP12 (ARTD12) and PARP13 (ARTD13) [27,28,41]. All three proteins contain at least one RNA-type CCCH zinc finger domain, a poly-ADP-ribose binding WWE domain and a PARP catalytic domain (Fig. 1). PARP13 is catalytically inactive,

  Systematic administration of ABT-702 (4-amino-5-(3-bromophenyl)-7-(6-morpholino-pyridin-3-yl) pyrido[2,3-d] pyrimidine), a potent and selective non-nucleoside AK inhibitor, also generates analgesic effects in animal models of pain (Jarvis et al., 2000, Kowaluk et al., 2000, Suzuki et al., 2001), sug

  2023-05-26

  

  The gene SRD5A2 encodes the 5-α-reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. Although dihydrotestosterone levels are considerably lower than testosterone, dihydrotestosterone has a five-fold stronger binding capacity to the androgen receptor and, thereby, a considerably mo

  2023-05-26

  

  A rational approach for the design of new steroid compounds as possible competitive inhibitors of CYP17 include chemical modification at C17 of the enzyme's natural substrates, pregnenolone (1) and progesterone (2), introducing groups with moderate to strong dipole properties at C20, such as oxime a

  2023-05-26

  

  Previously, using a P-lacZ reporter gene system, it has been shown that the β-galactosidase activity was 9-fold higher in the stationary phase Nimodipine when compared with those of the exponential phase [15]. Furthermore, inositol supplementation did not have a major effect on the expression of β-

  2023-05-26

  

  The main function of ATR/CHK1 signaling is activating Triciribine checkpoint arrest for S and G2 phases in mammalian cells. There are three checkpoints in response to DNA damage: G1/S, G2/M, and S-phase. The G2/M checkpoint can prevent cells that incur DNA damage in G2 phase or progress into G2 pha

• Inflammations lead to the perturbation of aromatase

  2023-05-26

  

  Inflammations lead to the perturbation of aromatase enzyme [112], which normally is responsible for a broad array of critical functions. Chemotherapy targets this enzyme, so this treatment option is never side-effect-free and not fully-effective. Therefore, the mankind should be careful so as not to

  This unsuspected antagonistic interaction of androgen with OXER1 could therefore explain the effect of plant derived compounds with this ligand-receptor system. For example, wedelolactone, a coumestan found in Eclipta alba (false daisy) and in Wedelia calendulacea that is the major component of ecli

• Calcium entry through postsynaptic NMDARs

  2023-05-25

  

  Calcium entry through postsynaptic NMDARs activates intracellular signaling cascades including Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and calcineurin. The spatiotemporal abundance of this Ca2+/CaM complex determines the direction of synaptic plasticity, resulting in LTP (Malinow

  2023-05-25

  

  Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that plays a central role in regulating the maturation, activation and stability of numerous “client proteins” that drive the development and progression of many cancers. Therefore, inhibition of Hsp90 would result in degradation of the client p

  In contrast to the beneficial treatment of skin-inflammation with PAH containing coal tar, epidemiology showed that environmental pollution, containing AHR-activating PAH, lead to more eczema [80]. Of note, other epidemiological data suggested that Th17 cell polarization may be enhanced air pollutio
