  In this study, we intended to explore the efficacy of artesunate on liver fibrosis and further clarify its potential molecular mechanism. Artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone obtained from a Chinese plant Artemisia annua [27]. Artesunate, as a stable derivative of artemisinin, is an effective drug f

  Acknowledgments Introduction Stress plays a key role in the etiology and/or exacerbation of major depressive disorder characterized by loss of energy, feelings of hopelessness and anhedonia [1]. Ample evidence clearly suggests that endocannabinoids (eCBs) participate in stress-associated neurona

  Characterization of quantal exocytosis by amperometry A secretory vesicle experiences four phases during exocytosis: (i) cargo packaging & translocation, (ii) vesicle docking & priming; (iii) fusion pore formation; (iv) fusion pore expansion and cargo secretion (Fig. 1a). The release of monoamine

  Biochemical and genetic studies indicate that the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery is crucial for Hh exovesicle packaging and morphogen gradient function 39., 43., 44.. In vertebrates, ESCRT proteins promote the release of Shh exovesicles to maintain progenitor cell

  2022-01-10

  

  Considering that TGF-β1 plays a pivotal role in inflammation, renal fibrosis, cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, it has been viewed as a vital mediator in kidney disease [49,50]. Studies have demonstrated that TGF-β1 is upregulated in both human and experimental kidney diseases [51,52]. TG

  Mechanisms of HDAC inhibition-dependent cardioprotection Multiple preclinical studies have demonstrated potent cardioprotective benefits of HDAC inhibition in murine models of myocardial stress, including I/R [19,25,29,30]. TSA reduces myocardial infarct size by up to 50% [19,25]. In addition, tr

  2022-01-10

  

  DNA methylation is a kind of epigenetic modifications that can be described as a heritable alteration in gene expression, without any changes in the DNA sequence. Recent evidences suggest that the regulation of DNA methylation status is a frequent and early event in prostate carcinogenesis. For exam

  Migratory properties of Treg are extremely important for the potential in vivo application. Therefore, the observed expression of CXCR3 on almost all obtained insulin-specific Treg is crucial for directing 7026 into the inflamed tissue (in this case pancreatic islets). CXCR3 responds to CXCL9, CXCL

  One clue to how evolution has solved such spatiotemporal challenges comes from studies revealing that lymph node (LN) organization is more complex than originally presumed, suggesting that steady-state microanatomical features are crucial for effective immune responses (reviewed by Qi et al., 2014).

  Indeed, in women with different causes of epithelial layer damage, HIV infection rates have been reported to be very high [2], [3]. As observed from in vivo studies, disruption of the epithelium due to pathogens [45], [46] or chemical irritants [47], has resulted in women being at a higher risk of H

  Generally speaking, the regulation of GnIH on gonadotropins synthesis and release, although controversial, could be direct and/or indirect via GnRH, among others peptides. In this sense, different scenarios have been reported in vertebrates. In mammalian and avian species, GnIH fibers reach the medi

  The observed increase in macroscopic conductance could be due to a left shift in the open state probability vs. voltage curve for the high-activity state causing an increase in the open state probability at all potentials. However, an increase of the apparent single channel conductance cannot be ent

  As recently reviewed, a picture is emerging where metabolites through GPCR sensors act as important autocrine and paracrine regulators of basic metabolic mechanisms (Husted et al., 2017). The concept of 20-HETE acting through FFAR1 as an autocrine amplifier of GDIS on β x gal together with, for exa

  Results of studies on fish FBPase are somewhat confusing: although fishes skeletal muscles possess relatively high FBPase activity (Knox et al., 1980, Lushchak et al., 2001) and the isozyme present therein has kinetic properties typical to all vertebrates muscle FBPases (Rosenmann et al., 1977), inv

  FBPase deficiency is a very rare inborn error of fructose BX-912 of autosomal recessive inheritance. This disorder usually occurs in the first year of life through ketotic hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis triggered by catabolic episodes such as prolonged fasting or febrile infections (Steinmann et
