• Modulation of the cannabinoid system

  2021-11-06

  

  Modulation of the cannabinoid system has been reported to exert anti-parkinsonian properties through different mechanisms. On one hand, cannabinoids have neuroprotective properties in different rodent models of PD, both through a CB1/CB2 receptor-independent mechanism (Lastres-Becker et al., 2005) a

  2021-11-06

  

  So far, several methods have been used to monitor the level of GJC and its regulation in astrocytes studied in acute FRAX486 slices (see Giaume et al., 2012). This mainly includes approaches based either on electrophysiological properties of gap junction channels or on “dye coupling” experiments th

  2021-11-06

  

  uPAR promotes cell-associated proteolysis by binding to uPA which locally converts plasminogen into active plasmin [10]. Ligand-engaged uPAR also acts as a potent regulator of cell migration and matrix attachment. Being a membrane receptor, uPAR needs to interact with extracellular matrix (ECM) prot

  2021-11-06

  

  Previous research has suggested that differences in spatiotemporal regulation of intracellular signaling pathways can confer specificity to cellular responses (Marshall, 1995). Conventional approaches based on gain- or loss-of-function genetic manipulations or small-molecule inhibitors, however, lac

  2021-11-06

  

  Septic shock, a condition where endothelium-derived substances most likely play an important role, is often accompanied by cardiac dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, systemic hypotension and impaired oxygen utilisation with systemic acidosis (Vincent, 1998). Experimental endotoxaemia shows a simil

  2021-11-06

  

  While considering the molecular pathogenesis of an MPNST, the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK, mTOR/AKT, p53, and PTEN pathways associated with tumor growth have been described (McCubrey et al., 2012). The involvement of receptor tyrosine kinases such as EGFR and TAM receptor families, and its associated molecular

  Introduction Epigenetic mechanisms modulate heritable phenotypic changes that are not dictated by changes in DNA sequences. The link between epigenetic modifications and cancer development has been established [1], [2]. Histone modifications represent an important class of epigenetic mechanisms tha

  2021-11-05

  

  Using embelin and its analogs as surrogate GPR84 agonists we discovered that GPR84 couples to G12 and G13 signaling pathways in addition to Gi, linking receptor function to Rho/Rac signaling and modulation of the cytoskeleton. In primary human macrophages, GPR84 activation leads to Gβγ signaling, Er

  2021-11-05

  

  Increasing evidence has shown that blockade of glutamate uptake leads to aberrant behavioral consequences. For example, intracerebroventricular (i.c.v) injection or microinjection of the GLT-1 inhibitor, dihydrokainic AZD3264 sale (DHK), into the prefrontal cortex induces anhedonia [8,9]. Microinje

  Beside these studies related to food, several groups examined the role of ghrelin in the actions of psychostimulants. Modulation of the ghrelin system and food restriction alter locomotor sensitization, DA release in the NAc, and CPP induced by cocaine, amphetamine, and nicotine (Abizaid et al., 201

  Introduction G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent one of the largest family of receptors involved in cell membrane signal transduction and have become one of the leading therapeutic targets worldwide (Chakraborty and Chattopadhyay, 2015; Bouvier, 2001; Sriram and Insel, 2018). GPCRs sign

  In our study, the changes in the α4 and δ subunit expression were accompanied by a significant increase in γ2 subunit expression in almost all analysed hippocampal structures in the fully kindled animals. In contrast, an acute injection of PTZ at a convulsive dose (55mg/kg) evoked a potent decrease

  In recent years, it was discovered in animals that certain types of non-apoptotic cell death are strictly dependent on iron and ROS. The term ‘ferroptosis’, derived from the Greek word ‘ptosis’ (falling) and the Latin word ‘ferrum’ (iron), is coined to describe such cell death phenomena. Cytoplasmic
