  Structure and function of EPAC isoforms EPACs are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the Ras-like GTPases Rap1 and Rap2 [9]. There are two mammalian EPAC isoforms, EPAC1 and EPAC2 1, 2 (Figure 1). Whereas EPAC1 displays a wide tissue distribution, the expression of EPAC2 is more restr

  Another interesting finding regarding substrate selectivity of iPLA2-VIA in whole cellular systems stems from the observation that some of the major species hydrolyzed by the enzyme contain a 16:1 fatty orexin a at the sn-2 position [57,119], raising the possibility that iPLA2-VIA may constitute a

  In pregnancy, maternal uterine spiral artery (SA) remodeling is essential for ensuring efficient blood flow to the developing fetus. A subset of CD49a+Eomes+ decidual NK Flavin adenine dinucleotide (dNK) that actively secretes GFs, such as pleiotrophin and osteoglycin, have recently been described i

  The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is an important farmed fish with an XX/XY sex-determining system. The availability of the whole genome sequence of tilapia and tissue transcriptomes (Brawand et al., 2014), together with its gonadal transcriptomes at different developmental stages (Tao et al.

  Consistent with prior reports, this study also found the level of 11 cytokines (MIF, IL-1Ra, CTACK, M-CSF, Basic FGF, VCAM-1, SDF-1α, IL-8, IL-16, PDGF-β, and GRO-α) significantly decreased in the sera of adult HFMD patients in comparison with controls. MIF is a pro-inflammaory cytokine that is asso

  Stressful life events are modulators of mood and can trigger a variety of destructive behavior, including drug abuse and relapse in addicts (Association, 2013; Chen et al., 2012; Sinha, 2009). Likewise, drug-associated stimuli evoke a negative affective state in abstinent drug users. Compelling evid

  2020-10-14

  

  Following mutagenesis of the glucarpidase gene of Pseudomonas sp. strain RS-16 [30], approximately 73% of the clones retained enzyme activity, as indicated by the clear zones and yellow precipitate surrounding their colonies. However, there were very few that had ‘halos’ around colonies that were da

  Next, our exploration shifted to modifications at the lateral chain of the benzoquinone nucleus (SAR 2). Considering that the CK2 inhibitory activity is favoured by the presence of the -Ph-4-NO2 (SAR 1), the subsequent analogues were investigated with this moiety retained. The influence of the side

  Thus, the exact mechanisms responsible for progestogen-induced changes in immune response are not known but the effects are believed to be exerted through receptor-mediated interactions. Since the mPR α is known to be a G protein-coupled receptor in fish, downstream signaling cascades via secondary

  Prostanoids typically act in an autocrine and paracrine fashion by binding to specific receptors in target DHT and there is evidence that both PGE2 and prostacyclin may be required for the optimal activation of angiogenesis (Hata and Breyer, 2004). PGE2 and prostacyclin bind to their specific 7-mem

  Neonatal hydronephrosis induced by TCDD exposure via lactation has a critical window for onset: the incidence of this disease peaks around PNDs 1–4, followed by a rapid decrease to a substantially null level in adulthood (Couture-Haws et al., 1991; Yoshioka et al., 2016). The EP1 protein was localiz
