  In principle, in vitro techniques for assessing enzyme induction might include the use of cultured hepatocytes, precision-cut liver slices, immortalized Cap Firefly Luciferase mRNA lines (such as those derived from hepatomas) and reporter gene constructs (where appropriate cells are transfected wit

  Introduction The innate immune system stands the first line of the defense that protects the host from viral intrusion, depending on pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and the corresponding pathways [[1], [2], [3], [4]]. The pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) of the invading viruses

  2021-01-06

  

  Introduction As a strong analgesic, morphine is often used to treat acute and chronic pain. However, morphine is a substance with low lipid solubility that slowly enters the nerve tissue through the blood–brain barrier and produces neurotoxicity. Morphine-induced neurotoxicity can be produced aft

  Introduction Nucleic acids are polyanionic and their negatively charged nucleotides allow the binding of cationic dyes, such as acridine orange (3,6-dimethylaminoacridine). Acridine orange (AO) was first synthesized in 1889, but its ability to bind nucleic acids was only reported in 1940, with grea

  Rationale and Conventional Use of Alkylating Agents and Platinum Derivatives in Clinical Practice After the attack on Bari Harbor in 1943 revealed the effects of mustard gas on bone marrow depletion and the first therapeutic outcomes in lymphoma, alkylating agents gradually became a gold standard

  DHODH activity has been traditionally measured with the standard colorimetric assay that monitors 2,6-dichloroindophenol (DCIP) reduction as absorbance decrease at 600 nm . This assay has permitted the identification of several families of DHODH inhibitors in a successful high-throughput screening (

  2021-01-06

  

  The two isoforms LDH-A and LDH-B catalyze the same reaction, conversion of pyruvate to lactate at the end of glycolysis. LDH-A is expressed in the liver. Humans with a hereditary deficiency of the A or B LDH isoforms are free of symptoms, except for muscle rigidity and myoglobinuria following strenu

  2021-01-06

  

  Members of the Nudix family typically contain a 23-amino-acid sequence (Nudix box) of GxExREUxEExGU, where U is usually Ile, Leu, or Val and x represents any amino acid. The EUxEE core residues serve as anchors for an Mg ligand that associates with a characteristic pyrophosphate linkage that is comm

  In conclusion, adipose PGD2 suppressed the lipolysis by decreasing the intracellular cAMP level through DP2R. Therefore, PGD2 enhanced adipocyte differentiation (lipid accumulation) through both repression of the lipolysis via DP2R and activation of the lipogenesis via PPARγ. Thus, L-PGDS and DP2R a

  Outcome of COX-2 overexpression Although a causal role for COX-2 has been proposed, mechanisms by which COX-2 function contributes to the pathogenesis of hyperplastic disease are not well defined. To examine if there is any correlation between COX-2 and p53 protein levels, Kumagai et al. [15] rec

  Acknowledgments Introduction Understanding the characteristics of the Amazonian Dark soils “Terras Pretas de Índio” (TPIs) is of ecological importance, because the TPI soils represent a residue-based model for tropical sustainable agriculture (Sombroek et al., 2003, Neves et al., 2003, Cohen-

  Due to the results of the experiment we decided to deploy our cloud service infrastructure with two platform-independent servers instead of one or three. This decision was based on two factors: (a) the use of more than one server is useful to avoid a bottleneck in the system, and (b) using more than

  General Characteristics of the Type II Dehydrogenases Alternative NAD(P)H dehydrogenases conduct the reaction of the rotenone-insensitive oxidation of cytosolic and mitochondrial matrix NADH and/or NADPH (Fig. 1) (Melo et al., 2004, Rasmusson et al., 2004, Rasmusson et al., 2008). They catalyze t

  The cytoplasmic domain of classical cadherins is highly conserved and can interact with different cytosolic proteins. Typically this domain is associated with catenin family members, including p120 catenin, β-catenin, and α-catenin, which form a cadherin-catenin complex (Fig. 1). The catenin family

  We propose two different pathways for the production of this species: either that described by Dooley [24], where the phenol ring is first activated by binding of its oxygen to copper, or one where a copper-peroxo species would directly react with an active site tyrosine residue (Scheme 1B).
