  Histamine functions as a key neurotransmitter in multiple circuits to control various behaviors. In Drosophila photoreceptor, histamine is produced de novo by histidine decarboxylase (Burg et al., 1993); meanwhile, maintaining normal histamine content also depends on the histamine recycling pathway

  Despite these studies, little is known about the regulation of defence genes during AM root colonization. In the present study, we characterized the Ptc52 gene from tomato (named here as SlPtc52), a member of the gene family of non-heme oxygenases, and analysed its molecular characteristics. This ge

  The data presented here support a dynamic and complex interplay among labile heme, BACH1 and HO-1. It appears also that metabolites of heme degradation may participate in the mechanistic regulation of the various factors examined. Our results point to the possibility that the HO-1 pathway restricts

  Introduction Initial studies of cancer metabolism in the early 1920s showed that the cancer phenotype for glucose metabolism is unique, with increased abilities to take up glucose and produce lactate, even under aerobic conditions [1]. This pathway, called aerobic glycolysis or the Warburg effec

  A similar symbiotic relationship has been reported in the brain, where increased gradients of lactate secreted by astrocytes enables neurons to import and use this nutrient, a process referred to the ‘neuron–astrocyte lactate shuttle’ [16]. Similarly, lactate-based metabolic coupling established by

  As disclosed in our preceding paper, medicinal chemistry SAR optimization of an HTS hit led to the discovery of , a potent and selective GPR119 agonist. This scaffold differs significantly from the ‘classical’ GPR119 pharmacophore, exemplified by the examples and (). Notably, flavopiridol lacks

  2021-12-18

  

  GlyRs are members of the superfamily of Cys-loop receptors (CLRs) [3]. They form postsynaptic pentameric receptor complexes of α1 and β subunits anchored via the scaffolding protein gephyrin [4]. GlyRs are composed of several domains with the large N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD) important for

  Characterization and regional localization of Glu transporters Molecular studies led to the description of five subtypes of plasma membrane Glu transporters termed in accordance to their human or rodent origin (Kanai and Hediger, 1992, Pines et al., 1992, Storck et al., 1992). In humans, these tr

  Because (AM-3189) had limited efficacy on rodent GPR40, we used two rodent models expressing human GPR40 to demonstrate efficacy of (AM-3189). First, we used human islet transplanted nude mice. In this model, endogenous pancreatic β-cells were ablated using streptozotocin, and mice were rescued to

  Our study has some limitations that should be considered when the results are interpreted. First, we did not measure the protein levels of Bax and Bcl2, due to time and budget limitations. Although simultaneous measurements of both mRNA and protein levels are complementary for a better understanding

  Introduction It is well known that conventional cancer treatment strategies, such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy all have their own limitations, which lead to an unsatisfactory therapeutic effect. Under this situation, the combination of two or more therapeutic strategies has recently

  To our knowledge, the putative role of ET-1 and ETB-R in oligodendroglioma progression was not documented so far. Using primary cultures of grade B oligodendroglial tumor cells, we have here assessed the functionality of ETB-R expression in these tumors. Confocal microscopy analysis confirmed the st

  Metabolic adaptation is an important survival strategy for cancer cells within the hypoxic tumor environment. Under the condition of O2 limitation, metabolic pathways shift from energy-efficient oxidative phosphorylation to the anaerobic glycolysis pathway for the purpose of ATP generation [13,43].
