  AHR-mediated MMP1 upregulation has been shown in response to tobacco smoke [32]. Tobacco smoke contains various AHR ligands such as benzo[a]pyrene. Both benzo[a]pyrene [15] and FICZ [13] are high-affinity ligands for AHR and upregulate CYP1A1 and CYP1B1. FICZ is rapidly degraded by CYP1A1 [20], [33]

  The gene SRD5A2 encodes the 5-α-reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. Although dihydrotestosterone levels are considerably lower than testosterone, dihydrotestosterone has a five-fold stronger binding capacity to the androgen receptor and, thereby, a considerably mo

  Nevertheless, though the 5-LO pathway dictates the production of lipid mediators with opposite roles in the immune reactions, like LTs and LXA4 [32], our results seemed to corroborate others that pointed to LTB4 as an outstanding mediator involved in persistent and chronic inflammatory skin diseases

  From our in vivo studies and previously reported findings [25], we have found that orteronel possesses excellent oral BA. Indeed, single oral dosing of orteronel at doses of 0.3–10.0mg/kg decreased serum DHEA levels in a dose-dependent manner. Of interest, DHEA levels did not return to levels compar

  In the present study we sought to decipher the role of ATP-citrate lyase and of the mitochondrial NADH-dependent Mae in the oleaginous yeast Y. lipolytica. Indeed, although this yeast is one of the major models for lipid metabolism, the function of these enzymes is still not clear. As the study of t

  2024-10-14

  

  Since obesity appears to impact leptin and adiponectin levels in opposite manners, several studies have suggested that the serum adiponectin/leptin ratio may be a key parameter in indicating the relative risk of postmenopausal breast cancer (Ollberding et al, 2013, Cleary et al, 2009). Therapeutic s

  Introduction Heterotrimeric Gαβγ proteins mediate signal transduction through seven-transmembrane domain receptors. In response to neurotransmitters or hormones, activated receptors bind GTP via the Gα subunit leading to the dissociation of Gα from the Gβγ dimer. G proteins regulate the levels of s

  Introduction It is well known that when epithelial cells are deprived of anchorage, they undergo detachment-induced apoptosis, also known as anoikis. Cancer cells, by contrast, are able to suppress anoikis and survive under anchorage -independent conditions in the circulating system, which is tho

  Synaptic scaling up is induced within primary visual Concanamycin A (V1) by brief sensory deprivation (Desai et al., 2002; Lambo and Turrigiano, 2013). Several studies have examined the transcriptional changes within extracts of V1 following visual deprivation protocols (Lachance and Chaudhuri, 200

  Another important finding of our study is the observation that high glucose per se does not affect TER in mature HREC monolayers; but at the same time it does upregulate ICAM-1 directly and activates HRECs to leukocyte adhesion. This would imply that high glucose affects TER in mature HREC monolayer

  Blocking the action of CREB with the C646 inhibitor together with increasing Akt activation with the SC79 agonist is particularly interesting as it significantly reduced wound closure time from 7 days (which is required for complete closure of control hTECs exposed to DMSO) to only 4 days (when hTEC

  The AHR functions in the immune system – a tsunami of exciting findings The research of recent years has convincingly established an important function of the AHR in linking chemical environmental cues to immune responses [21,22], and reviewed in [1,23]. As a side effect, a view of the AHR as “Th

  The results of cell culture models were further supported by in vivo studies in mice treated with PXR and/or AhR agonists, PCN and β-NF. In these mice, AhR-regulated cyp1a1, and cyp1a2 were suppressed by PXR activation as determined by real time Q-PCR (Fig. 3). The level of PXR mRNA was not changed
