  A great deal of research has focused on candidate medications to modulate dopaminergic mechanisms through which psychomotor stimulants produce addictive effects, i.e., drugs that expressly target the DA transporter, D1-like receptor, or D2-like receptors., , However, effective dopaminergic-based ph

  2020-11-23

  

  DNA methylation is associated with transcriptional silencing of tumor suppressors or other genes important for normal cellular function and plays an important role in the development of cancer and other diseases (such as breast and colorectal cancers) [19]. DNA methyltransferases (MTases) are a fami

  In the present study, we combined activity-based protein profiling, biochemical and genetic approaches to identify the PLCPs involved in the sphingolipid pathway leading to plant PCD. By using Arabidopsis Aliskiren sale and leaves, we demonstrate that this sub-class of plant proteases is activated

  The androgen receptor (AR) is a steroid hormone receptor that plays a crucial role in the normal development of male reproductive tissues, and its high expression and/or relaxation of its regulation are strongly implicated in prostate cancer (PCa) [11]. Androgen binding induces conformational change

  Acknowledgments PGD is an arachadonic acid-derived prostaglandin produced in large quantities when asthmatic lung tissues are challenged by allergens. PGD contracts the airway tissue as well as stimulating an inflammatory response. PGD was also found to be the ligand for a second receptor, DP2 (

  2020-11-23

  

  Transduction of cellular signals by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is stringently regulated to prevent the deleterious effects of unrestrained GPCR signaling. The rapid termination of signaling mediated by agonist-occupied GPCRs is referred to as homologous desensitization and involves the foll

  2020-11-23

  

  Some of the psychoactive actions of nicotine are mediated by the nigrostriatal and mesolimbic pathways (Di Chiara, 2000, Di Chiara et al., 2004). The nigrostriatal pathway originates in the dopaminergic neurons located in the substantia nigra and terminates in the putamen and nucleus caudatus which

  2020-11-23

  

  The COMT gene maps to chromosome 22q11.2 (Grossman et al., 1992) and has two protein isoforms. The differences between S-COMT and longer MB-COMT are in the N-termini, which use alternative translation initiation sites and promoters. These two isoforms display different affinity and capacity for COMT

  Indeed, some studies that examined the morphine response have reported that the (C) allele of rs4818 was associated with a low dose administered compared to that given for individuals with the (G) allele (Rakvag et al., 2008). In a publication about Tunisian patients with cancer by Chatti et al. (2

  2020-11-20

  

  EPAC1 induces SOCS3 gene expression in VECs, resulting in suppression of the JAK–STAT activation initiated by the sIL-6Rα/IL-6 trans-signalling complex [67]. EPAC1 regulates SOCS3 gene induction through the activation of C/EBP and c-Jun transcription factors, which interact directly with the SOCS3 p

  A major open question in the field of lipid mediators is the molecular nature of the PLA2 enzyme involved in the release of DHA and related omega-3 fatty acids from phospholipids as a first committed step for the generation of SPMs. Although by analogy with AA it is often assumed that cPLA2α may ser
