De-novo design of complementary (antisense) peptide mini-receptor inhibitor of interleukin 18 (IL-18).

open access: yes, 2004
Complementary (antisense) peptide mini-receptor inhibitors are complementary peptides designed to be receptor-surrogates that act by binding to selected surface features of biologically important proteins thereby inhibiting protein-cognate receptor ...

Cytokine regulation of adenylate cyclase activity in LLC-PK1 cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Cytokine regulation of adenylate cyclase activity in LLC-PK1 cells. Although several cytokines have been demonstrated to exert pleiotropic responses, there is little information on cytokine regulation of renal tubular epithelial cell function.

Progress on the development of Class A GPCR‐biased ligands

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Class A G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) continue to garner interest for their essential roles in cell signalling and their importance as drug targets. Although numerous drugs in the clinic target these receptors, over 60% GPCRs remain unexploited. Moreover, the adverse effects triggered by the available unbiased GPCR modulators, limit their use and

Comparative proteomic analysis reveals that juvenile hormone binding protein and adenylate kinase may be involved in the molting process of silkworm, Bombyx mori

open access: yesInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2017
The molting is an essential part of the silkworm metamorphosis development. Although previous studies have demonstrated that molting in silkworm is associated with prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH), molting hormone (MH), and juvenile hormone (JH), the ...

Tailoring therapy for heart failure: the pharmacogenomics of adrenergic receptor signaling. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Heart failure is one of the leading causes of mortality in Western countries, and β-blockers are a cornerstone of its treatment. However, the response to these drugs is variable among individuals, which might be explained, at least in part, by genetic ...

Dimerisation of the VIP receptor VIPR2 is essential to its binding VIP and Gαi proteins, and to its functions in breast cancer cells

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Several G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to homodimerise. Dimeric GPCRs may have different properties from their monomers, but the molecular basis and functional significance of GPCR dimerisation remain largely unknown.

Caffeine affects the biological responses of human hematopoietic cells of myeloid lineage via downregulation of the mTOR pathway and xanthine oxidase activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Correction of human myeloid cell function is crucial for the prevention of inflammatory and allergic reactions as well as leukaemia progression. Caffeine, a naturally occurring food component, is known to display anti-inflammatory effects which have ...

Multi‐Omics Reveal the Metabolic Changes in Cumulus Cells During Aging

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Fatty acid β‐oxidation was elevated in cumulus cells from older mice. Tryptophan metabolism in aged cumulus cells was active. Supplementing with 5‐HT could mitigate aging damage in oocytes. ABSTRACT Maternal age has been reported to impair oocyte quality.

The proinflammatory activity of recombinant serum amyloid A is not shared by the endogenous protein in the circulation.

open access: yes, 2010
OBJECTIVE: Elevated serum levels of the acute-phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA) are a marker for active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and SAA can also be found in the tissues of patients with active RA.

Targeted protein degradation of PDE4 shortforms by a novel proteolysis targeting chimera

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Here, we report KTX207, a previously undescribed cereblon‐based PDE4 PROTAC that can specifically target PDE4D shortform for degradation. We showed that KTX207 could improve selectivity, potency and enable a long‐lasting effect when used at a sub‐nanomolar concentration.
