Elevated calpain protein in AngII infused calpain-1 +/+ and calpain-1 −/− aortas.
Calpain-1 (A) and calpain-2 (B) proteins were detected by Western blotting in tissue extracts from aortas in calpain-1 +/+ x LDL receptor −/− and calpain-1 −/− x −/− LDL receptor −/− mice infused with either saline or AngII for 7 days.

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Ion Channel Dysfunction and Therapeutic Targeting in Salivary Gland Disorders
ABSTRACT Objective Salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia represent major clinical complications of radiation therapy, autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren's disease, and inherited epithelial ion transport defects. This review integrates current knowledge on ion channel dysfunction as a central mechanistic driver of salivary gland pathology and ...

Honokiol activates calpain activity.
Calpain activity was measured with the fluorescent calpain substrate Suc-LLVY-AMC in N87, AGS, MKN45 and SCM-1 cells. (A) Time course responses to honokiol (20 µM) treatment. Data are expressed in terms of fold of control conditions. (B) Honokiol (20 and

Elevated calpain activity in AngII infused calpain-1 +/+ and calpain-1 −/− aortas.
Spectrin breakdown products (A) were detected by Western blotting in tissue extracts from aortas in calpain-1 +/+ x LDL receptor −/− and calpain-1 −/− x −/− LDL receptor −/− mice infused with either saline or AngII for 7 days as a measure of calpain ...

Of mice and men—The emerging oral–gut–brain axis of health and disease
Abstract Objectives Oral health's inextricable links to systemic health are highlighted by the emerging oral–gut–brain axis and other well‐known axes. There is growing evidence of a complex oral–gut–brain axis linking mouth and gut microbiomes with the central nervous system.

Elucidating Isoform Specific Roles of Calpain-1 and Calpain-2 in Breast Cancer [PDF]
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed women’s cancer in Canada. Average patient survival rates are high, but they are significantly reduced for those patients whose cancer reaches stage IV – metastatic disease.
