Regulation of peripheral inflammation by spinal p38 MAP kinase in rats. [PDF]

, 2006
BackgroundSomatic afferent input to the spinal cord from a peripheral inflammatory site can modulate the peripheral response. However, the intracellular signaling mechanisms in the spinal cord that regulate this linkage have not been defined.

Rational Design of Inner Ear Drug Delivery Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hearing loss is a common disease affecting many people, and inner ear lesions are one of the most important causes. This review focuses on the treatment of inner ear hearing loss by drug delivery systems. It includes the current methods and technologies developed, and it predicts possible directions.

Empowering AlphaFold2 for protein conformation selective drug discovery with AlphaFold2-RAVE [PDF]

Small molecule drug design hinges on obtaining co-crystallized ligand-protein structures. Despite AlphaFold2's strides in protein native structure prediction, its focus on apo structures overlooks ligands and associated holo structures. Moreover, designing selective drugs often benefits from the targeting of diverse metastable conformations. Therefore,

Accuracy of position determination in Ca$^{2+}$ signaling [PDF]

, 2019
A living cell senses its environment and responds to external signals. In this work, we study theoretically, the precision at which cells can determine the position of a spatially localized transient extracellular signal. To this end, we focus on the case, where the stimulus is converted into the release of a small molecule that acts as a second ...

Modulation of autocrine TNF-α-stimulated matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) expression by mitogenactivated protein kinases in THP-1 monocytic cells [PDF]

, 2006
Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is implicated in various physiological processes by its ability to degrade the extracellular matrix (ECM) and process multiple regulatory proteins. Normally, MMP-9 expression is tightly controlled in cells. Sustained or

p38α (MAPK14) critically regulates the immunological response and the production of specific cytokines and chemokines in astrocytes. [PDF]

, 2014
In CNS lesions, "reactive astrocytes" form a prominent cellular response. However, the nature of this astrocyte immune activity is not well understood.

Mas Signaling Potentiates Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Formation Induced by Endothelial Cells Derived S1P in Mice with Acute Liver Failure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In mice challenged with lipopolysaccharide/D‐galactosamine (L/G), Mas signaling increased SHP2 in hepatic Col4a1+ endothelial cells, inhibiting farnesoid X receptor (FXR), potentially due to enterogenic deoxycholic acid. This inhibition activates sphingosine‐1‐phosphate‐induced Raf/MEK/ERK signaling in Cldn1+CD177+ neutrophils, causing neutrophil ...

High Fat Low Carbohydrate Diet Is Linked to CNS Autoimmunity Protection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mapping global epidemiological data to macronutrient supply reveals high carbohydrate, in contrast to high fat supply, associates with increased multiple sclerosis (MS) prevalence and incidence. This is confirmed in a mouse MS model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), using isocaloric diets: a high carbohydrate diet aggravates, a high ...

Survival-Promoting Activity of Inhibitors of Cyclin-Dependent Kinases on Primary Neurons Correlates with Inhibition of c-Jun Kinase-1

Neurobiology of Disease, 1997
Cyclin-dependent kinases and mitogen-activated protein kinases have been implicated in the regulation of cellular survival and apoptosis. We tested the effect of two mitogen-activated/cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, olomoucine and butyrolactone I, on
