A novel long non-coding natural antisense RNA is a negative regulator of Nos1 gene expression [PDF]
Long non-coding natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are widespread in eukaryotic species. Although recent studies indicate that long NATs are engaged in the regulation of gene expression, the precise functional roles of the vast majority of them are ...

Emerging concepts about NAIP/NLRC4 inflammasomes
NAIP/NLRC4 inflammasome complexes are activated in response to proteins from virulent bacteria that reach the cell cytosol. Specific NAIP proteins bind to the agonists and then physically associate with NLRC4 to form an inflammasome complex able to ...

Pathophysiological Role of Caveolae in Hypertension [PDF]
Caveolae, flask-shaped cholesterol-, and glycosphingolipid-rich membrane microdomains, contain caveolin 1, 2, 3 and several structural proteins, in particular Cavin 1-4, EHD2, pacsin2, and dynamin 2.

Signaling from blood vessels to CNS axons through nitric oxide [PDF]
Brain function is usually perceived as being performed by neurons with the support of glial cells, the network of blood vessels situated nearby serving simply to provide nutrient and to dispose of metabolic waste.

Transcriptional adaptation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis within macrophages: Insights into the phagosomal environment [PDF]
Little is known about the biochemical environment in phagosomes harboring an infectious agent. To assess the state of this organelle we captured the transcriptional responses of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in macrophages from wild-type and nitric ...

Characterization of phospho-(tyrosine)-mimetic calmodulin mutants.
Calmodulin (CaM) phosphorylated at different serine/threonine and tyrosine residues is known to exert differential regulatory effects on a variety of CaM-binding enzymes as compared to non-phosphorylated CaM.

Pharmacology and clinical drug candidates in redox medicine [PDF]
SIGNIFICANCE Oxidative stress is suggested to be a disease mechanism common to a wide range of disorders affecting human health. However, so far, the pharmacotherapeutic exploitation of this, for example, based on chemical scavenging of pro-oxidant ...

Characterisation of type I and type II nNOS-expressing interneurons in the barrel cortex of mouse
In the neocortex, neuronal Nitric Oxide-Synthase (nNOS) is essentially expressed in two sets of GABAergic neurons: type I neurons displaying a high expression and type II neurons displaying a weaker expression.

Vasa Nervorum in rat major pelvic ganglion are innervated by nitrergic nerve fibers [PDF]
INTRODUCTION The vasa nervorum comprises a network of small diameter blood vessels that provide blood supply to nerves and ganglia. The cell bodies of autonomic nerves innervating the urogenital organs are housed in the major pelvic ganglia (MPG) in rats.
