Imbalance of p75(NTR)/TrkB protein expression in Huntington's disease: Implication for neuroprotective therapies [PDF]
Neuroprotective therapies based on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) administration have been proposed for Huntington's disease (HD) treatment. However, our group has recently reported reduced levels of TrkB in HD mouse models and HD human brain ...

Spinal sample showing p-JNK and P38 associated with the pain signaling transduction of glial cell in neuropathic pain [PDF]
To investigate the signaling pathways after astrocytes were activated in neuropathic pain.Thirty-six Sprague Dawley (s.d.) rats were randomly divided into two groups (each group with 18 s.d. rats) including chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve model group and sham operation group. Operation was perform ed on the right leg in all rats.

Background Current tools for analgesia are often only partially successful, thus investigations of new targets for pain therapy stimulate great interest. Consequent to peripheral nerve injury, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activity in cells of the dorsal

Transient receptor potential channel 1 deficiency impairs host defense and proinflammatory responses to bacterial infection by regulating protein kinase Cα signaling [PDF]
Transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1) is a nonselective cation channel that is required for Ca2+ homeostasis necessary for cellular functions. However, whether TRPC1 is involved in infectious disease remains unknown.

Intracellular Chloride Concentration Changes Modulate IL-1β Expression and Secretion in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cultured Cells [PDF]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which encodes a cAMP‐regulated chloride channel. Several cellular functions are altered in CF cells. However, it is not clear how the CFTR failure induces those alterations.

Peroxiredoxin 1 alleviates oxygen-glucose deprivation/ reoxygenation injury in N2a cells via suppressing the JNK/caspase-3 pathway [PDF]
Objective(s): Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury inevitably aggravates the initial cerebral tissue damage following a stroke. Peroxiredoxin 1 (Prdx1) is a representative protein of the endogenous antioxidant enzyme family that regulates several ...

Divergent Effects of Metformin on an Inflammatory Model of Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
The oral antidiabetic drug metformin is known to exhibit anti-inflammatory properties through activation of AMP kinase, thus protecting various brain tissues as cortical neurons, for example. However, the effect of metformin on the substantia nigra (SN),

Background The inactivation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is associated with anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects in cerebral ischemia, which can be induced by an imbalance between upstream phosphatases and kinases.
