Mathematical Modeling of Neuroinflammation in Neurodegenerative Diseases

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Age‐related neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are an increasing public health concern. Whereas the pathology of these diseases is complex, chronic central inflammation, or neuroinflammation, is commonly observed across many neurodegenerative diseases ...

The Mechanism of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Its Roles in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) is one of the crucial receptors in pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) families which can recognize the pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and the damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), thus triggering innate immune response. After NLRP3 activation, it recruits the adaptor protein

Extracellular ATP triggers proteolysis and cytosolic Ca²⁺ rise in Plasmodium berghei and Plasmodium yoelii malaria parasites

Malaria Journal, 2012
Background Plasmodium has a complex cell biology and it is essential to dissect the cell-signalling pathways underlying its survival within the host. Methods Using the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) peptide substrate Abz-AIKFFARQ-EDDnp and

Potential Therapeutic Role of Purinergic Receptors in Cardiovascular Disease Mediated by SARS-CoV-2

Journal of Immunology Research, 2020
Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes pulmonary and cardiovascular disorders and has become a worldwide emergency. Myocardial injury can be caused by direct or indirect damage, particularly mediated by a cytokine storm, a disordered immune ...

Optochemical modulation of corneal cold nerve terminal impulse activity with a photochromic ion channel blocker

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The functional organization of corneal cold nerve endings, critical structures in maintaining the ocular surface, remains poorly understood. Here, the photoisomerizable small‐molecule diethylamine‐azobenzene‐quaternary ammonium (DENAQ) was used to photomodulate activity of cold‐sensing nerve terminals in control and chronic tear ...

Identification of prokineticin‐2 as potential pharmacodynamic biomarker for overcoming doxorubicin resistance in multicellular breast cancer spheroids

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and purpose Despite advances in immunotherapy, doxorubicin (Dox) chemotherapy is still the irreplaceable first‐line therapy for solid tumours such as breast cancer. However, chemotherapy resistance is the major limiting factor, requiring the use of high doses of Dox to achieve the anti‐tumour actions, often leading to severe side effects ...

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

Purinergic signalling: past, present and future

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2009
The discovery of non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic neurotransmission in the gut and bladder in the early 1960's is described as well as the identification of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as a transmitter in these nerves in the early 1970's.

Piezo2 in Mechanosensory Biology: From Physiological Homeostasis to Disease‐Promoting Mechanisms

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Piezo2 channels are essential mechanotransducers regulating touch, proprioception and visceral mechanosensation across physiological systems, emerging as therapeutic targets for pathological mechanical hypersensitivity and neurogenic disorders. ABSTRACT Piezo2, a mechanically activated ion channel, serves as the key molecular transducer for touch ...
