The role of endothelin-1 in pulmonary arterial hypertension. [PDF]

, 2014
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare but debilitating disease, which if left untreated rapidly progresses to right ventricular failure and eventually death. In the quest to understand the pathogenesis of this disease differences in the profile,

Integration of circadian and hypoxia signaling via non‐canonical heterodimerization

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CLOCK, BMAL1, and HIFs are basic helix‐loop‐helix and Per‐Arnt‐Sim domain (bHLH‐PAS) proteins, which function as transcription factors. bHLH‐PAS proteins are designated in two classes. Many class I proteins are regulated by environmental signals via their PAS domains, but such signals have not been identified for all.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Synergistic Effects of Adenosine A2A Antagonist and L-DOPA on Rotational Behaviors in 6-Hydroxydopamine-Induced Hemi-Parkinsonian Mouse Model

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
In this study, we examined the combination effects of L-DOPA and adenosine receptor antagonists on rotational behaviors in a hemi-Parkinsonian mouse model induced by unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) injection. The adenosine A2A antagonist SCH-58261,

IL-1Ra Protects Hepatocytes from CCl4-Induced Hepatocellular Apoptosis via Activating the ERK1/2 Pathway

Pharmaceutical Fronts, 2020
Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist is an important acute-phase protein and an immune mediator, and its expression is associated with the development of hepatitis or acute liver failure.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Potentiation of nerve growth factor-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells by ifenprodil: the role of sigma-1 and IP3 receptors.

PLoS ONE, 2012
In addition to both the α1 adrenergic receptor and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists, ifenprodil binds to the sigma receptor subtypes 1 and 2.

Galanin receptor 2 modifies neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor internalization and β-Arrestin recruitment [PDF]

, 2015
We have recently described a Galanin receptor 2(GALR2) and Neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor(NPYY1R) interaction at behavioural, cellular and receptor levels through GALR2/NPYY1R heterodimers.

Involvement of Noradrenergic Neurotransmission in the Stress- but not Cocaine-Induced Reinstatement of Extinguished Cocaine-Induced Conditioned Place Preference in Mice: Role for β-2 Adrenergic Receptors [PDF]

, 2010
The responsiveness of central noradrenergic systems to stressors and cocaine poses norepinephrine as a potential common mechanism through which drug re-exposure and stressful stimuli promote relapse.
