Expression of serotonin 2A, 2C, 6 and 7 receptor and IL-6 mRNA in experimental toxoplasmic encephalitis in mice

Heliyon, 2019
The neurotropic pathogen Toxoplasma gondii infects about one-third of the human population. Both acute and chronic (latent or life-long) forms of toxoplasmosis are associated with specific neurologic and neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Novel Biological Therapies for Severe Asthma Endotypes

Biomedicines, 2022
Severe asthma comprises several heterogeneous phenotypes, underpinned by complex pathomechanisms known as endotypes. The latter are driven by intercellular networks mediated by molecular components which can be targeted by specific monoclonal antibodies.

Neurochemical Changes in the Mouse Hippocampus Underlying the Antidepressant Effect of Genetic Deletion of P2X7 Receptors. [PDF]

, 2013
Recent investigations have revealed that the genetic deletion of P2X7 receptors (P2rx7) results in an antidepressant phenotype in mice. However, the link between the deficiency of P2rx7 and changes in behavior has not yet been explored.

Puerarin Acts Through Brain Serotonergic Mechanisms to Induce Thermal Effects

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
The present study was attempted to investigate the effect of puerarin, an isoflavone compound isolated from Pueraria lobata, on both the basal body temperature and pyrogenic fever in unanesthetized, restrained rats.

Molecular cloning and expression of the murine interleukin‐5 receptor. [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 1990
Murine interleukin-5 (IL-5) is known to play an essential role in Ig production of B cells and proliferation and differentiation of eosinophils. Here, we have isolated cDNA clones encoding a murine IL-5 receptor by expression screening of a library prepared from a murine IL-5 dependent early B cell line.

Molecular and pharmacological characterization of serotonin 5-HT2α and 5-HT7 receptors in the salivary glands of the blowfly calliphora vicina [PDF]

, 2012
Secretion in blowfly (Calliphora vicina) salivary glands is stimulated by the biogenic amine serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), which activates both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)/Ca2+ and cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cAMP) signalling ...

Receptor Epitope Usage by an Interleukin-5 Mimetic Peptide [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
The cyclic peptide AF17121 is a library-derived antagonist for human interleukin-5 (IL5) receptor alpha (IL5Ralpha) and inhibits IL5 activity. Our previous results have demonstrated that the sixth arginine residue of the peptide is crucial for the inhibitory effect and that several acidic residues in the N- and C-terminal regions also make a ...

Characterization of signalling cross-talk between the EP2 and FP receptors in endometrial epithelial cells [PDF]

, 2009
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that arise from the smooth-muscle uterine cells (myometrium) and are the most common uterine disorder occurring in as many as 30% of women over 35 years of age. Despite their frequent occurrence, the etiology of uterine

Characterization of high-affinity receptors for interleukin 5 on interleukin 5-dependent cell lines. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1989
Interleukin 5 (IL-5) is a glycosylated polypeptide that acts as a key factor for B-cell growth and differentiation. We demonstrated previously that there are two classes (high and low affinity) of IL-5 receptors on murine chronic B-cell leukemic cells (BCL1-B20).

A potent dimeric peptide antagonist of interleukin-5 that binds two interleukin-5 receptor α chains [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000
Two series of peptides that specifically bind to the extracellular domain of the α chain of the human interleukin-5 receptor (IL-5Rα), but share no primary sequence homology to IL-5, were identified from libraries of random recombinant peptides. Affinity maturation procedures generated a 19-aa peptide that binds to the IL-5 receptor α/β heterodimer ...
