Peripheral targets for neuropathic pain

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Neuropathic pain represents a significant clinical challenge, with still limited pharmacological approaches to symptomatic relief. This review focuses on molecular targets implicated in neuropathic pain, particularly those involved in peripheral mechanisms. Using the IUPHAR/BPS database of biological targets, their occurrence together with ‘neuropathic

Myofibroblast‐Like CAFs in Metastatic Lymph Nodes Drive Tumor Stemness and Poor Prognosis in Head and Neck Cancer

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Compared with PT‐CAFs, LN‐CAFs exhibited a myofibroblast‐like phenotype, enhanced tumor stemness‐promoting activity, and fibrosis‐, EMT‐, and hypoxia‐related transcriptomic signatures. LN‐CAF‐related gene signatures were independently associated with poor prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Interactions between purinergic receptors and Kir channels in neurovascular coupling

The FASEB Journal, 2010
We previously noted a large overlap in the contributions from adenosine (ADO) and K + ‐ channels in the process of neurovascular coupling (NVC), implying the presence of interactive mechanisms.

Evolution of Killer Cell Ig-Like Receptor (KIR) Genes: Definition of an Orangutan KIR Haplotype Reveals Expansion of Lineage III KIR Associated with the Emergence of MHC-C [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2007
Abstract Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) MHC-C appears less evolved than human HLA-C: Popy-C is not fixed and its alleles encode only one (C1) of the two motifs for killer cell Ig-like receptor (KIR) ligands. To assess the structure and complexity of the orangutan KIR locus, the complete nucleotide sequence of an orangutan KIR haplotype was ...

Low CD4+ T cell counts among African HIV-1 infected subjects with group B KIR haplotypes in the absence of specific inhibitory KIR ligands. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Natural killer (NK) cells are regulated by interactions between polymorphic killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and human leukocyte antigens (HLA).

K(ATP) channel gene expression is induced by urocortin and mediates its cardioprotective effect [PDF]

, 2002
Background— Urocortin is a novel cardioprotective agent that can protect cardiac myocytes from the damaging effects of ischemia/reperfusion both in culture and in the intact heart and is effective when given at reperfusion.

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes and their HLA ligands in a Brazilian population

Innate Immunity, 2023
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) exhibit extensive diversity, giving rise to different KIR profiles in populations worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the distribution of KIR genes and HLA ligands in a population from Campinas ...

Adipocyte‐specific NIK depletion enhances energy metabolism and glucose tolerance in mice

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Obesity is associated with reduced energy expenditure and increased hepatic lipid accumulation. This study reveals that loss of NIK in adipocytes stimulates FGF21‐driven expression of thermogenic genes, including UCP1, and mitochondrial uncoupled respiration.
