Therapeutic gas‐releasing nanomedicines with controlled release: Advances and perspectives
This review takes a critical look at four key gasotransmitters (CO, NO, H2S and SO2) with their incorporation into prodrugs known as gas‐releasing molecule. Different nanosystems and their mediatory roles for efficient shuttling, targeting and cleavage of therapeutic gases and the responsiveness to typical internal and external stimuli for gas release ...

Analysis of signalling pathways using continuous time Markov chains [PDF]
We describe a quantitative modelling and analysis approach for signal transduction networks. We illustrate the approach with an example, the RKIP inhibited ERK pathway [CSK+03].

Abstract Melanoma has a higher mortality rate than any other skin cancer, and its cases are increasing. The transcription factor YY1 has been proven to be involved in tumour progression; however, the role of YY1 in melanoma is not well understood. This study investigates how YY1 functions in melanoma progression, and it also elucidates the underlying ...

Inhibition of the G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is an emerging treatment approach for heart failure. Therefore, cardio-protective mechanisms induced by GRK2 inhibition are under investigation. We compared two different GRK2 inhibitors, i.e.,

Computational models for inferring biochemical networks [PDF]
Biochemical networks are of great practical importance. The interaction of biological compounds in cells has been enforced to a proper understanding by the numerous bioinformatics projects, which contributed to a vast amount of biological information ...

Raf kinase inhibitory protein reduces bradykinin receptor desensitization
In this study, we investigated unknown biochemical modulators that may contribute to persistent inflammation. We identified that small, physiological concentrations of bradykinin can stimulate protein kinase C (PKC) activity, to increase phosphorylation of Raf Kinase Inhibitory Protein (RKIP) and its association with GPCR Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2 ...

Background Raf-1 kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) has been reported to negatively regulate signal kinases of major survival pathways. RKIP activity is modulated in part by phosphorylation on Serine 153 by protein kinase C, which leads to dissociation of ...

Relationship Between RKIP Protein Expression and Clinical Staging in Thyroid Carcinoma [PDF]
Raf-1 Kinase Inhibitory Protein (RKIP) belongs to a new class modulators of signalling cascades involved in maintaining of biological balance in many living organisms. RKIP targets and inhibits different kinases (Mitogen Activated Protein (MAP) kinase, G- protein coupled receptor (GPCR) kinase and nuclear factor kappa B (NF- B) signaling pathways), and

Objective. The E3 ubiquitin ligase LRSAM1 (LRSAM1) was involved in many cancers, but whether it exerts anti‐ or protumor efficacies on choriocarcinoma cellular structures remains unknown. We wanted to explore the efficacies of aberrant LRSAM1 expression on human choriocarcinoma cellular structures and the underlying mechanisms. Methods.
