  Gamboge is a dry resin obtained from Garcinia hanburyi HOOK. f. (Guttiferae). It has a variety of bioactivities, including detoxifying, homeostasis maintaining, anti-inflammatory and parasiticidic effects. Available evidence suggests that gamboge bears anticancer characteristics with gambogenic Casp

  Another interesting finding from the present study is that silencing of ERRγ suppressed the expression of HSD17B1 in extravillous trophoblasts. HSD17B1 is a key enzyme in regulating estrogen activity and has been shown to promote the proliferation and migration of estrogen-dependent breast cancer ni

  2020-03-07

  

  HCV has evolved mechanisms to evade humoral immune responses including high functional flexibility and variability of immunogenic portions of its envelope proteins. The highest sequence variability occurs in the first 27 Ro 32-3555 of the N-terminus of E2, which is referred to as the hypervariable

  In Ademetionine to G468 and G469, which are buried (Fig. 7a), residues 470–476 are equivalent to the surface loop L12 present in the crystal structure of the LigI complex (Fig. 7b) [17]. The OBD of DNA ligases adopts at least two distinct orientations during the catalytic cycle. In the adenylation

  Expression of MGMT in human hyPerFUsion™ high-fidelity DNA polymerase can be switched off by enzymatic methylation of a cytosine residue in the MGMT promoter sequence. In this regard, both MGMT and the mismatch repair function MLH1 belong to a subset of DNA repair genes that are subjected to epigen

  Concluding remarks A crucial step in the microbial degradation of steroids is the 1(2)-dehydrogenation of the steroid nucleus by FAD-dependent Δ1-KSTDs. This step is required to initiate the opening of the steroid nucleus under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. A large variety of steroid-deg

  Although the crystal structures of Atg4C and Atg4D are not available, their three dimensional structures can be acquired by homology modeling, using the structure of Atg4B as a template (Zhang, Li, Ouyang, Liu, & Cheng, 2016). In that model, the catalytic triad is conserved (Cys110/Asp345/His347 for

  2020-03-06

  

  QSAR based on the 3D structures of ligands plays an important role in the ligand-based drug discovery and design [12]. Comparative molecular field analysis, CoMFA [11], and comparative molecular similarity index analysis, CoMSIA [12] are among the most popular QSAR models. They focus on changes in 3

  At the cellular level, TGF-β1 has been involved in the formation of invadosomes (Mandal et al., 2008, Varon et al., 2006). Invadosomes are actin-based structures involved in matrix degradation and cell invasion through metalloproteinases (MMP) activity (Linder et al., 2011). Invadosomes, constitutiv

  On the other hand, p38 responds to environmental stress, including ultraviolet light, heat, osmotic shock, and inflammatory cytokines (Pearson et al., 2001, Kumar et al., 2003), and is activated in astrocytes after ischemia-like injury (Yung and Tolkovsky, 2003, Niu et al., 2009).

  Apart from neutrophil-mediated inflammation, the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines from PGD2/CRTH2 activated macrophages could further aggravate LPS-induced lung injury (Eguchi et al., 2011; Jandl et al., 2016). Interestingly, genetic ablation of CRTH2 diminishes the TNF-α prod

  ET-1 expression occurs in many carcinomas, including those arising in the kidney [38], prostate [7], ovary [5] endometrium [39], melanocyte [40], and central nervous system [41], [42], among others [43]. The endothelin axis expression in RCC appears to be dependent upon the tumor subtype [38]. In se
