  2022-03-09

  

  The glycine receptor is an ionotropic neurotransmitter receptor coupled to a chloride ion channel. Glycine receptors are typically described as inhibitory and distributed in the spinal cord and brainstem, though mRNA transcription labelling studies in rats show expression in the hippocampus, cingula

  The dopamine substrate currents (IDA – IControl) were determined at different holding potentials (IV curves) in transfected HT22 cells (Fig. 5A). The plot for HT22 cells transfected with DAT exhibited the typical behavior of dopamine transporter currents (Ingram et al., 2002; Sonders et al., 1997),

  2022-03-09

  

  Introduction The glucagon receptor (GCGR) is a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed mainly in the liver and kidney. Upon glucagon binding, it activates the stimulatory G protein (Gs) and increases cAMP level, subsequently transducing glucagon signaling involved in glucose, amino acids and lipid m

  2022-03-09

  

  In order to test whether the enhanced hyperpolarization in the presence of increasing amounts of extracellular Ca2+ could be due to an ionophore effect of NS309, red cell uptake of 45Ca and partition of 45Ca into a water/n-octanol phase +/−100 μM NS309 were determined. However, no indication of iono

  The present study demonstrates that SNAP 37889 exhibits a toxic effect to these specific cell types, which is independent of endogenous expression of GAL receptor subtypes and leads to apoptosis. This conclusion is based on our findings that, although HMCB, HL-60 and SH-SY5Y cell lines differ in GAL

  Inflammasomes are multimeric protein complexes involved in the host defense protecting activity against invading pathogens and in physiological aberrations such as cancer and auto-inflammatory, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases. Inflammasomes induce the inflammatory process by triggering the

  Previous research has suggested that differences in spatiotemporal regulation of intracellular signaling pathways can confer specificity to cellular responses (Marshall, 1995). Conventional approaches based on gain- or loss-of-function genetic manipulations or small-molecule inhibitors, however, lac

  One may ask whether induced loss, through chemical or genetic perturbation for example, of an essential cellular factor represents regulated cell death or simple loss of the homeostasis needed for life. For example, deletion of the Mdm2 gene, or inhibition of the MDM2 protein, results in cell death

  Aberrant expression of HKII may be a required feature for cancer development and progression. Overexpression of HKII has been reported in tumor tissues of cancer patients with liver [9], ovary [8], [24] and larynx [25]. The clinical significance of HKII in cancer was noted as overexpression of HKII

  Waldeck-Weiermair et al. (2008) demonstrated that in endothelial cells, the activation of GPR55 by application of 10µM anandamide resulted in a marked increase of ERK1/2 phosphorylation that was evident 2min following drug activation and was sustained for up to 3h. Another example comes from our unp

  (R,R′)-MNF is a unique bitopic agent with selective and potent β2AR agonistic and GPR55 inhibitory properties [10], [11] that are independently associated with the drug's anti-mitotic and anti-tumorigenic actions. In 1321N1, U118MG, and melanoma cell lines, (R,R′)-MNF activation of the β2AR decrease
