  Conclusions and future perspectives It is now evident that selective ETA or nonselective endothelin receptor antagonism provides therapeutic potentials against a variety of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, PAH, and diabetic microvascular dysfunction (Fig. 1). However, PAH is currentl

  During the past decades HT had been widely prescribed with the expectation of both osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease prevention. The results of the Women\'s Health Initiative (WHI) trial, however, indicated that long-term HT use is associated with a small but significant increase of cardiovasc

  While showing that deletion of EP1 maintains femur bone volume fraction and trabecular bone parameters during aging, perhaps more importantly we have also demonstrated that increased initial BV/TV in EP1 is protective against OVX-induced bone loss. That is, while mice lose an approximately equal per

  Another enzyme class that has emerged as a potential alternative to P450s are the so-called ‘unspecific peroxygenases’ (UPOs). They also contain a heme but are extracellularly expressed fungal enzymes that are often more stable than P450 monooxygenases. Importantly, UPOs use H2O2 instead of O2 as th

  For these reasons, molecules of the ET family and in particular ET-1 are considered useful factors in the evaluation of malignancy and in consequence, in the prognosis for several forms of neoplasia, such as ovarian (Bagnato et al., 2005), prostate (Nelson et al, 1995, Nelson et al, 1996), colorecta

  2020-09-16

  

  The UPR is composed of three different pathways that fall under the control of three respective ER transmembrane proteins: PERK, IRE1α (inositol-requiring enzyme 1α) and ATF6 (activating transcription factor 6). As a starting signal for the UPR, misfolded proteins induce the release of GRP78 from th

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Anti-EGFR therapy for epithelial carcinomas has important clinical significance, but widespread intrinsic or acquired resistance seriously affects efficacy. Mutation and heterodimerization of EGFR are the two main causes of resistance to anti-EGFR th

  Cancer patients may develop cachexia, a deleterious wasting syndrome that is associated with muscle atrophy and has an impact on the well-being of patients and on the response to the treatment. Indeed, cachexia is a devastating and often irreversible syndrome observed in up to 80% of cancer patients

  Boulares group [82] has demonstrated that the NF-κB1/p50 NF-κB, a family member of type I NF-κB, is an excellent substrate for DNA-PK, which-dependent phosphorylation of NF-κB1 at serine 20 appears to enhance its binding to DNA as either a homodimer or a heterodimer with p65 NF-κB and the ability of

  Importantly, piPolB holds a great promise for developing novel biotechnological applications. For instance, in vitro activities of piPolB, namely, strand displacement and faithful, processive DNA polymerization, can be harnessed for efficient primer-independent whole-genome amplification, whereas th

  As DNA methylation plays a critical role in organismic development and human diseases, the interest in DNA methyltransferases is constantly increasing. Extensive studies on the repertoires of dnmts genes have indicated increasing dnmts members in eukaryotes (Goll and Bestor, 2005; Ponger and Li, 200

  DNA damage represents a persistent threat to genomic stability. A critical link exists between DNA mutation, chromosomal rearrangement and cancer development. In myeloid malignancies, various chromosomal translocations and/or mutations increased cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), followed by DS

  DGKβ [9] is distributed exclusively in the brain, particularly in the striatum, cerebral cortex, olfactory bulb, and hippocampus [9,10]. This isozyme accumulates at the perisynaptic sites of medium spiny neurons in the striatum [11]. The Nilvadipine synthesis of DGKβ rapidly increases after 14 days

  A spectrum of therapies came in order to counter this misfortune, some of them are discussed below. However, the common problem faced by most of these drugs is their emerging resistance after a span of time. Some of the important drugs reported so far are as: Quinine-based antimalarial drugs (Fig. 1
