  Introduction The West syndrome or epilepsy with epileptic spasms (ES) is an epileptic encephalopathy in early infancy with probable seizure-related developmental regression. According to the United Kingdom Infantile Spams Study (UKISS), common causes of infantile spasms include hypoxic-ischemic enc

  To confirm the in vitro findings, atorvastatin or pravastatin was given to C57BL6/J mice fed with high fat diet. Doses of atorvastatin were set to be 6 mg/kg and 12 mg/kg, which were within clinical therapeutic doses. The results revealed that treatment of atorvastatin but not pravastatin impaired g

  2022-09-03

  

  With the advent of genome sequencing, hexokinase gene sequences are now available from a far greater number of vertebrate species, as well as from diverse non-vertebrate animal species. As indicated above, searches of vertebrate genome sequences revealed the existence of a novel fifth member of the

  2022-09-03

  

  Voltage-dependent anion channel VDAC is a ubiquitous protein showing well conserved structural and functional properties in spite of major variations in its sequence (for review see [50]). Most of what we know about VDAC electrophysiological properties (for reviews, see [51], [52]) was initially

  2022-09-03

  

  Murine models of sickle disease have been valuable tools in the study of human SCD pathogenesis [15], [16], and will continue to be central to development of novel approaches to disease treatment. The SAD mouse model of sickle disease is particularly remarkable for its erythrocyte dehydration phenot

  Therapeutic approaches exploiting Cx43 function Due to their potential role in cancer metastasis, attempts have been made to alter connexin function to inhibit cancer growth. Therapeutic approaches include Cx43 peptide mimetics, Cx43 inhibitors, chemical agents capable of enhancing Cx43 function,

  Introduction Initially postulated to represent the main source of ATP production in eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are recently recognized to perform manifold essential functions beyond energy production, impacting most areas of cell biology and medicine [1]. Mitochondrial metabolism is both the ba

  The results obtained here in int-Gr+/+ and int-Gr−/− mice suggested that Gr is required to maintain basal level of Fgf15 expression in the ileum, whereas DEX treatment is able to reduce Fgf15 mRNA in a Gr-independent manner. In previous in vitro studies we have already shown that GC are able to affe

  2022-09-03

  

  We detected the FFAR2 protein with a molecular mass of about 50 kDa, which is comparable to the main band detected in pigs (Li et al., 2014) but different from the calculated size based on the sequence (Wang et al., 2009). The size difference can be explained, at least in part, by glycosylation site

  Ferroptosis modulators With the recognition that the small molecule erastin targets system xc- and thereby specifically triggers this form of death and that ferrostatin-1 prevents erastin-induced ferroptosis [2], it has become evident that ferroptosis is a druggable pathway with a number of tract

  Indeed, another recent study found that the HR-like cell death triggered in rice epidermal cells by an avirulent or incompatible isolate of the fungal pathogen , which causes blast disease, is a ferroptotic cell death phenomenon (). Similar to the heat shock example given above, elevated levels of i

  By measuring the accumulation of unprenylated Rap1a as a surrogate marker for the inhibition of FPPS [8], [9], [10], [11], we found that upregulation of FPPS expression in Hela cells reduced the accumulation of unprenylated Rap1a in response to 24h' treatment with 0–50μM ZOL. As expected, cells cult

  Not only has the cortical Calcium Colorimetric Assay Kit receptor network been found to influence plasma membrane properties but also to interact with exo- and endocytic vesicles (Gormal et al., 2015, Tomatis et al., 2013). The interplay between actin and membranes is integrally regulated by the ph

  In addition to Rabs, several proteins have been shown to interact with Rabphilin3a, for instance the GluN2A subunit of the NMDA receptor, PSD-95 ([56,57] and references therein), Rabaptin-5, α-actinin [16] and SNAP-25 [21,23,41,61]. Only the latter has been reported to participate in the AR. Explori
