Emergence of antibiotic resistant strains of Mtb
2021-07-29
Emergence of antibiotic resistant strains of Mtb alongwith the inefficacy of widely used Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine in adults are major challenges in the treatment and prevention of TB. Elucidation and characterization of new vaccine and drug candidates are therefore required in order to

Herbal products may alter the metabolism of certain drugs and, likewise, the metabolism of components of herbal products may be altered by some drugs, specifically those that affect cytochrome P450 Metformin mg (CYP). These can bring about an alteration of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacological a

Polymorphism of the CD226 gene also affected the progression rate without any significant effect on autoantibody formation. This gene has been reported to be a common genetic factor in multiple autoimmune diseases such as SLE, systemic sclerosis and type 1 diabetes [43]. CD226 is an immunoglobulin s

The interface between the E ligase and the E enzyme
2021-07-29
The interface between the E3 ligase and the E2 enzyme can vary, and ZNF451 and SP-RING ligases stabilize this interaction via noncovalent binding to a scaffold SUMO (SUMOB) on the backside of the E2 (Cappadocia et al., 2015; Eisenhardt et al., 2015; Streich & Lima, 2016). By contrast, RanBP2 does no

The intracellular redox situation of MC T E cells
2021-07-29
The intracellular redox situation of MC3T3-E1 gap 27 after exposure with fluoride has been investigated and results revealed that the generation of ROS increased at a concentration-dependent manner, which indicated that NaF induced oxidative stress damage in MC3T3-E1 cells. Fluoride-mediated induce

Materials and methods Results Discussion DNA-PKcs and the Ku heterodimer (Ku70 and Ku80) constitute the DNA-PK complex, which is a serine/threonine kinase. DNA-PK phosphorylates H2AX and other substrates, such as main NHEJ factors (Artemis, XRCC4, and DNA ligase IV) [4]. Therefore, DNA-PK d

Introduction A variety of means, including UV irradiation, dNTP depletion, and oncogene activation at precancerous lesions, induce replication stress, which causes replication errors if left undealt with (Hills and Diffley, 2014, Zeman and Cimprich, 2014). Eukaryotic cells have developed the DNA

2021-07-29
N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists, such as MK-801 and phencyclidine, induce cognitive dysfunction in both mice and humans [18]. In addition, antipsychotic drugs ameliorate MK-801-induced cognitive dysfunction; therefore, the acute application of MK-801 can be used as an animal model o

2021-07-29
Besides the enhanced expression of costimulatory and adhesion proteins, also the expression of the CD83 surface molecule is strongly enhanced during DC maturation (Banchereau and Steinman 1998; Banchereau et al. 2000). In fact, CD83 is a major cell surface marker for fully mature DC, as it can not b

The molecular mechanism by which CRM1 regulates IEC apoptosis in CD remains to be explored. As an inhibitor of cyclin E-Cdk2, p27kip1 plays a pivotal role in controlling cell proliferation, S phase entry, and G1 phase exit during development and tumorigenesis [38]. As previously reported, p27kip1 is

Third, we also found negative correlations between TREM2 mRNA expression and the methylation rate of 4 CpG sites in the intron 1 of TREM2. Gene methylation rates are generally associated with gene expression. Thus, heavily methylated areas of genes are usually less active at the transcriptional leve

Autophagy is a dynamic process
2021-07-29
Autophagy is a dynamic process that primarily involves autophagosome formatting and lysosomal degradation, and these processes are controlled by autophagy-related genes (Atg) (Klionsky et al., 2012). The related protein SQSTM1/p62 (sequestosome 1) importantly serves as a signalling director in sever

Emi2 protein consists of an N-terminal regulatory region and a C-terminal functional region. The C-terminal region contains a destruction box (D-box), which likely competes with APC/C substrates (including cyclin B) for APC/C binding, and a zinc-binding region (ZBR), which somehow inhibits APC/C ubi
