In the present study, cells were exposed to a low level of arsenite and a low cytotoxic concentration of BaP. Thus, γ-H2AX loss correlated with repair of DNA damage in cells co-exposed to arsenite and BaP. These results show that arsenite inhibits repair of BaP-induced DNA damage. In a previous stud

The cyclin dependent kinase deactivation
2020-10-21
The cyclin-dependent kinase deactivation is carried out by a particular group of proteins cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs). These group of proteins blocks kinase activity by interfering with the interaction of cyclin-CDK complex [43]. The inhibition of CDK naturally occurs during a G1 phas

Except for S-adenosylmethionine (SAM, Fig. 1), sources of endogenous DNA alkylation are not well defined. Other possible sources include nitroso compounds related to the well known mutagen methylnitrosourea which are generated in vitro by nitrosation of cellular amines including amino acids, protei

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a clinical transitional stage between normal aging and Alzheimer disease (AD) [1]. Approximate 15–30% MCI patients convert to AD annually. Although many efforts have been taken to prevent the conversion from MCI to AD [2], [3], there are few biomarkers to predict t

In the present study, the A/P ratio in the MCF-7 cell line was significantly increased by the combination of 1 nM E2 and progestogens, except P4, as well as by10 nM E2 combined with NET. The similar findings were also noted by several reports [16], [17], [18], [19], [20] in which progestogens combin

Effects of estrogen on vascular function Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the vascular wall (Figure 1) that can be converted to an acute clinical event by the induction of plaque rupture or erosion, leading to thrombosis [58]. This perpetuating process is characterized by ph

As a support, chitosan presents interesting characteristics that reinforce its great potential for enzyme immobilization [18,19]. Firstly, it is produced from renewable natural sources in addition to being biodegradable and water insoluble [20,21]. Also, the main peculiarity in the chitosan structur

The importance of EBI for B cell function
2020-10-20
The importance of EBI2 for B cell function was first suggested by the dramatic upregulation of this receptor in EBV-transformed B cells and further inferred from its regulation in activated and GC B cells (Birkenbach et al., 1993, Glynne et al., 2000, Shaffer et al., 2000). An involvement of EBI2 in

The relatively less well-studied encodes the E2 type SUMO-conjugating enzyme. In plants, the SCE family members play roles in abiotic stress responses. An E2 enzyme, SaSce9, from plays roles in salinity and drought stress responses (). Furthermore, SCE can respond to heat stress in rice (). However,

We also observed reduced insulinotropic effects after intravenous administration of both GLP-1 and GIP with atropine, whereas no inhibition was observed by atropine of the direct effects of GLP-1 and GIP action on beta-cells in the islet experiments. This suggests that the reduction in circulating i

Ung et al. examined a variety of structural features based upon the location of the DFG-motif and the αC-helix to define the conformational space of the catalytic domain of protein kinases [75]. They reported that the DFG motif can move from its active DFG-Din location to the inactive DFG-Dout locat
