2021-10-23
Moreover, intestinal chronic inflammation is a promoting factor in the development of CRC in patients affected by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. We have previously shown that pharmacological FXR activation via its ligand obeticolic Sodium ascorbate

2021-10-23
In this study, we have investigated the expression of FXR and TGR5 in CCA tissues in two independent cohorts of patients and determined their association with tumor clinicopathological parameters. The expression of both BA receptors was also evaluated in CCA human cells and normal human cholangiocyt

The finding of histamine action on ASICs also raises the question about possible action of other histamine receptor ligands. In the present work we selected several compounds and performed electrophysiological testing of their action on recombinant homomeric ASIC1a and ASIC2a. Nα-methylhistamine is

2021-10-23
Ikaros utilizes Z-VEID-FMK remodeling to activate or repress the transcription of its target genes (Su et al., 2004). Ikaros directly associates with histone deacetylases HDAC1 and HDAC2 and can recruit them to the upstream regulatory elements of its target genes (Kim et al., 1999, Koipally et al.,

Recognition and Repair of DNA Damage
2021-10-23
Recognition and Repair of DNA Damage DNA is a reactive molecule that is continually challenged by both endogenous and exogenous insults 1., 2.. Cellular metabolites and their byproducts, environmental toxins, and radiation alter the chemical structure of DNA, producing a wide spectrum of DNA damage

Our overall goal is to develop selective compounds for low-affinity/high-capacity transporters inhibitors (i.e. OCT1–3 and PMAT), and provide the field with much needed, specific pharmacological tools to study these transporters. In our initial efforts, we synthesized halogen substituted analogs and

2021-10-23
Cx43 is a phosphoprotein that is predominantly phosphorylated in the control state. Cx43 can be phosphorylated by a number of kinases and dephosphorylated by protein phosphatases such as PP1 and PP2A [6], [10]. Posttranslational phosphorylation of Cx43 is thought to influence intercellular coupling

Since our new compound Fex-3 could be a new FXR ligand, we try to demonstrate that Fex-3 was an intestinal-restricted FXR agonist which only activated FXR in the intestine not in the liver or other organs. Initially, we investigated this in Caco-2 PD173074 sale with transwell experiments. From and

On the other hand, Li+ (Zhang et al., 1996) and Ca2+ (Gizak et al., 2004) cations inhibit FBPases. However, in the case of Ca2+, the inhibition is attributed solely to the muscle isozyme which is over 100 times more susceptible to the cation action than the liver isoform (Gizak et al., 2004). At the
