Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNaloxone benzoylhydrazone activates Extracellular Signal-Regulated Protein Kinases and modulates Nociceptin Opioid Peptide Receptor activityDeepak R. Thakker, Ghazi F. Altememi, Chitra D. Mandyam et al.Naloxone benzoylhydrazone (NalBzoH) is often used as a nociceptin opioid peptide (NOP) receptor antagonist. However, NalBzoH is also a mixed μ antagonist/κ and δ opioid agonist and its actions at the NOP receptor range from an antagonist to partial agonist, depending on the effector response/system studied. We now report that NalBzoH activates endogenously expressed κ3 opioid, but not NOP, receptors … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLumbricus rubellus Protein Fraction DLBS1033N Increases Nerve Growth Factor Expression via Tyrosine Kinase ActivationAgung Heru Karsono, Raymond Rubianto Tjandrawinata, Maggy Thenawidjaja SuhartonoNerve injury occurred due to mechanical, thermal, chemical, or ischemic factors. Nerve regeneration is needed for recovery. Schwann cell proliferation and differentiation are important factors in the nerve regeneration process. Schwann cells release neurotrophins in the nerve regeneration process. In this study, Lumbricus rubellus protein fraction DLBS1033N was used as therapeutic protein candidate for nerve regeneration treatments. DLBS1033N treatments promoted … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2018 · 9,407 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFocal Adhesion Kinase: An Old Protein with New RolesAtul Kumar Pandey, Sonal Somvanshi, Vivek Pratap SinghFocal adhesion kinase, FAK is a tyrosine kinase which is prominently localized to focal adhesions and therefore its name, is an indispensable protein in integrin signaling. Since the discovery of FAK, this tyrosine kinase had been shown to regulate a variety of cell behavior like cell migration, proliferation, apoptosis and metastasis which makes this molecule at a centre stage of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2012 · 8,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImplementing Mitogen Activated Protein Kinases Cascade on Membrane Computing Using P-LinguaBareq Shaalan, Ravie Chandren MuniyandiThe Mitogen Activated Protein Kinases (MAPK) cascade has been used as a case study for different computational software tools in both modelling and simulation of real-life problems. This study focuses on the development of new techniques for solving a MAPK cascade by using membrane computing. Membrane computing is an unconventional computational approach that provides a platform for modelling discrete system. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 15 Sep 2014 · 6,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAmphetamine Stimulates Protein Kinase and Calcium Influx to Increase Corticosterone and Aldosterone Secretion from Male Rat Adrenal CellsLing-Ling Chang, Wan-Song Alfred Wun, Cai-Yun Jian, Paulus S. WangAmphetamine is a potent central nervous system stimulant. Clinical trials have demonstrated that in healthy adults, low (therapeutic) doses of amphetamine can improve i.e., cognition, memory, attention behavior. An amphetamine overdose can affect cardiovascular, central nervous system, musculoskeletal, respiratory, urinary, or sexual function. Furthermore, amphetamine can activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to increase glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids released from adrenal. The object … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2021 · 7,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProbiotics the Good Neighbor: Guarding the Gut Mucosal BarrierR. K. Rao, D. B. Polk, A. Seth, F. YanProblem statement: The disruption of gut barrier function plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of not only gastrointestinal diseases, but also the diseases of liver and other organs. Mucosal protective factors that preserve the gut barrier integrity are beneficial in the prevention and treatment of such diseases. Probiotics is a group of helpful bacteria that protect the gastrointestinal mucosa … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTowards Identifying Immunogenic Targets in Visceral Leishmaniasis: Role of 17kDa and 63kDa PhosphoproteinsShubhankar K Singh, Sanjiva Bimal, Diwakar S. Dinesh et al.We observed predominant phosphorylation at Protein Kinase C (PKC-α) residue in seven immunoreactive proteins of virulent Leishmania donovani parasites. These phosphoproteins were tested for their ability to stimulate T-cells for secretion of Macrophage Migration Inhibition Factor (MIF) in comparision to crude soluble antigen in Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) patients. Two of these phosphorylated L. donovani antigens led Leishmania to present these … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,756 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEarly Cellular Responses of Purine Nucleoside-mediated Protection of Hypoxia-induced Injuries of Neuronal PC12 CellsBettina Tomaselli, Valerie Podhraski, Günther Böck, Gabriele Baier-BitterlichHypoxia in brain may lead to cell death by apoptosis and necrosis. In parallel adenosine, a powerful endogenous neuroprotectant is formed. We wanted to investigate the effect of adenosine and its purine nucleoside relatives, inosine and guanosine on early cellular responses to hypoxia. O2-sensitive neuronal PC12-cells were subjected to chemical hypoxia induced with rotenone, an inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,853 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIn Silico, In Vitro and In Vivo Assessment of Safety and Anti-inflammatory Activity of CurcuminM. Venkata, R. Sripathy, D. Anjana et al.Problem statement: Curcumin the active component of turmeric is known for its wide biological actions. Extensive studies on curcumin highlighted its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic and anti-coagulant activity. The anti-inflammatory activities of curcumin have been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. Though curcumin and its anti-inflammatory properties are well documented, the exact mechanism of action and effective in vivo … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2012 · 8,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDihydroartemisinin Attenuates HBV-Induced Proliferation and Migration in LO2 cells via EMT Pathway ModulationYingde Nong, Caifang Ma, Wei Huang et al.Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a derivative of artemisinin, possesses well-documented anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated the inhibitory effects of DHA on hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced cellular alterations in LO2 cells and elucidated underlying molecular mechanisms.
