  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,

  We next determined the selectivity profile of the most potent GPR40 agonists (4k–n) against other free fatty Probucol receptors (FFA3/GPR41, FFA2/GPR43 and FFA4/GPR120). FFA2 and FFA3 agonists have a preference in binding short-chain fatty acids while FFA1 and FFA4 have a higher affinity to medium-

  2021-09-28

  

  One of the main mechanisms enabling recycling of intracellular redox-active iron is lysosomal degradation of ferritin in the process of autophagy, often referred to as ‘ferritinophagy’ [128]. Autophagy was suggested to contribute to ferroptotic cell death by promoting the degradation of iron storage

  2021-09-28

  

  Interestingly, evidence has emerged recently that suggests noncanonical roles of EZH2 in various cancers. For example, in addition to histone H3, EZH2 has been shown to methylate non-histone substrates, such as Jarid2 and STAT3, to regulate their transcriptional activities (He et al., 2012, Sanulli

  2021-09-28

  

  The ML347 promotion is triggered upon the binding of Ca2+ to the C2 domains of two key protein groups, i.e. complexin and certain synaptogamins (Lai et al., 2017; Rizo and Xu, 2015). The first step of the vesicle fusion is the priming of the secretory vesicles, involved at the switching from close

  2021-09-28

  

  TGR5 is a class A GPCR, transducing signal through Gs-protein mediated cAMP accumulation, and was recently reclassified as the founder member of the bile–acid receptor subclass of GPCRs [22]. The cAMP-mediated signaling of TGR5 activation has been implicated in a range of cellular physiological acti

  2021-09-28

  

  One clue to how evolution has solved such spatiotemporal challenges comes from studies revealing that lymph node (LN) organization is more complex than originally presumed, suggesting that steady-state microanatomical features are crucial for effective immune responses (reviewed by Qi et al., 2014).

  Selective pharmacological inhibition of tonic currents indicated that the effects of gp120 are predominantly mediated by α5-containing GABAARs. The other dominant subtype that contributes to tonic current in the hippocampus, the δ-containing GABAAR, was unaffected by gp120 treatment. Additionally, i

  Vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUTs) Conclusions Due to the molecular cloning of EAAT and VGLUT subtypes, a better understanding of the functional properties of these carriers has been elucidated over the last few years. In the case of the EAATs, specific blockers, such as trans-2,4-PDC,

  Hypertriglyceridemia is associated with an overproduction and secretion of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs), due to increased liver lipid substrate availability (Adiels et al., 2005, Choi and Ginsberg, 2011), and/or reduced catabolism of TRLs and their remnants, due to reduced lipoprotein lipas

  Another small compound targeting IBAT has been evaluated in Phase I clinical trial (EudraCT 2013-001175-21) [86]. The oral administration of A4250 to healthy subjects did not give rise to any serious adverse events, was well tolerated and had a similar safety profile as elobixibat; however, it cause

  Analysis of published albumin X-ray structures had suggested that an allosteric link may exist, but could not establish whether Zn2+ prevented FFA binding or vice versa. This question was answered through competition experiments monitored by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC; Fig. 3) for BSA [55

  2021-09-27

  

  At the heart of ferroptosis is a process of lethal lipid peroxidation, which is the oxidative addition of molecular oxygen (O2) to lipids, such as polyunsaturated fatty acyl tails in phospholipids. The first descriptions of such enzymatic reactions were in 1955 by Peterson and colleagues [50] and Ro

  2021-09-27

  

  The suboptimal trypsin selectivity profile of DPC423 prompted us to investigate additional P moieties for potency and selectivity. Glycinamide P () showed low nanomolar binding affinity against fXa which suggested that this P moiety sits deeper into the S pocket of fXa. To further elaborate on this
