  Several research groups have disclosed potent and selective DGAT-1 inhibitors from several chemically-distinct series. Pre-clinical studies with these compounds have confirmed that small molecule DGAT-1 inhibitors can elicit metabolic outcomes comparable to those observed in DGAT-1−/− mice.19, 20, 2

  2021-08-26

  

  Our data show a site-specific interaction of DDR2 with collagen II. This indicates that the DDRs recognise a particular sequence within collagen and not simply the collagenous triple helix per se. This common tertiary structure of all collagens is formed by three α chains, each with a repeating G-X-

  2021-08-26

  

  Widely expressed mammalian adhesion receptors for fibrillar collagens include the α2β1- and α11β1-integrins and the discoidin domain receptors (DDRs), DDR1 and DDR2 (Leitinger, 2011). Integrins and DDRs bind distinct and separate motifs in native fibrillar collagen (Curat et al., 2001, Vogel et al.,

  Our recent discovery (M.P., H.R., A.S.) of a highly selective and in vivo active DDR1 small-molecule inhibitor provides evidence that DDR1 is a druggable pharmaceutical target, and some details of our efforts are provided below. To avoid the repurposing of known kinase inhibitor structural motifs, w

  Some studies have demonstrated that BMSCs can provide several trophic and growth factors that play important roles in cell survival, angiogenesis, and BMSC differentiation, but not cell replacement (Peled et al., 1999, Shen et al., 2007, Ji et al., 2004). This paracrine effect of BMSCs is a potentia

  Introduction The first reference to a possible involvement of orexins in the effects of drugs of abuse appeared in 2003 and showed that orexigenic peptide neurons respond to the chronic administration of morphine followed by abrupt withdrawal symptoms caused by opioid receptor antagonists (Georgesc

  2021-08-26

  

  The mechanisms in the central nervous system (CNS) controlling the sympathetic tone of the rho kinase inhibitor are associated to behavioral strategies, such as those involved in response to stress. In this regard, morphine withdrawal induces profound and severe stress reactions evidenced by enhanc

  It is now known that cholinergic signaling plays a vital role in controlling many peripheral functions including skeletal and smooth muscle contraction, autonomic postganglionic neuron activation, parasympathetic end-organ activation (e.g., salivary, lacrimal and bronchial glands), regulation of car

  Our results showed that in elastase-induced AAA, TGF-β neutralization finely tunes macrophage phenotype. Note that several studies have already addressed the role of M1 markers, such as IL-6 and IL-1β, or M2 markers, including IL-10 and TGF-β.4, 9, 10, 11 The expression and the role of ARG1 in AAA h

  To further define the importance of CYP3A for OSC metabolism in vivo, a strong CYP3A inhibitor ketoconazole was used to test whether CYP3A would affect its metabolism. As expected, the biotransformation of OSC to SC was significantly decreased by ketoconazole at all three substrate concentrations. H

  Inappropriate heme metabolism has been linked to several neuropsychiatric disorders. In the hippocampi of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, for example, heme was found to binds intracellular amyloid β (Aβ), resulting in reduced heme bioavailability and its functional deficiency (Atamna and Frey, 20

  Our previous studies indicate that EBI2 is involved in the regulation of pro-inflammatory responses and inter-cellular communication under pathophysiological conditions such as LPS challenge (Rutkowska et al., 2016b). The data showed that media taken from LPS stimulated astrocytes induces macrophage

  These studies established IAP proteins as dimeric RING E3 ligases, but did not account for the essential role of dimerization. In IAPs and related E3s, such as RNF4 and MDM2, dimerization not only depends on contacts from the core RING domain but also residues N- and C-terminal to the RING domain (B
