• Free fatty acid receptor FFAR

  2021-09-29

  

  Free fatty HOAt receptor 1 (FFAR1, also known as GPR40) belongs to the family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and was de-orphanized in 2003 as a receptor for medium-to long-chain free fatty acids (FFAs) [9,10]. Mainly expressed in beta cells of pancreatic islets, GPR40 can be activated by th

  2021-09-28

  

  The fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFRs), including four highly conserved proteins (FGFR1-4), are important membrane sensors for extracellular signals [4]. By binding to their ligands, FGFRs are activated and can trigger various downstream intracellular signaling cascades, which is required for

  2021-09-28

  

  Site of expression FASTK is expressed in various parts of human body including heart, skeletal muscle, brain, placenta, lung, liver, kidney pancreas (Ota et al., 2004) and many other organs (Fig. 1). It has been reported that FASTK is highly expressed in pancreatic tumors, where it is involved in

  2021-09-28

  

  We have expanded these studies by doing EEG recording in the ET-1 model. Using this technique, we demonstrated that activation of either the ETA isrib or the ETB receptor induces electrical seizures. ET-1 induced electrical seizures occurred in the presence of either the ETA receptor antagonist or t

• YAP TAZ nuclear function is also influenced by interaction

  2021-09-28

  

  YAP/TAZ nuclear function is also influenced by interaction with the TEAD family of transcription factors [96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101]. The RAC1 used the survey exchange factor protein TIAM1 has recently been linked to YAP/TAZ regulation in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Nuclear TIAM1 inhibits YAP/TAZ bin

  2021-09-28

  

  Prolonged sGC oxidative inhibition occurs in many diseases [46,[86], [87], [88]]. Keeping sGC membrane-bound and functional under conditions of high oxidative stress requires a mechanism for restoring oxidized sGC (Fe3+) heme iron to its reduced (Fe2+) state. Without this redox regulation, the sGC e

  2021-09-28

  

  Routine administration of exogenous GC is pertinent during late gestation, particularly in women who are at risk of delivering a preterm infant, aiming at ensuring proper neonatal outcome and survival (Kamath-Rayne et al., 2012). Unfortunately, despite its beneficial roles in foetal survival, variou

  2021-09-28

  

  In the pathogenesis of insulin resistance, chronic activation of inflammatory pathways plays an important role, and the macrophage/adipocyte inter-communication provides a key mechanism underlying the common disease states of decreased insulin sensitivity [10]. This involves the migration of macroph

  2021-09-28

  

  As a part of our continuing efforts towards discovery of new class of compounds against different therapeutic areas and based on the literature reports, we designed a dual pharmacophore which possess a long aliphatic chain of free fatty acids and a phenyl propanoid part of known GPR40 agonists. Here

  2021-09-28

  

  Recently, several dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists have been developed as a treatment of type II diabetes. These peptides can activate both the GLP-1 and the GIP receptor. Such dual receptor agonists are superior compared to single GLP-1 analogues such as liraglutide (Finan et al., 2013). Previously

  2021-09-27

  

  Notch signaling maintains the balance between neural stem cells and neural progenitors (Aguirre et al., 2010, Basak and Taylor, 2007, Mizutani et al., 2007). Conditional knock out of Notch causes depletion in the progenitor pool, showing that Notch is required for the maintenance of neural stem cell

  2021-09-27

  

  Species specificity of small molecular GPR40 agonists have been reported by Takeda scientist. In the binding pocket of TM5, a Leu186 in human GPR40/FFA1 is replaced with Phe in rat, resulting in dramatic inter-species GPR40 activity discrepancy in certain scaffolds of small molecular GPR40 agonists.

  2021-09-27

  

  In addition to the regulation afforded by calcineurin/NFAT axis, it has been shown that deregulation of some microRNAs (e.g. miR-155) can induce activation of Fas/FasL-in various cell types [72]. Furthermore, Fas–FasL interactions appear to be an important mechanism for the maintenance of immune pri

  It is well known that TLR4-induced inflammation is associated with behavioural alterations including fever, hypolocomotion, altered appetite, anxiety and anhedonia (Dantzer, 2006, Dantzer et al., 2008). The current data demonstrate that while PF3845 potently attenuates TLR4-induced cytokines in the

  2021-09-27

  

  Computational approaches such as docking and classical molecular dynamics (MD) are now commonly used to study the structure and dynamics of proteins as well as associated protein-ligand interactions [12]. A fundamental requirement of MD in order to accurately determine the behavior of a protein ove
