  Molecular characterization of LEI/L-DNase II LEI, like most serpins, is a metastable protein and its anti-protease activity is related to its “stressed to relaxed transition”. So that, the inhibition of elastase by the well described suicide mechanism generates the cleaved form of LEI (see Padron

  Methods Results Discussion It is well established that CRSwNP is characterized by TH2 inflammation and eosinophilia.22, 27 Yet it is becoming increasingly apparent that B cells might play an important role in the inflammatory response within the sinus tissue of patients with CRSwNP.8, 9 The l

  In accordance with its original discovery, EBI2 may play its major role in response to viral infections or in a pathological context such as in autoimmunity. Although we found a significant delay of onset in the Th17 transfer EAE model, active EAE was unchanged in absence of EBI2. At the moment, we

  Oxysterols as Key Players in Metabolic Syndrome? Obesity and sedentary lifestyle are on the rise and pose serious threats to people\'s health and wellbeing. Obesity is often associated with other pathologies and is one of the criteria included in the definition of metabolic syndrome (MetS) (see G

  In this study, we implicate SCFFBXO3 E3 ligase as a critical modulator of inflammation in atherosclerosis and demonstrate the efficacy of a small molecule FBXO3 inhibitor in suppressing inflammatory responses important in atherosclerosis. Specifically, individuals carrying a hypofunctioning genetic

  The ability of minor groove binding agents to inhibit the activity of DNA helicases is not without precedence. Similar effective inhibition of the unwinding of DNA by the BLM and Werner\'s DNA helicases by the minor groove binder distamycin A has been observed. Further, and similar to RecBCD, interc

  Ultimately, we decided to investigate the role of Cyp3a in obesity because Hepatic P450 Reductase-null (HRN) mice with no P450 activity show hepatic steatosis with increased Cyp2b10 and Cyp3a11 expression, perturbations in liver size, lipid homeostasis, and increased liver polyunsaturated fatty acid

  Although BPA has been proven to cause many health issues such as obesity and neurological toxicity (Rubin, 2011), the effects and mechanisms of BPA on the human tumorigenesis and cancer development are still not well illustrated. In the present study, we found that 10 to 10M BPA significantly promot

  Introduction Phoenixin (PNX) is a recently discovered peptide produced mainly in hypothalamus by proteolytic cleavage of a small integral membrane protein 20 (Smim20) [1]. The most important endogenous active isoforms of PNX are amided peptides, composed of 14 and 20 822 [2]. Previous data provid

  The biological actions of ET‐1 are mediated via two distinct receptor subtypes, the endothelin A and endothelin B receptors (ETA/ETB). While activation of ETA is assumed to mediate contraction of smooth muscle cells, the activity of ETB is related to transient vasodilation [22]. In human corpus cave

  Cytokines – potent mediators of ILC function The different ILC players are portrayed in three categories, ILC1, ILC2 and ILC3, based on the cytokines they produce and transcription factors (TFs) that guide their differentiation [8] (Figure 1). Cytokines are the most extensively studied stimuli fo

  Employing distinct genetic and pharmacological approaches, Divakaruni et al. now demonstrate that macrophages still acquire their IL-4-elicited phenotype in the absence of CPT1a (considered the main isoform in leukocytes) or CPT2, and highlight that the increased LC-FAO in M(IL-4) cells is less cruc
