The glycoprotein GPNMB attenuates astrocyte inflammatory responses through the CD44 receptor.

BACKGROUND: Neuroinflammation is one of the hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD). Activation of glial cells, including microglia and astrocytes, is a characteristic of the inflammatory response. Glycoprotein…

Noncanonical mechanisms to regulate nuclear receptor signaling.

Nuclear receptor (NR)-targeted therapies comprise a large class of clinically employed drugs. A number of drugs currently being used against this protein class were designed as structural analogs of the endogenous ligand of these receptors. In recent…

Postreceptor defects in alveolar epithelial beta-adrenergic signaling after prolonged isoproterenol infusion.

We previously found that prolonged isoproterenol (Iso) infusion in rats impaired the ability of beta-adrenoceptor (beta-AR) agonists to increase alveolar liquid clearance (ALC). Here, we determined if postreceptor defects in beta-AR signaling…

Inhibition of cardiac fibroblast proliferation and myofibroblast differentiation by resveratrol.

Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) regulate myocardial remodeling by proliferating, differentiating, and secreting extracellular matrix proteins. Prolonged activation of CFs leads to cardiac fibrosis and reduced myocardial contractile function. Resveratrol…

Early upregulation of myocardial CXCR4 expression is critical for dimethyloxalylglycine-induced cardiac improvement in acute myocardial infarction.

The stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1):CXCR4 is important in myocardial repair. In this study we tested the hypothesis that early upregulation of cardiomyocyte CXCR4 (CM-CXCR4) at a time of high myocardial SDF-1 expression could be a strategy to…

Activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 dimers requires glutamate binding in both subunits.

Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) form stable, disulfide-linked homodimers. Lack of a verifiably monomeric mGluR1 mutant has led to difficulty in assessing the role of dimerization in the molecular mechanism of mGluR1 activation. The…

Thrombospondin-4 mediates TGF-beta-induced angiogenesis.

TGF-beta is a multifunctional cytokine affecting many cell types and implicated in tissue remodeling processes. Due to its many functions and cell-specific effects, the consequences of TGF-beta signaling are process-and stage-dependent, and it is not…

Canertinib induces ototoxicity in three preclinical models.

Neuregulin-1 (NRG1) ligand and its epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/ERBB family regulate normal cellular proliferation and differentiation in many tissues including the cochlea. Aberrant NRG1 and ERBB signaling cause significant hearing…

Wogonin, a plant derived small molecule, exerts potent anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective effects through the activation of ROS/ERK/Nrf2 signaling pathways in human Osteoarthritis chondrocytes.

Osteoarthritis (OA), characterized by progressive destruction of articular cartilage, is the most common form of human arthritis. Here, we evaluated the potential chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of Wogonin, a naturally occurring…

Lipopolysaccharide supports maintaining the stemness of CD133(+) hepatoma cells through activation of the NF-kappaB/HIF-1alpha pathway.

Due to the existence of cancer stem cells (CSCs), persistence and relapse of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are common after treatment with existing anti-cancer therapies. Emerging evidence indicates that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plays a…
