Impairment in selenocysteine synthesis as a candidate mechanism of inducible coagulopathy in COVID-19 patients
(2021)Coagulopathy has recently been recognized as a recurring complication of COVID-19, most typically associated with critical illness. There are epidemiological, mechanistic and transcriptomic evidence that link Selenium with ... -
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase downregulates T-cell receptor complex ζ-chain and c-Myc, and reduces proliferation, lactate dehydrogenase levels and mitochondrial glutaminase in human T-cells
(2016)Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), through L-tryptophan depletion, activates general control non-derepressible (GCN) 2 kinase and suppresses T-cell proliferation, in addition to suppressing aerobic glycolysis and glutaminolysis, ... -
Inhibition of calcitriol inactivating enzyme CYP24A1 gene expression by flavonoids in hepatocellular carcinoma cells under normoxia and hypoxia
(2021)A vast number of epidemiological, preclinical and in vitro experimental data strongly indicate the anticancer potential of calcitriol, the biologically active form of vitamin D. However, for the implementation of a vitamin ... -
Kynurenine, by activating aryl hydrocarbon receptor, decreases erythropoietin and increases hepcidin production in HepG2 cells: A new mechanism for anemia of inflammation
(2016)It is known that inadequate erythropoietin (EPO) production contributes to the pathogenesis of anemia of inflammation, although the exact molecular mechanism is unknown. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) may compete with ... -
Larvicidal activity of spinosad and its impact on oviposition preferences of the West Nile vector Culex pipiens biotype molestus – A comparison with a chitin synthesis inhibitor
(2020)In the present study, the larvicidal activity of ageing aqueous suspensions of spinosad against larvae of Culex pipiens biotype molestus, as well as their effect on the oviposition preferences of adult gravid females were ... -
A lightly roasted coffee extract improves blood and tissue redox status in rats through enhancement of GSH biosynthesis
(2019)Coffee is a highly consumed beverage with many putative beneficial health effects, however these often come from observational studies. In the current work, a lightly roasted coffee extract that has previously been reported ... -
Low-Grade Systemic Inflammation Interferes with Anabolic and Catabolic Characteristics of the Aged Human Skeletal Muscle
(2021)Aging is associated with the development of chronic low-grade systemic inflammation (LGSI) characterized by increased circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines and acute phase proteins such as C-reactive protein ... -
The NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside decreases exercise performance in rats
(2016)Background: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and its phosphorylated form (NADP+) are key molecules in ubiquitous bioenergetic and cellular signaling pathways, regulating cellular metabolism and homeostasis. Thus, ... -
Novel immunoassays for detection of CUZD1 autoantibodies in serum of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases
(2017)Pancreatic autoantibodies (PABs) are detected in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Their prevalence is higher in Crohn's disease (CrD) than in ulcerative colitis (UC). Glycoprotein 2 (GP2) and, more recently, ... -
Paraoxonase-1 genetic polymorphisms in organophosphate metabolism
(2019)Organophosphates (OPs) are a class of chemicals commonly used in agriculture as pesticides, that can often lead to severe toxicity in humans. Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) belongs to a family of A-esterases and hydrolyses several ... -
Phytochemical, antioxidant, enzyme activity and antifungal properties of Satureja khuzistanica in vitro and in vivo explants stimulated by some chemical elicitors
(2020)Context:Satureja khuzistanica Jamzad. (Lamiaceae), is known for its antifungal and antioxidant compounds, especially rosmarinic acid (RA). Objective: The study examines the effect of elicitors on RA production and phytochemical ... -
Placental expression of PAPPA, PAPPA-2 and PLAC-1 in pregnacies is associated with FGR
(2018)Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a gynecological disorder of varying etiology. In the present study, an expression analysis of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPPA), pregnancy-associated plasma protein A2 (PAPPA2) ... -
Plant terpenoid metabolism co-opts a component of the cell wall biosynthesis machinery
(2020)Glycosylation is one of the most prevalent molecular modifications in nature. Single or multiple sugars can decorate a wide range of acceptors from proteins to lipids, cell wall glycans and small molecules, dramatically ... -
Proteomic analysis of the mitochondrial glucocorticoid receptor interacting proteins reveals pyruvate dehydrogenase and mitochondrial 60 kDa heat shock protein as potent binding partners
(2022)Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones that regulate plethora biological actions such as growth and metabolism, immune response, and apoptosis. Glucocorticoids actions are mediated via glucocorticoid receptors which act ... -
Pus1p-dependent tRNA Pseudouridinylation Becomes Essential When tRNA Biogenesis Is Compromised in Yeast
(2001)Yeast Pus1p catalyzes the formation of pseudouridine (ψ) at specific sites of several tRNAs, but its function is not essential for cell viability. We show here that Pus1p becomes essential when another tRNA: pseudouridine ... -
The role of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors in schizophrenia
(2016)Close to 1% of the world population suffer from schizophrenia. Current medications for this chronic mental disorder have greatly improved treatment over the last half century or more, but, the newer atypical antipsychotics ... -
Sad3 and Sad4 are required for saponin biosynthesis and root development in oat
(2008)Avenacins are antimicrobial triterpene glycosides that are produced by oat (Avena) roots. These compounds confer broad-spectrum resistance to soil pathogens. Avenacin A-1, the major avenacin produced by oats, is strongly ... -
