Affinity Crystallography Reveals Binding of Pomegranate Juice Anthocyanins at the Inhibitor Site of Glycogen Phosphorylase: The Contribution of a Sugar Moiety to Potency and Its Implications to the Binding Mode
(2020)Anthocyanins (ACNs) are dietary phytochemicals with an acknowledged therapeutic significance. Pomegranate juice (PJ) is a rich source of ACNs with potential applications in nutraceutical development. Glycogen phosphorylase ... -
Affinity crystallography reveals the bioactive compounds of industrial juicing byproducts of Punica granatum for glycogen phosphorylase
(2018)Background: Glycogen phosphorylase (GP) is a pharmaceutical target for the discovery of new antihyperglycaemic agents. Punica granatum is a well-known plant for its potent antioxidant and antimicrobial activities but so ... -
The architecture of hydrogen and sulfur σ-hole interactions explain differences in the inhibitory potency of C-β-D-glucopyranosyl thiazoles, imidazoles and an N-β-D glucopyranosyl tetrazole for human liver glycogen phosphorylase and offer new insights to structure-based design
(2020)C-Glucopyranosyl imidazoles, thiazoles, and an N-glucopyranosyl tetrazole were assessed in vitro and ex vivo for their inhibitory efficiency against isoforms of glycogen phosphorylase (GP; a validated pharmacological target ... -
Boswellic acids and their derivatives as potent regulators of glucocorticoid receptor actions
(2020)Glucocorticoid (GCs) hormones exert their actions via their cognate steroid receptors the Glucocorticoid Receptors (GR), by genomic or non-genomic mechanisms of actions. GCs regulate many cellular functions among them ... -
Glucopyranosylidene-spiro-imidazolinones, a New Ring System: Synthesis and Evaluation as Glycogen Phosphorylase Inhibitors by Enzyme Kinetics and X-ray Crystallography
(2019)Epimeric series of aryl-substituted glucopyranosylidene-spiro-imidazolinones, an unprecedented new ring system, were synthesized from the corresponding Schiff bases of O-perbenzoylated (gluculopyranosylamine)onamides by ... -
Glucosinolate biosynthesis in Eruca sativa
(2016)Glucosinolates (GSLs) are a highly important group of secondary metabolites in the Caparalles order, both due to their significance in plant-biome interactions and to their chemoprotective properties. This study identified ... -
Granulin a synergizes with cisplatin to inhibit the growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma
(2018)Cisplatin is one of the most potent chemotherapy drugs widely used for cancer treatment. However, due to resistance and toxicity, the application of cisplatin for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is limited. ... -
HIF-1α-derived cell-penetrating peptides inhibit ERK-dependent activation of HIF-1 and trigger apoptosis of cancer cells under hypoxia
(2019)Hypoxia is frequently encountered in the microenvironment of solid tumors. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), the main effectors of cell response to hypoxia, promote cancer cell survival and progression. HIF-1α, the ... -
HIF-2α phosphorylation by CK1δ promotes erythropoietin secretion in liver cancer cells under hypoxia
(2016)Hypoxia inducible factor 2 (HIF-2) is a transcriptional activator implicated in the cellular response to hypoxia. Regulation of its inducible subunit, HIF-2α (also known as EPAS1), involves posttranslational modifications. ... -
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 ... -
Manatee: detection and quantification of small non-coding RNAs from next-generation sequencing data
(2020)Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) play important roles in health and disease. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies are considered as the most powerful and versatile methodologies to explore small RNA (sRNA) ... -
Quercetin accumulates in nuclear structures and triggers specific gene expression in epithelial cells
(2012)Quercetin is a flavonol modifying a number of cell processes in different cell lines. Here, we present evidence that nonconjugated quercetin enters cells possibly via organic anion transporter polypeptides and quickly ... -
Second generation analysis of antinuclear antibody (ANA) by combination of screening and confirmatory testing
(2015)Background: For the serological diagnosis of systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases, a two-tier approach starting with sensitive antinuclear antibody (ANA) detection by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) on HEp-2 cells ...
