Natural flavonoids as antidiabetic agents. The binding of gallic and ellagic acids to glycogen phosphorylase b
(2015)
We present a study on the binding of gallic acid and its dimer ellagic acid to glycogen phosphorylase (GP). Ellagic acid is a potent inhibitor with K(i)s of 13.4 and 7.5 mu M, in contrast to gallic acid which displays K(i)s ...
Amplification of Echoviruses genomic regions by different RT-PCR protocols - a comparative study
(2004)
In the present report, the results of a comparative study in the detection of all Echoviruses reference strains as well as of 38 clinical isolates are presented. Using RT-PCR with already published primer pairs (UG(52)-UC53, ...
High sequence divergence in the 5 ' non-coding region of reference Coxsackie B and ECHO viral strains and clinical isolates revealed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis
(2001)
We report the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns of a 440-bp-long 5' non-coding region (5'NCR) amplification target of all 34 reference Coxsackie B and ECHO (enteric cytopathic human orphan) enterovirus ...
Regulation of Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor and Its Receptor in Skeletal Muscle Is Dependent Upon the Type of Inflammatory Stimulus
(2015)
The cytokine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) binds to its receptor (G-CSFR) to stimulate hematopoietic stem cell mobilization, myelopoiesis, and the production and activation of neutrophils. In response to ...
Study of the interaction among Notch pathway receptors, correlation with stemness, as well as their interaction with CD44, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV, hepatocyte growth factor receptor and the SETMAR transferase, in colon cancer stem cells
(2013)
Context: The Notch signaling pathway is one of the most important pathways during normal development and implicated in self-renewal of adult stem cells and differentiation of progenitor cells. Abnormal expression of Notch ...
Ribonucleases protect RNA from acid precipitation
(1997)
Four, widely used, ribonucleases were found to protect their substrates from acid precipitation by causing, evidently, a modification of their physicochemical properties. The protection was dependent on the kind of substrate ...
MgcRacGAP, a cytoskeleton regulator, inhibits HIF-1 transcriptional activity by blocking its dimerization
(2013)
Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), a dimeric transcription factor of the bHLH-PAS family, is comprised of HIF-1 alpha, which is inducible by hypoxia and ARNT or HIF-1 beta, which is constitutively expressed. HIF-1 is ...
Angiopoietin-2 associations with the underlying infection and sepsis severity
(2015)
Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) is an important mediator in sepsis. We have previously shown that endotoxemia levels are related to the underlying infection and affect septic patients' outcome. Based on this background we now ...
A complex signaling network involving protein kinase CK2 is required for hepatitis C virus core protein-mediated modulation of the iron-regulatory hepcidin gene expression
(2014)
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with hepatic iron overload and elevated serum iron that correlate to poor antiviral responses. Hepcidin (HAMP), a 25-aa cysteine-rich liver-specific peptide, controls iron ...
