  Introduction Heme is an important small molecule and an essential cofactor for a variety of enzymes (George, 1948; Morrison and Stotz, 1954; Maehly, 1952; Igo et al., 1961). During cellular respiration, heme populates cytochromes and serves as an electron acceptor in the electron transport chain (M

  Receptor guanylyl cyclases play essential roles in cardiovascular and gastrointestinal (patho-)physiology, reproduction biology, cell proliferation, bone growth and sensory signal transduction and, therefore, are important pharmacological targets. Accordingly, the receptor guanylyl cyclase agonists

  2022-02-15

  

  The role of the cyclic AMP regulated exchange factor Epac1 is emerging in cancer (Almahariq et al., 2015, Banerjee and Cheng, 2015, Parnell et al., 2015, Parnell et al., 2015, Schmidt et al., 2013). Interestingly, in cancer cell migration, activation of Epac1 can be linked to activation of Rac. As s

  Finally, a potentially effective therapeutic approach is to target the LDH enzymes that mediate bidirectional conversion of pyruvate into lactate. In particular, because LDHA is the predominant isoform expressed in glycolytic tumours, an array of LDHA-targeting compounds have been proposed and valid

  Gastrointestinal peptides and intestinal health Gastrointestinal peptides are intimately involved in the regulation of feeding behaviors, energy metabolism and bodyweight 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41. GPR120 has been demonstrated to induce secretion of two such peptides: GLP-1 and cholecystokinin (CCK)

  It is well known that the expression of GPR109A is regulated under physiological and pathological conditions. We previously found that GPR109A expression in islet beta-cells increased with age and was up-regulated by interferon-γ (Li et al., 2011). GPR109A levels in Min6 and INS-1E islet beta-cells

  Do the actions of GLP-1R agonists on the vascular endothelium account for GLP-1R agonist-mediated cardioprotection? The previous section highlighted the recent clinical evidence from cardiovascular outcomes studies supporting the notion that GLP-1R agonists confer cardioprotective actions in pati

  Ghrelin interactions with the opioid system The endogenous opioid system is an important regulator of appetite and metabolism (Bodnar, 2017, Nogueiras et al., 2012). In fact, several pharmacological studies have demonstrated that agonists of the three opioid receptors (mu, kappa, and delta) incre

  Therapeutic approaches exploiting Cx43 function Due to their potential role in cancer metastasis, attempts have been made to alter connexin function to inhibit cancer growth. Therapeutic approaches include Cx43 peptide mimetics, Cx43 inhibitors, chemical agents capable of enhancing Cx43 function,

  FFAs concentration–response curves for increasing intracellular calcium and receptor phosphorylation showed a difference of ≈1 order of magnitude indicating a relatively large receptor reserve, which is expected for a transfected model, and that high receptor occupancy is necessary to induce recepto

  Studies have indicated that formylated peptides, FPRs, and in particular FPR-1 may be principal conductors in inflammatory processes in sterile-24, 26 and infection-related diseases. FPR-1 and formylated peptides, which are active components of CS, have been involved in smoking-induced lung damage,

  FFAs are essential nutritional molecules that can also modulate numerous cellular functions. Fatty Estradiol derivatives like prostaglandins, leukotrienes lysophosphatidic acid, spinhgosine-1-phosphate and others are well documented to carry out signal transduction via G-protein coupled receptors (

  To date, three other allosteric binding sites of HIV-1 IN have also been reported. In the work of Wielens and co-workers [33], a pocket formed by the residues Tyr83, Trp108, Asn184, Ile200 and Val201 was found, which can be bound by small molecules. In the work by Rhodes et al. [34], a small-molecul

  SETDB1 is ubiquitously expressed in mouse tissues, and more than 900,000 ERVs are dispersed through the mouse genome. Nevertheless, the repertoire of ERVs under the control of SETDB1 was limited and highly cell-type specific. Only 17,349 ERVs were associated with H3K9me3 domains in Th2 cells. The va
