Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets in steatosis and steatohepatitis.
Steatosis of the liver may arise from a variety of conditions, but the molecular basis for lipid droplet formation is poorly understood. Although a certain amount of lipid storage may even be hepatoprotective, prolonged lipid storage can result in an activation of inflammatory reactions and loss of metabolic competency. Apart from drug-induced steatosis, certain metabolic disorders associated w...
متن کاملProteases and Anti-proteases: Molecular Mechanisms and Novel Therapeutic Targets
a,-Antitrypsin functions as a 'mousetrap ' to inhibit its target proteinase, neutrophil elastase. The common severe Z deficiency variant ( G ~ u ~ ~ ' + Lys) destabilizes the mousetrap to allow a sequential protein-protein interaction between the reactive-centre loop of one molecule and psheet A of another. These loop-sheet polymers accumulate within hepatocytes to form inclusion bodies that ar...
متن کاملPrediction of the molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for diabetic nephropathy by bioinformatics methods
In this study, we aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms of and genetic factors influencing diabetic nephropathy (DN). Gene expression profiles associated with DN were obtained from the GEO database (Accession no. GSE20844). The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between diabetic mice and non-diabetic mice were screened. Subsequently, the DEGs were subjected to functional and pathway anal...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets in pediatric brain tumors.
Brain tumors are among the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in children. Although surgery, aggressive radiation, and chemotherapy have improved outcomes, many patients still die of their disease. Moreover, those who survive often suffer devastating long-term side effects from the therapies. A greater understanding of the molecular underpinnings of these diseases will drive the developmen...
متن کاملMitochondrial dysfunction in down syndrome: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets
Trisomy of chromosome 21 (TS21) is the most common autosomal aneuploidy compatible with postnatal survival with a prevalence of 1 in 700 newborns. Its phenotype is highly complex with constant features, such as mental retardation, dysmorphic traits and hypotonia, and variable features including heart defects, susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), type 2 diabetes, obesity and immune disord...
