The multifaceted role of pirfenidone and its novel targets
BACKGROUND Pirfenidone (PFD) is a molecule that exhibits antifibrotic properties in a variety of in vitro and animal models of lung, liver and renal fibrosis. These pathologies share many fibrogenic pathways with an abnormal fibrous wound-healing process; consequently, tissue repair and tissue regeneration-regulating mechanisms are altered. OBJECTIVE To investigate the usefulness of PFD as an...
متن کاملStructural study of MCPIP1 N-terminal conserved domain reveals a PIN-like RNase
MCP-1-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1) plays an important role in the downregulation of the LPS-induced immune response by acting as an RNase targeting IL-6 and IL-12b mRNAs. A conserved domain located in the N-terminal part of MCPIP1 is thought to be responsible for its RNase activity, but its catalytic mechanism is not well understood due to the lack of an atomic resolution structure. We determined...
متن کاملRNase H and its effects on PCR.
RNase H was originally described as an enzyme that specifically degrades RNA in an RNA:DNA hybrid and is inactive on ssor dsRNAs and DNAs alone (2). RNase H treatment is recommended during cDNA preparation because the RNase H activity, originally present in reverse transcriptases, has been removed in some cloned enzymes. These modified enzymes yield more cDNA, so they are now more routinely use...
متن کاملRNase L: its biological roles and regulation.
2'-5'oligoadenylate-dependent ribonuclease L (RNase L) is one of the key enzymes involved in the function of interferons (IFNs), a family of cytokines participating in innate immunity against viruses and other microbial pathogens. Upon binding with its activator, 5'-phosphorylated, 2'-5' linked oligoadenylates (2-5A), RNase L degrades single-stranded viral and cellular RNAs and thus plays an im...
