Involvement of Nitric Oxide System on Anxiolytic-Like Behaviors Induced by Cholestasiss

Introduction: The mechanisms of hepatic encephalopathy are not fully understood. Moreover, there is no comprehensive data concerning the effects of nitric oxide (NO) system on anxiolytic-like behaviors induced by bile duct ligation (BDL). Methods: Male mice weighing 25-30 g were used and anxiety-like behaviors were tested using hole-board task. Results: The data indicated that cholestasis incre...

Brusatol enhances the efficacy of chemotherapy by inhibiting the Nrf2-mediated defense mechanism.

The major obstacle in cancer treatment is the resistance of cancer cells to therapies. Nrf2 is a transcription factor that regulates a cellular defense response and is ubiquitously expressed at low basal levels in normal tissues due to Keap1-dependent ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Recently, Nrf2 has emerged as an important contributor to chemoresistance. High constitutive expressi...

A novel class of elicitin-like genes from Phytophthora infestans.

Elicitins are a family of structurally related proteins that induce hypersensitive response in specific plant species. Two Phytophthora infestans cDNAs, inf2A and inf2B, potentially encoding novel elicitin-like proteins, were isolated from a cDNA library made from infected potato tissue. Multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic analyses of 19 elicitins and elicitin-like proteins from nine ...
