SIRT1 as a potential therapeutic target for treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Sirtuins are members of the silent information regulator 2 (Sir2) family, a group of Class III histone/protein deacetylases. There are 7 different sirtuins in mammals (SIRT1-7), of which SIRT1 is the best known and most studied. SIRT1 is responsible for the regulation of protein activation by means of deacetylating a variety of proteins that play important roles in the pathophysiology of metabo...
متن کاملNox4 as a potential therapeutic target for treatment of uremic toxicity associated to chronic kidney disease
Watanabe et al. report that Nox4 NADPH oxidase catalytic moiety and the subunit p22(phox) mediate the increase in oxidative stress and human tubular epithelial cell injury induced by p-cresyl sulfate, a protein-bound uremic toxin. These findings could be instrumental for the design of novel therapeutic intervention utilizing small-molecule inhibitors specifically targeting Nox oxidases to preve...
متن کاملAttention Deficits in Chronic Methamphetamine Users as a Potential Target for Enhancing Treatment Efficacy
Methamphetamine (MA) is a potent, addictive psychostimulant that has dramatic effects on the central nervous system (CNS). The onset of methamphetamine use has been linked to heightened attention, and chronic methamphetamine use has been associated with deficits in different aspects of attention that can significantly persist into abstinence. Attention deficits in chronic methamphetamine users ...
متن کاملApelin/APJ system: A key therapeutic target for liver disease
Apelin, a new bioactive peptide, was identified as an endogenous ligand for APJ (Angiotensin II receptor-like 1). Apelin and its receptor have an abundant distribution in central nervous system and peripheral tissues, including liver. Apelin/APJ has diverse physiological and pathological effects, including regulation of cardiovascular function, angiogenesis, fluid homeostasis and so on. Apelin/...
متن کاملcxcr4: a potential chemokine receptor for future regenerative therapeutic target
understanding the molecular mechanisms in regeneration could help the stem cell therapists to improve the clinical practices and could be considered a major milestone in the translation of stem cell research to clinics. chemokines have been described as one of the most significant singling networks in stem cells homing and regeneration of damaged organs. cxcr4/cxcl12 has been known as a key pla...
