Molecular mechanism underlying Akt activation in zinc-induced cardioprotection.
Our previous study demonstrated that zinc prevents cardiac reperfusion injury by targeting the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) via Akt and glycogen synthetase kinase 3beta (GSK-3beta). We aimed to address the mechanism by which zinc activates Akt. Treatment of H9c2 cells with ZnCl(2) (10 microM) in the presence of the zinc ionophore pyrithione (4 microM) for 20 min enhanced Ak...
متن کاملMechanism underlying the effects of doxepin on β-amyloid -induced memory impairment in rats
Objective(s): In previous studies, researchers observed that doxepin could improve cognitive processes and has protective effectson the central nervous system. Thus, this study was designed to analyze the effects of doxepin on β-amyloid (Aβ)-induced memory impairment and neuronal toxicity in ratand to explore the underlying mechanism. Materials and Methods: Rats were treated with Aβ1-42 and dox...
متن کاملInhibitory effect of zinc on the advanced glycation end product-induced apoptosis of mouse osteoblastic cells.
Osteoporosis and diabetes have become serious health problems worldwide. Previous studies have suggested that diabetes is associated with osteoporosis and increased fracture risk. However, the mechanism underlying diabetes‑induced osteoporosis remains to be elucidated. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the mechanism underlying diabetes‑induced osteoporosis, and determine the protect...
متن کاملQuinazoline derivative compound (11d) as a novel angiogenesis inhibitor inhibiting VEGFR2 and blocking VEGFR2-mediated Akt/mTOR /p70s6k signaling pathway
Objective(s): We previously reported a series of quinazoline derivatives as vascular-targeting anticancer agents. In this study, we investigated the mechanism underlying the anti-angiogenic activity of the quinazoline derivative compound 11d. Materials and Methods: We examined the effects of quinazoline derivative 11d on vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2) activation via VEG...
متن کاملPrenatal zinc supplementation ameliorates hippocampal astrocytes activation and inflammatory cytokines expression induced by lipopolysaccharide in a rat model of maternal immune activation
Objective: There is evidence that gestational exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) results in fetal zinc deficiency, and eventually neurodevelopmental abnormalities. In this study, we utilized a rat model of maternal immune activation (MIA) to investigate the possible neuroprotective effect of zinc supplementation throughout pregnancy on hippocampal astrocytes activation as well as inflammatory...
