Resistance mechanism of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 protease to inhibitors: A molecular dynamic approach

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors comprise an important class of drugs used in HIV treatments. However, mutations of protease genes accelerated by low fidelity of reverse transcriptase yield drug resistant mutants of reduced affinities for the inhibitors. This problem is considered to be a serious barrier against HIV treatment for the foreseeable future. In this st...

Effect of 14-membered-ring macrolides on production of interleukin-8 mediated by protease-activated receptor 2 in human keratinocytes.

The production of interleukin-8 induced by the activation of protease-activated receptor 2 and its synergism with interleukin-1beta were modulated by 14-membered-ring macrolides, namely, roxithromycin, erythromycin, and clarithromycin, in cultured normal human epidermal keratinocytes. Those macrolides may attenuate the protease-activated receptor 2-interleukin-8 axis and thereby modulate proinf...

Protease and Protease-Activated Receptor-2 Signaling in the Pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis

Proteases in the skin are essential to epidermal permeability barrier homeostasis. In addition to their direct proteolytic effects, certain proteases signal to cells by activating protease-activated receptors (PARs), the G-protein-coupled receptors. The expression of functional PAR-2 on human skin and its role in inflammation, pruritus, and skin barrier homeostasis have been demonstrated. Atopi...

Protease-Activated Receptor-2 Is Associated with Terminal Differentiation of Epidermis and Eccrine Sweat Glands

BACKGROUND Protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR-2) participates in various biological activities, including the regulation of epidermal barrier homeostasis, inflammation, pain perception, and melanosome transfer in the skin. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the basic physiological role of PAR-2 in skin. METHODS We investigated PAR-2 expression in human epidermis, skin tumors, and cultured epidermal cell...

Functional effects of protease-activated receptor-2 stimulation on human airway smooth muscle.

The protease-activated receptor (PAR)-2 is present on the smooth muscle and epithelium of human airways and can be activated by mast cell tryptase, trypsin, or the PAR-2 activating peptide (AP). Trypsin and the PAR-2 AP induced contractions in human isolated airways, and these contractions were potentiated in the presence of the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor indomethacin. Trypsin also increase...
