Rho Kinase Inhibitors as a Novel Treatment for Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension
In an elegant example of bench-to-bedside research, a hypothesis that cells in the outflow pathway actively regulate conventional outflow resistance was proposed in the 1990s and systematically pursued, exposing novel cellular and molecular mechanisms of intraocular pressure (IOP) regulation. The critical discovery that pharmacologic manipulation of the cytoskeleton of outflow pathway cells dec...
متن کاملRad53 is essential for a mitochondrial DNA inheritance checkpoint regulating G1 to S progression
The Chk2-mediated deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage checkpoint pathway is important for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance. We show in this paper that mtDNA itself affects cell cycle progression. Saccharomyces cerevisiae rho(0) cells, which lack mtDNA, were defective in G1- to S-phase progression. Deletion of subunit Va of cytochrome c oxidase, inhibition of F(1)F(0) adenosine triphosphatas...
متن کاملP130: The Role of Rho-Kinase (ROCK) in Microglia/Macrophage Polarization in Neuroinflammatory Diseases
Macrophage/microglia with heterogonous phenotype and function under physiological and pathological conditions are the main cell lineage involved in inducing immune responses in neuroinflammatory diseases which exhibit combined inflammatory and anti-inflammatory functions. An increase in the expression of iNOS triggers M1 phenotype that secrete high concentrations of inflammatory cytokines, whil...
متن کاملDiacylglycerol kinase inhibition prevents IL-2-induced G1 to S transition through a phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase-independent mechanism.
Stimulation via IL-2R ligation causes T lymphocytes to transit through the cell cycle. Previous experiments by our group have demonstrated that, in human T cells, IL-2 binding induces phosphatidic acid production through activation of the alpha isoform of diacylglycerol kinase. In this study, using the IL-2-dependent mouse T cell line CTLL-2, we demonstrate that pharmacological inhibition of IL...
متن کاملEllagic Acid Reduces Adipogenesis through Inhibition of Differentiation-Prevention of the Induction of Rb Phosphorylation in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes
Ellagic acid (EA) present in many fruits and nuts serves as antiproliferation, anti-inflammatory, and antitumorigenic properties. However, the effect of EA on preadipocytes adipogenesis and its mechanism(s) have not been elucidated. The present study was designed to examine the effect of EA on adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and underlying mechanism(s) of action involved. Data show that EA...
