Low glucose condition induces neuronal cell-death via intracellular mechanisms including mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathways. It has been shown that low glucose medium decreases neuronal survival in cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs). In this study, we have examined the activation of JNK, p38kinase and ERK1/2 pathways in low glucose medium in CGNs. The CGNs were prepared ...

Background: Survival of the conceptus is dependent on continuous progesterone signaling in the maternal decidua but how this is achieved under conditions of oxidative stress that characterize early pregnancy is unknown. Materials and Methods: Laboratory-based analysis of endometrial biopsies and primary endometrial cultures. Results: Using primary cultures, we show that modest levels of reactiv...

In this study, we investigated the effect of Solanum nigrum aerial parts (SNAP) on macrophage activation and autophagy in RAW264.7 cells. SNAP increased production immunostimulatory factors phagocytosis TLR4 inhibition blocked SNAP-mediated factors. addition, JNK reduced factors, was by inhibition. activated autophagy. p38 attenuated These findings indicate that may induce TLR4/JNK-mediated TLR...

Objective(s):Several investigations have revealed that caspase-14 is responsible for the epidermal differentiation and cornification, as well as the regulation of moisturizing effect. However, the precise regulation mechanism is still not clear. This study was aimed to investigate the expression of caspase-14 in filaggrin-deficient normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) and to explore the...

Abstract Melatonin, a pineal gland hormone, has been suggested to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis due its inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation. We previously reported that protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) was an important mediator of receptor activator nuclear factor-?B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis. However, the relationship between melatonin and PRMT1 in d...
