In mammals, NETs contain DNA and antimicrobial proteins composed mainly of nuclear histones, granule-derived neutrophil elastase, myeloperoxidase, lactoferrin, pentraxin, and gelatinase among others [11], [46], [47], [48]. In fish, NETs-like structures have been observed, and DNA staining and immuno

ICT is a product of icariin via the metabolism of intestinal bacteria with estrogen-like activities [33]. ICT as a bone-protecting agent can enhance osteoblast differentiation while suppressing osteoclastic differentiation in vitro [19], and stimulate osteogenic differentiation and inhibit adipogene

To investigate the role of DPP-4 inhibition in inflammation-induced bone resorption, we evaluated the effect of a DPP-4 inhibitor on LPS-induced osteoclast formation and bone-resorption in vivo. Our results showed that the DPP-4 inhibitor inhibited LPS-induced osteoclast formation and bone resorptio

2021-05-10
Examination of Wnt signaling via, for example, complexes of frizzled (Fz) and lipoprotein-receptor-related protein (LRP) receptors has been hindered by difficulties in producing Wnt ligands due to their inherent hydrophobicity [20]. This bottleneck was recently bypassed by constructing highly solubl

There have been attempts to stimulate the dopaminergic system to influence cognition in women around menopause who have subjective complaints about their cognition by Epperson et al. (Epperson et al., 2011, Epperson et al., 2015). In perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, Epperson et al. found tha

More than thirty enzymes with PLA2 activity have been described and, based on sequence similarities, they are currently classified in 16 groups, each containing several sub-groups [16]. However, based on biochemical features these enzymes are frequently grouped into six major families: secreted phos

Human neutrophil elastase (HNE) is a serine protease central to the pathology in a wide range of diseases including chronic wounds, cystic fibrosis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (Owen, 2008). Although neutrophil proteases are necessary for completion of wound healing, HNE is secreted in h

First, KEGG and GO annotation were conducted for these 1251 genes. Then, combining the pathway enrichment analysis, we explored how these genes could function in breast cancer. We discovered that neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction was the most enriched pathway, which comprised numerous G protei

The two most important biological machineries controlling proteostasis, PQC, and degradation are autophagy and the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) (). Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent, tightly regulated catabolic process that degrades unwanted cell organelles and cytoplasmic constituents in lysos
