GSK3β catalyzes the transfer of γ-phosphate of ATP to the unique substrate Ser/Thr residues with the assistance of two natural activating cofactors Mg2+. Interestingly, the biological observation reveals that a non-native Ca2+ ion can inhibit the GSK3β catalytic activity. Here, the inhibitory...
In addition to RNS, excessive production of ROS may contribute to the destruction of pancreatic islets during diabetes development as oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide inhibit insulin secretion by a mechanism associated with impaired oxidative metabolism and decreased ATP levels in β-cells (51). The...
However, it is noteworthy that the use of AICAR (AMPK activator) could successfully inhibit ceramide accumulation [57]. An increased level of glycogen that was earlier detected in rat soleus muscle during the first days of unloading [18] can also directly stimulate p70S6K ph...
Wnt/b-catenin signaling leading to increased MDR-1 expression (Figure 1b), then would inhibit either Wnt secretion or events distal to Wnt signalsome formation attenuate Wnt/b- catenin signaling to a level, which prevents MDR-1 increases but still allows some Wnt/b-catenin signaling to occur...
to specifically inhibit the neonatal VGSC, leaving the adult isoform fully functional in the excitable cells. Therefore, there is a double abnormality: 1) the expression of a gene normally silenced in a tissue where it is not supposed to be expressed and 2) a neonatal isoform is produced by...

KO embryos show delayed shut down of pluripotency genes during gastrulation, and inhibit mesodermal gene expression [115]. Recombinant Wnt3a added to culture media is reported to enhance the self-renewing activity of mES cells [116, 117], but the importance of the Wnt signal in the in vivo ...
to both disorders and could be explained by the presence of chronic inflammation, oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in the periphery and brain [42,43,44,45]. Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are also acknowledged causes of GSK-3 and mTOR upregulation and could also account ...
In breast cancer cells, NOB enhances p38 MAPK expression and its phosphorylation to inhibit breast cancer progression [145]. In the introduction section, we mentioned that the antioxidant activity of NOB relies on Nrf2 activation. However, the story is completely different in cancer cells. It is ...
Mar. Drugs 2016, 14, 102 9 of 20 Several other adociasulfates exist and function to inhibit kinesin motors. Adociasulfate-13 and -14, extracted from the sponge Cladocroce aculeata, compete with MTs for kinesin binding [116]. Both of these inhibit the ATPase activity of kinesin, which, in...
