Anandamide Inhibits Nuclear Factor- B Activation through a Cannabinoid Receptor-Independent Pathway
Anandamide (arachidonoylethanolamine, AEA), an endogenous agonist for both the cannabinoid CB1 receptor and the vanilloid VR1 receptor, elicits neurobehavioral, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and proapoptotic effects. Because of the central role of nuclear factorB (NFB) in the inflammatory process and the immune response, we postulated that AEA might owe some of its effects to the suppres...
متن کاملDetermination of the flux of a neutron radioisotope source through gold activation method
Introduction: In recent years, the use of neutrons has increased in various fields such as medicine and industry. One of the important applications of neutrons is in medical research. Neutrons have greater linear energy transfer than gamma rays and are considered more dangerous radiation. Hence, the detection and determination of neutron dose is a very important and vital issu...
متن کاملActivation of the insulin gene promoter through a direct effect of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha.
Maturity onset diabetes of the young, subtype 1 (MODY1), is associated with defective glucose-dependent insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. MODY1 is caused by mutation in the transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4 alpha). To understand better the MODY1 phenotype, we tested whether HNF4 alpha was able to modulate directly the insulin gene promoter. Transfection of...
متن کاملIntegration of Rac-dependent regulation of cyclin D1 transcription through a nuclear factor-kappaB-dependent pathway.
The small GTP-binding protein Rac1, a member of the Ras superfamily, plays a fundamental role in cytoskeleton reorganization, cellular transformation, the induction of DNA synthesis, and superoxide production. Cyclin D1 abundance is rate-limiting in normal G(1) phase progression, and the abundance of cyclin D1 is induced by activating mutations of both Ras and Rac1. Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-ka...
متن کاملEstrogen enhances angiogenesis through a pathway involving platelet-activating factor-mediated nuclear factor-kappaB activation.
In this study, we investigated the molecular events involved in estrogen-induced angiogenesis. Treatment of the human endometrial adenocarcinoma cells, HEC-1A, with estrogen up-regulated mRNA expression and protein synthesis of various angiogenic factors such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1, basic fibroblast growth factor, and vascular endothelial growth factor. The estrogen-depen...
