چکیده

Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is a key component of the Wnt signalling pathway, among others, and is known to be regulated by inhibition. Now a novel, dual specificity protein kinase known as Zaphod kinase has been discovered that activates GSK-3 by tyrosine phosphorylation.

The Canonical Wnt Signaling (Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway): A Potential Target for Cancer Prevention and Therapy

Precise regulation of signal transduction pathways is crucial for normal animal development and for maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis in adults. The Wnt/Frizzled-mediated signaling includes canonical and non-canonical signal transduction pathways. Upregulation or downregulation of the canonical Wnt-signaling (or the Wnt/β-Catenin signal transduction) leads to a variety of human diseas...

The Expression of Signal Regulatory Protein-alpha in Normal and Osteoarthritic Human Articular Cartilage and Its Involvement in Chondrocyte Mechano-transduction Response

Signal regulatory proteins (SIRP) belong to immunoglobulin super family (IgSF) and relate to integrin signaling cascades. It has been shown that SIRPa is expressed in a variety of cells including myeloid cells and neurons. In the present study the expression of this IgSF member in articular chondrocytes was investigated. Methods: Using a panel of anti-SIRPalpha antibodies, immunohistochemistry...

اثر فلاونوئید کوئرستین بر تغییرات ساختاری ناحیه کینازی پروتئین نوترکیب FGFR2b

Background and Aim: Antioxidants are compounds that protect cells from attacks of free radicals. Lack of balance between antioxidants and free radicals results in oxidative stress, which ultimately results in cell damage. The effects of flavonoids are not related solely to their antioxidant properties, but also to their effects on cellular signal pathways. The present study was conducted to eva...

JAK-STAT pathway and JAK inhibitors: a primer for dermatologists

Background: All cellular events depend upon the DNA synthesis and gene expression involving complex interplay between ligands such as interleukins and interferons, with various cell membrane receptors. These ligand-receptors interactions transmit signals within the cell via numerous signal transduction pathways to affect gene expression. Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcrip...
