Obestatin Promotes Survival of Pancreatic -Cells and Human Islets and Induces Expression of Genes Involved in the Regulation of -Cell Mass and Function
RESULTS—Obestatin showed specific binding on HIT-T15 and INS-1E -cells, bound to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R), and recognized ghrelin binding sites. Obestatin exerted proliferative, survival, and antiapoptotic effects under serumdeprived conditions and interferon/tumor necrosis factor/ interleukin-1 treatment, particularly at pharmacological concentrations. Ghrelin receptor antagoni...
متن کاملO-13: Na+/K+-ATPase Alpha1 Isoform Mediates Ouabain-Induced Expression of Cyclin D1 and Proliferation of Rat Sertoli Cells
Background: Novel roles for the interaction of cardiotonic steroids to Na+/K+-ATPase have been established in recent years. The aim of the present study was to investigate the intracellular signaling events downstream the action of ouabain on Na+/K+-ATPase in Sertoli cell obtained from immature rats. Treatment of Sertoli cells with ouabain (1 μM) induced a rapid and transient increase in the ex...
متن کاملFocal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) Involvement in Human Endometrial Remodeling During the Menstrual Cycle
Background: Endometrial remodeling occurs during each menstrual cycle in women. Reports have shown that, in a variety of cell types, processes such as proliferation, signaling complex formation and extra cellular matrix remodeling require a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, focal adhesion kinase (FAK). The present study has focused on the expression pattern of FAK in human endometrium during the men...
متن کاملThe Role of Protein Kinase B Signaling Pathway in Anti-cancer Effect of Rolipram on Glioblastoma Multiforme: An In Vitro Study
Introduction: The mechanism of putative cytotoxicity of 4-[3-(cyclopentyloxy)-4-methoxyphenyl]-2-pyrrolidone (rolipram), a specific phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor, on glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is almost unknown. This study aimed to investigate the role of protein kinase B (Akt) pathway in the cytotoxic effect of rolipram on human GBM U87 MG cell line and tumor-initiating cells (TICs) ...
متن کاملModulation of H2O2- Induced Neurite Outgrowth Impairment and Apoptosis in PC12 Cells by a 1,2,4-Triazine Derivative
Introduction: Increased oxidative stress is widely accepted to be a factor in the development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Triazine derivatives possess a wide range of pharmacological activities including anti-oxidative and anti-in.ammatory actions. In this study, we aimed to investigate the possible protective effect of 3-thioethyl-5,6-dimethoxyphenyl-1,2,4-triazine (TEDMT) on H2O2-...
