Physiological studies confirm improvement of memory by Olibanum, a resin from Boswellia species, while little is known about the molecular mechanism by which it affects memory performance. Two master transcription factors, CREB-1 and CREB-2, regulate downstream memory-related genes expression, leading to the long-term memory potentiation. This study addresses the effects of Beta-boswellic acid ...

(1) Background: The findings of our recent in vivo study indicated that the oral administration oenothein B, a unique macrocyclic ellagitannin, activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 2 and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) mouse brain. A large hydrophilic B is unable to reach brain, suggesting any metabolite(s) might function (2) Results: addition culture medium rat co...

Background and aims: Vitiligo, a pigmentation-associated disease, affects 1–2% of the global population andis difficult to treat. The pathogenetic mechanism vitiligo remains unclear. Vernonia anthelmintica (L.) Willd. extract for treatment was initially recorded 300 years ago. Itschalcone compounds are believed play essential roles in this treatment. In previous study, chalcones were shown enha...

• IF 1 regulates MCU-dependent mitochondrial Ca 2+ uptake. loss induces MCU upregulation through activation of the AMPK/CREB pathway. OMA1 depletion restores physiological levels and entry.

Elevated cAMP levels in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) cells attenuate the doxorubicin-induced p53 accumulation and protect cells against apoptosis. cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) is a cAMP-stimulated transcription factor that regulates genes whose deregulated expression cooperatein oncogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the role of CREB on i...

Objective(s): Neurodegeneration is an outcome of Methamphetamine (METH) abuse. Studies have emphasized on the neuroprotective properties of lithium. The current study is designed towards evaluating the role of Akt-1/GSK3 and CREB-BDNF signaling pathways in mediating lithium neuroprotection against METH-induced neurodegeneration in rats. Materials and ...

Introduction: The neuroprotective impact of curcumin and the role of CREB (cyclic AMP response element binding protein)-BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) signaling pathway was evaluated in methamphetamine (METH)-induced neurodegeneration in rats. Methods: Sixty adult male rats were randomly divided into 6 groups. While normal saline and 10 mg/kg METH were administered intraperitoneally ...

Methamphetamine (METH) abuse causes neurodegeneration. Medicinal herb such as crocin has neuroprotective properties. The current study evaluates the role of CREB-BDNF signaling pathway in mediating the neuroprotective effects of crocin against METH-induced neurodegeneration in rats. Sixty adult male rats were divided randomly into group 1 and group 2 which received 0.7 mL/rat ...

Objective(s): Cyclic AMP (adenosine monophosphate) response element-binding protein (CREB) and Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are reported to broadly involve in learning capacity and memory. BDNF exerts its functions via tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB). BDNF transcription is regulated by stimulating CREB phosphorylation. The CREB-TrkB-BDNF pathway is rep...
