The influences of specific protein phosphatase and protein kinase
inhibitors on the ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel-opening effect of
pinacidil were investigated in single rat ventricular myocytes using
patch clamp technique. In cell-attached patches,...
Overexpression of amyloid precursor protein with the Swedish mutation causes abnormal hyperphosphorylation of the microtubule-associated protein tau. Hyperphosphorylated isoforms of tau are major components of neurofibrillary tangles, which are histopathological...
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a serine and threonine protein phosphatase that regulates cell cycle progression and apoptosis. PP2A is composed of various subunits. Among these subunits, subunit B plays...
Curcumin provides various biological effects through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Moreover, curcumin exerts a neuroprotective effect against ischemic condition-induced brain damage. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a ubiquitous serine...
Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is the first step in metastasis and implicated in the phenotype of cancer stem cells. Therefore, understanding and controlling EMT, are essential to the prevention and...
BACKGROUND: Propofol is the extensively used general anesthetic-sedative agent.Although propofol is known to be involved in migration of various cells, migration response to it in vascular smooth muscle cells is...
BACKGROUND: Apart from its blood pressure-lowering effect by blocking the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, telmisartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARB), exhibits various ancillary effects including cardiovascular protective effects in...
The present investigation tested the hypothesis that the activation of
protein kinase G (PKG) leads to a phosphorylation of Ca2+-activated
potassium channel (KCa channel) and is involved in the activation of
KCa channel...
