Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are presently the mainstay of therapy, but in up to 40% of the patients complete symptom control fails. Background: Chronic atrial fibrillation (cAF) is associated with abnormal atrial Ca2+ and STW5 was shown to relief coconcomitant reflux symptoms in patients with functional protein-kinase signaling, with G-protein related, cyclic AMP (cAMP)-mediated protein dyspepsia (2) and to prevent inflammation in an acute model of GERD without affecting kinase A hyperphosphorylation playing a significant role.

Conclusion: NDPK-B is expressed in human and canine atria, is upregulated in both clinical and experimental AF, and enhances Gs and cAMP signaling. NDPK-B may constitute a novel pathway for abnormal atrial G-protein/cAMP signaling, with potentially important implications for AF pathophysiology. 002 Peak levels of cyanide after consumption of foods containing cyanogenic glycosides: A cross-over study on bioavailability in humans Abraham K., Buhrke T., Lampen A. 004 Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung Abt.

  • Exploring the Activity of an Inhibitory Neurosteroid at GABAA Receptors
    1 Exploring the activity of an inhibitory neurosteroid at GABAA receptors Sandra Seljeset A thesis submitted to University College London for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2016 Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology University College London Gower Street WC1E 6BT 2 Declaration I, Sandra Seljeset, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I can confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract The GABAA receptor is the main mediator of inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Its activity is regulated by various endogenous molecules that act either by directly modulating the receptor or by affecting the presynaptic release of GABA. Neurosteroids are an important class of endogenous modulators, and can either potentiate or inhibit GABAA receptor function. Whereas the binding site and physiological roles of the potentiating neurosteroids are well characterised, less is known about the role of inhibitory neurosteroids in modulating GABAA receptors. Using hippocampal cultures and recombinant GABAA receptors expressed in HEK cells, the binding and functional profile of the inhibitory neurosteroid pregnenolone sulphate (PS) were studied using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings. In HEK cells, PS inhibited steady-state GABA currents more than peak currents. Receptor subtype selectivity was minimal, except that the ρ1 receptor was largely insensitive. PS showed state-dependence but little voltage-sensitivity and did not compete with the open-channel blocker picrotoxinin for binding, suggesting that the channel pore is an unlikely binding site. By using ρ1-α1/β2/γ2L receptor chimeras and point mutations, the binding site for PS was probed.

    RAC-GWVI: Research Alerts—PubMed Citations for August 21 to 28, 2018 1 GULF WAR ILLNESS Neurotoxicity in acute and repeated organophosphate exposure. Naughton SX1, Terry AV Jr2. Toxicology. 2018 Aug 22. pii: S0300-483X(18)30264-6. doi: 10.1016/j.tox.2018.08.011. PMID: 30144465. [Epub ahead of print] The term organophosphate (OP) refers to a diverse group of chemicals that are found in hundreds of products worldwide. As pesticides, their most common use, OPs are clearly beneficial for agricultural productivity and the control of deadly vector-borne illnesses. However, as a consequence of their widespread use, OPs are now among the most common synthetic chemicals detected in the environment as well as in animal and human tissues. This is an increasing environmental concern because many OPs are highly toxic and both accidental and intentional exposures to OPs resulting in deleterious health effects have been documented for decades. Some of these deleterious health effects include a variety of long-term neurological and psychiatric disturbances including impairments in attention, memory, and other domains of cognition. Moreover, some chronic illnesses that manifest these symptoms such as Gulf War Illness and Aerotoxic Syndrome have (at least in part) been attributed to OP exposure. In addition to acute acetylcholinesterase inhibition, OPs may affect a number of additional targets that lead to oxidative stress, axonal transport deficits, neuroinflammation, and autoimmunity. Some of these targets could be exploited for therapeutic purposes. The purpose of this review is thus to: 1) describe the important uses of organophosphate (OP)-based compounds worldwide, 2) provide an overview of the various risks and toxicology associated with OP exposure, particularly long-term neurologic and psychiatric symptoms, 3) discuss mechanisms of OP toxicity beyond cholinesterase inhibition, 4) review potential therapeutic strategies to reverse the acute toxicity and long term deleterious effects of OPs.

  • Newly Identified Gon4l/Udu-Interacting Proteins
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Newly identifed Gon4l/ Udu‑interacting proteins implicate novel functions Su‑Mei Tsai1, Kuo‑Chang Chu1 & Yun‑Jin Jiang1,2,3,4,5* Mutations of the Gon4l/udu gene in diferent organisms give rise to diverse phenotypes. Although the efects of Gon4l/Udu in transcriptional regulation have been demonstrated, they cannot solely explain the observed characteristics among species. To further understand the function of Gon4l/Udu, we used yeast two‑hybrid (Y2H) screening to identify interacting proteins in zebrafsh and mouse systems, confrmed the interactions by co‑immunoprecipitation assay, and found four novel Gon4l‑interacting proteins: BRCA1 associated protein‑1 (Bap1), DNA methyltransferase 1 (Dnmt1), Tho complex 1 (Thoc1, also known as Tho1 or HPR1), and Cryptochrome circadian regulator 3a (Cry3a). Furthermore, all known Gon4l/Udu‑interacting proteins—as found in this study, in previous reports, and in online resources—were investigated by Phenotype Enrichment Analysis. The most enriched phenotypes identifed include increased embryonic tissue cell apoptosis, embryonic lethality, increased T cell derived lymphoma incidence, decreased cell proliferation, chromosome instability, and abnormal dopamine level, characteristics that largely resemble those observed in reported Gon4l/udu mutant animals. Similar to the expression pattern of udu, those of bap1, dnmt1, thoc1, and cry3a are also found in the brain region and other tissues. Thus, these fndings indicate novel mechanisms of Gon4l/ Udu in regulating CpG methylation, histone expression/modifcation, DNA repair/genomic stability, and RNA binding/processing/export. Gon4l is a nuclear protein conserved among species. Animal models from invertebrates to vertebrates have shown that the protein Gon4-like (Gon4l) is essential for regulating cell proliferation and diferentiation.

Methods: Active components of Lanbuzheng (Gei herba) were screened by Lipinski’s rule of five. Targets acted with active components were predicted by PharmMapper database, and targets whose function associated with blood deficiency were screened by Therapeutic Target Database and UniProt.
