threonine/hemorrhage

In an abnormal fibrinogen with severely impaired polymerization of fibrin monomers, we identified a methionine-to-threonine substitution at position 310 of the gamma chain. Furthermore, asparagine at position 308 was found to be N-glycosylated due to a newly formed consensus sequence,

OBJECTIVE Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) plays a role in regulating phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/serine/threonine kinase (PI3K/AKT) pathway, affecting cell proliferation and apoptosis, and inducing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. This study investigated the

The hemorrhagic toxin (HT) from Clostridium sordellii is pharmacologically related to Clostridium difficile toxins A and B and Clostridium sordellii lethal toxin which have been recently identified as mono-glucosyl-transferases. Here we report that HT, which is coexpressed with lethal toxin, is also

Objective The objective of this in silico study was to compare nucleotide and amino acids DENV-2-NS1 sequences isolated from febrile patients, with and without disease severity, from different South American countries. Matherials and Methods A bayesian MCMC phylogenetic analysis was carried out

BACKGROUND Serine protease inhibitor member 3 of clade A (SERPINA3), also known as alpha-1-antichymotrypsin, inhibits the activity of cathepsin G. The release of neutrophil cathepsin G (proteolytic enzyme) can destroy the vascular matrix through degradation, platelet aggregation and coagulation

BACKGROUND Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine kinase, regulates many processes, including cell growth and the immune response. mTOR is also dysregulated in several neurological diseases, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, and neurodegenerative disease. However, the

Apoptosis or programmed cell death has been demonstrated to play a role in the development of lung injury following hemorrhagic shock. A major pathway modulating the apoptotic response is the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/serine/threonine kinase (PI3K/Akt) pathway. Ciglitazone, a peroxisome

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating neurological disease with a grave prognosis. We evaluated microRNA (miRNA) expression after ICH and evaluated Let7c as a therapeutic target. We harvested hemorrhagic brain 24 hours after collagenase induced ICH in the rat. Microarray analysis was

Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a weakened vessel ruptures and bleeds into the surrounding brain, leading to high rates of death and disability worldwide. A series of complex pathophysiological cascades contribute to the risk of hemorrhagic stroke, and no therapies have proven effective to prevent

BACKGROUND Resuscitation with racemic lactated Ringer's solution induces cellular apoptosis. This study was conducted to determine if the elimination of D-lactate isomer would attenuate apoptosis in the liver, and to investigate the possible mechanisms. METHODS Sprague Dawley rats (n=30, 5 per

Early brain injury (EBI) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is an important cause of high mortality and poor prognosis in SAH. B‑cell lymphoma 2‑associated X protein inhibitor‑1 (BI‑1) is an evolutionarily conserved antiapoptotic protein that is primarily located in the membranes of endoplasmic

OBJECTIVE To explore mutations in serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11) gene in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) with gastrointestinal (GI) hamartomatous polyps. METHODS Six Japanese PJS patients in 3 families were enrolled in this study. Each of the cases had hamartomatous polyposis in the

Ischemia and reperfusion may cause liver injury and are characterized by hepatic microperfusion failure and a decreased hepatocellular function. Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β, a serine-threonine kinase that has recently emerged as a key regulator in the modulation of the

BACKGROUND The platelet adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) receptor P2Y(12) plays a crucial role in haemostasis. Only a few patients with haemorrhagic diathesis due to molecular defects in the P2Y(12) receptor have been described so far. We report a novel molecular defect in the gene coding for P2Y(12)

Glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK-3beta) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that has recently emerged as a key regulatory switch in the modulation of the inflammatory response. Dysregulation of GSK-3beta has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases including sepsis. Here we
