  2. 1. Effects of ethanol on the expression of immediate-early genes in nerve cells

    Author : Wei-Qun Ding; Institutionen för laboratoriemedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuroadaptation; the central nervous system; AP-1; junD; junB; c-jun; fosB; c-fos; neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y; ethanol; immediate-early genes; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : Immediate-early genes of the fos and jun families encode proteins that dimerize to form a complex of activator protein 1 and regulate the expression of a number of genes in the nervous system. Ethanol has previously been shown to induce alterations in expression of fos and jun genes in the brain. READ MORE

  4. 2. Behavioural and biochemical pharmacology of adenosine/dopamine receptor/receptor interaction

    Author : Roberto Rimondini-Giorgini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Adenosine; A; receptors; A2A receptors; dopamine; D1 receptors; D2 receptors; mGluR receptors; striatum; immediately early genes; c-fos; junB; NGFI-A; microdialysis; receptor binding; in situ hybridisation;

    Abstract : The neurotransmitter dopamine seems to be involved in neuropsychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. Direct blockade of dopamine receptors of the D2 subtype has been the hallmark of pharmacotherapy for schizophrenia since early 1950s. READ MORE

  5. 3. Alcohol and gene expression in nerve cells with emphasis on transcription factor AP-1

    Author : Ulrik Fried; Institutionen för laboratoriemedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nerve cells; SH-SY5Y; muscarinic receptors; MAPKs; PKC; gene expression; jun; Activating Protein-1; Alcohol; ethanol; CRABP-I; Clinical chemistry; Klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Alcohol induces profound effects on the function of the nerve cells in the nervous system. Alterations in gene expression is an important way by which these effects could be induced and sustained. Activating Protein-1 (AP-1) is a dimeric transcription factor constituted of proteins from the fos and jun immediate-early gene families. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular Characterization of Experimental Traumatic Brain Injury

    Keywords : Neurosciences; traumatic brain injury; transcripts; GeneChip; chemokine; inflammation; mouse brain; neuroprotection; neuronal injury; neuroregeneration; astrocytosis; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common cause of mortality and disability in the younger (.... READ MORE

  7. 5. Mechanisms of modulation of PDGFRβ signaling

    Author : Niki Sarri; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Bengt Hallberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PDGF signalling; phosphatase; MKP2; DUSP4; deubiquitinase; USP4; USP17; E3 ligase; Cbl; TRIM21; endoribonuclease; G3BP1; Medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) constitute a family of five functional dimers that bind to two structurally related tyrosine kinase receptors i.e. PDGF receptor α and β (PDGFRα and PDGFRβ, respectively), controlling cell growth, proliferation, and migration in cells of mesenchymal origin.
