Guanosine exerts neuroprotective effects in the central nervous system. Apoptosis, a morphological form of programmed cell death, is implicated in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). MPP(+), a dopaminergic neurotoxin, produces in vivo an

We have reported that valproic acid upregulates melatonin MT1 receptor expression in rat C6 glioma cells. In addition to its anticonvulsant and mood stabilizing properties, valproic acid can also inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Since the melatoni

Wound healing is a complex sequence of cellular and molecular processes that involves multiple cell types and biochemical mediators. Several growth factors have been identified that regulate tissue repair, including the neurotrophin nerve growth fact

Apoptosis is implicated in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease. Extracellular guanosine inhibits staurosporine-induced apoptosis in astrocytes. We examined whether guanosine protects SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells against beta-amyloid(betaA

Transected dorsal root axons of adult rats can be induced to regenerate through the normally non-permissive environment of the dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) into the spinal cord by implanting enteric glia (EG) into the DREZ. We have now examined whet

Astrocytes release adenine-based and guanine-based purines under physiological and, particularly, pathological conditions. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine if adenosine induced apoptosis in cultured rat astrocytes. Further, if guanosine,

Extracellular guanosine has diverse effects on many cellular components of the central nervous system, some of which may be related to its uptake into cells and others to its ability to release adenine-based purines from cells. Yet other effects of e

Receptor sites, specific for guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) were characterised in myoblasts and myotubes of C2C12 mouse skeletal muscle cells, using binding experiments and measurements of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). We identified tw

Knowledge of transcription and translation has advanced our understanding of cardiac diseases. Here, we present the hypothesis that the stability of mRNA mediated by the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) plays a role in changing gene expression in

Functional β-adrenoceptors (β-AR) have been identified and characterized in blood vessels under in vivo conditions as well as in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) grown in culture. Agonist occupancy of β-AR activates adenylyl cyclase (AC) via the
