    Signaling from Rho to the actin cytoskeleton through protein kinases ROCK and LIM-kinase (1999)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1999-08-07
    Description: The actin cytoskeleton undergoes extensive remodeling during cell morphogenesis and motility. The small guanosine triphosphatase Rho regulates such remodeling, but the underlying mechanisms of this regulation remain unclear. Cofilin exhibits actin-depolymerizing activity that is inhibited as a result of its phosphorylation by LIM-kinase. Cofilin was phosphorylated in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells during lysophosphatidic acid-induced, Rho-mediated neurite retraction. This phosphorylation was sensitive to Y-27632, a specific inhibitor of the Rho-associated kinase ROCK. ROCK, which is a downstream effector of Rho, did not phosphorylate cofilin directly but phosphorylated LIM-kinase, which in turn was activated to phosphorylate cofilin. Overexpression of LIM-kinase in HeLa cells induced the formation of actin stress fibers in a Y-27632-sensitive manner. These results indicate that phosphorylation of LIM-kinase by ROCK and consequently increased phosphorylation of cofilin by LIM-kinase contribute to Rho-induced reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Maekawa, M -- Ishizaki, T -- Boku, S -- Watanabe, N -- Fujita, A -- Iwamatsu, A -- Obinata, T -- Ohashi, K -- Mizuno, K -- Narumiya, S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Aug 6;285(5429):895-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology, Kyoto University Faculty of Medicine, Kyoto 606-8315, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10436159" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Sfrp5 is an anti-inflammatory adipokine that modulates metabolic dysfunction in obesity (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-06-19
    Description: Adipose tissue secretes proteins referred to as adipokines, many of which promote inflammation and disrupt glucose homeostasis. Here we show that secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (Sfrp5), a protein previously linked to the Wnt signaling pathway, is an anti-inflammatory adipokine whose expression is perturbed in models of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Sfrp5-deficient mice fed a high-calorie diet developed severe glucose intolerance and hepatic steatosis, and their adipose tissue showed an accumulation of activated macrophages that was associated with activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling pathway. Adenovirus-mediated delivery of Sfrp5 to mouse models of obesity ameliorated glucose intolerance and hepatic steatosis. Thus, in the setting of obesity, Sfrp5 secretion by adipocytes exerts salutary effects on metabolic dysfunction by controlling inflammatory cells within adipose tissue.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3132938/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3132938/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ouchi, Noriyuki -- Higuchi, Akiko -- Ohashi, Koji -- Oshima, Yuichi -- Gokce, Noyan -- Shibata, Rei -- Akasaki, Yuichi -- Shimono, Akihiko -- Walsh, Kenneth -- AG15052/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- AG34972/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- HL81587/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL86785/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P01 HL081587/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P01 HL081587-05/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG015052/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG015052-06/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG034972/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG034972-03/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL086785/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL086785-19/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Jul 23;329(5990):454-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1188280.

    Effect of treatment at night with S-1452, a thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist, on the morning rise in platelet aggregation (1992)

    Notes: Summary It is well known that platelet aggregation shows a morning rise, which may contribute to the increase in the onset of ischaemic heart diseases during the morning period. The present study was undertaken to determine whether nocturnal dosage with S-1452, a thromboxane AZ receptor antagonist, would blunt the morning rise in platelet aggregability. S-1452 50 mg or placebo were given orally to 8 healthy subjects at 10.00 h (day trial) or 22.00 h (night trial) according to a cross-over design. Plasma concentrations of S-1452 and its metabolites, bisnor-( + )-S-145 and tetranor-(+ )-S-145, and platelet aggregation were determined during the 12-hour period following the dose. Mean plasma concentrations of S-1452, bisnor-( + )-S-145 and tetranor-(+ )-S-145 during the absorption phase were lower after the nocturnal dose than after the morning dose. The maximum plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve of the compounds were also lower and the time to the maximum concentration were delayed after the treatment at night. A morning rise in platelet aggregation was observed following placebo treatment. The inhibitory effect of S-1452 on platelet aggregation was observed at 3 hours and persisted for up to 9 h in both trials. The results suggest that S-1452 is absorbed more slowly after the nocturnal dose than after the morning dose. However nocturnal treatment with 50 mg S-1452 may blunt the morning rise in platelet aggregability.

    Effect of diltiazem on the pharmacokinetics of propranolol, metoprolol and atenolol (1989)

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology , Medicine
    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetic interaction between diltiazem and three β-adrenoceptor blockers propranolol, metoprolol and atenolol was investigated in healthy volunteers given diltiazem 30 mg or placebo t.d.s. for 3 days, followed by a single dose of propranolol 20 mg, metoprolol 40 mg or atenolol 50 mg. The AUCs of propranolol and metoprolol were significantly increased after diltiazem and it significantly prolonged the elimination half-life of metoprolol. In contrast, it did not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of atenolol. Propranolol significantly decreased the resting pulse rate after diltiazem pretreatment as compared to placebo. The results indicate that diltiazem impaired the clearance of propranolol and metoprolol, which are principally metabolized by an oxidative pathway, and that the kinetic interaction between diltiazem and propranolol may partly be related to the significant reduction in the pulse rate produced by the latter.

    Circadian influence on effect of propranolol on exercise-induced tachycardia in healthy subjects (1990)

    Notes: Summary Following a cross-over design propranolol 20 mg p.o. was given to 7 healthy subjects at 09.00 h and 21.00 h at an interval of 1 week. Heart rate (HR) during submaximal ergometer exercise was measured at four intervals during 10 h after treatment. Plasma propranolol concentrations were also determined. The suppressive effect (%R) of propranolol on the rise in HR during exercise after the morning dosage was significantly greater at 1.5 h and tended to be greater 3 h after administration than at comparable times in the evening trial. Mean plasma propranolol concentrations during the early phase were higher after the morning than the evening dose. The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 10 h (AUC (0–10)) and absorption rate constant (ka) were significantly greater after the morning dose. The time to maximum concentration (tmax) and elimination half-life (t1/2) of the morning and evening dosages did not differ. A significant correlation was observed between plasma propranolol concentration and %R in HR during exercise in the morning (r=0.74) and evening (r=0.63) trials, and the regression lines of the morning and evening treatments did not differ. The data indicate that the suppressive effect of propranolol on exercise-induced tachycardia was relatively greater after a morning than an evening dose; that propranolol was more rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after the morning than the evening dosage; that diurnal changes in the activity of propranolol depend in part on the time of administration and its subsequent effect on plasma concentrations of the drug; and that the antagonist activity of propranolol relative to a given drug concentration may not differ between morning and evening treatments.
