1. Mesenchymal stem cell therapy in acute kidney injury (AKI): review and perspectives
SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is highly prevalent today. It has a multifactorial aetiology and affects people of all ages, genders and ethnicities. Its treatment is essentially supportive of renal function substitution, so new treatment alternatives such as mesenchymal stem cell therapy (MSCs) should be investigated. METHODS: This review

2. ADP-ribosylation: from molecular mechanisms to human disease
Abstract Post-translational modification of proteins by ADP-ribosylation, catalysed by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) using NAD+ as a substrate, plays central roles in DNA damage signalling and repair, modulates a range of cellular signalling cascades and initiates programmed cell death by parthanatos. Here, we present mechanistic aspects of ADP-ribos

3. Protein-protein interactions of the nicotinamide/nicotinate mononucleotide adenylyltransferase of Leishmania braziliensis
BACKGROUND Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) plays a central role in energy metabolism and integrates cellular metabolism with signalling and gene expression. NAD biosynthesis depends on the enzyme nicotinamide/nicotinate mononucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT; EC: 2.7.7.1/18), in which converge the de novo and salvage pathways. OBJECTIVE The pu

4. Yeast extract elicitation increases vinblastine and vincristine yield in protoplast derived tissues and plantlets in Catharanthus roseus
Abstract Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don, Apocynaceae, is an immensely important medicinal plant, produces a variety of anticancerous compounds. The yield of two most investigated alkaloids vinblastine and vincristine is unfortunately very low. A vast array of technologies including elicitation have recently been used to enrich Catharanthus alkaloid in cultu

5. Mir-190b negatively contributes to the Trypanosoma cruzi- infected cell survival by repressing PTEN protein expression
Chagas disease, which is caused by the intracellular protozoanTrypanosoma cruzi, is a serious health problem in Latin America. The heart is one of the major organs affected by this parasitic infection. The pathogenesis of tissue remodelling, particularly regarding cardiomyocyte behaviour after parasite infection, and the molecular mechanisms that occur immed

6. Influence of the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis14-3-3 and gp43 proteins on the induction of apoptosis in A549 epithelial cells
The fungal strain Paracoccidioides brasiliensisremains viable inside of epithelial cells and can induce apoptosis in this population. However, until now, the molecules that participate in this process remained unknown. Thus, this study evaluated the contribution of two P. brasiliensismolecules, the 14-3-3 and glycoprotein of 43 kDa proteins, which had been p

7. Study of Vaccinia and Cowpox viruses' replication in Rac1-N17 dominant-negative cells
Interfering with cellular signal transduction pathways is a common strategy used by many viruses to create a propitious intracellular environment for an efficient replication. Our group has been studying cellular signalling pathways activated by the orthopoxviruses Vaccinia (VACV) and Cowpox (CPXV) and their significance to viral replication. In the present

8. Análise de genes diferencialmente expressos nas vias de sinalização (Hedgehog e Wnt) em carcinomas basocelulares humanos
Hedgehog (HH) and Wingless-Int (Wnt) signaling pathway are related to the process of cellular proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, matrix remodeling and homeostasis of stem cells. Over the years, several mutations in HH signaling pathway have been identified, including the loss of function mutations in ptch1 and the gain of function mutations in smo

9. A century of research: what have we learned about the interaction of Trypanosoma cruzi with host cells?
Since the discovery of Trypanosoma cruzi and the brilliant description of the then-referred to "new tripanosomiasis" by Carlos Chagas 100 years ago, a great deal of scientific effort and curiosity has been devoted to understanding how this parasite invades and colonises mammalian host cells. This is a key step in the survival of the parasite within the verte

10. Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) effects over pancreatic islets function and survival / Efeitos do Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) sobre a função e sobrevivencia de ilhotas pancreaticas
Introduction: CNTF belongs to the IL-6 cytokine family and as such, it signals through gp130 receptor complex, activating many pathways depending on the cell-type, mainly STAT3, MAPK and PI3K. Its effects include increased neuron differentiation and/or survival, and are differentially expressed throughout the animal life. Meanwhile, pancreatic islets are ric

11. Natural compounds as modulators of transduction pathways in tumor cells / Copostos naturais como moduladores de vias de transdução de sinal em celulas tumorais
The search for compounds that specifically act on tumors, with low side effects, is a great aim in the studies related to cancer treatment. Many natural compounds isolated from plants have presented promising results as modulating agents of the signal transduction pathways in several types of tumors. Flavonoids, polyphenolic compounds largely distributed in

12. Avaliação da função e plasticidade celuar de ilhotas pancreaticas em modelo de resistencia a insulina induzida por dexametosa em ratos / Analysis of dexamethasone treatment effcts on insulin secretion, molecular and biochemical parameters in submitted to protein restriction
Introduction and aims: Insulin binds to plasma membrane receptors leading to a variety of cellular responses. Malfunction in any of the insulin cell signalling pathways in target tissues may lead to several conditions and diseases, like hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). These effects may be experimentally reproduced using
