A Peptide Analogue of Selectin Ligands Attenuated Atherosclerosis by Inhibiting Monocyte Activation by Zhishuai Ye, Shanfeng Zhang, Yubo Liu, Shujing Wang, Jianing Zhang, Rongchong Huang

“…In this study, we firstly measured the effect of the IELLQAR selectin-binding peptide on the inhibition of binding of selectins to monocytes by flow cytometry, which exhibited a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the binding of the P-, E-, and L-selectins to monocytes, especially the inhibition of P-selectin binding to human peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs) (half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50~5 μM)) and THP-1 cells (IC50~10 μM). Furthermore, IELLQAR inhibited P-selectin-induced activation of CD11b on the surface of monocytes and decreased adhesion of monocytes to the endothelium. …”

De quelques enjeux de Rio+20 by Michel Rogalski

“…Comment imaginer, alors que les objectifs du Millenium sont loin d’être atteints, que tous ceux qui sont victimes, ici et maintenant, des pires maux qui frappent la planète accepteront facilement que soient « détournés » ces moyens au bénéfice de générations futures, alors que la question qu’ils affrontent est celle de leur survie au quotidien. Vouloir les associer au sauvetage du climat sans satisfaire dès à présent leurs besoins pressants les plus essentiels ne saurait conduire qu’à l’impasse. »Cette question se pose aussi en terme éthique et sous le large vocable de l’adaptation, terme à la mode, tout comme celui de la résilience, actuellement en sciences de l’environnement. …”

The transcription factor dFOXO controls the expression of insulin pathway genes and lipids content under heat stress in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> by M. A. Eremina, P. N. Menshanov, O. D. Shishkina, N. E. Gruntenko

“…To identify the properties of interaction of two key IIS pathway components under heat stress in D. melanogaster (the forkhead box O transcription factor (dFOXO) and insulin-like peptide 6 (DILP6), which intermediates the dFOXO signal sent from the fat body to the insulin-producing cells of the brain where DILPs1–5 are synthesized), we analysed the expression of the genes dilp6, dfoxo and insulin-like receptor gene (dInR) in females of strains carrying the hypomorphic mutation dilp641 and hypofunctional mutation foxoBG01018. …”
