Pharmacologic Targets and Prototype Therapeutics in the Kallikrein-Kinin System: Bradykinin Receptor Agonists or Antagonists by J. N. Sharma, G.J. AL-Sherif

“…It is a proinflammatory polypeptide that is involved in many pathological conditions and can cause pain, inflammation, increased vascular permeability, vasodilation, contraction of various smooth muscles, as well as cell proliferation. On the other hand, it has been shown that BK has cardioprotective effects, as all components of KKS are located in the cardiac muscles. …”

Chemokines in Renal Diseases by Stephan Segerer, Peter J. Nelson

“…In addition to their effects on migration, chemokines can also activate effector function in leukocytes and are involved in cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Therefore, it is not surprising that chemokines play important roles in a wide range of human diseases, including genetic immunodeficiencies, infections, autoimmune diseases, and malignant tumors. …”

Inhibition of IGF-1R-Dependent PI3K Activation Sensitizes Colon Cancer Cells Specifically to DR5-Mediated Apoptosis But Not to rhTRAIL by Bodvael Pennarun, Jan H. Kleibeuker, Tjitske Oenema, Janet H. Stegehuis, Elisabeth G.E. de Vries, Steven de Jong

“…The activity of the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) survival pathway is often increased in cancer, influencing both cell proliferation and apoptosis. We hypothesized that inhibiting the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) using NVP-AEW541, a small molecular weight tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the IGF-1R, could increase death receptor (DR)-mediated apoptosis in colon cancer cells.…”

Current Progress in the Rejuvenation of Aging Stem/Progenitor Cells for Improving the Therapeutic Effectiveness of Myocardial Repair by Gurleen Kaur, Chuanxi Cai

“…Pharmaceutical administration is another approach that allows for manipulation of signaling pathways related to cell proliferation and cell senescence. Since the stem cell niche can contribute to the age-related decline in stem cell function, rejuvenation strategies also include optimization of extracellular factors. …”

Impaired Muscle Regeneration in Ob/ob and Db/db Mice by Mai-Huong Nguyen, Ming Cheng, Timothy J. Koh

“…Muscle regeneration was delayed in ob/ob and db/db mice, but not in a less severe model of insulin resistance – feeding a high-fat diet to wild-type mice. Angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and myoblast accumulation were also impaired in ob/ob and db/db mice, but not the high-fat diet mice. …”
