Glomus cells of the carotid body are peripheral chemoreceptors that detect changes in arterial oxygen levels. Hypoxia suppresses oxygen-sensitive K+ channels in glomus cells, resulting in cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) elevation in glomus cells via the activation of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. The...

Revisiting the antifibrinolytic effect of carboxypeptidase N: novel structure and regulation
DownloadFall 2010
Carboxypeptidase N (CPN) is a plasma carboxypeptidase that was discovered in the 1960s as a regulator of inflammation and vascular tone. Through the removal of carboxy-terminal basic residues, CPN alters the activity or binding specificity of inflammatory mediators and vasoactive peptides. CPN...

Role of Cytochrome P450 1B1 in Inflammation-induced Cardiac Hypertrophy
2023-05-17
ElKhatib, Mohammed, El-Kadi, Ayman
A great deal of research has demonstrated the involvement of cytochrome P450 (CYPs) enzymes and its metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) in the modulation of cardiac hypertrophy (CH) pathogenesis. Multiple studies demonstrated that inflammation is a major contributor to CH and is known to...

12,13-dihydroxy-9z-octadecenoic acid (12,13-DiHOME) is a linoleic acid-derived cardiac metabolite produced in endotoxin-induced cardiomyopathy, correlating with myocardial dysfunction, inflammation, and mitochondrial damage. The contribution of 12,13-DiHOME to inflammation in the heart is...

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains live as commensals in the digestive tract of the host, but they can also initiate urinary tract infections. The aim of this work was to determine how a host detects the presence of a new UPEC strain in the digestive tract. Mice were orally challenged...
