Inhibition of transient receptor potential vanilloid ‐1 confers neuroprotection, reduces tumor necrosis factor‐alpha, and increases IL‐10 in a rat stroke model
In this study, the effects of TRPV1 agonist (capsaicin) and antagonist (AMG9810) on cerebral ischemia were investigated. Forty male Wistar rats were assigned to the following experimental groups: sham, vehicle) ischemic), AMG9810 (selective TRPV1 antagonist, 0.5 mg/kg; 3 h after stroke), and capsaicin (1 mg/kg; 3 h after stroke). Stroke was induced by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion and neurological deficits were evaluated 1, 3, and 7 days after stroke. Then, infarct volume, brain edema, body temperature, mRNA expression of TRPV1, and serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) and IL‐10 w...

Double ‐stranded RNA‐dependent protein kinase signalling and paradigms of cardiometabolic syndrome
Abstract Metabolic syndrome (Met S) is a collection of the most severe cardiometabolic risk factors that encompasses raised fasting plasma glucose, dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance, obesity and hypertension. The precise mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of Met S remains unclear. More often oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis are implicated in its aetiology. Recently, double‐stranded RNA‐dependent protein kinase has been found to intersect at the cross‐road of oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis in several metabolic diseases. Therefore, an effort has been made in the present review to discuss th...

Enhanced transient receptor potential channel ‐mediated Ca2+ influx in the cells with phospholipase C‐δ1 overexpression: its possible role in coronary artery spasm
We reported that coronary spasm was induced in the transgenic mice with the increased phospholipase C (PLC)‐δ1 activity. We investigated the effect of enhanced PLC‐δ1 on Ca2+ influx and its underlying mechanisms. We used human embryonic kidney (HEK)‐293 and coronary arteries smooth muscle cells (CASMC). Intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i; nm) was measured by fura‐2, and Ca2+ influx was evaluated by the increase in [Ca2+]i after addition of extracellular Ca2+. Acetylcholine (ACh) was used to induce Ca2+ influx. ACh‐induced peak Ca2+ influx was 19 ± 3 in control HEK‐293 cells and 71 ± 8 in the cel...

Can drugs induce or aggravate sleep apneas? A case –noncase study in VigiBase®, the WHO pharmacovigilance database
This study investigates drugs associated with SAS in a pharmacovigilance database. SAS recorded as adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in VigiBase®, the WHO pharmacovigilance database (more than 11 million reports), from 1978 to 2015 was selected. The risk of SAS reports was estimated using the case–noncase method, with cases being SAS and noncases all other recorded ADRs. During this 37‐year period, 3325 ADRs including the word SAS were registered (0.05% of the database). Mean age was 51.2 ± 16.9 years with 52% men. ADRs were ‘serious’ in around 82% of cases. The case–noncase study found an association between SAS a...

Effect of bucladesine, Pentoxifylline, and H ‐89 as cyclic adenosine monophosphate analog, phosphodiesterase and protein kinase A inhibitor on acute pain
In conclusion, PTX, H‐89, and Db‐cAMP affect the thermal‐induced pain by probably interacting with intracellular cAMP and cGMP signaling pathways and cyclic nucleotide‐dependent protein kinases.
