Ketamine produces antidepressant effects by inhibiting histone deacetylases and upregulating hippocampal BDNF levels in a DFP-based rat model of Gulf War Illness [Toxicology]

ASPET

We previously showed that epigenetic histone dysregulations were associated with decreased Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) expression in a GWI rat model. GWI has no effective therapies. Ketamine (KET) has recently been approved by the FDA for therapy-resistant depression. mg/kg s.c.,

Evaluation of linagliptin and insulin combined therapy on unfolded protein response in type 1 diabetic mouse heart

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Linagliptin administered to the type 1 diabetic mouse heart significantly reduced the expression levels of the total and cleaved forms of ATF6, ATF4, and p-JNK, caspase 3. According to ELISA findings, TUDCA was more effective in reducing NOX 1 and MDA levels than linagliptin.

Caffeic acid?grafted chitooligosaccharides downregulate MAPK and NF?kB in RAW264.7 cells

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

In addition, western blot analysis showed that CA-COS inhibits the protein expression of iNOS and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), including p50 and p65, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways.

Scientific workflow for hypothesis testing in drug discovery: Part 2 of 3

Drug Target Review

For instance, a dataset generated to study protein expression in one context might also reveal valuable information about other biological pathways or processes. Additionally, exploratory analyses can be valuable for identifying new biological markers or hypotheses.

The Future of Drug Discovery: Tackling the Undruggable with New Biotechnologies

DrugBank

For example, PROTACs targeting STAT3, a protein crucial for tumor growth, have shown promise where conventional therapies have failed. Similarly, PROTACs can target and degrade overexpressed proteins, offering a way to overcome drug resistance, a common issue in cancer treatment.
