beta-arrestin-1 competitively inhibits insulin-induced ubiquitination and degradation of insulin receptor substrate 1.
(Mol Cell Biol, 2004-10)
beta-arrestin-1 is an adaptor protein that mediates agonist-dependent internalization
and desensitization of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and also participates in
the process of heterologous desensitization between ...
β-Arrestin-2 regulates the development of allergic asthma
(Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2003-08-01)
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that is coordinated by Th2
cells in both human asthmatics and animal models of allergic asthma. Migration of
Th2 cells to the lung is key to their inflammatory function ...
Anti–β1-adrenergic receptor antibodies and heart failure: causation, not just correlation
(Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2004-05-15)
Intracoronary adenovirus-mediated delivery and overexpression of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor in the heart : prospects for molecular ventricular assistance.
(Circulation, 2000-02-01)
BACKGROUND: Genetic modulation of ventricular function may offer a novel therapeutic
strategy for patients with congestive heart failure. Myocardial overexpression of
beta(2)-adrenergic receptors (beta(2)ARs) has been shown ...
Gene expression signatures of radiation response are specific, durable and accurate in mice and humans.
(PLoS One, 2008-04-02)
BACKGROUND: Previous work has demonstrated the potential for peripheral blood (PB)
gene expression profiling for the detection of disease or environmental exposures.
METHODS AND FINDINGS: We have sought to determine the ...
Enhanced rewarding properties of morphine, but not cocaine, in beta(arrestin)-2 knock-out mice.
(J Neurosci, 2003-11-12)
The reinforcing and psychomotor effects of morphine involve opiate stimulation of
the dopaminergic system via activation of mu-opioid receptors (muOR). Both mu-opioid
and dopamine receptors are members of the G-protein-coupled ...
Meningococcemia in a patient coinfected with hepatitis C virus and HIV.
(Emerg Infect Dis, 2000-11)
We describe the first reported case of meningococcemia in a patient coinfected with
hepatitis C virus and HIV. Hypocomplementemia secondary to hepatic dysfunction may
have enhanced the patient's susceptibility to meningococcal ...
Differential mechanisms of morphine antinociceptive tolerance revealed in (beta)arrestin-2 knock-out mice.
(J Neurosci, 2002-12-01)
Morphine induces antinociception by activating mu opioid receptors (muORs) in spinal
and supraspinal regions of the CNS. (Beta)arrestin-2 (beta)arr2), a G-protein-coupled
receptor-regulating protein, regulates the muOR in ...
Construct and differential item functioning in the assessment of prescription opioid use disorders among American adolescents.
(Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2009-05)
OBJECTIVE:To examine the psychometric properties of diagnostic criteria for prescription
analgesic opioid use disorders (OUDs) and to identify background predictors of a latent
continuum for OUD liability. METHOD:Data were ...
Physical function and associations with diet and exercise: Results of a cross-sectional survey among elders with breast or prostate cancer.
(Int J Behav Nutr Phys Act, 2004-10-29)
BACKGROUND: Functional decline threatens independent living and is common among individuals
diagnosed with cancer, especially those who are elderly. The purpose of this study
was to explore whether dietary and exercise practices ...
