Inhibition of p38mapk reduces adipose tissue inflammation in aging mediated by arginase-II

Huang, Ji ; Liu, Chang ; Ming, Xiu-Fen ; Yang, Zhihong

In: Pharmacology, 2020, vol. 105, no. 9–10, p. 491–504

Background: Adipose tissue inflammation occurs not only in obesity but also in aging and is mechanistically linked with age-associated diseases. Studies show that ablation of the l-arginine-metabolizing enzyme arginase-II (Arg-II) reduces adipose tissue inflammation and improves glucose tolerance in obesity. However, the role of Arg-II in aging adipose tissue inflammation is not clear....

Hypoxia enhances endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule 1 protein level through upregulation of arginase type II and mitochondrial oxidative stress

Liang, Xiujie ; Arullampalam, Prakash ; Yang, Zhihong ; Ming, Xiu-Fen

In: Frontiers in Physiology, 2019, vol. 10, p. -

Hypoxia plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Mitochondrial enzyme arginase type II (Arg-II) is reported to lead to endothelial dysfunction and enhance the expression of endothelial inflammatory adhesion molecules such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). In this study, we investigate the role of Arg-II in...

MAGI1 mediates eNOS activation and NO production in endothelial cells in response to fluid shear stress

Ghimire, Kedar ; Zaric, Jelena ; Alday-Parejo, Begoña ; Seebach, Jochen ; Bousquenaud, Mélanie ; Stalin, Jimmy ; Bieler, Grégory ; Schnittler, Hans-Joachim ; Rüegg, Curzio

In: Cells, 2019, vol. 8, no. 5, p. 388

Fluid shear stress stimulates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activation and nitric oxide (NO) production through multiple kinases, including protein kinase A (PKA), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), AKT and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). Membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) with inverted domain structure-1 (MAGI1) is an adaptor protein that...
