question:
Context: Cilostazol, a potent type 3 phosphodiesterase inhibitor, is found to reduce neointimal formation by inhibiting vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the inhibitory effect of cilostazol on VSMC proliferation is operated via heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1).', 'In rat carotid arteries, cilostazol up-regulated HO-1 in the neointima of balloon-injured arteries. Treatment of human VSMCs with cilostazol enhanced the expression of HO-1, which was mainly regulated at the transcriptional level. Small interfering RNA knock-down of HO-1 attenuated the inhibitory effect of cilostazol on VSMC proliferation, suggesting the critical role of HO-1 in cilostazol effect. The transcriptional responsiveness of HO-1 to cilostazol was inversely correlated with the length of GT-repeat in human HO-1 promoter. Deletion and mutational analysis of HO-1 promoter along with chromatin immunoprecipitation showed that cyclic AMP response element (CRE)-binding protein (CREB) participated in cilostazol-induced HO-1 transcription. Furthermore, cilostazol triggered a linkage between the CRE and GT-repeat regions in the HO-1 promoter. The promoting effect of cilostazol on HO-1 expression, proliferation inhibition, and chromatin conformation in the HO-1 promoter was greater in VSMCs from subjects with shorter GT-repeat alleles than those with longer alleles.
Answer: Cilostazol inhibits VSMC proliferation involving an association between CREB and HO-1. The length polymorphism of GT-repeat in human HO-1 promoter determines the effect of cilostazol.
answer:
Does gT-repeat length polymorphism in heme oxygenase-1 promoter determine the effect of cilostazol on vascular smooth muscle cells?

question:
Context: To analyze the effect of antiretroviral therapy, including drugs that have good penetration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), on neuropsychologic performance.', 'One hundred sixty-five HIV-1-infected patients exposed to a stable highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimen were studied. Neuropsychologic examinations were performed for all patients.', "A total of 50.3% of patients were impaired. In multivariate analysis, older age (for 10-year increase, odds ratio [OR] = 4.8, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.2 to 10.4; P< 0.0001) and higher plasma HIV-1 RNA levels (OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.1 to 3.2; P = 0.021) at testing were independently associated with an increased probability of impaired neurocognitive performance, whereas higher educational level was a protective factor (OR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.65 to 0.90; P=0.001). A significant linear correlation was observed between the neuropsychologic z score for 8 tests (NPZ8) score, a quantitative parameter of neurocognitive impairment, and CD4 cell count at neuropsychologic testing (R = 0.273, P = 0.001) and between the NPZ8 score and the patient's age (R = 0.288, P = 0.001).
Answer: Our study indicates that the use of stable HAART, including multiple drugs that have good CSF penetration, was not associated with neuropsychologic performance. To prevent independent replication of HIV in CSF with better control of a relevant reservoir of HIV is one of the crucial aims of therapeutic strategy.
answer:
Do neuroactive antiretroviral drugs influence neurocognitive performance in less advanced HIV-infected patients responding to highly active antiretroviral therapy?

question:
Context: Eph receptors, comprising the A- and B-subfamilies, are the largest family of receptor tyrosine kinases in the mammalian genome, and their function is critical for morphogenesis in a variety of contexts. Whereas signaling through B-type Ephs has been demonstrated to play a role in cleft lip and palate (CL/P), the involvement of A-type Ephs has not been examined in this context notwithstanding a recent genome-wide association study that identified the EPHA3 locus as a candidate for non-syndromic CL/P.', 'Here, we present a systematic analysis of the gene expression patterns for the nine EphA receptors at progressive stages of mouse development and find that EphA3, EphA4, and EphA7 exhibit restricted overlapping patterns of expression during palate development. We find that homozygous mutation of EphA3 or compound homozygous mutation of EphA3 and EphA4 in mice does not result in defective midfacial development, supporting the possibility of redundant function with EphA7. We also document previously undescribed expression patterns in other tissues of the craniofacial complex including the lacrimal duct and salivary glands.
Answer: Together, these results are consistent with the hypothesis that mutations in EPHA family genes may cause CL/P and also suggest that functional redundancy between family members may be at play.
answer:
Does embryonic expression of EphA receptor genes in mice support their candidacy for involvement in cleft lip and palate?
