Lysolecithin induces demyelination in an in vitro organotypic cerebellar slice culture system, providing a model system for studying myelination, demyelin basic protein, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, and MOG in vitro.

The results taken together suggest that lysophospholipid receptor activation involves receptor coupling to heterotrimeric Gq subunits with consequent activation of PLC, PKC, and MAPK pathways leading to ERK phosphorylation.

Evidence is presented that 7β, 27-dihydroxycholesterol and 7α,27-OHC are RORγt agonist ligands and may serve as potential endogenous R ORγt ligands in promoting the differentiation of mouse and human CD4+ Th17 cells, and it is shown that Th17, but not Th1 cells, preferentially produce these two oxysterols.

The results indicate that stably expressed alpha3beta2 and alpha4beta2 human nAChRs are pharmacologically and functionally distinct and that A3B2 cells are less sensitive to ACh than A4B2.2 cells.
Inhibition of Nitric Oxide Synthase Blocks N‐Methyl‐D‐Aspartate‐, Quisqualate‐, Kainate‐, Harmaline‐, and Pentylenetetrazole‐Dependent Increases in Cerebellar Cyclic GMP In Vivo

The first in vivo demonstration that nitric oxide is an important “messenger molecule” in the cerebellum, mediating the actions of kainate, quisqualate, and N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor agonists on guanylate cyclase is demonstrated.
KD5170, a novel mercaptoketone-based histone deacetylase inhibitor that exhibits broad spectrum antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo
The biological and pharmaceutical profile of KD5170 supports its continued preclinical and clinical development as a broad spectrum anticancer agent and shows significant antiproliferative activity against a variety of human tumor cell lines, including the NCI-60 panel.
