Licero Campbell J, Serrano-Illan M, Descorbeth M, Cordero K, Figueroa J, De Leon M
J Neurotrauma . 2022 Mar; 39(15-16):1099-1112. PMID: 35297679
The inflammatory response associated with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) contributes to locomotor and sensory impairments. Pro-inflammatory (M1) macrophages/microglia (MϕMG) are the major cellular players in this response as they...

Descorbeth M, Figueroa K, Serrano-Illan M, De Leon M
Brain Behav . 2018 Sep; 8(11):e01123. PMID: 30264903
Background And Aim: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) exhibits neuroprotective properties and has been shown to preserve nerve cells following trauma and ischemic injury. Recently, we showed that DHA pretreatment improved locomotion...

Padilla A, Descorbeth M, Almeyda A, Payne K, De Leon M
Brain Res . 2010 Nov; 1370:64-79. PMID: 21108938
Lipid overload resulting in lipotoxicity is prominent in a number of chronic diseases and has been associated with cellular dysfunction and cell death. This study characterizes palmitic acid-induced lipotoxicity (PA-LTx)...

Descorbeth M, Anand-Srivastava M
Free Radic Biol Med . 2010 Aug; 49(9):1395-405. PMID: 20691780
We have recently shown that aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and A10 VSMCs exposed to high glucose exhibited increased levels of Gqα and PLCβ...

Descorbeth M, Anand-Srivastava M
Can J Physiol Pharmacol . 2010 Apr; 88(3):331-40. PMID: 20393598
We have recently shown that A10 vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) exposed to high glucose exhibited enhanced expression of G(alpha)q and PLCbeta proteins. Since high glucose has been reported to...

Descorbeth M, Anand-Srivastava M
J Mol Cell Cardiol . 2009 Dec; 49(2):221-33. PMID: 20036247
We have recently shown that high glucose increased the expression of Gq/11alpha, PLCbeta and mediated signaling in A10 vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Since high glucose has been shown to...

Descorbeth M, Anand-Srivastava M
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol . 2008 Sep; 295(5):H2135-42. PMID: 18820027
The levels and activity of protein kinase C and diacylglycerol were shown to be upregulated in diabetes/hyperglycemia; however, studies on the expression of upstream signaling molecules of phosphatidylinositol turnover were...

Li Y, Descorbeth M, Anand-Srivastava M
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol . 2008 Apr; 294(6):H2845-54. PMID: 18441196
We have recently shown that aorta from streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and A10 vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) exposed to high glucose exhibited decreased levels of inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory...

Jacques D, Descorbeth M, Abdel-Samad D, Provost C, Perreault C, Jules F
Peptides . 2005 Jul; 26(8):1427-35. PMID: 16042982
Evidence suggests that endocardial endothelial cells (EECs) may play a role in the regulation of cardiac function by releasing ET-1. Furthermore, reports in the literature suggested that differences may exist...

Jacques D, Sader S, Perreault C, Fournier A, Pelletier G, Beck-Sickinger A, et al.
Can J Physiol Pharmacol . 2003 May; 81(3):288-300. PMID: 12733827
The aims of the present study were to investigate the presence and distribution of NPY and the Y1 receptor in endocardial endothelial cells (EECs), to verify if EECs can release...
