A neuronal C5a receptor and an associated apoptotic signal transduction pathway.
1. We report the first experimental evidence of a neuronal C5a receptor (nC5aR) in human cells of neuronal origin. Expression of nC5aR mRNA was demonstrated by the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in TGW human neuroblastoma cells. 2. Expression of a functional C5aR was supported by the finding that C5a evoked a transient increase in the intracellular calcium level as mea...
متن کاملNeuronal Development and Signal Transduction
Neuronal differentiation is a complex neurobiological phenomenon that includes a series of events that are developmentally regulated. The first step in differentiation is a block of proliferation, leading from a round, cycling neuroblast to a flat quiescent neuron. This is followed by the process of extension of neurites, that represents the starting point for the morphological and functional p...
متن کاملA RIP Tide in Neuronal Signal Transduction
The generation of nuclear signaling proteins by regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) is a new paradigm of signal transduction. Mammalian proteins that are processed by RIP include SREBP-1, Notch-1, amyloid precursor protein (APP), and ErbB-4. Intramembranous gamma-secretase cleavage of APP plays a central role in Alzheimer's disease by generating the amyloid beta protein. An intriguing pos...
متن کاملATP-dependent steps in apoptotic signal transduction.
Apoptotic changes of the nucleus induced by Fas (Apo1/CD95) stimulation are completely blocked by reducing intracellular ATP level. In this study, we examined the ATP-dependent step(s) of Fas-mediated apoptotic signal transduction using two cell lines. In SKW6.4 (type I) cells characterized by rapid formation of the death-inducing signaling complex on Fas treatment, the activation of caspases 8...
متن کاملIdentification of an alternative Gαq-dependent chemokine receptor signal transduction pathway in dendritic cells and granulocytes
CD38 controls the chemotaxis of leukocytes to some, but not all, chemokines, suggesting that chemokine receptor signaling in leukocytes is more diverse than previously appreciated. To determine the basis for this signaling heterogeneity, we examined the chemokine receptors that signal in a CD38-dependent manner and identified a novel "alternative" chemokine receptor signaling pathway. Similar t...
