Lymphocyte aggregation in response to adrenergic stimulation.
A nonanemic chronic lymphocytic leukemia patient with nearly 500,000 lymphocytes/microL underwent leukapheresis when she presented with CNS symptoms and retinal vascular engorgement. Respiratory distress developed during the cell separator run, which led us to ask whether the procedure could have changed the adhesive properties of her cells. C5a desarginine, N-f-Met-Leu-Phe, adenosine diphospha...
متن کاملNO-dependent CaMKII activation during β-adrenergic stimulation of cardiac muscle.
AIMS During β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) stimulation, phosphorylation of cardiomyocyte ryanodine receptors by protein kinases may contribute to an increased diastolic Ca(2+) spark frequency. Regardless of prompt activation of protein kinase A during β-AR stimulation, this appears to rely more on activation of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), by a not yet identified signal...
متن کاملActivity-Dependent β-Adrenergic Modulation of Low Frequency Stimulation Induced LTP in the Hippocampal CA1 Region
beta-Adrenergic receptor activation has a central role in the enhancement of memory formation that occurs during heightened states of emotional arousal. Although beta-adrenergic receptor activation may enhance memory formation by modulating long-term potentiation (LTP), a candidate synaptic mechanism involved in memory formation, the cellular basis of this modulation is not fully understood. He...
متن کاملβ-Adrenergic receptor stimulation causes cardiac hypertrophy via a Gβγ/Erk-dependent pathway.
AIMS Activation of the β(1)-adrenergic receptor and its G protein, G(s), induces cardiac hypertrophy. However, activation of classic Gα(s) effectors, adenylyl cyclases (AC) and protein kinase A, is not sufficient for induction of hypertrophy, which suggests the involvement of additional pathway(s) activated by G(s). Recently, we discovered that βγ subunits of G(q) induce phosphorylation of the ...
متن کاملβ-Arrestin–dependent activation of Ca2+/calmodulin kinase II after β1–adrenergic receptor stimulation
Ca(2+)/calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) plays an important role in cardiac contractility and the development of heart failure. Although stimulation of beta(1)-adrenergic receptors (ARs) leads to an increase in CaMKII activity, the molecular mechanism by which beta(1)-ARs activate CaMKII is not completely understood. In this study, we show the requirement for the beta(1)-AR regulatory protein beta-...
