Activity-dependent NFATc3 nuclear accumulation in pericytes from cortical parenchymal microvessels.
The calcium-dependent transcription factor NFATc3, which is a member of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) family of transcription factors, is critical for embryonic vascular development and differentiation. Despite its potential importance, nothing is known about NFATc3 regulation in the brain microcirculation. In the present study, we sought to investigate the role that glutamate,...
متن کاملConstitutively Elevated Nuclear Export Activity Opposes Ca -dependent NFATc3 Nuclear Accumulation in Vascular Smooth Muscle
The transcription factor NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T-cells) is a cytosolic phosphoprotein that accumulates in the nucleus following dephosphorylation by the calcium (Ca )/calmodulin-dependent phosphatase, calcineurin. A defining feature of stimuli that induce NFAT nuclear accumulation/activation is a sustained increase in global intracellular Ca . Contrary to expectations, we have found...
متن کاملChronic morphine exposure potentiates p-glycoprotein trafficking from nuclear reservoirs in cortical rat brain microvessels
The rates of opioid prescription and use have continued to increase over the last few decades resulting in a greater number of opioid tolerant patients. Treatment of acute pain from surgery and injury is a clinical challenge for these patients. Several pain management strategies including prescribing increased opioids are used clinically with limited success; all currently available strategies ...
متن کاملActivity- and calcineurin-independent nuclear shuttling of NFATc1, but not NFATc3, in adult skeletal muscle fibers.
The transcription factor NFATc1 may be involved in slow skeletal muscle gene expression. NFATc1 translocates from cytoplasm to nuclei during slow fiber type electrical stimulation of skeletal muscle fibers because of activation of the Ca(2+)-dependent phosphatase calcineurin, resulting in nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) dephosphorylation and consequent exposure of its nuclear localiz...
متن کاملNFATC3 promotes IRF7 transcriptional activity in plasmacytoid dendritic cells
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) rapidly produce large amounts of type 1 interferon (IFN) after Toll-like receptor 7 and 9 engagements. This specialized function of type 1 IFN production is directly linked to the constitutive expression of IRF7, the master transcription factor for type 1 IFN production. However, the IRF7 regulatory network in pDCs remains largely unknown. In this study, we i...
