A-kinase-anchoring proteins coordinate inflammatory responses to cigarette smoke in airway smooth muscle.
β2-Agonist inhibitors can relieve chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms by stimulating cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling. A-kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs) compartmentalize cAMP signaling by establishing protein complexes. We previously reported that the β2-agonist fenoterol, direct activation of protein kinase A (PKA), and exchange factor directly activated by cAMP decrease cigaret...
متن کاملOrganizing signal transduction through A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs).
A fundamental role for protein-protein interactions in the organization of signal transduction pathways is evident. Anchoring, scaffolding and adapter proteins function to enhance the precision and directionality of these signaling events by bringing enzymes together. The cAMP signaling pathway is organized by A-kinase anchoring proteins. This family of proteins assembles enzyme complexes conta...
متن کاملRole of a-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) in reproduction.
Rapid spatio-temporal organized intracellular signaling is a pivotal mechanism for regulation of functions in many cells, in particular in the female and male gametes, in which functional regulation through rapid increases in protein content is not possible since the mechanisms of transcription/translation are somehow frozen due to meiosis block or DNA condensation respectively. A kinase-anchor...
متن کاملMatrix stiffness-modulated proliferation and secretory function of the airway smooth muscle cells.
Multiple pulmonary conditions are characterized by an abnormal misbalance between various tissue components, for example, an increase in the fibrous connective tissue and loss/increase in extracellular matrix proteins (ECM). Such tissue remodeling may adversely impact physiological function of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) responsible for contraction of airways and release of a variety of ...
متن کاملAirway smooth muscle relaxation.
Bronchodilators are important agents in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive airways disease. Beta agonists, theophyllines, and antimuscarinic agents are the main drugs in current use, but others are under investigation. Although other actions may be important, these drugs produce bronchodilation either by a direct effect on airway smooth muscle or by inhibiting neural pathways. As o...
