Endothelin- and oxytocin-induced calcium signaling in cultured human myometrial cells.
The demonstration that endothelin (ET) induces rat uterine contraction, coupled with the observation that ET is present in human amniotic fluid, suggests that the myometrium may be an important target organ for this hormone. We show that in quiescent human myometrial cells ET produced a dose-dependent increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ (Cai2+), which was markedly attenuated when the cells were stu...
متن کاملOxytocin-Stimulated NFAT Transcriptional Activation in Human Myometrial Cells
Oxytocin (OXT) is a peptide hormone that binds the OXT receptor on myometrial cells, initiating an intracellular signaling cascade, resulting in accumulation of intracellular calcium and smooth muscle contraction. In other systems, an elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) stimulates nuclear translocation of the transcription factor, nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), which is transcription...
متن کاملGardenia jasminoides extracts and gallic acid inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation by suppression of JNK2/1 signaling pathways in BV-2 cells
Objective(s): Gardenia jasminoides Ellis (GJ, Cape Jasmine Fruit, Zhi Zi) has been traditionally used for the treatment of infectious hepatitis, aphthous ulcer, and trauma; however, the direct evidence is lacking. Materials and Methods:We investigated the effect of the GJ extract(GJ) and gallic acid (GA) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced inflammation of BV-2 microglial cells and acute liver ...
متن کاملPROTEIN PROFILING OF Bryophyllum Pinnatum (LAM.) KURZ. LEAF
Objective: Bryophyllum pinnatum (Lam.) Kurz. is a medicinal herb commonly used to treat ulcers, cough, diabetes and cancer. In this study, phosphate extraction buffer (pH) was used to extract proteins from the leaves of Bryophyllum pinnatum. Method: On sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) separation, the results showed that most of the extracted proteins migrated...
متن کاملSleep Quality Improves During Treatment With Bryophyllum pinnatum
Hypothesis. Cancer patients frequently suffer from poor sleep quality. Bryophyllum pinnatum is a herbal medication used in anthroposophic medicine, which has been shown to be associated with improvements in sleep quality during pregnancy with only few and minor or moderate side-effects reported. In this study, the sleep quality of cancer patients during treatment with B pinnatum was investigate...
