Calcium mobilization in myogenesis
Vasopressin (AVP), oxytocin (OT) and related peptides induce differentiation and hypertrophy in myogenic cells expressing the V1a-vasopressin receptor (V1aR) or the oxytocin receptor (OTR). Either receptor can transduce both ligand signals. Binding of AVP and OT to the V1aR the target cells activates phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis, which in turn releases Ca 2+ from internal stores. The AVP-dep...
متن کاملMucus Secretion and Calcium Mobilization in Airway Submucosal Gland Cell
Airway mucus secretion from submucosal gland cells (SMGC) plays an important role in protecting the respiratory system from pathogens and particles. However, mucus hypersecretion is a common pathophysiological characteristic of many chronic inflammatory pulmonary diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and asthma that can lead to airway obstruction and im...
متن کاملCalcium mobilization stimulates Dictyostelium discoideum shear-flow-induced cell motility.
Application of hydrodynamic mild shear stress to adherent Dictyostelium discoideum vegetative cells triggers active actin cytoskeleton remodeling resulting in net cell movement along the flow. The average cell speed is strongly stimulated by external calcium (Ca2+, K50%=22 microM), but the directionality of the movement is almost unaffected. This calcium concentration is ten times higher than t...
متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase uncoupling impairs endothelial progenitor cell mobilization and function in diabetes.
Uncoupling of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) resulting in superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) formation instead of nitric oxide (NO) causes diabetic endothelial dysfunction. eNOS regulates mobilization and function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), key regulators of vascular repair. We postulate a role of eNOS uncoupling for reduced number and function of EPC in diabetes. EPC levels ...
متن کاملMechanically induced calcium mobilization in cultured endothelial cells is dependent on actin and phospholipase.
We sought to evaluate the mechanisms by which mechanical perturbation elevates intracellular calcium in endothelial cells. We report that the transient elevation in intracellular calcium in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) in response to gentle perturbation with the side of a micropipette was not blocked by depolarization (external K+, 130 mmol/L), nifedipine (10 mumol/L), or Bay...
