Calcium regulation of T cell metabolism

Regulation of Bone Metabolism

Bone is formed through the processes of endochondral and intramembranous ossification. In endochondral ossification primary mesenchymal cells differentiate to chondrocytes and then are progressively substituted by bone, while in intramembranous ossification mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate directly into osteoblasts to form bone. The steps of osteogenic proliferation, differentiation,...

Modulation of T Cell Metabolism and Function through Calcium Signaling

As a vital second messenger in the activation of lymphocytes, the divalent cation Ca(2+) plays numerous roles in adaptive immune responses. Importantly, Ca(2+) signaling is essential for T cell activation, tolerance of self-antigens, and homeostasis. Supporting the essential role of Ca(2+) signaling in T cell biology, the Ca(2+) regulated protein phosphatase calcineurin is a key target of pharm...

Regulation of T lymphocyte metabolism.

Upon stimulation, lymphocytes develop from small resting cells into highly proliferative and secretory cells. Although a great deal of study has focused on the genetic program induced by Ag receptor signals, lymphocytes must also regulate their metabolic function to meet the energetic demands of activation. In this review, we discuss the changes in cellular metabolism that accompany lymphocyte ...
