Cellular signalling: Stressing the importance of PIP3
The lipid second messenger PIP3 was previously thought to be generated exclusively by type I PI 3-kinases. Now, a novel route of PIP3 synthesis, controlled by an unrelated enzyme family, has been discovered, increasing our understanding of the versatility of PIP3 in cellular signalling.
متن کاملAmplification of PIP3 signalling by macropinocytic cups
In a role distinct from and perhaps more ancient than that in signal transduction, PIP3 and Ras help to spatially organize the actin cytoskeleton into macropinocytic cups. These large endocytic structures are extended by actin polymerization from the cell surface and have at their core an intense patch of active Ras and PIP3, around which actin polymerizes, creating cup-shaped projections. We h...
متن کاملEditorial: stressing the importance of sex.
Neuroendocrine responses to stress, particularly those mediated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis, can differ significantly between males and females in many species. In laboratory rats and mice, for example, basal and stress-induced hormone secretions in the HPA axis are generally higher in females than in males in a variety of experimental situations (1, 2). Female roden...
متن کاملStressing the Importance of CHOP in Liver Cancer
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer death and the fifth most common solid tumor worldwide [1,2]. Liver tumorigenesis is a multistep process in which external stimuli such as chronic inflammation or cirrhosis lead to the development of clonal populations of dysplastic hepatocytes that accumulate genetic changes and evolve into malignant foci [2]. Among the most co...
متن کاملStressing the Importance of Cardiac Assessment in Pheochromocytoma.
SEE PAGE 2364 T he complexities of catecholamine physiology have intrigued physicians and the public alike for centuries. Epinephrine was isolated in 1897 by John Jacob Abel (1), and in parallel in 1901 by the Japanese scientist Jokichi Takamine (2), who called it adrenaline. Quickly the positive inotropic and chronotropic effects of catecholamines were appreciated and exploited, but by the sec...
