CGRPα-Expressing Sensory Neurons Respond to Stimuli that Evoke Sensations of Pain and Itch
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRPα, encoded by Calca) is a classic marker of nociceptive dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. Despite years of research, it is unclear what stimuli these neurons detect in vitro or in vivo. To facilitate functional studies of these neurons, we genetically targeted an axonal tracer (farnesylated enhanced green fluorescent protein; GFP) and a LoxP-stopped cell ab...
متن کاملConserved domains in bacterial regulatory proteins that respond to environmental stimuli.
Bacteria respond to fluctuations in the concentrations of various solutes in their environment by modulating the expression of specific sets of genes. In response to changes in medium osmolarity, for example, Escherichia coli cells change the levels of the outer-membrane porin proteins OmpC and OmpF in a reciprocal manner; in response to nitrogen or phosphate limitation, the cells synthesize pr...
متن کاملMonocyte responsiveness to chemotactic stimuli is a property of a subpopulation of cells that can respond to multiple chemoattractants.
The chemotactic migration of leukocytes is preceded by an alteration in the cells' shape from round to a characteristic polar configuration. We have developed an assay that shows that human monocytes, when exposed to chemoattractant in suspension, assume this polarized shape. The three types of chemo-attractants studied, a chemotactic lymphokine, complement-activated serum, and the N-formylated...
متن کاملIdentification of a family of zinc transporter genes from Arabidopsis that respond to zinc deficiency.
Millions of people worldwide suffer from nutritional imbalances of essential metals like zinc. These same metals, along with pollutants like cadmium and lead, contaminate soils at many sites around the world. In addition to posing a threat to human health, these metals can poison plants, livestock, and wildlife. Deciphering how metals are absorbed, transported, and incorporated as protein cofac...
متن کاملIdentification of genes in HepG2 cells that respond to DNA methylation and histone deacetylation inhibitor treatment
Previous studies have demonstrated that epigenetics has an important role in the regulation of gene expression in cancer. Epigenetics is the study of reversible, heritable changes in gene function, which occur independently from changes in the DNA sequence. DNA methylation and histone deacetylation are the two most important epigenetic modifications. DNA methylation was one of the first discove...
