Down regulation of protein kinase C in neuronal cells: effects on neurotransmitter release.
We investigated the effects of phorbol esters on protein kinase C (PKC) activity and on neurotransmitter release from cultured neuronal cells. Both differentiated and undifferentiated PC12 pheochromocytoma cells contained high levels of protein PKC. Under normal conditions all the enzyme activity was found in the cytoplasm. Addition of the phorbol esters phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (TPA) or...
متن کاملEffects of Crocin Down-Regulation on Enzymatic Antioxidant Profile in C2C12 Cells
such as the process of cellular respiration, which is scavenged by enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems. Intake of antioxidants from food sources has always been considered in nutrition research. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate antioxidant effects of crocin on the expression profile of genes involved in the enzymatic antioxidant systems in muscle cells. Ma...
متن کاملImmunophilin regulation of neurotransmitter release.
BACKGROUND The immunophilins are proteins that mediate actions of immunosuppressant drugs such as FK506 and cyclosporin A by binding to calcineurin, inhibiting its phosphatase activity, and increasing the phosphorylation level of transcription factors required for interleukin 2 formation. Though concentrations in the brain greatly exceed levels in immune tissues, no function has been previously...
متن کاملEffect of halothane on conventional protein kinase C translocation and down-regulation in rat cerebrocortical synaptosomes.
Protein kinase C (PKC) is a key regulatory enzyme that has been implicated as a molecular target for the action of general anaesthetics. We have determined the effects of halothane on the translocation and down-regulation of conventional PKC (cPKC) by analysing the subcellular distribution of PKC activity, [3H]phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate ([3H]PDBu) binding and PKC immunoreactivity in intact rat ce...
متن کاملThe dependence of neuronal encoding efficiency on Hebbian plasticity and homeostatic regulation of neurotransmitter release
Synapses act as information filters by different molecular mechanisms including retrograde messenger that affect neuronal spiking activity. One of the well-known effects of retrograde messenger in presynaptic neurons is a change of the probability of neurotransmitter release. Hebbian learning describe a strengthening of a synapse between a presynaptic input onto a postsynaptic neuron when both ...
