Echinacea-induced cytosolic Ca2+ elevation in HEK293
BACKGROUND With a traditional medical use for treatment of various ailments, herbal preparations of Echinacea are now popularly used to improve immune responses. One likely mode of action is that alkamides from Echinacea bind to cannabinoid type 2 (CB2) receptors and induce a transient increase in intracellular Ca2+. Here, we show that unidentified compounds from Echinacea purpurea induce cytos...
متن کاملTitle: Echinacea-induced Cytosolic Ca2+ Elevation in Hek293
Background -The first sentence is too generic and not strickly linked to the aim of the paper. We have removed the first sentence in the abstract as suggested. -In the last sentence the term “hypothesize” is not correct, but it must be changed with “show” or another similar. We have changed the term “hypothesize” to “show”. -Line 11: change “specialized” with a more appropriate adjective (here ...
متن کاملIncrease in cytosolic Ca2+ induced by elevation of extracellular Ca2+ in skeletal myogenic cells.
Cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) variation is a key event in myoblast differentiation, but the mechanism by which it occurs is still debated. Here we show that increases of extracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](o)) produced membrane hyperpolarization and a concentration-dependent increase of [Ca(2+)](i) due to Ca(2+) influx across the plasma membrane. Responses were not rel...
متن کاملHormone-induced rise in cytosolic Ca2+ in axolotl hepatocytes: properties of the Ca2+ influx channel.
Calcium entry in nonexcitable cells occurs through Ca2+-selective channels activated secondarily to store depletion and/or through receptor- or second messenger-operated channels. In amphibian liver, hormones that stimulate the production of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) also regulate the opening of an ion gate in the plasma membrane, which allows a noncapacitative inflow of Ca2+....
متن کاملInositol tetrakisphosphate isomers and elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ in vasopressin-stimulated insulin-secreting RINm5F cells.
Signal generation during the stimulation of insulin secretion by arginine vasopressin (AVP) was investigated in RINm5F cells. AVP (0.1 microM) caused a biphasic cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) rise, namely a rapid transient marked elevation after stimulation followed by a series of oscillations. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, the sustained oscillations were abolished, while the initial [Ca2+]i ...
