Fast, Slow, or Not at All: The Extracellular Matrix Controls Movement of Signaling Molecules
From elementary school biology on up, almost every diagram of every cell includes a sharp line dividing inside—a hive of wellordered biochemical activity—from outside, usually depicted as a void, with perhaps the occasional signaling molecule drifting randomly and alone toward the plasma membrane. But it just isn’t so. The extracellular matrix is extensive, complex, and vital to both the struct...
متن کاملGap junction modulation by extracellular signaling molecules: the thymus model.
Gap junctions are intercellular channels which connect adjacent cells and allow direct exchange of molecules of low molecular weight between them. Such a communication has been described as fundamental in many systems due to its importance in coordination, proliferation and differentiation. Recently, it has been shown that gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) can be modulated by se...
متن کاملDegradation of Extracellular Matrix Molecules in Interleukin-1 Alpha Treated Bovine Nasal Cartilage
Background: This work aimed to show and compare the degradation time of some of cartilage extracellular matrix components using an in vitro model for cartilage degradation induced by interleukin-1 alpha. It is known that elucidation of molecular events under Interleukin-1 alpha induction of bovine nasal cartilage could obtain useful data to understand more about involving mechanisms for tissue ...
متن کاملEffects of Gelling Agent and Extracellular Signaling Molecules on the Culturability of Marine Bacteria.
Only 1% of marine bacteria are currently culturable using standard laboratory procedures, and this is a major obstacle for our understanding of the biology of marine microorganisms and for the discovery of novel microbial natural products. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate if improved cultivation conditions, including the use of an alternative gelling agent and supplementa...
متن کاملUDP-Sugars as Extracellular Signaling Molecules: Cellular and Physiologic Consequences of P2Y14 Receptor Activation.
UDP-sugars, which are indispensable for protein glycosylation reactions in cellular secretory pathways, also act as important extracellular signaling molecules. We discuss here the broadly expressed P2Y14 receptor, a G-protein-coupled receptor targeted by UDP sugars, and the increasingly diverse set of physiologic responses discovered recently functioning downstream of this receptor in many epi...
