The guanylate cyclase-C signaling pathway is down-regulated in inflammatory bowel disease
OBJECTIVE Activation of membrane receptor guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) is implicated in gastrointestinal fluid and electrolyte balance, preservation of intestinal barrier integrity, anti-trophic effects and inhibition of pain sensation. To evaluate GC-C signaling, we examined the regulation of GC-C (GUCY2C/Gucy2c) and its endogenous ligands guanylin (GN/GUCA2A/Guca2a) and uroguanylin (UGN/GUCA2B/...
متن کاملActivation of guanylate cyclase C signaling pathway protects intestinal epithelial cells from acute radiation-induced apoptosis.
Uroguanylin (UGN) is a peptide hormone that binds to and activates the intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) transmembrane receptor guanylate cyclase C (GC-C), which in turn increases intracellular cGMP. Gene targeting of murine UGN or GC-C results in significantly lower levels of cGMP in IECs. On the basis of effects of cGMP in nonintestinal systems, we hypothesized that loss of GC-C activation wou...
متن کاملZebrafish Guanylate Cyclase Type 3 Signaling in Cone Photoreceptors
The zebrafish guanylate cyclase type 3 (zGC3) is specifically expressed in cone cells. A specifc antibody directed against zGC3 revealed expression at the protein level at 3.5 dpf in outer and inner retinal layers, which increased in intensity between 3.5 and 7 dpf. This expression pattern differed from sections of the adult retina showing strong immunostaining in outer segments of double cones...
متن کاملGuanylate Cyclase From Bovine Lung
A kinetic characterization of the regulation of purified soluble guanylate cyclase from bovine lung by protoporphyrin M and hematin is reported. Purified guanylate cyclase was isolated with heme and had specific activities @mol of cGMP/min/mg of protein) of 0.1-0.2 and 0.3-0.6 in the presence of excess MgGTP and MnGTP, respectively, in the absence of added activators. Protoporphyrin IX, nitric ...
متن کاملSea Urchin Sperm Guanylate Cyclase
The Lubrol-dispersed guanylate cyclase from sea urchin sperm was purified and isolated essentially free of detergent by GTP affinity chromatography, DEAE-Sephadex chromatography, and gel filtration. After removal of the detergent, the enzyme remained in solution in the presence of 20% glycerol. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was about 12 pmol of guanosine 3’:5’-monophosphate (cycl...
