Apical epidermal growth factor receptor signaling: regulation of stretch-dependent exocytosis in bladder umbrella cells.
The apical surface of polarized epithelial cells receives input from mediators, growth factors, and mechanical stimuli. How these stimuli are coordinated to regulate complex cellular functions such as polarized membrane traffic is not understood. We analyzed the requirement for growth factor signaling and mechanical stimuli in umbrella cells, which line the mucosal surface of the bladder and dy...
متن کاملDistinct apical and basolateral membrane requirements for stretch-induced membrane traffic at the apical surface of bladder umbrella cells.
Epithelial cells respond to mechanical stimuli by increasing exocytosis, endocytosis, and ion transport, but how these processes are initiated and coordinated and the mechanotransduction pathways involved are not well understood. We observed that in response to a dynamic mechanical environment, increased apical membrane tension, but not pressure, stimulated apical membrane exocytosis and ion tr...
متن کاملRab11a-dependent exocytosis of discoidal/fusiform vesicles in bladder umbrella cells.
The discoidal/fusiform vesicles (DFV) of bladder umbrella cells undergo regulated exocytosis in response to stretch, but little is known about their biogenesis or the molecular machinery that modulates this process. We observed that Rab11a was expressed in umbrella cells (but not Rab11b or Rab25) and was associated with DFV. Using adenovirus-mediated delivery we transduced umbrella cells in sit...
متن کاملAre the estrogens an effective umbrella against bacterial bladder invasion?
This is a well design study which showed effectiveness of the topical estrogen on prevention of asymp-tomatic bacteriuria (AB) in post–menopausal women with stable Type II diabetes. Vaginal microecology is of special interest since rarely it is taken into account in this kind of study. AB is a very complex issue with different characteristics and sometimes conflicting results. There are several...
متن کاملATP and purinergic receptor-dependent membrane traffic in bladder umbrella cells.
The umbrella cells that line the bladder are mechanosensitive, and bladder filling increases the apical surface area of these cells; however, the upstream signals that regulate this process are unknown. Increased pressure stimulated ATP release from the isolated uroepithelium of rabbit bladders, which was blocked by inhibitors of vesicular transport, connexin hemichannels, ABC protein family me...
