Hypoxia inhibits amino acid uptake in human lung fibroblasts.
Hypoxia and amino acid deprivation downregulate expression of extracellular matrix genes in lung fibroblasts. We examined the effect of hypoxia on amino acid uptake and protein formation in human lung fibroblasts. Low O(2) tension (0% O(2)) suppressed incorporation of [(3)H]proline into type I collagen without affecting [(35)S]methionine labeling of other proteins. Initial decreases in intracel...
متن کاملThe effect of retinoic acid on amino acid uptake and protein synthesis by lung fibroblasts.
The effect of retinoic acid (RA) on the uptake and utilization of extracellular amino acids by fetal lung fibroblasts was examined. RA decreased the incorporation of [3H]proline into collagen and other proteins. The effect was maximal at a RA concentration of 10(-5) M; smaller decreases were observed at a RA concentration of 10(-6) M. This decrease in collagen formation was associated with a la...
متن کاملAmino acid uptake in rust fungi
The plant pathogenic rust fungi colonize leaf tissue and feed off their host plants without killing them. Certain economically important species of different genera such as Melampsora, Phakopsora, Puccinia, or Uromyces are extensively studied for resolving the mechanisms of the obligate biotrophy. As obligate parasites rust fungi only can complete their life cycle on living hosts where they gro...
متن کاملAmino Acid Uptake in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Plants
We examined the extent to which arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi root improved the acquisition of simple organic nitrogen (ON) compounds by their host plants. In a greenhouse-based study, we used quantum dots (fluorescent nanoparticles) to assess uptake of each of the 20 proteinaceous amino acids by AM-colonized versus uncolonized plants. We found that AM colonization increased uptake of pheny...
متن کاملACE2 overexpression inhibits hypoxia-induced collagen production by cardiac fibroblasts.
Cardiac remodelling is a key risk factor for the development of heart failure in the chronic phase following myocardial infarction. Our previous studies have shown an anti-remodelling role of ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) in vivo during hypertension and that these protective effects are mediated through increased circulating levels of Ang-(1-7) [angiotensin-(1-7)]. In the present study...
