Anandamide as an intracellular messenger regulating ion channel activity.
The endocannabinoid anandamide (N-arachidonoylethanolamine) was proposed to be an extracellular retrograde messenger, which regulates excitability of neurons by cannabinoid CB1 receptor-dependent inhibition of neurotransmitter release. Recent findings indicate that the neuromodulatory actions of anandamide might be more complex. Anandamide has been shown to directly modulate various ion channel...
متن کاملS-nitrosylation inhibits pannexin 1 channel function.
S-nitrosylation is a post-translational modification on cysteine(s) that can regulate protein function, and pannexin 1 (Panx1) channels are present in the vasculature, a tissue rich in nitric oxide (NO) species. Therefore, we investigated whether Panx1 can be S-nitrosylated and whether this modification can affect channel activity. Using the biotin switch assay, we found that application of the...
متن کاملFIP200 is Involved in Murine Pseudomonas Infection by Regulating HMGB1 Intracellular Translocation
BACKGROUND FIP200, a critical autophagy initiating protein, can participate in numerous cellular functions including cancer development; however, its functional role in P. aeruginosa infection of alveolar macrophages is unknown. METHODS To investigate the role of FIP200 in host defense, we transfected murine alveolar macrophage MH-S cells with FIP200 siRNA. Having confirmed that FIP200 knockd...
متن کاملSMC4, which is essentially involved in lung development, is associated with lung adenocarcinoma progression
Structural maintenance of chromosome 4 (SMC4) is a core subunit of condensin complexes that mainly contributes to chromosome condensation and segregation. Our previous study demonstrated that the gene expression profile during lung development is of great values for the study of lung cancer. In this study, we identified SMC4 through co-expression network analysis and clique percolation clusteri...
متن کاملSox31 is involved in central nervous system anteroposterior regionalization through regulating the organizer activity in zebrafish.
Sox superfamily proteins are DNA-binding transcriptional factors that contain highly conserved high-mobility group (HMG) box and take part in various development process. Sox31 is a maternal factor supplied in the oocyte and starts its zygotic expression during mid-blastula transition (MBT). From gastrulation stage, it mainly resides in neural tissue. Ectopically expression of Sox31 mRNA leads ...
