Neutrophil cell surface receptors and their intracellular signal transduction pathways☆
Neutrophils play a critical role in the host defense against bacterial and fungal infections, but their inappropriate activation also contributes to tissue damage during autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Neutrophils express a large number of cell surface receptors for the recognition of pathogen invasion and the inflammatory environment. Those include G-protein-coupled chemokine and chemoat...
متن کاملNeurotrophic Factors and Intracellular Signal Transduction Pathways
A clear limitation of treating diseases of the central nervous system arises from the loss of regenerative potential of the brain at a very early age. Improper development of neural circuits or injury of neurons appears to be permanently fixed in the adult, with seemingly little hope of restorative therapy. This is most clearly true of the spectrum of neurologic diseases, such as neurodegenerat...
متن کاملSignaling pathways that control cell proliferation.
Cells decide to proliferate or remain quiescent using signaling pathways that link information about the cellular environment to the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Progression through G1 phase is controlled by pRB proteins, which function to repress the activity of E2F transcription factors in cells exiting mitosis and in quiescent cells. Phosphorylation of pRB proteins by the G1 cyclin-dependent ...
متن کاملRETRACTED: Betatrophin: A Hormone that Controls Pancreatic β Cell Proliferation
Replenishing insulin-producing pancreatic β cell mass will benefit both type I and type II diabetics. In adults, pancreatic β cells are generated primarily by self-duplication. We report on a mouse model of insulin resistance that induces dramatic pancreatic β cell proliferation and β cell mass expansion. Using this model, we identify a hormone, betatrophin, that is primarily expressed in liver...
متن کاملRole of PP2A in intracellular signal transduction pathways.
Intracellular signal transduction pathways play a crucial role in a variety of cellular processes, such as differentiation, proliferation, or apoptosis, and the reversible phosphorylation of their components is a major regulatory mechanism to control their activities. While much has been learned about the contribution of kinases, the involvement of phosphatases in these events is less clear and...
