TRP channels in cell survival and cell death in normal and transformed cells.
TRP channels form a superfamily of channel proteins exhibiting versatile regulatory characteristics with many channels participating in the regulation of Ca(2+) homeostasis and influencing the cell fate. Multitude of evidence is emerging that the colocalization of TRP channels with Ca(2+)-sensing elements of specific regulatory pathways leading to either proliferation or apoptosis is what makes...
متن کاملCrosstalk between Nitric Oxide and Zinc Pathways to Neuronal Cell Death Involving Mitochondrial Dysfunction and p38-Activated K+ Channels
Nitric oxide (NO) and zinc (Zn2+) are implicated in the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases. However, their relationship and the molecular mechanism of their neurotoxic effects remain unclear. Here we show that addition of exogenous NO or NMDA (to increase endogenous NO) leads to peroxynitrite (ONOO-) formation and consequent Zn2+ release from intracellular stores i...
متن کاملMitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channels modulate cardiac mitochondrial function.
Discovered in the cardiac sarcolemma, ATP-sensitive K+(KATP) channels have more recently also been identified within the inner mitochondrial membrane. Yet the consequences of mitochondrial KATP channel activation on mitochondrial function remain partially documented. Therefore, we isolated mitochondria from rat hearts and used K+ channel openers to examine the effect of mitochondrial KATPchanne...
متن کاملMitochondrial localization and involvement in cell death
In several neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer disease (AD) and Parkinson disease (PD), protein aggregation is accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction. An increasing number of proteins found in mitochondria have multiple localizations. The Amyloid β-peptide precursor protein (APP), a key protein in AD, has a chimeric targeting signal (endoplasmic reticulum (ER) + mitochondria). AP...
متن کاملMitochondrial Dynamics in Cell Life and Death
INTRODUCTION The first workshop on “Mitochondrial Dynamics in Cell Life and Death,” sponsored by the Federation of European Biochemical Societies and the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, took place in August 2005 at the Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine in Padova, Italy. The meeting was dedicated to the memory of Stanley J Korsmeyer, one of the leading scientist...
