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 کاملDimerization of cell surface receptors in signal transduction
Introduction Cell growth, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis are in part regulated by polypeptide growth factors or cytokines. As these factors are unable to pass the hydrophobic cell membrane, a fundamental question is how they transduce their signals into the cell. Growth factors and cytokines exert their effects via binding to cell surface receptors; results obtained during recent yea...
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...
متن کاملIntracellular signal transduction pathways as targets for neurotoxicants.
The multiple cascades of signal transduction pathways that lead from receptors on the cell membrane to the nucleus, thus translating extracellular signals into changes in gene expression, may represent important targets for neurotoxic compounds. Among the biochemical steps and pathways that have been investigated are the metabolism of cyclic nucleotides, the formation of nitric oxide, the metab...
