The new biology of gastrointestinal hormones.
The classic concept of gastrointestinal endocrinology is that of a few peptides released to the circulation from endocrine cells, which are interspersed among other mucosal cells in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Today more than 30 peptide hormone genes are known to be expressed throughout the digestive tract, which makes the gut the largest endocrine organ in the body. Moreover, development...
متن کاملProcessing-independent analysis of peptide hormones and prohormones in plasma.
Peptide hormones are post-translationally matured before they reach a structure in which they can fulfill their biological functions. The prohormone processing may encompass a variety of endoproteolytic cleavages, N- and C-terminal trimmings, and amino acid derivatizations. The same prohormone can be variably processed in different cell types and, in addition, diseased cells often change the pr...
متن کاملNew interactions between classical plant hormones.
Research on the classical plant hormones continues to uncover fascinating interactions between these crucial regulatory compounds.Recent papers describe ‘crosstalk’ between the abscisic acid and ethylene signaling pathways in Arabidopsis, and how the nature of this interaction depends on organ type.Auxin has now been shown to promote the biosynthesis of active gibberellin in pea,by up-regulatin...
متن کاملPlant peptide hormones: The long and the short of it
A polypeptide from tobacco has been found to be processed into multiple functional peptides, each with independent hormone-like activities. This adds to a growing set of small peptides known to function as signal molecules in plants.
متن کاملNon-coding RNAs in Exosomes: New Players in Cancer Biology
Exosomes are lipid bilayer extracellular vesicles (EVs) of 50-150nm in size, which contain nucleic acids (mRNA, ncRNAs and DNA), proteins and lipids. They are secreted by all cells and circulate in all body fluids. Exosomes are key mediators of several processes in cancer that mediate tumor progression and metastasis. These nano-vesicles, when secreted from cancer cells, are enriched in non-cod...
