Glial cells under physiologic and pathologic conditions.
Glial cells have long been considered to play roles in the nervous system that are unexciting compared with those of neurons. They provide neurons with nutrients, guide migrating neurons and their precursors during development, and dispose of the brain's "waste." Recent evidence, however, suggests that glial cells play more sophisticated, neuronlike roles. They integrate neuronal input, modulat...
متن کاملInorganic polyphosphate in Vibrio cholerae: genetic, biochemical, and physiologic features.
Vibrio cholerae O1, biotype El Tor, accumulates inorganic polyphosphate (poly P) principally as large clusters of granules. Poly P kinase (PPK), the enzyme that synthesizes poly P from ATP, is encoded by the ppk gene, which has been cloned from V. cholerae, overexpressed, and knocked out by insertion-deletion mutagenesis. The predicted amino acid sequence of PPK is 701 residues (81.6 kDa), with...
متن کاملThe Physiologic Basis for the Pharmacologic Use of Recombinant Erythropoietin.
Erythropoiesis, the orderly continuous process by which committed erythroid progenitor cells differentiate into mature circulating erythrocytes, requires (1) a normal hematopoietic progenitor cell pool, (2) an adequate supply of essential nutrients such as iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, and (3) ongoing exposure to specific hematopoietic growth factors. While the major function of the red ce...
متن کاملApplications of MAGE in Studying Physiologic and Pathologic Mechanisms
A DNA microarray is an orderly arrangement of DNA on solid support, providing a medium for matching known and unknown DNA samples [1]. The types of DNA microarrays and relevant methodologies are reviewed by Chao et al [2]. In this article, we briefly review the current advances in microarray analysis of gene expression (MAGE), focusing on recent reports of the MicroArray Quality Control (MAQC) ...
متن کاملInvolvement of oxygen-sensing pathways in physiologic and pathologic erythropoiesis.
Red blood cells deliver O(2) from the lungs to every cell in the human body. Reduced tissue oxygenation triggers increased production of erythropoietin by hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), which is a transcriptional activator composed of an O(2)-regulated alpha subunit and a constitutively expressed beta subunit. Hydroxylation of HIF-1alpha or HIF-2alpha by the asparaginyl hydroxylase FIH-1 b...
