Calcium signaling mediated by P2Y receptors in mouse taste cells.
Evidence implicates a number of neuroactive substances and their receptors in mediating complex cell-to-cell communications in the taste bud. Recently, we found that ATP, a ubiquitous neurotransmitter/neuromodulator, mobilizes intracellular Ca2+ in taste cells by activating P2Y receptors. Here, P2Y receptor-cellular response coupling was characterized in detail using single cell ratio photometr...
متن کاملRole of hydrogen peroxide in the neutrophil-mediated release of prostacyclin from cultured endothelial cells.
We have examined the effect of activated neutrophils on the release of prostacyclin (PGI2) from cultured endothelial cells by radioimmunoassay and thin layer chromatography of its stable metabolite, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha). Phorbol myristate acetate-activated neutrophils induced a time- and dose-dependent release of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha from human and bovine endothelial c...
متن کاملHypoxia-Induced Prostacyclin Release From Perfused Endocardial Endothelial Cells
Background Because of the marked difference in the incidence and severity of cardiovascular diseases between men and premenopausal women, several groups have studied the effect of sex steroids, particularly estrogen, on vascular endothelial prostacyclin (PG12) release. No previous studies have addressed the effect of estrogen on endocardial endothelial cells (EECs), which are involved in the mo...
متن کاملReceptor for advanced glycation end products involved in circulating endothelial cells release from human coronary endothelial cells induced by C-reactive protein
Objective(s): This study was designed to investigate the effect of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), S100A12 and C-reactive protein (CRP) on the release of circulating endothelial cells (CECs) from human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs). Materials and Methods: HCAECs were cultured in increasing concentration of CRP (0, 12.5, 25, 50μg/ml) or S100A12 protein (0, 4, 1...
متن کاملPurinoceptor-mediated calcium signaling in preglomerular smooth muscle cells.
-The current studies were performed to determine the contribution of calcium mobilization and voltage-dependent calcium influx to the increase in [Ca2+]i elicited by ATP and UTP. Suspensions of freshly isolated smooth muscle cells were prepared from preglomerular microvessels by enzymatic digestion and loaded with the Ca2+-sensitive dye fura 2. The effect of ATP and UTP on [Ca2+]i was studied o...
