Signalling via integrins: implications for cell survival and anticancer strategies.
Integrin-associated signalling renders cells more resistant to genotoxic anti-cancer agents like ionizing radiation and chemotherapeutic substances, a phenomenon termed cell adhesion-mediated radioresistance/drug resistance (CAM-RR, CAM-DR). Integrins are heterodimeric cell-surface molecules that on one side link the actin cytoskeleton to the cell membrane and on the other side mediate cell-mat...
متن کاملGrb2 regulates B-cell maturation, B-cell memory responses and inhibits B-cell Ca2+ signalling.
Grb2 is a ubiquitously expressed adaptor protein, which activates Ras and MAP kinases in growth factor receptor signalling, while in B-cell receptor (BCR) signalling this role is controversial. In B cell lines it was shown that Grb2 can inhibit BCR-induced Ca(2+) signalling. Nonetheless, the physiological role of Grb2 in primary B cells is still unknown. We generated a B-cell-specific Grb2-defi...
متن کاملB-cell development and antigen receptor signalling.
B-cell development and function requires the products of the Vav family of genes. Vav proteins act as key components of the antigen receptor signal transduction machinery by integration of signals that control the cell cycle, differentiation and apoptosis. At the molecular level, Vav proteins regulate small-molecular-mass GTPases, phosphoinositide 3-kinase, TEC family tyrosine kinases and intra...
متن کاملB cell signalling as therapeutic target.
B iological therapy holds the promise of specificity of intervention. Recent progress in development of such therapies has proved that rational targeting can lead to clinical benefit. B cells pose an attractive target in autoimmunity. Approaches currently being tested lead to depletion of B cells or at least circulating B cells. Such therapies appear remarkably benign, but the effects of repeat...
متن کاملHedgehog signalling promotes germ cell survival in the rat testis
Hedgehog (Hh) signalling has a crucial role in testis development. Sertoli cell-derived desert hedgehog (DHH) guides the formation of testis cords and differentiation of foetal-type Leydig cells. Dhh mutant mice are infertile due to a block in germ cell differentiation, hypogonadism and hypoandrogenism. Hh signalling pathway components are also expressed in postnatal testis. In the rat testis t...
