Red Blood Cell-Conditioned Media from Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Patients Contain Increased MCP1 and Induce TNF-α Release
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) constitutes a global pandemic. An intricate network among cytokines and lipids possesses a central role in NAFLD pathogenesis. Red blood cells comprise an important source of both cytokines and signaling lipids and have an important role in molecular crosstalk during immunometabolic deregulation. However, their role in NAFLD has not been tho...
متن کاملCalcium and transmitter release.
The mechanism of transmitter release by intracellular Ca has been explored by recording presynaptic Ca concentration ([Ca2+]i) with Ca-sensitive fluorescent dyes and by controlling [Ca2+]i with photosensitive Ca chelators. [Ca2+]i decays slowly (in seconds) after presynaptic action potentials, while transmitter release lasts only a few ms after each spike at fast synapses. Simulations of Ca dif...
متن کاملAcetylcholine receptor aggregation at nerve-muscle contacts in mammalian cultures: induction by ventral spinal cord neurons is specific to axons.
We used a novel mammalian coculture system to study ACh receptor (AChR) redistribution and synaptic structure at nerve-muscle contacts. Ventral spinal cord (VSC) neurons were plated on cultures containing extensive myotubes but few fibroblasts. Neurite-induced redistribution of AChRs occurred within 6 hr after plating neurons and was maximal between 36-48 hr. This AChR redistribution appeared i...
متن کاملMotoneuronal and muscle synergies involved in cat hindlimb control
23 We compared the activity profiles and synergies of spinal motoneurons recorded during 24 fictive locomotion evoked in immobilized decerebrate cat preparations by midbrain stimulation 25 to the activity profiles and synergies of the corresponding hindlimb muscles obtained during 26 forward level walking in cats. The fictive locomotion data were collected in the Spinal Cord 27 Research Centre,...
متن کاملIncreased transmitter release and aberrant synapse morphology in a Drosophila calmodulin mutant.
The ubiquitous calcium-binding protein calmodulin (CaM) has been implicated in the development and function of the nervous system in a variety of eukaryotic organisms. We have generated mutations in the single Drosophila Calmodulin (Cam) gene and examined the effects of these mutations on behavior, synaptic transmission at the larval neuromuscular junction, and structure of the larval motor ner...
