Transcriptional Control of Synaptic Plasticity by Transcription Factor NF-κB
Activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) transcription factors is required for the induction of synaptic plasticity and memory formation. All components of this signaling pathway are localized at synapses, and transcriptionally active NF-κB dimers move to the nucleus to translate synaptic signals into altered gene expression. Neuron-specific inhibition results in altered connectivity of exc...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of fibroblast growth factor-2 expression in human astrocytes: implications for cell plasticity.
Induction of the fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) gene and the consequent accumulation of FGF-2 in the nucleus are operative events in mitotic activation and hypertrophy of human astrocytes. In the brain, these events are associated with cellular degeneration and may reflect release of the FGF-2 gene from cell contact inhibition. We used cultures of human astrocytes to examine whether express...
متن کاملMicroRNA-dependent control of the cardiac fibroblast secretome.
B iological discovery is very much dependent on technological innovation, and often the reverse is true too. Up to relatively recently, research has had to adopt a reductionist approach to biological discovery, that is, one focusing on a single gene, protein, pathway, etc, because of the constraints imposed by the available tools of discovery. Nowadays, the increasingly sophisticated nature of ...

متن کاملThe other side of cardiac Ca2+ signaling: transcriptional control
Ca(2+) is probably the most versatile signal transduction element used by all cell types. In the heart, it is essential to activate cellular contraction in each heartbeat. Nevertheless Ca(2+) is not only a key element in excitation-contraction coupling (EC coupling), but it is also a pivotal second messenger in cardiac signal transduction, being able to control processes such as excitability, m...
