Calcium signaling.
نویسنده
چکیده
Calcium ions regulate processes as diverse as cell motility, gene transcription, muscle contraction, and exocytosis (Berridge et al. 2000). The first realization that they are critical for cellular function is often attributed to Sydney Ringer, who discovered in 1883 that saline solution made up using London tap water (which contained calcium) supported the contraction of isolated frog hearts, whereas saline made up using distilled water (which lacked calcium) could not. Subsequent work revealed that numerous cell biological processes are controlled by calcium (Carafoli

Involvement of Mu Opioid Receptor Signaling in The Protective Effect of Opioid against 6-Hydroxydopamine-Induced SH-SY5Y Human Neuroblastoma Cells Apoptosis
Introduction: The neuroprotective role of opioid morphine against 6-hydroxydopamineinduced cell death has been demonstrated. However, the exact mechanism(s) underlying such neuroprotection, especially the role of subtype receptors, has not yet been fully clarified. Methods: Here, we investigated the effects of different opioid agonists on 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity in human neuroblastoma...

متن کاملMechanical regulation of calcium signaling of HL-60 on P-selectin under flow
BACKGROUND Binding of P-selectin to P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) makes neutrophils roll on and adhere to inflammatory site. Intracellular calcium bursting of adhered neutrophils is a key event for subsequent arresting firmly at and migrating into the injured tissue. But, it remains unclear how the cytoplasmic calcium signaling of the cells were modulated by the fluid shear stress. ...
متن کاملStress Signaling II: Calcium Sensing and Signaling
Calcium is an essential second messenger in plant signaling networks. Many environmental and developmental stimuli induce an increase in cytosolic calcium to trigger different physiological responses. The specificity of Ca2+ signaling is achieved by a combination of distinct calcium signatures that are generated by specific calcium channels, pumps and transporters, and diverse calcium sensors t...
متن کاملTamoxifen-induced enhancement of calcium signaling in glioma and MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
The antiestrogen tamoxifen is commonly used to treat breast cancer, but it also has therapeutic activity in several other types of cancer. Many of these tumors, including malignant gliomas, are estrogen receptor negative. Nonetheless, high concentrations of tamoxifen can directly reduce cell proliferation in some of these tumors and induce apoptosis. In this study, the role of tamoxifen in calc...
متن کاملCytoskeletal assembly and ATP release regulate astrocytic calcium signaling.
We have studied the role of actin fiber assembly on calcium signaling in astrocytes. We found that (1) after astrocytes have been placed in culture, it takes several hours for organization of the definitive actin cytoskeleton. Actin organization and the number of cells engaged in calcium signaling increased in parallel. (2) Disruption of the actin cytoskeleton attenuated the calcium wave propag...
