The emerging role of CaMKII in cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a multifunctional serine/threonine kinases best known for its critical role in learning and memory. Recent studies suggested that high levels of CaMKII also expressed in variety of malignant diseases. In this review, we focus on the structure and biology properties of CaMKII, including the role of CaMKII in the regulation of cancer progression and therapy response. We also describe the role of CaMKII in the diagnosis of different kinds of cancer and recent progress in the development of CaMKII inhibitors. These data establishes CaMKII as a novel target whose modulation presents new opportunities for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

P26: Long-Term Potentiation: The Mechanisms of CaMKII in Lerarning and Memory
Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a form of activity dependent plasticity that induced by high-frequency stimulation or theta burst stimulation and results in synaptic transmission. Several Studies have been shown that LTP is one of the most important processes in the CNS that plays an important role in learning and memory formation. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a major...
متن کاملEvaluation the Effect of Crocin on Bisphenol A-Induced Memory Impairment in Rats: Role of ERK, CaMKII, and CREB Proteins in Hippocampus
Introduction: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a toxic chemical that is used as a monomer in the production of plastic products. The BPA has an endocrine-disrupting effect and induces damage to the nervous system. Crocin, an active ingredient of Crocus sativus L. has neuroprotective effects. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate crocin’s effects on BPA-induced memory impairment in rats and the levels ...
متن کاملThe effects of crocin on spatial memory impairment induced by hyoscine: Role of NMDA, AMPA, ERK, and CaMKII proteins in rat hippocampus
Objective(s): Crocus sativus L. and its active constituent, crocin, have neuroprotective effects. The effects of crocin on memory impairment have been mentioned in studies but the signaling pathways have not been evaluated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of crocin on the hyoscine-induced memory impairment in rat. Additionally, the level o...
متن کاملEmerging insights into the biology of metastasis: A review article
Metastasis means the dissemination of the cancer cells from one organ to another which is not directly connected to the primary site. Metastasis has a crucial role in the prognosis of cancer patients. A few theories, different types of cell and several molecular pathways have been proposed to explain the mechanism of metastasis. In this work, the related articles in the limited period of time, ...
متن کاملCellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II in Chronic Pain.
Chronic pain, often defined as any pain lasting more than 3 months, is poorly managed because of its multifaceted and complex mechanisms. Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a multifunctional serine/threonine kinase that plays a fundamental role in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. Recent emerging evidence demonstrates increased expression and activity of CaMKII ...
