Human pancreatic islet miRNA-mRNA networks of altered miRNAs due to glycemic status
Summary: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression via mRNA targeting, playing important roles in the pancreatic islets. We aimed to identify molecular pathways and genomic regulatory regions associated with altered miRNA

A mouse model of autism implicates endosome pH in the regulation of presynaptic calcium entry. [PDF]
Psychoactive compounds such as chloroquine and amphetamine act by dissipating the pH gradient across intracellular membranes, but the physiological mechanisms that normally regulate organelle pH remain poorly understood.

Plasma membrane phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate promotes Weibel–Palade body exocytosis
Phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate transiently accumulates at sites of Weibel–Palade body–plasma membrane fusion and promotes agonist-evoked exocytosis of endothelial von-Willebrand factor.

Lytic granule exocytosis at immune synapses: lessons from neuronal synapses
Regulated exocytosis is a central mechanism of cellular communication. It is not only the basis for neurotransmission and hormone release, but also plays an important role in the immune system for the release of cytokines and cytotoxic molecules.

Exocytosis from permeabilized bovine adrenal chromaffin cells is differently modulated by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate and guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate [PDF]
1. In bovine adrenal chromaffin cells made permeable either to molecules less than or equal to 3 kDa with alphatoxin or to proteins less than or equal to 150 kDa with streptolysin O, the GTP analogues guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG)

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Bafilomycin A1, a vacuolar H+-ATPase inhibitor, and botulinum toxin B and tetanus toxin, both vesicle fusion inhibitors, are widely known exocytosis blockers that have been used to inhibit the presynaptic release of neurotransmitters.

An isoform-specific function of Cdc42 in regulating mammalian Exo70 during axon formation
The brain-specific isoform of the GTPase Cdc42 is shown to promote axon formation by interacting with the exocyst tethering complex and increasing exocytosis downstream of its activator Arhgef7. The highly conserved GTPase Cdc42 is an essential regulator

Coordinated oscillations in cortical actin and Ca2+ correlate with cycles of vesicle secretion. [PDF]
The actin cortex both facilitates and hinders the exocytosis of secretory granules. How cells consolidate these two opposing roles was not well understood. Here we show that antigen activation of mast cells induces oscillations in Ca(2+) and PtdIns(4,5)P(

Intercompartmental communication in senescence
Senescent cells experience structural changes in the plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, lysosomes, nucleus, and cytoskeleton. These alterations disrupt crosstalk among cellular compartments, impairing vesicular trafficking, contact sites, and molecular flow.
