Myocardial pathology induced by aldosterone is dependent on non-canonical activities of G protein-coupled receptor kinases

Nature Communications, 2016
High aldosterone levels cause heart damage independently of its well-known effect on blood pressure. Here, Cannavo et al. show that aldosterone-mediated cardiac pathology involves G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinase 2 (GRK2) and GRK5 that integrate ...

Estrogen, angiogenesis, immunity and cell metabolism: Solving the puzzle [PDF]

, 2018
Estrogen plays an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular physiology and the immune system by inducing direct effects on multiple cell types including immune and vascular cells. Sex steroid hormones are implicated in cardiovascular protection,

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Cyclic AMP signalling in pancreatic islets [PDF]

, 2010
Cyclic 3'5'AMP (cAMP) is an important physiological amplifier of glucose-induced insulin secretion by the pancreatic islet β-cell, where it is formed by the activity of adenylyl cyclases, which are stimulated by glucose, through elevation in ...

Insights into Activation Mechanisms of Store-Operated TRPC1 Channels in Vascular Smooth Muscle. [PDF]

, 2020
In vascular smooth muscle cells (VMSCs), the stimulation of store-operated channels (SOCs) mediate Ca2+ influx pathways which regulate important cellular functions including contraction, proliferation, migration, and growth that are associated with the ...

Chemoresistome mapping in individual breast cancer patients unravels diversity in dynamic transcriptional adaptation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study used longitudinal transcriptomics and gene‐pattern classification to uncover patient‐specific mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance in breast cancer. Findings reveal preexisting drug‐tolerant states in primary tumors and diverse gene rewiring patterns across patients, converging on a few dysregulated functional modules. Despite receiving the

Regulation of MMP-3 expression and secretion by the chemokine eotaxin-1 in human chondrocytes

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2011
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the degradation of articular cartilage, marked by the breakdown of matrix proteins. Studies demonstrated the involvement of chemokines in this process, and some may potentially serve as diagnostic ...

GPER-induced signaling is essential for the survival of breast cancer stem cells. [PDF]

, 2020
G protein-coupled estrogen receptor-1 (GPER), a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, mediates estrogen-induced proliferation of normal and malignant breast epithelial cells.
