309 Measurement of agonist-induced calcium and mechanical signals in human airway smooth muscle cells

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Translational Science, 2023
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The goal of this proposal is to develop a technology that combines calcium imaging via confocal microscopy, and force measurement via monolayer stress microscopy to perform simultaneous quantitative measurements of agonist-induced Ca2 ...

Artificial Signal Transduction

open access: yesChemistryOpen, 2020
Communication between and inside cells as well as their response to external stimuli relies on elaborated systems of signal transduction. They all require a directional transmission across membranes, often realized by primary messenger docking onto ...

The Multiple Regulatory Relationship Between RNA-Chaperone Hfq and the Second Messenger c-di-GMP

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
RNA chaperone protein Hfq is an important post-transcriptional regulator in bacteria, while c-di-GMP is a second messenger signaling molecule widely distributed in bacteria.

Nuclear expression of diacylglycerol kinases: possible involvement in DNA replication

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
The existence of intranuclear lipid-dependent signal transduction systems has been demonstrated by several independent groups. Remarkably, intranuclear lipid-dependent signal transduction pathways are regulated independently from their membrane/cytosolic

MITOCHONDRIAL REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES (ROS) AS SIGNALLING MOLECULES OF INTRACELLULAR PATHWAYS TRIGGERED BY THE CARDIAC RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN II-ALDOSTERONE SYSTEM (RAAS).

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2013
Mitochondria represent major sources of basal reactive oxygen species (ROS) production of the cardiomyocyte. The role of ROS as signalling molecules that mediate different intracellular pathways has gained increasing interest among physiologists in the ...

Reactive oxygen species in disease: Rebuttal of a conventional concept

open access: yesJournal of Controversies in Biomedical Research, 2015
The production of intracellular reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species has long been proposed as leading to the random deleterious modification of macromolecules (i.e., nucleic acids, proteins) with an associated progressive development of

Cellular Tolerance Induced by Chronic Opioids in the Central Nervous System

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2022
Opioids are powerful analgesics that elicit acute antinociceptive effects through their action the mu opioid receptor (MOR). However opioids are ineffective for chronic pain management, in part because continuous activation of MORs induces adaptive ...

Information Content in Stochastic Pulse Sequences of Intracellular Messengers

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2018
Many cell signaling pathways rely on oscillatory messenger concentrations even to transduce aperiodic environmental changes. The universal second messenger calcium, Ca2+ often exhibits pulsatile behavior in the presence of constant concentrations of ...
