The increase in cytosolic [Ca2+] induced by Ca-mobilizing hormones in liver is mainly due to release of Ca from intracellular stores. For Ca to be released from internal sites a messenger must be formed at the plasma membrane which diffuses into the cytosol to signal Ca release from the intracellular organelles. One of the first actions of these hormones is to cause breakdown of the polyphosphoinositides to form soluble inositol phosphates. Some evidence for the idea that these substances could be the second messenger has been obtained in pancreatic acinar cells. Here we have found that hormone activation of hepatocytes causes rapid breakdown of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [ PtdIns (4,5)P2] to form inositol trisphosphate ( InsP3 ). When applied to permeabilized hepatocytes, InsP3 releases Ca from non-mitochondrial ATP-dependent pools. This suggests that InsP3 could be the messenger linking Ca-mobilizing receptor activation to intracellular Ca release in liver. 相似文献

Mecsas and colleagues suggest that a deficiency in the chemokine receptor CCR5 in humans is unlikely to confer protection against plague, based on their study of Yersinia pestis infection in Ccr5-deficient mice. They were testing the hypothesis that a mutation in the CCR5 gene, frequently found in Caucasians, may have been selected for in the past because it provided protection against (bubonic) plague; the mutation, called CCR5Delta32, is characterized by a 32-base-pair deletion. We have also tested this hypothesis by using Y. pestis infection in mice and, in addition, we have done phagocytosis experiments with macrophages from wild-type and Ccr5-deficient mice. Although, like Mecsas et al., we did not see any difference in the survival of the two groups of mice, we did find that there was a significantly reduced uptake of Y. pestis by Ccr5-deficient macrophages in vitro. Our results indicate that the role of Ccr5 in Y. pestis infection may therefore be more complex than previously thought. 相似文献

Signalling through the MHC class II cytoplasmic domain is required for antigen presentation and induces B7 expression. 总被引:27,自引:0,他引:27
Class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules function as antigen-presenting elements as well as signal transducers on B lymphocytes. We previously reported that a B lymphoma cell transfectant, 5C2, expressing genetically engineered I-Ak molecules with truncated cytoplasmic domains was severely impaired in both antigen presentation and in anti-Ia-induced intracytoplasmic signalling. These two functions could be restored by preculturing 5C2 cells with cyclic AMP analogues. Here we demonstrate that impaired signal transduction by truncated class II molecules results in a deficiency in induction of the newly defined B-cell accessory molecule B7 (ref. 8), which can be reversed by restoration of B7 expression. These data imply that contact of the T-cell antigen receptor with MHC/antigen ligand results in signal transmission through the class II cytoplasmic domain. This signal, which can be mimicked by dibutyryl cAMP, induces expression of B7, resulting in effective antigen presentation. The fact that crosslinking of surface class II MHC also induces B7 expression on normal resting human B cells supports this contention. 相似文献
