Inositol trisphosphate, a novel second messenger in cellular signal transduction.
6.2K
TL;DR: Diacylglycerol operates within the plane of the membrane to activate protein kinase C, whereas inositol trisphosphate is released into the cytoplasm to function as a second messenger for mobilizing intracellular calcium.

Abstract: There has recently been rapid progress in understanding receptors that generate intracellular signals from inositol lipids. One of these lipids, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, is hydrolysed to diacylglycerol and inositol trisphosphate as part of a signal transduction mechanism for controlling a variety of cellular processes including secretion, metabolism, phototransduction and cell proliferation. Diacylglycerol operates within the plane of the membrane to activate protein kinase C, whereas inositol trisphosphate is released into the cytoplasm to function as a second messenger for mobilizing intracellular calcium.

Calcium's Role in Mechanotransduction during Muscle Development
TL;DR: How diverse mechanical stimuli cause changes in calcium homeostasis by affecting membrane channels and the intracellular stores, which in turn regulate multiple pathways that impart these effects and control the fate of muscle tissue is discussed in detail.
Studies and perspectives of protein kinase C
TL;DR: A novel role of this protein kinase system seems to give a logical basis for clarifying the biochemical mechanism of signal transduction, and to add a new dimension essential to the understanding of cell-to-cell communication.

The Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis — An Update
TL;DR: A response-to-injury hypothesis of atherogenesis proposes that "injury" to the endothelium is the initiating event in atherosclerosis, and intimal smooth-muscle proliferation as the key event in the development of the advanced lesions of Atherosclerosis.

The Effects of Plant Flavonoids on Mammalian Cells:Implications for Inflammation, Heart Disease, and Cancer
TL;DR: Western medicine has not yet used flavonoids therapeutically, even though their safety record is exceptional, and suggestions are made where such possibilities may be worth pursuing.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CaR activation caused Ca2+ release from the SR into the mitochondria and induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis through the SR and mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in failing hearts.

Enhancement of calcium uptake and phosphatidylinositol turnover by epidermal growth factor in A-431 cells.
TL;DR: The phosphatidylinositol response to EGF appears to be dependent on an influx of calcium since the binding, internalization, and degradation of 125I-labeled EGF in A-431 cells are unaffected by the omission of calcium from the medium.
Early changes in phosphatidylinositol and arachidonic acid metabolism in quiescent swiss 3T3 cells stimulated to divide by platelet-derived growth factor.
TL;DR: The results support the possibility that action of platelet-derived growth factor on Swiss 3T3 cells leads to release of diacylglycerol from phosphatidylinositol, that some of the release is hydrolyzed to monoacyl glycerol and arachidonic acid, and that these lipid products are in part reconverted to phosph atidyl inositol and other lipids.
The calcium signal and phosphatidylinositol breakdown in 2H3 cells.
TL;DR: Both PI breakdown and the Ca signal appear to depend on a common external Ca2+ site (or sites) with Km approximately equal to 0.4 mM, and the data are consistent with either independent activation of PI phosphodiesterase and theCa signal after antigenic stimulation, or with PI breakdown as a component of the mechanism by which the Ca Signal is generated.
Rapid accumulation of inositol phosphates in isolated rat superior cervical sympathetic ganglia exposed to V1-vasopressin and muscarinic cholinergic stimuli.
TL;DR: An accumulation of 3H-labelled inositol phosphates is observed when prelabelled rat superior cervical sympathetic ganglia are exposed to [8-arginine]vasopressin or to muscarinic cholinergic stimuli, suggesting that the initiating reaction in stimulated inositl lipid metabolism is a phosphodiesterase-catalysed hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate.
Phorbol myristate acetate stimulates ATP-dependent calcium transport by the plasma membrane of neutrophils.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the calcium pump in the plasma membrane of neutrophils may be stimulated by calcium-independent pathways, and that this activation could be one of the earliest events mediating some of the effects of phorbol esters.
