Heroin-Induces Differential Protein Expression by Normal Human Astrocytes (NHA).
Heroin use is postulated to act as a cofactor in the neuropathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection. Astrocytes, integral components of the CNS, are reported to be susceptible to HIV-1 infection. Upon activation, astrocytes release a number of immunoregulatory products or modulate the expression of a number of proteins that foster the immunopathogenesis of HIV-1 infection. ...
متن کاملChemokine Expression in Human Astrocytes in Response to Shiga Toxin 2
Infection with Shiga toxin- (Stx-) producing Escherichia coli can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Approximately, 30% of patients with HUS suffer from complications in the central nervous system (CNS), which is an important determinant of mortality in such patients. Autopsy shows mostly edema and hypoxic-ischemic changes in the CNS, often with microhemorrhages. It has been suggested tha...
متن کاملAmyloid-β inhibits thrombospondin 1 release from cultured astrocytes: effects on synaptic protein expression.
Among the consequences of Alzheimer disease are disturbances in synaptic integrity that ultimately lead to impaired cognitive functions. Thrombospondins are extracellular matrix proteins that, in the CNS, are predominantly produced by astrocytes and have been implicated in synaptogenesis. This study examined the effects of amyloid-β (Aβ(1-42); Aβ) peptide on intracellular and extracellular leve...
متن کاملChemokine GPCR Signaling Inhibits β-Catenin during Zebrafish Axis Formation
Embryonic axis formation in vertebrates is initiated by the establishment of the dorsal Nieuwkoop blastula organizer, marked by the nuclear accumulation of maternal β-catenin, a transcriptional effector of canonical Wnt signaling. Known regulators of axis specification include the canonical Wnt pathway components that positively or negatively affect β-catenin. An involvement of G-protein couple...
متن کاملCytokine regulation of CC and CXC chemokine expression by human astrocytes.
Chemokines constitute a large family of secreted proteins that function as chemoattractants and activators of leukocytes. Astrocytes, the major glial cell type in the central nervous system (CNS), are a source of chemokine production within diseased brain. As such, we have examined the production of chemokines by human astroglioma cell lines and primary human astrocytes treated with a variety o...
