Actin polymerization: Where the WASP stings
How do extracellular signals induce actin polymerization, as required for many cellular responses? Key signal transducers, such as the small GTPases Cdc42 and Rac, have now been shown to link via proteins of the WASP family to the Arp2/3 complex, which nucleates actin polymerization.
متن کاملHow Wasp Regulates Actin Polymerization
Protrusion of lamellipodia and filopodia from the cell surface requires that actin polymerize locally. Actin polymerization is initiated by numerous agonists, including growth factors, chemoattractants, extracellular matrix, and phagocytic particles. The signaling pathways from the corresponding receptors converge on Rho family GTPases, especially Rac and Cdc42, which induce actin polymerizatio...
متن کاملWasp stings with multisystem dysfunction.
The insect order of Hymenoptera includes bees, hornets, wasps and fire-ants. Their stings are not usually life threatening, causing mainly local reactions and rarely anaphylaxis. This is a report of an 18 month old child who survived after an unusually severe envenomation, resulting in encephalopathy, hypertension, coagulopathy, intra-vascular hemolysis, hepatic and renal failure, following mul...
متن کاملAcute renal failure following multiple wasp stings.
Wasp bite induced ATN from direct venom toxicity is very rare. We report two such cases. The first case was a 14 years old boy admitted with oliguria following multiple wasp stings. He had grossly deranged renal function requiring hemodialysis support. The other patient was a 24 years old man admitted with similar history and also required hemodialysis support. Renal biopsy in both cases was co...
متن کاملAnaphylaxis from Wasp Stings Inducing Coronary Thrombus
Myocardial infarction as a result of wasp stings is a rare manifestation of acute coronary syndromes. It has been ascribed to kounis syndrome or allergic angina whose triggers include mast cell degranulation leading to coronary vasospasm and/or local plaque destabilisation. Its exact pathophysiology is still not clearly defined. We present a case of an acute coronary syndrome as a consequence o...
