GPR55: signaling pathways and functions
Background We have recently shown that the G protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) mediates intracellular effects of cannabinoids and other, non-cannabinoid ligands in addition to the classical cannabinoid 1 (CB1) and 2 (CB2) receptors. Here we show different signaling pathways triggered by GPR55 in response to a panel of its agonists. In addition the cytoskeleton rearrangement mediated by GPR55 ...
متن کاملTLR2 and TLR4 Signaling Pathways and Gastric Cancer: Insights from Transcriptomics and Sample Validation
Background: Pattern recognition receptors, especially toll-like receptors (TLRs), as the first line of defense for pathogen detection, were found to be associated with H. pylori infection and gastric cancer (GC). However, the expression levels of TLRs, i.e. TLR2 and TLR4, as the main receptors sensed by H. pylori, still remain largely ambiguous. We aimed to investigate the patterns of key tra...
متن کاملRegulated intramembrane proteolysis: signaling pathways and biological functions.
Intramembrane cleavage of transmembrane proteins is a fundamental cellular process. Several enzymes capable of releasing domains of integral membrane proteins have been described. Transmembrane protein proteolytic cleavage is regulated and involved not only in degrading membrane spanning segments but also in generating messengers that elicit biological responses. This review examines the role o...
متن کاملFunctions and regulatory mechanisms of Gq-signaling pathways.
Gq family members of heterotrimeric G protein activate beta isoforms of phospholipase C that hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol phosphate to diacylglycerol and inositol trisphosphate, leading to the protein kinase C activation and intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization, respectively. To understand the functions and regulatory mechanisms of Gq-signaling pathways, we first introduce the Galphaq-interacti...
متن کاملRegulation and physiological functions of G12/13-mediated signaling pathways.
Accumulating data indicate that G12 subfamily (Galpha12/13)-mediated signaling pathways play pivotal roles in a variety of physiological processes, while aberrant regulation of this pathway has been identified in various human diseases. It has been demonstrated that Galpha12/13-mediated signals form networks with other signaling proteins at various levels, from cell surface receptors to transcr...
