Inflaming depression.
It wasn’t all that long ago that immune system and brain functioning were considered to be independent of one another. Of course, there is now considerable evidence indicating that brain neurochemical processes may affect immune activity; conversely, inflammatory processes influence brain functioning and may consequently contribute to symptoms associated with mood disorders and anxiety, schizop...
متن کاملInflaming attraction by RNA.
© Schattauer 2012 Thrombosis and Haemostasis 108.4/2012 Recent findings indicate that naturally occurring polyphosphates, like nucleic acids and inorganic compounds, share the ability to trigger blood coagulation (1). The release of DNA or RNA by tissue damage can thus represent a first line of haemostatic defence against vascular injury. This view is further corroborated by the observation tha...
متن کاملInflaming hypothalamic neurons raises blood pressure.
Obesity and hypertension are strongly associated, and neural dysfunction has been implicated in both. The hypothalamus integrates signals regulating blood pressure and energy homeostasis. A recent paper in Nature Medicine (Purkayastha et al., 2011) suggests that obesity and hypertension are caused by inflammation in distinct hypothalamic neuronal populations.
متن کاملOncogenic KIT-containing exosomes increase gastrointestinal stromal tumor cell invasion.
During tumor development, constant interplay occurs between tumor cells and surrounding stromal cells. We report evidence that gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) cells invade the interstitial stroma through the release of the oncogenic protein tyrosine kinase (KIT)-containing exosomes, which triggers the phenotypic conversion of progenitor smooth muscle cells to tumor-promoting cells. These ...
متن کاملDirect engagement of the PI3K pathway by mutant KIT dominates oncogenic signaling in gastrointestinal stromal tumor.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) predominantly harbor activating mutations in the receptor tyrosine kinase KIT. To genetically dissect in vivo the requirement of different signal transduction pathways emanating from KIT for tumorigenesis, the oncogenic KitV558Δ mutation was combined with point mutations abrogating specific phosphorylation sites on KIT. Compared with single-mutant KitV558...
