Cdc42 contributes to phorbol ester-induced Ca2+-independent contraction of pulmonary artery smooth muscle.
We determined the contribution of the Rho family of low molecular GTP-binding proteins to phorbol ester-induced contraction in swine pulmonary artery smooth muscle. In Ca2+-free medium containing 1 mM EGTA, 12-deoxyphorbol 13-isobutyrate (DPB, 1 microM), a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, elicited sustained contractions, which were not inhibited by treatment with verapamil, a voltage-dependent...
متن کاملInterleukin-la mediates phorbol ester-induced inflammation
The topical application of the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to murine skin produces acute inflammatory and hyperplastic responses that have been associated with the promotion stage of skin carcinogenesis. It has been shown in a previous study that TPA induces the expression of the highly inflammatory cytokine, interleukin (IL) -la, in the epidermis of SENCAR mice. T...
متن کاملCaspase activation during phorbol ester-induced apoptosis requires ROCK-dependent myosin-mediated contraction.
Treatment of cells with phorbol ester, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), triggers differentiation or apoptosis, depending on the cell type. In this study, we used an erythroblastic cell line, TF-1, to investigate the molecular mechanism that determines the cell fate in response to PMA exposure. Upon PMA treatment in the presence of serum or lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), TF-1 cells exhibited...
متن کاملNeuregulin-1 Enhances Depolarization-Induced GABA Release
Neuregulin-1 (NRG1), a regulator of neural development, has been shown to regulate neurotransmission at excitatory synapses. Although ErbB4, a key NRG1 receptor, is expressed in glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD)-positive neurons, little is known about its role in GABAergic transmission. We show that ErbB4 is localized at GABAergic terminals of the prefrontal cortex. Our data indicate a role of ...
متن کاملActions of a phorbol ester on factors regulating contraction in rabbit mesenteric artery.
The effects of 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on isometric tension, unloaded shortening velocity determined using the slack test (Vmax), and phosphorylation of myosin light chain (MLC20) were investigated in intact and skinned muscle tissues of the rabbit mesenteric artery. In intact muscles exposed to 128 mM K+, the Vmax reached a maximum before the peak of the phasic component of ...
