Olfactory signal transduction in the mouse septal organ.
The septal organ, a distinct chemosensory organ observed in the mammalian nose, is essentially a small island of olfactory neuroepithelium located bilaterally at the ventral base of the nasal septum. Virtually nothing is known about its physiological properties and function. To understand the nature of the sensory neurons in this area, we studied the mechanisms underlying olfactory signal trans...
متن کاملMolecular organization of the olfactory septal organ.
The septal organ in the mammalian nose is a distinct chemosensory organ sitting in the air path. To gain insights into its organization and function, we analyzed the chemoreceptors expressed in this area. By combining cDNA cloning, Affymetrix (Santa Clara, CA) genechips covering all the mouse olfactory receptor genes, and in situ hybridization, we achieved a relatively complete expression profi...
متن کاملCellular mechanisms of olfactory signal transduction.
The sense of smell has the exquisite capacity to recognize and discriminate among an immense variety of volatile chemical compounds that are present in the environment. In mammals, olfactory cues are detected by sensory neurons belonging to three different sensory modalities harboured in the nasal cavity. Olfactory and vomeronasal primary sensory neurons (OSNs and VSNs, respectively) detect odo...
متن کاملOlfactory G proteins: Simple and complex signal transduction
In both vertebrates and invertebrates, olfactory perception is mediated by G-protein-coupled receptors. Recent work, in both mouse and Caenorhabditis elegans, sheds light on the role of specific G proteins in olfactory signal transduction, neuronal morphology and axon guidance.
متن کاملReactive oxygen species mediate insulin signal transduction in mouse hypothalamus.
In the hypothalamus, several reports have implied that ROS mediate physiological effects of insulin. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of insulin-induced ROS production and the effect of ROS on insulin signal transduction in mouse hypothalamic organotypic cultures. Insulin increased intracellular ROS, which were suppressed by NADPH oxidase inhibitor. H2O2 increased phospho-insulin r...
