Pannexin1 as mediator of inflammation and cell death.
Pannexins form channels at the plasma membrane surface that establish a pathway for communication between the cytosol of individual cells and their extracellular environment. By doing so, pannexin signaling dictates several physiological functions, but equally underlies a number of pathological processes. Indeed, pannexin channels drive inflammation by assisting in the activation of inflammasom...
متن کاملAkt as a mediator of cell death.
Protein kinase B/Akt possesses prosurvival and antiapoptotic activities and is involved in growth factor-mediated neuronal protection. In this study we establish Akt deactivation as a causal mediator of cell death. Akt deactivation occurs in multiple models of cell death including N-methyl-d-aspartate excitotoxicity, vascular stroke, and nitric oxide (NO)- and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-elicited ...
متن کاملComplement as a Mediator of Inflammation
Interaction in free solution of highly purified preparations of human C'1 esterase, C'4, C'2, and C'3, in the presence of Mg(2+), resulted in rapid generation of an activity indistinguishable by biological criteria from anaphylatoxin. The formation of anaphylatoxin was associated with immunoelectrophoretic conversion of C'3 to anodically faster migrating proteins and was unaffected by the prese...
متن کاملCalcium signaling as a mediator of cell energy demand and a trigger to cell death
Calcium signaling is pivotal to a host of physiological pathways. A rise in calcium concentration almost invariably signals an increased cellular energy demand. Consistent with this, calcium signals mediate a number of pathways that together serve to balance energy supply and demand. In pathological states, calcium signals can precipitate mitochondrial injury and cell death, especially when cou...
متن کاملApoptosis, Cell Death and Inflammation
ceptors (e.g. members of the TNF superfamily such as TNFR1, CD95 or Toll-like receptors [4] ), or the intracellular sensors, nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors [5, 6] , all of which can instigate inflammatory responses and modulate the cell’s survival/death balance. NOD-like receptors can assemble into large multiprotein complexes, termed inflammasomes, which can...
