Angiogenesis: role of calcium-mediated signal transduction.
During angiogenesis, endothelial cells react to stimulation with finely tuned signaling responses. The role of calcium-regulated signaling in angiogenesis has not been defined. This study investigated the calcium dependency of endothelial cell proliferation and invasion by using an inhibitor of ligand-stimulated calcium influx, CAI (carboxy-amidotriazole). Incubation with CAI significantly inhi...
متن کاملSignal transduction in hair cells and its regulation by calcium
Ca2+ plays a pivotal role in the regulation of hair cell function. From ,mechanoelectrical transduction at the cell's apex to the release of neurotransmitter at its base, Ca*+ acts continuously to either effect or affect diverse cellular processes. The ability of Ca'+ to perform its various local tasks rests simply on the steep gradients in the activity of Ca*+ that are encountered in the vicin...
متن کاملFold-Hopf Bursting in a Model for Calcium Signal Transduction
We study a recent model for calcium signal transduction. This model displays spiking, bursting and chaotic oscillations in accordance with experimental results. We calculate bifurcation diagrams and study the bursting behaviour in detail. This behaviour is classified according to the dynamics of separated slow and fast subsystems. It is shown to be of the Fold-Hopf type, a type which was previo...
متن کاملNoise enhanced hormonal signal transduction through intracellular calcium oscillations.
In a wide range of non-linear dynamical systems, noise may enhance the detection of weak deterministic input signals. Here, we demonstrate this phenomenon for transmembrane signaling in a hormonal model system of intracellular Ca(2+) oscillations. Adding Gaussian noise to a subthreshold extracellular pulsatile stimulus increased the sensitivity in the dose-response relation of the Ca(2+) oscill...
متن کاملStructural basis of Sorcin-mediated calcium-dependent signal transduction
Sorcin is an essential penta-EF hand calcium binding protein, able to confer the multi-drug resistance phenotype to drug-sensitive cancer cells and to reduce Endoplasmic Reticulum stress and cell death. Sorcin silencing blocks cell cycle progression in mitosis and induces cell death by triggering apoptosis. Sorcin participates in the modulation of calcium homeostasis and in calcium-dependent ce...
