Physiology of Receptor-Mediated Lymphocyte Apoptosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Apoptosis (programmed cell death), a physiological mechanism eliminating abundant and potentially harmful cells, is triggered by a variety of stimuli including activation of distinct receptors. The machinery mediating CD95 receptor-induced apoptosis includes caspases, ceramide, kinases, Ras and Rac, formation of O(2)(-), mitochondrial proteins, inhibition of K(+) channels, activation of Cl(-) channels, and osmolyte release.

Paeonol Protection Against Intrastriatal 6-Hydroxydopamine Rat Model of Parkinson\'s Disease
Introduction: Parkinsonchr('39')s disease (PD) presentations comprise frequent movement disorders in the elderly with various symptoms consisting of motor and non-motor complications. Paeonol is a phenolic chemical agent that has shown antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in different disorders and promising effects on metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR)- and GABAA-mediated neurotrans...
متن کاملCamel whey protein enhances lymphocyte survival by modulating the expression of survivin, bim/bax, and cytochrome C and restores heat stress-mediated pathological alteration in lymphoid organs
Objective(s): Heat stress (HS) is a catastrophic stressor that dampens immunity. The current study investigates the effect of dietary administration with camel whey protein (CWP) on apoptotic pathway caused by HS. Materials and Methods: Forty-five male mice were divided into three groups: a control group; HS group; and HS mice that were orally supplemented with CWP (CWP-HS group). Results: We f...
متن کاملMorphine modulates lymph node-derived T lymphocyte function: role of caspase-3, -8, and nitric oxide.
The major objective of this paper is to characterize the mechanism by which morphine modulates lymphocyte function and if these effects are mediated through the mu-opioid receptor. We evaluated the in vitro effects of morphine on lymphocytes that were freshly isolated from lymph nodes from wild type (WT) and mu-opioid receptor knock-out (MORKO) mice. Results show that morphine inhibits Con A-in...
متن کاملAccelerated lymphocyte death in sepsis occurs by both the death receptor and mitochondrial pathways.
Patients with sepsis are immune compromised, as evidenced by their failure to clear their primary infection and their propensity to develop secondary infections with pathogens that are often not particularly virulent in normal healthy individuals. A potential mechanism for immunosuppression in sepsis is lymphocyte apoptosis, which may occur by either a death receptor or a mitochondrial-mediated...
متن کاملIntensive resistance exercise induces lymphocyte apoptosis via cortisol and glucocorticoid receptor-dependent pathways.
Intensive endurance exercise is known to induce lymphocyte apoptosis, which might affect immune function. Less is known about the effects of resistance exercise on apoptosis and its underlying mechanisms. In this study, subjects performed an intensive resistance test (IRT) and a moderate resistance test, and lymphocyte apoptosis, apoptosis-related parameters, and underlying mechanisms were inve...
