y-Hexachlorocyclohexane activation of alveolar kacrophage phosphatidylinositol cycle, calcium mobilization and 0; production
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of y-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCC) on phosphatidyl inositol (PI) cycle activity was investigated in the guinea pig alveolar macrophage. Similar to stimulation by the chemotactic peptide N-formylrile-leu-phe (FNLLP), 125 PM HCC was found to stimulate PI cycle activity, calcium mobilization (4sCa2+ efflux and cytosolic [Cal+] elevation) and 0; production, although the action of HCC was prolonged in comparison. HCC treatment did not block subsequent stimulation by FNLLP. HCC is proposed to act at an early stage in the same activation sequence as does FNLLP.

Pulmonary surfactant protein A activates a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/calcium signal transduction pathway in human macrophages: participation in the up-regulation of mannose receptor activity.
Surfactant protein A (SP-A), a major component of lung surfactant, binds to macrophages and has been shown to alter several macrophage biological functions, including up-regulation of macrophage mannose receptor (MR) activity. In the present study, we show that SP-A induces signal transduction pathway(s) that impact on MR expression. The addition of human, rat, or recombinant rat SP-A to human ...
متن کاملDimethyphenylpiperazinium, a nicotinic receptor agonist, downregulates inflammation in monocytes/macrophages through PI3K and PLC chronic activation.
Activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) on inflammatory cells induces anti-inflammatory effects. The intracellular mechanisms that regulate this effect are still poorly understood. In neuronal cells, nAChRs are associated with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). This enzyme, which can activate phospholipase C (PLC), is also present in monocytes. The aim of this study was to a...
متن کاملThe stimulation of inositol lipid metabolism that accompanies calcium mobilization in stimulated cells: defined characteristics and unanswered questions.
It now appears to be generally agreed that the 'phosphatidylinositol response', discovered in 1953 by Hokin & Hokin, occurs universally when cells are stimulated by ligands that cause an elevation of the ionized calcium concentration of the cytosol. The initiating reaction is almost certainly hydrolysis of an inositol lipid by a phosphodiesterase. Phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol 4-ph...
متن کاملMediators of the mitogenic action of human V(1) vascular vasopressin receptors.
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) activation of V(1) vascular receptors (V(1)Rs) stimulates cell growth and proliferation in different tissues via cellular signaling pathways that remain to be identified. To explore the intracellular mediators of the mitogenic action of V(1)R, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were stably transfected with the human V(1)R cDNA clone we isolated previously. We assessed ...
متن کاملB cell receptor-mediated Syk-independent activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, Ras, and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways.
The Syk tyrosine kinase is a key molecule in the development of the B cell lineage and the activation of B lymphocytes after Ag recognition by the B cell Ag receptor (BCR). Several genetic studies with chicken B cells have reported that the recruitment of Syk by BCR is essential for activation of a cascade of signaling molecules including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, mitogen-activated protein...
