Cell Communication: Any of several ways in which living cells of an organism communicate with one another, whether by direct contact between cells or by means of chemical signals carried by neurotransmitter substances, hormones, and cyclic AMP.Gap Junctions: Connections between cells which allow passage of small molecules and electric current. Gap junctions were first described anatomically as regions of close apposition between cells with a narrow (1-2 nm) gap between cell membranes. The variety in the properties of gap junctions is reflected in the number of CONNEXINS, the family of proteins which form the junctions.Communication: The exchange or transmission of ideas, attitudes, or beliefs between individuals or groups.Intercellular Junctions: Direct contact of a cell with a neighboring cell. Most such junctions are too small to be resolved by light microscopy, but they can be visualized by conventional or freeze-fracture electron microscopy, both of which show that the interacting CELL MEMBRANE and often the underlying CYTOPLASM and the intervening EXTRACELLULAR SPACE are highly specialized in these regions. (From Alberts et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2d ed, p792)Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis: Hybridization of a nucleic acid sample to a very large set of OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBES, which have been attached individually in columns and rows to a solid support, to determine a BASE SEQUENCE, or to detect variations in a gene sequence, GENE EXPRESSION, or for GENE MAPPING.Gene Expression Profiling: The determination of the pattern of genes expressed at the level of GENETIC TRANSCRIPTION, under specific circumstances or in a specific cell.Signal Transduction: The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.Connexins: A group of homologous proteins which form the intermembrane channels of GAP JUNCTIONS. The connexins are the products of an identified gene family which has both highly conserved and highly divergent regions. The variety contributes to the wide range of functional properties of gap junctions.Coculture Techniques: A technique of culturing mixed cell types in vitro to allow their synergistic or antagonistic interactions, such as on CELL DIFFERENTIATION or APOPTOSIS.

These organisms are the most extensively studied of all genera from the standpoint of genetics and cytology.Gene Expression Regulation: Any of the processes by which nuclear, cytoplasmic, or intercellular factors influence the differential control (induction or repression) of gene action at the level of transcription or translation.Gene Expression: The phenotypic manifestation of a gene or genes by the processes of GENETIC TRANSCRIPTION and GENETIC TRANSLATION.Animal Communication: Communication between animals involving the giving off by one individual of some chemical or physical signal, that, on being received by another, influences its behavior.Cell Line: Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely.Communication Disorders: Disorders of verbal and nonverbal communication caused by receptive or expressive LANGUAGE DISORDERS, cognitive dysfunction (e.g., MENTAL RETARDATION), psychiatric conditions, and HEARING DISORDERS.Health Communication: The transfer of information from experts in the medical and public health fields to patients and the public. The study and use of communication strategies to inform and influence individual and community decisions that enhance health.Communication Aids for Disabled: Equipment that provides mentally or physically disabled persons with a means of communication. The aids include display boards, typewriters, cathode ray tubes, computers, and speech synthesizers. The output of such aids includes written words, artificial speech, language signs, Morse code, and pictures.Nonverbal Communication: Transmission of emotions, ideas, and attitudes between individuals in ways other than the spoken language.Communication Barriers: Those factors, such as language or sociocultural relationships, which interfere in the meaningful interpretation and transmission of ideas between individuals or groups.Physician-Patient Relations: The interactions between physician and patient.Computer Communication Networks: A system containing any combination of computers, computer terminals, printers, audio or visual display devices, or telephones interconnected by telecommunications equipment or cables: used to transmit or receive information.

The homeobox gene Pitx2: mediator of asymmetric left-right signaling in vertebrate heart and gut looping. (1/8670)

Left-right asymmetry in vertebrates is controlled by activities emanating from the left lateral plate. How these signals get transmitted to the forming organs is not known. A candidate mediator in mouse, frog and zebrafish embryos is the homeobox gene Pitx2. It is asymmetrically expressed in the left lateral plate mesoderm, tubular heart and early gut tube. Localized Pitx2 expression continues when these organs undergo asymmetric looping morphogenesis. Ectopic expression of Xnr1 in the right lateral plate induces Pitx2 transcription in Xenopus. Misexpression of Pitx2 affects situs and morphology of organs. These experiments suggest a role for Pitx2 in promoting looping of the linear heart and gut.  (+info)

oko meduzy mutations affect neuronal patterning in the zebrafish retina and reveal cell-cell interactions of the retinal neuroepithelial sheet. (2/8670)

Mutations of the oko meduzy (ome) locus cause drastic neuronal patterning defect in the zebrafish retina. The precise, stratified appearance of the wild-type retina is absent in the mutants. Despite the lack of lamination, at least seven retinal cell types differentiate in oko meduzy. The ome phenotype is already expressed in the retinal neuroepithelium affecting morphology of the neuroepithelial cells. Our experiments indicate that previously unknown cell-cell interactions are involved in development of the retinal neuroepithelial sheet. In genetically mosaic animals, cell-cell interactions are sufficient to rescue the phenotype of oko meduzy retinal neuroepithelial cells. These cell-cell interactions may play a critical role in the patterning events that lead to differentiation of distinct neuronal laminae in the vertebrate retina.  (+info)

The Gab1 PH domain is required for localization of Gab1 at sites of cell-cell contact and epithelial morphogenesis downstream from the met receptor tyrosine kinase. (3/8670)

Stimulation of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor tyrosine kinase, Met, induces mitogenesis, motility, invasion, and branching tubulogenesis of epithelial and endothelial cell lines in culture. We have previously shown that Gab1 is the major phosphorylated protein following stimulation of the Met receptor in epithelial cells that undergo a morphogenic program in response to HGF. Gab1 is a member of the family of IRS-1-like multisubstrate docking proteins and, like IRS-1, contains an amino-terminal pleckstrin homology domain, in addition to multiple tyrosine residues that are potential binding sites for proteins that contain SH2 or PTB domains. Following stimulation of epithelial cells with HGF, Gab1 associates with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the tyrosine phosphatase SHP2. Met receptor mutants that are impaired in their association with Gab1 fail to induce branching tubulogenesis. Overexpression of Gab1 rescues the Met-dependent tubulogenic response in these cell lines. The ability of Gab1 to promote tubulogenesis is dependent on its pleckstrin homology domain. Whereas the wild-type Gab1 protein is localized to areas of cell-cell contact, a Gab1 protein lacking the pleckstrin homology domain is localized predominantly in the cytoplasm. Localization of Gab1 to areas of cell-cell contact is inhibited by LY294002, demonstrating that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity is required. These data show that Gab1 is an important mediator of branching tubulogenesis downstream from the Met receptor and identify phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the Gab1 pleckstrin homology domain as crucial for subcellular localization of Gab1 and biological responses.  (+info)

p27 is involved in N-cadherin-mediated contact inhibition of cell growth and S-phase entry. (4/8670)

In this study the direct involvement of cadherins in adhesion-mediated growth inhibition was investigated. It is shown here that overexpression of N-cadherin in CHO cells significantly suppresses their growth rate. Interaction of these cells and two additional fibroblastic lines with synthetic beads coated with N-cadherin ligands (recombinant N-cadherin ectodomain or specific antibodies) leads to growth arrest at the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The cadherin-reactive beads inhibit the entry into S phase and the reduction in the levels of cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) inhibitors p21 and p27, following serum-stimulation of starved cells. In exponentially growing cells these beads induce G1 arrest accompanied by elevation in p27 only. We propose that cadherin-mediated signaling is involved in contact inhibition of growth by inducing cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and elevation of p27 levels.  (+info)

Endothelial cells modulate the proliferation of mural cell precursors via platelet-derived growth factor-BB and heterotypic cell contact. (5/8670)

Embryological data suggest that endothelial cells (ECs) direct the recruitment and differentiation of mural cell precursors. We have developed in vitro coculture systems to model some of these events and have shown that ECs direct the migration of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells (10T1/2 cells) and induce their differentiation toward a smooth muscle cell/pericyte lineage. The present study was undertaken to investigate cell proliferation in these cocultures. ECs and 10T1/2 cells were cocultured in an underagarose assay in the absence of contact. There was a 2-fold increase in bromodeoxyuridine labeling of 10T1/2 cells in response to ECs, which was completely inhibited by the inclusion of neutralizing antiserum against platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B. Antisera against PDGF-A, basic fibroblast growth factor, or transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta had no effect on EC-stimulated 10T1/2 cell proliferation. EC proliferation was not influenced by coculture with 10T1/2 cells in the absence of contact. The cells were then cocultured so that contact was permitted. Double labeling and fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis revealed that ECs and 10T1/2 cells were growth-inhibited by 43% and 47%, respectively. Conditioned media from contacting EC-10T1/2 cell cocultures inhibited the growth of both cell types by 61% and 48%, respectively. Although we have previously shown a role for TGF-beta in coculture-induced mural cell differentiation, growth inhibition resulting from contacting cocultures or conditioned media was not suppressed by the presence of neutralizing antiserum against TGF-beta. Furthermore, the decreased proliferation of 10T1/2 cells in the direct cocultures could not be attributed to downregulation of the PDGF-B in ECs or the PDGF receptor-beta in the 10T1/2 cells. Our data suggest that modulation of proliferation occurs during EC recruitment of mesenchymal cells and that heterotypic cell-cell contact and soluble factors play a role in growth control during vessel assembly.  (+info)

Cell surface sialic acid and the regulation of immune cell interactions: the neuraminidase effect reconsidered. (6/8670)

It has been known for over a decade that sialidase (neuraminidase) treatment could substantially enhance the capacity of resting B cells to stimulate the proliferation of allogeneic and antigen specific, syngeneic T cells. Thus, cell-surface sialic acid was implicated as a potential modulator of immune cell interaction. However, little progress has been made in either identifying explicit roles for sialic acid in this system or in hypothesizing mechanisms to explain the "neuraminidase effect." Here we show for the first time that cell surface sialic acid on medium incubated B cells blocks access to costimulatory molecules on the B cell surface, and that this is the most likely explanation for the neuraminidase effect. Further, we show that it is likely to be upregulation of ICAM-1 and its subsequent engagement of LFA-1 rather than loss of cell surface sialic acid that in part regulates access to CD86 and other costimulatory molecules. However, we cannot exclude a role for CD86-bound sialic acid on the B cell in modulating binding to T cell CD28. Because sialidase treatment of resting B cells but not resting T cells enables T cell activation, we suggest that sialidase treatment may still be an analogue for an authentic step in B cell activation, and show that for highly activated B cells (activated with polyclonal anti-IgM plus INF-gamma) there is specific loss 2, 6-linked sialic acid. Potential roles for sialic acid in modulating B cell/T cell collaboration are discussed.  (+info)

Glucocorticoid down-regulation of fascin protein expression is required for the steroid-induced formation of tight junctions and cell-cell interactions in rat mammary epithelial tumor cells. (7/8670)

Glucocorticoid hormones, which are physiological regulators of mammary epithelium development, induce the formation of tight junctions in rat Con8 mammary epithelial tumor cells. We have discovered that, as part of this process, the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone strongly and reversibly down-regulated the expression of fascin, an actin-bundling protein that also interacts with the adherens junction component beta-catenin. Ectopic constitutive expression of full-length mouse fascin containing a Myc epitope tag (Myc-fascin) in Con8 cells inhibited the dexamethasone stimulation of transepithelial electrical resistance, disrupted the induced localization of the tight junction protein occludin and the adherens junction protein beta-catenin to the cell periphery, and prevented the rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton. Ectopic expression of either the carboxyl-terminal 213 amino acids of fascin, which includes the actin and beta-catenin-binding sites, or the amino-terminal 313 amino acids of fascin failed to disrupt the glucocorticoid induction of tight junction formation. Mammary tumor cells expressing the full-length Myc-fascin remained generally glucocorticoid responsive and displayed no changes in the levels or protein-protein interactions of junctional proteins or the amount of cytoskeletal associated actin filaments. However, a cell aggregation assay demonstrated that the expression of Myc-fascin abrogated the dexamethasone induction of cell-cell adhesion. Our results implicate the down-regulation of fascin as a key intermediate step that directly links glucocorticoid receptor signaling to the coordinate control of junctional complex formation and cell-cell interactions in mammary tumor epithelial cells.  (+info)

Novel insights into human endometrial paracrinology and embryo-maternal communication by intrauterine microdialysis. (8/8670)

The regulation of human implantation is still unknown. Evidence from mice suggests an essential role for several paracrine mediators but species differences with implantation in the human preclude the extrapolation of these concepts to humans. An intrauterine microdialysis device (IUMD), consisting of microdialysis tubing glued into a balloon catheter on one side and into a polypropylene tube on the other, allows a dynamic and accurate in-vivo measurement of uterine paracrine interactions in humans. Inserted into the uterine cavity in the form of a loop, it can be continuously perfused with saline to reveal a number of relevant cytokines and growth factors in uterine effluents of non-pregnant women in both follicular and luteal phases. These included interleukin (IL)-1alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), epidermal growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1), prolactin, and human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). The source of intrauterine HCG is unclear since endometrial mRNA for the HCG beta-subunit is not revealed using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis. Applying urinary HCG locally via the IUMD profoundly alters endometrial secretory parameters. Prolactin, IGFBP-1, and M-CSF are significantly inhibited and VEGF is regulated in a biphasic manner involving early stimulation followed by inhibition of intrauterine levels. Use of the IUMD has thus shown that the urinary HCG preparations routinely used for ovulation induction and luteal support may directly alter endometrial function.  (+info)

The Rhomboid family of intramembrane proteases, conserved regulators of cell communicationThe Rhomboid family of intramembrane proteases, conserved regulators of cell communication
The development of multicellular organisms relies heavily on cell communication. Cells send and receive complex sets of signals, harmonising their growth and differentiation with that of other, often distant, cell populations. In animals, the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is an important mediator of cell communication. EGFR activation regulates various developmental events in nematodes, insects and vertebrates. In addition, mutations in human EGFRs have been associated with a number of cancers. In Drosophila, a key event triggering EGFR signalling is the regulated release of the extracellular portion of EGFR ligands. Rhomboid (Rho), an unusual polytopic protease, cleaves the transmembrane, inactive ligand precursor into an active, soluble form. Both the target sequence and Rho s catalytic site are embedded within the membrane bilayer and for this reason the reaction has been described as regulated intramembrane proteolysis. The work presented in this thesis begins with the ...

The regulatory mechanisms of the inflammatory process in the atherosclerotic plaque are still not clearly understood. Stimulated T cells may have a key role in enhancing and perpetuating inflammation at the atherosclerotic site. They activate endothelial cells, macrophages and smooth muscle cells in the atherosclerotic plaque, not only via the production of soluble mediators, but also through cell-cell contact-mediated interactions (via membrane receptors and their ligands). Cell/cell contact between stimulated T lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages and endothelial cells induces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6) and chemokines (interleukin-8, monocyte chemotactic factor-1). Thus, these interactions could play a relevant role in the disregulation of the inflammatory process in the atherosclerotic plaque, representing a novel mechanism of progression and complication of the atherosclerotic disease.

Nerve cell communication mechanisms uncovered, may lead to new therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative diseasesNerve cell communication mechanisms uncovered, may lead to new therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative diseases
How it works: Rebuilding cell theory. Garcias early research disproved a long-standing hypothesis concerning this cellular feature.. Mammals nervous systems are uniquely equipped with myelination, which has been shown to increase conduction velocity, or the speed at which nerve cells pass signals. Low velocity is often associated with neurodegenerative diseases, so research exploring why could later have application in therapeutic technology.. In addition to myelination, cell size makes a big difference in conduction velocity - the bigger the nerve cells, the faster they can pass and receive signals. Garcias findings disproved a hypothesis that related myelination to this phenomenon.. The hypothesis, published in a 1992 edition of Cell, claimed that myelination causes a cellular process called phosphorylation which then causes an increase in the axonal diameter (width of the communicating part of a nerve cell), leading to faster nerve cell communication. Garcia found that myelination did ...

British Library EThOS: Characterisation of HIV-1 Cell-to-Cell Transfer across the Virological Synapse.British Library EThOS: Characterisation of HIV-1 Cell-to-Cell Transfer across the Virological Synapse.
HIV-1 is believed to spread by two mechanisms in an infected host: by cell-free virions and by cell-associated transmission. The mechanisms of HIV-1 cell-to-cell transmission were not well understood until the recent description of the virological synapse (VS). The VS is a specialised supramolecular structure, formed between an infected effector cell and a permissive target cell, to facilitate direct virus infection of the permissive cell. Direct cell-to-cell spread is probably an important mechanism in tissues densely populated with target cells, such as CD4+ T cells in lymph nodes and the GALT. Moreover, VS-mediated viral transfer may help the virus to hide from elements of the immune system, such as neutralising antibodies and complement. Many areas relating to HIV-1 cell-to-cell spread and VS function remain to be explored. Therefore, the aim of the project behind this thesis was to extend our initial molecular characterisation of the supramolecular structure of VS in T cells and to ...

Cell Communication - Causative Agent - ALPF Medical ResearchCell Communication - Causative Agent - ALPF Medical Research
Surface receptors are integral membrane proteins to which certain signal molecules bind. They generally span the cell membrane, connecting the outside of the cell with the inside, enabling the inner workings of the cell to sense and respond to signals outside of the cell. Each surface receptor is specific with respect to the compound or compounds it will bind; a molecule that can bind to a given receptor is called a ligand for that receptor. When a ligand binds to its surface receptor, the internal portion of the receptor becomes modified in some manner, effectively communicating to the cell that the ligand is present. This then elicits some type of response, such as chemotaxis. ■ chemotaxis, p. 65. Cells can alter the types of surface molecules they make, enabling them to respond only to signals that are relevant when the cell is in a certain location or developmental stage. For example, a dendritic cell in the tissues would respond differently to certain stimuli than one that has migrated to ...

Regenerative Medicine, Cell Bilology. With the recent progress in organ transplantation technology and stem-cell research, the practical application of regenerative therapy using stem cell-derivatives has come to public attention. To increase the feasibility of this new concept, however, kinetics and the functional expression of engrafted cells should be strictly controlled in well- organized 3-D tissues. So far, many researches have elucidated part of molecular mechanisms underlying the tissue morphogenesis to accumulate background information for successful cell transplantation. They include: 1) how nascent cells differentiate into functional ones;2) how they establish the proper polarity and the cell-cell junctional apparatus that enable cellular communications,;3) how they arrange functional multicellular structures; and 4) how they determine the overall size and control the shape of the tissue. All such dynamic cellular behaviors are known to be directed by the concerted action of many ...
Impact of the Immune System on the Brain and Mental Health | Side EffectsImpact of the Immune System on the Brain and Mental Health | Side Effects
Most are aware that neurons send neurotransmitter signals to each other in circuits within the brain. My new book, The Secret Language of Cells, shows that similar conversations occur among all the cells in the body and these wide ranging conversations determine all physiological functions. While there are numerous examples of this cellular communication in the book - such as capillary cells sending directional signals for white blood cells to find an infection and capillaries instructing stem cells how to produce particular cells for the brain, this article will focus on a few ways that cellular conversations among immune cells and brain cells affect mental health. Two-way cellular conversations between traveling immune cells and stationary brain cells use signals that are sent as molecules, or molecules inside sacs, that are secreted into tissues, blood vessels, and cerebrospinal fluid. The signals can profoundly affect general cognition and memory, and are highly related to depression and ...

Antigen based immunotherapeutics aim to rehabilitate the immune system and prepare the human body to concur disease. Key factor in this biological process is the immune response via dendritic cells (DCs) that either turn on the immune response or actively dampen unwanted immune inflammation. Current antigen based therapies however still lack an effective response which is potent, antigen specific and durable, and can also rely on a favorable safety profile. Therefore, there is a clear need for improvements in this therapeutic class. GlycoDCTM dendritic cell targeting technology. The core of DC4Us proprietary GlycoDCTM technology is glycation of antigens to which we direct the immune response. Glycans are complex carbohydrate structures that form recognition elements for glycan-specific receptors that, upon recognition, mediate cellular communication.

In a mobile cellular communication system, adjacent basestations BS1-BS4 are assigned different selections of different frequency channels to communicate with mobiles in their cells (10, etc.). To improve system quality and capacity, a basestation selects a frequency channel which is not assigned to it or any neighbour station, and makes test communications on that frequency channel with mobiles (e.g. MS1) in its cell. The basestation assesses the potential performance of that frequency channel, and neighbour basestations can monitor for potential interference on that frequency channel. The information so gathered can be analysed by an operations maintenance station OMC.

Junctional communication is induced in migrating capillary endothelial cells. | JCBJunctional communication is induced in migrating capillary endothelial cells. | JCB
Using an in vitro model in which a confluent monolayer of capillary endothelial cells is mechanically wounded, gap junction-mediated intercellular communication has been studied by loading the cells with the fluorescent dye, Lucifer Yellow. Approximately 40-50% of the cells in a nonwounded confluent monolayer were coupled in groups of four to five cells (basal level). Basal levels of communication were also observed in sparse and preconfluent cultures, but were reduced in postconfluent monolayers. 30 min after wounding, coupling was markedly reduced between cells lining the wound. Communication at the wound was partially reestablished by 2 h, exceeded basal levels after 6 h and reached a maximum after 24 h, at which stage approximately 90% of the cells were coupled in groups of six to seven cells. When the wound had closed (after 8 d), the increase in communication was no longer observed. Induction of wound-associated communication was unaffected by exposure of the cells to the DNA synthesis ...

The researchers believe targeting the mechanism may lead to new therapies for the symptoms of motor neurone disease.. Otago neurobiologist Associate Professor Ian McLennan and his Aberdeen colleagues have discovered that a protein known as transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF-β2) appears to regulate how motor neurons send signals to neighbouring brain cells.. Their findings are newly published in the prestigious US journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).. Associate Professor McLennan says the discovery of the TGF-β2proteins previously invisible role in regulating brain cell communication surprised the team.. "We did not predict this, and the finding fundamentally alters our understanding of how communication between cells in the brains motor system is controlled. It is also likely that this mechanism plays a role in other brain signalling systems.". Historically it was thought that the information flow from cell to cell was controlled by the number of quanta, or ...

1. Segments of mouse pancreatic or exorbital lacrimal gland were superfused with saline solutions. Under visual control two micro-electrodes were inserted into neighbouring cells within the same acinus or into neighbouring acini. Cell to cell electrical coupling was assessed by injecting rectangular current pulses through one electrode and measuring the electrotonic potential change in the same cell (V(1)) and in the neighbouring cell (V(2)). Acetylcholine (ACh) was added locally to impaled acini by micro-ionophoresis from an extracellular micropipette.2. Exposure of the tissues to a Krebs solution equilibrated with 100% CO(2) caused a rapid increase in the size of electrotonic potential changes in the current injection cell and disappearance of the electrotonic potential changes in a neighbouring acinus or cell. This electrical uncoupling of previously coupled cells was rapidly reversible upon return to a solution equilibrated with 95% O(2) and 5% CO(2).3. Reduction of electrical intercellular ...
New mode of cellular communication discovered in the brainNew mode of cellular communication discovered in the brain
16.07.2013 Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have discovered a new form of communication between different cell types in the brain. Nerve cells interact with neighboring glial cells, which results in a transfer of protein and genetic information. Nerve cells are thus protected against stressful growth conditions. The study undertaken by the Mainz-based cell biologists shows how reciprocal communication between the different cell types contributes to neuronal integrity. Their results have been recently published in the journal PLOS Biology. Brain function is determined by the communication between electrically excitable neurons and the surrounding glial cells, which perform many tasks in the brain. Oligodendrocytes are a type of glial cell and these form an insulating myelin sheath around the axons of neurons. In addition to providing this protective insulation, oligodendrocytes also help sustain neurons in other ways that are not yet fully understood. If this support ...

Abstract :. The development and function of multicellular organisms relies on the ordered communication of cells that function in networks and circuits. Our understanding of cellular communication and its physiological consequences hinges on the ability to modulate specific signals while monitoring effects in intact tissues and behaving animals. In our laboratory, we combine synthetic biology and cell biology to modulate the communication between cells and ultimately intervene with physiology. To achieve this goal, we re-engineer molecular components of the mammalian cellular communication machinery, currently in particular those components that control cell survival, to be responsive to new synthetic stimuli. These stimuli are novel ligands or, more recently, light in optogenetics, which offers control in space and time. For instance, we have recently developed receptor tyrosine kinases, such as the receptors for neurotrophic factors or EGF, that are activated by blue or red light in the ...

As the city moved forward with discussions on installing a cellular communications tower near the public works facility last year, Commissioner Ric Gatehouse observed several issues in the ordinance he found objectionable.. The relationship between the city and Monroe became brittle and shattered at one point, with Monroe withdrawing - saying he would take his ordinance with him.. Monroe said the city had no rights to use his ordinance without agreeing to pay exclusive application review fees to his company, as per the original agreement outlined in his ordinance.. Gatehouse initially wanted the ordinance ...

We have identified the liver-regulating protein (LRP), a cell surface protein involved in the maintenance of hepatocyte differentiation when cocultured with rat liver epithelial cells (RLEC). LRP was defined by immunoreactivity to a monoclonal antibody (mAb L8) prepared from RLEC. mAb L8 specifically detected two polypeptides of 85 and 73 kD in immunoprecipitation of both hepatocyte- and RLEC-iodinated plasma membranes. The involvement of these polypeptides, which are integral membrane proteins, in cell interaction-mediated regulation of hepatocytes was assessed by evaluating the perturbing effects of the antibody on cocultures with RLEC. Several parameters characteristic of differentiated hepatocytes were studied, such as liver-specific and house-keeping gene expression, cytoskeletal organization and deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). An early cytoskeletal disturbance was evidenced and a marked alteration of hepatocyte functional capacity was observed in the presence of the antibody, ...
Search Results for tumour cell-tumour cell communication | SciendoSearch Results for "tumour cell-tumour cell communication" | Sciendo
The review describes the role of cells of extracellular matrix (ECM) as a source of neoplastic outgrowths additional to the original tumour. The cells undergo a spontaneous transformation or stimulation by the original tumour through intercellular signals, e.g. through Shh protein (sonic hedgehog). Additionally, cells of an inflammatory infiltrate, which frequently accompany malignant tumours and particularly carcinomas, may regulate tumour cell behaviour. This is either by restricting tumour proliferation or, inversely, by induction and stimulation of the proliferation of another tumour cell type, e.g. mesenchymal cells. The latter type of tumour may involve formation of histologically differentiated stromal tumours (GIST), which probably originate from interstitial cells of Cajal in the alimentary tract. Occasionally, e.g. in gastric carcinoma, proliferation involves lymphoid follicles and lymphocytes of GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue), which gives rise to lymphoma. The process is ...

Integrins are a family of transmembrane receptors that mediate adhesion of cells to extracellular matrices, as well as intercellular interactions. These interactions transduce signals that control complex cell functions such as proliferation, differentiation, and survival, and require the regulation of gene expression. Integrins are heterodimeric glycoprotein receptors and exist as non-covalently bound α and β subunits. The integrin αV/β5 heterodimer is found on many types of tissue cells, such as epithelial cells, endothelial cells, keratinocytes, and osteoblastic cells. It is a receptor for fibronectin and vitronectin and acts as a receptor for adenovirus type C. Additional information: Clone REA718 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. - Lëtzebuerg

Effective method for correcting various CNS pathologies developing under oxygen deficiency - Lobachevsky UniversityEffective method for correcting various CNS pathologies developing under oxygen deficiency - Lobachevsky University
Hypoxia is a key factor that accompanies most brain pathologies, including ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases. Reduced oxygen concentration results in irreversible changes in nerve cell metabolism that entails cell death and destruction of intercellular interactions. Since neural networks are responsible for the processing, storage and transmission of information in the brain, the loss of network elements can lead to dysfunction of the central nervous system and, consequently, the development of neurological deficiency and the patients severe disability.. This is the reason why the worlds neurobiological community is currently involved in an active search for compounds that can prevent the death of nerve cells and support their functional activity under stress..

The purpose of this study was to examine student influence upon the teacher within the context of a bidirectional model of interaction. The possibility of using the teachers motivational structure as a means of explaining and predicting the occurence of student influence was also considered. -- The theoretical framework for the study was developed from a review of the literature. The key components of the model were: the teachers predispositions, including their motivational structure, the objective situation, and the definition of the situation. Presumably, the teachers behavior would be controlled by their definition of the situation, which would be a function of the predispositional structure and the objective situation. -- The interaction between the teacher and the students in three elementary classrooms was studied. These teachers were chosen from a sample of 54 teachers, who had first been categorized into three groups, on the basis of a Q-Sort. Thus, there was one teacher to represent ...

In the present work, we report evidence that in addition to its role on the proliferation of pancreatic progenitor cells, the mesenchyme is crucial in controlling the timing of pancreatic β-cell differentiation. When we cultured rat embryonic pancreatic epithelium in the absence of its surrounding mesenchyme, we found that Ngn3 expression was turned on rapidly and then turned off a few days later, in keeping with the reported in vivo pattern (15,25). Our filter-separation experiments indicate that the mesenchyme-induced delay in Ngn3 induction requires direct contact between the epithelium and the mesenchyme. This result fits in with recent data indicating that direct cell-cell contact between epithelial and mesenchymal cells suppresses β-cell formation (26). We also found that Ngn3 expression occurred far earlier without mesenchyme, within a few hours compared with 3 days with mesenchyme either in vitro or in vivo. This acceleration in Ngn3 induction resembles the pancreatic phenotype of mice ...
Wonky Waves Allow Cancer Cells To Spread - ScienceAGoGoWonky Waves Allow Cancer Cells To Spread - ScienceAGoGo
The waves are said to be produced in direct response to the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF), and last approximately 10 - 20 minutes before vanishing. Wave cells have become a hot topic of late, as researchers suspect that they play an important role in the transmission and regulation of normal cellular communication.. Under normal circumstances, waves are responsible for selectively collecting growth-promoting proteins and directing them into the inner structure of the cell. This process results in a reorganization of the cells outer infrastructure, where it forms a flexible foot-like structure (lamellipodia) which then allows the cell to move and dock with corresponding epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR). Usually, the wave neutralizes or moderates the internalized growth protein, but in cancer cells, where the wave is either malfunctioning or not present, metastatic cancer occurs as a result of unregulated EGF and EGFR interaction.. "These findings have broad implications ...

Signal transduction is the molecular basis for cellular communication. Complex networks of intracellular molecules enable cells to receive signals from their environment and to modify their behavior in response to these signals. Signaling molecules are interconnected, and depending on how they are linked together they can form different types of networks. We have recently described a novel network of proteins that becomes activated by increases in cell sodium permeability and that regulates active sodium transport. Because each component of this sodium-sensing network so far described have been independently associated with multiple and essential cell functions, our work on the network topology and modeling is of importance because it will help us to understand the networks role and complexity when transforming the sodium signal into transcription activation and gene expression leding to changes in myocardial- and/or renal cells growth.. Also, understanding the function and relevance of the ...

Embedded Vision Insights: March 1, 2012 EditionEmbedded Vision Insights: March 1, 2012 Edition
Dear Colleague,. As I write these words, the Mobile World Congress show is underway in Barcelona, Spain. At this yearly event, one of the most important cellular communications conferences, mobile handset and tablet manufacturers and their service provider partners reveal their latest and greatest offerings. And alongside them are the silicon and software providers, unveiling next-generation system building blocks which they hope will show up in handsets and tablets at next years MWC.. One of the biggest announcements coming out of this years show, at least so far, is Nokias model 808 PureView phone. Ive written many times in recent months about the potential for cameraphones to render standalone cameras obsolete, as well as about the notable embedded vision development potential implied in the burgeoning still and video image capture capabilities of mobile electronics devices. Although the Nokia 808 will probably not sell in large quantities, due both to its fairly high price point (450 ...

Refubium - Localized signaling and communication during yeast matingRefubium - Localized signaling and communication during yeast mating
Communication between cells within the same population is an essential requirement for the dynamic adaptation of a cellular phenotype to other individuals in the same population. This thesis studies the pheromone response of budding yeast, a prototypical eukaryotic signaling pathway employing cell- cell communication. We developed a non-invasive assay to directly quantify extracellular concentrations of signaling molecules in vivo. This assay was used to show that budding yeast cells actively regulate their extracellular pheromone profile in order to divide the population into growing and diploid- forming cells. This allows the population to execute a "division of labor", where diploids are selectively formed in spots with a high local cell density, whereas the remaining areas remain in a continued mitosis of haploid cells. Furthermore, I present computational results mapping distinct parts of the pheromone signaling cascade to dynamic functions. By using stochastic mathematical modeling I show ...

Chip boffins hone silicon-brain interface • The RegisterChip boffins hone silicon-brain interface • The Register
In 1991, Fromhertz and company managed to get a simple electronic/ionic dialog going on between a silicon capacitor and a slug neuron - and when we say simple, we mean very, very simple: An electron-carrying signal was sent from a silicon-based capacitor, through an electrolyte, and across a 5nm cell membrane where it induced an ionic channel in the membrane that caused a replication of the pulse of the trigger signal from the chip.. If that last sentence confused you, dont fret - its both a complex concept to explain and a gross oversimplification of the methods used. The basic take-away: The chip could talk to the cell, and vice-versa. Not that they could say much. But, hey, you have to crawl before you can walk, right?. Importantly, Fromherzs chip/cell communication could be conducted with no corrosive nor electrochemical damage to either the chip or the cell. However, that slug-neuron success was the only giant step in the development of a chip/cell interface for 17 years. It was only ...
Imaging may reveal potential new targets for Multiple Sclerosis therapiesImaging may reveal potential new targets for Multiple Sclerosis therapies
Investigators anticipate that cellular imaging techniques in a multiple sclerosis mouse model will enable them to identify the signaling that drives immune cell infiltration and inflammation in autoimmune multiple sclerosis (MS) and assess whether this signaling can be disrupted. MS is an autoimmune disease in which the bodys immune cells mistake nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system, CNS) as foreign and attack them. The immune cells produce inflammation that destroys myelin, which is the fatty sheath that insulates nerve cell axons (the cells communication cables) and interrupts messages traveling from one nerve cell to another. Researchers have found that a molecule called "S1P" drives this inflammatory process in MS. The molecule signals immune cells to travel to the CNS and attack. A drug called Gilenya that blocks S1P signaling was recently approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration to treat MS. While Gilenya is extremely effective in treating MS ...

The research in our group focuses on the structural biochemistry and biophysics of membrane proteins. Membrane proteins perform most of the important processes in all living cells. For example, respiration, photosynthesis, cell communication, cell import/export, cell growth and recognition are catalyzed and regulated by membrane proteins. These proteins do not act in an isolated way; they rather perform communication within the cell by binding and releasing of cofactors and soluble signal-transducing proteins. Membrane proteins are also key player in infectious diseases as they mediate entry of viral and bacterial pathogens into the host cell and also play an important role in the cell defense against the pathogens.. The main step for the elucidation of the complex in whole living cells is the understanding of the structure, dynamics and function of the membrane proteins that play the key role in these processes. Our research field is of a very interdisciplinary nature and includes biochemical ...

Age-related cognitive decline tied to immune-system molecule A blood-borne molecule that increases in abundance as we age blocks regeneration of brain cells and promotes cognitive decline. The molecule in question, known as beta-2 microglobulin, or B2M, is a component of a larger molecule called MHC I, which plays a major role in the adaptive immune system. A growing body of research indicates that the B2M-MHC I complex, which is present in all cells in the body except red blood cells and plasma cells, can act in the brain in ways not obviously related to immunity--guiding brain development, shaping nerve cell communication, and even affecting behavior ...

  • Some of these patients are now more than two years post transplant and by imaging show no sign of abnormal cell reaction or tumor formation, according to the company. (ucsf.edu)
  • The milieu created by tumor-associated cells may either support or halt tumor progression. (frontiersin.org)
Tissue9
  • The universality for all these variants of tissue P systems is then proved by using two cells (three cells in the case of unidirectional communication) and rules of a minimal size. (springer.com)
  • Bernardini F, Gheorghe M (2004) Cell communication in tissue P systems and cell division in population P systems. (springer.com)
  • This serves to synchronize either the metabolic or electrotonic functions of cells within a tissue. (nih.gov)
  • Cell-to-cell communication was investigated in epidermal cells cut from stem internodal tissue of Nicotiana tabacum and Torenia fournieri. (nih.gov)
  • Molecular communication allows networking of nanomachines and potentially enables new applications in various domains including health (e.g., nanomedicine and tissue engineering), the environment (e.g., monitoring and quality control), ICT (Information Communication Technology)(e.g., implantable biological sensors and actuator networks), and military situations (e.g., biochemical sensing). (igi-global.com)
  • The long-term goal of both studies is to see if the cells - while used differently in each disease - promote function in damaged nerve tissue. (ucsf.edu)
  • Cells from fatty tissue which are tightly packed. (ku.dk)
  • Immune cells constantly circulate in the body in search of pathogens or tissue damage. (sciencemag.org)
  • Despite considerable differences in cell size and length of cell cycle among some of the species, the transplants gave rise to fully differentiated clones that were integrated into the host tissue. (biologists.org)

  • Scientists are continuing to study the process of communications between plant cells. (gardenguides.com)
  • A group of scientists led by Professor Andy Maule at the John Innes Centre discovered that plants create complex and highly regulated structures called plasmodesmata that act as tunnels from one plant cell to another. (gardenguides.com)
  • Scientists around the world study these cells to be able to use them for medical applications in the future. (nanowerk.com)
  • Scientists at the GIS and MPIMG studied which genetic information is activated in the cell, and thereby discovered a network for molecular communication in hESCs. (nanowerk.com)
  • Professor J oel Voldman , working with EECS graduate student Burak Dura and others from Whitehead Institute and Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new device that allows scientists to follow communication between immune cells. (mit.edu)
  • Read more in the January 13, 2015 MIT News Office article by Anne Trafton titled "Watching how cells interact - New device allows scientists to glimpse communication between immune cells," also posted below. (mit.edu)
