  1. 11. Smad7 in TGF-β Signalling

    Författare :Greger Brodin; Stefan Karlsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; TGF-β; Smad7; Prostate; Transcription; Gene targeting; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Sammanfattning : Members of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of growth and differentiation factors regulate a vast array of biological functions in the adult, and are of great importance in governing cell fate determination and patterning in the developing embryo. The TGF-β signal is propagated intracellularly by Smad proteins resulting in transcriptional responses. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Understanding the Noise : Spliceosomal snRNA Profiling

    Författare :Lei Liu Conze; Anders Virtanen; Lars Wieslander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ncRNA; snRNA; U1; splice site; alternative splicing; high-throughput sequencing; 454; SNP; Molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Sammanfattning : The concept of the gene has been constantly challenged by new discoveries in the life sciences. Recent challenging observations include the high frequency of alternative splicing events and the common transcription of non-protein-coding-RNAs (ncRNAs) from the genome. The latter has long been considered noise in biological systems. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Signal Transduction by Proline-Rich Tyrosine Kinase Pyk2

    Författare :Inga Dikic; Olli Silvennoinen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Onkologi; Protein phosphorylation; tyrosine kinase; Pyk2 FAK; neuronal differentiation; Ras MAP kinase pathway; Oncology; Onkologi; molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Sammanfattning : The proline-rich tyrosine kinase (Pyk2) together with focal adhesion kinase (FAK) define a family of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases that are regulated by diverse stimuli. Activation of Pyk2 has been implicated in multiple signaling events, including modulation of ion channels, activation of MAP kinase cascades and apoptotic cell death. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Mechanisms for TGF-β-Mediated Regulation of the Actin Filament System and Apoptosis

    Författare :Sofia Edlund; Pontus Aspenström; Maréne Landström; Tommy Andersson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; TGF-beta; cytoskeleton; GTPases; mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3; TGF-beta-activated kinase 1; Apoptosis; Smad7; beta-catenin; p38 MAPK; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Sammanfattning : Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a member of a large superfamily of cytokines which participate in many different types of cellular processes, such as growth inhibition, cell migration, differentiation, cell adhesion, wound healing and immunosuppression. Alterations of TGF-β superfamily signalling results in several different disorders, including bone disease, vascular disease and cancer. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Specific signaling through heteromeric PDGF receptor complexes

    Författare :Simon Ekman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Sammanfattning : Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent mitogen and chemoattractant for mesenchymal cells and exert its effect by binding to two structurally related receptor tyrosine kinases, denoted α- and β-receptors. PDGF binding induces dimerization of its receptors, both homo-and heterodimerization, leading to their autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues and binding of downstream signaling molecules. LÄS MER
