  1. 6. Molecular targets for glucocorticoids in macrophages: cytosolic phospholipase A2 and cytokine formation

    Författare :Karin Gewert; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pharmacognosy; Pharmacological sciences; signal transduction; dexamethasone; cytosolic phospholipase A2; glucocorticoids; macrophages; protein kinase C; mitogen-activated protein kinases; TNF-alpha; IL-1beta; protein phosphatases; okadaic acid; pharmacy; toxicology; Farmakologi; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this investigation has been to study mechanisms by which glucocorticoids inhibit inflammatory processes in vitro. Type IV cytosolic 85 kDa phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) is an important modulator of inflammatory responses that is present in macrophages as well as in other cell types. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Global Regulation of Snf1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: A case study of experimental systems biology

    Författare :Jie Zhang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; AMP-activated protein kinase AMPK ; glucose derepression; energy homeostasis; target of rapamycin complex 1 TORC1 ; catabolite repression; Snf1;

    Sammanfattning : Cells commonly face environmental changes and have evolved various regulatory mechanisms to adjust their metabolism accordingly. One such key regulator in S. cerevisiae is the Snf1 kinase, which belongs to the conserved AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) family in all eukaryotes. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Regulation of prostaglandin E2 synthesis in human gingival fibroblasts

    Författare :Tülay Yucel-Lindberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :prostaglandin E2; cyclooxygenase; phospholipase A2 interleukin-1; tumor necrosis factor [alpha]; epidermal growth factor; protein kinase C; tyrosine kinases; human gingival fibroblasts;

    Sammanfattning : Prostaglandins, especially, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) play an important role in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis. The aim of the present thesis was to study the production and the regulation of PGE2 with special reference to the key enzymes phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and cyclooxygenase (COX) at the rnRNA level in human gingival fibroblasts.

  5. 9. Metabolic signals in the regulation of insulin release

    Författare :Jude T Deeney; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :insulin-secreting cells; glucose metabolism; ATP ADP ratio; cytoplasmic free Ca2 concentration; long-chain acyl-CoA; protein kinase C; insulin secretion; serotonin release; permeabilized cells; intracellular Ca2 handling; exocytosis;

    Sammanfattning : In the present thesis, an attempt was made to elucidate the role of some of the glucose-induced intracellular metabolic effector signals in insulin secretion and to develop new applications that will enable further investigations of oscillatory signalling and secretion from pancreatic ß-cells. The sequence of early metabolic and ionic events was examined in clonal pancreatic insulin secreting cells (HIT) in response to glucose stimulation. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Signaling capacity of ß2-integrins in relations to neutrophil motility

    Författare :Ragnhild Löfgren; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Sammanfattning : The neutrophil granulocyte is one of the most mobile cell types in the human body and represents the first line of defense against invading pathogens. Adhesion and chemotactic receptors on the cell surface work together through modulations of the cytoskeleton and thereby cause the cell to move. LÄS MER
