  1. 1. Regulation of organelle Ca²+ in individual pancreatic β-cells

    Författare :Anders Tengholm; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; pancreatic b-cell; inracellular Ca2 stores; furaptra; endoplasmic reticulum; digitonin; a toxin; glucose; ATP; thapsigargin; inositol 1; 4; 5-trisphosphate; ryanodine receptors; cyclic ADP ribose; nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Cell Biology;

    Sammanfattning : The Ca2+ion plays a fundamental role in the control of a variety of cellular functions, including insulinsecretion from pancreatic β-cells. Whereas the concentration of free Ca2+ in the cytoplasm ([Ca2+]i) ismaintained at low levels (5O-100 nM), some organelles contain high concentrations of the ion. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Epac2 signaling at the β-cell plasma membrane

    Författare :Ida Alenkvist; Anders Tengholm; Olga Göransson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; β-cell; insulin secretion; cAMP; Ca2 ; Epac; Rap; exocytosis; sulfonylurea; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Secretion of appropriate amounts of insulin from pancreatic β-cells is crucial for glucose homeostasis. The β-cells release insulin in response to glucose and other nutrients, hormones and neurotransmitters, which trigger intracellular signaling cascades, that result in exocytotic fusion of insulin-containing vesicles with the plasma membrane.

  4. 3. Oscillatory Signaling and Insulin Secretion from Single ß-cells

    Författare :Olof Idevall Hagren; Anders Tengholm; Erik Gylfe; Leslie Satin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cAMP; Ca2 ; oscillations; beta-cell; insulin secretion; evanescent wave microscopy; PIP3; PKA; Epac; Medical cell biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : cAMP and Ca2+ are key regulators of exocytosis in many cells, including insulin-secreting pancreatic β-cells. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from β-cells is pulsatile and driven by oscillations of the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), but little is known about the kinetics of cAMP signaling and the mechanisms of cAMP action.

  5. 4. Studies on molecular mechanisms in calcium signaling and cellular energy consumption

    Författare :Kalaiselvan Krishnan; Hjalmar Brismar; Anders Tengholm; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :ca2 signaling; ATP; PercevalHR; NKA; diabetes; Angiotensin; Biological Physics; Biologisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Ion signaling plays fundamental role in cell survival. Na+ and Ca2+ are critical players in ion signaling. Cells spend the major amount of energy to maintain and regulate Na+ and Ca2+ gradients across the cell membrane. Any disruption in cellular energy consumption by plasma membrane ATPases affects ion signaling and vice versa. LÄS MER

  7. 5. ATP Dynamics in Pancreatic α- and β-cells

    Författare :Jia Li; Anders Tengholm; Erik Gylfe; Hindrik Mulder; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ATP; Ca2 ; β-cell; α-cell; SERCA; SOCE; muscarinic receptor; insulin secretion; glucagon secretion; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Glucose metabolism in pancreatic α- and β-cells is believed to regulate secretion of glucagon and insulin, respectively. In β-cells, ATP links glucose metabolism to electrical activity and insulin secretion. LÄS MER
