Phosphatidylinositol-4-monophosphate and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate increased the activity of the vanadate-sensitive ATPase associated with plasma membranes isolated from both sunflower hypocotyls and carrot suspension culture cells. The response was not due to the metabolism of the polyphosphoinositides since diacylglycerol, inositol-1,4-bisphosphate, inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate, glycerophosphoinositol monophosphate and glycerophosphoinositol bisphosphate had no effect. These data suggest that activation of the inositol phospholipid kinases could be a critical step in signal transduction in plants.

The NF-kappa B target genes ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 are differentially regulated during spontaneous differentiation of Caco-2 cells
Astarci, Erhan; Sade, Asli; Cimen, Ismail; SAVAŞ, BERNA; Banerjee, Sreeparna (Wiley, 2012-08-01)
Intestinal epithelial differentiation entails the formation of highly specialized cells with specific absorptive, secretory, digestive and immune functions. Cellcell and cellmicroenvironment interactions appear to be crucial in determining the outcome of the differentiation process. Using the Caco-2 cell line, which undergoes spontaneous re-differentiation when grown past confluency, we observed a loss of VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule 1) mRNA expression, while ICAM-1 (intercellular cell adhesion m...
Vitamin E Decreases the Order of the Phospholipid Model Membranes in the Gel Phase: An FTIR Study
Severcan, Feride (Portland Press Ltd., 1997-4-1)
The effect of α-tocopherol on the frequency of the CH2 stretching bands of infrared spectra of dipalmitoylphosphotidylcholine multibilayers has been investigated, both in H2O and 2H2O buffer, to determine the reason for the discrepancy in the literature between the results of different spectroscopic techniques relating to the effect of α-tocopherol on membrane order in the gel phase. In contrast to previous FTIR studies, the present FTIR results indicate that αT increases the frequencies of the CH2 stretchi...
Immunotherapeutic applications of CpG ODN
Gürsel, Mayda (2006-06-01)
Bacterial DNA and synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) expressing unmethylated CpG motifs stimulate the mammalian immune system to mount a rapid innate immune response. This response is characterized by the production of polyreactive IgM, immunomodulatory cytokines and chemokines. CpG ODN directly stimulate lymphocytes, natural killer cells and professional antigen-presenting cells (such as macrophages and dendritic cells). Owing to the strength and nature of this stimulation, CpG ODN are being harnessed f...
NOS1-derived nitric oxide facilitates macrophage uptake of low-density lipoprotein.
Roy, A; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Saqib, U; Baig, MS (Wiley, 2019-02-25)
Foam cell formation is a hallmark event during atherosclerosis. The current paradigm is that lipid uptake by a scavenger receptor in macrophages initiates necrosis core formation that characterizes atherosclerosis. We report that NOS1‐derived nitric oxide (NO) facilitates low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake by macrophages independent of the inflammatory response. LDL uptake could be dramatically suppressed by NOS1 specific inhibitor 1‐(2‐trifluoromethylphenyl) imidazole (TRIM). Importantly, the notion that...
NEUROSECRETORY-CELLS WITH SYNAPTOID PERIKARYA IN HELIX - A DEFINITIVE DESCRIPTION OF SECRETORY RELEASE FROM THE SOMATA OF ENDOCRINE NEURONS
BAYRAKTAROGLU, E; WHITTLE, AC; GOLDING, DW (Elsevier BV, 1988-01-01)
Neurosecretory cells in the molluses Helix have perikarya that show clear signs of adaptation for both the synthesis and the discharge of secretory material. They are characterized morphologically by juxtaposition with the neural lamella. Passage of hormone into the haemocoel is apparently facilitated in many cases by the extreme attenuation of areas of the lamella and perineurium adjacent to the perikarya and by other forms of histological differentiation. Presumptive sites of release are characterized by ...
