Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) display a number of receptors for efficient uptake of potentially injurious molecules. The receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies (Fcβ₯Rs) regulate a number of physiological and pathophysiological events. We used reverse transcript

Catecholamine (CAT) secretion by adrenal chromaffin cells is primarily triggered by nicotinic receptor-dependent increases in cytosolic Ca(2+). The principal aim of the present study was to determine whether pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP), which is coreleased with acetylcholi
Retinoids have great promise in the area of cancer therapy and chemoprevention. These natural and synthetic derivatives of vitamin A have been shown to play an important role in regulating cell differentiation and proliferation. While all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) has been demonstrated to inhibit t
The cytotoxic action of the β₯-isomer of hexachlorocyclohexane (β₯-HCH, lindane) was studied in cultured mouse cerebellar granule neurons maintained in the presence or absence of the GABA A receptor agonist THIP (4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo[5,4-c]pyridin-3ol). The cells were exposed for 24 hr to linda
In cultured foreskin fibroblasts, bradykinin stimulates inositol phosphate generation, arachidonic acid release, and N a + / H + exchange, with doses of 1-3 n M yielding half-maximal stimulation. Binding of 'H-bradykinin to these cells demonstrates a single receptor site with a Kd of 2.0 n M and a B
Neurotrophins play an essential role in sensory development by providing trophic support to neurons that innervate peripheral targets. Nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3, neurotrophin-4, and brain-derived neurotrophin exert their survival effect by binding to two transmembrane receptor types:
