3 | ERK-signaaltransductieroute in het ruggenmerg |
|
spinal ERK pathway ERK-signaaltransductieroute in het ruggenmerg Explanation: In zoogdieren zijn tot op heden 14 mapk-genen geïdentificeerd. Eén van de best gekarakteriseerde MAPK-signaaltransductiemodules is die van de Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinases 1 en (ERK1/ERK2). De belangrijkste doelstelling van de studie die in dit proefschrift wordt beschreven, is het begrijpen van het activeringsmechanisme en de functie van ERK1 en ERK2 tijdens ontwikkelingsprocessen, zoals celmigratie en celdifferentiatie. Om de activering en functie van ERK1 en ERK2 te onderzoeken hebben wij gebruik gemaakt van embryonale zebraviscelculturen en zebravisembryo’s. Uit onze resultaten bleek dat stimulatie van gekweekte zebraviscellen met CO’s leidt tot een transiente activatie van ERK1 en ERK2, met een maximum dat bereikt werd 15 minuten na toediening. Daarnaast hebben wij ook de signaaltransductieroute die leidt tot activatie van ERK1 en ERK2 door COstimulatie bestudeerd. Wij concluderen dat er een receptorsysteem met een hoge affiniteit voor dit oligosaccharide moet bestaan, dat na binding een signaal doorgeeft via de ERK-signaaltransductieroute, bestaande uit RAF, MEK en ERK. https://openaccess.leidenuniv.nl/bitstream/handle/1887/12348... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 57 mins (2014-12-22 19:08:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here you can see that this pathway can be manipulated at spinal and supraspinal level: Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), a mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), transduces a broad range of extracellular stimuli into diverse intracellular responses. Recent studies have showed that ERK activation in the supraspinal level iis involved in the development of drug dependence, especially in psychological dependence. In this study, we reported that the spinal ERK signaling pathway was activated by chronic morphine injection. There was a further increase in ERK activation after naloxone-precipitated withdrawal. Furthermore, attenuation of the spinal ERK phosphorylation by intrathecal a MAPK kinase (MEK) inhibitor U0126 or knockdown of the spinal ERK by antisense oligonucleotides not only decreased the scores of morphine withdrawal, but also attenuated withdrawal-induced allodynia, which were accompanied by decreased ERK phosphorylation in the spinal cord. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304395905... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2014-12-22 19:45:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another two related links: The ERK Signal Transduction Pathway http://www.rndsystems.com/mini_review_detail_objectname_MR04... The MAPK/ERK pathway (also known as the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK pathway) is a chain of proteins in the cell that communicates a signal from a receptor on the surface of the cell to the DNA in the nucleus of the cell. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAPK/ERK_pathway -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day22 hrs (2014-12-24 16:47:54 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Merry Christmas, Marloes. :-) |
