Gi-Coupled GPCR Signaling Controls the Formation and Organization of Human Pluripotent Colonies

TL;DR: Experiments with pertussis toxin suggest that Gi signaling plays a critical role in the morphology and organization of pluripotent colonies, and may be explained by a Gi-mediated density-sensing mechanism that propels the cells radially outward.
Journal ArticleDOI

Golgi-associated microtubules are fast cargo tracks and required for persistent cell migration.

TL;DR: The role of Golgi MTs is unveiled in serving as a group of “fast tracks” for anterograde trafficking of post‐Golgi cargos and is demonstrated to be essential for persistent cell migration but not for cells to change direction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reinforcing the Functionality of Mononuclear Phagocyte System to Control Tuberculosis.

TL;DR: The strategies to bolster the function of MPS by exploiting the molecules associated with the innate immunity are discussed and the mechanisms involved to overcome the Mtb-induced suppression of host immunity are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

G Protein-Coupled Receptors Directly Bind Filamin A with High Affinity and Promote Filamin Phosphorylation

TL;DR: It is proposed that the GPCR-induced filamin phosphorylation pathway is a conserved, novel biochemical signaling paradigm, and the data suggest a molecular mechanism for direct G PCR–cytoskeleton coupling via filamin.
Journal ArticleDOI

G protein coupled receptors signaling pathways implicate in inflammatory and immune response of rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: GPCRs–AC–cAMP signal pathways involve in the inflammatory and immune response of RA, and the potential therapeutic targets and strategies to modulate GPCRs signaling pathway are new development trends.

Involvement of chemokine receptors in breast cancer metastasis.

TL;DR: It is reported that the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7 are highly expressed in human breast cancer cells, malignant breast tumours and metastases and their respective ligands CXCL12/SDF-1α and CCL21/6Ckine exhibit peak levels of expression in organs representing the first destinations of breast cancer metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho GTPases in cell biology.

TL;DR: Rho GTPases are molecular switches that control a wide variety of signal transduction pathways in all eukaryotic cells and their ability to influence cell polarity, microtubule dynamics, membrane transport pathways and transcription factor activity is probably just as significant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 GTPases regulate the assembly of multimolecular focal complexes associated with actin stress fibers, lamellipodia, and filopodia

TL;DR: It is reported here that cdc42, another member of the rho family, triggers the formation of a third type of actin-based structure found at the cell periphery, filopodia, in addition to stress fibers, and rho controls the assembly of focal adhesion complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The small GTP-binding protein rac regulates growth factor-induced membrane ruffling.

TL;DR: It is proposed that rac and rho are essential components of signal transduction pathways linking growth factors to the organization of polymerized actin and that growth factors act through rac to stimulate this rho-dependent response.
