CONTENT Introduction of cell signaling Its need Brief history Types of cell signaling- Autocrine Paracrine Endocrine Recapitulation Review article using types of cell signaling Reference
CELL SIGNALLING- (Brief H istory) In 1970, Martin Rodbell  examined effects of glucagon  on rat's liver cell membrane receptor . He revealed about guanosine triphosphate  and stimulated G-protein role in cell's metabolism .
AUTOCRINE cells respond to substances which they themselves release and thus changes takes place in the cell itself
EXAMPLE:- Tumour cells release growth factors for their own survival and proliferation
ENDOCRINE Signaling over long distance Signal molecules(hormones) secreted by glands Bloodstream carries hormones far and wide may lie anywhere in the body
EXAMPLE:- Epinephrine - amino acid derivative(of tyrosine) hydrophilic signaling molecule (bind to G protein coupled receptor) Released from Adrenal medulla
FUNCTION- Glycogen breakdown Gluconeogenesis (glucose from pyruvate)
Glycogen breakdown Glycolysis(more ATP) Beta Oxidation (breakdown of fatty acid for energy) Acts on MUSCLE cells to make ATP-
FIGHT OR FLIGHT (The physiological response to a threatening situation, which readies one either to resist forcibly or to run away ) Muscle needs energy! So liver makes glucose and muscle breaks glucose down to ATP. Available for use to fight and flight.
7TM receptor(serpentine receptor) Made up of single polypeptide
PARACRINE S ignaling molecules released by a secretory cell affect only those target cells in close proximity
For paracrine signals to act locally , secreted molecules must not be allowed to diffuse to far. Rapidly taken up by neighboring target cells or immobilized by ECM.
EXAMPLES:- conduction by a neurotransmitter of a signal from one nerve cell to another or from a nerve cell to a muscle cell Mostly studies neurotransmitters-
NEURO-MUSCULAR JUNCTION
Chemically gated receptors or Ion channel receptors
ION GATED CHANNEL Fundamental task of neuron-to receive, conduct, transmit signals. Neurons are excitable cells, have ability to respond to stimulus by producing an electrical signal. Nerve impulse propagates at speed ranging from 0.5 to 130 ms.
REVIEW ARTICLE Autocrine insulin-like growth factor-I signaling promotes growth survival of human acute myeloid leukemia cells via the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/ Akt pathway role for autocrine IGF-I signaling in the growth and survival of primary AML cells. IGF-IR inhibitors in combination with chemotherapeutic agents may represent a novel approach to target human AML(Acute myeloid leukemia)
RECAPITULATE AUTOCRINE CELL SIGNALING- normal cell ,cancer cell ENDOCRINE CELL SIGNALING- epinephrine, GPCR, G protein, adenylate cyclase, cAMP fight and flight response PARACRINE CELL SIGNALING- Neurotransmitter, neuro-muscular transmitter, ion gated channels
