Biology of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans. 细胞表面硫酸肝素蛋白聚糖的生物学研究。

{"title":"Biology of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans.","authors":"M Jalkanen","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The central question in cell biology is how cells detect, interact and respond to extracellular matrix. The cell surface molecules, which mediate this recognition, consist of a lipophilic membrane domain and an ectodomain binding matrix materials. One group of this kind of molecules is the cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG). This review summarizes recent information obtained on the cell surface PG of mouse mammary epithelial cells. The glycosaminoglycan containing ectodomain of this PG binds with high affinity Type I, III and V collagen fibrils and the C-terminal heparin binding domain of fibronectin. The PG is mobile on the cell surface, but can be immobilised by ligand binding. At the same time the PG associates with cytoskeleton and links the epithelial cytoskeleton to extracellular matrix. Thus the PG can mediate the changes in the matrix into changes in cellular behaviour, often seen during the regulation of cell shape, proliferation and differentiation. The cell surface PG is also released from the cell surface by cleaving the matrix-binding ectodomain from the membrane domain. Because of the binding properties of the ectodomain, this shedding may provide a means by which epithelial cells loosen their association with the matrix and with other cells, e.g., during normal epithelial development and the invasion of carcinomas.</p>","PeriodicalId":18313,"journal":{"name":"Medical biology","volume":"65 1","pages":"41-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14092548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The releasing-factor peptides TRF, LRF, somatostatin, CRF and GRF have the highest concentration in the hypothalamic extracts. High levels of somatostatin, CCK octapeptide, neuropeptide Y (NPY) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) are found in cortical extracts. Substance P, CCK, NPY, and enkephalins are present in high concentrations in basal ganglia and mesolimbic areas. Pharmacological doses of these peptides result in several behavioural and vegetative effects. Immunocytochemical studies show that the CNS peptides are localised in neurones and in synaptic vesicles. In vitro studies with brain tissues show that peptides are capable of modifying the ongoing classical neurotransmission. In depressive patients several neuropeptides (CCK, CRF and NPY) have been shown to have low CSF levels. Patients dying of senile dementia have low cortical levels of somatostatin, CRF and substance P. In schizophrenic patients CCK peptides have shown to improve some symptoms.

Aminergic regulation of neuroendocrinological functions: theoretical background and some clinical examples. 神经内分泌功能的胺能调节:理论背景和一些临床实例。

{"title":"Aminergic regulation of neuroendocrinological functions: theoretical background and some clinical examples.","authors":"P T Männistö","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Remarkable progress has been made during recent years in the central regulation of the hypothalamic releasing and inhibiting factors and the respective anterior pituitary hormones. There are two nearly universal inhibitory organizations: short tuberoinfundibular dopamine (TIDA) neurons and somatostatinergic system originating from the periventricular hypothalamus and terminating to the median eminence. It is now known that e.g. dopamine, noradrenaline and acetylcholine enhance while 5-hydroxytryptamine and GABA inhibit somatostatin secretion. These transmitters are also involved in the regulation of all releasing factors and pituitary hormones. Clinical applications have been developed based on the regulation of prolactin and growth hormone. Inhibitory TIDA neurons are undoubtedly the major determinants of prolactin secretion. Hyperprolactinaemia is one of the most common endocrinological side-effects of the drugs antagonizing dopaminergic transmission. Expectedly, dopaminergic drugs (bromocryptine, lergotrile, piribedil, dopamine and levodopa) are quite effective in reducing high prolactin levels regardless of the reason. The secretion of growth hormone is predominantly under dual dopaminergic control: hypothalamic stimulation and pituitary inhibition. The former masters the function of the normal gland, while the peripheral inhibitory component takes over in acromegalic gland. Hence dopaminergic drugs are able to reduce elevated growth hormone levels in 30-50% of the acromegalic patients. In normal man, dopamine agonists increase growth hormone levels. An analogous situation can be seen in Cushing's disease regarding ACTH secretion.</p>","PeriodicalId":18313,"journal":{"name":"Medical biology","volume":"65 2-3","pages":"121-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14025072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
