Many hormones, growth factors and neurotransmitters stimulate the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate evoking the release of calcium from intracellular stores. The depletion of these intracellular calcium stores subsequently activates a voltage-inde ...
In this thesis, two different fluorescent labeling techniques for in vivo investigations on the 5-HT3 receptor (5-HT3R) functions are presented. This plasma membrane protein contains five subunits surrounding an ion channel that opens after binding of a 5- ...
Action potentials evoke calcium transients in dendrites of neocortical pyramidal neurons with time constants of < 100 ms at physiological temperature. This time period may not be sufficient for inflowing calcium ions to equilibrate with all present Ca2+-bi ...
The goal of the present study was to analyze the intercellular calcium communication between smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) by simultaneously monitoring artery diameter and intracellular calcium concentration in a rat mesenteric art ...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) constitute by far the largest family of transmembrane cell-surface proteins involved in signal transduction and are the most important targets for the development of novel therapeutic compounds. Many processes mediated by ...
The regulation of cytosolic-free calcium concentration of smooth-muscle and endothelial cells was mainly studied on cultured cells where the cross talk between these two coupled cell types is lost. In the present study, the cytosolic-free calcium concentra ...
Human immunodeficiency virus Nef plays an important role in AIDS pathogenesis. In addition to the well known down-regulation of cell surface receptors (CD4, MHCI), Nef is able to alter cellular signaling. Of particular interest for this study is the abilit ...
Depletion of intracellular calcium stores activates the plasma membrane capacitative calcium entry pathway in many cell types. The nature of the signal that couples the depletion of the intracellular calcium stores to the activation of the plasma membrane ...
A review with 6 refs. of the authors' work in developing a biophys. technique to investigate the structure, function and dynamics of membrane receptors. A fluorescence-based approach has been developed and applied to the prototypic G protein-coupled recept ...
This thesis is a contribution to the field of cellular communication in arteries during vasomotion, i.e. rhythmic and spontaneous diameter oscillations of arteries. Investigating how individual smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) calcium ...
