Internal Receptors

74.6K
Many cellular signals are hydrophilic and therefore cannot pass through the plasma membrane. However, small or hydrophobic signaling molecules can cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane and bind to internal, or intracellular, receptors that reside within the cell. Many mammalian steroid hormones use this mechanism of cell signaling, as does nitric oxide (NO) gas.

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists

616
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy.  SP binds and activates...

Measures of Central Tendency

The "center" of a data set is also a way of describing location. The two most widely used measures of the "center" of the data are the mean (average) and the median. The words "mean" and "average" are often used interchangeably. The substitution of one word for the other is common practice. The technical term is "arithmetic mean" and "average" is technically a center location. However, in practice among non-statisticians,...

Series R—L Circuit Transients

390
In a series resistor-inductor (R-L) circuit, closing the switch at the start of the time period simulates a three-phase short circuit, a fault condition where all three phases of an unloaded synchronous machine are short-circuited. When there is no fault impedance and no initial current, the initial voltage is determined by the phase angle of the source voltage.
Using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) to analyze this circuit helps determine the total asymmetrical fault current, which consists...

Summary

Activating the TRPV1 receptor reduces the release of inflammatory cytokines in multiple sclerosis (MS) models. This suggests targeting the endovanilloid system could combat neuroinflammation in MS patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimmunology
  • Molecular Neuroscience
  • Neuroinflammation

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) disease progression is exacerbated by pro-inflammatory molecules from immune cells.
  • The endovanilloid system, particularly transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1), shows potential for modulating neuroinflammation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of TRPV1 activation in regulating pro-inflammatory cytokine release from microglial cells.
  • To assess the association between a TRPV1 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and cytokine levels in multiple sclerosis patients.

Main Methods:

  • In vitro studies using activated microglial cells stimulated with TRPV1 agonists (capsaicin, resiniferatoxin) and antagonists.
  • Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 132 MS patients for TNF and IL-6 levels, correlated with TRPV1 SNP rs222747 genotype.

Main Results:

  • TRPV1 activation significantly reduced TNF and IL-6 release in activated microglial cells.
  • TRPV1 antagonist inhibited these anti-inflammatory effects, while blocking TRPV1 enhanced inflammation.
  • In MS patients, the TRPV1 SNP rs222747 G allele, associated with higher TRPV1 function, correlated with lower CSF TNF levels.

Conclusions:

  • TRPV1 activation modulates central inflammation in MS by controlling microglial cytokine release.
  • Targeting the endovanilloid system offers a potential therapeutic strategy against MS-associated neuroinflammation.
