La transmisión de la estimulación hormonal por la comunicación de célula a célula
Nature
|April 6, 1978
Resumen
Las células de la granulosa de la rata y las células del miocardio del ratón se comunican a través de uniones gap. La estimulación hormonal en un tipo de célula desencadena una respuesta en el otro, lo que sugiere que la AMP cíclica es un mediador intercelular compartido.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Endocrinología Endocrinología.
- Fisiología Fisiología Fisiología.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las células de granulosa ovárica de rata y las células del miocardio de ratón exhiben respuestas cíclicas dependientes de la AMP a hormonas específicas.
- Las coculturas de células heterólogas demuestran la comunicación a través de uniones gap.

01:28Yeast Signaling
Yeasts are single-celled organisms, but unlike bacteria, they are eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus). Cell signaling in yeast is similar to signaling in other eukaryotic cells. A ligand, such as a protein or a small molecule released from a yeast cell, attaches to a receptor on the cell surface. The binding stimulates second-messenger kinases to activate or inactivate transcription factors that further regulate gene expression. Many of the yeast intracellular signaling cascades have similar...
01:19Contact-dependent Signaling
Contact-dependent signaling, as the name suggests, requires that communicating cells be in direct contact with each other. This is achieved either through receptor-ligand interactions or by specialized cytoplasmic channels that allow the flow of small molecules between cells. In animal cells, channels called gap junctions facilitate contact-dependent signaling in certain tissues, whereas, plasmodesmata perform a similar function in plants.

02:03What is Cell Signaling?
Despite the protective membrane that separates a cell from the environment, cells need the ability to detect and respond to environmental changes. Additionally, cells often need to communicate with one another. Unicellular and multicellular organisms use a variety of cell signaling mechanisms to communicate to respond to the environment.

01:32Types of Signaling Molecules
In multicellular organisms, many molecules transmit signals between cells to pass information. These signals vary in complexity and include small peptides, nucleotides, steroids, fatty acid derivatives, and dissolved gases such as nitric oxide. Some signaling molecules diffuse through the plasma membrane to act locally between neighboring cells or travel long distances. Others remain attached to the cell surface, transmitting information to other cells only when they make contact. In some...
