Resumen
La invasión de Salmonella typhimurium requiere un aumento del calcio intracelular. Este aumento de calcio, mediado por leucotrienos, es esencial para la entrada de bacterias en las células huésped.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Microbiología Microbiología.
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- La patogénesis y la patogénesis.
Sus antecedentes:
- La invasión de la célula huésped es crítica para la patogenicidad de Salmonella.
- La invasión de Salmonella typhimurium activa el receptor del factor de crecimiento epidérmico en las células epiteliales.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el papel del calcio intracelular en la invasión de Salmonella typhimurium.
- Identificar los mecanismos moleculares subyacentes a la entrada de bacterias en las células huésped.
Principales métodos:
- La medición de los niveles de calcio intracelular en las células epiteliales tras la infección por S. typhimurium.
- Utilizando mutantes con defectos de invasión y antagonistas del calcio.
- Evaluación del impacto de los leucotrienos y la actividad de la fosfolipasa A2.
- Monitoreo de la activación de la proteína quinasa activada por mitógeno.
Principales resultados:
- La invasión de S. typhimurium desencadena un rápido aumento en el calcio intracelular ([Ca2+]i).
- Los mutantes con defecto de invasión no pudieron inducir flujos de calcio, y los antagonistas del calcio inhibieron la entrada de tipo salvaje.
- Las actividades de la fosfolipasa A2 y la 5-lipoxigenasa, que conducen a la producción de leucotrienos, son necesarias para la invasión.
- El leucotrieno D4 indujo un aumento [Ca2+]i y la internalización de un mutante defectuoso de invasión.
- La infección por S. typhimurium activó la proteína quinasa activada por mitógeno.
Conclusiones:
- El aumento del calcio intracelular es un requisito previo para la entrada de Salmonella typhimurium en las células huésped.
- La producción de leucotrieno es esencial para mediar el influjo de calcio requerido para la invasión bacteriana.
- El estudio aclara las vías de señalización clave involucradas en la invasión de las células huésped de Salmonella.

Transduction
1.7K
Among the three main modes of HGT—transformation, conjugation, and transduction—transduction is unique in that it is mediated by bacteriophages, or bacterial viruses.Transduction occurs in two ways. Generalized transduction occurs during the lytic cycle of a bacteriophage infection. In this process, bacteriophages infect bacterial cells, replicate within them, and ultimately cause cell lysis, releasing newly assembled virions. Occasionally, random fragments of the bacterial genome...

Signal Transduction: Overview
11.5K
Cells respond to many types of information, often through receptor proteins positioned on the membrane. They respond to chemical signals, such as hormones, neurotransmitters, and other signaling molecules, initiating a series of molecular reactions to produce an appropriate response. This is called signal transduction. Cells also coordinate different responses elicited by the same signaling molecule via mediators, allowing molecular cross-talk.

What is Cell Signaling?
130.4K
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.

Cell-surface Signaling
54.4K
Hormones—or any molecule that binds to a receptor, known as a ligand—that are lipid-insoluble (water-soluble) are not able to diffuse across the cell membrane. In order to be able to affect a cell without entering it, these hormones bind to receptors on the cell membrane. When a first messenger, a hormone, binds to a receptor, a signal cascade is set off, causing second messengers, proteins inside the cell, to become activated, resulting in downstream effects.

Contact-dependent Signaling
47.0K
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.
