September 2022 Signaling pathways activated by sea bass gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone peptides in COS Herein, we further elucidated the intracellular signaling pathways mediating in sea bass GnIH actions were challenged with both GnIH peptides, and this stimulatory action was significantly reduced by two inhibitors of the PKC pathway. Our results provide additional evidence for the understanding of signaling pathways activated by GnIH

September 2022 "In the Wnt-β-catenin pathway, Wnt binding to Frizzled (Fzd) and LRP5 or LRP6 (LRP5/6) co-receptors inhibits the degradation of the transcriptional coactivator β-catenin by recruiting the membrane recruits the β-catenin destruction complex, enabling the phosphorylation of LRP5/6, a key step in inhibiting We found that the affinity of Fzd for Dvl was not affected by Wnt ligands, in contrast to other members Our findings suggest a positive feedback loop in which Wnt-stimulated local PI(4,5)P2 production enhances

agonism is a phenomenon where different ligands acting on the same receptor trigger distinct signaling pathways also engage other G proteins, such as Gi/o and Gq/11, leading to different downstream effects, such as inhibition These agonists exhibit less interaction with ECL3, resulting in an open conformation of the TM6-ECL3- Tirzepatide's success underscores the potential of designing drugs that selectively target beneficial signaling pathways By selectively targeting specific signaling pathways, it is possible to develop drugs with improved efficacy

September 2022 "Background Cancer driver genes are usually ranked by mutation frequency, which does not necessarily reflect their driver strength. We hypothesize that driver strength is higher for genes preferentially mutated in patients with few driver mutations overall, because these few mutations should be strong enough to initiate cancer. Methods We propose formulas for the Driver Strength Index (DSI) and the Normalized Driver Strength Index (NDSI), the latter independent of gene mutation frequency. We validate them using TCGA PanCanAtlas datasets, established driver prediction algorithms and custom computational pipelines integrating SNA, CNA and aneuploidy driver contributions at the patient-level resolution."

signaling system provides a unique example of a signaling molecule that regulates the regenerative pathway However, it remains unclear what signals activate the EGL-30 pathway in axon regeneration. Consistent with this, we found that ascr#5 activates the axon regeneration pathway via SRG-36/SRG-37 Thus, ascaroside signaling promotes axon regeneration by activating the GPCR-Gqα pathway.

September 2022 β2-Adrenergic Receptor Expression and Intracellular Signaling in B Cells Are Highly Dynamic during Collagen-Induced Arthritis "The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) has either a pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory effect, depending on the stage of arthritis. In the past, treatment of arthritic B cells with a β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-ADR) agonist has been shown to attenuate arthritis. In this study, the expression and signaling of β2-ADR in B cells during collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) were investigated to provide an explanation of why only B cells from arthritic mice are able to improve CIA. Splenic B cells were isolated via magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS). Adrenergic receptors on B cells and intracellular β2-ADR downstream molecules (G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK-2), β-Arrestin 2, p38 MAPK, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB)) were analyzed at different time points in naïve and arthritic B cells with and without stimulation of β2-ADR agonist terbutaline by flow cytometry. β2-ADR-expressing B cells increase during CIA without a change in receptor density. Moreover, we observed a profound downregulation of GRK-2 shortly after induction of arthritis and an increase in β-Arrestin 2 only at late stage of arthritis. The second messengers studied (p38, ERK1/2 and CREB) followed a biphasic course, characterized by a reduction at onset and an increase in established arthritis. Stimulation of CIA B cells with the β-ADR agonist terbutaline increased pp38 MAPK independent of the timepoint, while pERK1/2 and pCREB were enhanced only in the late phase of arthritis. The phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, ERK1/2 and CREB in the late phase of arthritis was associated with increased IL-10 produced by B10 cells. The change of β2-ADR expression and signaling during sustained inflammation might be an integral part of the switch from pro- to anti-inflammatory action of sympathetic mechanisms in late arthritis."

Heterotrimeric G proteins couple activated G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) to intracellular signaling pathways YM-254890 (YM) can inhibit signaling by both GPCR-activated wild type αq and GPCR-independent αqQ209L Although YM inhibits wild type αq by binding to αq-GDP and preventing GDP/GTP exchange, the mechanism of YM inhibition of cellular αqQ209L remains to be fully understood. Treatment of cells with YM failed to inhibit signaling by these PM-restricted αqQ209L.
