Effect of substrate rigidity on distribution of nuclear actin and lamin A
2016
Tämä tutkimus keskittyi analysoimaan, onko solun ulkopuolisen ympäristön jäykkyydellä vaikutusta tuman sisäisten proteiinien jakautumiseen. Tuman mekanosensitiivisyyden vaikutusta lamiini A:n ja aktiinin sijaintiin tumassa tutkittiin soluilla, joita kasvatettiin eri jäykkyisillä kasvualustoilla. Kokeissa laskettiin lamiini A:n suhteellinen määrä vertaamalla tumalevyyn sitoutunutta ja tumassa vapaana olevaa lamiini A:ta, sekä suhteellinen määrä aktiinille vertaamalla tumansisäisen aktiinin määrää solulimassa olevaan. Kahta eri jäykkyistä (1,5 kPa ja 33 kPa Youngin moduluksella) polyakryyliamidi (PAA)-geeliä käytettiin säädettävänä kasvualustana soluille. Näillä geeleillä kasvatettiin hiiren …
Endocrine effects of sauna bath
2020
Sauna bath brings about numerous acute changes in hormone levels, partly akin to other stressful situations, partly specific for sauna. Norepinephrine increases in those accustomed to sauna bath. Sweating increases the production of antidiuretic hormone, and the renin-angiotensin system becomes activated. Of the anterior pituitary hormones, growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) secretion is increased. Also β-endorphin has been frequently reported to increase, whereas the responses of ACTH and cortisol are variable, probably depending on the type of sauna exposure. Sperm production decreases in particular in sauna-naïve men, but reduced fertility has not been associated with regular sauna …
Filopodia-like actin cables position nuclei in association with perinuclear actin in Drosophila nurse cells
2013
Summary Controlling the position of the nucleus is vital for a number of cellular processes from yeast to humans. In Drosophila nurse cells, nuclear positioning is crucial during dumping, when nurse cells contract and expel their contents into the oocyte. We provide evidence that in nurse cells, continuous filopodia-like actin cables, growing from the plasma membrane and extending to the nucleus, achieve nuclear positioning. These actin cables move nuclei away from ring canals. When nurse cells contract, actin cables associate laterally with the nuclei, in some cases inducing nuclear turning so that actin cables become partially wound around the nuclei. Our data suggest that a perinuclear a…
