Abstract
The signaling system of phosphoinositides (PI) is involved in a variety of cell and tissue functions, including membrane trafficking, ion channel activity, cell cycle, apoptosis, differentiation, and cell and tissue polarity. Recently, PI and related molecules, such as the phosphoinositide-specific phospholipases C (PI-PLCs), main players in PI signaling were supposed to be involved in inflammation. Besides the control of calcium levels, PI-PLCs contribute to the regulation of phosphatydil-inositol bisphosphate metabolism, crucial in cytoskeletal organization. The expression of PI-PLCs is strictly tissue specific and evidences suggest that it varies under different conditions, such as tumor progression or cell activation. In a previous study, we obtained a complete panel of expression of PI-PLC isoforms in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), a widely used experimental model for endothelial cells. In the present study, we analyzed the mRNA concentration of PI-PLCs in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated HUVEC by using the multiliquid bioanalyzer methodology after 3, 6, 24, 48, and 72 h from LPS administration. Marked differences in the expression of most PI-PLC codifying genes were evident.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
