Abstract
Besides the control of calcium levels, the phosphoinositide-specific phospholipases C (PI-PLCs), the main players in the phosphoinositide signalling pathway, contribute to a number of cell activities. The expression of PI-PLCs is strictly tissue specific and evidence suggests that it varies under different conditions, such as tumour progression or cell activation. In previous studies, 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 (EC), and demonstrated that the expression of the PLC genes varies under inflammatory stimulation. The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) activates the PI-PLC γ1 isoform. In the present study, PI-PLC expression in FGF-treated HUVEC was performed using RT-PCR, observed 24 h after stimulation. The expression of selected genes after stimulation was perturbed, suggesting that FGF affects gene transcription in PI signalling as a possible mechanism of regulation of its activity upon the AkT-PLC pathway. The most efficient effects of FGF were recorded in the 3-6-h interval. To understand the complex events progressing in EC might provide useful insights for potential therapeutic strategies. The opportunity to manipulate the EC might offer a powerful tool of considerable practical and clinical importance. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
