4. Cell Cycle Regulation
1. Cascade of protein
phosporylation
pathways.
- Cyclins
- Cyclins-dependent
kinases
5. Cell Cycle Regulation
2. Set of checkpoints
- cell cycle arrest
- Promoting inhibitory
pathways
- Inhibiting activating
pathways
- Loss of check point:
1.genomic instability
2.evolution into cancer
7. Cell Signaling
*Autocrine signalling
cell respond to the
signalling they
themselves secrete
*Paracrine signalling
cell produces molecules
affect only a target cell
in close proximity
*Endocrine signalling
hormones synthesized by
endocrine organs act on
distant target cell
8. Cell Surface Receptor
1. Receptors with intrinsic kinase activity
2. Receptor without intrinsic kinase activity
3. G Protein- Linked Receptors
9. Signal Transduction System
Process by which extracellular signals are detected
& converted into intracellular signals -> specific
cellular response
Signal transduction pathways:
1. PI3 kinase pathway
2. MAP kinase pathway
3. IP3 pathway
4. cAMP pathway
5. JAK/STAT pathway
13. Extracellular Matrix
Macromolecul assembles into a network in the
space surrounding cell.
Critically influences cell functions
Three groups of ECM:
1. Fibrous structural proteins (e.g. collagens
& elastin)
2. Adhesive glycoprotein (e.g. fibronectin &
laminin) and integrins
3. Proteoglycans & hyaluronan
18. TGF -β
In articular chondrocytes stimulates
proteoglycans synthesis
In bone stimulates osteoblast proliferation
& matrix synthesis
Active during bone resorption-> regulate
osteoblast & osteoclast interaction
20. BMPs
Member of the TGF-β superfamily
BMP-1 ->metalloprotease for collagen
types I,II,III
BMP-2 & BMP-7 ->bone regeneration
BMP-6 & BMP-7 -> cartilage maturation
21. IGFs
IGF-1 (somatomedin C ) -> proliferation of
chondrocytes and proteoglycan synthesis
IGF-2-> proliferation and matrix synthesis
by osteoblast
22. FGFs
Family of 11 growth factors, FGF-1 & 2
most abundant
Found in cartilage matrix and bone->
proliferation of both cell type
Angiogenic -> stimulating growth of
vasculature
23. Cytokines
Soluble peptide signaling molecules
More than 100 molecules identified
Produce by many cell:
-lymphocytes -> lymphokines
-monocytes -> monokines
- Proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6,
TNF-α)-> inflammatory arthritis & bone
resorption
