Example sentences for: myocytes
How can you use “myocytes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
[ 36 ] reported that differentiation of BC3H1 myocytes is accompanied by a drop in L32 gene transcription; in contrast, we found no significant change in transcripts encoding this RP.
Recently, it has been noted that the JNK and p38 pathways can be activated by G-protein coupled receptor agonists, notably angiotensin II, in vascular smooth muscle cells [ 19 20 ] . In cardiac myocytes, both the p38 and JNK pathways have been activated by endothelin-1 (ET-1) and the α 1 adrenergic receptor agonist phenylephrine [ 21 ] . The ability of the JNK and p38 pathways to be activated by the same agonists of G-protein coupled receptors which activate the ERK pathway led to the investigation of 5-HT as a possible activator of the JNK and p38 pathways.
[ 5 ] . BDNF transiently stabilizes silent NM synapses during the period of transition from polyneuronal to mononeuronal innervation of skeletal muscle fibers [ 6 ] . BDNF and CNTF cooperatively affect efficiency of embryonic xenopus neuromuscular synapses in culture [ 7 8 ] . BDNF stimulates transmitter release from neuromuscular synapses [ 9 ] and enhances the efficiency of transmission at the neuromuscular synapse [ 10 ] . BDNF, together with NT-3, can restore neuregulin levels and a normal distribution of AchR at the neuromuscular junction blocked with curare [ 11 ] . BDNF, in conjunction with fibronectin, increases spontaneous synaptic currents in the cultured embryonic xenopus neuromuscular junction [ 12 ] . BDNF down-regulates AchR clustering, most likely by binding to TrkB expressed in myocytes [ 13 ] . BDNF downregulates agrin levels in muscle but increases neuregulin in ventral horn spinal motor neurons at the time when they form neuromuscular synapses [ 14 ] .
To further narrow down the sequences that are responsible for expression in myocytes exon 1b was directly linked to the reporter using a PstI site 10 nucleotides downstream from the transcription start site (see clone CH211-251J8).
In primary β-cells from the mouse, activation of PKC by PMA did not cause any change in membrane potential [ 15 16 ] , although in the same cell type, PMA reduced the glucose-stimulated elevation of [Ca 2+] i depending on activation of PKC [ 16 ] . On the other hand, recent studies in myocytes suggest that activation of PKC increases the open-time probability of K ATP (SUR2, Kir6.
