Adaptation of signal transduction in brain

Author

Summary, in English

Cell culture models were used to study the effects of long-term ethanol exposure on neuronal cells. Effects on phospholipase C and phospholipase D mediated signal transduction were investigated by assaying receptor-binding, G protein function, activities of lipases, formation of second messengers and c-fos mRNA. The signal transduction cascades displayed abnormal activities from 2 to 7 days of exposure which differed from the acute effects. Phosphatidylethanol formed by phospholipase D is an abnormal lipid that may harmfully affect nerve cell function.
