Disease relevance of Osmotic Pressure

 

Psychiatry related information on Osmotic Pressure

 

High impact information on Osmotic Pressure

  • In crab muscle, however, unsampled myosin reflections can be obtained, and lattice spacing (between adjacent thick filaments) can be changed by osmotic pressure applied to chemically skinned single fibres [7].
  • Exposure to UV light or osmotic shock induced clustering and internalization of cell surface receptors for epidermal growth factor (EGF), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and interleukin-1 (IL-1) [8].
  • Cells lacking Fus3 or Hog1 activity are deficient in mating or adaptation to osmotic shock, respectively [9].
  • Recognizing that osmotic pressure is a principal factor controlling antidiuresis, Verney introduced the term 'osmoreceptor' to designate the mysterious cerebral structures that regulate vasopressin release from the posterior pituitary [10].
  • Spontaneous Ca(2+) sparks can be reversibly induced by osmotic shock, and participate in a normal physiological response to exercise [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Osmotic Pressure

 

Biological context of Osmotic Pressure

 

Anatomical context of Osmotic Pressure

  • The activation of TAK1 by TNF-alpha, IL-1 or osmotic shock was also enhanced in embryonic fibroblasts from SAPK2a/p38alpha-deficient mice, while incubation of these cells with SB 203580 had no effect [22].
  • Further, MNK1 was activated upon stimulation of HeLa cells with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, fetal calf serum, anisomycin, UV irradiation, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1beta, or osmotic shock, and the activation by these stimuli was differentially inhibited by the MEK inhibitor PD098059 or the p38 MAP kinase inhibitor SB202190 [23].
  • After osmotic shock of the nerve endings, the activity was largely membrane associated and could not be released from membranes by freeze-thawing, dilution, 75 mM NaCl or 4 mM EDTA [24].
  • Critical steps for good quality of cryopreserved hepatocytes included the use of University of Wisconsin (UW) solution as a main component of the freezing medium, stepwise reduction of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) to avoid osmotic shock, and maintenance of low concentrations of DMSO in the culture medium [25].
  • We first showed that osmotic shock by 1 m sucrose stimulated rapid release of neurotransmitters from intact PC12 cells, indicating that most of the vesicles were docked at the plasma membrane [26].
 

Associations of Osmotic Pressure with chemical compounds

  • Plasma colloid osmotic pressure (PCOP) and echoencephalograms were monitored serially during and after labour in nine nulliparous severe pre-eclamptics receiving parenteral fluids, including infusions of magnesium sulphate and hydralazine [27].
  • DokA, a homolog of bacterial hybrid histidine kinases, is essential for hyperosmotic stress resistance in Dictyostelium: We show that a transient intracellular cAMP signal, dependent on the presence of DokA, is generated in response to an osmotic shock [28].
  • The effects of changes in external osmotic pressure were investigated by adding and removing mannitol from the bathing solution [29].
  • Psp is also synthesized transiently in response to several stresses (heat, ethanol, and osmotic shock) [30].
  • Lactose, together with other sugars and diffusible ions, is responsible for the osmotic pressure of milk [31].
 

Gene context of Osmotic Pressure

  • Co-transfection with SAPKK3 induced SAPK3 activity and greatly enhanced activation in response to osmotic shock [32].
  • We have analysed the transcriptional regulation of the TPS2 gene and have shown that its transcription is induced by a variety of stressful conditions caused by metabolic inhibitors, osmotic shock and heat shock [33].
  • One of these MAPKs, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), stimulates the transcriptional activity of c-Jun in response to growth factors, proinflammatory cytokines, and certain environmental stresses, such as short wavelength UV light or osmotic shock [34].
  • Furthermore, a hog1 mitogen-activated protein kinase deletion strain could not counteract repression on URSCRE-ENA1 during osmotic shock [35].
  • Yet, both rip1(-/-) and traf2(-/-) MEF exhibit a normal p38 MAP kinase response to inducers of osmotic shock or IL-1alpha [36].
