Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
0 Views •
2024
The ovarian cycle regulates endometrial changes throughout a single menstrual cycle via the coordinated action of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotrophins. At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH release.

miRNA or microRNA are key regulators of cell cycle progression. This video describes a flow cytometry-based cell cycle analysis of lung cancer cells transfected with miRNA, to study the effect of miRNA on cell cycle regulation. Inhibition of proliferation by halting cell cycle progression has shown potential to be a promising approach for cancer treatment.

We report two cell synchronization protocols that provide a context for studying events related to specific phases of the cell cycle. We show that this approach is useful for analyzing the regulation of specific genes in an unperturbed cell cycle or upon exposure to agents affecting the cell cycle.

GTPases and their Regulation
0 Views •
2020
Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins), also known as GTPases, are a superfamily of proteins that regulate many cellular processes, such as cell signaling, vesicular transport, and the regulation of cell shape and motility. Mutation or dysfunction of these proteins can lead to disease. There are around 40,000 known G-proteins that can broadly be classified into two groups ‒ small G-proteins consisting of a single domain and large multi-domain G-proteins. Large G-proteins, also known...

FAQs
The balance between energy-rich and energy-demand signals helps set cycle activity. High ATP and NADH indicate that the cell has sufficient energy and suppress oxidation, while ADP signals increased demand and stimulates it. This feedback prevents unnecessary acetyl-CoA oxidation when energy supplies are adequate and supports greater flux when cellular energy requirements rise.
These enzymes provide major sites where activity can adjust the overall rate of the cycle. Changes at citrate synthase affect entry into the pathway, while regulation of isocitrate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase influences downstream oxidation and reducing-equivalent production. Considering them together helps explain how control is distributed rather than assigned to a single reaction.
Flux depends not only on regulatory signals but also on whether substrates are available and products accumulate. Acetyl-CoA availability links cycle activity to upstream metabolism, whereas product accumulation can restrain further reactions. These effects connect the cycle with glycolysis, amino acid metabolism, and oxidative phosphorylation, allowing metabolic activity to respond to changing cellular conditions.
A useful assessment begins by comparing ATP and NADH with ADP, then considering substrate availability and product accumulation. The expected direction of oxidation can be inferred from this combined information rather than from one signal alone. During increased demand, stimulatory inputs predict greater activity, whereas abundant energy and accumulated products predict reduced flux.
Calcium becomes relevant in some tissues when physiological conditions increase the demand for oxidation. In that context, Ca2+ can stimulate activity alongside demand-related signals such as ADP. Its effect provides tissue-dependent context for interpreting regulation, because the same energy state may not produce identical control responses in every tissue.
Analysis of this control system can show how cells preserve energy homeostasis while balancing oxidation with biosynthetic needs. It can indicate whether acetyl-CoA is being directed toward production of reducing equivalents or whether cycle activity is constrained by energy sufficiency and product accumulation. The findings also clarify coordination among central metabolic pathways.
