The Role of Host Hormones and Metabolites in the Regulation of Virulence in Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC)
… through transcriptome studies. The bacterial adrenergic kinases QseC and QseE both respond to epinephrine to regulate the LEE PI positively and negatively respectively. We also demonstrated for the first time that co-incubation with epinephrine increases the formation of AE lesions, and that …

Essential Function of Ghrelin in Chronic Starvation
… express high levels of mRNA encoding the β1-adrenergic receptor. Ghrelin secretion from these cells was stimulated by the addition of norepinephrine or epinephrine, an effect blocked by atenolol, a selective β1-adrenergic antagonist. Treating WT mice with atenolol or reserpine, a drug that …

Effect of Long-Term Hypoxia on Myocardial Alpha1- Receptors
… changes in myocardial α<sub>1</sub>-adrenergic receptor system, we employed [<sup>3</sup>H-Prazosin] binding technique to characterize α<sub>1</sub>-adrenergic receptors in both fetal and adult sheep myocardial ventricular membrane preparations. Myocardial α<sub>1</sub>-adrenergic …

Myocardial Contractility in Fetal Sheep Exposed to Long-term Hypoxia at High Altitude : Activator Calcium and Beta-adrenergic Receptor Function
… dihydropyridine (DHPR), ryanodine (RyR), and β-adrenergic receptor densities, and measured basal and stimulated intracellular cAMP levels. In hypoxic fetuses, left ventricular wet weight was unchanged, but right ventricular weight was ~20% lower than controls. Curves describing the …

The Functional Characterization of the Quorum Sensing E. Coli Regulators B and C in EHEC
… upon the addition of phentolamine, an a-adrenergic receptor antagonist. Given that enterocytes harbor a-adrenergic receptors, it would be consistent for a microbial adrenergic sensor (QseC) to mostly resemble (in an orthologous and not a homologous fashion) an a- and not a ᭡drenergic …

Modulation of CD8+ T Cell Function by Beta2-Adrenergic Receptor Signaling
… sympathetic nerve endings. The nerve termini are adrenergic and secrete norepinephrine upon stimulation, which can modulate immune cell function primarily through the beta2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2). Our previous work has demonstrated that various subsets of CD8+ T cells have differential …

Sympathetic Neural Control of Inflammation by ADRB2-Mediated IL-10 Secretion
… system to communicate with immune cells through adrenergic receptors (ADR). Although, the effects of adrenergic signaling has been studied in multiple cell types, its role in modulation of innate immune cells is relatively unknown. Here, I demonstrate a novel role for the beta2-ADR (ADRB2) in …
