	Cell signalling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Autocrine signalling is the secretion of of cell signals that bind back onto its own receptors.
		Autocrine signalling may be the foundation of the community effect in development.
		Cell signals can be required just to maintain the health of the cell, such that if you remove the signal, the cell dies.

	Hormone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They move by circulation or diffusion to their target cells, which may be nearby cells (paracrine action) in the same tissue or cells of a distant organ of the body.
		The function of hormones is to serve as a signal to the target cells; the action of hormones is determined by the pattern of secretion and the signal transduction of the receiving tissue.
		Many of the responses to hormone signals can be described as serving to regulate metabolic activity of an organ or tissue.

		Autocrine loops effected through the interaction of growth factors with their corresponding receptors can take simple forms involving only a single growth factor or rather complex forms involving two or more growth factors.
		Autocrine growth of gastric carcinoma cells mediated by an interplay between IL1 and its receptor is demonstrated by the fact that antibodies against IL1-alpha and also IL1 receptor antagonist (IL1ra) significantly suppress cell growth.
		The uncontrolled synthesis of such autocrine growth factors by cells that also express the corresponding receptors is a mechanisms allowing, for example, tumor cells to regulate their own growth and to become independent of exogenous growth control mechanisms (see also: Factor-dependent cell lines).

		In the body, these endocrine signals are normally released into the blood, and include hormones such as the sex hormonesoestrogen and testosterone; insulin to regulate blood sugar; and adrenaline to ready an animal for fighting or running away.
		These signals are sent over very short distances and include growth factors, which are involved in wound healing and cell division, and neurotransmitters, which convey signals between nerve cells.
		Most signalling molecules are water-loving or hydrophilic, so they are unable to pass through the fatty cell membrane (which is why they need a receptor to pass on their message).

		Autocrine signalling: occurs when a cell stimulates itself through synthesis of a ligand that binds and activates receptors on the same cell.
		Endocrine signalling: occurs with factors produced in one part of the body that bind to receptors expressed on target cells that are far away.
		This form of signalling differs from endocrine signalling in that a.) ligands that participate in synaptic signals can achieve high local concentrations, b.) are associated with rapid, short-term responses and, c.) are often quickly degraded or sequestered to regulate the response.

		These processes are regulated in part by growth factor receptors, which act via autocrine, or paracrine mechanisms as positive or negative regulators.
		The IGFs serve as endocrine, paracrine and autocrine stimulators of growth, differentiation, metabolism and survival in a wide variety of cell types {2}.
		Together these studies, which have combined a variety of technologies to manipulate signal transduction pathways, have generated a number of surprising findings, but ultimately have demonstrated, that the pathway from the extracellular environment to the final intracellular outcome is not straightforward, and often, not what is expected.

		To identify the signalling features controlling VEGF expression, i) we analyzed the regulation of VEGF mRNA in normal and transformed CCL39 fibroblasts, ii) we dissected the VEGF promoter to identify the signalling pathway(s) controlling its activation in response to growth factors, oncogenes and hypoxic stress, and iii) we explored the signalling elements controlling mRNA stability.
		Whether other signaling molecules also contribute to the function of Tie2 during angiogenesis remains to be determined.
		However, the expression and activation of Tie2 in the quiescent vasculature suggests that Tie2 may play a role in the maintenance of the adult vasculature and that therapeutic blockade of the Tie2 pathway should be done with caution.

		We are now examining signalling mechanisms that regulate aberrant HGF expression in breast carcinomas, considering that this event may be relevant for prognostication and treatment strategies.
		Recently, we showed that Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (Stat3) acts co-operatively with c-Src to induce transcription of HGF in mammary epithelial cells, thereby contributing to autocrine activation of Met, and enhanced cell scattering (Figure 4).
		Current studies are assessing parallel effectors of c-Src in HGF transcription regulation, and the efficacy of small molecule inhibitors of Stat3 in blocking HGF expression and autocrine HGF/Met signalling in human breast carcinomas (Figure 5).

		Autocrine signalling is a form of signalling in which a cell secretes a chemical messenger (called the autocrine agent) that signals the same cell.
		An example of an autocrine agent is the cytokine interleukin-1 in monocytes.
		When this is produced in response to external stimuli, it can bind to cell-surface receptors on the same cell that produced it.

		From the results above it seemed clear that autocrine factors were involved in the regulation of proliferation in Sf9 cells, and indeed, we could show that a substance that binds to antibodies against hIGF-I was secreted by the cells.
		Another possibility is that increased levels of amino acids lead to cell swelling, which is an anabolic signal (Bussolati et al., 1996) and that amino acids have signalling functions as obviously is the case in their preventing apoptosis (Franek and Sramkova, 1996).
		Thus, an alternative explanation to the positive effects of exchanging spent medium for fresh at the time for infection (Reuveny et al., 1993) could well be that the autocrine signalling system and concomitant proliferative processes are activated again.

		In the past, cellular responses to particular stimuli were worked out by observation, using activators and inhibitors to mimic/disrupt ligand-activated pathways and also by reconstitution assays in which the conditions and concentrations of different components could be investigated in a cell-free environment.
