The transmission of chemical signals from a cells exterior to its interior is known as signal transduction (also known as cell signalling). To provide an appropriate response, signals received by cells must be successfully transferred into the cell. Signal transduction in immune is carried out by various products.
Products for signal transduction in immune
A-Kinase-Anchoring Proteins: (AKAPs) are a family of proteins that bind to the regulatory subunits (RI and RII) of protein kinase A (PKA) and bind it to specific regions within the cell. AKAPs play a crucial function in signal transduction control [1].
Calcium signalling: Calcium is a second messenger that plays a role in the control of a wide range of cellular physiological processes.
Cytokine and NF-B signalling pathways: Cytokine and NF-B signalling pathways are intricately related biochemical cascades involved in innate and adaptive immune responses, inflammation, and stress responses [2].
Endocytosis: Endocytosis is the process by which a cell absorbs in or internalises material by forming a membrane-bound vesicle. Endocytosis is a process in which the plasma membrane folds, forming membrane invaginations that contain the particles to be absorbed. The particles are encased in the plasma membrane, which forms a vesicle that detaches from the plasma membrane and is transported to its intracellular destination.
Exocytosis: It is the process through which a cell's proteins are discharged into the extracellular matrix. In the ER lumen, newly produced proteins are integrated into transport vesicles, which fuse with the cis-golgi [3]. The transport vesicles migrate towards the trans-golgi cisternae as a result of cisternal migration. The vesicles then migrate to the plasma membrane and merge with it, releasing the freshly produced protein.
Hedgehog signalling: The Hedgehog (Hh) signalling system is critical for all animal development. It affects stem cell proliferation in the adult and regulates morphogenesis of a range of tissues and organs in the embryo. Shh, Dhh, and Ihh are the three Hh proteins that have been identified in humans.
The Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK): MAPK family of serine/threonine kinases mediates intracellular signalling. MAPK is activated via a cascade that includes MAPK kinase (also known as MAPKKK or MEKK), which stimulates MAPK/ERK (also known as MAPKK or MEK). This causes MAPK activity to rise in a phosphorylation-dependent manner.
Signalling by inositol and cAMP: Second messenger systems such as inositol and cAMP signalling are important. Adenylyl Cyclase (AC) is linked to some GPCRs, and ligand-receptor binding activates AC and increases cAMP synthesis. Protein kinase A (PKA) is activated by cAMP, which then phosphorylates and activates target proteins.
Hippo and YAP/TAZ signalling: Through the modulation of TEF transcription factors, the Hippo signalling system regulates cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as tissue development and organ size [4]. Dysregulation has been linked to the development of a variety of malignancies.
Wnt signalling: Wnt proteins are secreted glycoproteins that control a wide range of developmental processes in embryonic and adult tissues, including differentiation, cell migration, and proliferation. Wnt signalling dysregulation has been linked to cancer and metastasis.
STING-dependent signalling: STING (stimulator of interferon genes) is a pattern recognition receptor and adaptor protein that initiates an innate immune response in response to cytoplasmic DNA identification. Certain autoimmune disorders and cancer immunology are linked to STING-dependent signaling.
PI 3-Kinase/Akt signalling: The PI 3-kinase/Akt signalling pathway is involved in many key cellular activities, including protein synthesis, proliferation, and survival. Following ligand binding to a variety of receptors, including integrin receptors, receptor tyrosine kinases, cytokine receptors, and certain 7-TM receptors, PI 3-kinase is activated. A series of biochemical changes within the cell or the changing of the cell membrane potential by the passage of ions in and out of the cell sustain transmission. Receptors that cause biochemical changes can do so either directly or indirectly by activating intracellular messenger molecules through intrinsic enzymatic activities inside the receptor [5].
Controlling and maintaining appropriate physiological balance within the body is one of the most critical jobs of cell signaling. Different signaling pathways are activated, resulting in a variety of physiological reactions such as cell growth, death, differentiation, and metabolism. Signal transduction treatment has become one of the most important fields of current drug research in recent years. The processes of cellular development and differentiation are closely controlled in a healthy organism, but they become uncoupled in a diseased condition, resulting in more damage-causing signals or the creation of dysfunctional cells. Diseases like cancer, infectious diseases, inflammation, arteriosclerosis, arthritis, and neurological diseases are generally caused by the proliferation of damaged or defective cells.
