(1) Causes
• Gene mutation-- Function loss or gain
Quantity change of signaling pathway proteins
Activity change of signaling pathway proteins
• Autoimmune diseases
• Secondary changes
(2) Pathogenesis
Abnormality: Ligands, Receptors, Post-receptor components, Effectors
 Down-regulation / interruption of signaling
• Signal Insufficiency
• Receptors down-regulation/desensitization: decreased quantity, binding affinity,
inhibitory Ab, cofactor disorders, function loss, etc.
• Defects in Adaptors, Signal transducers, TFs, other Effectors, etc.
Up-regulation / over-activation of signaling
•
Signal Excess
•
Receptor up-regulation, hypersensitivity, stimulatory Ab, etc
•
Signal transducers, TFs: over-expression, persistent activation, etc.
1. Aberrant Signal
(1) Aberrant Signal (Signal Insufficiency)




Insulin receptor (IR): heterotetramer (2, 2)
Insulin binding leads to change in conformation
Activates IR -subunit (PTK activity)
IR-subunit phosphorylates Tyr residues on cytoplasmic domains
as well as downstream substrates (IRS)
Viral infections or other
damages to pancreatic -cell
insulin production
hyperglycemia
Diabetes (Type I)
(2) Aberrant Signal (Signal Excess)
ischemia, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases
extracellular glutamate/aspartic acid

(N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, Ion Channel Linked Receptor)

[Ca2+] , activation of enzymes

2. Aberrant Receptor in Cell Signaling

Disturbance of receptors can occur in:


gene level,
Protein level: synthesis, post-translational modification, conformation,
oligomerization, translocation, endocytosis, degradation, and etc.

Receptor alterations in number, structure, function, and
regulation lead to:




down-regulation: decrease in number of receptors
desensitization: decreased response to ligand stimulation
up regulation: increase in number of receptors
hypersensitivity: increased response to ligand stimulation,
or self-activation without ligands
 Receptor diseases:
receptor alterations --- changes of ligand-receptor signaling --- abnormal
cellular effects --- diseases

4. Aberrant intracellular Signaling
• The intracellular signaling involves
-- various messengers, transducers, transcription factors, and others.
• Disorders can occur in any of these settings, e.g.
-- Stimulation of NF-B is seen in various inflammatory responses
-- Calcium overload is a general pathological process in various
diseases;
-- The level of NO is positively correlated with ischemic injury;
---Enhancement of multiple proliferating signals in
Cancer
Ligands (GFs): e.g. EGF
Receptors (overexpression, activation of PTK): e.g. EGFR
