Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, the 1st purpose was set at development of a novel visualization method for intracellular signal transduction. It was found that surface plasmon resonance imaging technique was applicable to visualize translocation of protein kinase C (PKC) from cytosol region to membrane region upon agonist stimulation for several membrane receptors. The 2nd purpose of this research was to clarify the condition of electrical control of cellular functions with conventional and new visualization method for intracellular signal transduction. We have prepared the nanosecond electric pulse generator by ourselves to apply the electric stimulation to the Yellow Cameleon gene-expressed neural model cell. We could consider the suitable conditions to induce the intracellular Ca2+ concentration change.
