Lipid signalling molecules are essential components of the processes that allow one extracellular signal to be transferred inside the nucleus, where specific lipid second messengers elicit reactions capable of regulating gene transcription, DNA replication or repair and DNA cleavage, eventually resulting in cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis or many other cell functions. Nuclear inositides are independently regulated, suggesting that the nucleus constitutes a functionally distinct compartment of inositol lipids metabolism. Indeed, nuclear inositol lipids themselves can modulate nuclear processes, such as transcription and pre-mRNA splicing, growth, proliferation, cell cycle regulation and differentiation. Nuclear PI-PLCβ1 is a key molecule for nuclear inositide signalling, where it plays a role in cell cycle progression, proliferation and differentiation. Here we review the targets and possible involvement of nuclear PI-PLCβ1 in human physiology and pathology.

Abstract
Lipid signalling molecules are essential components of the processes that allow one extracellular signal to be transferred inside the nucleus, where specific lipid second messengers elicit reactions capable of regulating gene transcription, DNA replication or repair and DNA cleavage, eventually resulting in cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis or many other cell functions. Nuclear inositides are independently regulated, suggesting that the nucleus constitutes a functionally distinct compartment of inositol lipids metabolism. Indeed, nuclear inositol lipids themselves can modulate nuclear processes, such as transcription and pre-mRNA splicing, growth, proliferation, cell cycle regulation and differentiation. Nuclear PI-PLCβ1 is a key molecule for nuclear inositide signalling, where it plays a role in cell cycle progression, proliferation and differentiation. Here we review the targets and possible involvement of nuclear PI-PLCβ1 in human physiology and pathology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
