Receptor Downregulation in MVBs01:15

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs

2.0K
Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are mature endosomes that sort ubiquitinated proteins and then fuse with lysosomes to degrade the sorted proteins. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) form a complex that can be internalized through endocytosis, sorted into an MVB, and later degraded.
The EGFR can initiate signaling pathways that  lead to cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Overexpression of EGFR  stimulates cells to proliferate. Excessive  EGFR...

IP3/DAG Signaling Pathway01:11

IP3/DAG Signaling Pathway

12.5K
Membrane lipids such as phosphatidylinositol (PI) are precursors for several membrane-bound and soluble second messengers. Specific kinases phosphorylate PI and produce phosphorylated inositol phospholipids. One such inositol phospholipids are the  phosphatidylinositol-4,5 bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], present in the inner half of the lipid bilayer. Upon ligand binding, GPCR stimulates Gq proteins to turn on phospholipase Cꞵ. Activated phospholipase Cꞵ cleaves PI(4,5)P2 and...

T Cell Activation and Clonal Selection

13.7K
T cells are integral to our adaptive immune system, recognizing and effectively responding to foreign antigens. T cell activation and clonal selection are pivotal in orchestrating this immune response. This article elucidates these mechanisms, detailing the roles of cluster of differentiation (CD) markers, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, costimulatory signals, and the process of clonal selection.
Naive T cells that have not yet encountered an antigen express two primary CD...

Cholesterol: Significance and Regulation01:29

Cholesterol: Significance and Regulation

2.1K
Although not a source of energy, cholesterol plays a significant role as a foundational structure for bile salts, steroid hormones, and vitamin D, as well as being a crucial component of plasma membranes. Approximately 15% of blood cholesterol is derived from our diet, with the remainder synthesized from acetyl CoA by the liver and intestines. Cholesterol is eliminated from the body through its conversion into bile salts, which are eventually discarded in the feces.
Considering cholesterol and...

Lipid Absorption01:24

Lipid Absorption

3.9K
Dietary triglycerides from chyme in the duodenum are mixed with bile salts produced by the liver to emulsify fats. As a result, large droplets are broken down into smaller ones, increasing the surface area for enzymatic action. Once emulsified, pancreatic lipases hydrolyze the triglycerides into free fatty acids and monoglycerides.
These breakdown products bind with bile salts and lecithin to form micelles, which quickly pass between microvilli to come in close contact with the apical...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • CD1d presents glycolipid antigens to invariant NKT cells.
  • Lipid transfer proteins like saposins facilitate antigen acquisition in endosomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) in CD1d-mediated antigen presentation.
  • To determine if MTP influences invariant NKT cell activation in vivo.

Main Methods:

  • Conditional deletion of the Mttp gene in hepatocytes.
  • Gene silencing of MTP in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs).
  • Analysis of CD1d expression and invariant NKT cell activation.

Main Results:

  • MTP associates with CD1d in hepatocytes.
  • MTP deficiency in hepatocytes and IECs impairs invariant NKT cell activation.
  • MTP deletion alters CD1d localization and confers resistance to NKT cell-mediated immunopathologies.

Conclusions:

  • MTP plays a crucial role in CD1d-mediated glycolipid antigen presentation in the endoplasmic reticulum.
  • MTP's function complements saposins, highlighting a dual regulatory mechanism for CD1d.
  • Targeting MTP could offer therapeutic strategies for NKT cell-related inflammatory diseases.
