lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs02:39

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

7.5K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway01:20

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

10.2K
Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as  SH2...

Inheritance of Chromatin Structures03:17

Inheritance of Chromatin Structures

6.0K
Epigenetics is the study of inherited changes in a cell's phenotype without changing the DNA sequences. It provides a form of memory for the differential gene expression pattern to maintain cell lineage, position-effect variegation, dosage compensation, and maintenance of chromatin structures such as telomeres and centromeres. For example, the structure and location of the centromere on chromosomes are epigenetically inherited. Its functionality is not dictated or ensured by the underlying...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized for their roles in biological processes.
  • However, their specific functions in immune cell differentiation and activity remain largely unexplored.
  • Understanding lncRNA involvement is key to deciphering complex immune regulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and characterize novel lncRNAs involved in the differentiation and function of conventional dendritic cells (DCs).
  • To elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which identified lncRNAs regulate DC activity.
  • To explore the potential of lncRNAs as regulators of immune cell responses.

Main Methods:

  • Identification of lnc-DC exclusively in human conventional DCs.
  • In vitro knockdown experiments in human monocytes and in vivo studies using mouse bone marrow cells.
  • Analysis of T cell activation assays.
  • Investigation of STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) activation pathways, including protein binding and phosphorylation assays.

Main Results:

  • lnc-DC was identified as a novel lncRNA specifically expressed in human conventional DCs.
  • Knockdown of lnc-DC significantly impaired DC differentiation and reduced their capacity to stimulate T cell activation.
  • lnc-DC directly binds to STAT3 in the cytoplasm, promoting its phosphorylation and preventing dephosphorylation by SHP1, thereby activating STAT3 signaling.

Conclusions:

  • lnc-DC is a critical regulator of dendritic cell differentiation and function.
  • The study reveals a novel mechanism of lncRNA action involving the modulation of STAT3 signaling.
  • This finding expands the known roles of lncRNAs in immunity and provides new insights into immune cell regulation.
