Hedgehog Signaling Pathway02:33

Hedgehog Signaling Pathway

10.4K
The Hedgehog gene (Hh) was first discovered due to its control of the growth of disorganized, hair-like bristles phenotype in Drosophila, much like hedgehog spines. Hh plays a crucial role in the development of organs and the maintenance of homeostasis in both invertebrates and vertebrates. However, while Drosophila has only one Hh protein, mammals have multiple functional Hedgehog proteins - Sonic (Shh), Desert (Dhh), and Indian Hedgehog (Ihh). All of these homologous proteins have adapted to...

Notch Signaling Pathway

6.9K
The Notch signaling pathway is a major intracellular signaling pathway that is highly conserved over a broad spectrum of metazoan species. It stands unique from other intracellular signaling mechanisms in animals because notch protein itself acts as the receptor as well as the primary signaling molecule.
The Notch gene came into the limelight in 1914 after the discovery that its mutation in Drosophila melanogaster leads to a serrated (or "notched") wing margin phenotype. It was not...

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:12

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.6K
Notch signaling was first discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, where it is involved in cell lineage differentiation. Notch signaling regulates the maintenance and differentiation of intestinal stem cells or ISCs by controlling the expression of atonal homolog 1 or Atoh1. Atoh1 directs cells to differentiate into secretory cells.
Direct cell-to-cell contact is needed for the activation of Notch signaling. The signal is initiated when a notch ligand binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, also...

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

4.0K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits.  Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Cell signaling
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Cell fate specification is crucial for development and relies on cellular responses to external signals.
  • Neural stem and progenitor cells differentiate into various neuronal types, a process tightly regulated by signaling pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the interplay between Notch and Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling in neural stem and progenitor cell fate specification.
  • To elucidate the role of cilia in mediating these signaling interactions.

Main Methods:

  • The study likely involved in vitro or in vivo models of neural development.
  • Techniques may include genetic manipulation, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and gene expression analysis to assess signaling pathway activity and cell fate markers.

Main Results:

  • Notch signaling activity was found to enhance the interpretation of Shh signals.
  • This interaction occurs through the regulation of signaling events within the cilia.
  • The coordinated signaling influences the specification of neural stem and progenitor cell fates.

Conclusions:

  • A crosstalk between Notch and Shh signaling pathways, mediated by cilia, is essential for proper neural cell fate determination.
  • Understanding this mechanism provides insights into neural development and potential therapeutic targets for neurological disorders.
