Diversity in Cell Signaling Responses01:22

Diversity in Cell Signaling Responses

8.4K
The physiological function of a cell and cellular communication are outcomes of a range of extrinsic signals, intracellular signaling pathways, and cellular responses. No two cell types express the same repertoire of signaling components. Receptors are highly selective for their cognate ligands, but once activated, they can alter multiple cellular processes such as DNA transcription, protein synthesis, and metabolic activity. 
Graded and Abrupt Responses

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways01:19

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

7.9K
Signaling cascades usually lack linearity. Multiple pathways interact and regulate one another, allowing cells to integrate and respond to diverse environmental stimuli.
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells

3.2K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...

Overview of Cell Signaling

26.1K
Despite the protective membrane that separates a cell from the environment, cells need the ability to detect and respond to environmental changes. Additionally, cells often need to communicate with one another. Unicellular and multicellular organisms use a variety of cell signaling mechanisms to communicate with the environment.
Cells respond to many types of information, often through receptor proteins positioned on the membrane. For example, skin cells respond to and transmit touch...

Area of Science:

  • Systems Biology
  • Computational Biology
  • Molecular Signaling

Background:

  • High-throughput techniques enable dynamic signaling analysis across cellular layers.
  • Time-course data is crucial for inferring regulatory mechanisms.
  • Integrating parallel time-course data from multiple platforms is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel bioinformatic approach for analyzing coupled omics time-series data.
  • To implement this approach in an R package named pwOmics.
  • To investigate dynamic signaling during epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation in human mammary epithelial cells.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a pathway-based integration method accounting for different cellular layers.
  • Implemented the method in the R package pwOmics.
  • Analyzed time-course RNA and protein data from EGF-stimulated cells.

Main Results:

  • Identified consensus profiles and time profile clusters for biological interpretation.
  • Confirmed known regulatory patterns in EGF signaling.
  • Discovered novel interactions, including the influence of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and growth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible alpha (GADD45A) in EGF signaling.

Conclusions:

  • Integrated cross-platform analysis enhances understanding of regulatory signaling.
  • Time-course data integration facilitates characterization of dynamic signaling processes.
  • This approach identifies key regulatory interactions relevant to disease.
