NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway02:26

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway

10.3K
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones01:20

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

8.9K
Low blood levels of the thyroid hormones — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — signal the hypothalamus to release the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then reaches the pituitary gland and stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) into the bloodstream.
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting01:45

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting

3.4K
Nuclear protein sorting regulates nucleus composition and gene expression, crucial for determining the fate of a eukaryotic cell. Hence, the entry and exit of molecules across the nuclear envelope is a tightly controlled process. Nuclear protein sorting can be inhibited by one of the following ways: 1) masking cargo signal sequences, 2) modifying the nuclear receptor's affinity for cargo, 3) controlling the nuclear pore size, 4) retaining the cargo during its transit to the cytosol or the...

Functions of Thyroid Hormones01:18

Functions of Thyroid Hormones

6.5K
The thyroid hormone (TH) plays a pivotal role in the intricate orchestration of physiological processes, exerting profound effects on development, metabolism, and homeostasis throughout different life stages.
TH is indispensable for the normal development and maturation of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems during fetal and childhood growth. It facilitates bone mineral turnover and regulates protein synthesis in developing tissues, contributing significantly to overall growth and...

Synthesis and Functions of Calcitonin00:51

Synthesis and Functions of Calcitonin

5.3K
Calcitonin, a vital polypeptide hormone, regulates calcium levels within body fluids. It is released by the parafollicular cells, also known as C cells, situated in the follicular epithelium of the thyroid gland. Calcitonin responds to fluctuations in blood calcium levels and the influence of gastrointestinal hormones like gastrin and cholecystokinin.
The exact mechanisms by which calcitonin operates in calcium homeostasis remain elusive, but its significance is evident in several vital...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • NEMO/IKKγ is crucial for canonical NF-κB activation.
  • NF-κB signaling regulates immunity, cell growth, and apoptosis.
  • The role of NF-κB in thyroid differentiation and function is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the functional role of NEMO-dependent canonical NF-κB signaling in thyroid gland differentiation and function.

Main Methods:

  • Generated a murine strain with thyrocyte-specific NEMO genetic deletion.
  • Analyzed thyroid gland physiology, histology, and molecular markers in knock-out mice.

Main Results:

  • Thyrocyte-specific NEMO knock-out mice developed hypothyroidism post-birth.
  • Hypothyroidism led to reduced body weight and shortened lifespan.
  • Absence of NEMO resulted in loss of thyroid cellularity, down-regulation of differentiation markers, and increased apoptosis.

Conclusions:

  • NEMO-dependent signaling is essential for normal thyroid physiology.
  • Canonical NF-κB signaling plays a critical role in thyroid gland differentiation and function.
