Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:22

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.8K
Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma receptor (Eph) and its ligand, Eph receptor-interacting protein (Ephrin) were first discovered in the human carcinoma cell line, hence the name. Ephrin-Eph interaction guides cells to reach their appropriate location in adult tissues. They also play an essential role in the immune system by helping in immune cell migration, adhesion, and activation. Based on their structure and function, Eph is divided into two classes — EphA and EphB.

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

5.4K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Liver Regeneration01:24

Liver Regeneration

4.7K
The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.
Cells of Liver
The liver comprises four major types of cells— hepatocytes, stellate, Kupffer, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. The hepatocytes are...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

10.0K
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

3.9K
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...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    E2F8 acts as a tumor suppressor by repressing genes during early liver development. Its loss leads to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in mice, with similar gene expression changes seen in human HCC patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • E2F transcription factors regulate cell cycle, proliferation, and survival.
    • E2F signaling is implicated in cancer development, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the function of atypical repressor genes E2f7 and E2f8 in adult liver physiology.
    • To determine the role of E2F7 and E2F8 in hepatocellular carcinoma development.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized loss-of-function alleles in mice to delete E2f7 and E2f8 in hepatocytes.
    • Employed temporal-specific ablation strategies to assess E2f8's role during postnatal development.
    • Analyzed chromatin occupancy and gene expression profiles in young and tumor-bearing mice.
    • Examined human liver biopsies from HCC patients.

    Main Results:

    • Combined deletion of E2f7 and E2f8 in hepatocytes induced HCC in mice.
    • E2f8's tumor suppressor function was critical during the first two weeks of postnatal liver development.
    • Disruption of E2F8 DNA binding activity phenocopied null allele effects, leading to HCC.
    • Identified shared E2F7/E2F8 targets whose dysregulation correlates with HCC progression.
    • Observed increased expression of E2F8-specific target genes in human HCC biopsies.

    Conclusions:

    • E2F8-mediated transcriptional repression is a crucial tumor suppressor mechanism during postnatal liver development.
    • Dysregulation of E2F7 and E2F8 contributes to hepatocellular carcinoma development.
    • E2F8 target gene expression in human HCC suggests conserved roles.
