Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells01:23

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells

3.3K
The intestinal epithelial lining rapidly renews every 4 to 5 days. The renewal is facilitated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of the crypt– a gland located at the bottom of each villus. ISCs divide asymmetrically to form new stem cells and progenitor daughter cells. The daughter cells are called transit-amplifying (TA) cells which move upwards along the crypt and either differentiate into absorptive cells– the enterocytes or secretory cells– including the...

Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells01:23

Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells

2.1K
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.
However, failure of such a system...

Bone Markings01:26

Bone Markings

8.1K
Bones have various surface features that help form joints and attach to other soft tissues. Depending on the function, bone markings are categorized into articulating projections, processes for attachment, depressions, and openings.
Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells01:12

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells

3.1K
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...

Cell Specific Gene Expression01:58

Cell Specific Gene Expression

16.6K
Multicellular organisms contain a variety of structurally and functionally distinct cell types, but the DNA in all the cells originated from the same parent cells. The differences in the cells can be attributed to the differential gene expression. Liver cells, whose functions include detoxification of blood, production of bile to metabolize fats, and synthesis of proteins essential for metabolism, must express a specific set of genes to perform their functions. Gene expression also varies with...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Transcription Factors

Background:

  • Transcription factor T-cell factor 1 (TCF1) is crucial for CD8+ T cell function.
  • TCF1 expression distinguishes murine CD8+ T cells with self-renewal and effector potential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role and expression levels of TCF1 in human CD8+ T cells.
  • To determine if TCF1 levels can serve as a biomarker for adaptive immune responses.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of TCF1 expression in human CD8+ T cells from healthy and chronically infected individuals.
  • Flow cytometry to quantify TCF1 expression levels (high, intermediate, low).
  • Assessment of T cell function and differentiation following in vitro reactivation.

Main Results:

  • Human CD8+ T cells exhibit three distinct TCF1 expression levels: TCF1-hi, TCF1-int, and TCF1-lo.
  • TCF1-hi cells are quiescent progenitors, TCF1-int cells have effector functions, and TCF1-lo cells are terminally differentiated and senescent.
  • TCF1-hi cells can self-renew and differentiate into TCF1-lo cells upon reactivation, while TCF1-lo cells do not de-differentiate.

Conclusions:

  • TCF1 expression defines functional states and differentiation trajectories of human CD8+ T cells.
  • Flow cytometric analysis of TCF1 offers a potential biomarker for assessing adaptive immune function.
  • TCF1 levels may predict immune responses in vaccination, infection, autoimmunity, and cancer.
