Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

11.9K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Neurons: The Cell Body and the Dendrites

7.2K
A typical nerve cell comprises three main components: the cell body, dendrites, and the axon. The cell body, also known as the soma or perikaryon, serves as the central biosynthetic hub housing a nucleus surrounded by cytoplasm containing organelles commonly found in most cells. Notably, Nissl bodies, clusters of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and free ribosomes responsible for protein synthesis, are distinctive features of the neuronal cell body. As neurons age, aggregates of a brown pigment...

Global Regulatory Systems01:28

Global Regulatory Systems

694
Global regulatory systems in bacteria enable rapid and coordinated responses to environmental changes by integrating sensory inputs with gene expression, ensuring efficient adaptation to fluctuating conditions. Key global regulatory mechanisms include regulons, two-component systems, sigma factors, and secondary messengers.Regulons and Global RegulatorsA regulon is a collection of genes and operons controlled by a common global regulator. These regulators enable bacteria to prioritize resource...

Therapeutic Index01:13

Therapeutic Index

6.9K
The therapeutic index of a drug is a key parameter in pharmacology that quantifies the relative safety of a drug by calculating the ratio between the dose that causes toxicity in half the population (50%) to the dose that proves to be effective for half the population (50%). It provides a spectrum of doses for a particular drug ranging from effective to potentially toxic. To illustrate, consider an anticoagulant agent like warfarin. It possesses a narrow window within its therapeutic index to...

Target Cell Response to Hormones01:22

Target Cell Response to Hormones

5.8K
Hormones intricately bind to receptors on the surface or within target cells, initiating a cascade of cellular responses.
Notably, the cellular response can be regulated by altering the number of receptors expressed in the cell. For example, prolonged exposure to elevated hormone levels results in a gradual decline or down-regulation in the number of receptors for that specific hormone on the cell surface. Conversely, in response to low hormone levels, cells may use up-regulation, producing an...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Transplantation Science

Background:

  • Growing interest in dendritic cell tolerogenicity and therapeutic applications.
  • Focus on understanding regulatory dendritic cells (DCreg) mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review progress in profiling DCreg.
  • Explore methods to enhance DCreg tolerogenicity in situ and ex vivo.
  • Examine clinical testing of DCreg in organ transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 'omics' data to identify DCreg transcriptional programs.
  • In situ targeting of dendritic cells with nanovesicles.
  • Ex vivo modification of dendritic cells.
  • Review of clinical trials involving DCreg therapy.

Main Results:

  • DCreg properties stem from specific gene activation, not immaturity.
  • Nanovesicle targeting promotes in vivo expansion of regulatory cells.
  • Ex vivo modifications enhance DCreg regulatory function and migration.
  • Graft tolerance in liver transplants linked to host DC cross-dressing.
  • Clinical trials for DCreg therapy in renal and liver transplantation are underway.

Conclusions:

  • Further research into molecules promoting DCreg function and stability is crucial.
  • Standardization of DCreg manufacturing for therapeutic use is a key goal.
