The Eukaryotic Promoter Region02:40

The Eukaryotic Promoter Region

18.8K
The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences.  The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

Anaphase Promoting Complex00:50

Anaphase Promoting Complex

3.5K
The stepwise destruction of specific proteins is necessary for the progression and completion of the cell cycle. Such proteins are ubiquitinated by ubiquitin ligases and then subsequently destroyed by the proteasome. The SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box) and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) are two important ubiquitin ligases involved in cell cycle progression. While SCF is active throughout the cell cycle, APC gets activated during metaphase to anaphase transition. Cdc20 or Cdh1 binds to APC and...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

2.1K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Composition of Blood Plasma01:24

Composition of Blood Plasma

8.6K
Blood plasma is a fluid that contains approximately 92% water and 8% solutes. The solutes include various types of proteins, which constitute about 7% of the total solutes in the plasma. The high-molecular-weight proteins—albumins, globulins, and fibrinogen—are essential to plasma function. Albumins, making up about 60% of the plasma proteins, maintain the osmotic balance within blood vessels by preventing excessive water leakage. Additionally, albumins serve as carrier proteins,...

Enlargement of the Plasma Membrane01:22

Enlargement of the Plasma Membrane

2.4K
Cell division and enlargement are processes that require precise control. The control ensures that cell division cannot proceed unless the cell has grown to a specific size. A spherical, dividing cell requires an approximately 1.6X increase in its surface area to double its volume. The secretory pathway also has a significant role in cell membrane enlargement. Secretory vesicles that bud off from the Golgi apparatus and later fuse with the plasma membrane during exocytosis are a major source of...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Cell Biology
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Wound healing disorders, marked by delayed re-epithelialization, present significant clinical challenges.
  • Gelsolin (GSN), an actin modulator, plays a role in epithelial cell regeneration and apoptosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate recombinant human plasma gelsolin (rhu-pGSN) for ocular surface regeneration.
  • To establish rhu-pGSN as a novel therapeutic agent for complicated wound healing.

Main Methods:

  • In vitro, in vivo/ex vivo, and gene knockdown analyses of gelsolin's effect on cell proliferation and wound healing.
  • Molecular analysis of gelsolin expression in ocular tissues and tear fluid.
  • Assessment of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) dependent alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) transcription.

Main Results:

  • Gelsolin is expressed in ocular tissues and its concentration increases in dry eye disease tear fluid.
  • rhu-pGSN significantly enhanced corneal cell proliferation and accelerated wound healing in vitro and in vivo/ex vivo.
  • GSN gene knockdown reduced TGF-β dependent SMA transcription, indicating GSN's role in myofibroblast differentiation.

Conclusions:

  • Gelsolin is an intrinsic protein of the ocular system, secreted in tear fluid.
  • rhu-pGSN demonstrates significant potential for promoting corneal cell proliferation and wound healing.
  • GSN is identified as a key regulator of TGF-β dependent cell differentiation via SMA synthesis.
