Implantation of ovarian tissue allografts in outbred Wistar rats and inbred August rats against the background of induction of donor-specific tolerance was accompanied by an increase in liver content of mononuclear cells expressing LMP2 immune of proteasome subunit by day 37 after transplantation in comparison with day 0. Graft rejection, on the contrary, was associated with a decrease in the number of LMP2+ cells in the liver of rats of both lines during this period. The difference in the content of these cells and the graft take rate were higher in Wistar rats. The number of mononuclear cells expressing LMP7 immune proteasome subunit in the liver did not change in rats of both lines by day 37 in comparison with day 0. Thus, the level of immune proteasomes with LMP2 subunit in mononuclear cells of the liver is related to fine mechanisms of regulation of immune responses and their shift toward graft take or rejection.

The Proteasome02:18

The Proteasome

Eukaryotic cells can degrade proteins through several pathways. One of the most important amongst these is the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. It helps the cell eliminate the misfolded, damaged, or unwarranted cytoplasmic proteins in a highly specific manner.
In this pathway, the target proteins are first tagged with small proteins called ubiquitin. A series of enzymes carry out the ubiquitination of the target proteins - E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme), E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme), and E3...

Cell Specific Gene Expression

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...

Tissue Transplantation01:24

Tissue Transplantation

Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.

The Proteasome Structure01:17

The Proteasome Structure

The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is a well-known mechanism utilized by eukaryotic cells to remove cytoplasmic proteins that are misfolded, damaged, or no longer needed. In this pathway, the protein that needs to be eliminated undergoes a process called ubiquitination, where a chain of ubiquitin molecules is attached to the 48th lysine residue of the target protein. This ubiquitin modification helps the proteasome distinguish between a target protein and a healthy protein.
The proteasome is an...
