The Eukaryotic Promoter Region02:40

The Eukaryotic Promoter Region

18.7K
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...

Migration

8.9K
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.

Anaphase Promoting Complex00:50

Anaphase Promoting Complex

3.3K
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...

Cell Migration01:19

Cell Migration

6.5K
Cell migration is a process by which the cells move from one location to another, playing an essential role in embryological development, repair and regeneration, immune response, and metastasis. Cells migrate in response to chemical or mechanical signals generated by specific organs or tissues. The overall mechanism includes three steps - polarization, protrusion, and release. Polarization involves the formation of a distinct cell front and rear, which determines the direction of movement.

Cell Migration

18.7K
Cell migration, the process by which cells move from one location to another, is essential for the proper development and viability of organisms throughout their life. When cells are not able to migrate properly to their ordained locations, various disorders may occur. For example, disruption in cell migration causes chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Ischemic stroke triggers microglial cell activation and migration to the lesion site.
  • Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is involved in cellular metabolism and stress response.
  • The specific role of SIRT3 in microglial migration during ischemic stroke remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of SIRT3 in microglial cell migration in the context of ischemic stroke.
  • To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms by which SIRT3 influences microglial migration.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rodent model to induce focal ischemia.
  • Employed lentivirus-mediated SIRT3 overexpression and knockdown in N9 microglial cells.
  • Assessed microglial cell migration and CX3CR1 expression levels under normal and glucose-deprived conditions.

Main Results:

  • Increased microglial cell presence was observed at the ischemic lesion site post-MCAO.
  • SIRT3 levels were elevated in macrophages following ischemic events.
  • SIRT3 overexpression led to increased CX3CR1 levels and promoted microglial migration.
  • SIRT3-induced migration was dependent on G protein signaling.

Conclusions:

  • Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) plays a significant role in promoting microglial cell migration following ischemic stroke.
  • SIRT3 upregulates CX3CR1 expression, thereby enhancing microglial migration.
  • These findings highlight SIRT3 as a potential therapeutic target for modulating neuroinflammation in stroke.
