NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway02:26

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway

9.7K
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.

T Cell Types and Functions

2.0K
When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...

Co-activators and Co-repressors

8.3K
Gene transcription is regulated by the synergistic action of several proteins that form a complex at a gene regulatory site. This is observed in eukaryotes, where the regulation of gene expression is a complex process. Regulatory proteins in eukaryotes can broadly be classified into two types – regulators that bind directly to specific DNA sequences and co-regulators that associate with regulatory proteins but cannot directly bind to the DNA. These co-regulators are further divided into...

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway01:20

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

11.5K
Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as  SH2...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF01:24

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF

382
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine, contributes significantly to the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease. It exists as soluble TNF and membrane-bound TNF, with actions mediated through TNF receptors (TNFR). TNFR activation leads to the release of proinflammatory cytokines, T-cell activation, collagen production, and leukocyte migration, all contributing to inflammation in Crohn's disease. Anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies, namely infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology and Neuroscience

Background:

  • The nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway regulates critical cellular processes including inflammation, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.
  • Dysregulation of NF-κB signaling is implicated in numerous human autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a prototypical inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • This review elucidates the role of aberrant NF-κB activation in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis.
  • The study aims to identify potential therapeutic targets within the NF-κB pathway for MS treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research on NF-κB signaling in the context of multiple sclerosis.
  • Analysis of the molecular mechanisms linking NF-κB dysregulation to CNS inflammation and demyelination.

Main Results:

  • Aberrant NF-κB activation is a key contributor to the inflammatory processes underlying multiple sclerosis.
  • Specific components of the NF-κB pathway represent promising targets for novel therapeutic strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Targeting the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway offers a viable therapeutic avenue for managing multiple sclerosis.
  • Further research into NF-κB modulation could lead to effective treatments for this debilitating neurological disorder.
