Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

1.4K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.4K
Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma receptor (Eph) and its ligand, Eph receptor-interacting protein (Ephrin) were first discovered in the human carcinoma cell line, hence the name. Ephrin-Eph interaction guides cells to reach their appropriate location in adult tissues. They also play an essential role in the immune system by helping in immune cell migration, adhesion, and activation. Based on their structure and function, Eph is divided into two classes — EphA and EphB.

Transcytosis of IgG01:15

Transcytosis of IgG

3.6K
Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Immunology
  • Human Genetics

Background:

  • Intestinal homeostasis is crucial, yet complex, due to constant exposure to antigens and microbes.
  • Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) pathogenesis and therapeutic targets are key research areas.
  • Previous studies using mouse models and genetic screens provided insights but not a clear hierarchy of human intestinal barrier pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate how studying human Mendelian diseases can reveal critical pathways in intestinal homeostasis.
  • To understand the pathogenic mechanisms underlying severe intestinal pathology caused by single gene defects.
  • To identify druggable pathways for common forms of IBD.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of human Mendelian diseases with single gene defects affecting epithelial or immune cell function.
  • Comparative study of insights from gene inactivation in mice and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in human IBD.
  • Molecular dissection of monogenic intestinal diseases.

Main Results:

  • Human Mendelian diseases provide a unique model to study intestinal homeostasis perturbations in humans.
  • Single gene defects in these diseases directly impair epithelial and/or hematopoietic immune cell functions.
  • These studies highlight specific pathways critical for intestinal barrier function.

Conclusions:

  • Monogenic intestinal diseases offer unparalleled opportunities to elucidate human intestinal homeostasis mechanisms.
  • Molecular insights from these rare diseases can identify therapeutic targets for common IBD.
  • Understanding single-gene defects is essential for advancing IBD treatment strategies.
