Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

4.8K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

8.4K
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:12

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.2K
Notch signaling was first discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, where it is involved in cell lineage differentiation. Notch signaling regulates the maintenance and differentiation of intestinal stem cells or ISCs by controlling the expression of atonal homolog 1 or Atoh1. Atoh1 directs cells to differentiate into secretory cells.
Direct cell-to-cell contact is needed for the activation of Notch signaling. The signal is initiated when a notch ligand binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, also...

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions

5.3K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells01:23

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells

2.8K
The intestinal epithelial lining rapidly renews every 4 to 5 days. The renewal is facilitated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of the crypt– a gland located at the bottom of each villus. ISCs divide asymmetrically to form new stem cells and progenitor daughter cells. The daughter cells are called transit-amplifying (TA) cells which move upwards along the crypt and either differentiate into absorptive cells– the enterocytes or secretory cells– including the...

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:22

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.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • The tumor suppressor protein p53 is well-known for its role in cancer.
  • Its function in parasitic infections and intestinal type 2 immunity remains largely unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of p53 in intestinal type 2 immunity against parasitic infections.
  • To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying p53's function in this context.

Main Methods:

  • Infection models using parasites like Tritrichomonas muris and Nippostrongylus brasiliensis.
  • Analysis of p53's role in the tuft cell-IL-25-type 2 innate lymphoid cell circuit.
  • Investigating the transcriptional regulation of Lrmp by p53 in tuft cells.

Main Results:

  • p53 is essential for mounting an effective intestinal type 2 immune response to parasitic infections.
  • p53 regulates the tuft cell-IL-25 pathway, a key component of type 2 immunity.
  • p53's action involves the transcriptional regulation of Lrmp in tuft cells, impacting calcium influx and IL-25 release.

Conclusions:

  • p53 plays a previously unrecognized critical role in intestinal type 2 immunity and host defense against parasites.
  • p53 acts as a guardian of immune integrity in the intestine, particularly during parasitic infections.
