The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway01:20

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

9.7K
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...

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways01:19

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

6.7K
Signaling cascades usually lack linearity. Multiple pathways interact and regulate one another, allowing cells to integrate and respond to diverse environmental stimuli.
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...

T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

1.6K
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...

Notch Signaling Pathway03:14

Notch Signaling Pathway

4.6K
The Notch signaling pathway is a major intracellular signaling pathway that is highly conserved over a broad spectrum of metazoan species. It stands unique from other intracellular signaling mechanisms in animals because notch protein itself acts as the receptor as well as the primary signaling molecule.
The Notch gene came into the limelight in 1914 after the discovery that its mutation in Drosophila melanogaster leads to a serrated (or "notched") wing margin phenotype. It was not...

Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathways01:41

Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathways

7.8K
Wnt is a zygotic effect gene that is expressed during very early embryonic development. It regulates various processes in animals starting from early development through the adult stage, such as organogenesis in the embryo and maintenance of neuronal and blood stem cells. Wnt proteins can induce a wide variety of intracellular pathways depending upon the specific abilities of different Wnt ligands to form a complex with shared and cognate receptors in the presence of different co-receptors. The...

TGF - β Signaling Pathway01:16

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

8.1K
The TGF-β signaling pathway regulates cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and development. TGF-β ligands that induce TGF-β signaling are synthesized in their latent form. Several proteases or cell surface receptors such as integrins act upon the latent form, releasing the active ligand. There are three types of mammalian TGF-βs: (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) that bind as homodimers or heterodimers to TGF-β receptors. The TGF-β receptors...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are crucial for immune homeostasis.
  • The Interleukin-2 (IL-2) signaling pathway, involving CD25, STAT5B, and FOXP3, is essential for Treg function.
  • Loss-of-function mutations in these key mediators result in Treg disorders, termed Tregopathies, characterized by severe multi-organ autoimmunity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on defects in CD25, STAT5B, and FOXP3.
  • To highlight the shared biological background and clinical similarities of Tregopathies.
  • To discuss specific phenotypes, diagnostic laboratory findings, and emerging therapeutic strategies, including gene editing.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on CD25, STAT5B, and FOXP3 defects.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations and genetic findings in Tregopathies.
  • Evaluation of current and potential future treatment strategies.

Main Results:

  • Mutations in CD25, STAT5B, and FOXP3 lead to Tregopathies with overlapping clinical features but distinct phenotypes.
  • Laboratory findings can aid in the prompt genetic diagnosis of these syndromes.
  • Immunodysregulation, Polyendocrinopathy Enteropathy X-linked (IPEX) syndrome, caused by FOXP3 mutations, is a prototype Tregopathy.

Conclusions:

  • Defects in CD25, STAT5B, and FOXP3 underpin a spectrum of Treg disorders with shared immunological underpinnings.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on recognizing specific clinical and laboratory features to guide genetic testing.
  • Gene editing presents a promising avenue for potentially curative therapies for these debilitating autoimmune conditions.
