Hedgehog Signaling Pathway02:33

Hedgehog Signaling Pathway

7.7K
The Hedgehog gene (Hh) was first discovered due to its control of the growth of disorganized, hair-like bristles phenotype in Drosophila, much like hedgehog spines. Hh plays a crucial role in the development of organs and the maintenance of homeostasis in both invertebrates and vertebrates. However, while Drosophila has only one Hh protein, mammals have multiple functional Hedgehog proteins - Sonic (Shh), Desert (Dhh), and Indian Hedgehog (Ihh). All of these homologous proteins have adapted to...

Determination01:51

Determination

19.5K
During embryogenesis, cells become progressively committed to different fates through a two-step process: specification followed by determination. Specification is demonstrated by removing a segment of an early embryo, “neutrally” culturing the tissue in vitro—for example, in a petri dish with simple medium—and then observing the derivatives. If the cultured region gives rise to cell types that it would normally generate in the embryo, this means that it is specified. In...

Chromatin Modification in iPS Cells01:32

Chromatin Modification in iPS Cells

2.0K
Chromatin modification alters gene expression; therefore, scientists can add histone-modifying enzymes, histone variants, and chromatin remodeling complexes to somatic cells to aid reprogramming into pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.
Compact chromatin makes reprogramming difficult. Enzymes, such as histone demethylases and acetyltransferases, are often added during reprogramming to loosen the chromatin, making the DNA more accessible to transcription factors. Molecules that inhibit histone...

Cadherins in Tissue Organization01:19

Cadherins in Tissue Organization

3.2K
The cadherins are a superfamily of cell adhesion molecules comprising over 180 variants, with specific tissues expressing a particular combination of cadherin types. Cadherins generally exhibit homophilic binding; i.e., cadherins on one cell bind to cadherins of the same or closely related type on another cell. Thus, cells of the same type have a specific affinity to bind to each other and sort themselves into clusters to form tissues.

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...

Cellular Differentiation00:57

Cellular Differentiation

4.0K
How does a complex organism such as a human develop from a single cell? It all starts from a single fertilized egg which gives rise to a vast array of cell types, such as nerve cells, muscle cells, and epithelial cells that characterize the adult? Throughout development and adulthood, cellular differentiation leads cells to assume their final morphology and physiology. Differentiation is the process by which unspecialized cells become specialized to carry out distinct functions.
A zygote is a...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cell Biology
  • Epigenetics

Background:

  • Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is vital for learning and memory.
  • Chromatin modification, particularly histone deacetylation by HDACs, regulates neural stem cell fate.
  • Specific roles of individual HDACs in neurogenesis are not fully understood.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a conditional knock-out mouse model to block HDAC1 expression in Nestin-positive neural stem cells.
  • Employed viral infection to delete HDAC1 in neural stem cells for in vitro differentiation studies.
  • Examined HDAC1 and HDAC2 expression across cellular stages of hippocampal neurogenesis.

Main Results:

  • HDAC1 and HDAC2 are expressed throughout all cellular stages of hippocampal neurogenesis.
  • In vitro deletion of HDAC1 in neural stem cells compromised neuronal differentiation.
  • In vivo reduction of HDAC1 expression using Nestin-CreERT2 mice was unsuccessful.

  • HDAC1 plays a significant role in neuronal differentiation during adult hippocampal neurogenesis.
  • Targeting HDAC1 may offer a strategy for controlling stem cell proliferation and neuronal regeneration.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate HDAC1's in vivo function and therapeutic potential.
