Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

2.8K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits.  Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

Cell Adhesion Molecules - Types and Functions

7.7K
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are pivotal to multicellularity and the coordinated functioning of tissues and organ systems. They enable physical interactions between cells and provide mechanical strength to tissues. They also function as receptors for signal transmission across the plasma membrane. The CAMs are broadly classified into four families - integrins, cadherins, selectins, and immunoglobulin-like CAMs (IgCAMs).
CAM Families
The Integrin family of proteins is primarily  involved...

Immunoglobulin-like Cell Adhesion Molecules01:31

Immunoglobulin-like Cell Adhesion Molecules

3.5K
Immunoglobulin-like cell adhesion molecules or Ig-CAMs are a versatile group of cell surface glycoproteins belonging to the immunoglobulin protein superfamily. Ig-CAMs possess the characteristic immunoglobulin protein domains and other domains such as the fibronectin type III domain. The Ig domains are glycosylated to varying degrees in different Ig-CAMs.
Ig-CAMs exhibit either homophilic binding (to other Ig-CAMs) or heterophilic binding (to other ligands such as integrins). While most Ig-CAMs...

Selectins

3.5K
Cell adhesion is  an essential aspect of multicellularity. While stable cell interactions usually occur between cells of the same type, transient cell interactions occur between cells of different tissue types, such as between neutrophils and endothelial cells. Selectins are one class of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) that bind carbohydrate ligands to form transient cell adhesion. They are rod-like proteins with a long extracellular part of variable length ending with the lectin domain,...

Intracellular Signaling Affects Focal Adhesions01:17

Intracellular Signaling Affects Focal Adhesions

2.9K
Integrins act both as extracellular input receivers and as intracellular processing activators. As their name suggests, integrins are entirely integrated into the membrane structure. Their hydrophobic membrane-spanning regions interact with the phospholipid bilayer's hydrophobic region. These membrane receptors provide extracellular attachment sites for effectors like hormones and growth factors. They activate intracellular response cascades when their effectors are bound and active.

T Cell Activation and Clonal Selection01:22

T Cell Activation and Clonal Selection

7.4K
T cells are integral to our adaptive immune system, recognizing and effectively responding to foreign antigens. T cell activation and clonal selection are pivotal in orchestrating this immune response. This article elucidates these mechanisms, detailing the roles of cluster of differentiation (CD) markers, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, costimulatory signals, and the process of clonal selection.
Naive T cells that have not yet encountered an antigen express two primary CD...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Vascular Biology

Background:

  • T-cell extravasation is essential for immune responses during inflammation.
  • Endothelial cells transition from anti-adhesive to pro-adhesive states, facilitating leukocyte adhesion.
  • T cells express ligands that bind to endothelial adhesion molecules, promoting extravasation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize current knowledge on T-cell-endothelial cell interactions in inflammation.
  • To explore the role of these interactions in cancer immunotherapy.
  • To identify key players for developing novel therapeutic strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on T-cell-endothelial cell interactions.
  • Analysis of molecular mechanisms governing leukocyte adhesion and extravasation.
  • Discussion of therapeutic implications in inflammation and cancer.

Main Results:

  • T-cell-endothelial cell interactions are dynamic and involve specific adhesion molecules and their ligands.
  • These interactions are critical for T-cell migration to inflammatory sites and tumors.
  • Understanding these pathways offers opportunities for targeted therapies.

Conclusions:

  • Modulating T-cell-endothelial cell interactions holds therapeutic potential for inflammatory conditions and cancer.
  • Further research into the central mediators of these interactions is warranted.
  • This knowledge can inform the development of novel immunotherapies.
