Receptor Downregulation in MVBs01:15

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs

2.1K
Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are mature endosomes that sort ubiquitinated proteins and then fuse with lysosomes to degrade the sorted proteins. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) form a complex that can be internalized through endocytosis, sorted into an MVB, and later degraded.
The EGFR can initiate signaling pathways that  lead to cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Overexpression of EGFR  stimulates cells to proliferate. Excessive  EGFR...

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways01:19

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

6.3K
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...

Intracellular Signaling Affects Focal Adhesions01:17

Intracellular Signaling Affects Focal Adhesions

2.7K
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.

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway02:26

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway

7.5K
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.

Amplifying Signals via Enzymatic Cascade01:22

Amplifying Signals via Enzymatic Cascade

8.5K
When a ligand binds to a cell-surface receptor, the receptor's intracellular domain changes shape, which may either activate its enzyme function or allow its binding to other molecules. The initial signal is amplified by most signal transduction pathways. This means that a single ligand molecule can activate multiple molecules of a downstream target. Proteins that relay a signal are most commonly phosphorylated at one or more sites, activating or inactivating the protein. Kinases catalyze...

Assembly of Signaling Complexes01:30

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

5.8K
Multiprotein signaling complexes are formed in a dynamic process involving protein-protein interactions at the cytoplasmic domain of transmembrane receptors or enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins associated with the receptor. These complexes ensure the activation and propagation of intracellular signals that regulate cell functions.
Interaction domains in cell signaling
Interaction domains recognize exposed features of their binding partners containing post-translationally modified sequences,...

Summary

Endosomal signaling is crucial for Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) function. Disrupting this pathway impairs inflammatory responses and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Signaling

Background:

  • Cell surface receptor internalization can terminate signaling or initiate endosomal signaling.
  • Fc receptors (FcRs) mediate immune responses by binding antibodies.
  • Understanding FcR endosomal trafficking and signaling is key to immune regulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of endosomal signaling in the function of human FcRs: FcαRI, FcγRIIA, and FcγRI.
  • To determine the intracellular trafficking pathways of these FcRs.
  • To elucidate the contribution of endosomal signaling to FcγR-mediated cellular functions.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-linking of FcRs with specific antibodies.
  • Analysis of intracellular trafficking using immunofluorescence and microscopy.
  • Investigating recruitment of signaling molecules (Syk, PLCγ, LAT) in endosomal compartments.
  • Assessing the impact of IRAP (insulin-responsive aminopeptidase) on FcγR signaling and function.
  • Measuring cytokine secretion and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).

Main Results:

  • FcαRI, FcγRIIA, and FcγRI were internalized upon cross-linking.
  • FcαRI trafficked directly to lysosomes.
  • FcγRIIA and FcγRI were internalized into IRAP-positive endosomes, recruiting signaling molecules like Syk, PLCγ, and LAT.
  • Disruption of FcγR endosomal signaling by inhibiting IRAP impaired cytokine secretion and ADCC.
  • Macrophage tumor cell killing via ADCC was compromised in the absence of IRAP.

Conclusions:

  • Endosomal signaling is essential for FcγR-mediated inflammatory reactions.
  • FcγRIIA and FcγRI rely on endosomal compartments for signal transduction.
  • Endosomal FcγR signaling may be critical for the therapeutic efficacy of monoclonal antibodies.
