Negative Regulator Molecules01:23

Negative Regulator Molecules

35.4K
Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

TGF - β Signaling Pathway01:16

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

7.4K
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...

Inhibition of Cdk Activity02:34

Inhibition of Cdk Activity

4.8K
The orderly progression of the cell cycle depends on the activation of Cdk protein by binding to its cyclin partner. However, the cell cycle must be restricted when undergoing abnormal changes. Most cancers correlate to the deregulated cell cycle, and since Cdks are a central component of the cell cycle, Cdk inhibitors are extensively studied to develop anticancer agents. For instance, cyclin D associates with several Cdks, such as Cdk 4/6, to form an active complex. The cyclin D-Cdk4/6 complex...

Molecular Factors Affecting Cell Division01:27

Molecular Factors Affecting Cell Division

3.2K
Several external and internal factors influence the initiation and inhibition of cell division. For instance, the death of nearby cells or the release of human growth hormone (hGH) promotes cell division. In contrast, lack of hGH or crowding of cells can inhibit cell division.
Several proteins function as internal regulators to ensure each cell cycle stage is completed faithfully before proceeding to the next. Regulator molecules may act directly or influence the activity or production of other...

Mitogens and the Cell Cycle02:38

Mitogens and the Cell Cycle

6.6K
Mitogens and their receptors play a crucial role in controlling the progression of the cell cycle. However, the loss of mitogenic control over cell division leads to tumor formation. Therefore, mitogens and mitogen receptors play an important role in cancer research. For instance, the epidermal growth factor (EGF) - a type of mitogen and its transmembrane receptor (EGFR), decides the fate of the cell's proliferation. When EGF binds to EGFR, a member of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

4.6K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Platelet-derived growth factor C (PDGF-C) is implicated in vascular system functions and cell proliferation.
  • The precise molecular mechanisms underlying PDGF-C's regulation of cell proliferation remain incompletely understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the molecular mechanism of PDGF-C in modulating cell proliferation.
  • To elucidate the role of block of proliferation 1 (BOP1) in PDGF-C signaling.

Main Methods:

  • Screening for factors regulated by PDGF-C.
  • Analyzing BOP1 mRNA and protein levels in PDGF-C treated cells and PDGF-C deficient mice.
  • Investigating the effects of BOP1 overexpression and knockdown on HEK293A cell proliferation.

Main Results:

  • PDGF-C treatment downregulated BOP1 at both mRNA and protein levels.
  • BOP1 was upregulated in PDGF-C deficient mice.
  • Overexpression of BOP1 inhibited cell proliferation, while BOP1 knockdown promoted it.
  • Downregulation of BOP1 attenuated the mitogenic effect of PDGF-C.

Conclusions:

  • A novel PDGF-C-BOP1 signaling pathway that modulates cell proliferation has been identified.
  • BOP1 acts as a critical mediator in PDGF-C's regulation of cell growth.
