T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

1.0K
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...

The Ras Gene02:38

The Ras Gene

6.2K
The Ras-gene-encoded proteins are regulators of signaling pathways controlling cell proliferation, differentiation, or cell survival. The Ras-gene family in humans constitutes three primary members—the HRas, NRas, and KRas. These genes code for four functionally distinct yet closely related proteins—the HRas, NRas, KRas4A, and KRas4B. The involvement of mutant Ras genes in human cancer was first discovered in 1982 and is among the most common causes of human tumorigenesis.
Ras is a...

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway01:20

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

8.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • CCDC88B is implicated in chronic inflammatory diseases and dendritic cell (DC) migration.
  • It is a cytoskeleton-associated scaffold protein involved in protein interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify CCDC88B interactors and elucidate their role in DC migration and inflammatory diseases.
  • To understand the molecular mechanism of CCDC88B in regulating DC immune functions.

Main Methods:

  • Protein:protein interaction assays to identify CCDC88B interactors.
  • Analysis of Arhgef2 and Rasal3 mutant mice for neuroinflammation and colitis susceptibility.
  • In vitro migration and motility assays for Arhgef2 and Rasal3 mutant DCs.
  • RHOA activation modulation studies.

Main Results:

  • ARHGEF2 and RASAL3 were identified as CCDC88B interactors.
  • Mice lacking Arhgef2 or Rasal3 exhibited altered neuroinflammation and colitis susceptibility.
  • Arhgef2 and Rasal3 mutant DCs displayed distinct in vitro migration defects.
  • The CCDC88B/RASAL3/ARHGEF2 complex regulates DC migration via RHOA activation.

Conclusions:

  • ARHGEF2 and RASAL3 are key functional interactors of CCDC88B, influencing DC migration.
  • The CCDC88B complex provides a molecular mechanism for DC involvement in immune functions and inflammatory diseases.
  • Findings suggest potential therapeutic targets for inflammatory conditions.
