Insulin: The Receptor and Signaling Pathways01:28

Insulin: The Receptor and Signaling Pathways

1.2K
Insulin action is mediated through a receptor tyrosine kinase, akin to the IGF-1 receptor. The number of receptors per cell varies significantly, from 40 on erythrocytes to 300,000 on adipocytes and hepatocytes. The insulin receptor consists of linked α/β subunit dimers, forming a heterotetramer glycoprotein with two extracellular α subunits and two β subunits spanning the membrane. The α subunits inhibit the inherent tyrosine kinase activity of the β subunits, but...

Diversity of Antigen Receptors01:28

Diversity of Antigen Receptors

574
Antigen receptors are essential components of the immune system crucial in defending the body against foreign invaders. These receptors are present on the surface of B and T cells, enabling them to recognize antigens and mount an appropriate immune response.
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response01:31

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response

2.4K
Inositol-requiring kinase one or IRE1 is the most conserved eukaryotic unfolded protein response (UPR) receptor. It is a type I transmembrane protein kinase receptor with a distinctive site-specific RNase activity. As the binding mechanics of the misfolded proteins with the N-terminal domain of IRE-1 are unclear, three binding models — direct, indirect, and allosteric -- are proposed for receptor activation. Nevertheless, it is known that once a misfolded protein associates with IRE1, it...

Transducer Mechanism: Enzyme-Linked Receptors01:27

Transducer Mechanism: Enzyme-Linked Receptors

2.4K
Enzyme-linked receptors are cell-surface receptors acting as an enzyme or associating with an enzyme intracellularly. They make excellent drug targets. Drugs can bind to the extracellular ligand-binding domain or directly affect their enzymatic domain and alter their activity.
Major types that are helpful drug targets include:

Cells of the Innate Immune Response01:28

Cells of the Innate Immune Response

1.6K
The innate immune response is an immediate and non-specific response against pathogens, acting swiftly to prevent the spread of infections. The primary cells involved in this response are phagocytes and natural killer (NK) cells.
Phagocytes
Phagocytes police the peripheral tissues by removing cellular debris and responding to the invasion of foreign substances or pathogens. Many phagocytes attack and remove microorganisms even before lymphocytes detect them. The human body has two general...

Immune Surveillance by NK Cells and Phagocytes01:25

Immune Surveillance by NK Cells and Phagocytes

1.4K
Immune surveillance is an integral part of the innate immune system, involving the continuous monitoring of peripheral tissues to detect and respond to pathogens, infected cells, or cancerous cells. This surveillance is conducted primarily by natural killer (NK) cells and phagocytes, which employ distinct but complementary mechanisms to identify and eliminate threats.
Natural Killer Cells: The Fast Responders
NK cells are large granular lymphocytes found in the blood and lymphatic system. These...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Metabolic pathways
  • Cellular signaling

Background:

  • Immune responses protect hosts via pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) that detect threats.
  • PRRs, including Toll-like receptors (TLRs), NOD-like receptors (NLRs), and others, initiate inflammatory responses.
  • The metabolic control of immune cell activity by PRRs is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate immunometabolic reprogramming (IR) following the activation of various PRRs.
  • To elucidate the link between PRR activation and immune cell metabolic changes.
  • To highlight the importance of understanding IR for developing immunotherapies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on PRR signaling and immunometabolism.
  • Analysis of metabolic reprogramming (IR) upon activation of TLRs, NLRs, cGLRs, and RLRs.
  • Discussion of factors influencing IR-induced immune responses.

Main Results:

  • PRR activation significantly impacts immune cell metabolism.
  • The type, duration, and location of PRR activation dictate the extent and nature of metabolic reprogramming.
  • Metabolic reprogramming influences both pro- and anti-inflammatory immune cell functions.

Conclusions:

  • Immune cell metabolism (immunometabolism) is a key determinant of immune cell phenotype and function.
  • Understanding PRR-mediated immunometabolic reprogramming is essential for targeted immunomodulation.
  • This knowledge can inform the development of novel therapeutics for inflammatory diseases.
