NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway02:26

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway

7.4K
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.

Epigenetic Regulation01:37

Epigenetic Regulation

3.0K
Epigenetic changes alter the physical structure of the DNA without changing the genetic sequence and often regulate whether genes are turned on or off. This regulation ensures that each cell produces only proteins necessary for its function. For example, proteins that promote bone growth are not produced in muscle cells. Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.

Co-activators and Co-repressors02:04

Co-activators and Co-repressors

7.3K
Gene transcription is regulated by the synergistic action of several proteins that form a complex at a gene regulatory site. This is observed in eukaryotes, where the regulation of gene expression is a complex process. Regulatory proteins in eukaryotes can broadly be classified into two types – regulators that bind directly to specific DNA sequences and co-regulators that associate with regulatory proteins but cannot directly bind to the DNA. These co-regulators are further divided into...

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs01:15

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs

2.0K
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...

TGF - β Signaling Pathway01:16

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

7.3K
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...

The Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway01:31

The Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway

6.5K
Internal cellular stress, such as cellular injury or hypoxia, triggers intrinsic apoptosis. The B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family of proteins are the primary regulators of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. For example, during DNA damage, checkpoint proteins, such as Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM protein) and Checkpoints Factor-2 (Chk2) proteins, are activated. These proteins phosphorylate p53 which further activates pro-apoptotic proteins, such as Bax, Bak, PUMA, and Noxa, and inhibits...

Area of Science:

  • Cellular Biology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Aging Research

Background:

  • Nuclear factor κB (NFκB) signaling is upregulated in aging and linked to chronic inflammation.
  • The precise role of NFκB dynamics in cellular senescence has remained unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how alterations in NFκB nuclear dynamics influence cellular senescence.
  • To explore the role of NFκB inhibitor alpha (IκBα) in regulating NFκB activity and senescence.

Main Methods:

  • Depletion of IκBα in the presence of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) to alter NFκB nuclear dynamics.
  • Assessing NFκB-DNA binding, inflammatory gene expression, and cell cycle progression.
  • Measuring IκBα protein levels under replicative and oxidative stress in vitro.
  • Analyzing IκBα protein and NFκB-DNA binding in aged mouse hearts.

Main Results:

  • Sustained NFκB activity, induced by IκBα depletion, promoted cellular senescence.
  • Enhanced inflammatory gene expression and slowed cell cycle were observed with sustained NFκB.
  • IκBα protein decreased under replicative and oxidative stress.
  • Aged mouse hearts showed decreased IκBα and increased NFκB-DNA binding at age-associated gene loci.

Conclusions:

  • Altered NFκB nuclear dynamics, specifically sustained activity due to decreased IκBα, drive cellular senescence.
  • This process involves NFκB-dependent epigenetic changes that enhance inflammatory gene expression, contributing to aging.
  • Nuclear NFκB dynamics are critical in the progression of aging and age-related inflammation.
