IP3/DAG Signaling Pathway01:11

IP3/DAG Signaling Pathway

12.0K
Membrane lipids such as phosphatidylinositol (PI) are precursors for several membrane-bound and soluble second messengers. Specific kinases phosphorylate PI and produce phosphorylated inositol phospholipids. One such inositol phospholipids are the  phosphatidylinositol-4,5 bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], present in the inner half of the lipid bilayer. Upon ligand binding, GPCR stimulates Gq proteins to turn on phospholipase Cꞵ. Activated phospholipase Cꞵ cleaves PI(4,5)P2 and...

Phosphoinositides and PIPs01:42

Phosphoinositides and PIPs

8.5K
Phosphoinositides are a group of phospholipids containing a glycerol backbone with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate attached to a myoinositol sugar ring. The inositol head group extends into the cytoplasm, where it is modified by adding phosphate groups to form phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs.
Different phosphoinositides are synthesized and recruited on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. The localization of specific phosphoinositides concentrated in separate membrane...

Amplifying Signals via Enzymatic Cascade

8.4K
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...

Amplifying Signals via Second Messengers

6.8K
Many receptor binding ligands are hydrophilic; they do not cross the cell membrane but bind to cell-surface receptors. Thus, their message must be relayed by second messengers present in the cell cytoplasm. There are several second messenger pathways, each with its own way of relaying information. For example, the G protein-coupled receptors can activate both phosphoinositol and cyclic AMP (cAMP) second messenger pathways. The phosphoinositol pathway is active when the receptor induces...

Ligand-Gated Ion Channel Receptor: Gating Mechanism

2.2K
Ligand-gated ion channels are transmembrane proteins that play a vital role in intercellular communication and functions of the nervous system. They allow the influx of ions across the membrane once the neurotransmitter binds, allowing the subsequent transmission of electrical excitation across the neurons. Other ligand-gated ion channels, like the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor, permit anions like chloride into the cells on the binding of the GABA molecule. Their entry into the cell...

Signal Transduction: Overview01:26

Signal Transduction: Overview

8.3K
Cells respond to many types of information, often through receptor proteins positioned on the membrane. They respond to chemical signals, such as hormones, neurotransmitters, and other signaling molecules, initiating a series of molecular reactions to produce an appropriate response. This is called signal transduction. Cells also coordinate different responses elicited by the same signaling molecule via mediators, allowing molecular cross-talk.
Typically, signal transduction involves three...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Oxidized phospholipids (OxPAPC) do not directly affect tenocytes but modulate immune cells. These immune cells then enhance tenocyte proliferation, particularly in diseased tendons, via an amphiregulin-EGFR pathway, suggesting a role in tendon repair.

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Immunology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Tendinopathy involves inflammation and tissue damage.
  • Oxidized phospholipids (OxPAPC) are indicators of this damage.
  • Understanding tenocyte and immune cell interactions is crucial for tendon healing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the direct effects of OxPAPC on human tenocytes.
  • To explore how OxPAPC-modified immune cells influence tenocyte function.
  • To identify molecular mediators of immune cell-tenocyte crosstalk in tendinopathy.

Main Methods:

  • Treatment of human tenocytes with OxPAPC.
  • Co-culture of tenocytes with OxPAPC-treated dendritic cells (Ox-DCs).
  • Transcriptional profiling of Ox-DCs and confirmation of mediator function.
  • Analysis of EGFR expression in healthy and diseased tenocytes.

    • Main Results:

    • OxPAPC did not alter tenocyte morphology, growth, or collagen production.
    • Co-culture with Ox-DCs significantly enhanced tenocyte proliferation, especially from diseased tendons.
    • Amphiregulin (AREG), a ligand for EGFR, was identified as a key mediator.
    • Diseased tenocytes showed higher EGFR expression and a stronger proliferative response to Ox-DCs and AREG.

    Conclusions:

    • An amphiregulin-EGFR signaling axis mediates crosstalk between dendritic cells and tenocytes.
    • This interaction promotes tenocyte proliferation, offering a potential mechanism for tendon regeneration.
    • Targeting this pathway could be a therapeutic strategy for tendinopathy.
