T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

946
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...

Cholesterol: Significance and Regulation

499
Although not a source of energy, cholesterol plays a significant role as a foundational structure for bile salts, steroid hormones, and vitamin D, as well as being a crucial component of plasma membranes. Approximately 15% of blood cholesterol is derived from our diet, with the remainder synthesized from acetyl CoA by the liver and intestines. Cholesterol is eliminated from the body through its conversion into bile salts, which are eventually discarded in the feces.
Considering cholesterol and...

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway02:26

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway

7.2K
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.

Inflammatory Response

1.8K
An inflammatory response is a localized, nonspecific immune reaction that occurs when a tissue is injured. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are commonly called the cardinal signs and symptoms of inflammation. Inflammation can sometimes result in a loss of function.
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

Summary

Interleukin-17 (IL-17) produced by innate immune cells in fat tissue regulates its daily rhythm. This immune signaling is crucial for maintaining healthy adipose tissue function and overall metabolic balance.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Metabolism
  • Chronobiology

Background:

  • Adipose tissue homeostasis is critical for metabolic health.
  • Circadian rhythms influence numerous physiological processes, including metabolism.
  • The role of immune cells in adipose tissue circadian regulation is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of Interleukin-17 (IL-17) in adipose tissue homeostasis.
  • To determine if IL-17 expression in adipose tissue exhibits time-of-day-dependent regulation.
  • To elucidate the contribution of IL-17 to the circadian control of adipose tissue function.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of IL-17 expression in adipose tissue at different times of day.
  • Investigating the cellular source of IL-17 within adipose tissue, specifically tissue-resident innate lymphocytes.
  • Assessing the impact of IL-17 on adipose tissue function and homeostasis markers.

Main Results:

  • Interleukin-17 (IL-17) expression in adipose tissue is regulated in a time-of-day-dependent manner.
  • Tissue-resident innate lymphocytes are identified as the primary source of circadian IL-17 in adipose tissue.
  • IL-17 signaling drives the circadian regulation of adipose tissue homeostasis and function.

Conclusions:

  • Time-of-day-dependent IL-17 production by innate immune cells is a key mechanism for circadian regulation of adipose tissue.
  • This finding highlights a novel link between the immune system and circadian biology in metabolic health.
  • Targeting IL-17 pathways may offer new strategies for managing metabolic disorders.
