Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:12

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.0K
Notch signaling was first discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, where it is involved in cell lineage differentiation. Notch signaling regulates the maintenance and differentiation of intestinal stem cells or ISCs by controlling the expression of atonal homolog 1 or Atoh1. Atoh1 directs cells to differentiate into secretory cells.
Direct cell-to-cell contact is needed for the activation of Notch signaling. The signal is initiated when a notch ligand binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, also...

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells01:23

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells

2.5K
The intestinal epithelial lining rapidly renews every 4 to 5 days. The renewal is facilitated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of the crypt– a gland located at the bottom of each villus. ISCs divide asymmetrically to form new stem cells and progenitor daughter cells. The daughter cells are called transit-amplifying (TA) cells which move upwards along the crypt and either differentiate into absorptive cells– the enterocytes or secretory cells– including the...

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:22

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.2K
Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma receptor (Eph) and its ligand, Eph receptor-interacting protein (Ephrin) were first discovered in the human carcinoma cell line, hence the name. Ephrin-Eph interaction guides cells to reach their appropriate location in adult tissues. They also play an essential role in the immune system by helping in immune cell migration, adhesion, and activation. Based on their structure and function, Eph is divided into two classes — EphA and EphB.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • SET domain bifurcated 1 (SETDB1) is essential for heterochromatin formation and intestinal homeostasis.
  • The specific role of SETDB1 in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) has not been previously elucidated.
  • Understanding SETDB1's function in IRI is critical for developing targeted therapeutic strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of SETDB1-mediated nuclear chromatin regulation in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) during IRI.
  • To assess the impact of inhibiting histone methyltransferase activity on IRI-induced intestinal damage.

Main Methods:

  • An experimental mouse model of intestinal IRI was established.
  • Jejunal tissues were analyzed morphologically (H&E, electron microscopy) and for cell adhesion molecule expression (immunohistochemistry).
  • Intranuclear SETDB1 localization and heterochromatin formation were examined using super-resolution microscopy, with sinefungin used as an inhibitor.

Main Results:

  • IRI induced significant IEC detachment, intercellular space dilation, and basement membrane damage.
  • Expression of E-cadherin and integrin-β4 was decreased in IRI-affected jejunum.
  • Increased nuclear SETDB1 in euchromatin and decreased heterochromatin were observed in IRI, which were reversed by sinefungin treatment, preventing morphological damage.

Conclusions:

  • SETDB1-mediated chromatin regulation is critically involved in the pathogenesis of intestinal IRI.
  • Inhibition of SETDB1 activity offers a potential therapeutic avenue for mitigating intestinal IRI.
  • Targeting SETDB1 may preserve intestinal barrier integrity and function following ischemic events.
