Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:12

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.2K
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...

Master Transcription Regulators02:23

Master Transcription Regulators

7.1K
Master transcription regulators are regulatory proteins that are predominantly responsible for regulating the expression of multiple genes. Often these genes work in concert to drive a  complex process. Activation of a master transcription regulator can lead to a cascade of transcriptional activation necessary for that outcome. These regulators can directly bind to the regulatory sequences of the various genes involved, or they can indirectly regulate transcription by binding to regulatory...

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs

2.2K
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...

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

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.3K
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.

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells01:23

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells

2.7K
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...

Zygotic Development And Stem Cell Formation01:10

Zygotic Development And Stem Cell Formation

5.5K
The development of all multicellular organisms starts with the fusion of haploid cells called sperm and egg to form a diploid zygote. A zygote is a totipotent cell that can develop into a complete organism. The zygote undergoes cell division or cleavage to form an 8-cell mass. Until this stage, the cells are spherical, loosely attached, and remain totipotent. Totipotent cells are capable of developing both the embryonic and the extraembryonic tissues. However, as they continue to divide, they...

Area of Science:

  • Plant Biology
  • Root Development
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Plant roots possess a specialized endodermis layer with barriers for selective nutrient and water uptake.
  • Mature endodermal cells develop a suberin layer, a hydrophobic polymer, sealing inner root tissues.
  • Specific endodermal cells, termed passage cells, adjacent to xylem remain unsuberized, suggesting a role in vascular access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the existence and importance of distinct endodermal cell identities and cell files.
  • To identify genetic regulators controlling cell-file-specific suberization and passage cell differentiation in Arabidopsis thaliana.
  • To understand the spatiotemporal mechanisms underlying suberization and its connection to xylem proximity.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana for genetic and developmental studies.
  • Investigated genetic regulators controlling suberization patterns within the endodermis.
  • Analyzed cell-file-specific differentiation and its relationship with xylem development.

Main Results:

  • Identified a novel genetic regulator governing cell-file-specific suberization in the endodermis.
  • Demonstrated a direct link between this regulator, suberization, and passage cell differentiation.
  • Provided spatiotemporal insights into the mechanisms controlling endodermal barrier formation and selective cell fates.

Conclusions:

  • Passage cells represent a distinct endodermal cell type with a specific genetic basis for their differentiation.
  • The identified regulator provides a framework for understanding the radial organization of the endodermis.
  • This work highlights the functional significance of passage cells in facilitating vascular access and selective uptake in plant roots.
