Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:12

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.1K
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 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...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells01:19

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

4.6K
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that can differentiate into most connective tissue cell types, except for hematopoietic cells, depending upon the source of MSCs. For example, bone-marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) can differentiate into osteocytes, hepatocytes, and pancreatic and neuronal cells. MSCs can be isolated from various sources such as bone marrow, placenta, adipose tissue, teeth, and Wharton’s jelly, a gelatinous substance in the umbilical cord. The ease of their...

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.

iPS Cell Differentiation01:22

iPS Cell Differentiation

2.7K
The ability of induced pluripotent stem cells or iPSCs to differentiate into most body cell types has stimulated repair and regenerative medicine research over the past few decades. iPSC-derived blood cells, hepatocytes, beta islet cells, cardiomyocytes, neurons, and other cell types can repair injuries or regenerate damaged tissue in diseases such as diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders.

Adult Stem Cells01:33

Adult Stem Cells

28.0K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce more stem cells or progenitor cells that differentiate into mature, specialized cell types. All the cells in the body are generated from stem cells in the early embryo, but small populations of stem cells are also present in many adult tissues including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. These adult stem cells typically produce the various cell types found in that tissue—to replace cells that are damaged or to continuously...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

MG53 protein promotes intestinal stem cells to become secretory cells by activating PPARα signaling. This mechanism aids gut homeostasis and shows therapeutic potential for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Stem Cell Biology
  • Molecular Medicine

Background:

  • Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) normally differentiate into various cell types to maintain gut homeostasis.
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves gut inflammation and damage, where ISC function is critical.
  • Priming ISCs towards secretory progenitor cells may benefit IBD patients, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the mechanism by which ISCs are directed towards secretory lineages.
  • To investigate the role of MG53 (TRIM72) in ISC differentiation and intestinal repair.
  • To explore the therapeutic potential of the MG53-PPARα pathway in IBD.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized genetic mouse models with MG53 deficiency and overexpression.
  • Analyzed ISC division patterns and lineage commitment.
  • Assessed the impact of MG53 on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) signaling and activity.
  • Investigated the role of PPARα using genetic ablation and pharmacological inhibition.

Main Results:

  • MG53 deficiency exacerbated intestinal injury, while MG53 overexpression ameliorated damage.
  • MG53 promoted asymmetric ISC division, increasing secretory progenitor cells via PPARα activation.
  • MG53 upregulated PPARα transcription and enhanced its activity by increasing endogenous agonists.
  • Inhibition of PPARα abolished the protective effects of MG53.

Conclusions:

  • The MG53-PPARα axis is crucial for directing ISC lineage commitment towards secretory cells, particularly during injury.
  • Targeting MG53-PPARα signaling offers therapeutic potential for IBD.
  • PPARα agonists represent promising novel therapies for IBD of various causes.
