RNA Splicing01:32

RNA Splicing

57.1K
Splicing is the process by which eukaryotic RNA is edited before its translation into protein. The RNA strand transcribed from eukaryotic DNA is called the primary transcript. The primary transcripts that become mRNAs are called precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Eukaryotic pre-mRNA contains alternating sequences of exons and introns. Exons are nucleotide sequences that code for proteins, whereas introns are the non-coding regions. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are bonded...

Regulation of the Cardiovascular System01:27

Regulation of the Cardiovascular System

1.9K
The regulation of the cardiovascular system allows the body to adapt to various demands and maintain homeostasis.
The regulation of the cardiovascular system involves the autonomic nervous system (ANS), baroreceptors, and chemoreceptors, ensuring that heart rate and blood pressure are appropriately modulated in response to varying physiological demands.
The ANS comprises two main divisions: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system enhances...

Coronary Artery Disease II: Pathophysiology

38
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) originates from a series of events that impair the function of coronary arteries, the blood vessels responsible for delivering oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. The pathophysiology of CAD is closely linked to atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory and lipid-driven condition affecting the vascular endothelium.1. Endothelial DamageThe process begins with damage to the vascular endothelium, which serves as a protective barrier between the blood and the vessel...

Adrenergic Receptors: ɑ Subtype01:31

Adrenergic Receptors: ɑ Subtype

1.9K
Adrenoceptors are classified into α and ꞵ classes based on their potencies to catecholamine agonists. α-adrenoceptors show the following order of catecholamine potency:
Adrenaline ≥ Noradrenaline >> Isoprenaline
α-adrenoceptors are further divided into α1 and α2-adrenoceptors.
α1-Adrenoceptors: These receptors are located postsynaptically on the effector organs and cause constriction of smooth muscle mediated by activation of phospholipase...

RNA Editing02:23

RNA Editing

9.2K
RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification where a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) nucleotide sequence is changed by base insertion, deletion, or modification. The extent of RNA editing varies from a few hundred bases, in mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomes, to a just single base, in nuclear genes of mammals. Even a single base change in the pre-mRNA can convert a codon for one amino acid into the codon for another amino acid or a stop codon. This type of re-coding can significantly affect the...

Transducer Mechanism: Enzyme-Linked Receptors

2.8K
Enzyme-linked receptors are cell-surface receptors acting as an enzyme or associating with an enzyme intracellularly. They make excellent drug targets. Drugs can bind to the extracellular ligand-binding domain or directly affect their enzymatic domain and alter their activity.
Major types that are helpful drug targets include:

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Biology
  • Metabolic Disease Research
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Apolipoprotein E receptor-2 (apoER2) has splice variants differing in exon 19 presence.
  • These variants impact cardiometabolic disease and vascular response.
  • Understanding apoER2's role is crucial for disease modulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Compare vascular and metabolic disease responses between mice expressing apoER2 with or without exon 19.
  • Determine the specific impact of the apoER2 exon 19 motif.
  • Investigate apoER2's role in atherosclerosis and insulin resistance.

Main Methods:

  • Genetically modified mice expressing specific apoER2 splice variants were used.
  • Vascular response to endothelial denudation was assessed via neointima area.
  • Diet-induced obesity, atherosclerosis, and metabolic dysfunction were studied using high-fat diets.

Main Results:

  • Both apoER2 variants partially protected against neointima formation and atherosclerosis.
  • Exon 19 expression was necessary for complete protection against injury-induced neointima.
  • Exclusion of exon 19 exacerbated adipocyte inflammation, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance.

Conclusions:

  • Distinct, cell-type-specific roles for apoER2 cytoplasmic variants in cardiometabolic disease.
  • The apoER2 exon 19 motif is critical for vascular protection and metabolic homeostasis.
  • Targeting apoER2 variants may offer therapeutic strategies for metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
