Autophagy01:27

Autophagy

5.6K
Autophagy is a self-digesting process by which a cell protects itself from threats both within and outside the cell, ranging from abnormal proteins to invading bacteria. In this process, obsolete components of the cell and invading microbes are degraded by hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment of the lysosomal lumen.
An autophagic pathway consists of a series of signaling events activated in response to diverse stress and physiological conditions such as food deprivation,...

Autophagic Cell Death01:18

Autophagic Cell Death

4.3K
Christian de Duve discovered “autophagy,” a process in which cellular components are engulfed by membrane-bound organelles called autophagosomes. The autophagosomes then fuse with lysosomes to digest the enclosed contents. Autophagy is generally activated in cells to prevent cell death. However, cell death is triggered when the damage is beyond repair.
Autophagy and Apoptosis
Autophagy can activate apoptosis. In normal conditions, the autophagy activating protein Beclin-1 and...

T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

2.1K
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...

Delivery Pathways to the Lysosome01:36

Delivery Pathways to the Lysosome

8.7K
Eukaryotic cells use different mechanisms to eliminate toxic waste obsolete and worn-out substances. Lysosomes play a pivotal role in this, and hence, these substances are carried to the lysosome from other parts of the cell and extracellular space through different pathways. The most elaborately studied pathways to the lysosome are the endocytic pathways.
Endocytosis
In endocytosis, the cell membrane takes up macromolecules and particles from the surrounding medium. Clathrin-mediated...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF01:24

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF

445
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine, contributes significantly to the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease. It exists as soluble TNF and membrane-bound TNF, with actions mediated through TNF receptors (TNFR). TNFR activation leads to the release of proinflammatory cytokines, T-cell activation, collagen production, and leukocyte migration, all contributing to inflammation in Crohn's disease. Anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies, namely infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab...

Inflammatory Response01:28

Inflammatory Response

15.8K
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

Autophagy, regulated by ATG9A, suppresses skin inflammation by inhibiting STING activation and Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1)-dependent cell death, revealing a novel anti-inflammatory mechanism.

  • Immunology
  • Cellular Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and type I interferons (IFNs) are key inflammatory mediators.
  • Autophagy is a cellular degradation process with roles in immunity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of autophagy in regulating skin inflammation.
  • To elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which autophagy influences inflammatory pathways.
  • To explore the connection between autophagy, STING activation, and ZBP1-dependent cell death.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized genetic models to study autophagy-deficient cells and tissues.
  • Investigated the impact of ATG9A on STING signaling pathways.
  • Assessed Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1)-dependent cell death in inflammatory conditions.

Main Results:

  • ATG9A-mediated autophagy was found to suppress skin inflammation.
  • Autophagy activation inhibited STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) activation.
  • Suppression of ZBP1-dependent cell death was observed with ATG9A-mediated autophagy.

Conclusions:

  • Autophagy acts as a crucial regulator of skin inflammation.
  • ATG9A-mediated autophagy restrains inflammation by dampening STING signaling.
  • This pathway provides a novel mechanism for controlling ZBP1-dependent cell death during inflammation.
