T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

2.7K
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...

The Extrinsic Apoptotic Pathway01:17

The Extrinsic Apoptotic Pathway

8.9K
The extrinsic apoptotic pathway is initiated when extracellular death-inducing signals, such as specific cytokines, activate the death receptors expressed on the cell surface. The immune cells involved in this pathway are natural killer cells (NK cells) and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. NK cells are critical in innate immune response, while cytotoxic T-lymphocytes are associated with adaptive immune response. These cells recognize specific receptors expressed on the altered cells and activate...

Phagocytosis of Apoptotic Cells01:17

Phagocytosis of Apoptotic Cells

5.3K
Cells undergoing apoptosis form apoptotic bodies that must be removed immediately to prevent inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and necrosis. Phagocytosis is carried out by professional phagocytes such as macrophages or  immature dendritic cells. Non-professional phagocytes such as  epithelial cells and fibroblasts also take part in this process; however, they are not as effective as professional phagocytes. 
Normal cells contain receptors that prevent them from being recognized...

The Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway01:31

The Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway

8.8K
Internal cellular stress, such as cellular injury or hypoxia, triggers intrinsic apoptosis. The B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family of proteins are the primary regulators of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. For example, during DNA damage, checkpoint proteins, such as Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM protein) and Checkpoints Factor-2 (Chk2) proteins, are activated. These proteins phosphorylate p53 which further activates pro-apoptotic proteins, such as Bax, Bak, PUMA, and Noxa, and inhibits...

Replicative Cell Senescence02:15

Replicative Cell Senescence

4.5K
Replicative cell senescence is a property of cells that allows them to divide a finite number of times throughout the organism's lifespan while preventing excessive proliferation. Replicative senescence is associated with the gradual loss of the telomere — short, repetitive DNA sequences found at the end of the chromosomes. Telomeres are bound by a group of proteins to form a protective cap on the ends of chromosomes. Embryonic stem cells express telomerase — an enzyme that adds...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

5.3K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Summary

Aging skin accumulates senescent cells due to increased inflammation. The cytokine IL-17A, produced by aging regulatory T cells (Treg cells), prevents the clearance of these damaged cells, promoting their buildup.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Skin aging involves cellular senescence and chronic inflammation.
  • Senescent cells, though targeted for removal, accumulate with age.
  • The interplay between inflammation and senescence is a key research area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate mechanisms of age-related chronic inflammation.
  • To analyze the impact of inflammation on senescent cell accumulation in skin.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the cytokine IL-17A levels in aging skin.
  • Investigation of regulatory T cell (Treg cell) function in aged skin.
  • Assessment of IL-17A's effect on senescent cell apoptosis.

Main Results:

  • Skin levels of the inflammatory cytokine IL-17A increase with age.
  • Aging regulatory T cells (Treg cells) shift from suppression to secretion of IL-17A.
  • IL-17A was found to increase resistance of senescent cells to apoptosis.

Conclusions:

  • Age-related increase in IL-17A promotes senescent cell accumulation.
  • Aging Treg cells contribute to increased IL-17A levels.
  • This creates an inflammatory environment hindering senescent cell clearance.
