まとめ

メチルトランスフェラーゼ類似14 (METTL14) とYTHドメインを含む家族タンパク質1 (YTHDF1) は,ポリピリミジン経路結合タンパク質1 (PTBP1) のm6Aメチル化を媒介する. この表遺伝的変異は喘息の滑らかな筋肉細胞の機能に不可欠です.

科学分野:

分子生物学
エピジェネティクス
呼吸器医学

背景:

呼吸道滑らかな筋肉細胞 (ASMC) の増殖と移動は,喘息の病原性における重要な要因である.
血小板由来成長因子-BB (PDGF-BB) はASMCの改造と喘息に関与しています.
PDGF-BB誘発のASMC反応におけるMETTL14,YTHDF1およびPTBP1の役割は明らかにする必要がある.

研究の目的:

METTL14,YTHDF1,PTBP1がPDGF-BBで刺激されたASMCに与える影響を調査する.
喘息の進行中のASMCの行動の調節におけるm6Aメチル化のメカニズムを探求する.

主な方法:

ASMCはPDGF-BBでリモデリングを誘導した.
細胞増殖,移動,侵入,炎症,酸化ストレスが評価されました.
mRNAと主要な分子のタンパク質発現レベルは,RT-qPCRとウェスタン・ブロッティングを用いて分析された.
m6Aの改変とタンパク質の相互作用を研究するために,RNA免疫降水 (RIP) と二重ルシフェラーゼアッセイを使用した.

主要な成果:

PDGF-BBはASMCの増殖,移動,侵入,炎症,酸化ストレス,およびマクロファージの極化を促進した.
PTBP1のノックダウンにより,PDGF-BBによる効果は逆転した.
METTL14とYTHDF1は,PTBP1mRNAのm6Aメチル化を促進することが判明しました.
増加したPTBP1発現はMETTL14の効果を相殺し,METTL14はPTBP1経由でNF- kB経路タンパク質に影響を与えた.

結論:

METTL14とYTHDF1はPTBP1のm6Aメチル化を媒介する.
PTBP1のこのm6A変異は,喘息におけるPDGF- BBによって誘発されるASMC機能的行動の調節に極めて重要です.

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

The TGF-β signaling pathway regulates cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and development. TGF-β ligands that induce TGF-β signaling are synthesized in their latent form. Several proteases or cell surface receptors such as integrins act upon the latent form, releasing the active ligand. There are three types of mammalian TGF-βs: (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) that bind as homodimers or heterodimers to TGF-β receptors. The TGF-β receptors...

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein....

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits. Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

Master Transcription Regulators

Master Transcription Regulators

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...

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates growth, proliferation, and cell survival in response to hormones, growth factors, or nutrient availability. This kinase exists in two structurally and functionally distinct forms: mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2). The first form (mTORC1) is composed of a rapamycin-sensitive Raptor and proline-rich Akt substrate, PRAS40. In contrast, mTORC2 consists of a...

Abnormal Proliferation

Abnormal Proliferation

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...
