まとめ

組織因子経路阻害剤2 (TFPI2) はヒルシュスプリング病 (HSCR) で上昇し,腸神経細胞 (ENCC) 機能を阻害する. これは,TFPI2がHSCRの潜在的な治療標的であることを示唆しています.

科学分野:

発達生物学
胃腸内科
分子生物学

背景:

ヒルシュスプリング病 (HSCR) は,欠陥のある腸神経頂部細胞 (ENCC) のコロニー化による腸のギャングリオン細胞の欠如を伴う.
HSCRの病原性における腸内微環境の役割は調査中です.

研究の目的:

HSCRの腸内微環境における組織因子経路阻害剤2 (TFPI2) の役割を調査する.
TFPI2がENCCに影響を与えるメカニズムを解明する.

主な方法:

HSCR患者とマウスモデルのトランスクリプトミックのデータセットの分析.
qRT-PCR,免疫ヒスト化学,ウェスタン・ブロッティングを用いたTFPI2発現の検証.
ENCCの増殖,アポトーシス,および移住に対するTFPI2のインビトロ評価,経路分析および機能的救済実験.

主要な成果:

TFPI2の発現はHSCRアングリオン部分と胎児マウスの腸で著しく上昇しています.
TFPI2はENCCの増殖と移動を抑制し,同時にアポトーシスを促進する.
PI3K-AKTシグナル伝達経路のダウンレギュレーションが関与し,IGF-1による部分的な救済が示唆されている.

結論:

TFPI2は,HSCRにおけるENCC機能不全に寄与する新しい微環境因子として特定されています.
TFPI2はPI3K- AKT信号経路を抑制することでENCCを抑制する.
TFPI2はヒルシュプリング病の潜在的な治療目標です.

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

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.

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

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...

The Early Endosome: Endocytosis of Transferrin

The Early Endosome: Endocytosis of Transferrin

Essential proteins such as insulin or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and micronutrients such as iron enter a eukaryotic cell through receptor-mediated endocytosis. Subsequently, the early endosomes fuse with the vesicles containing such receptor-ligand complexes and play a vital role in sorting the incoming ligands and receptors. While the ligands are either degraded inside the vesicle or released into the cytosol, their receptors are returned to the plasma membrane for further rounds of...

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells

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...

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis

Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disorder, significantly affects the function of exocrine glands. This genetically inherited disease is characterized by the production of thick and sticky mucus, which can severely affect various organs and systems in the body.
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation,...
