概括
三级淋巴组织 (TLT) 在非淋巴组织中形成. 在缺乏与自相关的7 (Atg7) 的老年小鼠中,脏产生了大型TLT. 由p-S6标记的mTORC1活性驱动免疫细胞的增殖和TLT在这些组织中的生长.
科学领域:
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 细胞生物学 细胞生物学
- 腎病理生理學 腎病理生理學
背景情况:
- 三级淋巴组织 (TLT) 是异位淋巴组织结构,在炎症或损伤期间在非淋巴组织中出现.
- 与自相关的7 (Atg7) 在细胞平衡中起作用,其缺乏可以导致病理.
- 拉巴胺素复合体1 (mTORC1) 途径的机械性标是细胞生长,增殖和免疫反应的关键调节者.
研究的目的:
- 研究与自相关的7 (Atg7) 缺陷和mTORC1信号在中三级淋巴细胞组织 (TLT) 的形成和发育中的作用.
- 为了确定mTORC1在管或TLT中的活性是否驱动TLT的形成.
- 探索mTOR抑制剂在病模型中调节TLT发育的治疗潜力.
主要方法:
- 产生管特定的Atg7淘汰赛小鼠来研究TLT形成.
- 从老年Atg7淘汰赛小鼠,多囊性病 (Pkd1RC/RC) 小鼠和缺血性脏分析TLT存在和p-S6表达.
- 用Torin2,一种mTOR抑制剂治疗Pkd1RC/RC和缺血性模型,并评估TLT的大小和数量.
- 利用管体特定的Atg7-/-猛禽 (mTORC1)-/-小鼠来区分管体与TLT mTORC1信号的作用.
主要成果:
- 患有管特异性Atg7淘汰症的老年小鼠在脏中表现出大量的大型TLT.
- 在各种损伤模型中,在管和TLT中观察到升高的p-S6,mTORC1激活的标志物.
- 用Torin2治疗显著减少了Pkd1RC/RC和缺血性脏中的TLT形成,与p-S6抑制相关.
- 管管特定的mTORC1 (猛禽) 淘汰对TLT发育的影响很小,这表明TLT中的mTORC1活性至关重要.
结论:
- 特别是在三级淋巴细胞组织 (TLT) 内的p-S6活性,而不是管,驱动免疫细胞的增殖并促进TLT的形成和生长.
- 在损伤和衰老的背景下,mTORC1信号传递是TLT发展的关键驱动力.
- mTOR抑制剂代表了一种有前途的治疗策略,用于管理与异常TLT形成相关的疾病.

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression
3.8K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
1.3K
Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway
3.4K
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...
