We hypothesized that macrophages undergo polarization state changes over the MI time course and assessed macrophage polarization transcrip- tomic signatures over the frst week of MI. C57BL/6 J male mice (3–6 months old) were subjected to permanent coronary artery ligation to induce MI, and macrophages were isolated from the infarct region at days 1, 3, and 7 post-MI. Day 0, no MI resident cardiac macrophages served as the negative MI control. Whole transcriptome analysis was performed using RNA- sequencing on n = 4 pooled sets for each time. Day 1 macrophages displayed a unique pro-infammatory, extracellular matrix (ECM)-degrading signature. By fow cytometry, day 0 macrophages were largely F4/80highLy6Clow resident macrophages, whereas day 1 macrophages were largely F4/80lowLy6Chigh infltrating monocytes. Day 3 macrophages exhibited increased proliferation and phagocytosis, and expression of genes related to mitochondrial function and oxidative phosphorylation, indicative of metabolic reprogramming. Day 7 macrophages displayed a pro-reparative signature enriched for genes involved in ECM remodeling and scar formation. By triple in situ hybridization, day 7 infarct macrophages in vivo expressed collagen I and periostin mRNA. Our results indicate macrophages show distinct gene expression profles over the frst week of MI, with metabolic reprogramming important for polarization. In addition to serving as indirect mediators of ECM remodeling, macrophages are a direct source of ECM components. Our study is the frst to report the detailed changes in the macrophage transcriptome over the frst week of MI.

These cells are relatively easy to obtain from total bone marrow cells by culturing under the influence of IL-3 or stem cell factor (SCF). After 3 to 4 weeks in culture, a nearly homogenous cell population of toluidine blue-positive cells are often obtained. However, the question is how relevant equivalents these cells are to normal tissue MCs. By comparing the total transcriptome of purified peritoneal MCs with BMMCs, here we obtained a comparative view of these cells.

  • Beclin 1 Regulates Neuronal Transforming Growth Factor-Β Signaling by Mediating Recycling of the Type I Receptor ALK5 Caitlin E
    O’Brien et al. Molecular Neurodegeneration (2015) 10:69 DOI 10.1186/s13024-015-0065-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Beclin 1 regulates neuronal transforming growth factor-β signaling by mediating recycling of the type I receptor ALK5 Caitlin E. O’Brien1,2,3, Liana Bonanno2,3,4, Hui Zhang2,3 and Tony Wyss-Coray2,3* Abstract Background: Beclin 1 is a key regulator of multiple trafficking pathways, including autophagy and receptor recycling in yeast and microglia. Decreased beclin 1 levels in the CNS result in neurodegeneration, an effect attributed to impaired autophagy. However, neurons also rely heavily on trophic factors, and signaling through these pathways requires the proper trafficking of trophic factor receptors. Results: We discovered that beclin 1 regulates signaling through the neuroprotective TGF-β pathway. Beclin 1 is required for recycling of the type I TGF-β receptor ALK5. We show that beclin 1 recruits the retromer to ALK5 and facilitates its localization to Rab11+ endosomes. Decreased levels of beclin 1, or its binding partners VPS34 and UVRAG, impair TGF-β signaling. Conclusions: These findings identify beclin 1 as a positive regulator of a trophic signaling pathway via receptor recycling, and suggest that neuronal death induced by decreased beclin 1 levels may also be due to impaired trophic factor signaling.

G-Protein-gekoppelter Rezeptor aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie Wechseln zu: Navigation , Suche Der Begriff G-Protein-gekoppelter Rezeptor (kurz GPCR , für englisch G protein-coupled receptor ) wird in der Biologie für Rezeptoren in der Zellmembran verwendet, die Signale über GTP -bindende Proteine (kurz G-Proteine ) in das Zellinnere weiterleiten (Signaltransduktion ). Diese stellen die größte und vielseitigste Gruppe von Membranrezeptoren dar. In der Neurobiologie wird für G-Protein-gekoppelte Rezeptoren häufig der Begriff metabotrope Rezeptoren verwendet, um sie von einem anderen Rezeptortyp, den ligandengesteuerten Ionenkanälen (Ionotroper Rezeptor), zu unterscheiden. G-Protein-gekoppelte Rezeptoren sind für die Verarbeitung von Licht -, Geruchs - und einer Vielzahl von Geschmacksreizen verantwortlich. Sie spielen eine entscheidende Rolle bei Entzündungsprozessen , der gezielten Zellbewegung (Chemotaxis ), dem Transport von Stoffen durch die Zellmembran (Endozytose und Exozytose ) sowie beim Zellwachstum und bei der Zelldifferenzierung . Sie sind darüber hinaus als Zielstrukturen für die Wirkung von Hormonen , wie Adrenalin oder Glucagon , und Neurotransmittern , wie Serotonin und Acetylcholin , verantwortlich. Auch einige Viren nutzen G-Protein-gekoppelte Rezeptoren als Bindungsstellen für den Eintritt in die Zelle (beispielsweise HIV ). Definition Als G-Protein-gekoppelte Rezeptoren im engeren Sinn werden alle heptahelikalen, das heißt mit 7 Helices in der Zellmembran verankerten Rezeptoren bezeichnet, die zur Bindung und Aktivierung von G-Proteinen befähigt sind. Zusätzlich zur Bindung von G-Proteinen sind viele dieser Rezeptoren in der Lage, auch mit anderen signalweiterleitenden Proteinen zu interagieren.

Stimuli received at the cell surface and transduced to the nucleus can expect to be modified by any number of inputs in a highly context-dependent and cell-specific manner. Nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) and transforming growth factor β-1 (TGFβ-1) are not only critical factors mediating inflammation, but they also play a substantial role in cancer progression. Therefore, understanding the intersection of these factors may shed light on inflammatory diseases and progression of cancer in skin. However, little is known about how TGFβ-1 and NFκB interact in keratinocytes, which rely heavily on both factors to maintain homeostasis.

Sharp1 and Boryana Stamova1,2* Abstract Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has a high morbidity and mortality. The peripheral immune system and cross-talk between peripheral blood and brain have been implicated in the ICH immune response. Thus, we delineated the gene networks associated with human ICH in the peripheral blood transcriptome. We also compared the differentially expressed genes in blood following ICH to a prior human study of perihematomal brain tissue. Methods: We performed peripheral blood whole-transcriptome analysis of ICH and matched vascular risk factor control subjects (n = 66). Gene co-expression network analysis identified groups of co-expressed genes (modules) associated with ICH and their most interconnected genes (hubs). Mixed-effects regression identified differentially expressed genes in ICH compared to controls. Results: Of seven ICH-associated modules, six were enriched with cell-specific genes: one neutrophil module, one neutrophil plus monocyte module, one T cell module, one Natural Killer cell module, and two erythroblast modules. The neutrophil/monocyte modules were enriched in inflammatory/immune pathways; the T cell module in T cell receptor signaling genes; and the Natural Killer cell module in genes regulating alternative splicing, epigenetic, and post-translational modifications.

    cells Review Association between Inflammation and Function of Cell Adhesion Molecules Influence on Gastrointestinal Cancer Development Hsiang-Wei Huang 1, Cheng-Chih Chang 2, Chia-Siu Wang 2 and Kwang-Huei Lin 1,3,4,* 1 Department of Biochemistry, College of Medicine, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan 333, Taiwan; [email protected] 2 Department of General Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at Chia-yi, Chia-yi 613, Taiwan; [email protected] (C.-C.C.); [email protected] (C.-S.W.) 3 Liver Research Center, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan 333, Taiwan 4 Research Center for Chinese Herbal Medicine, College of Human Ecology, Chang Gung University of Science and Technology, Taoyuan 333, Taiwan * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel./Fax: +886-3-211-8263 Abstract: Gastrointestinal cancer is highly associated with inflammatory processes inducing the release of cytokines from cancer or immune cells, including interferons, interleukins, chemokines, colony-stimulating factors, and growth factors, which promote or suppress tumor progression. Inflammatory cytokines within the tumor microenvironment promote immune cell infiltration. Infiltrating immune, and tumor-surrounding stromal cells support tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis, and immunosuppression through communication with inflammatory cytokines and cell adhesion molecules. Notably, infiltrating immune and tumor cells present immunosuppressive molecules, such as programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and CD80/CD86.
