Abstract

Radiation induces apoptosis of crypt intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) through a pathway that is largely dependent on p53. However, exactly how p53 mediates IEC apoptosis is unclear. Studies in vitro suggest that one mechanism by which p53 mediates apoptosis is through its ability to transactivate members of the TNF receptor family of 'Death Receptors'. Here, we examined the role of one of its member, TNF receptor type 1 (TNFR1), in an in vivo model of p53-dependent radiation-induced IEC apoptosis. We demonstrate that mice genetically engineered to be deficient in TNF receptor type 1 (TNFR1(-/-)) and mice injected with TNFR1-fusion chimeric protein (TNFR1-Fc; a competitive inhibitor of TNFR1) were partially protected (30-40%) from p53-dependent radiation-induced IEC apoptosis. However, we found no evidence to support the possibility p53 transcriptionally regulates the expression of TNFR1 nor increases the susceptibility of IEC to TNF-mediated apoptosis. Interestingly, we found that injection of TNF readily induced IEC apoptosis and that radiation induced a p53-dependent increase in the intestinal level of TNF. Furthermore, injection of a neutralizing anti-TNF mAb reduced p53-dependent radiation-induced IEC apoptosis by approxim...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
