Peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase is important in mice for beta-cell cilia formation and insulin secretion but promotes diabetes risk through beta-cell independent mechanisms
22 March 2025CONCLUSIONS: Eliminating Pam expression only in beta cells leads to morphological changes in insulin granules, reduced insulin secretion, reduced hIAPP amyloid burden and altered ciliogenesis. However, in mice beta-cell Pam deficiency has no impact on the development of diet- or hIAPP-induced hyperglycemia. Our data are consistent with current studies revealing ancient, highly conserved roles for peptidergic signaling in the coordination of the diverse signals needed to regulate fundamental...

Primary Cilia in Hepatic Biliary Hyperplasia: Implications for Liver Diseases
21 March 2025Primary cilia, hair-like projections on the surface of various cell types, play crucial roles in sensing and regulating environmental cues within the liver, particularly among cholangiocytes. These structures detect changes in bile composition, flow, and other biochemical signals, integrating this information to modulate cellular processes. Dysfunction in cholangiocyte cilia-whether due to structural abnormalities or genetic mutations-has been linked to an array of cholangiopathies and...

Polycystic Kidney Disease in Children: The Current Status and the Next Horizon
20 March 2025Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) are inherited disorders that share many features such as kidney cysts, hypertension, urinary concentrating defects, and progressive chronic kidney disease. Underlying pathogenic mechanisms for both include cilia dysfunction and dysregulated intracellular signaling. ADPKD has been traditionally regarded as an adult-onset disease, whereas ARPKD has been classically described as an...

Primary cilia shape postnatal astrocyte development through Sonic Hedgehog signaling
20 March 2025Primary cilia function as specialized signaling centers that regulate many cellular processes including neuron and glia development. Astrocytes possess cilia, but the function of cilia in astrocyte development remains largely unexplored. Critically, dysfunction of either astrocytes or cilia contributes to molecular changes observed in neurodevelopmental disorders. Here, we show that a sub-population of developing astrocytes in the prefrontal cortex are ciliated. This population corresponds to...

Research progress on nasal mucosal immunity and intranasal vaccines
19 March 2025Mucosal immunity can effectively prevent pathogen invasion of the mucosa at the initial stage of infection and inhibit pathogen replication within the body at later stages of infection. Therefore, the development of mucosal vaccines is of great significance for the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Intranasal vaccines can induce cellular, humoral, and mucosal immunity in the nasal mucosa and nasal-associated lymphoid tissue, producing secretory IgA, which plays a crucial role in...
