Autophagy: Paying Charon's Toll
Autophagy (literally self-eating) has diverse cytoprotective functions but also is linked to programmed cell death (PCD). In this issue, Qu et al. (2007) analyze the role of autophagy in PCD during development. Unexpectedly they find that autophagy induces apoptotic cells to present a signal to ensure their clearance, which is crucial for mouse embryonic morphogenesis.
متن کاملPaying the Toll in Nuclear Reprogramming
The ability to reverse lineage-committed cells toward pluripotent stem cells or to another cell type is one of the ultimate goals in regenerative medicine. We recently discovered that activation of innate immunity, through Toll-like receptor 3, is required during this conversion of cell fate by causing global changes in the expression and activity of epigenetic modifiers. Here we discuss, in a ...
متن کاملToll-like receptors control autophagy.
Autophagy is a newly recognized innate defense mechanism, acting as a cell-autonomous system for elimination of intracellular pathogens. The signals and signalling pathways inducing autophagy in response to pathogen invasion are presently not known. Here we show that autophagy is controlled by recognizing conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). We screened a PAMP library for e...
متن کاملPaying the Toll for Glucose Regulation: A Central Role for TLR3
Innate immunity is now known to impact tissue metabolic responses with members of the Toll-like receptor 2 and 4 (TLR 2/4) family implicated in dyslipidemia. However, the impact of other TLR proteins on metabolic regulation has remained poorly understood. In this issue of Diabetes, Strodthoff et al. (1) provide interesting new evidence that TLR3 regulates glucose metabolism though the modulatio...
متن کاملPaying more when paying for others.
Social behavior is heavily influenced by the perception of the behaviors of others. We considered how perceptions (and misperceptions) of kindness can increase generosity in economic transactions. We investigated how these perceptions can alter behavior in a novel real-life situation that pitted kindness against selfishness. That situation, consumer elective pricing, is defined by an economic t...
