Basal body docking in airway ciliated cells
Multiciliated cells (MCCs) in the respiratory epithelium play crucial roles in the innate defense system against airborne pathogens and pollutants. Each MCC possesses 200-300 cilia on their apical surface, which beat in a synchronized manner to clear mucus with foreign particles from the respiratory tract. Ciliary dysfunction leads to serious respiratory diseases including chronic infection as ...
متن کاملRhinovirus C targets ciliated airway epithelial cells
BACKGROUND The Rhinovirus C (RV-C), first identified in 2006, produce high symptom burdens in children and asthmatics, however, their primary target host cell in the airways remains unknown. Our primary hypotheses were that RV-C target ciliated airway epithelial cells (AECs), and that cell specificity is determined by restricted and high expression of the only known RV-C cell-entry factor, cadh...
متن کاملCentrin4p, a novel mammalian centrin specifically expressed in ciliated cells.
Centriole assembly plays an important role in centrosome duplication during the cell cycle and is a prerequisite for cilia formation during the differentiation of ciliated cells. In spite of numerous investigations, the molecular machinery that governs centriole/basal body formation remains enigmatic. Recent reports suggest that the ubiquitously expressed mammalian centrins, centrin2p and centr...
متن کاملPerspectives on the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila.
In biology, scientific discoveries are often linked to technical innovations made possible by an inspired choice of model organism. Ciliate species, especially Tetrahymena thermophila, have had historically significant roles as uniquely enabling experimental systems. More importantly, as the chapters in this volume attest, ongoing efforts of the T. thermophila model organism community have crea...
متن کاملembryonic surface ciliated cells in eleutherodactylus urichi (anura: leptodactylidae)
while our knowledge of anuran embryonic and larval surface ciliation and their diversity ofciliation patterns are significant, very few references were noticed on embryonic ciliation in direct-developinganurans, such as species in the genus eleutherodactylus. eleutherodactylus urichi embryos were found tohave surface ciliated cells during much of their development until a few days before hatchi...
