research Patched1 Functions as a Gatekeeper by Promoting Cell Cycle Progression
The study investigated the role of Patched1 (Ptch1) in cell cycle progression and its function as a gatekeeper in preventing tumorigenesis, particularly in skin tumors resembling human basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Researchers found that loss of Ptch1 in mouse models led to rapid skin tumor formation, increased nuclear accumulation of cyclin D1 and B1, and enhanced cell proliferation, indicating Ptch1's role as a tumor suppressor. The study highlighted that Ptch1 loss predisposed cells to a tumorigenic fate by facilitating cell cycle progression, rather than through Wnt signaling. The research suggested that targeting the Hedgehog pathway, which involves Ptch1, could be a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment, as inhibiting this pathway induced tumor regression in Ptch1-deficient mice.
research Delta Opioid Receptors Presynaptically Regulate Cutaneous Mechanosensory Neuron Input to the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn
The study revealed that delta opioid receptors (DOR) played a crucial role in regulating cutaneous mechanosensation, including touch, by inhibiting synaptic input to the spinal dorsal horn through blocking voltage-gated calcium channels. DOR was primarily expressed in large-diameter, myelinated mechanoreceptors, challenging previous beliefs about its expression in small-diameter neurons. The research used a DORGFP knockin mouse model to map DOR distribution and found that DOR agonists like deltorphin II significantly reduced neurotransmitter release, suggesting a potential target for treating injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity. The study highlighted the distinct roles of DOR and mu opioid receptors (MOR) in somatosensory processing, with DOR affecting mechanoreceptors involved in touch sensation and MOR associated with nociceptive pathways. These findings provided insights into the molecular mechanisms by which opioids could modulate touch and pain sensations.
