Abstract
Background & aims: While it is well-known that ribosomes are critical for cell function, and their synthesis (known as ribosome biogenesis; "RiBi") is energy-intensive, surprisingly little is known about RiBi in vivo in adult tissue.
Methods: Using a mouse model with conditional deletion of Nat10, an essential gene for RiBi and subsequent translation of mRNA, we investigated the effects of RiBi blockade in vivo, with a focus on pancreatic acinar cells during homeostasis and tumorigenesis.
Results: We observed an unexpected latency of several weeks between Nat10 deletion and onset of structural and functional abnormalities and p53-dependent acinar cell death. While deletion of Trp53 rescued acinar cells from apoptotic cell death, Nat10Δ/Δ; Trp53Δ/Δ acinar cells remained morphologically and functionally abnormal. Deletion of Nat10 in acinar cells blocked Kras-oncogene-driven pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, regardless of Trp53 mutation status.
Conclusion: Together, our results provide initial insights into how differentiated cells respond to defects in RiBi and translation in vivo in various physiological contexts.
期刊介绍:
"Cell and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology (CMGH)" is a journal dedicated to advancing the understanding of digestive biology through impactful research that spans the spectrum of normal gastrointestinal, hepatic, and pancreatic functions, as well as their pathologies. The journal's mission is to publish high-quality, hypothesis-driven studies that offer mechanistic novelty and are methodologically robust, covering a wide range of themes in gastroenterology, hepatology, and pancreatology.
CMGH reports on the latest scientific advances in cell biology, immunology, physiology, microbiology, genetics, and neurobiology related to gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and pancreatic health and disease. The research published in CMGH is designed to address significant questions in the field, utilizing a variety of experimental approaches, including in vitro models, patient-derived tissues or cells, and animal models. This multifaceted approach enables the journal to contribute to both fundamental discoveries and their translation into clinical applications, ultimately aiming to improve patient care and treatment outcomes in digestive health.
