Abstract
Inhibitor of differentiation 2 (Id2) is a natural inhibitor of the basic helix–loop–helix transcription factors. Although Id2 is well known to prevent differentiation and promote cell-cycle progression and tumorigenesis, the molecular events that regulate Id2 activity remain to be investigated. Here, we identified that Four-and-a-half LIM-only protein 2 (FHL2) is a novel functional repressor of Id2. Moreover, we demonstrated that FHL2 can directly interact with all members of the Id family (Id1–4) via an N-terminal loop–helix structure conserved in Id proteins. FHL2 antagonizes the inhibitory effect of Id proteins on basic helix–loop–helix protein E47-mediated transcription, which was abrogated by the deletion mutation of Ids that disrupted their interaction with FHL2. We also showed a competitive nature between FHL2 and E47 for binding Id2, whereby FHL2 prevents the formation of the Id2–E47 heterodimer, thus releasing E47 to DNA and restoring its transcriptional activity. FHL2 expression was remarkably up-regulated during retinoic acid-induced differentiation of neuroblastoma cells, during which the expression of Id2 was opposite to that. Ectopic FHL2 expression in neuroblastoma cells markedly reduces the transcriptional and cell-cycle promoting functions of Id2. Altogether, these results indicate that FHL2 is an important repressor of the oncogenic activity of Id2 in neuroblastoma cells.

Abstract
CLP36 is a member of the PDZ-LIM family of proteins, which associates with alpha-actinin and localizes to the actin cytoskeleton. CLP36 is involved in the formation of stress fibers and focal adhesions; however, the molecular mechanism of how CLP36 regulates stress fiber formation is still unknown. To investigate the physiological function of CLP36, we performed yeast two-hybrid screening, and found that CLP36 interacts with palladin. Palladin is an important structural element of the actin cytoskeleton that is ubiquitously expressed and associates with alpha-actinin. The interaction was dependent on the PDZ domain of CLP36 and the C-terminus of palladin, and silencing of palladin suppressed localization of CLP36 to stress fibers. Overexpression of the PDZ domain of CLP36 also inhibited the localization of palladin to stress fibers, suggesting that the association of CLP36 and palladin is important for the localization of both proteins to stress fibers. Our experimental results indicate that alpha-actinin, CLP36 and palladin form a protein complex and contribute to regulation of the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ID2 is a member of a subclass of transcription regulators belonging to the general bHLH (basic-helix-loop-helix) family of transcription factors. In normal cells, ID2 is responsible for regulating the balance between proliferation and differentiation. More recent studies have demonstrated that ID2 is involved in tumor progression in several cancer types such as prostate or breast. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this work, we investigated, for the first time, the relationship between the expression of ID2 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and the clinicopathological features and prognosis of these patients. Immunohistochemistry was performed on tissue microarrays, which included 62 NSCLC tumors. In malignant tissues, ID2 expression has been detected in both the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments, but we have demonstrated that only nuclear expression of ID2 is inversely correlated with the differentiation grade of the tumor (p = 0.007). Interestingly, among patients with poorly differentiated tumors, high nuclear expression of ID2 was an independent and unfavorable prognostic factor for survival (p = 0.036). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that ID2 could be involved in tumor dedifferentiation processes of NSCLC, and could be used as prognostic marker for patients with poorly differentiated tumors.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-6 has been reported to inhibit differentiation of myoblasts and osteoblasts. In the current study, we explored the mechanisms underlying IGFBP-6 effects on osteoblast differentiation. During MC3T3-E1 osteoblast differentiation, we found that IGFBP-6 protein was down-regulated. Overexpression of IGFBP-6 in MC3T3-E1 and human bone cells inhibited nodule formation, osteocalcin mRNA expression and ALP activity. Furthermore, accumulation of IGFBP-6 in the culture media was not required for any of these effects suggesting that IGFBP-6 suppressed osteoblast differentiation by an intracellular mechanism. A yeast two-hybrid screen of an osteosarcoma library was conducted to identify intracellular binding partners to account for IGFBP-6 inhibitory effects on osteoblast differentiation. LIM mineralizing protein (LMP-1) was identified as a high affinity IGFBP-6 binding partner. Physical interaction between IGFBP-6 and LMP-1 was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation. Fluorescent protein fusion constructs for LMP-1 and IGFBP-6 were transiently transfected into osteoblasts to provide evidence of subcellular locations for each protein. Coexpression of LMP-1-GFP and IGFBP-6-RFP resulted in overlapping subcellular localization of LMP-1 and IGFBP-6. To determine if there was a functional association of IGFBP-6 and LMP-1 as well as a physical association, we studied the effect of IGFBP-6, LMP-1 and their combination on type I procollagen promoter activity. LMP-1 increased promoter activity while IGFBP-6 reduced promoter activity, and coexpression of LMP-1 with IGFBP-6 abrogated IGFBP-6 suppression. These studies provide evidence that overexpression of IGFBP-6 suppresses human and murine osteoblast differentiation, that IGFBP-6 and LMP-1 physically interact, and supports the conclusion that this interaction may be functionally relevant.

Abstract
PURPOSE External beam radiotherapy (RT) is often used in an attempt to cure localized prostate cancer (PCa), but it is only palliative against disseminated disease. Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) is a metastasis suppressor whose expression is reduced in approximately 50% of localized PCa tissues and is absent in metastases. Chemotherapeutic agents have been shown to induce tumor apoptosis through induction of RKIP expression. Our goal was to test whether RT similarly induces apoptosis through induction of RKIP expression. METHODS AND MATERIALS The C4-2B PCa cell line was engineered to overexpress or underexpress RKIP. The engineered cells were tested for apoptosis in cell culture and tumor regression in mice after RT. RESULTS RT induced both RKIP expression and apoptosis of PCa cells. Overexpression of RKIP sensitized PCa cells to radiation-induced apoptosis. In contrast, short-hairpin targeting of RKIP, so that RT could not induce RKIP expression, protected cells from radiation-induced apoptosis. In a murine model, knockdown of RKIP in PCa cells diminished radiation-induced apoptosis. Molecular concept mapping of genes altered on manipulation of RKIP expression revealed an inverse correlation with the concept of genes altered by RT. CONCLUSION The data presented in this report indicate that the loss of RKIP, as seen in primary PCa tumors and metastases, confers protection against radiation-induced apoptosis. Therefore, it is conceivable that the loss of RKIP confers a growth advantage on PCa cells at distant sites, because the loss of RKIP would decrease apoptosis, favoring proliferation.

Abstract
Overexpression of mutant p53 is a common theme in human tumors, suggesting a tumor-promoting gain-of-function for mutant p53. To elucidate whether and how mutant p53 acquires its gain-of-function, mutant p53 is inducibly knocked down in the SW480 colon cancer cell line, which contains mutant p53(R273H/P309S), and the MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cell line, which contains mutant p53(R248W). We found that knockdown of mutant p53 markedly inhibits cell proliferation. In addition, knockdown of mutant p53 sensitizes tumor cells to growth suppression by various chemotherapeutic drugs. To determine whether a gene involved in cell growth and survival is regulated by mutant p53, gene expression profiling analysis was performed and showed that the expression level of Id2, a member of the inhibitor of differentiation (Id) family, was markedly increased upon knockdown of mutant p53. To confirm this, Northern blot analysis was performed and showed that the expression level of Id2 was regulated by various mutant p53s in multiple cell lines. In addition, we found that the Id2 promoter is responsive to mutant but not wild-type p53, and mutant p53 binds to the Id2 promoter. Consistent with these observations, expression of endogenous Id2 was found to be inhibited by exogenous mutant p53 in p53-null HCT116 cells. Finally, we showed that knockdown of Id2 can restore the proliferative potential of tumor cells inhibited by withdrawal of mutant p53. Together, these findings suggest that one mechanism by which mutant p53 acquires its gain-of-function is through the inhibition of Id2 expression.

Abstract
The three Enigma subfamily proteins, Enigma, Enigma homologue, and Cypher/ZASP belong to the PDZ and LIM encoding protein family, which is characterized by the presence of a PDZ- and one or more LIM domains. PDZ/LIM proteins play important biological roles, and all members have been shown to associate with the actin cytoskeleton. We describe here the splice form specific expression patterns for the three Enigma subfamily members during zebrafish embryogenesis. Whole-mount in situ hybridization revealed common and distinct expression patterns for the different PDZ or LIM domain encoding splice variants. We further studied the role of enigma in zebrafish development. Enigma knockdown appeared to be embryonic lethal shortly after the end of gastrulation and in few surviving embryos led to elongation defects and disorganized somites. In summary, we show here the temporal and spatial expression patterns of the three Enigma family members and their PDZ and LIM domain encoding splice forms during zebrafish embryogenesis. Our results suggest that enigma is important for the formation and organization of somites and might play an important role for actin cytoskeleton organization during development.

Abstract
Id1, an inhibitory partner of basic-helix-loop-helix transcriptional factors, has recently been recognized as a potent contributor to angiogenesis. However, the molecular mechanism underlying its role in angiogenesis remains essentially unknown. Herein we demonstrate the subcellular localization of Id1 to be altered depending on the cellular context of vascular endothelial cells. Id1 was localized in the nuclei of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) cultured on uncoated plates, whereas it was translocated to the cytoplasm in HUVECs on Matrigel along with the formation of capillary-like structures. Treatment with the nuclear export inhibitor leptomycin B and mutagenesis analysis using green fluorescent protein-fused Id1 revealed CRM1/exportin-dependent nuclear export of Id1 in HUVECs on Matrigel. This nuclear export of Id1 was inhibited by protein kinase A (PKA) activation by dibutyryl cyclic AMP and forskolin but was promoted by PKA inactivation by H-89 and MDL-12,330A. Mutagenesis analysis of Id1 showed the phosphorylation of Ser-5 to possibly mediate the effect of PKA. These results suggest the function of Id1 as a transcriptional factor to be controlled by nucleocytoplasmic shuttling during angiogenesis and that PKA might be involved in this process. This may serve as a novel mechanism regulating angiogenesis and as a possible target for therapeutic vascular regeneration.

Abstract
Famine and viral infection, as well as interferon therapy have been reported to increase the risk of developing bipolar disorder. In addition, almost 100 polymorphic genes have been associated with this disease. Several form most of the components of a phosphatidyl-inositol signalling/AKT1 survival pathway (PIK3C3, PIP5K2A, PLCG1, SYNJ1, IMPA2, AKT1, GSK3B, TCF4) which is activated by growth factors (BDNF, NRG1) and also by NMDA receptors (GRIN1, GRIN2A, GRIN2B). Various other protein products of genes associated with bipolar disorder either bind to or are affected by phosphatidyl-inositol phosphate products of this pathway (ADBRK2, HIP1R, KCNQ2, RGS4, WFS1), are associated with its constituent elements (BCR, DUSP6, FAT, GNAZ) or are downstream targets of this signalling cascade (DPYSL2, DRD3, GAD1, G6PD, GCH1, KCNQ2, NOS3, SLC6A3, SLC6A4, SST, TH, TIMELESS). A further pathway relates to endoplasmic reticulum-stress (HSPA5, XBP1), caused by problems in protein glycosylation (ALG9), growth factor receptor sorting (PIK3C3, HIP1R, SYBL1), or aberrant calcium homoeostasis (WFS1). Key processes relating to these pathways appear to be under circadian control (ARNTL, CLOCK, PER3, TIMELESS). DISC1 can also be linked to many of these pathways. The growth factor pathway promotes protein synthesis, while the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway, and other stress pathways activated by viruses and cytokines (IL1B, TNF, Interferons), oxidative stress or starvation, all factors associated with bipolar disorder risk, shuts down protein synthesis via control of the EIF2 alpha and beta translation initiation complex. For unknown reasons, oligodendrocytes appear to be particularly prone to defects in the translation initiation complex (EIF2B) and the convergence of these environmental and genomic signalling pathways on this area might well explain their vulnerability in bipolar disorder.

Abstract
In eukaryotic organisms, ID proteins are key regulators of development when they function to preserve the stem cell state and prevent lineage determination. By fueling several key features of tumor progression (deregulated proliferation, invasiveness, angiogenesis and metastasis), ID proteins contribute to multiple steps of tumorigenesis. Through oncogenic processes that lead to their aberrant activation in tumors, ID proteins transfer the phenotypic traits of embryonic stem cells to cancer cells. However, ID proteins have recently emerged as highly specialized factors in post-mitotic neurons. The elevated expression of ID proteins arrests neurons in the axon growth mode and prevents cessation of axonal elongation. Here, we discuss how unique properties of ID proteins in cancer cells and neurons pave the way to unexpected therapeutic opportunities.
