Abstract
Cells are constantly submitted to external mechanical stresses, which they must withstand and respond to. By forming a physical boundary between cells and their environment that is also a biochemical platform, the plasma membrane (PM) is a key interface mediating both cellular response to mechanical stimuli, and subsequent biochemical responses. Here, we review the role of the PM as a mechanosensing structure. We first analyse how the PM responds to mechanical stresses, and then discuss how this mechanical response triggers downstream biochemical responses. The molecular players involved in PM mechanochemical transduction include sensors of membrane unfolding, membrane tension, membrane curvature or membrane domain rearrangement. These sensors trigger signalling cascades fundamental both in healthy scenarios and in diseases such as cancer, which cells harness to maintain integrity, keep or restore homeostasis and adapt to their external environment. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Forces in cancer: interdisciplinary approaches in tumour mechanobiology'.

Abstract
Proteasome primarily degrades the unneeded or damaged proteins by proteolysis. Disruption of the brain barrier and its resulting meningoencephalitis caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis are important pathological events in non-permissive hosts. In this study, the results showed upregulated proteasome during A. cantonensis infection. Occludin degradation and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activity were significantly increased in infected mice than in uninfected mice. Moreover, confocal immunoflourescence microscopy showed that occludin was co-localized with MMP-9. The infected-mice were treated with proteasomal activity inhibitor MG132 by 1.5 and 3.0 mg/kg/day, which resulted in significantly reduced protein levels of phosphorylated IκBα (P<0.05) compared with the untreated control. The phosphorylated nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) showed similar result. In addition, MMP-9 activity and occludin degradation were reduced because of MG132 treatment. These results suggested that the proteasome in A. cantonensis infection degraded phosphorylated IκBα, modulated phosphorylated NF-κB, and then regulated the activation of MMP-9 and occludin degradation. Proteasome alterations were presented in eosinophilic meningitis of BALB/c mice and may contribute to the pathophysiology of eosinophilic meningitis by increasing occludin degradation. This molecule would serve as pivotal regulator in A. cantonensis-induced eosinophilic meningoencephalitis.

Abstract
Background Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a critical issue in the development of treatment strategies for ischemic heart disease. MURC (muscle‐restricted coiled‐coil protein)/Cavin‐4 (caveolae‐associated protein 4), which is a component of caveolae, is involved in the pathophysiology of dilated cardiomyopathy and cardiac hypertrophy. However, the role of MURC in cardiac I/R injury remains unknown. Methods and Results The systems network genomic analysis based on PC‐corr network inference on microarray data between wild‐type and MURC knockout mouse hearts predicted a network of discriminating genes associated with reactive oxygen species. To demonstrate the prediction, we analyzed I/R‐injured mouse hearts. MURC deletion decreased infarct size and preserved heart contraction with reactive oxygen species–related molecule EGR1 (early growth response protein 1) and DDIT4 (DNA‐damage‐inducible transcript 4) suppression in I/R‐injured hearts. Because PC‐corr network inference integrated with a protein–protein interaction network prediction also showed that MURC is involved in the apoptotic pathway, we confirmed the upregulation of STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) and BCL2 (B‐cell lymphoma 2) and the inactivation of caspase 3 in I/R‐injured hearts of MURC knockout mice compared with those of wild‐type mice. STAT3 inhibitor canceled the cardioprotective effect of MURC deletion in I/R‐injured hearts. In cardiomyocytes exposed to hydrogen peroxide, MURC overexpression promoted apoptosis and MURC knockdown inhibited apoptosis. STAT3 inhibitor canceled the antiapoptotic effect of MURC knockdown in cardiomyocytes. Conclusions Our findings, obtained by prediction from systems network genomic analysis followed by experimental validation, suggested that MURC modulates cardiac I/R injury through the regulation of reactive oxygen species–induced cell death and STAT3‐meditated antiapoptosis. Functional inhibition of MURC may be effective in reducing cardiac I/R injury.

Abstract
Background: Conventional therapeutic strategies for tumors have had limited success, and innovative and more effective approaches to treatment are urgently required. The ancient idea that various biological, bacterial, yeast, viral, and para-sitic agents can be used as cancer therapeutics has gradually attracted considerable interest. Certain parasites have been widely discussed in association with human and animal tumors. The purpose of this review was to examine previous literatures which investigates the relations between Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis) and tumors. Methods: Using PubMed, articles published before 2018 in the whole world have been searched and comprehensively re-viewed. Results: Many researches have provided proofs that T. spiralis possesses antitumor activities. The antitumor effect of T. spi-ralis was first described in the 1970s. However, its research has been inconsistent, and little progress has been made in this field. Therefore, the mechanisms underlying these inhibitory effects are still unclear, and convincing evidence of the links be-tween T. spiralis and the prevention or treatment of tumors from clinical trials is absent. Meanwhile, some other researches al-so suggested that T. spiralis may cause or contribute to coinfection with a tumors. Conclusion: The review has highlighted the scientific literature focussing on evidence for T. spiralis to act as a pro- or anti-tumorigenic agent is summarized and discussed, in hope of contributing to a better understanding of the relations between T. spiralis and tumors

Abstract
Cholesterol-enriched functional portions of plasma membranes, such as caveolae and rafts, were isolated from lungs of wild-type (WT) and caveolin-1 knockout (Cav-1 KO) mice within detergent resistant membranes (DRMs). To gain insight into their molecular composition we performed proteomic and lipid analysis on WT and Cav-1 KO-DRMs that showed predicted variations of proteomic profiles and negligible differences in lipid composition, while Langmuir monolayer technique and small and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS-WAXS) were here originally introduced to study DRMs biophysical association state. Langmuir analysis of Cav-1 containing DRMs displayed an isotherm with a clear-cut feature, suggesting the coexistence of the liquid-ordered (Lo) phase typical of the raft structure, namely “cholesterol-rich Lo phase”, with a phase fully missing in Cav-1 KO that we named “caveolin-induced Lo phase”. Furthermore, while the sole lipid component of both WT and KO-DRMs showed qualitatively similar isotherm configuration, the reinsertion of recombinant Cav-1 into WT-DRMs lipids restored the WT-DRM pattern. X-ray diffraction results confirmed that Cav-1 causes the formation of a “caveolin-induced Lo phase”, as suggested by Langmuir experiments, allowing us to speculate about a possible structural model. These results show that the unique molecular link between Cav-1 and cholesterol can spur functional order in a lipid bilayer strictly derived from biological sources.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark of diabetic vascular complications. Microparticles (MPs) are small vesicles shed from the surface of blood and vascular cells that act as stimuli and during apoptosis. Circulating MPs of diabetic rats have been shown to induce endothelial dysfunction. However, the underlying mechanisms require further study. In this study, we investigated how MPs from diabetic mice affect endothelial function. MPs were collected from streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice and Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice as controls. The levels of MPs were assessed and characterized by flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and dot blotting. Normal mice aortas were incubated with MPs and expressions of enzymes and vascular relaxation were analyzed. We found that (1) circulating MPs level increased in diabetic mice; (2) MPs impaired endothelial-dependent relaxation in mice aorta, but diabetic mice-derived MPs (diabetes mellitus (DM) MPs) were easier to attach to the endothelial cells than were control MPs; (3) DM MPs had more extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 than did control mice-derived MPs, and they induced ERK1/2 activation in mice aortas; (4) DM MPs decreased endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in mice aortas, and eNOS was emitted from endothelial cells to blood in the shape of endothelial MPs. DM MPs significantly altered endothelial function by activation of ERK1/2, which might provide a therapeutic target for diabetic vascular complications.

Abstract
Abstract
Biomechanical changes in the heart and vessels drive rapid and dynamic regulation of blood flow, a vital process for meeting the changing metabolic needs of the peripheral tissues at any given point in time. The fluid movement of the blood exerts haemodynamic stress upon the solid elements of the cardiovascular system: the heart, vessels, and cellular components of the blood. Cardiovascular diseases can lead to prolonged mechanical stress, such as cardiac remodelling during heart failure or vascular stiffening in atherosclerosis. This can lead to a significantly reduced or increasingly turbulent blood supply, inducing a shift in cellular metabolism that, amongst other effects, can trigger the release of reactive oxygen species and initiate a self-perpetuating cycle of inflammation and oxidative stress. CD31 is the most abundant constitutive co-signalling receptor glycoprotein on endothelial cells, which line the cardiovascular system and form the first-line of cellular contact with the blood. By associating with most endothelial receptors involved in mechanosensing, CD31 regulates the response to biomechanical stimuli. In addition, by relocating in the lipid rafts of endothelial cells as well as of cells stably interacting with the endothelium, including leucocytes and platelets, CD31–CD31 trans-homophilic engagement guides and restrains platelet and immune cell accumulation and activation and at sites of damage. In this way, CD31 is at the centre of mediating mechanical, metabolic, and immunological changes within the circulation and provides a single target that may have pleiotropic beneficial effects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Oligonucleotide therapeutics such as antisense oligonucleotides and siRNA requires chemical modifications and nano-sized carriers to circumvent stability problems in vivo, to reach target tissues, and to overcome tissue and cellular barriers. Hyaluronic acid (HA), already utilized in drug delivery and tissue engineering, possess properties that are useful to solve these problems and achieve full potential of oligonucleotide therapeutics. AREAS COVERED Complexes of oligonucleotide therapeutics with HA are discussed in terms of interactions providing the complexes formation and genes targeted by the therapeutics to cure diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, liver cirrhosis, and inflammation. The achieved therapeutic effects are rationalized as consequences of biodistribution, cell internalization and endosomal escape provided by HA. EXPERT OPINION Design of electrostatic, coordination, and hydrophobic interactions as well as covalent conjugation between oligonucleotide drugs, HA macromolecules and intermediate ligands are crucial for carrier-cargo association and dissociation under different conditions to impart oligonucleotides stability in vivo, their accumulation in diseased organs, cellular uptake, and dissociation in cytoplasm intact. These are the delivery factors that provides eventual complex formation of oligonucleotide therapeutics with their mRNA, microRNA, or protein targets. Elucidation of the impact of structural parameters of oligonucleotide/HA complexes on their therapeutic effect in vivo is important for the future rational design of the delivery agents.

Abstract
Caveolae are plasma membrane invaginations enriched with high cholesterol and sphingolipid content; they also contain caveolin proteins in their structure. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), an enzyme that synthesizes nitric oxide (NO) by converting L-arginine to L-citrulline, is highly concentrated in plasma membrane caveolae. Hypertension is associated with decreased NO production and impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that follow hypertension is important. For this study, we hypothesized that spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) vessels should have a smaller number of caveolae, and that the caveolae structure should be disrupted in these vessels. This should impair the eNOS function and diminish NO bioavailability. Therefore, we aimed to investigate caveolae integrity and density in SHR aortas and mesenteric arteries and the role played by caveolae in endothelium-dependent relaxation. We have been able to show the presence of caveolae-like structures in SHR aortas and mesenteric arteries. Increased phenylephrine-induced contractile response after treatment with dextrin was related to lower NO release. In addition, impaired acetylcholine-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation could be related to decreased caveolae density in SHR vessels. The most important finding of this study was that cholesterol depletion with dextrin induced eNOS phosphorylation at Serine1177 (Ser1177) and boosted reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in normotensive rat and SHR vessels, which suggested eNOS uncoupling. Dextrin plus L-NAME or BH4 decreased ROS production in aorta and mesenteric arteries supernatant’s of both SHR and normotensive groups. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with dextrin confirmed eNOS uncoupling, as verified by the reduced eNOS dimer/monomer ratio. BH4, L-arginine, or BH4 plus L-arginine inhibited eNOS monomerization. All these results showed that caveolae structure and integrity are essential for endothelium-dependent relaxation. Additionally, a smaller number of caveolae is associated with hypertension. Finally, caveolae disruption promotes eNOS uncoupling in normotensive and hypertensive rat vessels and in HUVECs.

In this study, we characterize the effect of stretch on GPCR-Gαq protein signaling. Activation of this pathway leads to an increase in intracellular calcium. In muscle cells, GPCR-Gαq signals are enhanced when these proteins are localized in caveolae membrane domains whose curved structure can flatten with stretch. When we statically stretch rat aortic smooth muscle A10 cells by 1-5%, cellular calcium appears unperturbed as indicated by a calcium indicator. However, when we activate the bradykinin type 2 receptor (B2R)/Gαq pathway, we observe a loss in calcium that appears to be mediated through perturbations in calcium-activated stretch receptors. In contrast, if we apply oscillating stretch, calcium levels are enhanced. We tested whether the observed changes in B2R-Gαq calcium signals were caused by stretch-induced disruption of caveolae using a combination of silencing RNA technology and growth conditions. We find that stretch changes the ability of monoclonal caveolin antibodies to bind caveolae indicating a change in configuration of the domains. This change is seen by the inability of cells to survive stretch cycles when the level of caveolae is significantly reduced. Our studies show that the effect of calcium signals by mechanical stretch is mediated by the type of stretch and the amount of caveolae.

Abstract
Many nanoparticle-based carriers to atherosclerotic plaques contain peptides, lipoproteins, and sugars, yet the application of DNA-based nanostructures for targeting plaques remains infrequent. In this work, we demonstrate that DNA-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (DNA-SPIONs), prepared by attaching DNA oligonucleotides to poly(ethylene glycol)-coated SPIONs (PEG-SPIONs), effectively accumulate in the macrophages of atherosclerotic plaques following an intravenous injection into apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE-/-) mice. DNA-SPIONs enter RAW 264.7 macrophages faster and more abundantly than PEG-SPIONs. DNA-SPIONs mostly enter RAW 264.7 cells by engaging Class A scavenger receptors (SR-A) and lipid rafts and traffic inside the cell along the endolysosomal pathway. ABS-SPIONs, nanoparticles with a similarly polyanionic surface charge as DNA-SPIONs but bearing abasic oligonucleotides also effectively bind to SR-A and enter RAW 264.7 cells. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging reveals evident localization of DNA-SPIONs in the heart and aorta 30 min post-injection. Aortic iron content for DNA-SPIONs climbs to the peak (∼60% ID/g) 2 h post-injection (accompanied by profuse accumulation in the aortic root), but it takes 8 h for PEG-SPIONs to reach the peak aortic amount (∼44% ID/g). ABS-SPIONs do not appreciably accumulate in the aorta or aortic root, suggesting that the DNA coating (not the surface charge) dictates in vivo plaque accumulation. Flow cytometry analysis reveals more pronounced uptake of DNA-SPIONs by hepatic endothelial cells, splenic macrophages and dendritic cells, and aortic M2 macrophages (the cell type with the highest uptake in the aorta) than PEG-SPIONs. In summary, coating nanoparticles with DNA is an effective strategy of promoting their systemic delivery to atherosclerotic plaques.

Abstract
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) remains a great challenge in critical care because of its common occurrence, high cost of care, and high mortality. Vascular endothelial injury is the initiation step in the development of MODS, and EPCs are essential for the process of organ repair. It is unclear whether and how caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in EPCs contributes to the pathogenesis of MODS. The present study is aimed at investigating the potential role of Cav-1 in EPCs during MODS. We established a MODS model in pigs, isolated and characterized EPCs from the MODS model, and tracked Cav-1 expression and various in vitro behaviors of EPCs from the MODS model. Then, we knockdown Cav-1 expression with siRNA or induce Cav-1 expression with proinflammatory factors to evaluate potential effects on EPCs. Our results suggest that Cav-1 expression correlated with EPC functions during MODS and Cav-1 regulates the function of endothelial progenitor cells via PI3K/Akt/eNOS signaling during MODS. Thus, Cav-1 in EPCs could be an attractive target for the treatment of MODS.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the manner of urea-modulated UT-B urea transporter (UT) internalization in infantile hemangioma-derived vascular endothelial cells (HemECs). The immunohistochemistry assay was performed to identify infancy hemangioma-derived endothelial cell line (XPTS-1) cells. Cell toxicity was detected with the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis were measured to analyze the expression of UT-B. UT-B internalization was observed by confocal microscopy. The clathrin inhibitor chlorpromazine (CPZ) and caveolin endocytic disrupter methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) were used in XPTS-1 cells transfected with UT-B-GFP to repress endocytosis. Urea-promoted UT-B expression in a concentration-dependent manner in an infantile XPTS-1 cell line. CPZ and MβCD significantly inhibited UT-B protein internalization. The pretreatment of UT-B-GFP cells with adaptor protein2 (AP2)-μ2-siRNA and caveolin-siRNA significantly inhibited UT-B protein internalization. Our findings suggested that urea-mediated UT-B UT internalization is clathrin and caveolae dependent in infantile HemECs.

Abstract
Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) are key virulence determinants produced and secreted by a variety of human bacterial pathogens. They disrupt the plasma membrane (PM) by generating stable protein pores, which allow uncontrolled exchanges between the extracellular and intracellular milieus, dramatically disturbing cellular homeostasis. In recent years, many advances were made regarding the characterization of conserved repair mechanisms that allow eukaryotic cells to recover from mechanical disruption of the PM membrane. However, the specificities of the cell recovery pathways that protect host cells against PFT-induced damage remain remarkably elusive. During bacterial infections, the coordinated action of such cell recovery processes defines the outcome of infected cells and is, thus, critical for our understanding of bacterial pathogenesis. Here, we review the cellular pathways reported to be involved in the response to bacterial PFTs and discuss their impact in single-cell recovery and infection.

Abstract
The receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) is a transcriptional target of the lineage-survival oncogene NKX2-1/TTF-1 in lung adenocarcinomas. In addition to its kinase-dependent role, ROR1 functions as a scaffold protein to facilitate interaction between caveolin-1 (CAV1) and CAVIN1, and consequently maintains caveolae formation, which in turn sustains pro-survival signaling toward AKT from multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), MET (proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase), and IGF-IR (insulin-like growth factor receptor 1). Therefore, ROR1 is an attractive target for overcoming EGFR-TKI resistance due to various mechanisms such as EGFR T790M double mutation and bypass signaling from other RTKs. Here, we report that ROR1 possesses a novel scaffold function indispensable for efficient caveolae-dependent endocytosis. CAVIN3 was found to bind with ROR1 at a site distinct from sites for CAV1 and CAVIN1, a novel function required for proper CAVIN3 subcellular localization and caveolae-dependent endocytosis, but not caveolae formation itself. Furthermore, evidence of a mechanistic link between ROR1-CAVIN3 interaction and consequential caveolae trafficking, which was found to utilize a binding site distinct from those for ROR1 interactions with CAV1 and CAVIN1, with RTK-mediated pro-survival signaling towards AKT in early endosomes in lung adenocarcinoma cells was also obtained. The present findings warrant future study to enable development of novel therapeutic strategies for inhibiting the multifaceted scaffold functions of ROR1 in order to reduce the intolerable death toll from this devastating cancer.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the influence of tissue mechanics on the cellular uptake efficiency of nanoparticles (NPs) in cancer. MATERIALS & METHODS Collagen-coated polyacrylamide gels were prepared as model substrates. Coumarin 6-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid micelles (C6-NPs) were prepared to investigate the cellular uptake of NPs. RESULTS We demonstrated that substrate stiffness modulated the cellular uptake of NPs of cancer. Mechanistically, mechanical cues exerted influence on the clathrin-mediated endocytosis and caveolae-mediated endocytosis pathways, which mediated stiffness-regulated cellular uptake of NPs. CONCLUSION Our findings shed light on the regulatory role of the mechanical cues on the cellular uptake of NPs and will facilitate the selection of clinical patients who might benefit from a given nanotherapy.

Abstract
Caveolae are 60-80 nm invaginated plasma membrane (PM) nanodomains, with a specific lipid and protein composition, which assist and regulate multiple processes in the plasma membrane-ranging from the organization of signalling complexes to the mechanical adaptation to changes in PM tension. However, since their initial descriptions, these structures have additionally been found tightly linked to internalization processes, mechanoadaptation, to the regulation of signalling events and of endosomal trafficking. Here, we review caveolae biology from this perspective, and its implications for cell physiology and disease.

Abstract
Dengue virus (DENV) is a mosquito-borne virus of the family Flaviviridae The RNA viral genome encodes three structural and seven nonstructural proteins. Nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) is a multifunctional protein actively secreted in vertebrate and mosquito cells during infection. In mosquito cells, NS1 is secreted in a caveolin-1-dependent manner by an unconventional route. The caveolin chaperone complex (CCC) is a cytoplasmic complex formed by caveolin-1 and the chaperones FKBP52, Cy40, and CyA and is responsible for the cholesterol traffic inside the cell. In this work, we demonstrate that in mosquito cells, but not in vertebrate cells, NS1 associates with and relies on the CCC for secretion. Treatment of mosquito cells with classic secretion inhibitors, such as brefeldin A, Golgicide A, and Fli-06, showed no effect on NS1 secretion but significant reductions in recombinant luciferase secretion and virion release. Silencing the expression of CAV-1 or FKBP52 with short interfering RNAs or the inhibition of CyA by cyclosporine resulted in significant decrease in NS1 secretion, again without affecting virion release. Colocalization, coimmunoprecipitation, and proximity ligation assays indicated that NS1 colocalizes and interacts with all proteins of the CCC. In addition, CAV-1 and FKBP52 expression was found augmented in DENV-infected cells. Results obtained with Zika virus-infected cells suggest that in mosquito cells, ZIKV NS1 follows the same secretory pathway as that observed for DENV NS1. These results uncover important differences in the dengue virus-cell interactions between the vertebrate host and the mosquito vector as well as novel functions for the chaperone caveolin complex.IMPORTANCE The dengue virus protein NS1 is secreted efficiently from both infected vertebrate and mosquito cells. Previously, our group reported that NS1 secretion in mosquito cells follows an unconventional secretion pathway dependent on caveolin-1. In this work, we demonstrate that in mosquito cells, but not in vertebrate cells, NS1 secretion takes place in association with the chaperone caveolin complex, a complex formed by caveolin-1 and the chaperones FKBP52, CyA, and Cy40, which are in charge of cholesterol transport inside the cell. Results obtained with ZIKV-infected mosquito cells suggest that ZIKV NS1 is released following an unconventional secretory route in association with the chaperone caveolin complex. These results uncover important differences in the virus-cell interactions between the vertebrate host and the mosquito vector, as well as novel functions for the chaperone caveolin complex. Moreover, manipulation of the NS1 secretory route may prove a valuable strategy to combat these two mosquito-borne diseases.

Abstract
The communication between multiple myeloma (MM) cells and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) serves a pivotal role in MM progression by supporting MM cell growth, proliferation and drug resistance. An exosomes‑based endogenous transport system has been determined as a novel mechanism of this communication by revealing the capacity for exchange of functional components between cells. An exosomes transfer‑mediated biological response in recipient cells is strongly determined by the detailed routes and mechanisms of exosomes internalization, which are diverse and can depend on surface molecules on the membrane of the vesicle and the recipient cell. Understanding the routes of exosomes uptake during MM cell‑BMSC communication is of great importance for the development of blocking strategies beneficial for MM treatment. In the present study, fluorescently‑labeled exosomes and pharmacological inhibitors, which are known to interfere with different internalization pathways, were used to characterize the cellular mechanisms involved in the uptake of MM cell‑derived exosomes by BMSCs. MM cell‑derived exosomes can promote BMSC viability and induce changes in multiple pro‑survival and pro‑proliferation pathways in BMSCs. As determined by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy, the uptake of MM cell‑derived exosomes proceeded primarily through endocytosis, via special caveolin‑dependent endocytosis, and partially through macropinocytosis and membrane fusion. Furthermore, treatment with endocytosis inhibitors suppressed the exosomes‑induced changes in pathways in BMSCs. Collectively, these results indicate that endocytosis is the primary route of internalization of MM cell‑derived exosomes by BMSCs and indicate that inhibition of exosomes uptake can interrupt the communication between MM cells and BMSCs and thus serve as a potential adjunctive strategy for MM treatment.

Abstract
To comprehensively understand the endocytosis of Sapelovirus A (PSV) entry into PK-15 cells, we studied PSV infection in the context of cell perturbations through drug inhibition, siRNA silencing and overexpression of dominant negative (DN) mutants. We showed here that PSV infection of PK-15 cells was unaffected by pretreated with chlorpromazine, EIPA, knockdown of the clathrin heavy chain or overexpression of Eps15 DN mutant. Conversely, PSV infection was sensitive to NH4Cl, chloroquine, dynasore, nystatin, MβCD and wortmannin with reduced PSV VP1 expression levels and virus titer. Additionally, PSV invasion leaded to rapid actin rearrangement and disruption of the cellular actin network enhanced PSV infection. After internalization the virus was transported to late endosomes and/or cycling endosomes that requires the participation of Rab7 and Rab11. Our findings demonstrate that PSV uses caveolae-dependent endocytosis as the predominant entry portal into PK-15 cells which requires low pH, dynamin, Rab7 and Rab11.

Abstract
Background 3-(2-Nitrophenyl) propionic acid-paclitaxel (NPPA-PTX) is a paclitaxel (PTX) bioreductive prodrug synthesized by our lab. We hypothesize that NPPA-PTX can self-assemble to form nanoparticles (NPs). Materials and methods In the present research, the theoretical partition coefficient (XlogP) and Hansen solubility parameters of NPPA-PTX were calculated. NPPA-PTX nanoparticles prepared by NPPA-PTX and DSPE-PEG (NPPA-PTX:DSPE-PEG =1:0.1, w/w) (NPPA-PTX@PEG NPs) were prepared and characterized. The cellular uptake, in vitro antitumor activity, in vivo targeting effect, tumor distribution, in vivo antitumor activity, and safety of NPPA-PTX@PEG NPs were investigated. Results Our results indicate that NPPA-PTX can self-assemble to form NPPA-PTX@PEG NPs. Both the cellular uptake and safety of NPPA-PTX@PEG NPs were higher than those of Taxol. NPPA-PTX@PEG NPs could target tumor tissues by a passive targeting effect. In tumor tissues, NPPA-PTX@PEG NPs could completely transform into active PTX. The in vivo antitumor activity of NPPA-PTX@PEG NPs was confirmed in MDA-MB-231 tumor-bearing nude mice. Conclusion The bioreductive prodrug NPPA-PTX could self-assemble to form NPs. The safety and antitumor activity of NPPA-PTX@PEG were confirmed in our in vitro and in vivo experiments. The NPPA-PTX@PEG NPs developed in this study could offer a new way of preparing bioreductive prodrug, self-assembled NPs suitable for antitumor therapy.

Harding IC, Mitra R, Mensah SA, Herman IM, Ebong EE. Pro-atherosclerotic disturbed flow disrupts caveolin-1 expression, localization, and function via glycocalyx degradation. J Transl Med 2018; 16:364. [PMID: 30563532 PMCID: PMC6299559 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-018-1721-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2018] [Accepted: 12/04/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelial-dependent atherosclerosis develops in a non-random pattern in regions of vessel bending and bifurcations, where blood flow exhibits disturbed flow (DF) patterns. In contrast, uniform flow (UF), normal endothelium, and healthy vessel walls co-exist within straight vessels. In clarifying how flow protectively or atherogenically regulates endothelial cell behavior, involvement of the endothelial surface glycocalyx has been suggested due to reduced expression in regions of atherosclerosis development. Here, we hypothesized that pro-atherosclerotic endothelial dysfunction occurs as a result of DF-induced reduction in glycocalyx expression and subsequently impairs endothelial sensitivity to flow. Specifically, we propose that glycocalyx degradation can induce pro-atherosclerotic endothelial dysfunction through decreased caveolin-1 and endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression and localization. METHODS We studied endothelial cells in atherosclerotic-prone DF and atherosclerotic-resistant UF conditions in parallel plate flow culture and in C57Bl/6 mice. The effects of flow conditioning on endothelial cell behavior were quantified using immunocytochemistry. The glycocalyx was fluorescently labeled for wheat germ agglutinin, which serves as a general glycocalyx label, and heparan sulfate, a major glycocalyx component. Additionally, mechanosensitivity was assessed by immunocytochemical fluorescence expression and function of caveolin-1, the protein that forms the mechanosignaling caveolar invaginations on the endothelial surface, total endothelial-type nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), which synthesizes nitric oxide, and serine 1177 phosphorylated eNOS (eNOS-pS1177), which is the active form of eNOS. Caveolin function and eNOS expression and activation were correlated to glycocalyx expression. Heparinase III enzyme was used to degrade a major glycocalyx component, HS, to identify the role of the glycocalyx in caveoin-1 and eNOS-pS1177 regulation. RESULTS Results confirmed that DF reduces caveolin-1 expression and abolishes most of its subcellular localization preferences, when compared to the effect of UF. DF down-regulates caveolin-1 mechanosignaling, as indicated by its reduced colocalization with serine 1177 phosphorylated endothelial-type nitric oxide synthase (eNOS-pS1177), a vasoregulatory signaling molecule whose activity is regulated by its residence in caveolae. As expected, DF inhibited glycocalyx expression compared to UF. In the absence of heparan sulfate, a major glycocalyx component, UF-conditioned endothelial cells exhibited near DF-like caveolin-1 expression, localization, and colocalization with eNOS-pS1177. CONCLUSIONS This is the first demonstration of a flow-defined role of the glycocalyx in caveolae expression and function related to vasculoprotective endothelial mechanosensitivity that defends against atherosclerosis. The results suggest that a glycocalyx-based therapeutic targeted to areas of atherosclerosis development could prevent disease initiation and progression.

Abstract
Acute hepatic injury caused by inflammatory liver disease is associated with high mortality. This study examined the role of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and D-galactosamine (GalN)-induced fulminant hepatic injury in wild type and Cav-1-null (Cav-1-/- ) mice. Hepatic Cav-1 expression was induced post-LPS/GalN treatment in wild-type mice. LPS/GalN-treated Cav-1-/- mice showed reduced lethality and markedly attenuated liver damage, neutrophil infiltration and hepatocyte apoptosis as compared to wild-type mice. Cav-1 deletion significantly reduced LPS/GalN-induced caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9 activation and pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine expression. Additionally, Cav-1-/- mice showed suppressed expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and CD14 in Kupffer cells and reduced expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 in liver cells. Cav-1 deletion impeded LPS/GalN-induced inducible nitric oxide synthase expression and nitric oxide production and hindered nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation. Taken together, Cav-1 regulated the expression of mediators that govern LPS-induced inflammatory signalling in mouse liver. Thus, deletion of Cav-1 suppressed the inflammatory response mediated by the LPS-CD14-TLR4-NF-κb pathway and alleviated acute liver injury in mice.

Abstract
Nanoparticle science is rapidly changing the landscape of various scientific fields and defining new technological platforms. This is perhaps even more evident in the field of nanomedicine whereby nanoparticles have been used as a tool for the treatment and diagnosis of many diseases. However, despite the tremendous benefit conferred, common pitfalls of this technology is its potential short and long-term effects on the human body. To understand these issues, many scientific studies have been carried out. This review attempts to shed light on some of these studies and its outcomes. The topics that were examined in this review include the different possible uptake pathways of nanoparticles and intracellular trafficking routes. Additionally, the effect of physicochemical properties of nanoparticle such as size, shape, charge and surface chemistry in determining the mechanism of uptake and biological function of nanoparticles are also addressed.

Abstract
A better understanding of processes controlling the development and function of pancreatic islets is critical for diabetes prevention and treatment. Here, we reveal a previously unappreciated function for pancreatic β2-adrenergic receptors (Adrb2) in controlling glucose homeostasis by restricting islet vascular growth during development. Pancreas-specific deletion of Adrb2 results in glucose intolerance and impaired insulin secretion in mice, and unexpectedly, specifically in females. The metabolic phenotypes were recapitulated by Adrb2 deletion from neonatal, but not adult, β-cells. Mechanistically, Adrb2 loss increases production of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A) in female neonatal β-cells and results in hyper-vascularized islets during development, which in turn, disrupts insulin production and exocytosis. Neonatal correction of islet hyper-vascularization, via VEGF-A receptor blockade, fully rescues functional deficits in glucose homeostasis in adult mutant mice. These findings uncover a regulatory pathway that functions in a sex-specific manner to control glucose metabolism by restraining excessive vascular growth during islet development.

Dual-controlled optogenetic system for the rapid down-regulation of protein levels in mammalian cells. Sci Rep 2018; 8:15024.

Abstract
Optogenetic switches are emerging molecular tools for studying cellular processes as they offer higher spatiotemporal and quantitative precision than classical, chemical-based switches. Light-controllable gene expression systems designed to upregulate protein expression levels meanwhile show performances superior to their chemical-based counterparts. However, systems to reduce protein levels with similar efficiency are lagging behind. Here, we present a novel two-component, blue light-responsive optogenetic OFF switch ('Blue-OFF'), which enables a rapid and quantitative down-regulation of a protein upon illumination. Blue-OFF combines the first light responsive repressor KRAB-EL222 with the protein degradation module B-LID (blue light-inducible degradation domain) to simultaneously control gene expression and protein stability with a single wavelength. Blue-OFF thus outperforms current optogenetic systems for controlling protein levels. The system is described by a mathematical model which aids in the choice of experimental conditions such as light intensity and illumination regime to obtain the desired outcome. This approach represents an advancement of dual-controlled optogenetic systems in which multiple photosensory modules operate synergistically. As exemplified here for the control of apoptosis in mammalian cell culture, the approach opens up novel perspectives in fundamental research and applications such as tissue engineering.

Axial Tubule Junctions Activate Atrial Ca 2+ Release Across Species. Front Physiol 2018; 9:1227. [PMID: 30349482 PMCID: PMC6187065 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2018.01227] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2018] [Accepted: 08/14/2018] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Recently, abundant axial tubule (AT) membrane structures were identified deep inside atrial myocytes (AMs). Upon excitation, ATs rapidly activate intracellular Ca2+ release and sarcomeric contraction through extensive AT junctions, a cell-specific atrial mechanism. While AT junctions with the sarcoplasmic reticulum contain unusually large clusters of ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) Ca2+ release channels in mouse AMs, it remains unclear if similar protein networks and membrane structures exist across species, particularly those relevant for atrial disease modeling. Objective: To examine and quantitatively analyze the architecture of AT membrane structures and associated Ca2+ signaling proteins across species from mouse to human. Methods and Results: We developed superresolution microscopy (nanoscopy) strategies for intact live AMs based on a new custom-made photostable cholesterol dye and immunofluorescence imaging of membraneous structures and membrane proteins in fixed tissue sections from human, porcine, and rodent atria. Consistently, in mouse, rat, and rabbit AMs, intact cell-wide tubule networks continuous with the surface membrane were observed, mainly composed of ATs. Moreover, co-immunofluorescence nanoscopy showed L-type Ca2+ channel clusters adjacent to extensive junctional RyR2 clusters at ATs. However, only junctional RyR2 clusters were highly phosphorylated and may thus prime Ca2+ release at ATs, locally for rapid signal amplification. While the density of the integrated L-type Ca2+ current was similar in human and mouse AMs, the intracellular Ca2+ transient showed quantitative differences. Importantly, local intracellular Ca2+ release from AT junctions occurred through instantaneous action potential propagation via transverse tubules (TTs) from the surface membrane. Hence, sparse TTs were sufficient as electrical conduits for rapid activation of Ca2+ release through ATs. Nanoscopy of atrial tissue sections confirmed abundant ATs as the major network component of AMs, particularly in human atrial tissue sections. Conclusion: AT junctions represent a conserved, cell-specific membrane structure for rapid excitation-contraction coupling throughout a representative spectrum of species including human. Since ATs provide the major excitable membrane network component in AMs, a new model of atrial “super-hub” Ca2+ signaling may apply across biomedically relevant species, opening avenues for future investigations about atrial disease mechanisms and therapeutic targeting.

Abstract
In the beginning of the 21st century, therapeutic oligonucleotides have shown great potential for the treatment of many life-threatening diseases. However, effective delivery of therapeutic oligonucleotides to the targeted location in vivo remains a major issue. As an emerging field, DNA nanotechnology is applied in many aspects including bioimaging, biosensing, and drug delivery. With sequence programming and optimization, a series of DNA nanostructures can be precisely engineered with defined size, shape, surface chemistry, and function. Simply with hybridization, therapeutic oligonucleotides including unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine dinucleotide oligos, small interfering RNA (siRNA) or antisense RNA, single guide RNA of the regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat-Cas9 system, and aptamers, are successfully loaded on DNA nanostructures for delivery. In this progress report, the development history of DNA nanotechnology is first introduced, and then the mechanisms and means for cellular uptake of DNA nanostructures are discussed. Next, current approaches to deliver therapeutic oligonucleotides with DNA nanovehicles are summarized. In the end, the challenges and opportunities for DNA nanostructure-based systems for the delivery of therapeutic oligonucleotides are discussed.

Abstract
Emerging evidence from various studies indicates that plasmid DNA (pDNA) is internalized by cells through an endocytosis-like process when it is used for electrotransfection. To provide morphological evidence of the process, we investigated ultrastructures in cells that were associated with the electrotransfected pDNA, using immunoelectron microscopy. The results demonstrate that four endocytic pathways are involved in the uptake of the pDNA, including caveolae- and clathrin-mediated endocytosis, macropinocytosis, and the clathrin-independent carrier/glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein-enriched early endosomal compartment (CLIC/GEEC) pathway. Among them, macropinocytosis is the most common pathway utilized by cells having various pDNA uptake capacities, and the CLIC/GEEC pathway is observed primarily in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Quantitatively, the endocytic pathways are more active in easy-to-transfect cells than in hard-to-transfect ones. Taken together, our data provide ultrastructural evidence showing that endocytosis plays an important role in cellular uptake and intracellular transport of electrotransfected pDNA.

Abstract
Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 5 (KCNA5) is a voltage-gated potassium channel protein encoded by the KCNA5 gene. A large number of studies have shown that KCNA5 is associated with the survival of malignant tumors, including breast cancer, but the detailed mechanism remains inconclusive. Our previous study found that KCNA5 is co-expressed with a scaffolding protein, caveolin-1 in MCF-10A-neoT non-tumorigenic epithelial cell. In the present study, KCNA5 and caveolin-1 were expressed in breast cancer tissues and cell lines. Exposing MCF-10A-neoT to 2 mM of methyl-β-cyclodextrin, an agent to disrupt caveolae and lipid rafts led to a downregulation of caveolin-1 that reduced the expression of KCNA5. Furthermore, following caveolin-1 knockdown, the expression of KCNA5 was decreased in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer and MCF-10A-neoT non-tumorigenic epithelial cell lines. In subsequent experiments, the MTT assay showed that increased caveolin-1 and KCNA5 expression promoted the survival of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, but cell survival was not affected following KCNA5 overexpression alone. Using small interfering RNA technology, KCNA5-silenced MCF-10A-neoT cells were established and a decreased level of phosphorylated-AKT serine/threonine kinase (AKT) was observed in the cells compared with the parental cells. Overall, these results suggested that caveolin-1 facilitated KCNA5 expression and may be associated with AKT activation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intranasal (IN) delivery for peptides provides unique advantages compared to other invasive systemic delivery routes. However, there still lacks a clear understanding on how to evaluate the potential of the peptides for nasal delivery and key considerations for the nasal formulation development. AREAS COVERED A retrospective analysis of intranasally delivered peptides was conducted. The goals of this undertaking were 1) to build a database of the key physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of peptides delivered by the nasal route, 2) to evaluate formulation attributes applied to IN peptide delivery systems, and 3) to provide key considerations for IN delivery of peptides. EXPERT OPINION/COMMENTARY Extensive data mining showed that peptides with molecular weights up to 6000 Da have been delivered intranasally. The high solubility of some peptides highlighted the possibility of delivering sufficient amounts of peptide in the limited volume available for nasal sprays. Permeation enhancers and mucoadhesives have shown promise in improving the IN bioavailability of peptides. Other formulation considerations, such as the type of formulation, pH, osmolality, as well as drug deposition, are reviewed herein. Based on this retrospective analysis, key considerations for nasal peptides formulations were proposed to guide drug discovery and development for IN delivery of peptides.

Abstract
Obesity is characterized by hypertrophy and hyperplasia of adipose tissue, which have been related to the development of hypoxia and insulin resistance. On the other hand, caveolin-1 (Cav-1), one of the main proteins of caveolae, promotes insulin receptor (IR) phosphorylation and the subsequent activation of insulin signaling. In this work we investigated the effect of hypoxia on Cav-1 regulation and the status of insulin signaling in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Our results showed that hypoxia inhibited adipogenesis and insulin signaling in adipocytes. Furthermore, 48 h of hypoxia reduced insulin-induced glucose uptake while increased basal glucose uptake. This result was consistent with the upregulation of glucose transporter GLUT1 and the downregulation of GLUT4, which also showed defective translocation to plasma membrane when adipocytes were stimulated with insulin. In addition, the expression of caveolae-related proteins was reduced by hypoxia and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay demonstrated that Cav-1 transcription was directly regulated by HIF-1. These results strengthen the role of caveolae in insulin signaling and help to explain adipocyte response to hypoxia.

Abstract
Long-chain fatty acids are the main cardiac substrates from which ATP is generated continually to serve the high energy demand and sustain the normal function of the heart. Under healthy conditions, fatty acid β-oxidation produces 50-70% of the energy demands with the remainder largely accounted for by glucose. Chronically increased dietary lipid supply often leads to excess lipid accumulation in the heart, which is linked to a variety of maladaptive phenomena, such as insulin resistance, cardiac hypertrophy and contractile dysfunction. CD36, the predominant cardiac fatty acid transporter, has a key role in setting the heart on a road to contractile dysfunction upon the onset of chronic lipid oversupply by translocating to the cell surface and opening the cellular 'doors' for fatty acids. The sequence of events after the CD36-mediated myocellular lipid accumulation is less understood, but in general it has been accepted that the excessively imported lipids cause insulin resistance, which in turn leads to contractile dysfunction. There are several gaps of knowledge in this proposed order of events which this review aims to discuss. First, the molecular mechanisms underlying lipid-induced insulin resistance are not yet completely disclosed. Specifically, several mediators have been proposed, such as diacylglycerols, ceramides, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR), inflammatory kinases and reactive oxygen species (ROS), but their relative contributions to the onset of insulin resistance and their putatively synergistic actions are topics of controversy. Second, there are also pieces of evidence that lipids can induce contractile dysfunction independently of insulin resistance. Perhaps, a more integrative view is needed, in which several lipid-induced pathways operate synergistically or in parallel to induce contractile dysfunction. Unraveling of these processes is expected to be important in designing effective therapeutic strategies to protect the lipid-overloaded heart.

Abstract
Drug delivery systems for cancer chemotherapy are employed to improve the effectiveness and decrease the side-effects of highly toxic drugs. Most chemotherapy agents have indiscriminate cytotoxicity that affects normal, as well as cancer cells. To overcome these problems, new more efficient nanosystems for drug delivery are increasingly being investigated. Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers are an example of a versatile and reproducible type of nanocarrier that can be loaded with drugs, and modified by attaching target-specific ligands that recognize receptors that are over-expressed on cancer cells. PAMAM dendrimers with a high density of cationic charges display electrostatic interactions with nucleic acids (DNA, siRNA, miRNA, etc.), creating dendriplexes that can preserve the nucleic acids from degradation. Dendrimers are prepared by conducting several successive "generations" of synthetic reactions so their size can be easily controlled and they have good uniformity. Dendrimers are particularly well-suited to co-delivery applications (simultaneous delivery of drugs and/or genes). In the current review, we discuss dendrimer-based targeted delivery of drugs/genes and co-delivery systems mainly for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Intracellular delivery is a key step in biological research and has enabled decades of biomedical discoveries. It is also becoming increasingly important in industrial and medical applications ranging from biomanufacture to cell-based therapies. Here, we review techniques for membrane disruption-based intracellular delivery from 1911 until the present. These methods achieve rapid, direct, and universal delivery of almost any cargo molecule or material that can be dispersed in solution. We start by covering the motivations for intracellular delivery and the challenges associated with the different cargo types-small molecules, proteins/peptides, nucleic acids, synthetic nanomaterials, and large cargo. The review then presents a broad comparison of delivery strategies followed by an analysis of membrane disruption mechanisms and the biology of the cell response. We cover mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, and chemical strategies of membrane disruption with a particular emphasis on their applications and challenges to implementation. Throughout, we highlight specific mechanisms of membrane disruption and suggest areas in need of further experimentation. We hope the concepts discussed in our review inspire scientists and engineers with further ideas to improve intracellular delivery.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy is a major risk for the progression of heart failure; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms contributing to this process remain elusive. The caveolae microdomain plays pivotal roles in various cellular processes such as lipid homeostasis, signal transduction, and endocytosis, and also serves as a signaling platform. Although the caveolae microdomain has been postulated to have a major contribution to the development of cardiac pathologies, including cardiac hypertrophy, recent evidence has placed this role into question. Lack of direct evidence and appropriate methods for determining activation of caveolae-specific signaling has thus far limited the ability to obtain a definite answer to the question. In this review, we focus on the potential physiological and pathological roles of the multifunctional kinase Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II and voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel in the caveolae, toward gaining a better understanding of the contribution of caveolae-based signaling in cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Despite the great research effort placed during the last decades in HIV-1 study, still some aspects of its replication cycle remain unknown. All this powerful research has succeeded in developing different drugs for AIDS treatment, but none of them can completely remove the virus from infected patients, who require life-long medication. The classical approach was focused on the study of virus particles as the main target, but increasing evidence highlights the importance of host cell proteins in HIV-1 cycle. In this context, tetraspanins have emerged as critical players in different steps of the viral infection cycle. Through their association with other molecules, including membrane receptors, cytoskeletal proteins, and signaling molecules, tetraspanins organize specialized membrane microdomains called tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TEMs). Within these microdomains, several tetraspanins have been described to regulate HIV-1 entry, assembly, and transfer between cells. Interestingly, the importance of tetraspanins CD81 and CD63 in the early steps of viral replication has been recently pointed out. Indeed, CD81 can control the turnover of the HIV-1 restriction factor SAMHD1. This deoxynucleoside triphosphate triphosphohydrolase counteracts HIV-1 reverse transcription (RT) in resting cells via its dual function as dNTPase, catalyzing deoxynucleotide triphosphates into deoxynucleosides and inorganic triphosphate, and as exonuclease able to degrade single-stranded RNAs. SAMHD1 has also been related with the detection of viral nucleic acids, regulating the innate immune response and would promote viral latency. New evidences demonstrating the ability of CD81 to control SAMHD1 expression, and as a consequence, HIV-1 RT activity, highlight the importance of TEMs for viral replication. Here, we will briefly review how tetraspanins modulate HIV-1 infection, focusing on the latest findings that link TEMs to viral replication.

Abstract
Chronic diseases are characterized by the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such than TNF-α and are frequently correlated with muscle wasting conditions. Among the pleiotropic effects of TNF-α within the cell, its binding to TNFR1 receptor has been shown to activate sphingomyelinases leading to the production of ceramides. Sphingomyelinases and TNF receptor have been localized within caveolae which are specialized RAFT enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids. Because of their inverted omega shape, maintained by the oligomerization of specialized proteins, caveolins and cavins, caveolae serve as membrane reservoir therefore providing mechanical protection to plasma membranes. Although sphingolipids metabolites, caveolins and TNF-α/TNFR1 have been shown to independently interfere with muscle physiology, no data have clearly demonstrated their concerted action on muscle cell regeneration. In this context, our study aimed at studying the molecular mechanisms induced by TNF-α at the level of caveolae in LHCN-M2 human muscle satellite cells. Here we showed that TNF-α-induced production of ROS and nSMase activation requires caveolin. More strikingly, we have demonstrated that TNF-α induces the formation of additional caveolae at the plasma membrane of myoblasts. Furthermore, TNF-α prevents myoblast fusion suggesting that inflammation could modulate caveolae organization/function and satellite cell function.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major causes of death globally. The current treatment options are insufficient, leading to unmet medical needs in cancer treatment. Off-target side effects, multidrug resistance, selective distribution to cancerous tissues, and cell membrane permeation of anti-cancer agents are critical problems to overcome. There is a method to solve these problems by using receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME). It is well known that proteins such as integrin, HER2, EGFR, or other cancer biomarkers are specifically overexpressed on the surface of target cancer cells. By taking advantage of such specific receptors, payloads can be transported into cells through endocytosis using a conjugate composed of the corresponding ligands connected to the payloads by an appropriate linker. After RME, the payloads released by endosomal escape into the cytoplasm can exhibit the cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), tumor-homing peptides (THPs), and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are utilized as ligands in this system. Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) based on RME have already been used to cure cancer. In addition to the canonical conjugate method, nanocarriers for spontaneous accumulation in cancer tissue due to enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect are extensively used. In this review, I introduce the possibilities and advantages of drug design and development based on RME for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
c-Jun N-terminal kinase 2 (JNK2) is primarily responsible for the oncogenic transformation of the transcription factor c-Jun. Expression of the proto-oncogene c-Jun progresses the cell cycle from G1 to S phase, but when its expression becomes awry it leads to uncontrolled proliferation and angiogenesis. Delivering a JNK2 siRNA (siJNK2) in tumor tissue was anticipated to reverse the condition with subsequent onset of apoptosis which predominantly requires an efficient delivering system capable of penetrating through the compact tumor mass. In the present study, it was demonstrated that polymannitol-based vector (PMGT) with inherent hyperosmotic properties was able to penetrate through and deliver the siJNK2 in the subcutaneous tumor of xenograft mice. Hyperosmotic activity of polymannitol was shown to account for the enhanced therapeutic delivery both in vitro and in vivo because of the induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) which stimulates caveolin-1 for caveolae-mediated endocytosis of the polyplexes. Further suppression of JNK2 and hence c-Jun expression led to the activation of caspase-9 to induce apoptosis and inhibition of tumor growth in xenograft mice model. The study exemplifies PMGT as an efficient vector for delivering therapeutic molecules in compact tumor tissue and suppression of JNK2 introduces a strategy to inhibit tumor progression.

Abstract
The classical pathway involving receptor activator of nuclear factor‑κB (RANK) and its ligand (RANKL) induces the activation of osteoclasts and the migration of a variety of tumor cells, including breast and lung cancer. In our previous study, the expression of RANK was identified on the surface of gastric cancer cells, however, whether the RANKL/RANK pathway is involved in the regulation of gastric cancer cell migration remains to be fully elucidated. Lipid rafts represent a major platform for the regulation of cancer signaling; however, their involvement in RANKL‑induced migration remains to be elucidated. To investigate the potential roles and mechanism of RANKL/RANK in gastric cancer migration and metastasis, the present study examined the expression of RANK by western blot analysis and the expression of caveolin‑1 (Cav‑1) in gastric cancer tissues by immunohistochemistry, in addition to cell migration which is measured by Transwell migration assay. The aggregation of lipid reft was observed by fluorescence microscopy and western blotting was used to measure signaling changes in associated pathways. The results showed that RANKL induced gastric cancer cell migration, accompanied by the activation of Cav‑1 and aggregation of lipid rafts. Nystatin, a lipid raft inhibitor, inhibited the activation of Cav‑1 and markedly reversed RANKL‑induced gastric cancer cell migration. The RANKL‑induced activation of Cav‑1 has been shown to occur with the activation of proto‑oncogene tyrosine‑protein kinase Src (c‑Src). The c‑Src inhibitor, PP2, inhibited the activation of Cav‑1 and lipid raft aggregation, and reversed RANKL‑induced gastric cancer cell migration. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that Cav‑1 was involved in RANKL‑induced cell migration in lung, renal and breast cancer cells. These results suggested that RANKL induced gastric cancer cell migration, likely through mechanisms involving the c‑Src/Cav‑1 pathway and lipid raft aggregation.

The F238L Point Mutation in the Cannabinoid Type 1 Receptor Enhances Basal Endocytosis via Lipid Rafts. Front Mol Neurosci 2018; 11:230.

Abstract
Defining functional domains and amino acid residues in G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent an important way to improve rational drug design for this major class of drug targets. The cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor is one of the most abundant GPCRs in the central nervous system and is involved in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. Interestingly, cannabinoid type 1 receptor with a phenylalanine 238 to leucine mutation (CB1F238L) has been already linked to a number of both in vitro and in vivo alterations. While CB1F238L causes significantly reduced presynaptic neurotransmitter release at the cellular level, behaviorally this mutation induces increased risk taking, social play behavior and reward sensitivity in rats. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes are not fully understood. In this study, we tested whether the F238L mutation affects trafficking and axonal/presynaptic polarization of the CB1 receptor in vitro. Steady state or ligand modulated surface expression and lipid raft association was analyzed in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells stably expressing either wild-type cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1wt) or CB1F238L receptor. Axonal/presynaptic polarization of the CB1F238L receptor was assessed in transfected primary hippocampal neurons. We show that in vitro the CB1F238L receptor displays increased association with lipid rafts, which coincides with increased lipid raft mediated constitutive endocytosis, leading to a reduction in steady state surface expression of the CB1F238L receptor. Furthermore, the CB1F238L receptor showed increased axonal polarization in primary hippocampal neurons. These data demonstrate that endocytosis of the CB1 receptor is an important mediator of axonal/presynaptic polarization and that phenylalanine 238 plays a key role in CB1 receptor trafficking and axonal polarization.

Abstract
Lipid derivatives of nucleoside analogs have been highlighted for their potential for effective gene delivery. A novel class of nucleobase-lipids are rationally designed and readily synthesized, comprising thymine/cytosine, an ester/amide linker and an oleyl lipid. The diversity of four nucleobase-lipids termed DXBAs (DOTA, DNTA, DOCA and DNCA) is investigated. Besides, DNCA is demonstrated to be an effective neutral transfection material for nucleic acid delivery, which enbles to bind to oligonucleotides via H-bonding and π-π stacking with reduced toxicity in vitro and in vivo. Several kinds of nucleic acid drugs including aptamer, ssRNA, antisense oligonucleotide, and plasmid DNAs can be delivered by DXBAs, especially DNCA. In particular, G4-aptamer AS1411 encapsulated by DNCA exhibits cellular uptake enhancement, lysosome degradation reduction, cell apoptosis promotion, cell cycle phase alteration in vitro and duration prolongation in vivo, resulting in significant anti-proliferative activity. Our results demonstrate that DNCA is a promising transfection agent for G4-aptamers and exhibites bright application prospects in the permeation improvement of single-stranded oligonucleotides or plasmid DNAs.

Abstract
Quantitative approaches to analyze the large data sets generated by single molecule localization super-resolution microscopy (SMLM) are limited. We developed a computational pipeline and applied it to analyzing 3D point clouds of SMLM localizations (event lists) of the caveolar coat protein, caveolin-1 (Cav1), in prostate cancer cells differentially expressing CAVIN1 (also known as PTRF), that is also required for caveolae formation. High degree (strongly-interacting) points were removed by an iterative blink merging algorithm and Cav1 network properties were compared with randomly generated networks to retain a sub-network of geometric structures (or blobs). Machine-learning based classification extracted 28 quantitative features describing the size, shape, topology and network characteristics of ∼80,000 blobs. Unsupervised clustering identified small S1A scaffolds corresponding to SDS-resistant Cav1 oligomers, as yet undescribed larger hemi-spherical S2 scaffolds and, only in CAVIN1-expressing cells, spherical, hollow caveolae. Multi-threshold modularity analysis suggests that S1A scaffolds interact to form larger scaffolds and that S1A dimers group together, in the presence of CAVIN1, to form the caveolae coat.

Abstract
Among the diverse factors that may influence the therapeutic outcomes, the exocytosis of targeted drug delivery systems (TDDS) and its relationship with the corresponding receptor receive little attentions. In this study, cRGDfK modified gold nanoparticles (cRGDfK-PEG-AuNPs) were synthesized, and their cellular transportation including endocytosis and exocytosis, as well as the potential relations with αvβ3 integrin were carefully studied. The results showed that the enhanced and fast internalization of cRGDfK-PEG-AuNPs into U87 cells was associated with the high expression level of αvβ3 integrin. Importantly, the significant exocytosis of cRGDfK-PEG-AuNPs, but not the PEG conjugated gold nanoparticles (PEG-AuNPs), was found under the in vivo-simulated serum containing conditions. Interestingly, the exocytosis kinetics of nanoparticles was demonstrated to be tightly related with the recycling of the αvβ3 integrin, although the exocytosis of cRGDfK-PEG-AuNPs slightly lagged behind the receptor recycling. In effect, our findings uncover a new underlying behavior of receptor mediated TDDS and have implication for their rational design and application in the future.
