Abstract
Aberrant Ras homologous (Rho) GTPase signalling is a major driver of cancer metastasis, and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), the negative regulators of RhoGTPases, are considered promising targets for suppressing metastasis, yet drug discovery efforts have remained elusive. Here, we report the identification and characterization of adhibin, a synthetic allosteric inhibitor of RhoGAP class-IX myosins that abrogates ATPase and motor function, suppressing RhoGTPase-mediated modes of cancer cell metastasis. In human and murine adenocarcinoma and melanoma cell models, including three-dimensional spheroid cultures, we reveal anti-migratory and anti-adhesive properties of adhibin that originate from local disturbances in RhoA/ROCK-regulated signalling, affecting actin-dynamics and actomyosin-based cell-contractility. Adhibin blocks membrane protrusion formation, disturbs remodelling of cell-matrix adhesions, affects contractile ring formation, and disrupts epithelial junction stability; processes severely impairing single/collective cell migration and cytokinesis. Combined with the non-toxic, non-pathological signatures of adhibin validated in organoids, mouse and Drosophila models, this mechanism of action provides the basis for developing anti-metastatic cancer therapies.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1243303. [PMID: 37675403 PMCID: PMC10477788 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1243303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Myosin IXB (MYO9B) is an unconventional myosin with RhoGAP activity and thus is a regulator of actin cytoskeletal organization. MYO9B was previously shown to be necessary for skeletal growth and health and to play a role in actin-based functions of both osteoblasts and osteoclasts. However, its role in responses to mechanical stimulation of bone cells has not yet been described. Therefore, experiments were undertaken to determine the role of MYO9B in bone cell responses to mechanical stress both in vitro and in vivo. Methods: MYO9B expression was knocked down in osteoblast and osteocyte cell lines using RNA interference and the resulting cells were subjected to mechanical stresses including cyclic tensile strain, fluid shear stress, and plating on different substrates (no substrate vs. monomeric or polymerized collagen type I). Osteocytic cells were also subjected to MYO9B regulation through Slit-Robo signaling. Further, wild-type or Myo9b -/- mice were subjected to a regimen of whole-body vibration (WBV) and changes in bone quality were assessed by micro-CT. Results: Unlike control cells, MYO9B-deficient osteoblastic cells subjected to uniaxial cyclic tensile strain were unable to orient their actin stress fibers perpendicular to the strain. Osteocytic cells in which MYO9B was knocked down exhibited elongated dendrites but were unable to respond normally to treatments that increase dendrite length such as fluid shear stress and Slit-Robo signaling. Osteocytic responses to mechanical stimuli were also found to be dependent on the polymerization state of collagen type I substrates. Wild-type mice responded to WBV with increased bone tissue mineral density values while Myo9b -/- mice responded with bone loss. Discussion: These results demonstrate that MYO9B plays a key role in mechanical stress-induced responses of bone cells in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a potentially disabling orthopedic condition that requires total hip arthroplasty in most late-stage cases. However, mechanisms underlying the development of ONFH remain unknown, and the therapeutic strategies remain limited. Growth factors play a crucial role in different physiological processes, including cell proliferation, invasion, metabolism, apoptosis, and stem cell differentiation. Recent studies have reported that polymorphisms of growth factor-related genes are involved in the pathogenesis of ONFH. Tissue and genetic engineering are attractive strategies for treating early-stage ONFH. In this review, we summarized dysregulated growth factor-related genes and their role in the occurrence and development of ONFH. In addition, we discussed their potential clinical applications in tissue and genetic engineering for the treatment of ONFH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During eye development the lens placode invaginates to form the lens pit. Further bending of lens epithelium and separation from ectoderm leads eventually to a spherical lens vesicle with enclosed extracellular fluid. Changes in epithelial morphology involve the actin cytoskeleton and its regulators. The myosin Myo9b is simultaneously an actin-based motor and Rho GTPase-activating protein that regulates actin cytoskeleton organization. Myo9b-deficient adult mice and embryos were analyzed for eye malformations and alterations in lens development. RESULTS Myo9b-deficient mice showed a high incidence of microphthalmia and cataracts with occasional blepharitis. Formation of the lens vesicle during embryonic lens development was disordered in virtually all embryos. Lens placode invagination was less deep and gave rise to a conical structure instead of a spherical pit. At later stages either no lens vesicle was formed or a significantly smaller one that was not enclosed by the optic cup. Expression of the cell fate marker Pax6 was not altered. Staining of adherens junctions and F-actin was most intense at the tip of conical invaginations, suggesting that mechanical forces are not properly coordinated between epithelial cells that form the pit. CONCLUSIONS Myo9b is a critical regulator of ocular lens vesicle morphogenesis during eye development.

Abstract
ARHGAP21 is a member of the RhoGAP family of proteins involved in cell growth, differentiation, and adhesion. We have previously shown that the heterozygous Arhgap21 knockout mouse model (Arhgap21+/-) presents several alterations in the hematopoietic compartment, including increased frequency of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) with impaired adhesion in vitro, increased mobilization to peripheral blood, and decreased engraftment after bone marrow transplantation. Although these HSPC functions strongly depend on their interactions with the components of the bone marrow (BM) niche, the role of ARHGAP21 in the marrow microenvironment has not yet been explored. In this study, we investigated the composition and function of the BM microenvironment in Arhgap21+/- mice. The BM of Arhgap21+/- mice presented a significant increase in the frequency of phenotypic osteoblastic lineage cells, with no differences in the frequencies of multipotent stromal cells or endothelial cells when compared to the BM of wild type mice. Arhgap21+/- BM cells had increased capacity of generating osteogenic colony-forming units (CFU-OB) in vitro and higher levels of osteocalcin were detected in the Arhgap21+/- BM supernatant. Increased expression of Col1a1, Ocn and decreased expression of Trap1 were observed after osteogenic differentiation of Arhgap21+/- BM cells. In addition, Arhgap21+/- mice recipients of normal BM cells showed decreased leucocyte numbers during transplantation recovery. Our data suggest participation of ARHGAP21 in the balanced composition of the BM microenvironment through the regulation of osteogenic differentiation.

Association between Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 and Relative Skeletal Maturation: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Short Children and Adolescents. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:8052143.

Abstract
Objective Delays in skeletal maturity are related to bone mass and fracture risk in children, but the factors that determine it are unknown. We aimed to identify the association between insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and skeletal maturation before and after growth hormone (GH) treatment. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we observed 783 short children and adolescents, 229 of whom received GH therapy. Skeletal maturation was assessed based on the difference between bone age (BA) and chronological age (CA) (noted as BA-CA). Anthropometric data and laboratory values were measured, and BA was evaluated using the Greulich and Pyle method. Results The delayed BA group was defined as BA‐CA < −2 SD (n = 457), and the occurrence rate of BA delay was 58.37%. A nonlinear relationship was observed between the IGF-1 standard deviation score (IGF-1 SDS) and BA-CA before and after GH therapy. Before GH therapy, there was a significant positive association between the IGF-1 SDS and BA-CA when the IGF-1 level was greater than -2 SDS (β 0.17, 95% CI 0.08, 027; P < 0.001). However, we did not observe a significant relationship between the IGF-1 SDS and BA-CA when the IGF-1 level was lower than -2 SDS (β 0.07, 95% CI -0.12, 0.26; P = 0.454). After GH therapy, there was a significant positive association between the IGF-1 SDS and BA-CA when the IGF-1 level was lower than 2 SDS (β 0.20, 95% CI 0.12, 028; P < 0.001). However, we did not observe a significant relationship between the IGF-1 SDS and BA-CA when the IGF-1 level was greater than 2 SDS (β -0.03, 95% CI -0.33, 0.27; P = 0.866). Conclusion BA is more delayed in short children and adolescents. There is a nonlinear relationship between IGF-1 and BA maturation in short children before and after GH treatment. These findings suggest that a low level of IGF-1 may contribute to BA delay in short children and adolescents.

Abstract
Class IX myosins are simultaneously motor and signaling molecules. In addition to myosin class-specific functions of the tail region, they feature unique motor properties. Within their motor region they contain a long insertion with a calmodulin- and a F-actin-binding site. The rate-limiting step in the ATPase cycle is ATP hydrolysis rather than, typical for other myosins, the release of either product. This means that class IX myosins spend a large fraction of their cycle time in the ATP-bound state, which is typically a low F-actin affinity state. Nevertheless, class IX myosins in the ATP-bound state stochastically switch between a low and a high F-actin affinity state. Single motor domains even show characteristics of processive movement towards the plus end of actin filaments. The insertion thereby acts as an actin tether. The motor domain transports as intramolecular cargo a signaling Rho GTPase-activating protein domain located in the tail region. Rho GTPase-activating proteins catalyze the conversion of active GTP-bound Rho to inactive GDP-bound Rho by stimulating GTP hydrolysis. In cells, Rho activity regulates actin cytoskeleton organization and actomyosin II contractility. Thus, class IX myosins regulate cell morphology, cell migration, cell-cell junctions and membrane trafficking. These cellular functions affect embryonic development, adult organ homeostasis and immune responses. Human diseases associated with mutations in the two class IX myosins, Myo9a and Myo9b, have been identified, including hydrocephalus and congenital myasthenic syndrome in connection with Myo9a and autoimmune diseases in connection with Myo9b.

Abstract
The study was performed to investigate the genetic associations of IGF-1 polymorphisms rs35767, rs5742714, and rs972936 with susceptibility to osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) among Chinese Han population.Totally, 101 ONFH patients and 128 healthy controls were enrolled. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was detected with chi-square test in control group. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated to estimate the relationship between IGF-1 polymorphisms and ONFH risk. Besides, hyplotype analysis was performed to examine linkage disequilibrium between the studied polymorphisms.Genotype AA and allele A of polymorphism rs35767 were more frequent in control group, and offered protection for ONFH onset (AA: OR = 0.382, 95% CI = 0.158-0.923; A: OR = 0.650, 95% CI = 0.442-0.956). Furthermore, the negative relationship was also observed between ONFH risk and polymorphism rs5742714 under the comparisons CG vs CC, and G vs C (OR = 0.395, 95%CI = 0.199-0.787; OR = 0.346, 95%CI = 0.191-0.627). While the polymorphism rs972936 significantly enhanced the disease risk (CT vs CC: OR = 2.434, 95% CI = 1.184-5.003; TT vs CC: OR = 2.497, 95% CI = 1.040-5.990). Furthermore, haplotype analysis demonstrated that C-T (rs5742714-rs972936) could increase ONFH risk (OR = 2.177, 95% CI = 1.444-3.283), while G-T might be a protective factor for ONFH (OR = 0.472, 95% CI = 0.254-0.878).IGF-1 polymorphisms rs35767, rs5742714, and rs972936 show significant association with ONFH risk.

Abstract
Skeletal quantity and quality are determined by processes of bone modeling and remodeling, which are undertaken by cells that build and resorb bone as they respond to mechanical, hormonal, and other external and internal signals. As the sole bone resorptive cell type, osteoclasts possess a remarkably dynamic actin cytoskeleton that drives their function in this enterprise. Actin rearrangements guide osteoclasts’ capacity for precursor fusion during differentiation, for migration across bone surfaces and sensing of their composition, and for generation of unique actin superstructures required for the resorptive process. In this regard, it is not surprising that myosins, the superfamily of actin-based motor proteins, play key roles in osteoclast physiology. This review briefly summarizes current knowledge of the osteoclast actin cytoskeleton and describes myosins’ roles in osteoclast differentiation, migration, and actin superstructure patterning.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine relationships among a variety of bone characteristics, including volumetric, mineral density, geometric, dynamic mechanical analysis, and static fracture mechanical properties. As MYO9B is an unconventional myosin in bone cells responsible for normal skeletal growth, bone characteristics of wild-type (WT), heterozygous (HET), and MYO9B knockout (KO) mice groups were compared as an animal model to express different bone quantity and quality. Forty-five sex-matched 12-week-old mice were used in this study. After euthanization, femurs were isolated and scanned using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) to assess bone volumetric, tissue mineral density (TMD), and geometric parameters. Then, a non-destructive dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was performed by applying oscillatory bending displacement on the femur. Finally, the same femur was subject to static fracture testing. KO group had significantly lower length, bone mineral density (BMD), bone mass and volume, dynamic and static stiffness, and strength than WT and HET groups (p < 0.019). On the other hand, TMD parameters of KO group were comparable with those of WT group. HET group showed volumetric, geometric, and mechanical properties similar to WT group, but had lower TMD (p < 0.014). Non-destructive micro-CT and DMA parameters had significant positive correlations with strength (p < 0.015) without combined effect of groups and sex on the correlations (p > 0.077). This comprehensive characterization provides a better understanding of interactive behavior between the tissue- and organ-level of the same femur. The current findings elucidate that MYO9B is responsible for controlling bone volume to determine the growth rate and fracture risk of bone.

Arginine reverses growth hormone resistance through the inhibition of toll-like receptor 4-mediated inflammatory pathway. Metabolism 2018; 79:10-23. [PMID: 29080813 DOI: 10.1016/j.metabol.2017.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2017] [Revised: 09/09/2017] [Accepted: 10/04/2017] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Growth hormone stimulates growth by increasing insulin-like growth factor 1 expression and secretion. In the presence of insufficient nutrients, GH increases, whereas IGF-1 expression becomes severely suppressed, leading to GH resistance. This study aimed to explore the effect of arginine (Arg) on GH resistance during malnutrition and to describe its underlying mechanism. METHODS C57BL/6J mice were injected intraperitoneally with Arg for 1h or subjected to caloric restriction with Arg supplement in drinking water for 18days. HepG2 cells were exposed to different Arg concentrations for 24h. Signaling pathway agonists/inhibitors, siRNA, and overexpression plasmids were used to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism. Liver-specific toll-like receptor (TLR4) knockout mice were utilized to clarify the role of TLR4 in Arg-induced IGF-I expression and secretion. RESULTS Arg inhibited the TLR4 downstream pathway by binding to TLR4 and consequently activated Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 signaling pathway. As a result, IGF-1 transcription and secretion increased. Arg activity was absent in liver-specific TLR4 knockout mice and was greatly suppressed in liver with overexpressed TLR4, suggesting that hepatic TLR4 was required and sufficient to induce GH resistance. By contrast, the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway was unnecessary for Arg activity. Arg not only significantly increased IGF-1 expression and secretion under acute fasting and chronic CR conditions but also attenuated body weight loss. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate a previously unappreciated pathway involving Arg that reverses GH resistance and alleviates malnutrition-induced growth restriction through the inhibition of TLR4-mediated inflammatory pathway.
