ArtinM Cytotoxicity in B Cells Derived from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Depends on Syk and Src Family Kinases. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24021075. [PMID: 36674590 PMCID: PMC9863955 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24021075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Receptors on the immune cell surface have a variety of glycans that may account for the immunomodulation induced by lectins, which have a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) that binds to monosaccharides or oligosaccharides in a specific manner. ArtinM, a D-mannose-binding lectin obtained from Artocarpus heterophyllus, has affinity for the N-glycans core. Immunomodulation by ArtinM toward the Th1 phenotype occurs via its interaction with TLR2/CD14 N-glycans on antigen-presenting cells, as well as recognition of CD3γ N-glycans on murine CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. ArtinM exerts a cytotoxic effect on Jurkat human leukemic T-cell line and human myeloid leukemia cell line (NB4). The current study evaluated the effects of ArtinM on murine and human B cells derived from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. We found that murine B cells are recognized by ArtinM via the CRD, and the ArtinM stimulus did not augment the proliferation rate or production of IL-2. However, murine B cell incubation with ArtinM augmented the rate of apoptosis, and this cytotoxic effect of ArtinM was also seen in human B cell-lines sourced from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma Raji cell line. This cytotoxic effect was inhibited by the phosphatase activity of CD45 on Lck, and the protein kinases of the Src family contribute to cell death triggered by ArtinM.

Abstract
During murine germ cell development, male germ cells enter the mitotically arrested G0 stage, which is an initial step of sexually dimorphic differentiation. The male-specific RNA-binding protein NANOS2 has a key role in suppressing the cell cycle in germ cells. However, the detailed mechanism of how NANOS2 regulates the cell cycle remains unclear. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we extracted the cell cycle state of each germ cell in wild-type and Nanos2-KO testes and revealed that Nanos2 expression starts in mitotic cells and induces mitotic arrest. We identified Rheb, a regulator of mTORC1, and Ptma as possible targets of NANOS2. We propose that repression of the cell cycle is a primary function of NANOS2 and that it is mediated via the suppression of mTORC1 activity through the repression of Rheb in a post-transcriptional manner.

The acidic protein rich in leucines Anp32b is an immunomodulator of inflammation in mice. Sci Rep 2019; 9:4853. [PMID: 30890743 PMCID: PMC6424966 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-41269-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2018] [Accepted: 03/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
ANP32B belongs to a family of evolutionary conserved acidic nuclear phosphoproteins (ANP32A-H). Family members have been described as multifunctional regulatory proteins and proto-oncogenic factors affecting embryonic development, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and gene expression at various levels. Involvement of ANP32B in multiple processes of cellular life is reflected by the previous finding that systemic gene knockout (KO) of Anp32b leads to embryonic lethality in mice. Here, we demonstrate that a conditional KO of Anp32b is well tolerated in adult animals. However, after immune activation splenocytes isolated from Anp32b KO mice showed a strong commitment towards Th17 immune responses. Therefore, we further analyzed the respective animals in vivo using an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model. Interestingly, an exacerbated clinical score was observed in the Anp32b KO mice. This was accompanied by the finding that animal-derived T lymphocytes were in a more activated state, and RNA sequencing analyses revealed hyperactivation of several T lymphocyte-associated immune modulatory pathways, attended by significant upregulation of Tfh cell numbers that altogether might explain the observed strong autoreactive processes. Therefore, Anp32b appears to fulfill a role in regulating adequate adaptive immune responses and, hence, may be involved in dysregulation of pathways leading to autoimmune disorders and/or immune deficiencies.

Abstract
We previously found that deletion of the multifunctional factor ANP32B (a.k.a. SSP29,
APRIL, PAL31, PHAPI2) resulted in a severe but strain-specific defect resulting in
perinatal lethality. The difficulty in generating an adult cohort of ANP32B-deficient
animals limited our ability to examine adult phenotypes, particularly cancer-related
phenotypes. We bred the Anp32b-null allele into the BALB/c and FVB/N
genetic background. The BALB/c, but not the FVB/N, background provided sufficient
frequency of adult Anp32b-null (Anp32b−/−)
animals. From these, we found no apparent oncogenic role for this protein in mammary
tumorigenesis contrary to what was predicted based on human data. We also found runtism,
pathologies in various organ systems, and an unusual clinical chemistry signature in the
adult Anp32b−/− mice. Intriguingly, genome-wide
single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis suggested that our colony retained an unlinked
C57BL/6J locus at high frequency. Breeding this locus to homozygosity demonstrated that it
had a strong effect on Anp32b−/− viability indicating that
this locus contains a modifier gene of Anp32b with respect to
development. This suggests a functionally important genetic interaction with one of a
limited number of candidate genes, foremost among them being the variant histone gene
H2afv. Using congenic breeding strategies, we have generated a viable
ANP32B-deficient animal in a mostly pure background. We have used this animal to reliably
exclude mouse ANP32B as an important oncogene in mammary tumorigenesis. Our further
phenotyping strengthens the evidence that ANP32B is a widespread regulator of gene
expression. These studies may also impact the choice of subsequent groups with respect to
congenic breeding versus de novo zygote targeting strategies for
background analyses in mouse genetics.

Abstract
Sloan-Kettering virus gene, a product of a cellular proto-oncogene c-Ski is a unique nuclear pro-oncoprotein and belongs to the Ski/Sno proto-oncogene family. The aim of the present study was to locate Ski protein in rat ovaries in order to find insights into the possible involvement of Ski in follicular development. First, expression of c-Ski mRNA in the ovaries of adult female rats was confirmed by RT-PCR. Then, ovaries obtained on the day of estrus were subjected to immunohistochemical analysis for Ski and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in combination with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). RT-PCR and in situ hybridization revealed that c-Ski mRNA was expressed in the ovaries of the adult rat on the day of estrous and localized mainly in the granulose cells. Ski was expressed in granulosa cells that were positive for TUNEL, but negative for PCNA, regardless of the shape and size of follicles. Expression of Ski in TUNEL-positive granulosa cells, but not in PCNA-positive granulosa cells, was also verified in rats having atretic follicles with double staining. These results indicate that Ski is profoundly expressed in the granulosa cells of atretic follicles, but not in growing follicles. Based on the present findings, Ski may play a role in the apoptosis of granulosa cells during follicular atresia.

Abstract
One member of the highly conserved acidic leucine‑rich nuclear phosphoprotein 32 kDa (ANP32) family of proteins, ANP32B, is critical for normal development, as demonstrated by a study in ANP32B‑deficient mice. Another study indicated that ANP32B was a direct substrate of caspase‑3, and was primarily cleaved at the sequence Ala‑Glu‑Val‑Asp, following Asp‑163. To investigate the significance of ANP32B cleavage in apoptosis, leukemic U937T cell lines were generated with inducible expression of ANP32B(wild type; WT), the uncleavable mutant ANP32B(D163A) and the N‑terminal fragment ANP32B(1‑163). Notably, overexpression of ANP32B(WT) and ANP32B(D163A) moderately increased and significantly enhanced etoposide‑induced apoptosis and caspase‑3 activation, whereas expression of ANP32B(1‑163) produced no effect. Two hypotheses have been generated, which may explain the distinct roles of the various ANP32B forms: i) ANP32B(WT) and ANP32B(D163A) localize in the nucleus while ANP32B(1‑163) mainly resides in the cytosol; or ii) ANP32B(WT) and ANP32B(D163A), but not ANP32B(1‑163), inhibit the expression of the anti‑apoptotic protein Bcl‑2. Based on these observations, caspase‑3‑resistant uncleavable ANP32B(D163A) is hypothesized to be pro‑apoptotic in leukemic cells.

Abstract
Background Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to a series of reactive changes and causes severe neurological deficits. A pronounced inflammation contributes to secondary pathology after SCI. Astroglia respond to SCI by proliferating, migrating, and altering phenotype. The impact of reactive gliosis on the pathogenesis of SCI is not fully understood. Our previous study has identified an inflammatory modulating protein, proliferation related acidic leucine-rich protein (PAL31) which is upregulated in the microglia/macrophage of injured cords. Because PAL31 participates in cell cycle progression and reactive astroglia often appears in the injured cord, we aim to examine whether PAL31 is involved in glial modulation after injury. Results Enhanced PAL31 expression was shown not only in microglia/macrophages but also in spinal astroglia after SCI. Cell culture study reveal that overexpression of PAL31 in mixed glial cells or in C6 astroglia significantly reduced LPS/IFNγ stimulation. Further, enhanced PAL31 expression in C6 astroglia protected cells from H2O2 toxicity; however, this did not affect its proliferative activity. The inhibiting effect of PAL31 on LPS/IFNγ stimulation was observed in glia or C6 after co-culture with neuronal cells. The results demonstrated that the overexpressed PAL31 in glial cells protected neuronal damages through inhibiting NF-kB signaling and iNOS. Conclusions Our data suggest that PAL31upregulation might be beneficial after spinal cord injury. Reactive gliosis might become a good target for future therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
The highly conserved ANP32 proteins are proposed to function in a broad array of physiological activities through molecular mechanisms as diverse as phosphatase inhibition, chromatin regulation, caspase activation, and intracellular transport. On the basis of previous analyses of mice bearing targeted mutations of Anp32a or Anp32e, there has been speculation that all ANP32 proteins play redundant roles and are dispensable for normal development. However, more recent work has suggested that ANP32B may in fact have functions that are not shared by other ANP32 family members. Here we report that ANP32B expression is associated with a poor prognosis in human breast cancer, consistent with the increased levels of Anp32b mRNA present in proliferating wild-type (WT) murine embryonic fibroblasts and stimulated WT B and T lymphocytes. Moreover, we show that, contrary to previous assumptions, Anp32b is very important for murine embryogenesis. In a mixed genetic background, ANP32B-deficient mice displayed a partially penetrant perinatal lethality that became fully penetrant in a pure C57BL/6 background. Surviving ANP32B-deficient mice showed reduced viability due to variable defects in various organ systems. Study of compound mutants lacking ANP32A, ANP32B, and/or ANP32E revealed previously hidden roles for ANP32A in mouse development that became apparent only in the complete absence of ANP32B. Our data demonstrate a hierarchy of importance for the mammalian Anp32 genes, with Anp32b being the most critical for normal development.

Abstract
Background Accumulated literature suggests that the acidic nuclear phosphoprotein 32 kilodalton (Anp32) proteins control multiple cellular activities through different molecular mechanisms. Like other Anp32 family members, Anp32e (a.k.a. Cpd1, PhapIII) has been conserved throughout vertebrate evolution, suggesting that it has an important function in organismal survival. Principal Findings Here, we demonstrate that the Anp32e gene can be deleted in mice without any apparent effect on their wellbeing. No defects in thymocyte apoptosis in response to various stresses, fibroblast growth, gross behaviour, physical ability, or pathogenesis were defined. Furthermore, combined deletion of Anp32a and Anp32e also resulted in a viable and apparently healthy mouse. Significance These results provide evidence that significant functional redundancy exists among Anp32 family members.

Abstract
Eukaryotic gene expression is regulated by histone deposition onto and eviction from nucleosomes, which are mediated by several chromatin-modulating factors. Among them, histone chaperones are key factors that facilitate nucleosome assembly. Acidic nuclear phosphoprotein 32B (ANP32B) belongs to the ANP32 family, which shares N-terminal leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) and a C-terminal variable anionic region. The C-terminal region functions as an inhibitor of histone acetylation, but the functional roles of the LRR domain in chromatin regulation have remained elusive. Here, we report that the LRR domain of ANP32B possesses histone chaperone activity and forms a curved structure with a parallel beta-sheet on the concave side and mostly helical elements on the convex side. Our analyses revealed that the interaction of ANP32B with the core histones H3-H4 occurs on its concave side, and both the acidic and hydrophobic residues that compose the concave surface are critical for histone binding. These results provide a structural framework for understanding the functional mechanisms of acidic histone chaperones.

Abstract
The acidic leucine-rich nuclear phosphoprotein 32 (ANP32)B has been reported to regulate gene expression by acting as a histone chaperone or modulate messenger RNA trafficking by serving as a HuR ligand. However, its exact cellular functions are poorly understood. By utilizing a proteomics-based approach, in this work, we identify that the human ANP32B protein is cleaved during apoptosis induction by NSC606985, a novel camptothecin analog. Further investigation shows that various apoptosis inducers cause a decrease of full-length ANP32B in multiple cell lines with a concomitant increase of an approximately 17 kDa fragment. The proteolytic cleavage of ANP32B is inhibited by a specific caspase-3 inhibitor Z-DEVD-fmk, and it cannot be seen in NSC606985-induced death of caspase-3-deficient MCF-7 cells. In vitro caspase cleavage assay and mutagenesis experiment reveal that ANP32B is a direct substrate of caspase-3 and it is primarily cleaved at the sequence of Ala-Glu-Val-Asp, after Asp-163. Additionally, the reduced expression of endogenous ANP32B by specific small interfering RNA enhances caspase-3 activation and apoptosis induction by NSC606985 and etoposide. These results suggest that ANP32B is a novel substrate for caspase-3 and acts as a negative regulator for apoptosis, the mechanism of which remains to be explored.

Abstract
Members of the leucine-rich repeat protein family are involved in diverse functions including protein phosphatase 2-inhibition, cell cycle regulation, gene regulation and signalling pathways. A novel Schistosoma mansoni gene, called SmLANP, presenting homology to various genes coding for proteins that belong to the super family of leucine-rich repeat proteins, was characterized here. SmLANP was 1184bp in length as determined from cDNA and genomic sequences and encoded a 296 amino acid open reading frame that spanning from 6 to 894bp. The predicted amino acid sequence had a calculated molecular weight of 32kDa. Analysis of the predicted sequence indicated the presence of 3 leucine-rich domains (LRR) located in the N-terminal region and an aspartic acid rich region in the C-terminal end. SmLANP transcript is expressed in all stages of the S. mansoni life cycle analyzed, exhibiting the highest expression level in males. The SmLANP protein was expressed in a GST expression system and antibodies raised in mice against the recombinant protein. By immunolocalization assay, using adult worms, it was shown that the protein is mainly present in the cell nucleus through the whole body and strongly expressed along the tegument cell body nuclei of adult worms. As members of this family are usually involved in protein-protein interaction, a yeast two hybrid assay was conducted to identify putative binding partners for SmLANP. Thirty-six possible partners were identified, and a protein ATP synthase subunit alpha was confirmed by pull down assays, as a binding partner of the SmLANP protein.

Abstract
Proliferation related acidic leucine-rich protein PAL31 (PAL31) is expressed in proliferating cells and consists of 272 amino acids with a tandem structure of leucine-rich repeats in the N-terminus and a highly acidic region with a putative nuclear localization signal in the C-terminus. We previously reported that PAL31 is required for cell cycle progression. In the present study, we found that the antisense oligonucleotide of PAL31 induced apoptosis to the transfected Nb2 cells. Stable transfectants, in which PAL31 was regulated by an inducible promoter, were generated to gain further insight into the signaling role of PAL31 in the regulation of apoptosis. Expression of PAL31 resulted in the marked rescue of Rat1 cells from etoposide and UV radiation-induced apoptosis and the cytoprotection was correlated with the levels of PAL31 protein. Thus, cytoprotection from apoptosis is a physiological function of PAL31. PAL31 can suppress caspase-3 activity but not cytochrome c release in vitro, indicating that PAL31 is a direct caspase-3 inhibitor. In conclusion, PAL31 is a multifunctional protein working as a cell cycle progression factor as well as a cell survival factor.

Abstract
The olfactory epithelium has the unusual ability to replace its neurons. We forced replacement of mouse olfactory sensory neurons by bulbectomy. Microarray, bioinformatics, and in situ hybridization techniques detected a rapid shift in favor of pro-apoptotic proteins, a progressive immune response by macrophages and dendritic cells, and identified or predicted 439 mRNAs enriched in olfactory sensory neurons, including gene silencing factors and sperm flagellar proteins. Transcripts encoding cell cycle regulators, axonogenesis proteins, and transcription factors and signaling proteins that promote proliferation and differentiation were increased at 5--7 days after bulbectomy and were expressed by basal progenitor cells or immature neurons. The transcription factors included Nhlh 1, Hes 6, Lmyc 1, c-Myc, Mxd 4, Id 1, Nmyc 1, Cited 2, c-Myb, Mybl 1, Tead 2, Dp 1, Gata 2, Lmo 1, and Sox1 1. The data reveal significant similarities with embryonic neurogenesis and make several mechanistic predictions, including the roles of the transcription factors in the olfactory sensory neuron lineage.

Abstract
Herein we describe the characteristic features of the Anp32 family represented by the cerebellar leucine-rich repeat protein (Lanp) and the cerebellar developmental-regulated protein 1 (Cpd1). The Anp32 family consists of 32 evolutionarily-conserved proteins and is included within the superfamily of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) proteins characterized by the presence of tandem arrays of a LRR, a structural motif implicated in the mediation of protein-protein interactions. We describe three novel human Anp32 proteins, reveal the evolutionary relationships of the members of the Anp32 family, provide insights into their biochemical and structural properties, and review their macromolecular interactions, substrate specificities, tissue distribution/expression patterns, and physiological and pathological roles. Recent findings indicate a conserved role of members of the Anp32 family during evolution in the modulation of cell signalling and transduction of gene expression to regulate the morphology and dynamics of the cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, neural development or cerebellar morphogenesis.

Abstract
The distribution of cells incorporating bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and the expression of molecules involved in the control of cell proliferation (proliferating cell nuclear antigen [PCNA], a cellular factor in F9 teratocarcinoma cells that recognizes an adenovirus E1A inducible promoter 1 [E2F1] and proliferation-related acidic nuclear protein 31 [PAL31]) during morphogenesis of the murine palatine rugae (PR) was examined histochemically. Pattern formation of the PR rudiment was initiated with cell cycle related molecules in the epithelium of the primary palate. Cells which had incorporated BrdU were detected at the outer areas of the presumptive epithelial placode (EP) and the EP at 11.5-13.5 days post coitum (dpc) and the outer areas of the PR protrusion after 14.5 dpc. The number of PCNA-positive cells at the central area of the PR protrusion decreased after 16.5 dpc. E2F-positive cells were detected at the outer areas of the PR protrusion at 15.5 and 16.5 dpc. The number of PAL31-positive cells at the presumptive EP area and the already-formed EP area was decreased at 11.5-13.5 dpc. In two dimensional histological reconstructions, PAL31 expression approximately corresponded to the distribution of BrdU-positive cells at 11.5 and 13.5 dpc. EP placode formation might be regulated by spatiotemporal cell proliferation control involving the expression of the PAL31 molecule. Following EP formation, PR development and growth control involved the expression of E2F1 and PCNA molecules.

Abstract
In certain types of solid tumours and lymphomas prolactin (PRL) potentiates tumour cell proliferation and exerts anti-apoptotic effect. Tumour cells themselves can produce PRL and express PRL-receptors. Hyperprolactinemia is associated with different tumours, also. Multiple myeloma (MM) is a haematological malignancy caused by the clonal expansion of terminally differentiated plasma cells in the bone marrow. Recently, we demonstrated PRL immunostaining in bone marrow cells of MM patients and an elevated level of serum PRL of MM patients with advanced disease. In the present study, we tested the effect of PRL on a U266 human myeloma cell line and demonstrated constitutive and melphalan-stimulated intracytoplasmic PRL in U266 cells. Exogeneous PRL inhibited the proliferation and immunoglobulin (Ig) production of U266 myeloma cells. Concerning etoposide-induced apoptosis, PRL had a double-faceted effect depending on the applied dose: high, pharmacological doses (corresponding to hyperprolactinemia), inhibited apoptosis, whereas near physiological doses exerted a pro-apoptotic effect. These data indicate a definite effect of PRL on a human myeloma cell line. We demonstrated a direct inhibition of PRL on tumour cell growth, while its reciprocal effect on apoptosis refers to an important regulatory role of PRL.

Abstract
PAL31 is a proliferation-related acidic nuclear protein that belongs to the leucine-rich protein family and is expressed cell-cycle-dependently. Trophoblasts differentiate into the trophoblast giant cells (TGCs) through the unusual type of cell cycle, namely endoreduplication. In the present study, we investigated the spatiotemporal pattern of PAL31 expression in rat placenta and Rcho-1 cell line. The PAL31 mRNA concentration varied in different areas of the placenta, and was barely detectable in the TGC layer. In Rcho-1 cells, although the level of PAL31 mRNA decreased dramatically during differentiation, PAL31 was detected even after differentiation. The site of intranuclear localization of PAL31 mostly overlapped with that of PCNA in the undifferentiated Rcho-1 cells, while they were not overlapped in differentiated cells. Thus, the subcellular localization of PAL31 in Rcho-1 cells significantly changed, and loss of cell cycle dependency after differentiation was noted. PAL31 is suggested to play a role in the endoreduplication distinct from the usual DNA duplication.
