Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are defined as transcripts with more than 200 nucleotides that have little or no coding potential. In recent years, due to the development of next-generation sequencing (NGS), a large number of studies have revealed that lncRNAs function as key regulators to maintain immune balance and participate in diverse physiological and pathological processes in the human body. Notably, overwhelming evidence suggests that lncRNAs can regulate innate immune responses, the differentiation and development of immune cells, inflammatory autoimmune diseases, and many other immunological processes with distinct regulatory mechanisms. In this review, we summarized the emerging roles of lncRNAs in macrophage development and polarization. In addition, the potential value of lncRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of aberrant immune responses and inflammatory diseases are discussed.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of diverse biological processes; however, their function in macrophage activation is undefined. We describe a new regulatory mechanism, where an unreported lncRNA, PTPRE-AS1, targets receptor-type tyrosine protein phosphatase ε (PTPRE) to regulate macrophage activation. PTPRE-AS1 was selectively expressed in IL-4-stimulated macrophages, and its knockdown promoted M2 macrophage activation via MAPK/ERK 1/2 pathway. In vivo, PTPRE-AS1 deficiency enhanced IL-4-mediated M2 macrophage activation and accelerated pulmonary allergic inflammation while reducing chemical-induced colitis. Mechanistically, PTPRE-AS1 bound WDR5 directly, modulating H3K4me3 of the PTPRE promoter to regulate PTPRE-dependent signaling during M2 macrophage activation. Further, the expression of PTPRE-AS1 and PTPRE was significantly lower in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with allergic asthma. These results provide evidence supporting the importance of PTPRE-AS1 in controlling macrophage function and the potential utility of PTPRE-AS1 as a target for controlling inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Phosphorylation on tyrosine residues is recognized as an important mechanism for connecting extracellular stimuli to cellular events and defines a variety of physiologic responses downstream of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activation. To date, few protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) have been shown to associate with GPCRs, and little is known about their role in GPCR signaling. To discover potential cysteinyl-leukotriene receptor (CysLT1R)-interacting proteins, we identified protein tyrosine phosphatase ε (PTPε) in a yeast two-hybrid assay. Since both proteins are closely linked to asthma, we further investigated their association. Using a human embryonic kidney cell line 293 (HEK-293) cell line stably transfected with the receptor (HEK-LT1), as well as human primary monocytes, we found that PTPε colocalized with CysLT1R in both resting and leukotriene D4 (LTD4)-stimulated cells. Cotransfection of HEK-LT1 with PTPε had no effect on CysLT1R expression or LTD4-induced internalization, but it inhibited LTD4-induced CXC chemokine 8 (CXCL8) promoter transactivation, protein expression, and secretion. Moreover, reduced phosphorylation of extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), but not of p38 or c-Jun-N-terminal kinase 1 or 2 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), was observed upon LTD4 stimulation of HEK-LT1 coexpressing cytosolic (cyt-) PTPε, but not receptor (R) PTPε The increased interaction of cyt-PTPε and ERK1/2 after LTD4 stimulation was shown by coimmunoprecipitation. In addition, enhanced ERK1/2 phosphorylation and CXCL8 secretion were found in LTD4-stimulated human monocytes transfected with PTPε-specific siRNAs, adding support to a regulatory/inhibitory role of PTPε in CysLT1R signaling. Given that the prevalence of severe asthma is increasing, the identification of PTPε as a new potential therapeutic target may be of interest.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation is an important post-translation modification of proteins that is controlled by tyrosine kinases and phosphatases. Disruption of the balance between the activity of tyrosine kinases and phosphatases may result in diseases. Receptor type protein tyrosine phosphatase epsilon (PTPRE) is closely related with receptor type protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha (PTPRA). PTPRE has been studied in osteoclast cells, nerve cells, hematopoietic cells, cancer cells and others, and it has different functions among various tissues. In this review, we summarized the current knowledge about the regulation of PTPRE on cellular signal transduction and its function under normal and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Grass carp is an important aquaculture fish species in China that is affected by severe diseases, especially haemorrhagic disease caused by grass carp reovirus (GCRV). However, the mechanisms of GCRV invasion and infection remain to be elucidated. In the present study, Ctenopharyngodon idellus kidney (CIK) cells were infected with GCRV, harvested at 0, 8, 24, and 72 h post infection, respectively, and then subjected to transcriptomics sequencing. Each sample yielded more than 6 Gb of clean data and 40 million clean reads. To better understand GCRV infection, the process was divided into three phases: the early (0-8 h post infection), middle (8-24 h post infection), and late (24-72 h) stages of infection. A total of 76 (35 up-regulated, 41 down-regulated), 553 (463 up-regulated, 90 down-regulated), and 284 (150 up-regulated, 134 down-regulated) differently expressed genes (DEGs) were identified during the early, middle, and late stages of infection, respectively. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were mainly involved in carbohydrate biosynthesis, transport, and endocytosis in the early stage, phagocytosis and lysosome pathways were mainly enriched in the middle stage, and programmed cell death, apoptosis, and inflammation were largely associated with the late stage. These results suggest GCRV infection is a gradual process involving adsorption on the cell surface, followed by endocytosis into cells, transport by lysosomes, and eventually resulted in cell necrosis and/or apoptosis. Our findings provide insight into the mechanisms of grass carp reovirus infection.

Abstract
Increased tyrosine phosphorylation has been correlated with human cancer, including breast cancer. In general, the activation of tyrosine kinases (TKs) can be antagonized by the action of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). However, in some cases PTPs can potentiate the activation of TKs. In this study, we have investigated the functional role of PTPε in human breast cancer cell lines. We found the up-regulation and activation of receptor PTPε (RPTPε) in MCF-7 cells and MDA-MB-231 upon PMA, FGF, and serum stimulation, which depended on EGFR and ERK1/2 activity. Diminishing the expression of PTPε in human breast cancer cells abolished ERK1/2 and AKT activation, and decreased the viability and anchorage-independent growth of the cells. Conversely, stable MCF-7 cell lines expressing inducible high levels of ectopic PTPε displayed higher activation of ERK1/2 and anchorage-independent growth. Our results demonstrate that expression of PTPε is up-regulated and activated in breast cancer cell lines, through EGFR, by sustained activation of the ERK1/2 pathway, generating a positive feedback regulatory loop required for survival of human breast cancer cells.

Abstract
The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of signaling molecules play a crucial role in various cellular processes, including immune responses. To date, the global expression profile of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) in various immune cells has not been described. With the RefDIC (Reference Genomics Database of Immune Cells) database compiled by RIKEN (Rikagaku Kenkyusho), we examined the expression patterns of PTP-encoding genes in mice and identified between 57 and 64 PTP-encoding genes (depending on cutoff values) that were commonly expressed in immune cells. Cells of different lineages contained additional, unique PTP-encoding genes, which resulted in a total of 58 to 76 genes. Compared with cells from nonimmune tissues, immune cells exhibited enhanced expression of the genes encoding 8 PTP-encoding genes, including Ptprc, Ptpn6, and Ptpn22, but had barely detectable expression of 11 PTP-encoding genes, including Ptprd and Tns1. Each immune cell lineage had between 2 and 18 PTP-encoding genes expressed at relatively high or low extents relative to the average expression among immune cells; for example, Ptprj in B cells, Dusp3 in macrophages, Ptpro in dendritic cells, and Ptprg in mast cells. These PTPs potentially play important roles in each cell lineage, and our analysis provides insight for future functional studies.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are crucial components of cellular signal transduction pathways. Here, we report that red blood cells (RBCs) from mice lacking PTPepsilon (Ptpre(-/-)) exhibit (i) abnormal morphology; (ii) increased Ca(2+)-activated-K(+) channel activity, which was partially blocked by the Src family kinases (SFKs) inhibitor PP1; and (iii) market perturbation of the RBC membrane tyrosine (Tyr-) phosphoproteome, indicating an alteration of RBC signal transduction pathways. Using the signaling network computational analysis of the Tyr-phosphoproteomic data, we identified seven topological clusters. We studied cluster 1 containing Fyn, SFK, and Syk another tyrosine kinase. In Ptpre(-/-)mouse RBCs, the activity of Fyn was increased while Syk kinase activity was decreased compared to wild-type RBCs, validating the network computational analysis, and indicating a novel signaling pathway, which involves Fyn and Syk in regulation of red cell morphology.

Abstract
Asthma is a complex trait for which different strategies have been used to identify its environmental and genetic predisposing factors. Here, we describe a novel methodological approach to select candidate genes for asthma genetic association studies. In this regard, the Genes to Diseases (G2D) computational tool has been used in combination with a genome-wide scan performed in a sub-sample of the Saguenay−Lac-St-Jean (SLSJ) asthmatic familial collection (n = 609) to identify candidate genes located in two suggestive loci shown to be linked with asthma (6q26) and atopy (10q26.3), and presenting differential parent-of-origin effects. This approach combined gene selection based on the G2D data mining analysis of the bibliographic and protein public databases, or according to the genes already known to be associated with the same or a similar phenotype. Ten genes (LPA, NOX3, SNX9, VIL2, VIP, ADAM8, DOCK1, FANK1, GPR123 and PTPRE) were selected for a subsequent association study performed in a large SLSJ sample (n = 1167) of individuals tested for asthma and atopy related phenotypes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (n = 91) within the candidate genes were genotyped and analysed using a family-based association test. The results suggest a protective association to allergic asthma for PTPRE rs7081735 in the SLSJ sample (p = 0.000463; corrected p = 0.0478). This association has not been replicated in the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) cohort. Sequencing of the regions around rs7081735 revealed additional polymorphisms, but additional genotyping did not yield new associations. These results demonstrate that the G2D tool can be useful in the selection of candidate genes located in chromosomal regions linked to a complex trait.

Abstract
One mechanism of eukaryotic signaling is protein phosphorylation by protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Here we have identified the PTP Receptor-Type IV (PTPR4) family, including one form of PTPalpha and two forms of PTPepsilon (PTPepsilon M and PTPepsilon C) in flounder. The existence of PTPepsilon C has not been reported in non-mammalian animals. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR revealed independent expression patterns and levels of PTPalpha and the two forms of PTPepsilon in various tissues. The sequence of PTPepsilon C was identical to that of PTPepsilon M except for its 5'-terminal regions. Southern blot analysis proved that there existed only one PTPepsilon gene in flounder genome, indicating that the two isoforms of PTPepsilon might have been derived from alternative splicing of the single gene. Phylogenetic analysis of PTP domain D2 and part of D1 of PTPR4 showed that flounder was first joint with other teleost fish and then tetrapods, and also provided evidence that the gene duplication from the ancestor gene to PTPalpha and PTPepsilon occurred before the divergence of Gnathastomata and Agnatha. These results showed that the functional evolution of protein phosphorylation is promoted by not only genome duplication, but also elaborate regulation of gene expression.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are large cells derived from the monocyte-macrophage hematopoietic cell lineage. Their primary function is to degrade bone in various physiological contexts. Osteoclasts adhere to bone via podosomes, specialized adhesion structures whose structure and subcellular organization are affected by mechanical contact of the cell with bone matrix. Ample evidence indicates that reversible tyrosine phosphorylation of podosomal proteins plays a major role in determining the organization and dynamics of podosomes. Although roles of several tyrosine kinases are known in detail in this respect, little is known concerning the roles of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) in regulating osteoclast adhesion. Here we summarize available information concerning the known and hypothesized roles of the best-researched PTPs in osteoclasts - PTPRO, PTP epsilon, SHP-1, and PTP-PEST. Of these, PTPRO, PTP epsilon, and PTP-PEST appear to support osteoclast activity while SHP-1 inhibits it. Additional studies are required to provide full molecular details of the roles of these PTPs in regulating osteoclast adhesion, and to uncover additional PTPs that participate in this process.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are key mediators that link physiological cues with reversible changes in protein structure and function; nevertheless, significant details concerning their regulation in vivo remain unknown. We demonstrate that PTPepsilon associates with microtubules in vivo and is inhibited by them in a noncompetitive manner. Microtubule-associated proteins, which interact strongly with microtubules in vivo, significantly increase binding of PTPepsilon to tubulin in vitro and further reduce phosphatase activity. Conversely, disruption of microtubule structures in cells reduces their association with PTPepsilon, alters the subcellular localization of the phosphatase, and increases its specific activity. Activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) increases the PTPepsilon-microtubule association in a manner dependent upon EGFR-induced phosphorylation of PTPepsilon at Y638 and upon microtubule integrity. These events are transient and occur with rapid kinetics similar to EGFR autophosphorylation, suggesting that activation of the EGFR transiently down-regulates PTPepsilon activity near the receptor by promoting the PTPepsilon-microtubule association. Tubulin also inhibits the tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B but not receptor-type PTPmu or the unrelated alkaline phosphatase. The data suggest that reversible association with microtubules is a novel, physiologically regulated mechanism for regulation of tyrosine phosphatase activity in cells.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) epsilon and alpha are closely related and share several molecular functions, such as regulation of Src family kinases and voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels. Functional interrelationships between PTPepsilon and PTPalpha and the mechanisms by which they regulate K+ channels and Src were analyzed in vivo in mice lacking either or both PTPs. Lack of either PTP increases Kv channel activity and phosphorylation in Schwann cells, indicating these PTPs inhibit Kv current amplitude in vivo. Open probability and unitary conductance of Kv channels are unchanged, suggesting an effect on channel number or organization. PTPalpha inhibits Kv channels more strongly than PTPepsilon; this correlates with constitutive association of PTPalpha with Kv2.1, driven by membranal localization of PTPalpha. PTPalpha, but not PTPepsilon, activates Src in sciatic nerve extracts, suggesting Src deregulation is not responsible exclusively for the observed phenotypes and highlighting an unexpected difference between both PTPs. Developmentally, sciatic nerve myelination is reduced transiently in mice lacking either PTP and more so in mice lacking both PTPs, suggesting both PTPs support myelination but are not fully redundant. We conclude that PTPepsilon and PTPalpha differ significantly in their regulation of Kv channels and Src in the system examined and that similarity between PTPs does not necessarily result in full functional redundancy in vivo.

Abstract
Impaired insulin receptor (IR) signaling leads to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Several inhibitors of the IR tyrosine kinase activity have recently been described and associated with human insulin resistance. Among these negative regulators, protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are likely to play a pivotal role in IR signaling. Transgenic studies revealed that PTP1B and TCPTP are primary candidates but IR of these animals can be finally dephosphorylated, suggesting that other PTPs are also involved in the dephosphorylation of IR. In this study, we showed that receptor-type PTPepsilon (PTP epsilonM) dephosphorylated IR in rat primary hepatocytes and tyrosines 972, 1158, 1162 and 1163 were primary targets of PTP epsilonM. Wild type as well as substrate-trapping DA forms of PTPepsilonM suppressed phosphorylation of IR downstream enzymes such as Akt, extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3). It was also demonstrated that PTPepsilonM suppressed insulin-induced glycogen synthesis and inhibited insulin-induced suppression of phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) expression in primary hepatocytes. Furthermore, adenovirally introduced PTPepsilonM also exhibited inhibitory activity against suppression of PEPCK expression in mouse liver. These results suggest that PTPepsilonM is a negative regulator of IR signaling and involved in insulin-induced glucose metabolism mainly through direct dephosphorylation and inactivation of IR in hepatocytes and liver.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphorylation is a major regulator of bone metabolism. Tyrosine phosphatases participate in regulating phosphorylation, but roles of specific phosphatases in bone metabolism are largely unknown. We demonstrate that young (<12 weeks) female mice lacking tyrosine phosphatase epsilon (PTPepsilon) exhibit increased trabecular bone mass due to cell-specific defects in osteoclast function. These defects are manifested in vivo as reduced association of osteoclasts with bone and as reduced serum concentration of C-terminal collagen telopeptides, specific products of osteoclast-mediated bone degradation. Osteoclast-like cells are generated readily from PTPepsilon-deficient bone-marrow precursors. However, cultures of these cells contain few mature, polarized cells and perform poorly in bone resorption assays in vitro. Podosomes, structures by which osteoclasts adhere to matrix, are disorganized and tend to form large clusters in these cells, suggesting that lack of PTPepsilon adversely affects podosomal arrangement in the final stages of osteoclast polarization. The gender and age specificities of the bone phenotype suggest that it is modulated by hormonal status, despite normal serum levels of estrogen and progesterone in affected mice. Stimulation of bone resorption by RANKL and, surprisingly, Src activity and Pyk2 phosphorylation are normal in PTPepsilon-deficient osteoclasts, indicating that loss of PTPepsilon does not cause widespread disruption of these signaling pathways. These results establish PTPepsilon as a phosphatase required for optimal structure, subcellular organization, and function of osteoclasts in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
cyt-PTP epsilon is a naturally occurring nonreceptor form of the receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) epsilon. As such, cyt-PTP epsilon enables analysis of phosphatase regulation in the absence of extracellular domains, which participate in dimerization and inactivation of the receptor-type phosphatases receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha (RPTPalpha) and CD45. Using immunoprecipitation and gel filtration, we show that cyt-PTP epsilon forms dimers and higher-order associations in vivo, the first such demonstration among nonreceptor phosphatases. Although cyt-PTP epsilon readily dimerizes in the absence of exogenous stabilization, dimerization is increased by oxidative stress. Epidermal growth factor receptor stimulation can affect cyt-PTP epsilon dimerization and tyrosine phosphorylation in either direction, suggesting that cell surface receptors can relay extracellular signals to cyt-PTP epsilon, which lacks extracellular domains of its own. The inactive, membrane-distal (D2) phosphatase domain of cyt-PTP epsilon is a major contributor to intermolecular binding and strongly interacts in a homotypic manner; the presence of D2 and the interactions that it mediates inhibit cyt-PTP epsilon activity. Intermolecular binding is inhibited by the extreme C and N termini of D2. cyt-PTP epsilon lacking these regions constitutively dimerizes, and its activities in vitro towards para-nitrophenylphosphate and in vivo towards the Kv2.1 potassium channel are markedly reduced. We conclude that physiological signals can regulate dimerization and phosphorylation of cyt-PTP epsilon in the absence of direct interaction between the PTP and extracellular molecules. Furthermore, dimerization can be mediated by the D2 domain and does not strictly require the presence of PTP extracellular domains.

Abstract
Few tyrosine phosphatases support, rather than inhibit, survival of tumor cells. We present genetic evidence that receptor-type protein-tyrosine phosphatase (RPTP)-epsilon performs such a function, as cells from mammary epithelial tumors induced by activated Neu in mice genetically lacking RPTPepsilon appeared morphologically less transformed and exhibited reduced proliferation. We show that at the molecular level, RPTPepsilon activates Src, a known collaborator of Neu in mammary tumorigenesis. Lack of RPTPepsilon reduced Src activity and altered Src phosphorylation in tumor cells; RPTPepsilon dephosphorylated and activated Src; and Src bound a substrate-trapping mutant of RPTPepsilon. The altered morphology of tumor cells lacking RPTPepsilon was corrected by exogenous Src and exogenous RPTPepsilon or RPTPalpha; exogenous activated Src corrected also the growth rate phenotype. Together, these results suggest that the altered morphology of RPTPepsilon-deficient tumor cells is caused by reduced Src activity, caused, in turn, by lack of RPTPepsilon. Unexpectedly, the phenotype of RPTPepsilon-deficient tumor cells occurs despite expression of the related RPTPalpha, indicating that endogenous RPTPalpha does not compensate for the absence of RPTPepsilon in this case. We conclude that RPTPepsilon is a physiological activator of Src in Neu-induced mammary tumors and suggest that pharmacological inhibition of phosphatases that activate Src may be useful to augment direct pharmacological inhibition of Src.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide, and there has been a considerable effort in several laboratories to identify suitable targets for the design of drugs against the disease. To this end, the protein tyrosine phosphatases that attenuate insulin signaling by dephosphorylating the insulin receptor (IR) have been actively pursued. This is because inhibiting the phosphatases would be expected to prolong insulin signaling and thereby facilitate glucose uptake and, presumably, result in a lowering of blood glucose. Targeting the IR protein tyrosine phosphatase, therefore, has the potential to be a significant disease-modifying strategy. Several protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) have been implicated in the dephosphorylation of the IR. These phosphatases include PTPalpha, LAR, CD45, PTPepsilon, SHP2, and PTP1B. In most cases, there is evidence for and against the involvement of the phosphatases in insulin signaling. The most convincing data, however, support a critical role for PTP1B in insulin action. PTP1B knockout mice are not only insulin sensitive but also maintain euglycemia (in the fed state), with one-half the level of insulin observed in wild-type littermates. Interestingly, these mice are also resistant to diet-induced obesity when fed a high-fat diet. The insulin-sensitive phenotype of the PTP1B knockout mouse is reproduced when the phosphatase is also knocked down with an antisense oligonucleotide in obese mice. Thus PTP1B appears to be a very attractive candidate for the design of drugs for type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Abstract
This report describes the identification and characterization of a novel cytoplasmic isoform of human protein tyrosine phosphatase epsilon (PTPepsilon). The novel isoform, denoted cyt-PTPepsilonPD1, displays only the N-terminal catalytic, active phosphatase domain 1 (PD1) which is common in all known PTPepsilon isoforms. In addition, it contains a unique 132-residue long C-terminal end with no known motifs or homology to other characterized proteins. RNAse protection assay on isolated leucocyte subpopulations and selected cell lines demonstrated highest expression of cyt-PTPepsilonPD1 in monocytes. The mRNA-encoding cyt-PTPepsilonPD1 is detected as distinct transcript(s) by Northern blot analysis and is a result of alternative splicing. cyt-PTPepsilonPD1 shows similar cellular localization in transfected cells, both in the cytoplasm and nucleus, as has been previously described for cytoplasmic PTPepsilon isoform. Our previous data suggest that the expression of cytoplasmic PTPepsilon inhibits the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade through the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 pathway. A similar functional role is also presented here for cyt-PTPepsilonPD1, supporting our previous data suggesting that the catalytic first PD of PTPepsilon is responsible for this inhibition.
