Abstract
The distinct anatomic environment in which adipose tissues arise during organogenesis is a principle determinant of their adult expansion capacity. Metabolic disease results from a deficiency in hyperplastic adipose expansion within the dermal/subcutaneous depot; thus, understanding the embryonic origins of dermal adipose is imperative. Using single-cell transcriptomics throughout murine embryogenesis, we characterized cell populations, including Bcl11b + cells, that regulate the development of dermal white adipose tissue (dWAT). We discovered that BCL11b expression modulates the Wnt signaling microenvironment to enable adipogenic differentiation in the dermal compartment. Subcutaneous and visceral adipose arises from a distinct population of Nefl + cells during embryonic organogenesis, whereas Pi16 + /Dpp4 + fibroadipogenic progenitors support obesity-stimulated hypertrophic expansion in the adult. Together, these results highlight the unique regulatory pathways used by anatomically distinct adipose depots, with important implications for human metabolic disease.

Abstract
Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) have a unique morphological structure known as "fenestra" that plays a crucial role in liver substance exchange and homeostasis maintenance. In this study, we demonstrate that ADAMTS18 protease is primarily secreted by fetal liver endothelial cells. ADAMTS18 deficiency leads to enlarged fenestrae and increased porosity of LSECs, microthrombus formation in liver vessels, and an imbalance of liver oxidative stress. These defects worsen carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis and diethylnitrosamine (DEN)/high-fat-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in adult Adamts18-deficient mice. Mechanically, ADAMTS18 functions as a modifier of fibronectin (FN) to regulate the morphological acquisition of LSECs via the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) signaling pathways. Collectively, a mechanism is proposed for LSEC morphogenesis and liver homeostasis maintenance via ADAMTS18-FN-VEGFA niches.

Nie J, Dang S, Zhu R, Lu T, Zhang W. ADAMTS18 deficiency associates extracellular matrix dysfunction with a higher risk of HER2-positive mammary tumorigenesis and metastasis. Breast Cancer Res 2024; 26:19. [PMID: 38287441 PMCID: PMC10826190 DOI: 10.1186/s13058-024-01771-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 01/31/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer accounts for about 20% of all breast cancer cases and is correlated with a high relapse rate and poor prognosis. ADAMTS18 is proposed as an important functional tumor suppressor gene involved in multiple malignancies, including breast cancer. It functions as an extracellular matrix (ECM) modifier. However, it remains unclear whether ADAMTS18 affects mammary tumorigenesis and malignant progression through its essential ECM regulatory function. METHODS To elucidate the role of ADAMTS18 in HER2-positive mammary tumorigenesis and metastasis in vivo, we compared the incidence of mammary tumor and metastasis between Adamts18-knockout (MMTV)-Her2/ErbB2/Neu+ transgenic mice (i.e., Her2t/w/Adamts18-/-) and Adamts18-wildtype (MMTV)-Her2/ErbB2/Neu+ transgenic mice (i.e., Her2t/w/Adamts18+/+). The underlying mechanisms by which ADAMTS18 regulates HER2-positive tumorigenesis and metastasis were investigated by pathology, cell culture, Western blot and immunochemistry. RESULTS Adamts18 mRNA is mainly expressed in myoepithelial cells of the mammary duct. ADAMTS18 deficiency leads to a significantly increased incidence of mammary tumors and metastasis, as well as mammary hyperplasia in mice, over 30 months of observation. The proliferation, migration and invasion capacities of primary Her2t/w/Adamts18-/- mammary tumor cells are significantly higher than those of primary Her2t/w/Adamts18+/+ mammary tumor cells in vitro. At 30 months of age, the expression levels of laminin (LNα5), fibronectin (FN) and type I collagen (ColI) in the mammary glands of Her2t/w/Adamts18-/- mice are significantly increased, and the activities of integrin-mediated PI3K/AKT, ERK and JNK signaling pathways are enhanced. CONCLUSIONS ADAMTS18 deficiency leads to alterations in mammary ECM components (e.g., LNα5, FN, ColI), which are associated with a higher risk of HER2-positive mammary tumorigenesis and metastasis.

Abstract
ADAMTS18 was identified in 2002 as a member of the ADAMTS family of 19 secreted Zinc-dependent metalloproteinases. Prior to 2016, ADAMTS18 was known as a candidate gene associated with a wide range of pathologies, particularly various malignancies and eye disorders. However, functions and substrates of ADAMTS18 in normal conditions were unknown. Since 2016, with the development of Adamts18 knockout models, many studies had been conducted on the Adamts18 gene in vivo. These studies revealed that ADAMTS18 is essential for the morphology and organogenesis of several epithelial organs (e.g., lung, kidney, breast, salivary glands, and lacrimal glands), vascular and neuronal systems, adipose tissue, and reproductive tracts. In this review, we describe the current understanding of ADAMTS18 and its substrates and regulators. Limitations in translating new findings on ADAMTS18 to clinical practice are also discussed.

Abstract
Fibrosis in adipose tissue is a major driver of obesity-related metabolic dysregulation. It is characterized by an overaccumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) during unhealthy expansion of adipose tissue in response to over nutrition. In obese adipose-depots, hypoxia stimulates multiple pro-fibrotic signaling pathways in different cell populations, thereby inducing the overproduction of the ECM components, including collagens, noncollagenous proteins, and additional enzymatic components of ECM synthesis. As a consequence, local fibrosis develops. The result of fibrosis-induced mechanical stress not only triggers cell necrosis and inflammation locally in adipose tissue but also leads to system-wide lipotoxicity and insulin resistance. A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the obesity-induced fibrosis will help design therapeutic approaches to reduce or reverse the pathological changes associated with obese adipose tissue. Here, we aim to summarize the major advances in the field, which include newly identified fibrotic factors, cell populations that contribute to the fibrosis in adipose tissue, as well as novel mechanisms underlying the development of fibrosis. We further discuss the potential therapeutic strategies to target fibrosis in adipose tissue for the treatment of obesity-linked metabolic diseases and cancer. © 2023 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Metalloproteinases are a group of proteinases that plays a substantial role in extracellular matrix remodeling and its molecular signaling. Among these metalloproteinases, ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinases) and ADAM-TSs (ADAMs with thrombospondin domains) have emerged as highly efficient contributors mediating proteolytic processing of various signaling molecules. ADAMs are transmembrane metalloenzymes that facilitate the extracellular domain shedding of membrane-anchored proteins, cytokines, growth factors, ligands, and their receptors and therefore modulate their biological functions. ADAM-TSs are secretory, and soluble extracellular proteinases that mediate the cleavage of non-fibrillar extracellular matrix proteins. ADAMs and ADAM-TSs possess pro-domain, metalloproteinase, disintegrin, and cysteine-rich domains in common, but ADAM-TSs have characteristic thrombospondin motifs instead of the transmembrane domain. Most ADAMs and ADAM-TSs are activated by cleavage of pro-domain via pro-protein convertases at their N-terminus, hence directing them to various signaling pathways. In this article, we are discussing not only the structure and regulation of ADAMs and ADAM-TSs, but also the importance of these metalloproteinases in various human pathophysiological conditions like cardiovascular diseases, colorectal cancer, autoinflammatory diseases (sepsis/rheumatoid arthritis), Alzheimer's disease, proliferative retinopathies, and infectious diseases. Therefore, based on the emerging role of ADAMs and ADAM-TSs in various human pathologies, as summarized in this review, these metalloproteases can be considered as critical therapeutic targets and diagnostic biomarkers.

Abstract
Normal pregnancy (NP) involves intricate processes starting with egg fertilization, proceeding to embryo implantation, placentation and gestation, and culminating in parturition. These pregnancy-related processes require marked uteroplacental and vascular remodeling by proteolytic enzymes and metalloproteinases. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) and ADAM with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) are members of the zinc-dependent family of proteinases with highly conserved protein structure and sequence homology, which include a pro-domain, and a metalloproteinase, disintegrin and cysteine-rich domain. In NP, ADAMs and ADAMTS regulate sperm-egg fusion, embryo implantation, trophoblast invasion, placental angiogenesis and spiral arteries remodeling through their ectodomain proteolysis of cell surface cytokines, cadherins and growth factors as well as their adhesion with integrins and cell-cell junction proteins. Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious complication of pregnancy characterized by new-onset hypertension (HTN) in pregnancy (HTN-Preg) at or after 20 weeks of gestation, with or without proteinuria. Insufficient trophoblast invasion of the uterine wall, inadequate expansive remodeling of the spiral arteries, reduced uteroplacental perfusion pressure, and placental ischemia/hypoxia are major initiating events in the pathogenesis of PE. Placental ischemia/hypoxia increase the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which lead to aberrant expression/activity of certain ADAMs and ADAMTS. In PE, abnormal expression/activity of specific ADAMs and ADAMTS that function as proteolytic sheddases could alter proangiogenic and growth factors, and promote the release of antiangiogenic factors and inflammatory cytokines into the placenta and maternal circulation leading to generalized inflammation, endothelial cell injury and HTN-Preg, renal injury and proteinuria, and further decreases in uteroplacental blood flow, exaggeration of placental ischemia, and consequently fetal growth restriction. Identifying the role of ADAMs and ADAMTS in NP and PE has led to a better understanding of the underlying molecular and vascular pathways, and advanced the potential for novel biomarkers for prediction and early detection, and new approaches for the management of PE.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a principal cause of aches and disability worldwide. It is characterized by the inflammation of the bone leading to degeneration and loss of cartilage function. Factors, including diet, age, and obesity, impact and/or lead to osteoarthritis. In the past few years, OA has received considerable scholarly attention owing to its increasing prevalence, resulting in a cumbersome burden. At present, most of the interventions only relieve short-term symptoms, and some treatments and drugs can aggravate the disease in the long run. There is a pressing need to address the safety problems due to osteoarthritis. A disintegrin-like and metalloprotease domain with thrombospondin type 1 repeats (ADAMTS) metalloproteinase is a kind of secretory zinc endopeptidase, comprising 19 kinds of zinc endopeptidases. ADAMTS has been implicated in several human diseases, including OA. For example, aggrecanases, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5, participate in the cleavage of aggrecan in the extracellular matrix (ECM); ADAMTS-7 and ADAMTS-12 participate in the fission of Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP) into COMP lyase, and ADAMTS-2, ADAMTS-3, and ADAMTS-14 promote the formation of collagen fibers. In this article, we principally review the role of ADAMTS metalloproteinases in osteoarthritis. From three different dimensions, we explain how ADAMTS participates in all the following aspects of osteoarthritis: ECM, cartilage degeneration, and synovial inflammation. Thus, ADAMTS may be a potential therapeutic target in osteoarthritis, and this article may render a theoretical basis for the study of new therapeutic methods for osteoarthritis.

Abstract
A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase (ADAM) and A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs (ADAMTS) are two closely related families of proteolytic enzymes. ADAMs are largely membrane-bound enzymes that act as molecular scissors or sheddases of membrane-bound proteins, growth factors, cytokines, receptors and ligands, whereas ADAMTS are mainly secreted enzymes. ADAMs have a pro-domain, and a metalloproteinase, disintegrin, cysteine-rich and transmembrane domain. Similarly, ADAMTS family members have a pro-domain, and a metalloproteinase, disintegrin, and cysteine-rich domain, but instead of a transmembrane domain they have thrombospondin motifs. Most ADAMs and ADAMTS are activated by pro-protein convertases, and can be regulated by G-protein coupled receptor agonists, Ca2+ ionophores and protein kinase C. Activated ADAMs and ADAMTS participate in numerous vascular processes including angiogenesis, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration, vascular cell apoptosis, cell survival, tissue repair, and wound healing. ADAMs and ADAMTS also play a role in vascular malfunction and cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, and vascular aneurysm. Decreased ADAMTS13 is involved in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and microangiopathies. The activity of ADAMs and ADAMTS can be regulated by endogenous tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases and other synthetic small molecule inhibitors. ADAMs and ADAMTS can be used as diagnostic biomarkers and molecular targets in cardiovascular disease, and modulators of ADAMs and ADAMTS activity may provide potential new approaches for the management of cardiovascular disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity is a major public health problem. Understanding which genes contribute to obesity may better predict individual risk and allow development of new therapies. Because obesity of a mouse gene knockout (KO) line predicts an association of the orthologous human gene with obesity, we reviewed data from the Lexicon Genome5000TM high throughput phenotypic screen (HTS) of mouse gene KOs to identify KO lines with high body fat. MATERIALS AND METHODS KO lines were generated using homologous recombination or gene trapping technologies. HTS body composition analyses were performed on adult wild-type and homozygous KO littermate mice from 3758 druggable mouse genes having a human ortholog. Body composition was measured by either DXA or QMR on chow-fed cohorts from all 3758 KO lines and was measured by QMR on independent high fat diet-fed cohorts from 2488 of these KO lines. Where possible, comparisons were made to HTS data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC). RESULTS Body fat data are presented for 75 KO lines. Of 46 KO lines where independent external published and/or IMPC KO lines are reported as obese, 43 had increased body fat. For the remaining 29 novel high body fat KO lines, Ksr2 and G2e3 are supported by data from additional independent KO cohorts, 6 (Asnsd1, Srpk2, Dpp8, Cxxc4, Tenm3 and Kiss1) are supported by data from additional internal cohorts, and the remaining 21 including Tle4, Ak5, Ntm, Tusc3, Ankk1, Mfap3l, Prok2 and Prokr2 were studied with HTS cohorts only. CONCLUSION These data support the finding of high body fat in 43 independent external published and/or IMPC KO lines. A novel obese phenotype was identified in 29 additional KO lines, with 27 still lacking the external confirmation now provided for Ksr2 and G2e3 KO mice. Undoubtedly, many mammalian obesity genes remain to be identified and characterized.

Lin X, Wu T, Wang L, Dang S, Zhang W. ADAMTS18 deficiency leads to preputial gland hypoplasia and fibrosis in male mice. Reprod Biol 2021; 21:100542. [PMID: 34388417 DOI: 10.1016/j.repbio.2021.100542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
ADAMTSs (A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) are a family of 19 secreted zinc metalloproteinases that play a major role in the assembly and degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) during development, morphogenesis, tissue repair, and remodeling. ADAMTS18 is a poorly characterized member of the ADAMTS family. Previously, ADAMTS18 was found to participate in the development of female reproductive tract in mice. However, whether ADAMTS18 also plays a role in the development of male reproductive system remains unclear. In this study, Adamts18 mRNA was found to be highly expressed in the basal cells of the developing preputial gland. Male Adamts18 knockout (Adamts18-/-) mice exhibit abnormal preputial gland morphogenesis, including reduced size and sharp outline. Histological analyses of preputial gland from 2-week-old male Adamts18-/- mice showed significant atrophy of the whole gland. Preputial glands from 7 months and older Adamts18-/- mice appeared macroscopic swelling on their surface. Histologically, preputial gland swelling is characterized by tissue fibrosis and thicker keratinized squamous cell layer. Preputial gland lesions in age-matched male Adamts18+/+ mice were barely detected. ADAMTS18 deficiency does not lead to significant changes in morphogenesis of prostate and testis in male mice. These results indicate that ADAMTS18 is required for normal morphogenesis and homeostasis of the preputial gland in male mice.

Abstract
The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs) enzymes are secreted metalloproteinases with major roles in development, morphogenesis, and tissue repair via the assembly and degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM). In this study, we investigated the role of ADAMTS18 in the development of the reproductive tract in female mice by phenotyping Adamts18 knockout (Adamts18-/-) mice. The results showed that Adamst18 mRNAs were abundantly expressed in vaginal epithelial cells and muscularis cells of the developing vagina. At the time of vaginal opening (5 weeks of age), about 41 % of Adamts18-/- females showed enlarged protrusions in the upper and middle parts of the vagina, reduced vaginal length, and simultaneously exhibited vaginal atresia. 6% Adamts18-/- females exhibited vaginal septum. Histological analyses revealed that the paired Mullerian ducts in ∼33 % female Adamts18-/- embryos failed to fuse at embryonic day 15.5 (E15.5) resulting in the formation of two vaginal cavities. Results of TUNEL assay and immunohistochemistry for caspase-3 showed that the number of apoptotic cells in the terminal portion of the vagina of 5-week-old Adamts18-/- females with vaginal atresia was significantly decreased. Adamts18-/- females also showed a significant decrease in serum estradiol E2 compared to age-matched Adamts18+/+ females. Results of qRT-PCR showed that the expression level of the anti-apoptosis gene Bcl-2 was significantly increased and that of the apoptosis-related gene Epha1 was decreased in the vagina of 5-week-old Adamts18-/- females. These results suggest that ADAMTS18 regulates vaginal opening through influencing the fusion of Mullerian ducts and apoptosis of vaginal cells in mice.

Abstract
Significance: The vascular extracellular matrix (ECM) not only provides mechanical stability but also manipulates vascular cell behaviors, which are crucial for vascular function and homeostasis. ECM remodeling, which alters vascular wall mechanical properties and exposes vascular cells to bioactive molecules, is involved in the development and progression of hypertension. Recent Advances: This brief review summarized the dynamic changes in ECM components and their modification and degradation during hypertension and after antihypertensive treatment. We also discussed how alterations in the ECM amount, assembly, mechanical properties, and degradation fragment generation provide input into the pathological process of hypertension. Critical Issues: Although the relevance between ECM remodeling and hypertension has been recognized, the underlying mechanism by which ECM remodeling initiates the development of hypertension remains unclear. Therefore, the modulation of ECM remodeling on arterial stiffness and hypertension in genetically modified rodent models is summarized in this review. The circulating biomarkers based on ECM metabolism and therapeutic strategies targeting ECM disorders in hypertension are also introduced. Future Directions: Further research will provide more comprehensive understanding of ECM remodeling in hypertension by the application of matridomic and degradomic approaches. The better understanding of mechanisms underlying vascular ECM remodeling may provide novel potential therapeutic strategies for preventing and treating hypertension. Antioxid.

Mechanistic dissection of diabetic retinopathy using the protein-metabolite interactome. J Diabetes Metab Disord 2021; 19:829-848. [PMID: 33520806 DOI: 10.1007/s40200-020-00570-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2020] [Revised: 05/20/2020] [Accepted: 06/10/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Purpose The current study aims to determine the molecular mechanisms of diabetic retinopathy (DR) using the protein-protein interactome and metabolome map. We examined the protein network of novel biomarkers of DR for direct (physical) and indirect (functional) interactions using clinical target proteins in different models. Methods We used proteomic tools including 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry analysis, and database search for biomarker identification using in vivo murine and human model of diabetic retinopathy and in vitro model of oxidative stress. For the protein interactome and metabolome mapping, various bioinformatic tools that include STRING and OmicsNet were used. Results We uncovered new diabetic biomarkers including prohibitin (PHB), dynamin 1, microtubule-actin crosslinking factor 1, Toll-like receptor (TLR 7), complement activation, as well as hypothetical proteins that include a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM18), vimentin III, and calcium-binding C2 domain-containing phospholipid-binding switch (CAC2PBS) using a proteomic approach. Proteome networks of protein interactions with diabetic biomarkers were established using known DR-related proteome data. DR metabolites were interconnected to establish the metabolome map. Our results showed that mitochondrial protein interactions were changed during hyperglycemic conditions in the streptozotocin-treated murine model and diabetic human tissue. Conclusions Our interactome mapping suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction could be tightly linked to various phases of DR pathogenesis including altered visual cycle, cytoskeletal remodeling, altered lipid concentration, inflammation, PHB depletion, tubulin phosphorylation, and altered energy metabolism. The protein-metabolite interactions in the current network demonstrate the etiology of retinal degeneration and suggest the potential therapeutic approach to treat DR.

Abstract
Morphological characteristics and source of adipose tissue as well as adipokines may increase cardiometabolic risk. This study aimed to explore whether adipose tissue characteristics may impact metabolic and atherogenic risks. Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue (SAT), Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT) and peripheral blood were obtained from obese patients submitted to bariatric surgery. Adipose tissue (morphometry), plasma adiponectin, TNF-α, resistin (multiplexing) and biochemical chemistry were analyzed; as well as endothelial dysfunction (Flow Mediated Dilation, FMD) and atherogenesis (Carotid Intima Media Thickness, CIMT). Subgroups divided by adipocyte size and source were compared; as well as correlation and multivariate analysis. Sixty patients 36.6% males, aged 44 years-old, BMI 46.7 kg/m2 were included. SAT's adipocytes showed a lower range of size expandability than VAT's adipocytes. Independent from their source, larger adipocytes were associated with higher glucose, lower adiponectin and higher CIMT. Particularly, larger adipocytes from SAT were associated with higher blood pressure, lower insulin and HDL-cholesterol; and showed positive correlation with glucose, HbA1c, systolic/diastolic values, and negatively correlated with insulin and adiponectin. VAT's larger adipocytes particularly associated with lower resistin and lower FMD values. Gender and Diabetes Mellitus significantly impacted the relation of adipocyte size/source with the metabolic and atherogenic risk. Multivariable analysis suggested hypertension-resistin-HbA1c interactions associated with SAT's larger adipocytes; whereas potential insulin-adiponectin associations were observed for VAT's larger adipocytes. Adipocyte morphology and source are differentially related with cardiometabolic and atherogenic risk in population with obesity, which are potentially affected by gender and Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract
ADAMTSs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) are secreted metalloproteinases that play a major role in the assembly and degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). In this study, we show that ADAMTS18, produced by the epithelial cells of distal airways and mesenchymal cells in lung apex at early embryonic stages, serves as a morphogen in lung development. ADAMTS18 deficiency leads to reduced number and length of bronchi, tipped lung apexes, and dilated alveoli. These developmental defects worsen lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury and bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in adult Adamts18-deficient mice. ADAMTS18 deficiency also causes increased levels of fibrillin1 and fibrillin2, bronchial microfibril accumulation, decreased focal adhesion kinase signaling, and disruption of F-actin organization. Our findings indicate that ECM homeostasis mediated by ADAMTS18 is pivotal in airway branching morphogenesis.

Abstract
Estrogens and progesterone control breast development and carcinogenesis via their cognate receptors expressed in a subset of luminal cells in the mammary epithelium. How they control the extracellular matrix, important to breast physiology and tumorigenesis, remains unclear. Here we report that both hormones induce the secreted protease Adamts18 in myoepithelial cells by controlling Wnt4 expression with consequent paracrine canonical Wnt signaling activation. Adamts18 is required for stem cell activation, has multiple binding partners in the basement membrane and interacts genetically with the basal membrane-specific proteoglycan, Col18a1, pointing to the basement membrane as part of the stem cell niche. In vitro, ADAMTS18 cleaves fibronectin; in vivo, Adamts18 deletion causes increased collagen deposition during puberty, which results in impaired Hippo signaling and reduced Fgfr2 expression both of which control stem cell function. Thus, Adamts18 links luminal hormone receptor signaling to basement membrane remodeling and stem cell activation. How hormonal signaling in the mammary epithelium controls the surrounding extracellular matrix is unclear. Here, the authors show that a secreted protease, Adamts18, induced by upstream estrogen-progesterone activated Wnt4 in myoepithelial cells, remodels the basement membrane and contributes to mammary epithelial stemness.

Adamts18 deficiency in zebrafish embryo causes defective trunk angiogenesis and caudal vein plexus formation. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2019; 521:907-913. [PMID: 31711643 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2019.10.202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2019] [Accepted: 10/31/2019] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin type I motifs) enzymes play an important role in various morphogenesis processes. To determine the functions of Adamts18 in the early stages of organogenesis, we created Adamts18 deficient zebrafish using morpholino antisense oligonucleotides (MO) to generate exon 3 skipped adamts18 mRNA transcripts. Results showed that Adamts18 deficiency in zebrafish embryos caused developmental defects, including expanded brain ventricle and hindbrain edema, eye defects, and accumulation of blood in the caudal vein. Adamts18 deficiency also led to impaired trunk angiogenesis and formation of the caudal vein plexus (CVP). Consequently, Adamts18 deficient zebrafish embryos exhibited incomplete formation of intersegment vessels (ISVs), disruption of the honeycomb structure of CVP, and reduced CVP area and loop number. Furthermore, Adamts18 deficiency resulted in impaired blood circulation in major trunk, caudal vein (CV), and common cardinal vein (CCV). These aberrant vascular phenotypes in mutant zebrafish embryos were shown to be associated with a decreased expression of multiple angiogenesis-related signaling genes, including slit/robo, dll4/Notch, cox2, and fgfr. These findings indicate the critical role of Adamts18 in the early stages of vascular network development.

Abstract
A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase (ADAM) is a family of proteolytic enzymes that possess sheddase function and regulate shedding of membrane-bound proteins, growth factors, cytokines, ligands and receptors. Typically, ADAMs have a pro-domain, and a metalloproteinase, disintegrin, cysteine-rich and a characteristic transmembrane domain. Most ADAMs are activated by proprotein convertases, but can also be regulated by G-protein coupled receptor agonists, Ca2+ ionophores and protein kinase C activators. A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs (ADAMTS) is a family of secreted enzymes closely related to ADAMs. Like ADAMs, ADAMTS members have a pro-domain, and a metalloproteinase, disintegrin, and cysteine-rich domain, but they lack a transmembrane domain and instead have characteristic thrombospondin motifs. Activated ADAMs perform several functions and participate in multiple cardiovascular processes including vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration, angiogenesis, vascular cell apoptosis, cell survival, tissue repair, and wound healing. ADAMs may also be involved in pathological conditions and cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, aneurysm, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction and heart failure. Like ADAMs, ADAMTS have a wide-spectrum role in vascular biology and cardiovascular pathophysiology. ADAMs and ADAMTS activity is naturally controlled by endogenous inhibitors such as tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), and their activity can also be suppressed by synthetic small molecule inhibitors. ADAMs and ADAMTS can serve as important diagnostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for cardiovascular disorders. Natural and synthetic inhibitors of ADAMs and ADAMTS could be potential therapeutic tools for the management of cardiovascular diseases.

ADAMTS18 Deficiency Affects Neuronal Morphogenesis and Reduces the Levels of Depression-like Behaviors in Mice. Neuroscience 2018; 399:53-64. [PMID: 30579834 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2018.12.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2018] [Revised: 11/18/2018] [Accepted: 12/16/2018] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
The ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) enzymes are secreted, multi-domain matrix-associated zinc metalloendopeptidases that modify extracellular matrix components and play crucial roles in development and numerous diseases. ADAMTS18 is a member of the ADAMTS family, and genome-wide association studies made an initial association of ADAMTS18 with white matter integrity in healthy people of 72-74 years old. However, the potential roles of ADAMTS18 in central nervous system remain unclear. In this study, we showed that Adamts18 mRNA is highly abundant in developing brains, especially in the cerebellum granular cell layer and the hippocampus dentate gyrus (DG) granular cell layer. Adamts18 knockout (KO) mice displayed higher dendritic branching complexity and spine density on hippocampal DG granular cells. Behavioral tests showed that Adamts18 KO mice had reduced levels of depression-like behaviors compared to their wild-type (WT) littermates. The increased neurite formation could be attributed in part to reduced phosphorylation levels of the collapsin response mediator protein-2 (CRMP2) due to activation of the laminin/PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β signaling pathway. Our findings revealed a critical role of ADAMTS18 in neuronal morphogenesis and emotional control in mice.
