Proteome Sci 2023; 21:14. [PMID: 37740172 PMCID: PMC10517517 DOI: 10.1186/s12953-023-00216-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous work shows that increased matrix stiffness not only alters malignant characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, but also attenuates metformin efficacy in treating HCC cells. Here, we identified differential membrane proteins related to matrix stiffness-mediated metformin resistance for better understand therapeutic resistance of metformin in HCC. METHODS Differential membrane proteins in HCC cells grown on different stiffness substrates before and after metformin intervention were screened and identified using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) labeling coupled with the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), then bioinformatic analysis were applied to determine candidate membrane protein and their possible signaling pathway. RESULTS A total of 5159 proteins were identified and 354 differential membrane proteins and membrane associated proteins, which might be associated with matrix stiffness-mediated metformin resistance were discovered. Then 94 candidate membrane proteins including 21 up-regulated protein molecules and 73 down-regulated protein molecules were further obtained. Some of them such as Annexin A2 (ANXA2), Filamin-A (FLNA), Moesin (MSN), Myosin-9 (MYH9), Elongation factor 2 (eEF2), and Tax1 binding Protein 3 (TAX1BP3) were selected for further validation. Their expressions were all downregulated in HCC cells grown on different stiffness substrates after metformin intervention. More importantly, the degree of decrease was obviously weakened on the higher stiffness substrate compared with that on the lower stiffness substrate, indicating that these candidate membrane proteins might contribute to matrix stiffness-mediated metformin resistance in HCC. CONCLUSIONS There was an obvious change in membrane proteins in matrix stiffness-mediated metformin resistance in HCC cells. Six candidate membrane proteins may reflect the response of HCC cells under high stiffness stimulation to metformin intervention, which deserve to be investigated in the future.

Abstract
Cellular functions, such as differentiation and migration, are regulated by the extracellular microenvironment, including the extracellular matrix (ECM). Cells adhere to ECM through focal adhesions (FAs) and sense the surrounding microenvironments. Although FA proteins have been actively investigated, little is known about the lipids in the plasma membrane at FAs. In this study, we examine the lipid composition at FAs with imaging and biochemical approaches. Using the cholesterol-specific probe D4 with total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy and super-resolution microscopy, we show an enrichment of cholesterol at FAs simultaneously with FA assembly. Furthermore, we establish a method to isolate the lipid from FA-rich fractions, and biochemical quantification of the lipids reveals that there is a higher content of cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine with saturated fatty acid chains in the lipids of the FA-rich fraction than in either the plasma membrane fraction or the whole-cell membrane. These results demonstrate that plasma membrane at FAs has a locally distinct lipid composition compared to the bulk plasma membrane.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a subpopulation of cancer cells with stem cell properties that sustain cancers, which may be responsible for cancer metastasis or recurrence. Lipid rafts are cholesterol- and sphingolipid-enriched microdomains in the plasma membrane that mediate various intracellular signaling. The occurrence and progression of cancer are closely related to lipid rafts. Emerging evidence indicates that lipid raft levels are significantly enriched in CSCs compared to cancer cells and that most CSC markers such as CD24, CD44, and CD133 are located in lipid rafts. Furthermore, lipid rafts play an essential role in CSCs, specifically in CSC self-renewal, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, drug resistance, and CSC niche. Therefore, lipid rafts are critical regulatory platforms for CSCs and promising therapeutic targets for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The composition and organization of the plasma membrane play important functional and regulatory roles in integrin signaling, which direct many physiological and pathological processes, such as development, wound healing, immunity, thrombosis, and cancer metastasis. Membranes are comprised of regions that are thick or thin owing to spontaneous partitioning of long-chain saturated lipids from short-chain polyunsaturated lipids into domains defined as ordered and liquid-disorder domains, respectively. Liquid-ordered domains are typically 100 nm in diameter and sometimes referred to as lipid rafts. We posit that integrin β senses membrane thickness and that mechanical force on the membrane regulates integrin activation through membrane thinning. This review examines what we know about the nature and mechanism of the interaction of integrins with the plasma membrane and its effects on regulating integrins and its binding partners.

Abstract
Psd1 is a pea plant defensin which can be actively expressed in Pichia pastoris and shows broad antifungal activity. This activity is dependent on fungal membrane glucosylceramide (GlcCer), which is also important for its internalization, nuclear localization, and endoreduplication. Certain cancer cells present a lipid metabolism imbalance resulting in the overexpression of GlcCer in their membrane. In this work, in vitroassays using B16F10 cells showed that labeled fluorescein isothiocyanate FITC-Psd1 internalized into live cultured cells and targeted the nucleus, which underwent fragmentation, exhibiting approximately 60% of cells in the sub-G0/G1 stage. This phenomenon was dependent on GlcCer, and the participation of cyclin-F was suggested. In a murine lung metastatic melanoma model, intravenous injection of Psd1 together with B16F10 cells drastically reduced the number of nodules at concentrations above 0.5 mg/kg. Additionally, the administration of 1 mg/kg Psd1 decreased the number of lung inflammatory cells to near zero without weight loss, unlike animals that received melanoma cells only. It is worth noting that 1 mg/kg Psd1 alone did not provoke inflammation in lung tissue or weight or vital signal losses over 21 days, inferring no whole animal cytotoxicity. These results suggest that Psd1 could be a promising prototype for human lung anti-metastatic melanoma therapy.

Abstract
In cancer patients, the prevalence of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) is correlated with the degree of malignancy. In the present study, we investigated the role of circulating M-MDSCs in premetastatic niche formation using a mouse syngeneic tumor model and found that there was an increased frequency of M-MDSCs in the peripheral blood of tumor-bearing mice. M-MDSCs tracking and lung tissue histological analyses revealed that the malignant conditions promote the residence of circulating M-MDSCs and increased tumor cell arrest in the lungs. We further found that MMP-9 expression was increased in the circulating M-MDSCs and the administration of an MMP-9 inhibitor suppressed M-MDSCs transplantation-induced tumor cell arrest in the lung. Therefore, our findings suggest that the expansion of circulating M-MDSCs during tumor progression contributes to premetastatic niche formation by increasing MMP-9 expression.

Abstract
Biological membranes display a staggering complexity of lipids and proteins orchestrating cellular functions. Superior analytical tools coupled with numerous functional cellular screens have enabled us to query their role in cellular signalling, trafficking, guiding protein structure and function-all of which rely on the dynamic membrane lipid properties indispensable for proper cellular functions. Alteration of these has led to emergence of various pathological conditions, thus opening an area of lipid-centric therapeutic approaches. This perspective is a short summary of the dynamic properties of membranes essential for proper cellular functions, dictating both protein and lipid functions, and mis-regulated in diseases. Towards the end, we focus on some challenges lying ahead and potential means to tackle the same, mainly underscored by multi-disciplinary approaches.

Abstract
Inherent radioresistance plays a crucial role in the failure of radiotherapy. Using the inherent radioresistant (Hep-2max) and radiosensitive (Hep-2min) cell lines established from the parental cell line Hep-2, we previously reported that phosphoprotein associated with glycosphingolipid-enriched microdomains 1(PAG1) overexpression in laryngeal carcinoma cells was correlated with inherent radioresistant phenotypes. However, the underlying mechanisms of this effect remain unknown. In the present study, we performed a proteomic screen to investigate the interactome of PAG1 in Hep-2max cells resulting in the identification of several interaction partners. Bioinformatic analysis and immunofluorescence experiments indicated the integrin β1 to be a crucial interaction partner of PAG1. PAG1 was also highly expressed in laryngeal carcinoma radioresistant tissues and showed co-localization with integrin β1. In addition, we demonstrated that integrin β1's binding to PAG1 could be interrupted by MβCD, an inhibitor of lipid rafts formation. Moreover, knockdown of integrin β1 by RNA interference sensitized radioresistant cells to irradiation. Importantly, we identified 2 potential interaction sites (Pro216-Arg232 and Asn356-Gly377) in the cytoplasmic domain of PAG1 using high throughput peptide arrays. Taken together, these results suggest that the binding of PAG1 to integrin β1 in lipid rafts is essential for inherent radioresistance of human laryngeal carcinoma.

Abstract
Lipid rafts, distinct liquid-ordered plasma membrane microdomains, have been shown to regulate tumor cell migration by internalizing and recycling cell-surface proteins. The present study reports that lipid rafts are a prerequisite for lamellipodia formation, which is the first step in the processes of tumor cell migration. The results from the wound-healing assay and immunostaining indicated that lipid rafts were asymmetrically distributed to the leading edge of migrating melanoma A375 cells during lamellipodia formation. When the integrity of lipids rafts was disrupted, lamellipodia formation was inhibited. The investigation of possible molecular mechanisms indicated that lipid rafts recruited β1 and β3 integrins, two important adhesion proteins for cell migration, to the lamellipodia. However, the different distribution characteristics of β1 and β3 integrins implied disparate functions in lamellipodia formation. Further immunostaining experiments showed that the actin cytoskeleton was responsible for lipid raft-mediated β1 and β3 integrin distribution in the lamellipodia. Together, these findings provide novel insights into the regulation of lipid rafts in lamellipodia formation, and suggest that lipid rafts may be novel and attractive targets for cancer therapy.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Membrane rafts (MRs)-redox signalling pathway is activated in response to transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) stimulation in renal tubular cells. This pathway contributes to TGF-1β-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in renal tubular cells. The the MRs-redox signalling pathway is activated in renal tubular cells isolated from angiotensin II (AngII)-induced hypertensive rats. Inhibition of this pathway attenuated renal inflammation and fibrosis in AngII-induced hypertension. ABSTRACT The membrane rafts (MRs)-redox pathway is characterized by NADPH oxidase subunit clustering and activation through lysosome fusion, V-type proton ATPase subunit E2 (encoded by the Atp6v1e2 gene) translocation and sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 (SMPD1, encoded by the SMPD1 gene) activation. In the present study, we hypothesized that the MRs-redox-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in renal inflammation and fibrosis by promoting renal tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Results show that transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) acutely induced MR formation and ROS production in NRK-52E cells, a rat renal tubular cell line. In addition, transfection of Atp6v1e2 small hairpin RNAs (shRNA) and SMPD1 shRNA attenuated TGF-β1-induced changes in EMT markers, including E-cadherin, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and fibroblast-specific protein-1 (FSP-1) in NRK-52E cells. Moreover, Erk1/2 activation may be a downstream regulator of the MRs-redox-derived ROS, because both shRNAs significantly inhibited TGF-β1-induced Erk1/2 phosphorylation. Further in vivo study shows that the renal tubular the MRs-redox signalling pathway was activated in angiotensin II (AngII)-induced hypertension, as indicated by the increased NADPH oxidase subunit Nox4 fraction in the MR domain, SMPD1 activation and increased ROS content in isolated renal tubular cells. Finally, renal transfection of Atp6v1e2 shRNA and SMPD1 shRNA significantly prevented renal fibrosis and inflammation, as indicated by the decrease of α-SMA, fibronectin, collagen I, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in kidneys from AngII-infused rats. It was concluded that the the MRs-redox signalling pathway is involved in TGF-β1-induced renal tubular EMT and renal inflammation/fibrosis in AngII-induced hypertension.

Abstract
Background Increased expression of integrin β1 has been reported to correlate with progression and therapy resistance in many types of cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of integrin β1 on the invasion and radioresistance of laryngeal cancer cells. Methods The expression of integrin β1 in the tumor specimens of laryngeal cancer patients was assessed by immunohistochemical assays. The invasion ability of laryngeal cancer cells was detected by transwell and wound healing assays. The radiosensitivity of laryngeal cancer cells was evaluated by flow cytometry and colony formation assays. Results High expression of integrin β1 was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis, TNM stage and poor clinical outcomes (all p < 0.05). Knockdown of integrin β1 in laryngeal cancer cells inhibited invasion and increased radiosensitivity. Mechanistically, these effects were caused by suppression of the downstream focal adhesion kinase (FAK)/cortactin pathway. In addition, integrin β1 could interact with CD147 and the antibody blockade of CD147 led to the deactivation of FAK/cortactin signaling. Further studies revealed that the interaction between integrin β1 and CD147 relied on intact lipid rafts. Disruption of lipid rafts by methyl beta cyclodextrin in laryngeal cancer cells was able to reverse integrin β1-mediated malignant phenotypes. Conclusions Integrin β1 has potential as a therapeutic target in prevention and treatment of laryngeal cancer.

Mechanotransduction of matrix stiffness in regulation of focal adhesion size and number: reciprocal regulation of caveolin-1 and β1 integrin. Sci Rep 2017; 7:15008. [PMID: 29118431 PMCID: PMC5678369 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-14932-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 99] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2017] [Accepted: 10/18/2017] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Focal adhesion (FA) assembly, mediated by integrin activation, responds to matrix stiffness; however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we showed that β1 integrin and caveolin-1 (Cav1) levels were decreased with declining matrix stiffness. Soft matrix selectively downregulated β1 integrin by endocytosis and subsequent lysosomal degradation. Disruption of lipid rafts with methyl-β-cyclodextrin or nystatin, or knockdown of Cav1 by siRNA decreased cell spreading, FA assembly, and β1 integrin protein levels in cells cultured on stiff matrix. Overexpression of Cav1, particularly the phospho-mimetic mutant Cav1-Y14D, averted soft matrix-induced decreases in β1 integrin protein levels, cell spreading, and FA assembly in NMuMG cells. Interestingly, overexpression of an auto-clustering β1 integrin hindered soft matrix-induced reduction of Cav1 and cell spreading, which suggests a reciprocal regulation between β1 integrin and Cav1. Finally, co-expression of this auto-clustering β1 integrin and Cav1-Y14D synergistically enhanced cell spreading, and FA assembly in HEK293T cells cultured on either stiff ( > G Pa) or soft (0.2 kPa) matrices. Collectively, these results suggest that matrix stiffness governs the expression of β1 integrin and Cav1, which reciprocally control each other, and subsequently determine FA assembly and turnover.

Abstract
The constitutive expression of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II molecules is restricted to professional Antigen-Presenting Cells (APCs), nevertheless almost 50% of melanomas express constitutively the MHC class II molecules. Therefore, in two MHC class II constitutive expressing melanoma cell lines we studied the signalling mediated by the HLA-DR molecules in the aim to understand the consequence of class II mediated signalling on metastatic dissemination of melanoma. In particular, we reported that the HLA-DR mediated signalling play a new role in melanoma progression, increasing the migration and invasion of melanoma cells. Furthermore, we showed that the HLA-DR mediated signalling increases the expression and the lipid raft localisation of class II molecules, PD-L1 receptor, Integrin and CAM adhesion receptors, FAK, AKT and STAT3 signalling proteins. We also showed that the HLA-DR mediated signalling increases the activation of FAK, AKT, ERK, PKC and STAT3 signalling proteins and the expression of ILK, PAX, BRAF, ERK and PKC. Indeed, the results showed suggest that the HLA-DR mediated signalling provides a platform useful to frustrate an effective anti-tumour response and to increase melanoma migration and metastatic dissemination of this cancer.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness regulates cell differentiation, survival, and migration. Our previous study has shown that the interaction of the focal adhesion protein vinculin with vinexin α plays a critical role in sensing ECM stiffness and regulating stiffness-dependent cell migration. However, the mechanism how vinculin-vinexin α interaction affects stiffness-dependent cell migration is unclear. Lipid rafts are membrane microdomains that are known to affect ECM-induced signals and cell behaviors. Here, we show that vinculin and vinexin α can localize to lipid rafts. Cell-ECM adhesion, intracellular tension, and a rigid ECM promote vinculin distribution to lipid rafts. The disruption of lipid rafts with Methyl-β-cyclodextrin impaired the ECM stiffness-mediated regulation of vinculin behavior and rapid cell migration on rigid ECM. These results indicate that lipid rafts play an important role in ECM-stiffness regulation of cell migration via vinculin.

Abstract
Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum is a dimorphic fungus that causes histoplasmosis, a human systemic mycosis with worldwide distribution. In the present work, we demonstrate that H. capsulatum yeasts are able to induce cytokine secretion by the human lung epithelial cell line A549 in integrin- and Src-family kinase (SFK)-dependent manners. This conclusion is supported by small interfering RNA (siRNA) directed to α3 and α5 integrins, and PP2, an inhibitor of SFK activation. siRNA and PP2 reduced IL-6 and IL-8 secretion in H. capsulatum-infected A549 cell cultures. In addition, α3 and α5 integrins from A549 cells were capable of associating with H. capsulatum yeasts, and this fungus promotes recruitment of these integrins and SFKs to A549 cell membrane rafts. Corroborating this finding, membrane raft disruption with the cholesterol-chelator methyl-β-cyclodextrin reduced the levels of integrins and SFKs in these cell membrane domains. Finally, pretreatment of A549 cells with the cholesterol-binding compound, and also a membrane raft disruptor, filipin, significantly reduced IL-6 and IL-8 levels in A549-H.capsulatum cultures. Taken together, these results indicate that H. capsulatum yeasts induce secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 in human lung epithelial cells by interacting with α3 and α5 integrins, recruiting these integrins to membrane rafts, and promoting SFK activation.

Abstract
Many human diseases, including metabolic, immune and central nervous system disorders, as well as cancer, are the consequence of an alteration in lipid metabolic enzymes and their pathways. This illustrates the fundamental role played by lipids in maintaining membrane homeostasis and normal function in healthy cells. We reviewed the major lipid dysfunctions occurring during tumor development, as determined using systems biology approaches. In it, we provide detailed insight into the essential roles exerted by specific lipids in mediating intracellular oncogenic signaling, endoplasmic reticulum stress and bidirectional crosstalk between cells of the tumor microenvironment and cancer cells. Finally, we summarize the advances in ongoing research aimed at exploiting the dependency of cancer cells on lipids to abolish tumor progression.

Abstract
It has been reported that intracellular Ca2+ is involved in lysosome fusion and membrane repair in skeletal cells. Given that angiotensin II (Ang II) elicits an increase in intracellular Ca2+ and that lysosome fusion is a crucial mediator of lipid raft (LR) clustering, we hypothesized that Ang II induces lysosome fusion and activates LR formation in rat mesenteric endothelial cells (MECs). We found that Ang II acutely increased intracellular Ca2+ content, an effect that was inhibited by the extracellular Ca2+ chelator ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA) and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-induced Ca2+ release inhibitor 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB). Further study showed that EGTA almost completely blocked Ang II-induced lysosome fusion, the translocation of acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) to LR clusters, ASMase activation and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) oxidase activation. In contrast, 2-APB had a slight inhibitory effect. Functionally, both the lysosome inhibitor bafilomycin A1 and the ASMase inhibitor amitriptyline reversed Ang II-induced impairment of vasodilation. We conclude that Ca2+ -regulated lysosome fusion mediates the Ang II-induced regulation of the LR-redox signaling pathway and mesenteric endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is one of the etiological agents of paracoccidioidomycosis, a human systemic mycosis, highly prevalent in Latin America. In the present work, we demonstrate that P. brasiliensis yeasts promote IL-6 and IL-8 secretion by the human lung epithelial cell line A549 in an integrin-dependent manner. In fact, small interfering RNA directed to α3 and α5 integrins decreased IL-6 and IL-8 levels in P. brasiliensis-infected A549 cell cultures. This fungus also led to an increase in the expression of α3 and α5 integrins in this epithelial cell line. In addition, P. brasiliensis yeasts promoted α3 and α5 integrins clustering into A549 cell membrane rafts. Furthermore, epithelial cell membrane raft disruption with nystatin decreased IL-6 and IL-8 levels in P. brasiliensis-A549 cell cultures. Therefore, by increasing host α3 and α5 integrins levels and clustering these receptors into membrane rafts, P. brasiliensis yeasts may modulate host inflammation.

Abstract
Astrogliosis after spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major impediment to functional recovery. More than half of new astrocytes generated after SCI are derived from ependymal zone stem cells (EZCs). We demonstrate that expression of β1-integrin increases in EZCs following SCI in mice. Conditional knock-out of β1-integrin increases GFAP expression and astrocytic differentiation by cultured EZCs without altering oligodendroglial or neuronal differentiation. Ablation of β1-integrin from EZCs in vivo reduced the number of EZC progeny that continued to express stem cell markers after SCI, increased the proportion of EZC progeny that differentiated into GFAP+ astrocytes, and diminished functional recovery. Loss of β1-integrin increased SMAD1/5/8 and p38 signaling, suggesting activation of BMP signaling. Coimmunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that β1-integrin directly interacts with the bone morphogenetic protein receptor subunits BMPR1a and BMPR1b. Ablation of β1-integrin reduced overall levels of BMP receptors but significantly increased partitioning of BMPR1b into lipid rafts with increased SMAD1/5/8 and p38 signaling. Thus β1-integrin expression by EZCs reduces movement of BMPR1b into lipid rafts, thereby limiting the known deleterious effects of BMPR1b signaling on glial scar formation after SCI.

Abstract
The receptor for the urokinase plasminogen activator (uPAR) is up-regulated in malignant tumors. Historically the function of uPAR in cancer cell invasion is strictly related to its property to promote uPA-dependent proteolysis of extracellular matrix and to open a path to malignant cells. These features are typical of mesenchymal motility. Here we show that the full-length form of uPAR is required when prostate and melanoma cancer cells convert their migration style from the “path generating” mesenchymal to the “path finding” amoeboid one, thus conferring a plasticity to tumor cell invasiveness across three-dimensional matrices. Indeed, in response to a protease inhibitors-rich milieu, prostate and melanoma cells activated an amoeboid invasion program connoted by retraction of cell protrusions, RhoA-mediated rounding of the cell body, formation of a cortical ring of actin and a reduction of Rac-1 activation. While the mesenchymal movement was reduced upon silencing of uPAR expression, the amoeboid one was almost completely abolished, in parallel with a deregulation of small Rho-GTPases activity. In melanoma and prostate cancer cells we have shown uPAR colocalization with β1/β3 integrins and actin cytoskeleton, as well integrins-actin co-localization under both mesenchymal and amoeboid conditions. Such co-localizations were lost upon treatment of cells with a peptide that inhibits uPAR-integrin interactions. Similarly to uPAR silencing, the peptide reduced mesenchymal invasion and almost abolished the amoeboid one. These results indicate that full-length uPAR bridges the mesenchymal and amoeboid style of movement by an inward-oriented activity based on its property to promote integrin-actin interactions and the following cytoskeleton assembly.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We have recently shown that the prolongation of prostaglandin E2 hyperalgesia in a preclinical model of chronic pain-hyperalgesic priming-is mediated by release of cyclic adenosine monophosphate from isolectin B4-positive nociceptors and its metabolism by ectonucleotidases to produce adenosine. The adenosine, in turn, acts in an autocrine mechanism at an A1 adenosine receptor whose downstream signaling mechanisms in the nociceptor are altered to produce nociceptor sensitization. We previously showed that antisense against an extracellular matrix molecule, versican, which defines the population of nociceptors involved in hyperalgesic priming, eliminated the prolongation of prostaglandin E2 hyperalgesia. To further evaluate the mechanisms at the interface between the extracellular matrix and the nociceptor's plasma membrane involved in hyperalgesia prolongation, we interrupted a plasma membrane molecule involved in versican signaling, integrin β1, with an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide. Integrin β1 antisense eliminated mechanical hyperalgesia induced by an adenosine A1 receptor agonist, cyclopentyladenosine, in the primed rat. We also disrupted a molecular complex of signaling molecules that contains integrin β1, lipid rafts, with methyl-β-cyclodextrin, which attenuated the prolongation without affecting the acute phase of prostaglandin E2 hyperalgesia, while having no effect on cyclopentyladenosine hyperalgesia. Our findings help to define the plasma membrane mechanisms involved in a preclinical model of chronic pain. PERSPECTIVE The present study contributes to a further understanding of mechanisms involved in the organization of messengers at the plasma membrane that participate in the transition from acute to chronic pain.

Abstract
Infiltrating leukocytes are exposed to a wide range of tissue elasticities. While we know the effects of substrate elasticity on acute inflammation via the study of neutrophil migration, we do not know its effects on leukocytes that direct chronic inflammatory events. Here, we studied morphology and motility of macrophages, the innate immune cells that orchestrate acute and chronic inflammation, on polyacrylamide hydrogels that mimicked a wide range of tissue elasticities. As expected, we found that macrophage spreading area increased as substrate elasticity increased. Unexpectedly, we found that morphology did not inversely correlate with motility. In fact, velocity of steady-state macrophages remained unaffected by substrate elasticity, while velocity of biologically stimulated macrophages was limited on stiff substrates. We also found that the lack of motility on stiff substrates was due to a lack of lipid rafts on the leading edge of the macrophages. This study implicates lipid rafts in the mechanosensory mechanism of innate immune cell infiltration.

Abstract
Accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and other neutral glycosphingolipids with galactosyl residues is the hallmark of Fabry disease, a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (α-gal A). These lipids are incorporated into the plasma membrane and intracellular membranes, with a preference for lipid rafts. Disruption of raft mediated cell processes is implicated in the pathogenesis of several human diseases, but little is known about the effects of the accumulation of glycosphingolipids on raft dynamics in the context of Fabry disease. Using siRNA technology, we have generated a polarized renal epithelial cell model of Fabry disease in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. These cells present increased levels of Gb3 and enlarged lysosomes, and progressively accumulate zebra bodies. The polarized delivery of both raft-associated and raft-independent proteins was unaffected by α-gal A knockdown, suggesting that accumulation of Gb3 does not disrupt biosynthetic trafficking pathways. To assess the effect of α-gal A silencing on lipid raft dynamics, we employed number and brightness (N&B) analysis to measure the oligomeric status and mobility of the model glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein GFP-GPI. We observed a significant increase in the oligomeric size of antibody-induced clusters of GFP-GPI at the plasma membrane of α-gal A silenced cells compared with control cells. Our results suggest that the interaction of GFP-GPI with lipid rafts may be altered in the presence of accumulated Gb3. The implications of our results with respect to the pathogenesis of Fabry disease are discussed.

Abstract
Lipid rafts are related to cell surface receptor function. Integrin is a major surface receptor protein in cell adhesion and migration on the extracellular matrix (ECM). Here, we showed that lipid rafts played a critical role in human melanoma A375 cell spreading and migration on fibronectin; an important component of the ECM that interacts with β1 integrin. We found that the disruption of lipid rafts did not markedly inhibit the expression and activation of β1 integrin. By coimmunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry, we investigated the influence of lipid rafts on the β1 integrin complex and identified nucleolin as a potential lipid-raft-dependent β1-integrin-interacting protein. Upon confirmation of the interaction between β1 integrin and nucleolin, further studies revealed that nucleolin colocalized with β1 integrin in lipid rafts and raft disruption interrupted their association. In addition, knockdown of nucleolin markedly attenuated A375 cell spreading and migration on fibronectin. Taken together, we demonstrated that nucleolin is a critical lipid-raft-dependent β1-integrin-interacting protein in A375 cell spreading and migration on fibronectin.
