Abstract
Neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration are key processes that mediate the development and progression of neurological diseases. However, the mechanisms modulating these processes in different diseases remain incompletely understood. Advances in single cell based multi-omic analyses have helped to identify distinct molecular signatures such as Lgals3 that is associated with neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in the central nervous system (CNS). Lgals3 encodes galectin-3 (Gal3), a β-galactoside and glycan binding glycoprotein that is frequently upregulated by reactive microglia/macrophages in the CNS during various neurological diseases. While Gal3 has previously been associated with non-CNS inflammatory and fibrotic diseases, recent studies highlight Gal3 as a prominent regulator of inflammation and neuroaxonal damage in the CNS during diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. In this review, we summarize the pleiotropic functions of Gal3 and discuss evidence that demonstrates its detrimental role in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration during different neurological diseases. We also consider the challenges of translating preclinical observations into targeting Gal3 in the human CNS.

The potential role of liquid-liquid phase separation in the cellular fate of the compartments for unconventional protein secretion. Protein Sci 2024; 33:e5085. [PMID: 38923199 PMCID: PMC11201811 DOI: 10.1002/pro.5085] [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: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Eukaryotic cells have developed intricate mechanisms for biomolecule transport, particularly in stressful conditions. This interdisciplinary study delves into unconventional protein secretion (UPS) pathways activated during starvation, facilitating the export of proteins bypassing most of the components of the classical secretory machinery. Specifically, we focus on the underexplored mechanisms of the GRASP's role in UPS, particularly in biogenesis and cargo recruitment for the vesicular-like compartment for UPS. Our results show that liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) plays a key role in the coacervation of Grh1, the GRASP yeast homologue, under starvation-like conditions. This association seems a precursor to the Compartment for Unconventional Protein Secretion (CUPS) biogenesis. Grh1's self-association is regulated by electrostatic, hydrophobic, and hydrogen-bonding interactions. Importantly, our study demonstrates that phase-separated states of Grh1 can recruit UPS cargo under starvation-like situations. Additionally, we explore how the coacervate liquid-to-solid transition could impact cells' ability to return to normal post-stress states. Our findings offer insights into intracellular protein dynamics and cell adaptive responses to stress.

Abstract
Interleukin-33 (IL-33), secreted by astrocytes, regulates the synapse development in the spinal cord and hippocampus and suppresses autoimmune disease in the central nervous system (CNS). However, the mechanism of unconventional protein secretion of this cytokine remains unclear. In this study, we found that IFN-γ promotes the active secretion of IL-33 from astrocytes, and the active secretion of IL-33 from cytoplasm to extracellular space was dependent on interaction with transmembrane emp24 domain 10 (TMED10) via the IL-1 like cytokine domain in astrocytes. Knockout of Il-33 or its receptor St2 induced hippocampal astrocyte activation and depressive-like disorder in naive mice, as well as increased spinal cord astrocyte activation and polarization to a neurotoxic reactive subtype and aggravated passive experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Our results have identified that IL-33 is actively secreted by astrocytes through the unconventional protein secretion pathway facilitated by TMED10 channels. This process helps maintain CNS homeostasis by inhibiting astrocyte activation.

Abstract
Cargo translocation across membranes is a crucial aspect of secretion. In conventional secretion signal peptide-equipped proteins enter the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), whereas a subset of cargo lacking signal peptides translocate into the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) in a process called unconventional protein secretion (UcPS). The regulatory events at the ERGIC in UcPS are unclear. Here we reveal the involvement of ERGIC-localized small GTPases, Rab1 (Rab1A and Rab1B) and Rab2A, in regulating UcPS cargo transport via TMED10 on the ERGIC. Rab1 enhances TMED10 translocator activity, promoting cargo translocation into the ERGIC, whereas Rab2A, in collaboration with KIF5B, regulates ERGIC compartmentalization, establishing a UcPS-specific compartment. This study highlights the pivotal role of ERGIC-localized Rabs in governing cargo translocation and specifying the ERGIC's function in UcPS.

Abstract
The budding yeast Kluyveromyces lactis has emerged as a promising microbial chassis in industrial biotechnology. However, a lack of efficient molecular genetic manipulation tools and strategies has hindered the development of K. lactis as a biomanufacturing platform. In this study, we developed and applied a CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing method to K. lactis. Single-gene editing efficiency was increased to 80% by disrupting the nonhomologous end-joining-related gene KU80 and performing a series of process optimizations. Subsequently, the CRISPR/Cas9 system was explored based on different sgRNA delivery modes for simultaneous multigene editing. With the aid of the color indicator, the editing efficiencies of two and three genes reached 73.3 and 36%, respectively, in the KlΔKU80 strain. Furthermore, the CRISPR/Cas9 system was used for multisite integration to enhance lactase production and combinatorial knockout of TMED10 and HSP90 to characterize the extracellular secretion of lactase in K. lactis. Generally, genome editing is a powerful tool for constructing K. lactis cell factories for protein and chemical production.

BMC Genom Data 2024; 25:56. [PMID: 38858637 PMCID: PMC11163699 DOI: 10.1186/s12863-024-01233-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Polymorphisms in IL1B play a significant role in depression, multiple inflammatory-associated disorders, and susceptibility to infection. Functional non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) result in changes in the encoded amino acids, potentially leading to structural and functional alterations in the mutant proteins. So far, most genetic studies have concentrated on SNPs located in the IL1B promoter region, without addressing nsSNPs and their association with multifactorial diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the impact of deleterious nsSNPs retrieved from the dbSNP database on the structure and functions of the IL1B protein. RESULTS Six web servers (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, PROVEAN, SNPs&GO, PHD-SNP, PANTHER) were used to analyze the impact of 222 missense SNPs on the function and structure of IL1B protein. Five novel nsSNPs (E100K, T240I, S53Y, D128Y, and F228S) were found to be deleterious and had a mutational impact on the structure and function of the IL1B protein. The I-mutant v2.0 and MUPro servers predicted that these mutations decreased the stability of the IL1B protein. Additionally, these five mutations were found to be conserved, underscoring their significance in protein structure and function. Three of them (T240I, D128Y, and F228S) were predicted to be cancer-causing nsSNPs. To analyze the behavior of the mutant structures under physiological conditions, we conducted a 50 ns molecular dynamics simulation using the WebGro online tool. Our findings indicate that the mutant values differ from those of the IL1B wild type in terms of RMSD, RMSF, Rg, SASA, and the number of hydrogen bonds. CONCLUSIONS This study provides valuable insights into nsSNPs located in the coding regions of IL1B, which lead to direct deleterious effects on the functional and structural aspects of the IL1B protein. Thus, these nsSNPs could be considered significant candidates in the pathogenesis of disorders caused by IL1B dysfunction, contributing to effective drug discovery and the development of precision medications. Thorough research and wet lab experiments are required to verify our findings. Moreover, bioinformatic tools were found valuable in the prediction of deleterious nsSNPs.

Abstract
The integrated stress response (ISR) triggered in response to various cellular stress enables mammalian cells to effectively cope with diverse stressful conditions while maintaining their normal functions. Four kinases (PERK, PKR, GCN2, and HRI) of ISR regulate ISR signaling and intracellular protein translation via mediating the phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 α (eIF2α) at Ser51. Early ISR creates an opportunity for cells to repair themselves and restore homeostasis. This effect, however, is reversed in the late stages of ISR. Currently, some studies have shown the non-negligible impact of ISR on diseases such as ischemic diseases, cognitive impairment, metabolic syndrome, cancer, vanishing white matter, etc. Hence, artificial regulation of ISR and its signaling with ISR modulators becomes a promising therapeutic strategy for relieving disease symptoms and improving clinical outcomes. Here, we provide an overview of the essential mechanisms of ISR and describe the ISR-related pathways in organelles including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes. Meanwhile, the regulatory effects of ISR modulators and their potential application in various diseases are also enumerated.

Abstract
In this comprehensive genome-wide study, we identified and classified 83 Xylanase Inhibitor Protein (XIP) genes in wheat, grouped into five distinct categories, to enhance understanding of wheat's resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB), a significant fungal threat to global wheat production. Our analysis reveals the unique distribution of XIP genes across wheat chromosomes, particularly at terminal regions, suggesting their role in the evolutionary expansion of the gene family. Several XIP genes lack signal peptides, indicating potential alternative secretion pathways that could be pivotal in plant defense against FHB. The study also uncovers the sequence homology between XIPs and chitinases, hinting at a functional diversification within the XIP gene family. Additionally, the research explores the association of XIP genes with plant immune mechanisms, particularly their linkage with plant hormone signaling pathways like abscisic acid and jasmonic acid. XIP-7A3, in particular, demonstrates a significant increase in expression upon FHB infection, highlighting its potential as a key candidate gene for enhancing wheat's resistance to this disease. This research not only enriches our understanding of the XIP gene family in wheat but also provides a foundation for future investigations into their role in developing FHB-resistant wheat cultivars. The findings offer significant implications for wheat genomics and breeding, contributing to the development of more resilient crops against fungal diseases.

Abstract
The eukaryotic p24 family, consisting of α-, β-, γ- and δ-p24 subfamilies, has long been known to be involved in regulating secretion. Despite increasing interest in these proteins, fundamental questions remain about their role. Here, we systematically investigated Drosophila p24 proteins. We discovered that members of all four p24 subfamilies are required for general secretion and that their localizations between ER exit site (ERES) and Golgi are interdependent in an α→βδ→γ sequence. We also found that localization of p24 proteins and ERES determinant Tango1 requires interaction through their respective GOLD and SH3 lumenal domains, with Tango1 loss sending p24 proteins to the plasma membrane and vice versa. Finally, we show that p24 loss expands the COPII zone at ERES and increases the number of ER-Golgi vesicles, supporting a restrictive role of p24 proteins on vesicle budding for efficient transport. Our results reveal Tango1-p24 interplay as central to the generation of a stable ER-Golgi interface.

Abstract
Exosomes, small yet vital extracellular vesicles, play an integral role in intercellular communication. They transport critical components, such as proteins, lipid bilayers, DNA, RNA, and glycans, to target cells. These vesicles are crucial in modulating the extracellular matrix and orchestrating signal transduction processes. In oncology, exosomes are pivotal in tumor growth, metastasis, drug resistance, and immune modulation within the tumor microenvironment. Exosomal proteins, noted for their stability and specificity, have garnered widespread attention. This review delves into the mechanisms of exosomal protein loading and their impact on tumor development, with a focus on the regulatory effects of natural products and traditional Chinese medicine on exosomal protein loading and function. These insights not only offer new strategies and methodologies for cancer treatment but also provide scientific bases and directions for future clinical applications.

The incorporation of acetylated LAP-TGF-β1 proteins into exosomes promotes TNBC cell dissemination in lung micro-metastasis. Mol Cancer 2024; 23:82.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) stands as the breast cancer subtype with the highest recurrence and mortality rates, with the lungs being the common site of metastasis. The pulmonary microenvironment plays a pivotal role in the colonization of disseminated tumor cells. Herein, this study highlights the crucial role of exosomal LAP-TGF-β1, the principal form of exosomal TGF-β1, in reshaping the pulmonary vascular niche, thereby facilitating TNBC lung metastasis. Although various strategies have been developed to block TGF-β signaling and have advanced clinically, their significant side effects have limited their therapeutic application. This study demonstrates that in lung metastatic sites, LAP-TGF-β1 within exosomes can remarkably reconfigure the pulmonary vascular niche at lower doses, bolstering the extravasation and colonization of TNBC cells in the lungs. Mechanistically, under the aegis of the acetyltransferase TIP60, a non-canonical KFERQ-like sequence in LAP-TGF-β1 undergoes acetylation at the K304 site, promoting its interaction with HSP90A and subsequent transport into exosomes. Concurrent inhibition of both HSP90A and TIP60 significantly diminishes the exosomal burden of LAP-TGF-β1, presenting a promising therapeutic avenue for TNBC lung metastasis. This study not only offers fresh insights into the molecular underpinnings of TNBC lung metastasis but also lays a foundation for innovative therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a widespread zoonosis caused by the infection with Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (E. granulosus s.l.). CE cysts mainly develop in the liver of intermediate hosts, characterized by the fibrotic tissue that separates host organ from parasite. However, precise mechanism underlying the formation of fibrotic tissue in CE remains unclear. METHODS To investigate the potential impact of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes on liver fibrosis formation in CE, two members of ubiquitin-conjugating (UBC) enzyme of Echinococcus granulosus (EgE2D2 and EgE2N) were recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli and analyzed for bioinformatics, immunogenicity, localization, and enzyme activity. In addition, the secretory pathway and their effects on the formation of liver fibrosis were also explored. RESULTS Both rEgE2D2 and rEgE2N possess intact UBC domains and active sites, exhibiting classical ubiquitin binding activity and strong immunoreactivity. Additionally, EgE2D2 and EgE2N were widely distributed in protoscoleces and germinal layer, with differences observed in their distribution in 25-day strobilated worms. Further, these two enzymes were secreted to the hydatid fluid and CE-infected sheep liver tissues via a non-classical secretory pathway. Notably, TGFβ1-induced LX-2 cells exposed to rEgE2D2 and rEgE2N resulted in increasing expression of fibrosis-related genes, enhancing cell proliferation, and facilitating cell migration. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that EgE2D2 and EgE2N could secrete into the liver and may interact with hepatic stellate cells, thereby promoting the formation of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-translational transport is a vital process which ensures that each protein reaches its site of function. Though most do so via an ordered ER-to-Golgi route, an increasing number of proteins are now shown to bypass this conventional secretory pathway. RESULTS In the Drosophila olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), odorant receptors (ORs) are trafficked from the ER towards the cilia. Here, we show that Or22a, a receptor of various esters and alcoholic compounds, reaches the cilia partially through unconventional means. Or22a frequently present as puncta at the somatic cell body exit and within the dendrite prior to the cilia base. These rarely coincide with markers of either the intermediary ER-Golgi-intermediate-compartment (ERGIC) or Golgi structures. ERGIC and Golgi also displayed axonal localization biases, a further indication that at least some measure of OR transport may occur independently of their involvement. Additionally, neither the loss of several COPII genes involved in anterograde trafficking nor ERGIC itself affected puncta formation or Or22a transport to the cilium. Instead, we observed the consistent colocalization of Or22a puncta with Grasp65, the sole Drosophila homolog of mammalian GRASP55/Grh1, a marker of the unconventional pathway. The numbers of both Or22a and Grasp65-positive puncta were furthermore increased upon nutritional starvation, a condition known to enhance Golgi-bypassing secretory activity. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate an alternative route of Or22a transport, thus expanding the repertoire of unconventional secretion mechanisms in neurons.

Abstract
Galectins are soluble glycan-binding proteins that interact with a wide range of glycoproteins and glycolipids and modulate a broad spectrum of physiological and pathological processes. The expression and subcellular localization of different galectins vary among tissues and cell types and change during processes of tissue repair, fibrosis and cancer where epithelial cells loss differentiation while acquiring migratory mesenchymal phenotypes. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that occurs in the context of these processes can include modifications of glycosylation patterns of glycolipids and glycoproteins affecting their interactions with galectins. Moreover, overexpression of certain galectins has been involved in the development and different outcomes of EMT. This review focuses on the roles and mechanisms of Galectin-1 (Gal-1), Gal-3, Gal-4, Gal-7 and Gal-8, which have been involved in physiologic and pathogenic EMT contexts.

Abstract
Inflammation is a significant pathological manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), yet its mechanism has remained unclear. Although WNT2B is enriched in the intestinal inflammatory tissue of IBD patients, the specific mechanism of WNT2B in the formation of intestinal inflammation remains unclear. This study was aimed to investigate whether macrophages expressing WNT2B can aggravate intestinal tissue inflammation. Samples were collected from both normal individuals and patients with IBD at multiple colon sites. Macrophages were identified using tissue immunofluorescence. IκB kinase (IKK)-interacting protein (IKIP), which interacts with WNT2B, was found by protein cross-linking and protein mass spectrometry. The expression of WNT2B, IKIP, the NF-κB pathway, and downstream molecules were analyzed. An acute colitis model of C57BL/6J mice was established using an adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated WNT2B knockdown system and 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). The degree of intestinal inflammation in mice was assessed upon WNT2B knockdown in macrophages. Macrophages expressing WNT2B were found to be enriched in the colitis tissues of IBD patients. WNT2B in macrophages activated the NF-κB pathway and enhanced the expression of downstream inflammatory cytokines. By competitively binding IKIP, WNT2B reduced the binding of IKIP to IKKβ and promoted the activation of the NF-κB pathway. Using an AAV-mediated WNT2B knockdown system, WNT2B expression in intestinal macrophages was suppressed, leading to a reduction in intestinal inflammation. WNT2B activated the NF-κB pathway and enhanced the expression of downstream inflammatory cytokines by competitively binding to IKIP, potentially contributing to colon inflammatory injury in IBD.

Abstract
Galectin-3, well characterized as a glycan binding protein, has been identified as a putative RNA binding protein, possibly through participation in pre-mRNA maturation through interactions with splicosomes. Given recent developments with cell surface RNA biology, the putative dual-function nature of galectin-3 evokes a possible non-classical connection between glycobiology and RNA biology. However, with limited functional evidence of a direct RNA interaction, many molecular-level observations rely on affinity reagents and lack appropriate genetic controls. Thus, evidence of a direct interaction remains elusive. We demonstrate that antibodies raised to endogenous human galectin-3 can isolate RNA-protein crosslinks, but this activity remains insensitive to LGALS3 knock-out. Proteomic characterization of anti-galectin-3 IPs revealed enrichment of galectin-3, but high abundance of hnRNPA2B1, an abundant, well-characterized RNA-binding protein with weak homology to the N-terminal domain of galectin-3, in the isolate. Genetic ablation of HNRNPA2B1, but not LGALS3, eliminates the ability of the anti-galectin-3 antibodies to isolate RNA-protein crosslinks, implying either an indirect interaction or cross-reactivity. To address this, we introduced an epitope tag to the endogenous C-terminal locus of LGALS3. Isolation of the tagged galectin-3 failed to reveal any RNA-protein crosslinks. This result suggests that the galectin-3 does not directly interact with RNA and may be misidentified as an RNA-binding protein, at least in HeLa where the putative RNA associations were first identified. We encourage further investigation of this phenomenon employ gene deletions and, when possible, endogenous epitope tags to achieve the specificity required to evaluate potential interactions.

Abstract
Stressed cells secret misfolded proteins lacking signaling sequence via an unconventional protein secretion (UcPS) pathway, but how misfolded proteins are targeted selectively in UcPS is unclear. Here, we report that misfolded UcPS clients are subject to modification by a ubiquitin-like protein named ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 (UFM1). Using α-synuclein (α-Syn) as a UcPS model, we show that mutating the UFMylation sites in α-Syn or genetic inhibition of the UFMylation system mitigates α-Syn secretion, whereas overexpression of UFBP1, a component of the endoplasmic reticulum-associated UFMylation ligase complex, augments α-Syn secretion in mammalian cells and in model organisms. UFM1 itself is cosecreted with α-Syn, and the serum UFM1 level correlates with that of α-Syn. Because UFM1 can be directly recognized by ubiquitin specific peptidase 19 (USP19), a previously established UcPS stimulator known to associate with several chaperoning activities, UFMylation might facilitate substrate engagement by USP19, allowing stringent and regulated selection of misfolded proteins for secretion and proteotoxic stress alleviation.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Do extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by aneuploid human embryos possess a unique transcriptomic profile that elicits a relevant transcriptomic response in decidualized primary endometrial stromal cells (dESCs)? SUMMARY ANSWER Aneuploid embryo-derived EVs contain transcripts of PPM1J, LINC00561, ANKRD34C, and TMED10 with differential abundance from euploid embryo-derived EVs and induce upregulation of MUC1 transcript in dESCs. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY We have previously reported that IVF embryos secrete EVs that can be internalized by ESCs, conceptualizing that successful implantation to the endometrium is facilitated by EVs. Whether these EVs may additionally serve as biomarkers of ploidy status is unknown. STUDY DESIGN SIZE DURATION Embryos destined for biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) were grown under standard conditions. Spent media (30 μl) were collected from euploid (n = 175) and aneuploid (n = 140) embryos at cleavage (Days 1-3) stage and from euploid (n = 187) and aneuploid (n = 142) embryos at blastocyst (Days 3-5) stage. Media samples from n = 35 cleavage-stage embryos were pooled in order to obtain five euploid and four aneuploid pools. Similarly, media samples from blastocysts were pooled to create one euploid and one aneuploid pool. ESCs were obtained from five women undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS SETTING METHODS EVs were isolated from pools of media by differential centrifugation and EV-RNA sequencing was performed following a single-cell approach that circumvents RNA extraction. ESCs were decidualized (estradiol: 10 nM, progesterone: 1 µM, cAMP: 0.5 mM twice every 48 h) and incubated for 24 h with EVs (50 ng/ml). RNA sequencing was performed on ESCs. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Aneuploid cleavage stage embryos secreted EVs that were less abundant in RNA fragments originating from the genes PPM1J (log2fc = -5.13, P = 0.011), LINC00561 (log2fc = -7.87, P = 0.010), and ANKRD34C (log2fc = -7.30, P = 0.017) and more abundant in TMED10 (log2fc = 1.63, P = 0.025) compared to EVs of euploid embryos. Decidualization per se induced downregulation of MUC1 (log2fc = -0.54, P = 0.0028) in ESCs as a prerequisite for the establishment of receptive endometrium. The expression of MUC1 transcript in decidualized ESCs was significantly increased following treatment with aneuploid compared to euploid embryo-secreted EVs (log2fc = 0.85, P = 0.0201). LARGE SCALE DATA Raw data have been uploaded to GEO (accession number GSE234338). LIMITATIONS REASONS FOR CAUTION The findings of the study will require validation utilizing a second cohort of EV samples. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS The discovery that the transcriptomic profile of EVs secreted from aneuploid cleavage stage embryos differs from that of euploid embryos supports the possibility to develop a non-invasive methodology for PGT-A. The upregulation of MUC1 in dESCs following aneuploid embryo EV treatment proposes a new mechanism underlying implantation failure. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTERESTS The study was supported by a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions fellowship awarded to SM by the European Commission (CERVINO grant agreement ID: 79620) and by a BIRTH research grant from Theramex HQ UK Ltd.

Abstract
The cellular secretome is pivotal in mediating intercellular communication and coordinating responses to stressors. Exosomes, initially recognized for their role in waste disposal, have now emerged as key intercellular messengers with significant therapeutic and diagnostic potential. Similarly, autophagy has transcended its traditional role as a waste removal mechanism, emerging as a regulator of intracellular communication pathways and a contributor to a unique autophagy-dependent secretome. Secretory authophagy, initiated by various stress stimuli, prompts the selective release of proteins implicated in inflammation, including leaderless proteins that bypass the conventional endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi secretory pathway. This reflects the significant impact of stress-induced autophagy on cellular secretion profiles, including the modulation of exosome release. The convergence of exosome biogenesis and autophagy is exemplified by the formation of amphisomes, vesicles that integrate autophagic and endosomal pathways, indicating their synergistic interplay. Regulatory proteins common to both pathways, particularly mTORC1, emerge as potential therapeutic targets to alter cellular secretion profiles involved in various diseases. This review explores the dynamic interplay between autophagy and exosome formation, highlighting the potential to influence the secretome composition. While the modulation of exosome secretion and cytokine preconditioning is well-established in regenerative medicine, the strategic manipulation of autophagy is still underexplored, presenting a promising but uncharted therapeutic landscape.

Abstract
The characterization of the structural and functional organization of eukaryotic cells has revealed the membrane compartments and machinery required for vesicular protein transport. Most proteins essential for intercellular communication contain an N-terminal signal sequence enabling them to be incorporated into the biosynthetic or conventional secretory pathway, in which proteins are sequentially transported through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi apparatus. However, major research studies have shown the existence of alternative secretory routes that are independent of the ER-Golgi and designated as unconventional secretory pathways. These pathways involve a large number of players that may divert specific compartments from their primary function in favor of secretory roles. The comprehensive description of these processes is therefore of utmost importance to unveil how proteins secreted through these alternative pathways control cell homeostasis or contribute to disease development.

Abstract
IFN-stimulated gene 2',3' cyclic nucleotide 3' phosphodiesterase (CNP) comprises two isoforms: the short CNP1 and the long CNP2, featuring an additional N-terminal segment of 20 amino acids (N20aa) proposed as a mitochondrial targeting sequence. Notably, CNP1 can be produced by cleaving the N20aa segment from CNP2. Although previous investigations have recognized the HIV-1 particle assembly impairment capability of CNP2, the antiviral activity of CNP1 remains ambiguous. Our study clarifies that CNP1, as opposed to CNP2, serves as the primary isoform exerting anti-HIV-1 activity. Both CNP1 and CNP2 can localize to the cell membrane, but the N20aa segment of CNP2 impedes CNP2-HIV-1 Gag interaction. Cleavage of the N20aa segment from CNP2 results in the formation of a functional, truncated form known as CNP1. Intriguingly, this posttranslational processing of CNP2 N20aa occurs within the cytoplasmic matrix rather than the mitochondria. Regulated by CTII motif prenylation, CNP1 proteins translocate to the cell membrane and engage with HIV-1 Gag. In conclusion, our findings underscore the pivotal role of posttranslational modification in governing the inhibitory potential of CNP in HIV-1 replication.

Abstract
Multiple physiology-pertinent transmembrane proteins reach the cell surface via the Golgi-bypassing unconventional protein secretion (UcPS) pathway. By employing C. elegans-polarized intestine epithelia, we recently have revealed that the small GTPase RAB-8/Rab8 serves as an important player in the process. Nonetheless, its function and the relevant UcPS itinerary remain poorly understood. Here, we show that deregulated RAB-8 activity resulted in impaired apical UcPS, which increased sensitivity to infection and environmental stress. We also identified the SNARE VTI-1/Vti1a/b as a new RAB-8-interacting factor involved in the apical UcPS. Besides, RAB-11/Rab11 was capable of recruiting RABI-8/Rabin8 to reduce the guanine nucleotide exchange activity of SMGL-1/GEF toward RAB-8, indicating the necessity of a finely tuned RAB-8/RAB-11 network. Populations of RAB-8- and RAB-11-positive endosomal structures containing the apical UcPS cargo moved toward the apical side. In the absence of RAB-11 or its effectors, the cargo was retained in RAB-8- and RAB-11-positive endosomes, respectively, suggesting that these endosomes are utilized as intermediate carriers for the UcPS.

Abstract
The fate of leukaemia stem cells (LSCs) is determined by both their inherent mechanisms and crosstalk with their niches. Although LSCs were confirmed to be eradicated by restarting senescence, the specific key regulators of LSC resistance to senescence and remodelling of the niche to obtain a microenvironment suitable for stemness remain unknown. Here, we found that RAB27B, a gene regulating exosome secretion, was overexpressed in LSCs and associated with the poor prognosis of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients. The increased RAB27B in LSCs prevented their senescence and maintained their stemness in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, the increased RAB27B expression in LSCs selectively promoted the loading and release of exosomes rich in senescence-inducing proteins by direct combination. Furthermore, RAB27B-regulated LSC-derived exosomes remodelled the niche and induced senescence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with increased RAB27B expression ex vivo and in vivo. The increased RAB27B in the senescent MSCs conversely promoted LSC maintenance ex vivo and in vivo via selective excretion of exosomes rich in stemness-promoting proteins. Therefore, we identified the specifically increased RAB27B in LSCs and their educated senescent MSCs as a hub molecule for LSC resistance to senescence and maintenance through crosstalk with its niche via selective exosome excretion.

Abstract
Protein trafficking is a fundamental process with profound implications for both intracellular and intercellular functions. Proximity labeling (PL) technology has emerged as a powerful tool for capturing precise snapshots of subcellular proteomes by directing promiscuous enzymes to specific cellular locations. These enzymes generate reactive species that tag endogenous proteins, enabling their identification through mass spectrometry-based proteomics. In this comprehensive review, we delve into recent advancements in PL-based methodologies, placing particular emphasis on the label-and-fractionation approach and TransitID, for mapping proteome trafficking. These methodologies not only facilitate the exploration of dynamic intracellular protein trafficking between organelles but also illuminate the intricate web of intercellular and inter-organ protein communications.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) exits cells by direct translocation across the plasma membrane, a type I pathway of unconventional protein secretion. This process is initiated by phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2)-dependent formation of highly dynamic FGF2 oligomers at the inner plasma membrane leaflet, inducing the formation of lipidic membrane pores. Cell surface heparan sulfate chains linked to glypican-1 (GPC1) capture FGF2 at the outer plasma membrane leaflet, completing FGF2 membrane translocation into the extracellular space. While the basic steps of this pathway are well understood, the molecular mechanism by which FGF2 oligomerizes on membrane surfaces remains unclear. In the current study, we demonstrate the initial step of this process to depend on C95-C95 disulfide-bridge-mediated FGF2 dimerization on membrane surfaces, producing the building blocks for higher FGF2 oligomers that drive the formation of membrane pores. We find FGF2 with a C95A substitution to be defective in oligomerization, pore formation, and membrane translocation. Consistently, we demonstrate a C95A variant of FGF2 to be characterized by a severe secretion phenotype. By contrast, while also important for efficient FGF2 secretion from cells, a second cysteine residue on the molecular surface of FGF2 (C77) is not involved in FGF2 oligomerization. Rather, we find C77 to be part of the interaction interface through which FGF2 binds to the α1 subunit of the Na,K-ATPase, the landing platform for FGF2 at the inner plasma membrane leaflet. Using cross-linking mass spectrometry, atomistic molecular dynamics simulations combined with a machine learning analysis and cryo-electron tomography, we propose a mechanism by which disulfide-bridged FGF2 dimers bind with high avidity to PI(4,5)P2 on membrane surfaces. We further propose a tight coupling between FGF2 secretion and the formation of ternary signaling complexes on cell surfaces, hypothesizing that C95-C95-bridged FGF2 dimers are functioning as the molecular units triggering autocrine and paracrine FGF2 signaling.

Abstract
Non-classical secreted proteins (NCSPs) refer to a group of proteins that are located in the extracellular environment despite the absence of signal peptides and motifs. They usually play different roles in intercellular communication. Therefore, the accurate prediction of NCSPs is a critical step to understanding in depth their associated secretion mechanisms. Since the experimental recognition of NCSPs is often costly and time-consuming, computational methods are desired. In this study, we proposed an ensemble learning framework, termed NCSP-PLM, for the identification of NCSPs by extracting feature embeddings from pre-trained protein language models (PLMs) as input to several fine-tuned deep learning models. First, we compared the performance of nine PLM embeddings by training three neural networks: Multi-layer perceptron (MLP), attention mechanism and bidirectional long short-term memory network (BiLSTM) and selected the best network model for each PLM embedding. Then, four models were excluded due to their below-average accuracies, and the remaining five models were integrated to perform the prediction of NCSPs based on the weighted voting. Finally, the 5-fold cross validation and the independent test were conducted to evaluate the performance of NCSP-PLM on the benchmark datasets. Based on the same independent dataset, the sensitivity and specificity of NCSP-PLM were 91.18% and 97.06%, respectively. Particularly, the overall accuracy of our model achieved 94.12%, which was 7~16% higher than that of the existing state-of-the-art predictors. It indicated that NCSP-PLM could serve as a useful tool for the annotation of NCSPs.

Abstract
A significant portion of mammalian proteomes is secreted to the extracellular space to fulfill crucial roles in cell-to-cell communication. To best recapitulate the intricate and multi-faceted crosstalk between cells in a live organism, there is an ever-increasing need for methods to study protein secretion in model systems that include multiple cell types. In addition, posttranslational modifications further expand the complexity and versatility of cellular communication. This review aims to summarize recent strategies and model systems that employ cellular coculture, chemical biology tools, protein enrichment, and proteomic methods to characterize the composition and function of cellular secretomes. This is all geared towards gaining better understanding of organismal biology in vivo mediated by secretory signaling.

Brain metastasis-associated fibroblasts secrete fucosylated PVR/CD155 that induces breast cancer invasion. Cell Rep 2023; 42:113463. [PMID: 37995180 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2023.113463] [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: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Brain metastasis cancer-associated fibroblasts (bmCAFs) are emerging as crucial players in the development of breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM), but our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms is limited. In this study, we aim to elucidate the pathological contributions of fucosylation (the post-translational modification of proteins by the dietary sugar L-fucose) to tumor-stromal interactions that drive the development of BCBM. Here, we report that patient-derived bmCAFs secrete high levels of polio virus receptor (PVR), which enhance the invasive capacity of BC cells. Mechanistically, we find that HIF1α transcriptionally upregulates fucosyltransferase 11, which fucosylates PVR, triggering its secretion from bmCAFs. Global phosphoproteomic analysis of BC cells followed by functional verification identifies cell-cell junction and actin cytoskeletal signaling as modulated by bmCAF-secreted, -fucosylated PVR. Our findings delineate a hypoxia- and fucosylation-regulated mechanism by which bmCAFs contribute to the invasiveness of BCBM in the brain.

Abstract
Over the past decade, accumulated studies have reported the presence of non-canonical macroautophagy/autophagy characterized by the shared usage of the autophagy machinery and distinct components that function in multiple scenarios but do not involve lysosomal degradation. One type of non-canonical autophagy is secretory autophagy, which facilitates the secretion of various cargoes. In a recent work from Gao et al. the ER-membrane protein STING1 has been identified as a novel substrate of secretory autophagy. The secretion of activated STING1 is mediated by its packing into the rafeesome, a newly identified organelle formed upon the fusion of RAB22A-mediated non-canonical autophagosome with an early endosome. Moreover, extracellular vesicles containing activated STING1 induce antitumor immunity in recipient cells, a process potentially promoted by RAB22A.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) plays critical roles in cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, and survival. Despite its importance, the molecular mechanisms mediating the trafficking of IGF2 along the secretory pathway remain unclear. Here, we utilized a Retention Using Selective Hook system to analyze molecular mechanisms that regulate the secretion of IGF2. We found that a type I transmembrane protein, TMED10, is essential for the secretion of IGF2 and for differentiation of mouse myoblast C2C12 cells. Further analyses indicate that the residues 112-140 in IGF2 are important for the secretion of IGF2 and these residues directly interact with the GOLD domain of TMED10. We then reconstituted the release of IGF2 into COPII vesicles. This assay suggests that TMED10 mediates the packaging of IGF2 into COPII vesicles to be efficiently delivered to the Golgi. Moreover, TMED10 also mediates ER export of TGN-localized cargo receptor, sortilin, which subsequently mediates TGN export of IGF2. These analyses indicate that TMED10 is critical for IGF2 secretion by directly regulating ER export and indirectly regulating TGN export of IGF2, providing insights into trafficking of IGF2 for myoblast differentiation.

Abstract
The vesicular transport system is important for substance transport in plants. In recent years, the regulatory relationship between the vesicular transport system and plant disease resistance has received widespread attention; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. MdSYP121 is a key protein in the vesicular transport system. The overexpression of MdSYP121 decreased the B. dothidea resistance of apple, while silencing MdSYP121 resulted in the opposite phenotype. A metabolome and transcriptome dataset analysis showed that MdSYP121 regulated apple disease resistance by significantly affecting sugar metabolism. HPLC results showed that the levels of many soluble sugars were significantly higher in the MdSYP121-OE calli. Furthermore, the expression levels of genes related to sugar transport were significantly higher in the MdSYP121-OE calli after B. dothidea inoculation. In addition, the relationships between the MdSYP121 expression level, the soluble sugar content, and apple resistance to B. dothidea were verified in an F1 population derived from a cross between 'Golden Delicious' and 'Fuji Nagafu No. 2'. In conclusion, these results suggested that MdSYP121 negatively regulated apple resistance to B. dothidea by influencing the soluble sugar content. These technologies and methods allow us to investigate the molecular mechanism of the vesicular transport system regulating apple resistance to B. dothidea.

Abstract
Transmembrane p24 trafficking protein 10 (TMED10) is a conserved vesicle trafficking protein. It is dysregulated in Alzheimer disease and plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease. In addition to the brain, TMED10 is highly expressed in the exocrine pancreas; however, its biological functions and underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. We studied reduced Tmed10 in zebrafish embryos by morpholino oligonucleotide knockdown and CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis. Tmed10-deficient embryos showed extensive loss of acinar mass and impaired acinar differentiation. TMED10 has been reported to have an inhibitory effect on γ-secretase. As one of the substrates of γ-secretase, membrane-bound β-catenin was significantly reduced in Tmed10-deficient embryos. Increased γ-secretase activity in wild-type embryos resulted in a phenotype similar to that of tmed10 mutants. And the mutant phenotype could be rescued by treatment with the γ-secretase inhibitor, N-[N-(3, 5-difluorophenacetyl)-l-alanyl]-s-phenylglycinet-butyl ester (DAPT). In addition, the reduced membrane-bound β-catenin was accompanied with up-regulated β-catenin target genes in Tmed10-deficient embryos. Overexpression of β-catenin signaling inhibitor Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) could rescue the exocrine pancreas defects. Taken together, our study reveals that Tmed10 regulates exocrine pancreatic differentiation through γ-secretase. Reduced membrane-bound β-catenin, accompanied with hyperactivation of β-catenin signaling, is an important cause of exocrine pancreas defects in Tmed10-deficient embryos. Our study reaffirms the importance of appropriate β-catenin signaling in exocrine pancreas development. These findings may provide a theoretical basis for the development of treatment strategies for TMED10-related diseases.

Caspase 1 Enhances Transport and Golgi Organization Protein 1 Expression to Promote Procollagen Export From the Endoplasmic Reticulum in Systemic Sclerosis Contributing to Fibrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Transport and Golgi Organization protein 1 (TANGO1) is a protein that regulates the export of procollagen from the endoplasmic reticulum and has a role in the organization of exit sites for general protein export. What regulates the expression of TANGO1 and the role of TANGO1 in fibrosis is poorly understood and has never been studied in the setting of systemic sclerosis (SSc). We undertook this study to determine the role of TANGO1 in SSc fibrosis. METHODS SSc (n = 15) and healthy (n = 12) primary fibroblast lung cell lines were investigated for the expression of TANGO1. Histologic analyses for TANGO1 were performed on lung biopsy samples (n = 12 SSc patient samples and n = 8 healthy control samples). RESULTS SSc fibroblasts showed increased expression of TANGO1 protein in cultured fibroblasts. TANGO1 colocalizes with α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)-positive cells in SSc lung tissue and is highly up-regulated in the neointima of SSc vessels. TANGO1 expression was dependent on the inflammasome activation of caspase 1. It was also dependent on signaling from the interleukin-1 (IL-1) and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) receptors. The decrease in TANGO1 down-regulated export of larger cargos including collagen and laminin. Reduced TANGO1 protein had no effect on smaller molecular weight cargoes; however, the secretion of elastin was significantly reduced. CONCLUSION TANGO1 is markedly increased in SSc fibroblasts and was found to be elevated in lung tissue in association with α-SMA-positive cells. TANGO1 expression is driven by inflammasome-dependent caspase 1 activation and is mediated by IL-1 and TGFβ downstream signaling. These observations suggest that during fibrosis, caspase 1 promotes the up-regulation of TANGO1 and the organization of endoplasmic reticulum exits sites, ultimately contributing to procollagen export and fibrosis.

Abstract
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan, China in 2019 has had a profound impact on humanity in every facet. While vaccines against this viral pathogen have been approved a year later, limitations to this therapeutic intervention persist, such as drug sensitivity to transportation and storage conditions, as well as significant financial losses from non-injected resuspended vials. Our research delves into the effects of thermal denaturation (4 - 40 °C) and light irradiation (720 and 10460 kJ/m2) on the mRNA-based vaccines BNT162b2 from BioNTech/Pfizer and mRNA-1273 from Moderna. We also investigated vaccine stability following incubation in syringes to simulate potential interactions with silicon oil. By assaying the effects of these stressors via biochemical and biophysical methods, we aim to elucidate the physicochemical properties, integrity, and stability of these mRNA-based vaccines. Furthermore, the incorporation of a fluorophore into both vaccines allowed us to monitor their localization within cells and assess their capacity to evade vesicular transport mechanisms, thus evaluating the differences between the two formulations. A comprehensive understanding of the aforementioned attributes can enable the establishment of optimal storage and manipulation conditions for these vaccines, thereby ensuring their safe and efficacious application while minimizing the waste of functional and safe therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Over the recent years, it has become apparent that a deeper understanding of cell-to-cell and organ-to-organ communication is necessary to fully comprehend both homeostatic and pathological states. Autophagy is indispensable for cellular development, function, and homeostasis. A crucial aspect is that autophagy can also mediate these processes through its secretory role. The autophagy-derived secretome relays its extracellular signals in the form of nutrients, proteins, mitochondria, and extracellular vesicles. These crosstalk mediators functionally shape cell fate decisions, tissue microenvironment and systemic physiology. The diversity of the secreted cargo elicits an equally diverse type of responses, which span over metabolic, inflammatory, and structural adaptations in disease and homeostasis. We review here the emerging role of the autophagy-derived secretome in the communication between different cell types and organs and discuss the mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Unconventional protein secretion (UPS) allows the release of specific leaderless proteins independently of the classical endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi secretory pathway. While it remains one of the least understood mechanisms in cell biology, UPS plays an essential role in immunity as it controls the release of the IL-1 family of cytokines, which coordinate host defense and inflammatory responses. The unconventional secretion of IL-1β and IL-18, the two most prominent members of the IL-1 family, is initiated by inflammasome complexes - cytosolic signaling platforms that are assembled in response to infectious or noxious stimuli. Inflammasomes activate inflammatory caspases that proteolytically mature IL-1β/- 18, but also induce pyroptosis, a lytic form of cell death. Pyroptosis is caused by gasdermin-D (GSDMD), a member of the gasdermin protein family, which is activated by caspase cleavage and forms large β-barrel plasma membrane pores. This pore-forming activity is shared with other family members that are activated during infection or upon treatment with chemotherapy drugs. While the induction of cell death was assumed to be the main function of gasdermin pores, accumulating evidence suggests that they have also non-lytic functions, such as in the release of cytokines and alarmins, or in regulating ion fluxes. This has raised the possibility that gasdermin pores are one of the main mediators of UPS. Here, I summarize and discuss new insights into gasdermin activation and pore formation, how gasdermin pores achieve selective cargo release, and how gasdermin pore formation and ninjurin-1-driven plasma membrane rupture are executed and regulated.

Abstract
The active release of proteins into the extracellular space and the proteolytic cleavage of cell surface proteins are key processes that coordinate and fine-tune a multitude of physiological functions. The entirety of proteins that fulfill these extracellular tasks are referred to as the secretome and are of special interest for the investigation of biomarkers of disease states and physiological processes related to cell-cell communication. LC-MS-based proteomics approaches are a valuable tool for the comprehensive and unbiased characterization of this important subproteome. This review discusses procedures, opportunities, and limitations of mass spectrometry-based secretomics to better understand and navigate the complex analytical landscape for studying protein secretion in biomedical science.

Abstract
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by autoreactive B cell activation, upregulation of Type I Interferon (IFN) and widespread inflammation. Mitochondrial nucleic acids (NAs) are increasingly recognized as triggers of IFN 1 . Thus, defective removal of mitochondria from mature red blood cells (Mito + RBCs), a feature of SLE, contributes to IFN production by myeloid cells 2 . Here we identify blood monocytes (Mo) that have internalized RBCs and co-express IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in SLE patients with active disease. We show that ISG expression requires the interaction between Mito + RBC-derived mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and cGAS, while IL-1β production entails Mito + RBC-derived mitochondrial RNA (mtRNA) triggering of RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs). This leads to the cytosolic release of Mo-derived mtDNA that activates the NLRP3 inflammasome. Importantly, IL-1β release depends on the IFN-inducible myxovirus resistant protein 1 (MxA), which enables the translocation of this cytokine into a trans-Golgi network (TGN)-mediated unconventional secretory pathway. Our study highlights a novel and synergistic pathway involving IFN and the NLRP3 inflammasome in SLE.

Abstract
Maintenance of protein homeostasis and organelle integrity and function is critical for cellular homeostasis and cell viability. Autophagy is the principal mechanism that mediates the delivery of various cellular cargoes to lysosomes for degradation and recycling. A myriad of studies demonstrate important protective roles for autophagy against disease. However, in cancer, seemingly opposing roles of autophagy are observed in the prevention of early tumour development versus the maintenance and metabolic adaptation of established and metastasizing tumours. Recent studies have addressed not only the tumour cell intrinsic functions of autophagy, but also the roles of autophagy in the tumour microenvironment and associated immune cells. In addition, various autophagy-related pathways have been described, which are distinct from classical autophagy, that utilize parts of the autophagic machinery and can potentially contribute to malignant disease. Growing evidence on how autophagy and related processes affect cancer development and progression has helped guide efforts to design anticancer treatments based on inhibition or promotion of autophagy. In this Review, we discuss and dissect these different functions of autophagy and autophagy-related processes during tumour development, maintenance and progression. We outline recent findings regarding the role of these processes in both the tumour cells and the tumour microenvironment and describe advances in therapy aimed at autophagy processes in cancer.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are phospholipid bilayer vesicles actively secreted by cells, that contain a variety of functional nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, and are important mediums of intercellular communication. Based on their natural properties, EVs can not only retain the pharmacological effects of their source cells but also serve as natural delivery carriers. Among them, plant-derived nanovesicles (PNVs) are characterized as natural disease therapeutics with many advantages such as simplicity, safety, eco-friendliness, low cost, and low toxicity due to their abundant resources, large yield, and low risk of immunogenicity in vivo. This review systematically introduces the biogenesis, isolation methods, physical characterization, and components of PNVs, and describes their administration and cellular uptake as therapeutic agents. We highlight the therapeutic potential of PNVs as therapeutic agents and drug delivery carriers, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, wound healing, regeneration, and antiaging properties as well as their potential use in the treatment of liver disease and COVID-19. Finally, the toxicity and immunogenicity, the current clinical application, and the possible challenges in the future development of PNVs were analyzed. We expect the functions of PNVs to be further explored to promote clinical translation, thereby facilitating the development of a new framework for the treatment of human diseases.

Abstract
As ubiquitously expressed transcripts in eukaryotes, circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed and lack a 5'-cap and 3'-polyadenylation (poly (A)) tail. Initially, circRNAs were considered non-coding RNA (ncRNA), and their roles as sponging molecules to adsorb microRNAs have been extensively reported. However, in recent years, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that circRNAs could encode functional polypeptides through the initiation of translation mediated by internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESs) or N6-methyladenosine (m6A). In this review, we collectively discuss the biogenesis, cognate mRNA products, regulatory mechanisms, aberrant expression and biological phenotypes or clinical relevance of all currently reported, cancer-relevant protein-coding circRNAs. Overall, we provide a comprehensive overview of circRNA-encoded proteins and their physiological and pathological functions.

Abstract
Autophagy is an important mechanosensitive response for cellular homeostasis and survival in osteocytes. However, the mechanism and its effect on bone metabolism have not yet clarified. The objective of this study was to evaluate how compressive cyclic force (CCF) induced autophagic response in osteocytes and to determine the effect of mechanically induced-autophagy on bone cells including osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Autophagic puncta observed in MLO-Y4 cells increased after exposure to CCF. The upregulated levels of the LC3-II isoform and the degradation of p62 further confirmed the increased autophagic flux. Additionally, ATP synthesis and release, osteocalcin (OCN) expression, and cell survival increased in osteocytes as well. The Murine osteoblasts MC3T3-E1 cells and RAW 264.7 macrophage cells were cultured in conditioned medium collected from MLO-Y4 cells subjected to CCF. The concentration of FGF23 increased and the concentrations of SOST and M-CSF and RANKL/OPG ratio decreased significantly in the conditioned medium. Moreover, the promotion of osteogenic differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells and inhibition of osteoclastogenesis and function in RAW 264.7 cells were significantly attenuated when osteocytes autophagy was inhibited by siAtg7. Our findings suggested that CCF induced protective autophagy in osteocytes and subsequently enhanced osteocytes survival and osteoblasts differentiation and downregulated osteoclasts activities. Further study revealed that CCF induced autophagic response in osteocytes through mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2) activation. In conclusion, CCF-induced osteocytes autophagy upon mTORC2 activation promoted osteocytes survival and osteogenic response and decreased osteoclastic function. Thus, osteocytes autophagy will provide a promising target for better understanding of bone physiology and treatment of bone diseases.

Abstract
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) is a well-known lyase involved in gluconeogenesis, while their evolution and function differentiation have not been fully understood. In this study, by constructing a phylogenetic tree to examine PEPCKs throughout the evolution from poriferans to vertebrates, Mollusk was highlighted as the only phylum to exhibit two distinct lineages, Mollusca_PEPCK-1 and Mollusca_PEPCK-2. Further study of two representative members from Crassostrea gigas (CgPEPCK-1 and CgPEPCK-2) showed that they both shared conserved sequences and structural characteristics of the catalytic enzyme, while CgPEPCK-2 displayed a higher expression level than CgPEPCK-1 in all tested tissues, and CgPEPCK-1 was specifically implicated in the immune defense against LPS stimulation and Vibrio splendidus infection. Functional analysis revealed that CgPEPCK-2 had stronger enzymatic activity than CgPEPCK-1, while CgPEPCK-1 exhibited stronger binding activity with various PAMPs, and only the protein of CgPEPCK-1 increased significantly in hemolymph during immune stimulation. All results supported that distinct sequence and function differentiations of the PEPCK gene family should have occurred since Mollusk. The more advanced evolutionary branch Mollusca_PEPCK-2 should preserve its essential function as a catalytic enzyme to be more specialized and efficient, while the ancient branch Mollusca_PEPCK-1 probably contained some members, such as CgPEPCK-1, that should be integrated into the immune system as an extracellular immune recognition receptor.

Abstract
Cell-cell interactions are the fundamental behaviors to regulate cellular activities. A comprehensive evaluation of intercellular interactions requires direct profiling of various signaling behaviors simultaneously at the single-cell level, which remains lacking. Herein, an integrative single-cell secretion analysis platform is presented to profile different secreted factors (four proteins, three extracellular vesicles (EV) phenotypes), spatial distances, and migration information (distances and direction) simultaneously from high-throughput paired single cells using an antibody-barcode microchip. Applying the platform to analyze the tumor-stromal and tumor-immune interactions with the human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines and primary OSCC cells reveals that the initial distances between cells would determine their migratory distances and direction to approach stable organization. The cell-cell in close proximity enhances protein secretions while attenuating EV secretions. Migration has a more profound correlation with protein secretions than EV secretions, in which absolute migration distance affects protein secretions significantly but not the direction. These findings highlight the significance of spatial organization in regulating cell signaling behaviors and demonstrate that the integrative single-cell secretion profiling platform is well-suited for a comprehensive dissection of intercellular communication and interactions, providing new avenues for understanding cell-cell interaction biology and how different signaling behaviors coordinate within the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
High blood glucose is one of the risk factors for metabolic disease and INS (insulin) is the key regulatory hormone for glucose homeostasis. Hypoinsulinemia accompanied with hyperglycemia was diagnosed in mice with pancreatic β-cells exhibiting autophagy deficiency; however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. The role of secretory autophagy in the regulation of metabolic syndrome is gaining more attention. Our data demonstrated that increased macroautophagic/autophagic activity leads to induction of insulin secretion in β-cells both in vivo and in vitro under high-glucose conditions. Moreover, proteomic analysis of purified autophagosomes from β-cells identified a group of vesicular transport proteins participating in insulin secretion, implying that secretory autophagy regulates insulin exocytosis. RAB37, a small GTPase, regulates vesicle biogenesis, trafficking, and cargo release. We demonstrated that the active form of RAB37 increased MAP1LC3/LC3 lipidation (LC3-II) and is essential for the promotion of insulin secretion by autophagy, but these phenomena were not observed in rab37 knockout (rab37-/-) cells and mice. Unbalanced insulin and glucose concentration in the blood was improved by manipulating autophagic activity using a novel autophagy inducer niclosamide (an antihelminthic drug) in a high-fat diet (HFD)-obesity mouse model. In summary, we reveal that secretory autophagy promotes RAB37-mediated insulin secretion to maintain the homeostasis of insulin and glucose both in vitro and in vivo.

Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1130468. [PMID: 37065139 PMCID: PMC10102666 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1130468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Understanding how plant pathogenic fungi adapt to their hosts is of critical importance to securing optimal crop productivity. In response to pathogenic attack, plants produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) as part of a multipronged defense response. Pathogens, in turn, have evolved ROS scavenging mechanisms to undermine host defense. Thioredoxins (Trx) are highly conserved oxidoreductase enzymes with a dithiol-disulfide active site, and function as antioxidants to protect cells against free radicals, such as ROS. However, the roles of thioredoxins in Verticillium dahliae, an important vascular pathogen, are not clear. Through proteomics analyses, we identified a putative thioredoxin (VdTrx1) lacking a signal peptide. VdTrx1 was present in the exoproteome of V. dahliae cultured in the presence of host tissues, a finding that suggested that it plays a role in host-pathogen interactions. We constructed a VdTrx1 deletion mutant ΔVdTrx1 that exhibited significantly higher sensitivity to ROS stress, H2O2, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BOOH). In vivo assays by live-cell imaging and in vitro assays by western blotting revealed that while VdTrx1 lacking the signal peptide can be localized within V. dahliae cells, VdTrx1 can also be secreted unconventionally depending on VdVps36, a member of the ESCRT-II protein complex. The ΔVdTrx1 strain was unable to scavenge host-generated extracellular ROS fully during host invasion. Deletion of VdTrx1 resulted in higher intracellular ROS levels of V. dahliae mycelium, displayed impaired conidial production, and showed significantly reduced virulence on Gossypium hirsutum, and model plants, Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana benthamiana. Thus, we conclude that VdTrx1 acts as a virulence factor in V. dahliae.

Proteolytic processing of galectin-3 by meprin metalloproteases is crucial for host-microbiome homeostasis. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2023; 9:eadf4055. [PMID: 37000885 PMCID: PMC10065446 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adf4055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
The metalloproteases meprin α and meprin β are highly expressed in the healthy gut but significantly decreased in inflammatory bowel disease, implicating a protective role in mucosal homeostasis. In the colon, meprin α and meprin β form covalently linked heterodimers tethering meprin α to the plasma membrane, therefore presenting dual proteolytic activity in a unique enzyme complex. To unravel its function, we applied N-terminomics and identified galectin-3 as the major intestinal substrate for meprin α/β heterodimers. Galectin-3-deficient and meprin α/β double knockout mice show similar alterations in their microbiome in comparison to wild-type mice. We further demonstrate that meprin α/β heterodimers differentially process galectin-3 upon bacterial infection, in germ-free, conventionally housed (specific pathogen-free), or wildling mice, which in turn regulates the bacterial agglutination properties of galectin-3. Thus, the constitutive cleavage of galectin-3 by meprin α/β heterodimers may play a key role in colon host-microbiome homeostasis.

Abstract
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) could identify host genetic factors associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The genes or functional DNA elements through which genetic factors affect COVID-19 remain uncharted. The expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) provides a path to assess the correlation between genetic variations and gene expression. Here, we firstly annotated GWAS data to describe genetic effects, obtaining genome-wide mapped genes. Subsequently, the genetic mechanisms and characteristics of COVID-19 were investigated by an integrated strategy that included three GWAS-eQTL analysis approaches. It was found that 20 genes were significantly associated with immunity and neurological disorders, including prior and novel genes such as OAS3 and LRRC37A2. The findings were then replicated in single-cell datasets to explore the cell-specific expression of causal genes. Furthermore, associations between COVID-19 and neurological disorders were assessed as a causal relationship. Finally, the effects of causal protein-coding genes of COVID-19 were discussed using cell experiments. The results revealed some novel COVID-19-related genes to emphasize disease characteristics, offering a broader insight into the genetic architecture underlying the pathophysiology of COVID-19.
