Ni M, Wan D, Wu J, Gong W, Wang J, Zheng Z. Candidate prognostic biomarkers and prediction models for high-grade serous ovarian cancer from urinary proteomics. J Proteomics 2024; 304:105234. [PMID: 38925351 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2024.105234] [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: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is one of the most common histologic types of ovarian cancer. The purpose of this study was to identify potential prognostic biomarkers in urine specimens from patients with HGSOC. First, 56 urine samples with information on relapse-free survival (RFS) months were collected and classified into good prognosis (RFS ≥ 12 months) and poor prognosis (RFS < 12 months) groups. Next, data-independent acquisition (DIA)-based mass spectrometry (MS) analysis was combined with MSFragger-DIA workflow to identify potential prognostic biomarkers in a discovery set (n = 31). With the aid of parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) analysis, four candidate biomarkers (ANXA1, G6PI, SPB3, and SPRR3) were finally validated in both the discovery set and an independent validation set (n = 25). Subsequent RFS and Cox regression analyses confirmed the utility of these candidate biomarkers as independent prognostic factors affecting RFS in patients with HGSOC. Regression models were constructed to predict the 12-month RFS rate, with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values ranging from 0.847 to 0.905. Overall, candidate prognostic biomarkers were identified in urine specimens from patients with HGSOC and prediction models for the 12-month RFS rate constructed. SIGNIFICANCE: OC is one of the leading causes of death due to gynecological malignancies. HGSOC constitutes one of the most common histologic types of OC with aggressive characteristics, accounting for the majority of advanced cases. In cases where patients with advanced HGSOC potentially face high risk of unfavorable prognosis or disease advancement within a 12-month period, intensive medical monitoring is necessary. In the era of precision cancer medicine, accurate prediction of prognosis or 12-month RFS rate is critical for distinguishing patient groups requiring heightened surveillance. Patients could significantly benefit from timely modifications to treatment regimens based on the outcomes of clinical monitoring. Urine is an ideal resource for disease surveillance purposes due to its easy accessibility. Furthermore, molecules excreted in urine are less complex and more stable than those in other liquid samples. In the current study, we identified candidate prognostic biomarkers in urine specimens from patients with HGSOC and constructed prediction models for the 12-month RFS rate.

Lee SC, Huang CH, Oyang YJ, Huang HC, Juan HF. Macrophages as determinants and regulators of systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease. J Transl Med 2024; 22:600. [PMID: 38937794 PMCID: PMC11212242 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-024-05403-4] [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: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the primary cause of mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc), an autoimmune disease characterized by tissue fibrosis. SSc-related ILD (SSc-ILD) occurs more frequently in females aged 30-55 years, whereas idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is more prevalent in males aged 60-75 years. SSc-ILD occurs earlier than IPF and progresses rapidly. FCN1, FABP4, and SPP1 macrophages are involved in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis; SPP1 macrophages demonstrate upregulated expression in both SSc-ILD and IPF. To identify the differences between SSc-ILD and IPF using single-cell analysis, clarify their distinct pathogeneses, and propose directions for prevention and treatment. METHODS We performed single-cell RNA sequencing on NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases GSE159354 and GSE212109, and analyzed lung tissue samples across healthy controls, IPF, and SSc-ILD. The primary measures were the filtered genes integrated with batch correction and annotated cell types for distinguishing patients with SSc-ILD from healthy controls. We proposed an SSc-ILD pathogenesis using cell-cell interaction inferences, and predicted transcription factors regulating target genes using SCENIC. Drug target prediction of the TF gene was performed using Drug Bank Online. RESULTS A subset of macrophages activates the MAPK signaling pathway under oxidative stress. Owing to the lack of inhibitory feedback from ANNEXIN and the autoimmune characteristics, this leads to an earlier onset of lung fibrosis compared to IPF. During initial lung injury, fibroblasts begin to activate the IL6 pathway under the influence of SPP1 alveolar macrophages, but IL6 appears unrelated to other inflammatory and immune cells. This may explain why tocilizumab (an anti-IL6-receptor antibody) only preserves lung function in patients with early SSc-ILD. Finally, we identified BCLAF1 and NFE2L2 as influencers of MAPK activation in macrophages. Metformin downregulates NFE2L2 and could serve as a repurposed drug candidate. CONCLUSIONS SPP1 alveolar macrophages play a role in the profibrotic activity of IPF and SSc-ILD. However, SSc-ILD is influenced by autoimmunity and oxidative stress, leading to the continuous activation of MAPK in macrophages. This may result in an earlier onset of lung fibrosis than in IPF. Such differences could serve as potential research directions for early prevention and treatment.

Laminin-Augmented Decellularized Extracellular Matrix Ameliorating Neural Differentiation and Neuroinflammation in Human Mini-Brains. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2308815.

Abstract
Non-neural extracellular matrix (ECM) has limited application in humanized physiological neural modeling due to insufficient brain-specificity and safety concerns. Although brain-derived ECM contains enriched neural components, certain essential components are partially lost during the decellularization process, necessitating augmentation. Here, it is demonstrated that the laminin-augmented porcine brain-decellularized ECM (P-BdECM) is xenogeneic factor-depleted as well as favorable for the regulation of human neurons, astrocytes, and microglia. P-BdECM composition is comparable to human BdECM regarding brain-specificity through the matrisome and gene ontology-biological process analysis. As augmenting strategy, laminin 111 supplement promotes neural function by synergic effect with laminin 521 in P-BdECM. Annexin A1(ANXA1) and Peroxiredoxin(PRDX) in P-BdECM stabilized microglial and astrocytic behavior under normal while promoting active neuroinflammation in response to neuropathological factors. Further, supplementation of the brain-specific molecule to non-neural matrix also ameliorated glial cell inflammation as in P-BdECM. In conclusion, P-BdECM-augmentation strategy can be used to recapitulate humanized pathophysiological cerebral environments for neurological study.

Abstract
Annexin A1 (A1) has been shown to form a tetrameric complex (A1t) with S100A11 which is implicated in calcium homeostasis and EGFR pathways. In this work, a full-length model of the A1t was generated for the first time. Multiple molecular dynamics simulations were performed on the complete A1t model for several hundred nanoseconds each to assess the structure and dynamics of A1t. These simulations yielded three structures for the A1 N-terminus (ND) which were identified via principal component analysis. The orientations and interactions of the first 11 A1-ND residues for all three structures were conserved, and their binding modes were strikingly similar to those of the Annexin A2 N-terminus in the Annexin A2-p11 tetramer. In this study, we provided detailed atomistic information for the A1t. Strong interactions were identified within the A1t between the A1-ND and both S100A11 monomers. Residues M3, V4, S5, E6, L8, K9, W12, E15, and E18 of A1 were the strongest interactions between A1 and the S100A11 dimer. The different conformations of the A1t were attributed to the interaction between W12 of the A1-ND with M63 of S100A11 which caused a kink in the A1-ND. Cross-correlation analysis revealed strong correlated motion throughout the A1t. Strong positive correlation was observed between the ND and S100A11 in all simulations regardless of conformation. This work suggests that the stable binding of the first 11 residues of A1-ND to S100A11 is potentially a theme for Annexin-S100 complexes and that the flexibility of the A1-ND allows for multiple conformations of the A1t.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Previous studies of neuronal survival have primarily focused on identifying intrinsic mechanisms controlling the process. This study explored how intercellular communication contributes to retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival following optic nerve crush based on single-cell RNA-seq analysis. We observed transcriptomic changes in retinal cells in response to the injury, with astrocytes and Müller glia having the most interactions with RGCs. By comparing RGC subclasses characterized by distinct resilience to cell death, we found that the high-survival RGCs tend to have more ligand-receptor interactions with neighboring cells. We identified 47 interactions stronger in high-survival RGCs, likely mediating neuroprotective effects. We validated one identified target, the μ-opioid receptor (Oprm1), to be neuroprotective in three retinal injury models. Although the endogenous Oprm1 is preferentially expressed in intrinsically photosensitive RGCs, its neuroprotective effect can be transferred to other subclasses by pan-RGC overexpression of Oprm1. Lastly, manipulating the Oprm1 activity improved visual functions in mice.

Bioinorg Chem Appl 2024; 2024:8843214. [PMID: 38204734 PMCID: PMC10776190 DOI: 10.1155/2024/8843214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The crystal adhesion caused by the damage of renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) is the key to the formation of kidney stones. However, no effective preventive drug has been found. This study aims to explore the recovery effects of four Laminaria polysaccharides (SLPs) with different sulfate (-OSO3-) contents on damaged HK-2 cells and the difference in the adhesion of damaged cells to nanometer calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) and calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) before and after recovery. Methods Sodium oxalate (2.6 mmol/L) was used to damage HK-2 cells to establish a damaged model. SLPs (LP0, SLP1, SLP2, and SLP3) with -OSO3- contents of 0.73%, 15.1%, 22.8%, and 31.3%, respectively, were used to restore the damaged cells, and the effects of SLPs on the adhesion of COM and COD, with a size of about 100 nm before and after recovery, were measured. Results The following results were observed after SLPs recovered the damaged HK-2 cells: increased cell viability, restored cell morphology, decreased reactive oxygen levels, increased mitochondrial membrane potential, decreased phosphatidylserine eversion ratio, increased cell migration ability, reduced expression of annexin A1, transmembrane protein, and heat shock protein 90 on the cell surface, and reduced adhesion amount of cells to COM and COD. Under the same conditions, the adhesion ability of cells to COD crystals was weaker than that to COM crystals. Conclusions As the sulfate content in SLPs increases, the ability of SLPs to recover damaged HK-2 cells and inhibit crystal adhesion increases. SLP3 with high -OSO3- content may be a potential drug to prevent kidney stones.

Abstract
So far, tendon regeneration has mainly been analyzed independent from its adjacent tissues. However, the subacromial bursa in particular appears to influence the local inflammatory milieu in the shoulder. The resolution of local inflammation in the shoulder tissues is essential for tendon regeneration, and specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) play a key role in regulating the resolution of inflammation. Here, we aimed to understand the influence of the bursa on disease-associated processes in neighboring tendon healing. Bursa tissue and bursa-derived cells from patients with intact, moderate and severe rotator cuff disease were investigated for the presence of pro-resolving and inflammatory mediators, as well as their effect on tenocytes and sensitivity to mechanical loading by altering SPM signaling mediators in bursa cells. SPM signal mediators were present in the bursae and altered depending on the severity of rotator cuff disease. SPMs were particularly released from the bursal tissue of patients with rotator cuff disease, and the addition of bursa-released factors to IL-1β-challenged tenocytes improved tenocyte characteristics. In addition, mechanical loading modulated pro-resolving processes in bursa cells. In particular, pathological high loading (8% strain) increased the expression and secretion of SPM signaling mediators. Overall, this study confirms the importance of bursae in regulating inflammatory processes in adjacent rotator cuff tendons.

Abstract
Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ECRSwNP) is a subtype of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) that is associated with the nasal cavity and sinus polyps, elevated levels of eosinophils, and dysregulated immune responses to environmental triggers. The underlying cause of ECRSwNP is not well understood, and few studies have focused on the unique features of this subtype of CRS. Our study integrated proteomic and transcriptomic data with multi-omic bioinformatics analyses. We collected nasal polyps from three ECRSwNP patients and three control patients and identified 360 differentially expressed (DE) proteins, including 119 upregulated and 241 downregulated proteins. Functional analyses revealed several significant associations with ECRSwNP, including focal adhesion, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interactions. Additionally, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network revealed seven hub proteins that may play crucial roles in the development of ECRSwNP. We also compared the proteomic data with publicly available transcriptomic data and identified a total of 1077 DE genes. Pathways enriched by the DE genes involved angiogenesis, positive regulation of cell motility, and immune responses. Furthermore, we investigated immune cell infiltration and identified biomarkers associated with eosinophil and M2 macrophage infiltration using CIBERSORT and Weighted Gene Correlation Network Analysis (WGCNA). Our results provide a more complete picture of the immune-related mechanisms underlying ECRSwNP, which could contribute to the development of more precise treatment strategies for this condition.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the skin aging process; however, the mechanisms are not fully elucidated. Especially the changes in various types of skin cells with aging and the key oxidative stress-related genes that play a regulatory role are not clear. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing data and microarray transcriptome data were used to explore the changes in oxidative stress response and oxidant detoxification capacity of skin cells during aging and oxidative stress-related genes potentially involved in regulating skin aging were searched. The oxidative stress response and oxidant detoxification ability were weakened in the elderly compared with those of the young. Among the different types of skin cells, keratinocytes, melanocytes, vascular endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and lymphatic endothelial cells exhibited a stronger oxidative stress response and oxidant detoxification ability, while immune cells exhibited a weaker oxidative stress response and detoxification capacity. During aging, the oxidative stress response and oxidant detoxification capacity of keratinocytes, fibroblasts, macrophages, and vascular endothelial cells were significantly weakened. Annexin A1 (ANXA1) and Apolipoprotein E (APOE) may be key oxidative stress-related genes affecting skin aging.

Anti-Inflammatory and Pro-Resolving Actions of the N-Terminal Peptides Ac2-26, Ac2-12, and Ac9-25 of Annexin A1 on Conjunctival Goblet Cell Function. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2023; 193:1817-1832. [PMID: 37423551 PMCID: PMC10616711 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2023.05.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
Annexin A1 (AnxA1) is the primary mediator of the anti-inflammatory actions of glucocorticoids. AnxA1 functions as a pro-resolving mediator in cultured rat conjunctival goblet cells to ensure tissue homeostasis through stimulation of intracellular [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) and mucin secretion. AnxA1 has several N-terminal peptides with anti-inflammatory properties of their own, including Ac2-26, Ac2-12, and Ac9-25. The increase in [Ca2+]i caused by AnxA1 and its N-terminal peptides in goblet cells was measured to determine the formyl peptide receptors used by the compounds and the action of the peptides on histamine stimulation. Changes in [Ca2+]i were determined by using a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator. AnxA1 and its peptides each activated formyl peptide receptors in goblet cells. AnxA1 and Ac2-26 at 10-12 mol/L and Ac2-12 at 10-9 mol/L inhibited the histamine-stimulated increase in [Ca2+]i, as did resolvin D1 and lipoxin A4 at 10-12 mol/L, whereas Ac9-25 did not. AnxA1 and Ac2-26 counter-regulated the H1 receptor through the p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular regulated kinase 1/2, β-adrenergic receptor kinase, and protein kinase C pathways, whereas Ac2-12 counter-regulated only through β-adrenergic receptor kinase. In conclusion, current data show that the N-terminal peptides Ac2-26 and Ac2-12, but not Ac9-25, share multiple functions with the full-length AnxA1 in goblet cells, including inhibition of histamine-stimulated increase in [Ca2+]i and counter-regulation of the H1 receptor. These actions suggest a potential pharmaceutical application of the AnxA1 N-terminal peptides Ac2-26 and Ac2-12 in homeostasis and ocular inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Cancers are genetically driven, rogue tissues which generate dysfunctional, obdurate organs by hijacking normal, homeostatic programs. Apoptosis is an evolutionarily conserved regulated cell death program and a profoundly important homeostatic mechanism that is common (alongside tumor cell proliferation) in actively growing cancers, as well as in tumors responding to cytotoxic anti-cancer therapies. Although well known for its cell-autonomous tumor-suppressive qualities, apoptosis harbors pro-oncogenic properties which are deployed through non-cell-autonomous mechanisms and which generally remain poorly defined. Here, the roles of apoptosis in tumor biology are reviewed, with particular focus on the secreted and fragmentation products of apoptotic tumor cells and their effects on tumor-associated macrophages, key supportive cells in the aberrant homeostasis of the tumor microenvironment. Historical aspects of cell loss in tumor growth kinetics are considered and the impact (and potential impact) on tumor growth of apoptotic-cell clearance (efferocytosis) as well as released soluble and extracellular vesicle-associated factors are discussed from the perspectives of inflammation, tissue repair, and regeneration programs. An "apoptosis-centric" view is proposed in which dying tumor cells provide an important platform for intricate intercellular communication networks in growing cancers. The perspective has implications for future research and for improving cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Fetal skin achieves scarless wound repair. Dermal fibroblasts play a central role in extracellular matrix deposition and scarring outcomes. Both fetal and gingival wound repair share minimal scarring outcomes. We tested the hypothesis that compared to adult skin fibroblasts, human fetal skin fibroblast diversity is unique and partly overlaps with gingival skin fibroblasts. Human fetal skin (FS, n = 3), gingiva (HGG, n = 13), and mature skin (MS, n = 13) were compared at single-cell resolution. Dermal fibroblasts, the most abundant cluster, were examined to establish a connectome with other skin cells. Annexin1-FPR1 signaling pathway was dominant in both FS as well as HGG fibroblasts and related myeloid cells while scanty in MS fibroblasts. Myeloid-specific FPR1-ORF delivered in murine wound edge using tissue nanotransfection (TNT) technology significantly enhanced the quality of healing. Pseudotime analyses identified the co-existence of an HGG fibroblast subset with FPR1high myeloid cells of fetal origin indicating common underlying biological processes.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence indicates that the anticancer effect of the immune system can be activated by the immunogenic modulation of dying cancer cells. Cancer cell death, as a result of the activation of an immunomodulatory response, is called immunogenic cell death (ICD). This regulated cell death occurs because of increased immunogenicity of cancer cells undergoing ICD. ICD plays a crucial role in stimulating immune system activity in cancer therapy. ICD can therefore be an innovative route to improve anticancer immune responses associated with releasing damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Several conventional and chemotherapeutics, as well as preclinically investigated compounds from natural sources, possess immunostimulatory properties by ICD induction. Natural compounds have gained much interest in cancer therapy owing to their low toxicity, low cost, and inhibiting cancer cells by interfering with different mechanisms, which are critical in cancer progression. Therefore, identifying natural compounds with ICD-inducing potency presents agents with promising potential in cancer immunotherapy. Naturally derived compounds are believed to act as immunoadjuvants because they elicit cancer stress responses and DAMPs. Acute exposure to DAMP molecules can activate antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells (DCs), which leads to downstream events by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer cells (NKs). Natural compounds as inducers of ICD may be an interesting approach to ICD induction; however, parameters that determine whether a compound can be used as an ICD inducer should be elucidated. Here, we aimed to discuss the impact of multiple ICD inducers, mainly focusing on natural agents, including plant-derived, marine molecules, and bacterial-based compounds, on the release of DAMP molecules and the activation of the corresponding signaling cascades triggering immune responses. In addition, the potential of synthetic agents for triggering ICD is also discussed.

Abstract
Testicular development is an intricate and coordinated process in which thousands of proteins are involved in the regulation of somatic cells development and spermatogenesis. However, knowledge about the proteomic changes during postnatal testicular development in Hu sheep is still elusive. The study was conducted to characterize the protein profiles at four key stages during postnatal testicular development, including infant (0-month-old, M0), puberty (3-month-old, M3), sexual maturity (6-month-old, M6) and body maturity (12-month-old, M12), and between the large- and small-testis groups at 6 months in Hu sheep. Consequently, 5252 proteins were identified using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods, and 465, 1261, 231 and 1080 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) were found between M0_vs_M3, M3_vs_M6L, M6L_vs_M12, and M6L_vs_M6S, respectively. GO and KEGG analysis revealed that the majority of DAPs were involved in cellular process, metabolic process and immune system-related pathways. Furthermore, a protein-protein interaction network was constructed using 86 fertility-related DAPs, and five proteins with the highest degree were represented as hub proteins, including CTNNB1, ADAM2, ACR, HSPA2 and GRB2. This study provided new insights into the regulation mechanisms of postnatal testicular development and identified several potential biomarkers for selecting the high-fertility rams. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: Testicular development is an intricate developmental process in which thousands of proteins are involved in regulating the somatic cells development and spermatogenesis. However, knowledge about the proteome changes during postnatal testicular development in Hu sheep is still elusive. This study provides comprehensive insights into the dynamic changes in the sheep testis proteome during postnatal testicular development. Additionally, testis size is positively correlated with semen quality and ejaculation volume, also for the merits of easy measurement, high heritability and selection efficiency, is an important indicator to select candidate rams with high fertility. The functional analyses of the acquired candidate proteins may help us gain a better understanding of the molecular regulatory mechanisms of testicular development.

Abstract
Normally, the host immunological response to viral infection is coordinated to restore homeostasis and protect the individual from possible tissue damage. The two major approaches are adopted by the host to deal with the pathogen: resistance or tolerance. The nature of the responses often differs between species and between individuals of the same species. Resistance includes innate and adaptive immune responses to control virus replication. Disease tolerance relies on the immune response allowing the coexistence of infections in the host with minimal or no clinical signs, while maintaining sufficient viral replication for transmission. Here, we compared the virome of bats, rodents and migratory birds and the molecular mechanisms underlying symptomatic and asymptomatic disease progression. We also explore the influence of the host physiology and environmental influences on RNA virus expression and how it impacts on the whole brain transcriptome of seemingly healthy semipalmated sandpiper (Calidris pusilla) and spotted sandpiper (Actitis macularius). Three time points throughout the year were selected to understand the importance of longitudinal surveys in the characterization of the virome. We finally revisited evidence that upstream and downstream regulation of the inflammatory response is, respectively, associated with resistance and tolerance to viral infections.

Abstract
The progressive death of mature neurons often results in neurodegenerative diseases. While the previous studies have mostly focused on identifying intrinsic mechanisms controlling neuronal survival, the extracellular environment also plays a critical role in regulating cell viability. Here we explore how intercellular communication contributes to the survival of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) following the optic nerve crush (ONC). Although the direct effect of the ONC is restricted to the RGCs, we observed transcriptomic responses in other retinal cells to the injury based on the single-cell RNA-seq, with astrocytes and Müller glia having the most interactions with RGCs. By comparing the RGC subclasses showing distinct resilience to ONC-induced cell death, we found that the high-survival RGCs tend to have more ligand-receptor interactions with other retinal cells, suggesting that these RGCs are intrinsically programmed to foster more communication with their surroundings. Furthermore, we identified top 47 interactions that are stronger in the high-survival RGCs, likely representing neuroprotective interactions. We performed functional assays on one of the receptors, μ opioid receptor (Oprm1), a receptor known to play roles in regulating pain, reward, and addictive behavior. Although Oprm1 is preferentially expressed in intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), its neuroprotective effect could be transferred to multiple RGC subclasses by specific overexpressing Oprm1 in pan-RGCs in ONC, excitotoxicity, and glaucoma models. Lastly, manipulating Oprm1 activity improved visual functions and altered pupillary light response in mice. Our study provides an atlas of cell-cell interactions in both intact and post-ONC retina and an effective strategy to predict molecular mechanisms in neuroprotection, underlying the principal role played by extracellular environment in supporting neuron survival.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-enclosed subcellular bodies produced by most, if not all cells. Research over the last two decades has recognised the importance of EVs in intercellular communication and horizontal transfer of biological material. EVs range in diameter from tens of nanometres up to several micrometres and are able to transfer a spectrum of biologically active cargoes - from whole organelles, through macromolecules including nucleic acids and proteins, to metabolites and small molecules - from their cells of origin to recipient cells, which may consequently become physiologically or pathologically altered. Based on their modes of biogenesis, the most renowned EV classes are (1) microvesicles, (2) exosomes (both produced by healthy cells), and (3) EVs from cells undergoing regulated death by apoptosis (ApoEVs). Microvesicles bud directly from the plasma membrane, while exosomes are derived from endosomal compartments. Current knowledge of the formation and functional properties of ApoEVs lags behind that of microvesicles and exosomes, but burgeoning evidence indicates that ApoEVs carry manifold cargoes, including mitochondria, ribosomes, DNA, RNAs, and proteins, and perform diverse functions in health and disease. Here we review this evidence, which demonstrates substantial diversity in the luminal and surface membrane cargoes of ApoEVs, permitted by their very broad size range (from around 50 nm to >5 μm; the larger often termed apoptotic bodies), strongly suggests their origins through both microvesicle- and exosome-like biogenesis pathways, and indicates routes through which they interact with recipient cells. We discuss the capacity of ApoEVs to recycle cargoes and modulate inflammatory, immunological, and cell fate programmes in normal physiology and in pathological scenarios such as cancer and atherosclerosis. Finally, we provide a perspective on clinical applications of ApoEVs in diagnostics and therapeutics. © 2023 The Authors.

Peerapen P, Boonmark W, Thongboonkerd V. Characterizations of annexin A1-interacting proteins in apical membrane and cytosolic compartments of renal tubular epithelial cells. Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2023; 21:3796-3809. [PMID: 37560129 PMCID: PMC10407547 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2023.07.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Annexin A1 (ANXA1) is a multifunctional calcium-binding protein that can bind to membrane phospholipids. Under high-calcium condition, ANXA1 expression increases on renal epithelial cell surface, leading to enhanced adhesion of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal (stone material) onto the cells. To regulate various cellular processes, ANXA1 interacts with many other intracellular protein partners. However, components of the ANXA1-interacting protein complex remain unclear. Herein, we characterized the interacting complexes of apical membrane (ApANXA1) and cytosolic (cyANXA1) forms of ANXA1 in apical membrane and cytosolic compartments, respectively, of renal epithelial cells under high-calcium condition using proteomic and bioinformatic approaches. After fractionation, the ApANXA1- and CyANXA1-interacting partners were identified by immunoprecipitation followed by nanoLC‑ESI‑Qq-TOF tandem mass spectrometry (IP-MS/MS). The ANXA1-interacting partners that were common in both apical membrane and cytosolic compartments and those unique in each compartment were then analyzed for their physico-chemical properties (molecular weight, isoelectric point, amino acid contents, instability index, aliphatic index, and grand average of hydropathicity), secondary structure (α-helix, β-turn, random coil, and extended strand), molecular functions, biological processes, reactome pathways and KEGG pathways. The data demonstrated that each set of these interacting proteins exhibited common and unique characteristics and properties. The knowledge from this study may lead to better understanding of the ApANXA1 and CyAXNA1 biochemistry and functions as well as the pathophysiology of CaOx kidney stone formation induced by high-calcium condition.

Abstract
The progressive death of mature neurons often results in neurodegenerative diseases. While the previous studies have mostly focused on identifying intrinsic mechanisms controlling neuronal survival, the extracellular environment also plays a critical role in regulating cell viability. Here we explore how intercellular communication contributes to the survival of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) following the optic nerve crush (ONC). Although the direct effect of the ONC is restricted to the RGCs, we observed transcriptomic responses in other retinal cells to the injury based on the single-cell RNA-seq, with astrocytes and Müller glia having the most interactions with RGCs. By comparing the RGC subclasses with distinct resilience to ONC-induced cell death, we found that the high-survival RGCs tend to have more ligand-receptor interactions with other retinal cells, suggesting that these RGCs are intrinsically programmed to foster more communication with their surroundings. Furthermore, we identified the top 47 interactions that are stronger in the high-survival RGCs, likely representing neuroprotective interactions. We performed functional assays on one of the receptors, μ-opioid receptor (Oprm1), a receptor known to play roles in regulating pain, reward, and addictive behavior. Although Oprm1 is preferentially expressed in intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGC), its neuroprotective effect could be transferred to multiple RGC subclasses by selectively overexpressing Oprm1 in pan-RGCs in ONC, excitotoxicity, and glaucoma models. Lastly, manipulating Oprm1 activity improved visual functions or altered pupillary light response in mice. Our study provides an atlas of cell-cell interactions in intact and post-ONC retina, and a strategy to predict molecular mechanisms controlling neuroprotection, underlying the principal role played by extracellular environment in supporting neuron survival.

Abstract
In vitro modeling of human peri-gastrulation development is a valuable tool for understanding embryogenetic mechanisms. The extraembryonic mesoderm (ExM) is crucial in supporting embryonic development by forming tissues such as the yolk sac, allantois, and chorionic villi. However, the origin of human ExM remains only partially understood. While evidence suggests a primitive endoderm (PrE) origin based on morphological findings, current in vitro models use epiblast-like cells. To address this gap, we developed a protocol to generate ExM-like cells from PrE-like cell line called naïve extraembryonic endoderm (nEnd). We identified the ExM-like cells by specific markers (LUM and ANXA1). Moreover, these in vitro-produced ExM cells displayed angiogenic potential on a soft matrix, mirroring their physiological role in vasculogenesis. By integrating single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) data, we found that the ExM-like cells clustered with the LUM/ANXA1-rich cell populations of the gastrulating embryo, indicating similarity between in vitro and ex utero cell populations. This study confirms the derivation of ExM from PrE and establishes a cell culture system that can be utilized to investigate ExM during human peri-gastrulation development, both in monolayer cultures and more complex models.

Abstract
The annexin superfamily (ANXA) is made up of 12 calcium (Ca2+) and phospholipid binding protein members that have a high structural homology and play a key function in cancer cells. However, little research has been done on the annexin family's function in pan-cancer. We examined the ANXA family's expression in various tumors through public databases using bioinformatics analysis, assessed the differences in ANXA expression between tumor and normal tissues in pan-cancer, and then investigated the relationship between ANXA expression and patient survival, prognosis, and clinicopathologic traits. Additionally, we investigated the relationships among TCGA cancers' mutations, tumor mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), immunological subtypes, immune infiltration, tumor microenvironment, immune checkpoint genes, chemotherapeutics sensitivity, and ANXAs expression. cBioPortal was also used to uncover pan-cancer genomic anomalies in the ANXA family, study relationships between pan-cancer ANXA mRNA expression and copy number or somatic mutations, and assess the prognostic values of these variations. Moreover, we investigated the relationship between ANXAs expression and effectiveness of immunotherapy in multiple cohorts, including one melanoma (GSE78220), one renal cell carcinoma (GSE67501), and three bladder cancer cohorts (GSE111636, IMvigor210 and our own sequencing dataset (TRUCE-01)), and further analyzed the changes of ANXAs expression before and after treatment (tislelizumab combined with nab-paclitaxel) of bladder cancer. Then, we explored the biological function and potential signaling pathway of ANXAs using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), and first conducted immune infiltration analysis with ANXAs family genes expression, copy number, or somatic mutations of bladder cancer by TIMER 2.0. Most cancer types and surrounding normal tissues expressed ANXA differently. ANXA expression was linked to patient survival, prognosis, clinicopathologic features, mutations, TMB, MSI, immunological subtypes, tumor microenvironment, immune cell infiltration, and immune checkpoint gene expression in 33 TCGA cancers, with ANXA family members varied. The anticancer drug sensitivity analysis showed that ANXAs family members were significantly related to a variety of drug sensitivities. In addition, we also discovered that the expression level of ANXA1/2/3/4/5/7/9/10 was positively or negatively correlated with objective responses to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 across multiple immunotherapy cohorts. The immune infiltration analysis of bladder cancer further showed the significant relationships between ANXAs copy number variations or mutation status, and infiltration level of different immune cells. Overall, our analyses confirm the importance of ANXAs expression or genomic alterations in prognosis and immunological features of various cancer and identified ANXA-associated genes that may serve as potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Annexins (ANXs) exert different functions in cell biological and pathological processes and are thus known as double or multi-faceted proteins. These sophisticated proteins might express on both parasite structure and secretion and in parasite-infected host cells. In addition to the characterization of these pivotal proteins, describing their mechanism of action can be also fruitful in recognizing their roles in the pathogenesis of parasitic infections. Accordingly, this study presents the most prominent ANXs thus far identified and their relevant functions in parasites and infected host cells during pathogenesis, especially in the most important intracellular protozoan parasitic infections including leishmaniasis, toxoplasmosis, malaria and trypanosomiasis. The data provided in this study demonstrate that the helminth parasites most probably express and secret ANXs to develop pathogenesis while the modulation of the host-ANXs could be employed as a crucial strategy by intracellular protozoan parasites. Moreover, such data highlight that the use of analogs of both parasite and host ANX peptides (which mimic or regulate ANXs physiological functions through various strategies) might suggest novel therapeutic insights into the treatment of parasitic infections. Furthermore, due to the prominent immunoregulatory activities of ANXs during most parasitic infections and the expression levels of these proteins in some parasitic infected tissues, such multifunctional proteins might be also potentially relevant as vaccine and diagnostic biomarkers. We also suggest some prospects and insights that could be useful and applicable to form the basis of future experimental studies.

Abstract
Dysregulated inflammatory responses are often correlated with disease severity during viral infections. Annexin A1 (AnxA1) is an endogenous pro-resolving protein that timely regulates inflammation by activating signaling pathways that culminate with the termination of response, clearance of pathogen and restoration of tissue homeostasis. Harnessing the pro-resolution actions of AnxA1 holds promise as a therapeutic strategy to control the severity of the clinical presentation of viral infections. In contrast, AnxA1 signaling might also be hijacked by viruses to promote pathogen survival and replication. Therefore, the role of AnxA1 during viral infections is complex and dynamic. In this review, we provide an in-depth view of the role of AnxA1 during viral infections, from pre-clinical to clinical studies. In addition, this review discusses the therapeutic potential for AnxA1 and AnxA1 mimetics in treating viral infections.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) -induced lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains a large challenge in cardiac surgery; up to date, no effective treatment has been found. Annexin A1 (AnxA1) has an anti-inflammatory effect, and it has been proven to have a protective effect on CPB-induced lung injury. However, the specific mechanism of AnxA1 in CPB-induced lung injury is not well studied. Therefore, we established a CPB-induced lung injury model to explore the relevant mechanism of AnxA1 and try to find an effective treatment for lung protection. METHODS Male rats were randomized into five groups (n = 6, each): sham (S group), I/R exposure (I/R group), I/R + dimethyl sulfoxide (D group), I/R + Ac2-26 (AnxA1 peptide) (A group), and I/R + LY294002 (a PI3K specific inhibitor) (AL group). Arterial blood gas analysis and calculation of the oxygenation index, and respiratory index were performed. The morphological changes in lung tissues were observed under light and electron microscopes. TNF-α and IL-6 and total protein in lung bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were detected via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expressions of PI3K, Akt, and NF-κB (p65) as well as p-PI3K, p-Akt, p-NF-κB (p65), and AnxA1 were detected via western blotting. RESULTS Compared with the I/R group, the A group showed the following: lower lung pathological damage score; decreased expression of IL-6 and total protein in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and TNF-α in the lung; increased lung oxygenation index; and improved lung function. These imply the protective role of Ac2-26, and show that LY294002 inhibited the ameliorative preconditioning effect of Ac2-26. CONCLUSION This finding suggested that the AnxA1 peptide Ac2-26 decreased the inflammation reaction and CPB-induced lung injury in rats, the lung protective effects of AnxA1may be correlated with the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
The latest WHO report determined the increasing diversity within the CoV-2 omicron and its descendent lineages. Some heavily mutated offshoots of BA.5 and BA.2, such as BA.4.6, BF.7, BQ.1.1, and BA.2.75, are responsible for about 20% of infections and are spreading rapidly in multiple countries. It is a sign that Omicron subvariants are now developing a capacity to be more immune escaping and may contribute to a new wave of COVID-19. Covid-19 infections often induce many alterations in human physiological defense and the natural control systems, with exacerbated activation of the inflammatory and homeostatic response, as for any infectious diseases. Severe activation of the early phase of hemostatic components, often occurs, leading to thrombotic complications and often contributing to a lethal outcome selectively in certain populations. Development of autoimmune complications increases the disease burden and lowers its prognosis. While the true mechanism still remains unclear, it is believed to mainly be related to the host autoimmune responses as demonstrated, only in some patients suffering from the presence of autoantibodies that worsens the disease evolution. In fact in some studies the development of autoantibodies to angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) was identified, and in other studies autoantibodies, thought to be targeting interferon or binding to annexin A1, or autoantibodies to phospholipids were seen. Moreover, the occurrence of autoimmune heparin induced thrombocytopenia has also been described in infected patients treated with heparin for controlling thrombogenicity. This commentary focuses on the presence of various autoantibodies reported so far in Covid-19 diseases, exploring their association with the disease course and the durability of some related symptoms. Attempts are also made to further analyze the potential mechanism of actions and link the presence of antibodies with pathological complications.

Abstract
Bladder cancer, one of the most prevalent malignant cancers, has high rate of recurrence and metastasis. Owing to genomic instability and high-level heterogeneity of bladder cancer, chemotherapy and immunotherapy drugs sensitivity and lack of prognostic markers, the prognosis of bladder cancer is unclear. Necroptosis is a programmed modality of necrotic cell death in a caspase-independent form. Despite the fact that necroptosis plays a critical role in tumor growth, cancer metastasis, and cancer patient prognosis, necroptosis-related gene sets have rarely been studied in bladder cancer. As a result, the development of new necroptosis-related prognostic indicators for bladder cancer patients is critical. Herein, we assessed the necroptosis landscape of bladder cancer patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and classified them into two unique necroptosis-related patterns, using the consensus clustering. Then, using five prognosis-related genes, we constructed a prognostic model (risk score), which contained 5 genes (ANXA1, DOK7, FKBP10, MAP1B and SPOCD1). And a nomogram model was also developed to offer the clinic with a more useful prognostic indicator. We found that risk score was significantly associated with clinicopathological characteristics, TIME, and tumor mutation burden in patients with bladder cancer. Moreover, risk score was a valid guide for immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted drugs. In our study, DOK7 was chosen to further verify our prognosis model, and functional assays indicated that knockdown the expression of DOK7 could prompt bladder cancer proliferation and migration. Our work demonstrated the potential role of prognostic model based on necroptosis genes in the prognosis, immune landscape and response efficacy of immunotherapy of bladder cancer.

Implicative role of epidermal growth factor receptor and its associated signaling partners in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Ageing Res Rev 2023; 83:101791. [PMID: 36403890 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2022.101791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a pivotal role in early brain development, although its expression pattern declines in accordance with the maturation of the active nervous system. However, recurrence of EGFR expression in brain cells takes place during neural functioning decline and brain atrophy in order to maintain the homeostatic neuronal pool. As a consequence, neurotoxic lesions such as amyloid beta fragment (Aβ1-42) formed during the alternative splicing of amyloid precursor protein in Alzheimer's disease (AD) elevate the expression of EGFR. This inappropriate peptide deposition on EGFR results in the sustained phosphorylation of the downstream signaling axis, leading to extensive Aβ1-42 production and tau phosphorylation as subsequent pathogenesis. Recent reports convey that the pathophysiology of AD is correlated with EGFR and its associated membrane receptor complex molecules. One such family of molecules is the annexin superfamily, which has synergistic relationships with EGFR and is known for membrane-bound signaling that contributes to a variety of inflammatory responses. Besides, Galectin-3, tissue-type activated plasminogen activator, and many more, which lineate the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-18) result in severe neuronal loss. Altogether, we emphasized the perspectives of cellular senescence up-regulated by EGFR and its associated membrane receptor molecules in the pathogenesis of AD as a target for a therapeutical alternative to intervene in AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that affects the intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts. The present study examined the utility of a bile proteome analysis using a high-sensitivity mass spectrometer to comprehensively screen for novel PSC biomarkers. METHODS Bile endoscopically collected from patients with PSC, common bile duct stones, and biliary tract cancer were subjected to high-precision liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Some of the proteins specifically up-regulated in the bile of the PSC group were re-examined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS A total of 8094 proteins were successfully identified and 332 were specifically up-regulated in the PSC group. The bioinformatics analysis showed that proteins involved in the proliferation and activation of diverse inflammatory cells were up-regulated in the PSC group. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed good area under the curve values for interleukin-8 and annexin A1 (ANXA1) (0.836 and 0.914, respectively). Immunostaining for ANXA1 revealed its strong expression in inflammatory cells infiltrating the peripheral biliary tract in PSC livers. CONCLUSION A bile proteome analysis is a useful tool for elucidating the pathogenesis of PSC and developing new diagnostic approaches. Therefore, ANXA1 has potential as a bile biomarker for PSC.

[PMID: 36644197 PMCID: PMC9834584 DOI: 10.21037/tcr-22-1544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 11/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objective Annexin A1 (annexin I, ANXA1), the first discovered member of the annexin superfamily, plays important roles in tumor development, invasion, metastasis, apoptosis and drug resistance based on tumor type-specific patterns of expression. The acquisition of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) characteristics is an essential mechanism of metastasis because they increase the mobility and invasiveness of cancer cells. Cancer invasion and metastasis remain major health problems worldwide. Elucidating the role and mechanism of ANXA1 in the occurrence of EMT will help advance the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Hence, this review aims to attract everyone's attention to the important role of ANXA1 in tumors and provide new ideas for clinical tumor treatment. Methods The PubMed database was mainly used to search for various English research papers and reviews related to the role of ANXA1 in tumors and EMT published from November 1994 to April 2022. The search terms used mainly include ANXA1, EMT, tumor, cancer, carcinoma, and mechanism. Key Content and Findings This article mainly provides a summary of the roles of ANXA1 and EMT in tumor metastasis as well as the various mechanisms via which ANXA1 facilitates the occurrence of EMT, thereby affecting tumor metastasis. In addition, the expression of ANXA1 in different metastatic tumor cell lines and its roles in tumorigenesis and development are also elaborated. This article has found many tumorous therapeutic targets related to ANXA1 and EMT, further confirming that ANXA1 has a huge potential for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of certain cancers. Conclusions Both the abnormal expression of ANXA1 and the occurrence of EMT are closely related to the invasion and metastasis of tumors, and more interestingly, ANXA1 can impact EMT directly or indirectly by mediating signaling pathways and adhesion among cells. We need more studies to elucidate the effects of ANXA1 on tumor invasion, migration and metastasis through EMT in vitro and in vivo clearly, and ultimately in patients to identify more therapeutic targets.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Wound healing is a complex process that can leave pathological scars, especially in case of infections from opportunistic microorganisms. In this context, herbal medicines open up great possibilities for investigation. One of the species of interest native to Brazil is Garcinia brasiliensis ("bacupari"). Traditionally known for treating wounds and ulcers, G. brasiliensis presents anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobials properties. But, its wound healing profile in experimental models, in order to validate its efficacy, is still litle studied. AIM OF THE STUDY Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate, in an infected cutanous wound model, the potential of formulations incorporated with G. brasiliensis leaves extracts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Crude extract (CE), Ethyl Acetate Fraction (EAF) and Hexanic Fraction (HF) were submitted to phytochemical assays, high performance thin layer chromatography (HTPLC) and cytotoxicity studies. CE and EAF were also tested for microbicidal properties and incorporated in cream and gel formulations at 10% concentration. After stability testing, the gel formulations with CE or EAF at 10% were selected and applied to skin wounds infected or not with Staphylococcus aureus in Wistar rats. The healing potenttial of the extracts was verified by the expression of the protein Annexin A1 (AnxA1), related to the processes of inflammation and antifibrotic function, the cells immunostaining for Gasdermin-D (GSDM-D), a marker of pyroptotic cell death, and the dosage of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 inflammatory mediators. RESULTS Phytochemical studies indicated the presence of compounds of pharmacological interest, including Catechin, Quercetin and Berberine in addition to low cytotoxicity of CE and EAF at 10%. After the 6-day topical treatments, CE and EAF gel formulations demonstrated to control the pruritus formation process. The treatments decreased AnxA1 expression and the amount of cells immunostained for GSDM-D, and increased the expression of MCP-1 in infected wounds. CONCLUSIONS Together, the results show important anti-inflammatory profile and skin healing potential of CE and EAF from G. brasiliensis leaves, even in infected lesions, with therapeutic perspectives.

Abstract
The unbiased approaches of the last decade have enabled the collection of new data on the biology of annexin A1 (ANXA1) in a variety of scientific aspects, creating opportunities for new biomarkers and/or therapeutic purposes. ANXA1 is found in the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus, being described at low levels in the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments of placental cells related to gestational diabetic diseases, and its translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus has been associated with a response to DNA damage. The approaches presented here open pathways for reflection upon, and intrinsic clarification of, the modulating action of this protein in the response to genetic material damage, as well as its level of expression and cellular localization. The objective of this study is to arouse interest, with an emphasis on the mechanisms of nuclear translocation of ANXA1, which remain underexplored and may be beneficial in new inflammatory therapies.

Abstract
Annexin A1, a well-known endogenous anti-inflammatory mediator, plays a critical role in a variety of pathological processes. Fibrosis is described by a failure of tissue regeneration and contributes to the development of many diseases. Accumulating evidence supports that Annexin A1 participates in the progression of tissue fibrosis. However, the fundamental mechanisms by which Annexin A1 regulates fibrosis remain elusive, and even the functions of Annexin A1 in fibrotic diseases are still paradoxical. This review focuses on the roles of Annexin A1 in the development of fibrosis of lung, liver, heart, and other tissues, with emphasis on the therapy potential of Annexin A1 in fibrosis, and presents future research interests and directions in fibrotic diseases.

Abstract
Methylmalonic aciduria cblB type (MMA cblB type, MMAB OMIM #251110), caused by a deficiency in the enzyme ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase (ATR, E.C_2. 5.1.17), is a severe metabolic disorder with a poor prognosis despite treatment. We recently described the potential therapeutic use of pharmacological chaperones (PCs) after increasing the residual activity of ATR in patient-derived fibroblasts. The present work reports the successful generation of hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) differentiated from two healthy and two MMAB induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines, and the use of this platform for testing the effects of PCs. The MMAB cells produced little ATR, showed reduced residual ATR activity, and had higher concentrations of methylmalonic acid compared to healthy HLCs. Differential proteome analysis revealed the two MMAB HCLs to show reproducible differentiation, but this was not so for the healthy HLCs. Interestingly, PC treatment in combination with vitamin B12 increased the amount of ATR available, and subsequently ATR activity, in both MMAB HLCs. More importantly, the treatment significantly reduced the methylmalonic acid content of both. In summary, the HLC model would appear to be an excellent candidate for the pharmacological testing of the described PCs, for analyzing the effects of new drugs, and investigating the repurposing of older drugs, before testing in animal models.

Abstract
PURPOSE Retinal ischemia is the main reason for vision threatening. Inflammation and aberrant angiogenesis play an important role in the pathogenesis of ischemia. Annexin A1 is an endogenous protein modulating anti-inflammatory processes, and its therapeutic potential has been reported in a range of inflammatory diseases. However, the effect of annexin A1 on ischemic retinal injury has not been examined. METHODS Expression of annexin A1 was assessed by real time PCR and western blotting, and location of annexin A1 was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining in retina of OIR. The activation of annexin A1 were assayed in HRECs after hypoxia stimuli. The effect of annexin A1 on vascularization of OIR mouse through quantification vaso-obliteration and neovascularization, as well as expression of relevant angiogenic factors and inflammatory cytokines was compared between wild type and annexin A1 deficiency mice. We also investigated the effect of annexin A1 on retinal neuronal degeneration as measured by ERG and OCT. RESULTS In retinas of OIR, the expression of annexin A1 significantly increased and located in inner retinal layers. Annexin A1 was induced in HRECs after hypoxic stimuli. Furthermore, annexin A1 deficiency increased pro-angiogenic and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Ablation of annexin A1 suppressed aortic outgrowth and retinal reparative revascularization and promoted pathological neovascularization to exacerbate retinal dysfunction after ischemia injury. CONCLUSION Annexin A1 inhibits angiogenic and inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotes reparative angiogenesis, thus exhibits neuronal protective function in ischemic retinopathy.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia with adverse clinical outcomes. Pericardial fluid (PF) mirrors the heart’s pathophysiological status due to its proximity. This study aimed to characterise the PF proteome to identify new biomarkers of disease. Eighty-three patients submitted to aortic valve replacement surgery with severe aortic stenosis were selected, and their baseline echocardiographic and clinical variables were documented. Thirteen samples were selected blindly for proteome characterisation following a shotgun (GeLC–MS/MS) and a label-free quantification approach (LFQ). According to previous AF history, a partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was conducted, and the top 15 variables important in projection were identified. To inquire potential biomarkers, ROC curves were designed using LFQ data. Target proteins were further validated by ELISA, in both pericardial fluid and serum. Proteome analysis uncovered nine proteins up- and downregulated ≥2-fold. Annexin A1, annexin A2, and vimentin were among the top 15 most important variables for group discrimination in PLS-DA. Protein—protein interaction and gene ontology enrichment analysis presented functional interaction among identified proteins, which were all part of focal adhesion sites. Annexin A1 was increased in the pericardial fluid of AF patients but not in serum when quantified by ELISA. Annexin A1 is a novel pericardial fluid biomarker of AF in patients with severe aortic stenosis.

Abstract
Annexin‐A1 has a well‐defined anti‐inflammatory role in the innate immune system, but its function in adaptive immunity remains controversial. This glucocorticoid‐induced protein has been implicated in a range of inflammatory conditions and cancers, as well as being found to be overexpressed on the T cells of patients with autoimmune disease. Moreover, the formyl peptide family of receptors, through which annexin‐A1 primarily signals, has also been implicated in these diseases. In contrast, treatment with recombinant annexin‐A1 peptides resulted in suppression of inflammatory processes in murine models of inflammation. This review will focus on what is currently known about annexin‐A1 in health and disease and discuss the potential of this protein as a biomarker and therapeutic target.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive degenerative disease, of which smoking is the main causer. We carried out this study with the aim of exploring the underlying mechanism of methylprednisolone (MP) treating the COPD. To stimulate COPD in vitro, cigarette smoke extract (CSE)was employed to induce human bronchial epithelial cells BEAS-2B. With the help of MTT and Tunel assays, the viability and apoptosis of BEAS-2B cells after indicated treatment were assessed. The levels of inflammatory response and oxidative stress were determined by the changes of markers basing on their commercial kits. Additionally, annexin A1 (ANXA1) expressions at both protein and mRNA levels were assessed with Western blot and Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Moreover, the expressions of apoptosis- and formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) receptors and the adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway-related proteins were determined with Western blot., related proteins and proteins. As a result, MP up-regulated the ANXA1 expression in CSE-induced BEAS-2B cells. MP enhanced the viability but suppressed the apoptosis, inflammatory response and oxidative stress of CSE-induced BEAS-2B cells via regulating FPR2/AMPK pathway, while ANXA1 knockdown exhibited oppositive effects on them. In conclusion, MP up-regulated ANXA1 to inhibit the inflammation, apoptosis and oxidative stress of BEAS-2B cells induced by CSE, alleviating COPD through suppressing the FPR2/AMPK pathway.

[PMID: 35028743 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-022-06057-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2021] [Revised: 01/01/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND An association between ANXA1, FPR1 and FPR2 gene polymorphisms and the patho-physiology of many human diseases was suggested by numerous studies. OBJECTIVE Our study aimed to evaluate association between common polymorphisms in the 9q21.13 and 19q13.41 and susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in the Tunisian population. MATERIALS We performed a case-control study on 107 Tunisian SLE patients and 122 healthy controls to explore 9 polymorphisms of the three studied genes: rs2811226 and rs3739959 (ANXA1), rs5030880, rs1042229, rs1461765570, rs17849971, rs867228 (FPR1), rs17694990 and rs11666254 (FPR2). RESULTS Four polymorphisms were found to be linked with SLE susceptibility: rs3739959-ANXA1 > G and GG (p = 0.021, OR = 1.73 and p = 0.014, OR = 2.06 respectively), rs867228-FPR1 > TT (p = 0.014, OR = 4.59), rs11666254-FPR2 > GG (p = 0.019, OR = 8.34) and rs17694990-FPR2 > T (p = 0.05, OR = 1.506). In homogenous groups of SLE patients depending on clinical manifestations and serological results, previous associations were confirmed with a panoply of manifestations of lupus including lupus nephritis, malar rash, mouth ulceration and hypocomplementia. CONCLUSION Our study showed an association between ANXA1 > rs3739959, FPR1 > rs867228, FPR2 > rs11666254, FPR2 > rs17694990 and SLE susceptibility. Our results also showed a strong association between the two ANXA1 studied SNPs and LN which allowed us to suggest these two SNPs as biomarkers of LN development in SLE. Further research is needed to understand by which mechanism the gene variants affect susceptibility to SLE. Key Points • Lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease in which a panoply of factors are implicated • Annexin A1 interaction with its receptors are suggested as a target in therapy of a panoply of human disease in particular cancers • The present results highlighted the implication of Annexin A1 and its receptors gene polymorphisms in the physiopathology of lupus, in particular in the involvement of renal and cutaneous lesions.

Abstract
Royal jelly, also called bee milk, is a source of high-quality proteins. Royal jelly proteins serve as not only a rich source of essential amino acids and functional donors but also an excellent substrate for preparing bioactive peptides. Most naturally occurring bioactive peptides in royal jelly are antibacterial, while peptides derived from proteolytic reactions are shown to exert antihypertensive, antioxidative, and anti-aging activities. Further studies are warranted to characterize the functional properties of major royal jelly proteins and peptides, to explore the preparation of bioactive peptides and the potential novel activities, to improve their bioavailability, to enhance the production efficiency for commercial availability, and finally to open up new applications for royal jelly as a functional food and potential therapeutic agent.

Abstract
Thyroid carcinoma is one of the most common endocrine malignancies, in which papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the main pathotype. ANXA1 plays a significant role in many cancer types, but how it works in PTC has not been identified. MYC is a common transcript factor involved in tumorigenesis, development, invasion, and metastasis. The relation between ANXA1 and MYC has not been proved in PTC. In this study, firstly, we analyzed the expression and prognostic value of ANXA1 in pan-cancer using the data from the UCSC database. Then we explore the role of ANXA1 in PTC, including expression, prognostic value, and immune infiltration. In addition, we evaluated the relation between ANXA1 and the transcription factor MYC. Finally, we identified the expression of ANXA1 and MYC and then evaluated their function associated with proliferation and apoptosis in PTC cell lines by CCK8 proliferation and flow cytometry apoptosis experiment. We found that ANXA1 is up-regulated in PTC comparing with normal patients. High expression of ANXA1 was associated with adverse overall survival of PTC. ANXA1 may be regulated by MYC to promote the proliferation of PTC. MYC may regulate the expression of ANXA and thus affect the proliferation of PTC.

Abstract
Formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) are a group of G protein-coupled cell surface receptors that play important roles in host defense and inflammation. Owing to the ubiquitous expression of FPRs throughout different cell types and since they interact with structurally diverse chemotactic agonists, they have a dual function in inflammatory processes, depending on binding with different ligands so that accelerate or inhibit key intracellular kinase-based regulatory pathways. Neuroinflammation is closely associated with the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, neurogenic tumors and cerebrovascular diseases. From recent studies, it is clear that FPRs are important biomarkers for neurological diseases as they regulate inflammatory responses by monitoring glial activation, accelerating neural differentiation, regulating angiogenesis, and controlling blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability, thereby affecting neurological disease progression. Given the complex mechanisms of neurological diseases and the difficulty of healing, we are eager to find new and effective therapeutic targets. Here, we review recent research about various mechanisms of the effects generated after FPR binding to different ligands, role of FPRs in neuroinflammation as well as the development and prognosis of neurological diseases. We summarize that the FPR family has dual inflammatory functional properties in central nervous system. Emphasizing that FPR2 acts as a key molecule that mediates the active resolution of inflammation, which binds with corresponding receptors to reduce the expression and activation of pro-inflammatory composition, govern the transport of immune cells to inflammatory tissues, and restore the integrity of the BBB. Concurrently, FPR1 is essentially related to angiogenesis, cell proliferation and neurogenesis. Thus, treatment with FPRs-modulation may be effective for neurological diseases.

Abstract
Background Bladder cancer (BC) is the most common tumor of the urinary system. Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has a high recurrence rate after surgery, and patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) have poor quality of life after radical surgery. Understanding the molecular mechanism of bladder cancer is helpful for providing a more appropriate treatment approach. Annexins are calcium-binding proteins and play an important role in different tumor cells. However, the role of the annexin family in bladder cancer has not been studied in detail. Methods ONCOMINE, UALCAN, TIMER2.0, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, cBioPortal, and WebGestalt were utilized in this study. Results ANXA2, ANXA3, ANXA4, ANXA8, and ANXA9 were significantly increased in bladder tumor tissues, while ANXA6, ANXA7, and ANXA11 were significantly decreased. ANXA1, ANXA2, ANXA3, ANXA5, ANXA6, ANXA7, and ANXA9 had prognostic value in bladder cancer. In addition, specific annexins were specifically expressed in different subtypes of MIBC and were related to the histological morphology of bladder tumors. ANXA1, ANXA2, ANXA3, ANXA5, ANXA6, ANXA7, and ANXA8 were highly expressed in basal-subtype MIBC, while ANXA4, ANXA9, ANXA10, and ANXA11 were mainly expressed in luminal-subtype MIBC. Finally, we analyzed the possible mechanisms of ANXAs in different subtypes of bladder cancer through GO and KEGG analyses and the correlation between ANXAs and immune infiltration in the tumor microenvironment. Conclusion Taken together, our results indicate that annexins might play important roles in BC and have the potential to be used as markers for subtype classification.

Abstract
Annexin A1 is a 37 kDa phospholipid-binding protein that is expressed in many tissues and cell types, including leukocytes, lymphocytes and epithelial cells. Although Annexin A1 has been extensively studied for its anti-inflammatory activity, it has been shown that, in the cancer context, its activity switches from anti-inflammatory to pro-inflammatory. Remarkably, Annexin A1 shows pro-invasive and pro-tumoral properties in several cancers either by eliciting autocrine signaling in cancer cells or by inducing a favorable tumor microenvironment. Indeed, the signaling of the N-terminal peptide of AnxA1 has been described to promote the switching of macrophages to the pro-tumoral M2 phenotype. Moreover, AnxA1 has been described to prevent the induction of antigen-specific cytotoxic T cell response and to play an essential role in the induction of regulatory T lymphocytes. In this way, Annexin A1 inhibits the anti-tumor immunity and supports the formation of an immunosuppressed tumor microenvironment that promotes tumor growth and metastasis. For these reasons, in this review we aim to describe the role of Annexin A1 in the establishment of the tumor microenvironment, focusing on the immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory activities of Annexin A1 and on its interaction with the epidermal growth factor receptor.

Abstract
Icariin is a biologically active substance in Epimedii herba that is used for the treatment of neurologic disorders. However, a comprehensive analysis of the molecular mechanisms of icariin is lacking. In this review, we present a brief history of the use of icariin for medicinal purposes; describe the active chemical components of Epimedii herba; and examine the evidence from experimental studies that have uncovered molecular targets of icariin in different diseases. We also constructed a protein–protein interaction network and carried out Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes functional enrichment analyses to predict the therapeutic actions of icariin in nervous system diseases including Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, ischemic stroke, depressive disorder, multiple sclerosis, glioblastoma, and hereditary spastic paraplegias. The results of our analyses can guide future studies on the application of icariin to the treatment of neurologic disorders.

Abstract
Brain disease is known to cause irrevocable and fatal loss of biological function once damaged. One of various causes of its development is damage to neuron cells caused by hyperactivated microglia, which function as immune cells in brain. Among the genes expressed in microglia stimulated by various antigens, annexin A1 (ANXA1) is expressed in the early phase of the inflammatory response and plays an important role in controlling the immune response. In this study, we assessed whether ANXA1 can be a therapeutic target gene for the initial reduction of the immune response induced by microglia to minimize neuronal damage. To address this, mouse-origin microglial cells were stimulated to mimic an immune response by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment. The LPS treatment caused activation of ANXA1 gene and expression of inflammatory cytokines. To assess the biological function in microglia by the downregulation of ANXA1 gene, cells were treated with short hairpin RNA-ANXA1. Downregulated ANXA1 affected the function of mitochondria in the microglia and showed reduced neuronal damage when compared to the control group in the co-culture system. Taken together, our results showed that ANXA1 could be used as a potential therapeutic target for inflammation-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Understanding the cell differentiation process involves the characterization of signaling and regulatory pathways. The coordinated action involved in multilevel regulation determines the commitment of stem cells and their differentiation into a specific cell lineage. Cellular metabolism plays a relevant role in modulating the expression of genes, which act as sensors of the extra-and intracellular environment. In this work, we analyzed mRNAs associated with polysomes by focusing on the expression profile of metabolism-related genes during the cardiac differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). We compared different time points during cardiac differentiation (pluripotency, embryoid body aggregation, cardiac mesoderm, cardiac progenitor and cardiomyocyte) and showed the immature cell profile of energy metabolism. Highly regulated canonical pathways are thoroughly discussed, such as those involved in metabolic signaling and lipid homeostasis. We reveal the critical relevance of retinoic X receptor (RXR) heterodimers in upstream retinoic acid metabolism and their relationship with thyroid hormone signaling. Additionally, we highlight the importance of lipid homeostasis and extracellular matrix component biosynthesis during cardiomyogenesis, providing new insights into how hESCs reorganize their metabolism during in vitro cardiac differentiation.

Abstract
Gene-regulatory networks reconstruction has become a very popular approach in applied biology to infer and dissect functional interactions of Transcription Factors (TFs) driving a defined phenotypic state, termed as Master Regulators (MRs). In the present work, cutting-edge bioinformatic methods were applied to re-analyze experimental data on leukemia cells (human myelogenous leukemia cell line THP-1 and acute myeloid leukemia MOLM-13 cells) treated for 6 h with two different Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins (RIPs), namely Shiga toxin type 1 (400 ng/mL) produced by Escherichia coli strains and the plant toxin stenodactylin (60 ng/mL), purified from the caudex of Adenia stenodactyla Harms. This analysis allowed us to identify the common early transcriptional response to 28S rRNA damage based on gene-regulatory network inference and Master Regulator Analysis (MRA). Both toxins induce a common response at 6 h which involves inflammatory mediators triggered by AP-1 family transcriptional factors and ATF3 in leukemia cells. We describe for the first time the involvement of MAFF, KLF2 and KLF6 in regulating RIP-induced apoptotic cell death, while receptor-mediated downstream signaling through ANXA1 and TLR4 is suggested for both toxins.
