Abstract
The interchange of DNA sequences between genes may occur because of chromosomal rearrangements leading to the formation of chimeric genes. These chimeric genes have been linked to various cancers, accumulated significant interest in recent times. We used paired-end RNA-seq. data of four CRC and one normal sample generated from our previous study. The STAR-Fusion pipeline was utilized to identify the fusion genes unique to CRC. The in-silico identified fusion gene(s) were explored for their diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic biomarker potential using TCGA-datasets, then validated through PCR and DNA sequencing. Further, cell line-based studies were performed to gain functional insights of the novel fusion transcript CTNND1-RAB6A, which was amplified in one sample. Sequencing revealed that there was a total loss of the CTNND1 gene, whereas RAB6A retained its coding sequence. Further, RAB6A was functionally characterized for its oncogenic potential in HCT116 cell line. RAB6A under-expression was found to be significantly associated with increased cell migration and is proposed to be regulated via the RAB6A-ECR1-Liprin-α axis. We conclude that RAB6A gene may play significant role in CRC oncogenesis, and could be used as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in future for better management of a subset of CRCs harbouring this fusion.

Abstract
Small GTPases have been shown to play an important role in several cellular functions, including cytoskeletal remodeling, cell polarity, intracellular trafficking, cell-cycle, progression and lipid transformation. The Ras-associated binding (Rab) family of GTPases constitutes the largest family of GTPases and consists of almost 70 known members of small GTPases in humans, which are known to play an important role in the regulation of intracellular membrane trafficking, membrane identity, vesicle budding, uncoating, motility and fusion of membranes. Mutations in Rab genes can cause a wide range of inherited genetic diseases, ranging from neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) to immune dysregulation/deficiency syndromes, like Griscelli Syndrome Type II (GS-II) and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), as well as a variety of cancers. Here, we provide an extended overview of human Rabs, discussing their function and diseases related to Rabs and Rab effectors, as well as focusing on effects of (aberrant) Rab expression. We aim to underline their importance in health and the development of genetic and malignant diseases by assessing their role in cellular structure, regulation, function and biology and discuss the possible use of stem cell gene therapy, as well as targeting of Rabs in order to treat malignancies, but also to monitor recurrence of cancer and metastasis through the use of Rabs as biomarkers. Future research should shed further light on the roles of Rabs in the development of multifactorial diseases, such as diabetes and assess Rabs as a possible treatment target.

Abstract
Lysosomes help maintain cellular proteostasis, and defects in lysosomal positioning and function can cause disease, including neurodegenerative disorders. The spatiotemporal distribution of lysosomes is regulated by small GTPases including Rabs, which are activated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). DENN domain proteins are the largest family of Rab GEFs. Using a cell-based assay, we screened DENND6A, a member of the DENN domain protein family against all known Rabs and identified it as a potential GEF for 20 Rabs, including Rab34. Here, we demonstrate that DENND6A activates Rab34, which recruits a RILP/dynein complex to lysosomes, promoting lysosome retrograde transport. Further, we identify DENND6A as an effector of Arl8b, a major regulatory GTPase on lysosomes. We demonstrate that Arl8b recruits DENND6A to peripheral lysosomes to activate Rab34 and initiate retrograde transport, regulating nutrient-dependent lysosomal juxtanuclear repositioning. Loss of DENND6A impairs autophagic flux. Our findings support a model whereby Arl8b/DENND6A/Rab34-dependent lysosomal retrograde trafficking controls autophagy.

Abstract
The endocytosis, intracellular transport, and exocytosis of different-sized nanoparticles were reported to greatly affect their efficacy and biosafety. The quantitation of endocytosis and exocytosis as well as subcellular distribution of nanoparticles might be an effective approach based on transport pathway flux analysis. Thus, the key parameters that could present the effects of three different-sized ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles (USIONPs) were systematically investigated in RAW264.7 cells. The endocytosis and exocytosis of USIONPs were related to their sizes; 15.4 nm of S2 could be quickly and more internalized and excreted in comparison to S1 (7.8 nm) and S3 (30.7 nm). In RAW264.7 cells, USIONPs were observed in endosomes, lysosomes, the Golgi apparatus, and autophagosomes via a transmission electron microscope. Based on flux analysis of intracellular transport pathways of USIONPs, it was found that 43% of S1, 40% of S2, and 44% of S3 were individually transported extracellularly through the Golgi apparatus-involved middle-fast pathway, while 24% of S1, 23% of S2, and 26% of S3 were transported through the fast recycling endosomal pathway, and the residues were transported through the slower speed lysosomal pathway. USIONPs might be transported via size-related endocytosis and exocytosis pathways. The pathway flux could be calculated on the basis of disturbance analysis of special transporters as well as their coding genes. Because there were rate differences among these transport pathways, this pathway flux could anticipate the intracellular remaining time and distribution of different-sized nanoparticles, the function exertion, and side effects of nanomaterials. The size of the nanomaterials could be optimized for improving functions and safety.

Abstract
The endocytic pathway is of central importance for eukaryotic cells, as it enables uptake of extracellular materials, membrane protein quality control and recycling, as well as modulation of receptor signaling. While the ATPase p97 (VCP, Cdc48) has been found to be involved in the fusion of early endosomes and endolysosomal degradation, its role in endocytic trafficking is still incompletely characterized. Here, we identify myoferlin (MYOF), a ferlin family member with functions in membrane trafficking and repair, as a hitherto unknown p97 interactor. The interaction of MYOF with p97 depends on the cofactor PLAA previously linked to endosomal sorting. Besides PLAA, shared interactors of p97 and MYOF comprise several proteins involved in endosomal recycling pathways, including Rab11, Rab14, and the transferrin receptor CD71. Accordingly, a fraction of p97 and PLAA localizes to MYOF-, Rab11-, and Rab14-positive endosomal compartments. Pharmacological inhibition of p97 delays transferrin recycling, indicating that p97 promotes not only the lysosomal degradation, but also the recycling of endocytic cargo.

Abstract
A disintegrin and metalloprotease 10 (ADAM10) regulates the expression of cell surface receptors such as tumor necrosis factor receptor 1, toll-like receptor 4, and the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) by cleaving their extracellular regions. To function as a sheddase, ADAM10 should translocate from the intracellular compartments to the cell surface, but the translocation mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we explored the possible role of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the induction of ADAM10 shedding activity. In cultured human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs), 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR), an AMPK activator, boosted ADAM10 cell surface translocation and ectodomain shedding of RAGE. ADAM10 inhibition with GI 254023X and ADAM10 siRNA silencing both prevented AICAR-induced RAGE ectodomain shedding. AICAR increased AMPK phosphorylation as well. Both Compound C-mediated AMPK inhibition and AMPKα1-siRNA-mediated AMPK depletion suppressed AICAR-induced ADAM10 cell surface translocation and RAGE ectodomain shedding. On the other hand, siRNA knockdown of Rab14, a small GTPase that facilitates the intracellular trafficking of transmembrane proteins, prevented AICAR-induced ADAM10 cell surface translocation and RAGE ectodomain shedding. In conclusion, AMPK activation is an obvious inducer of ADAM10 shedding activity. Our findings suggest that AMPK boosts ADAM10 shedding activity in HAECs by promoting Rab14-dependent ADAM10 cell surface translocation.

Abstract
Heterozygous loss-of-function variants of FOXP4 are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) that exhibit delayed speech development, intellectual disability, and congenital abnormalities. The etiology of NDDs is unclear. Here we found that FOXP4 and N-cadherin are expressed in the nuclei and apical end-feet of radial glial cells (RGCs), respectively, in the mouse neocortex during early gestation. Knockdown or dominant-negative inhibition of Foxp4 abolishes the apical condensation of N-cadherin in RGCs and the integrity of neuroepithelium in the ventricular zone (VZ). Inhibition of Foxp4 leads to impeded radial migration of cortical neurons and ectopic neurogenesis from the proliferating VZ. The ectopic differentiation and deficient migration disappear when N-cadherin is over-expressed in RGCs. The data indicate that Foxp4 is essential for N-cadherin-based adherens junctions, the loss of which leads to periventricular heterotopias. We hypothesize that FOXP4 variant-associated NDDs may be caused by disruption of the adherens junctions and malformation of the cerebral cortex.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) remains one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders. It has become increasingly recognized that PD is not one disease but a constellation of many, with distinct cellular mechanisms driving pathology and neuronal loss in each given subtype. Endolysosomal trafficking and lysosomal degradation are crucial to maintain neuronal homeostasis and vesicular trafficking. It is clear that deficits in endolysosomal signaling data support the existence of an endolysosomal PD subtype. This chapter describes how cellular pathways involved in endolysosomal vesicular trafficking and lysosomal degradation in neurons and immune cells can contribute to PD. Last, as inflammatory processes including phagocytosis and cytokine release are central in glia-neuron interactions, a spotlight on the role of neuroinflammation plays in the pathogenesis of this PD subtype is also explored.

Abstract
Cell migration plays an essential role in many pathophysiological processes, including embryonic development, wound healing, immunity, and cancer invasion, and is therefore a widely studied phenomenon in many different fields from basic cell biology to regenerative medicine. During the past decades, a multitude of increasingly complex methods have been developed to study cell migration. Here we compile a series of current state-of-the-art methods and protocols to investigate cell migration in a variety of model systems ranging from cells, organoids, tissue explants, and microfluidic systems to Drosophila, zebrafish, and mice. Together they cover processes as diverse as nuclear deformation, energy consumption, endocytic trafficking, and matrix degradation, as well as tumor vascularization and cancer cell invasion, sprouting angiogenesis, and leukocyte extravasation. Furthermore, methods to study developmental processes such as neural tube closure, germ layer specification, and branching morphogenesis are included, as well as scripts for the automated analysis of several aspects of cell migration. Together, this book constitutes a unique collection of methods of prime importance to those interested in the analysis of cell migration.

Abstract
Arl8b, an Arf-like GTP-binding protein, regulates cargo trafficking and positioning of lysosomes. However, it is unknown whether Arl8b regulates lysosomal cargo sorting. Here, we report that Arl8b binds to the Rab4 and Rab14 interaction partner, RUN and FYVE domain-containing protein (RUFY) 1, a known regulator of cargo sorting from recycling endosomes. Arl8b determines RUFY1 endosomal localization through regulating its interaction with Rab14. RUFY1 depletion led to a delay in CI-M6PR retrieval from endosomes to the TGN, resulting in impaired delivery of newly synthesized hydrolases to lysosomes. We identified the dynein-dynactin complex as an RUFY1 interaction partner, and similar to a subset of activating dynein adaptors, the coiled-coil region of RUFY1 was required for interaction with dynein and the ability to mediate dynein-dependent organelle clustering. Our findings suggest that Arl8b and RUFY1 play a novel role on recycling endosomes, from where this machinery regulates endosomes to TGN retrieval of CI-M6PR and, consequently, lysosomal cargo sorting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNA (miR)-214-3p is emerging as an important tumor suppressor in esophageal cancer. In this study, we examined the interaction between miR-214-3p and RAB14, a membrane trafficking protein shown to exert oncogenic functions in other malignancies, in esophageal cancer cells. METHODS Studies were performed in a human esophageal epithelial cell line and a panel of esophageal cancer cell lines, as well in human specimens. MiR-214-3p expression was measured by digital PCR. Biotinylated RNA pull-down and luciferase reporter assays assessed binding. The xCELLigence RTCA system measured cell migration and invasion in real time. A lentiviral expression vector was used to create an esophageal cancer cell line stably expressing miR-214-3p. RESULTS MiR-214-3p expression was decreased in esophageal cancer cell lines and human specimens compared to non-malignant controls. RAB14 mRNA stability and protein expression were decreased following miR-214-3p overexpression. Binding between miR-214-3p and RAB14 mRNA was observed. Either forced expression of miR-214-3p or RAB14 silencing led to a marked decrease in cellular migration and invasion. Esophageal cancer cells stably expressing miR-214-3p demonstrated decreased growth in a subcutaneous murine model. CONCLUSIONS These results further support the tumor-suppressive role of miR-214-3p in esophageal cancer cells by demonstrating its ability to regulate RAB14 expression.

Abstract
CDH2 belongs to the classic cadherin family of Ca2+-dependent cell adhesion molecules with a meticulously described dual role in cell adhesion and β-catenin signaling. During CNS development, CDH2 is involved in a wide range of processes including maintenance of neuroepithelial integrity, neural tube closure (neurulation), confinement of radial glia progenitor cells (RGPCs) to the ventricular zone and maintaining their proliferation-differentiation balance, postmitotic neural precursor migration, axon guidance, synaptic development and maintenance. In the past few years, direct and indirect evidence linked CDH2 to various neurological diseases, and in this review, we summarize recent developments regarding CDH2 function and its involvement in pathological alterations of the CNS.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicle (EV) secretion enables cell-cell communication in multicellular organisms. During development, EV secretion and the specific loading of signalling factors in EVs contributes to organ development and tissue differentiation. Here, we present an in vivo model to study EV secretion using the fat body and the haemolymph of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The system makes use of tissue-specific EV labelling and is amenable to genetic modification by RNAi. This allows the unique combination of microscopic visualisation of EVs in different organs and quantitative biochemical purification to study how EVs are generated within the cells and which factors regulate their secretion in vivo. Characterisation of the system revealed that secretion of EVs from the fat body is mainly regulated by Rab11 and Rab35, highlighting the importance of recycling Rab GTPase family members for EV secretion. We furthermore discovered a so far unknown function of Rab14 along with the kinesin Klp98A in EV biogenesis and secretion.

Endocytosed HIV-1 Envelope Glycoprotein Traffics to Rab14 + Late Endosomes and Lysosomes to Regulate Surface Levels in T-Cell Lines. J Virol 2022; 96:e0076722. [PMID: 35770989 PMCID: PMC9327703 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.00767-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Production of infectious HIV-1 particles requires incorporation of the viral envelope glycoprotein (Env) at the plasma membrane (PM) of infected CD4+ T cells. Env trafficking to the PM exposes viral epitopes that can be exploited by the host immune system; however, HIV-1 can evade this response by endocytosis of excess Env from the PM. The fate of Env after internalization remains unclear, with evidence suggesting several different vesicular trafficking steps may be involved, including recycling pathways. To date, there have been very few studies documenting the trafficking pathways of native Env in infected T cells. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether there are T-cell-specific endosomal pathways regulating the fate of endocytic Env. Here, we use a pulse-labeling approach with a monovalent anti-Env Fab probe to characterize the trafficking of internalized Env within infected CD4+ T-cell lines, together with CRISPR/Cas9-mediated endogenous protein tagging, to assess the role of host cell Rab GTPases in Env trafficking. We show that endocytosed Env traffics to Rab14+ compartments that possess hallmarks of late endosomes and lysosomes. We also demonstrate that Env can recycle back to the PM, although we find that recycling does not occur at high rates when compared to the model recycling protein transferrin. These results help to resolve open questions about the fate and relevance of endocytosed Env in HIV-infected cells and suggest a novel role for Rab14 in a cell-type-specific late-endosomal/lysosomal trafficking pathway in T cells. IMPORTANCE HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) evades immune neutralization through many mechanisms. One immune evasion strategy may result from the internalization of excess surface-exposed Env to prevent antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity or neutralization. Characterization of the fate of endocytosed Env is critical to understand which vesicular pathways could be targeted to promote display of Env epitopes to the immune system. In this study, we characterize the endocytic fate of native Env, expressed from infected human T-cell lines. We demonstrate that Env is rapidly trafficked to a late-endosome/lysosome-like compartment and can be recycled to the cell surface for incorporation into virus assembly sites. This study implicates a novel intracellular compartment, marked by host-cell Rab14 GTPases, for the sequestration of Env. Therapeutic approaches aimed at mobilizing this intracellular pool of Env could lead to stronger immune control of HIV-1 infection via antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Membrane traffic controls the movement of proteins and lipids from one cellular compartment to another using a system of transport vesicles. Intracellular nanovesicles (INVs) are a newly described class of transport vesicles. These vesicles are small, carry diverse cargo, and are involved in multiple trafficking steps including anterograde traffic and endosomal recycling. An example of a biological process that they control is cell migration and invasion, due to their role in integrin recycling. In this review, we describe what is known so far about these vesicles. We discuss how INVs may integrate into established membrane trafficking pathways using integrin recycling as an example. We speculate where in the cell INVs have the potential to operate and we identify key questions for future investigation.

β-Arrestin2 Is Critically Involved in the Differential Regulation of Phosphosignaling Pathways by Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone and Taltirelin. Cells 2022; 11:cells11091473.

Abstract
In recent years, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and its analogs, including taltirelin (TAL), have demonstrated a range of effects on the central nervous system that represent potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of various neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms of their actions remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated phosphosignaling dynamics in pituitary GH1 cells affected by TRH and TAL and the putative role of β-arrestin2 in mediating these effects. Our results revealed widespread alterations in many phosphosignaling pathways involving signal transduction via small GTPases, MAP kinases, Ser/Thr- and Tyr-protein kinases, Wnt/β-catenin, and members of the Hippo pathway. The differential TRH- or TAL-induced phosphorylation of numerous proteins suggests that these ligands exhibit some degree of biased agonism at the TRH receptor. The different phosphorylation patterns induced by TRH or TAL in β-arrestin2-deficient cells suggest that the β-arrestin2 scaffold is a key factor determining phosphorylation events after TRH receptor activation. Our results suggest that compounds that modulate kinase and phosphatase activity can be considered as additional adjuvants to enhance the potential therapeutic value of TRH or TAL.

Early Endosomal Vps34-Derived Phosphatidylinositol-3-Phosphate Is Indispensable for the Biogenesis of the Endosomal Recycling Compartment. Cells 2022; 11:cells11060962.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P), a major identity tag of early endosomes (EEs), provides a platform for the recruitment of numerous cellular proteins containing an FYVE or PX domain that is required for PI3P-dependent maturation of EEs. Most of the PI3P in EEs is generated by the activity of Vps34, a catalytic component of class III phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate kinase (PI3Ks) complex. In this study, we analyzed the role of Vps34-derived PI3P in the EE recycling circuit of unperturbed cells using VPS34-IN1 (IN1), a highly specific inhibitor of Vps34. IN1-mediated PI3P depletion resulted in the rapid dissociation of recombinant FYVE- and PX-containing PI3P-binding modules and endogenous PI3P-binding proteins, including EEA1 and EE sorting nexins. IN1 treatment triggered the rapid restructuring of EEs into a PI3P-independent functional configuration, and after IN1 washout, EEs were rapidly restored to a PI3P-dependent functional configuration. Analysis of the PI3P-independent configuration showed that the Vps34-derived PI3P is not essential for the pre-EE-associated functions and the fast recycling loop of the EE recycling circuit but contributes to EE maturation toward the degradation circuit, as previously shown in Vps34 knockout and knockdown studies. However, our study shows that Vps34-derived PI3P is also essential for the establishment of the Rab11a-dependent pathway, including recycling cargo sorting in this pathway and membrane flux from EEs to the pericentriolar endosomal recycling compartment (ERC). Rab11a endosomes of PI3P-depleted cells expanded and vacuolized outside the pericentriolar area without the acquisition of internalized transferrin (Tf). These endosomes had high levels of FIP5 and low levels of FIP3, suggesting that their maturation was arrested before the acquisition of FIP3. Consequently, Tf-loaded-, Rab11a/FIP5-, and Rab8a-positive endosomes disappeared from the pericentriolar area, implying that PI3P-associated functions are essential for ERC biogenesis. ERC loss was rapidly reversed after IN1 washout, which coincided with the restoration of FIP3 recruitment to Rab11a-positive endosomes and their dynein-dependent migration to the cell center. Thus, our study shows that Vps34-derived PI3P is indispensable in the recycling circuit to maintain the slow recycling pathway and biogenesis of the ERC.

Abstract
Background Despite advanced treatments could inhibit progression of colorectal carcinoma (CRC), the recurrence and metastasis remain challenging issues. Accumulating evidences implicated that AVL9 played a vital role in human cancers, but it’s biological function and mechanism in CRC remain unclear. Aim To investigate the biological role and mechanism of AVL9 in colorectal carcinoma. Results AVL9 expression was significantly upregulated in tumor tissues than that in matched normal tissues both at mRNA and protein levels. High expression of AVL9 was closely correlated with M status, stages and poor prognosis of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) patients. Functionally, AVL9 overexpression promoted cell migration rather than cell proliferation in vitro, whereas AVL9 knockdown exhibited the contrary results. Mechanistically, AVL9 regulated EGFR expression, and knockdown of EGFR restrained AVL9-induced cell migration. Conclusion These findings demonstrated that AVL9 contributed to CRC cell migration by regulating EGFR expression, suggesting a potential biomarker and treatment target for CRC.

Abstract
Endocytosis and endosome dynamics are controlled by proteins of the small GTPase Rab family. Besides possible recycling routes to the plasma membrane and various organelles, previously described endocytic pathways (e.g., clathrin-mediated endocytosis, macropinocytosis, CLIC/GEEC pathway) all appear to funnel the endocytosed material to Rab5-positive early endosomes that then mature into Rab7-positive late endosomes/lysosomes. By studying the uptake of a series of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), we identify an endocytic pathway that moves material to nonacidic Lamp1-positive late endosomes. Trafficking via this endocytic route is fully independent of Rab5 and Rab7 but requires the Rab14 protein. The pathway taken by CPPs differs from the conventional Rab5-dependent endocytosis at the stage of vesicle formation already, as it is not affected by a series of compounds that inhibit macropinocytosis or clathrin-mediated endocytosis. The Rab14-dependent pathway is also used by physiological cationic molecules such as polyamines and homeodomains found in homeoproteins.

Abstract
Transmembrane epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is expressed in epithelia, carcinoma, teratoma, and embryonic stem cells (ESCs). EpCAM displays spatiotemporal patterning during embryogenesis, tissue morphogenesis, cell differentiation, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in carcinomas. Potential interactors of EpCAM were identified in murine F9 teratoma cells using a stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture-based proteomic approach (n = 77, enrichment factor >3, p value ≤ 0.05). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and gene ontology terms revealed interactions with regulators of endosomal trafficking and membrane recycling, which were further validated for Rab5, Rab7, and Rab11. Endocytosis and membrane recycling of EpCAM were confirmed in mF9 cells, E14TG2α ESC, and Kyse30 carcinoma cells. Reduction of EpCAM during mesodermal differentiation and TGFβ-induced EMT correlated with enhanced endocytosis and block or reduction of recycling in ESCs and esophageal carcinoma cells. Hence, endocytosis and membrane recycling are means of regulation of EpCAM protein levels during differentiation of ESC and EMT induction in carcinoma cells.

Abstract
Cell invasion is associated with numerous patho-physiologic states including cell development and metastatic dissemination. This process couples the activation of cell motility with the capacity to degrade the extracellular matrix, thereby permitting cells to pass through basal membranes. Invasion is sustained by the actions of invadosomes, an ensemble of subcellular structures with high functional homology. Invadosomes are 3D acto-adhesive structures that can also mediate local extracellular matrix degradation through the controlled delivery of proteases. Intracellular RHO GTPases play a central role in the regulation of invadosomes where their complex interplay regulates multiple invadosome functions. This review aims to provide an overview of the synergistic activities of the small GTPases in invadosome biology. This broad-based review also reinforces the importance of the spatiotemporal regulation of small GTPases and the impact of this process on invadosome dynamics.

Abstract
The eukaryotic endomembrane system consists of multiple interconnected organelles. Rab GTPases are organelle-specific markers that give identity to these membranes by recruiting transport and trafficking proteins. During transport processes or along organelle maturation, one Rab is replaced by another, a process termed Rab cascade, which requires at its center a Rab-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF). The endolysosomal system serves here as a prime example for a Rab cascade. Along with endosomal maturation, the endosomal Rab5 recruits and activates the Rab7-specific GEF Mon1-Ccz1, resulting in Rab7 activation on endosomes and subsequent fusion of endosomes with lysosomes. In this review, we focus on the current idea of Mon1-Ccz1 recruitment and activation in the endolysosomal and autophagic pathway. We compare identified principles to other GTPase cascades on endomembranes, highlight the importance of regulation, and evaluate in this context the strength and relevance of recent developments in in vitro analyses to understand the underlying foundation of organelle biogenesis and maturation.

Abstract
Angiogenic sprouting relies on collective migration and coordinated rearrangements of endothelial leader and follower cells. VE-cadherin-based adherens junctions have emerged as key cell-cell contacts that transmit forces between cells and trigger signals during collective cell migration in angiogenesis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that govern these processes and their functional importance for vascular development still remain unknown. We previously showed that the F-BAR protein PACSIN2 is recruited to tensile asymmetric adherens junctions between leader and follower cells. Here we report that PACSIN2 mediates the formation of endothelial sprouts during angiogenesis by coordinating collective migration. We show that PACSIN2 recruits the trafficking regulators EHD4 and MICAL-L1 to the rear end of asymmetric adherens junctions to form a recycling endosome-like tubular structure. The junctional PACSIN2/EHD4/MICAL-L1 complex controls local VE-cadherin trafficking and thereby coordinates polarized endothelial migration and angiogenesis. Our findings reveal a molecular event at force-dependent asymmetric adherens junctions that occurs during the tug-of-war between endothelial leader and follower cells, and allows for junction-based guidance during collective migration in angiogenesis. Communication between endothelial leader and follower cells during collective cell migration is crucial for vascular development. Here, the authors show that PACSIN2 guides collective cell migration and angiogenesis by recruiting a protein trafficking complex to asymmetric cell-cell junctions, controlling local junction plasticity.

Abstract
Enzymes, once considered static molecular machines acting in defined spatial patterns and sites of action, move to different intra- and extracellular locations, changing their function. This topological regulation revealed a close cross-talk between proteases and signaling events involving post-translational modifications, membrane tyrosine kinase receptors and G-protein coupled receptors, motor proteins shuttling cargos in intracellular vesicles, and small-molecule messengers. Here, we highlight recent advances in our knowledge of regulation and function of A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase (ADAM) endopeptidases at specific subcellular sites, or in multimolecular complexes, with a special focus on ADAM10, and tumor necrosis factor-α convertase (TACE/ADAM17), since these two enzymes belong to the same family, share selected substrates and bioactivity. We will discuss some examples of ADAM10 activity modulated by changing partners and subcellular compartmentalization, with the underlying hypothesis that restraining protease activity by spatial segregation is a complex and powerful regulatory tool.

Abstract
Abnormal circular RNAs (circRNAs) are associated with biological processes in cancer; however, the function of circRNAs remains largely unknown in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present study aimed to investigate the role of hsa_circ_0058357 on the progression of NSCLC. Cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis were determined using Cell Counting Kit-8, Transwell and flow cytometry assays, respectively. Gene [circRNA and microRNA (miR)] and protein expression levels were determined via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and immunoblotting. A luciferase assay was employed to detect the binding of miR-24-3p with AVL9 cell migration associated (AVL9), while a cancer xenograft model was established to evaluate cancer growth in vivo. The results demonstrated that hsa_circ_0058357 was highly expressed in human NSCLC tissues and NSCLC cells compared with para-cancerous tissues and human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells, respectively. Knockdown of hsa_circ_0058357 significantly suppressed cell viability, migration and tumor growth, while it promoted apoptosis in NSCLC cells. As a competing endogenous RNA, hsa_circ_0058357 knockdown contributed to the increase of miR-24-3p expression in NSCLC cells. Of note, overexpression of miR-24-3p markedly abolished the exogenous hsa_circ_0058357-induced excessive proliferation, migration and apoptosis resistance of NSCLC cells. Mechanistically, as a signaling molecule in late secretory pathway, AVL9 was also expressed at a high level in NSCLC tissues and cells, which could be directly suppressed by miR-24-3p. In the tumor tissues, along with growth inhibition, hsa_circ_0058357 knockdown also mediated the elevation of miR-24-3p and the reduction of AVL9. Thus, it was suggested that hsa_circ_0058357 may be a crucial regulation factor in NSCLC by sponging hsa-miR-24-3p, leading to a decrease in miR-24-3p expression, and subsequent increase in AVL9 expression. Therefore, hsa_circ_0058357 may serve as a potential target for diagnosis and gene therapy for NSCLC.

Abstract
Background Cancer, as one of the main causes of human deaths, is currently a significant global health challenge. Since the majority of cancer-related deaths are associated with late diagnosis, it is necessary to develop minimally invasive early detection markers to manage and reduce mortality rates. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as highly conserved non-coding RNAs, target the specific mRNAs which are involved in regulation of various fundamental cellular processes such as cell proliferation, death, and signaling pathways. MiRNAs can also be regulated by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs). They are highly stable in body fluids and have tumor-specific expression profiles, which suggest their suitability as efficient non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic tumor markers. Aberrant expression of miR-338 has been widely reported in different cancers. It regulates cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and apoptosis in tumor cells. Main body In the present review, we have summarized all miR-338 interactions with other non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and associated signaling pathways to clarify the role of miR-338 during tumor progression. Conclusions It was concluded that miR-338 mainly functions as a tumor suppressor in different cancers. There were also significant associations between miR-338 and other ncRNAs in tumor cells. Moreover, miR-338 has a pivotal role during tumor progression using the regulation of WNT, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. This review highlights miR-338 as a pivotal ncRNA in biology of tumor cells.

Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the primary epithelial tumor of the lung. The lack of clinical symptoms and specific molecular diagnostic indicators during the early stages of LUAD mean that the disease may not be detected until late stages, and the 5‐year survival rate is only approximately 15%. Long non‐coding RNA ALMS1 intronic script 1 (ALMS1‐IT1) was previously reported to be correlated with the poor prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients. Here, we investigated whether ALMS1‐IT1 has prognostic potential for LUAD. Bioinformatics analyses were performed to examine the expression and prognostic value of ALMS1 and AVL9 (for which gene expression is positively correlated with ALMS1‐IT1 expression in LUAD) in LUAD based on TCGA and Oncomine databases. We report that ALMS1‐IT1 and AVL9 were both highly expressed in LUAD and correlated with poor outcomes in LUAD patients. Of note, the prognosis of LUAD patients with low expression of both ALMS1‐IT1 and AVL9 was superior to that of other patients. Furthermore, the proliferation, migration and invasion of LUAD cells were decreased in cells lacking ALMS1‐IT1, and this decrease could be almost completely reversed through overexpression of AVL9. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that expression of genes related to the cell cycle pathway is closely related to both the high expression of ALMS1‐IT1 and AVL9 in LUAD. Finally, up‐regulation of ALMS1‐IT1 can activate the cyclin‐dependent kinase pathway, whereas absence of AVL9 can reverse this activation, as shown by western blotting. In summary, ALMS1‐IT1/AVL9 may promote the malignant progression of LUAD, at least in part by regulating the cyclin‐dependent kinase pathway.

Abstract
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, which is the most common malignancy in women. The incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer indicate that it is the leading cause of cancer-related with deaths. circRNAs operate as part of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) mechanisms, which play critical roles in the different biological processes of breast cancer such as proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. The goal of the present study is to identify the potential predictive biomarker for breast cancer diagnosis in the circRNA network by in vitro and in silico analyzes. 40 miRNAs were obtained from the miRWalk database and their combinatorial target genes (potential ceRNAs) were identified with ComiR. We stated that the cancer-specific circRNA genes in MCF-7 cells using the cancer-specific circRNA (CSDC) database, and obtained the ones showing potential ceRNA activity in our previous analysis among them. Identified genes with remarkable expression differences between BCa and normal breast tissue were determined by the GEPIA database. Moreover, the Spearman correlation test in the GEPIA database was used for the statistical analysis of the relationship between DCAF7 and SOGA1, SOGA1 and AVL 9, DCAF7 and AVL 9 gene pairs. And also, DCAF7, SOGA1, and AVL9 gene expression levels were detected in MCF-7 and MCF-10A cells by RT-qPCR method. DCAF7, SOGA1, and AVL9 gene were significantly more expressed to BCa tissue and MCF-7 cells than normal breast tissue and MCF-10 A cells. And also, DCAF7 and SOGA1, SOGA1 and AVL9, DCAF7 and AVL9 genes pairs were found to be significantly correlated with BCa. These genes may be considered as potential predictive biomarkers to discriminate BCa patients from healthy persons. Our preliminary results can supply a new perspective for in vitro and vivo studies in the future.

Cell Mol Life Sci 2021; 78:1085-1100.

Abstract
KDEL receptor cycles between the ER and the Golgi to retrieve ER-resident chaperones that get leaked to the secretory pathway during protein export from the ER. Recent studies have shown that a fraction of KDEL receptor may reside in the plasma membrane and function as a putative cell surface receptor. However, the trafficking itinerary and mechanism of cell surface expressed KDEL receptor remains largely unknown. In this study, we used N-terminally Halo-tagged KDEL receptor to investigate its endocytosis from the plasma membrane and trafficking itinerary of the endocytosed receptor through the endolysosomal compartments. Our results indicate that surface-expressed KDEL receptor undergoes highly complex recycling pathways via the Golgi and peri-nuclear recycling endosomes that are positive for Rab11 and Rab14, respectively. Unexpectedly, KDEL receptor appears to preferentially utilize clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway as well as clathrin-dependent transport carriers for export from the trans-Golgi network. Taken together, we suggest that KDEL receptor may be a bona fide cell surface receptor with a complex, yet well-defined trafficking itinerary through the endolysosomal compartments.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to explore the function and clinical significance of AVL9 in colorectal cancer (CRC). MATERIALS AND METHODS The GEO, TCGA, and GEPIA databases were searched to evaluate the expression level of AVL9, while the SurvExpress online tool was used to explore its related clinical survival prognosis. The cBioPortal and LinkedOmics databases were used to identify AVL9 expression-related genes. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were analyzed using Cytoscape 3.7.1 and DAVID6.8, which was used to perform Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) signal pathway enrichment. The immunohistochemistry of AVL9 in CRC was detected using an online tool protein atlas. RNA isolation and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assays were used to detect AVL9 expression in tissue and plasma samples. RESULTS Our study confirmed that AVL9 was highly expressed in CRC lesions versus the adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.001). High AVL9 expression was negatively associated with survival outcomes (P < 0.05). GO analysis showed that AVL9 expression-related genes were enriched in single organismal cell-cell adhesion, post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, and negative regulation of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor signaling pathway (P < 0.05). On a KEGG pathway analysis, these genes were mainly involved in progesterone-mediated oocyte maturation, axon guidance, the insulin signaling pathway, and the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis signaling pathways (P < 0.05). In the PPI analysis, the KBTBD2, KIAA1147, EPDR1, and RNF216 genes interacted with AVL9, and GEPIA predicted that their expression levels were all positively correlated with AVL9. Furthermore, a clinicopathological parameter analysis found that high AVL9 expression was positively correlated with differentiation and TNM stage. RT-qPCR analysis further showed that plasma AVL9 expression was upregulated in CRC patients versus healthy controls. CONCLUSION AVL9 could serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for CRC.

Abstract
Introduction Several reports have shown that Rab14 is dysregulated in human cancers suggesting that it is an oncogenic protein closely related to tumorigenesis. However, whether Rab14 plays a role in the development and progression of human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. Methods Rab14 protein levels were examined in 115 cases of NSCLC tissues and 6 cancer cell lines. Rab14 knockdown was performed in H1299 and A549 cell lines. Rab14 plasmid transfection was performed in the LK2 cell line. The biological roles and mechanisms of Rab14 were examined using MTT, colony formation, Matrigel invasion assay, migration assay, cell cycle analysis, Western blotting, and RT-qPCR. Results We found that Rab14 was upregulated in 65 of 115 lung cancer tissues. Rab14 high expression was significantly correlated with advanced TNM stage and nodal metastasis. Rab14 protein levels were higher in lung cancer cell lines than in normal bronchial cell line. Functionally, Rab14 overexpression increased growth rate, colony formation, invasion/migration ability and cell cycle progression, while Rab14 siRNA decreased the cell proliferation rate, colony numbers and inhibited invasion/migration ability and cell cycle progression. Rab14 upregulated cyclin D1, cyclin E, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and downregulated p27 protein and mRNA levels in both A549 and H1299 cell lines, while Rab14 siRNA produced the opposite effects. Further study showed that Rab14 overexpression increased luciferase reporter activity from transcriptional enhanced associate domain (TEAD) protein. Accordingly, Rab14 increased total Yes-associated protein (YAP) and nuclear YAP protein while decreased phosphorylated (p)-YAP and cytoplasmic YAP protein expression. Cycloheximide treatment showed that Rab14 downregulated the level of YAP degradation. Depletion of YAP using siRNA abolished the influence of Rab14 on cyclin D1, cyclin E, and CTGF. YAP knockdown also partly abolished the effects of Rab14 on cell proliferation and invasion. Conclusion In summary, our data showed that Rab14 is overexpressed in human NSCLC. Rab14 facilitated proliferation and invasion, possibly through regulation of YAP signaling.

Abstract
Beta-herpesviruses develop a unique structure within the infected cell known as an assembly compartment (AC). This structure, as large as the nucleus, is composed of host-cell-derived membranous elements. The biogenesis of the AC and its contribution to the final stages of beta-herpesvirus assembly are still unclear. In this study, we performed a spatial and temporal analysis of the AC in cells infected with murine CMV (MCMV), a member of the beta-herpesvirus family, using a panel of markers that characterize membranous organelle system. Out of 64 markers that were analyzed, 52 were cytosolic proteins that are recruited to membranes as components of membrane-shaping regulatory cascades. The analysis demonstrates that MCMV infection extensively reorganizes interface between early endosomes (EE), endosomal recycling compartment (ERC), and the trans-Golgi network (TGN), resulting in expansion of various EE-ERC-TGN intermediates that fill the broad area of the inner AC. These intermediates are displayed as over-recruitment of host-cell factors that control membrane flow at the EE-ERC-TGN interface. Most of the reorganization is accomplished in the early (E) phase of infection, indicating that the AC biogenesis is controlled by MCMV early genes. Although it is known that CMV infection affects the expression of a large number of host-cell factors that control membranous system, analysis of the host-cell transcriptome and protein expression in the E phase of infection demonstrated no sufficiently significant alteration in expression levels of analyzed markers. Thus, our study demonstrates that MCMV-encoded early phase function targets recruitment cascades of host cell-factors that control membranous flow at the EE-ERC-TGN interface in order to initiate the development of the AC.

Aim: We aimed to investigate the clinical significance and biological function of miR-203a-3p in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: The association between miR-203a-3p expression and clinicopathological parameters in NSCLC was assessed by χ2 test. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model were applied to evaluate the prognosis value of miR-203a-3p. The biological function of miR-203-3p was explored using CCK-8 and transwell assays. Results: Significantly downregulated miR-203a-3p was associated with TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis. AVL9 was identified as a direct target of miR-203a-3p. Functionally, we found overexpression of miR-203a-3p inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion in NSCLC cells by targeting AVL9. Conclusion: Collectively, targeting the miR-203a-3p/AVL9 axis might help to develop useful therapeutic target for NSCLC.

Abstract
The members of the Rab family of small GTPases are molecular switches that regulate distinct steps in different membrane traffic pathways. In addition to this canonical function, Rabs can play a role in other processes, such as cell adhesion and motility. Here, we reveal the role of the small GTPase Rab18 as a positive regulator of directional migration in chemotaxis, and the underlying mechanism. We show that knockdown of Rab18 reduces the size of focal adhesions (FAs) and influences their dynamics. Furthermore, we found that Rab18, by directly interacting with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident protein kinectin-1, controls the anterograde kinesin-1–dependent transport of the ER required for the maturation of nascent FAs and protrusion orientation toward a chemoattractant. Altogether, our data support a model in which Rab18 regulates kinectin-1 transport toward the cell surface to form ER–FA contacts, thus promoting FA growth and cell migration during chemotaxis.

Abstract
Membrane trafficking establishes and maintains epithelial polarity. Rab22a has a polarized distribution in activated T-cells, but its role in epithelial polarity has not been investigated. We showed previously that Rab14 acts upstream of Arf6 to establish the apical membrane initiation site (AMIS), but its interaction with Rab22a is unknown. Here we show that Rab14 and Rab22a colocalize in endosomes of both unpolarized and polarized MDCK cells and Rab22a localizes to the cell:cell interface of polarizing cell pairs. Knockdown of Rab22a results in a multi-lumen phenotype in three-dimensional culture. Further, overexpression of Rab22a in Rab14 knockdown cells rescues the multi-lumen phenotype observed with Rab14 knockdown, suggesting that Rab22a is downstream of Rab14. Because of the relationship between Rab14 and Arf6, we investigated the effect of Rab22a knockdown on Arf6. We find that Rab22a knockdown results in decreased active Arf6 and that Rab22a co-immunoprecipitates with the Arf6 GEF EFA6. In addition, EFA6 is retained in intracellular puncta in Rab22a KD cells. These results suggest that Rab22a acts downstream of Rab14 to traffic EFA6 to the AMIS to regulate Arf6 in the establishment of polarity.

Abstract
Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the transcriptional or posttranscriptional level. According to recent studies, circRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of cancer, but the roles of circRNAs in lung adenocarcinoma are largely unknown. Methods In this study, we identified a novel upregulated circRNA, hsa_circ_0000326, in human lung adenocarcinoma tissues using microarray analysis and qRT-PCR. We then explored the biological role of hsa_circ_0000326 using gain- and loss-of-function assays in adenocarcinoma cells. Bioinformatics databases were used to screen for potential target miRNAs and the luciferase reporter assays and RNA-FISH further validated the interaction. Downstream protein was detected by western blot. Finally, we established xenografts in nude mice to assess the function of hsa_circ_0000326 in vivo. Results We found that high expression of hsa_circ_0000326 was correlated with tumor size, regional lymph node status and differentiation in human lung adenocarcinoma. Additionally, we conducted gain- and loss-of-function assays and found that hsa_circ_0000326 acted as a positive regulator of cell proliferation and migration and a negative regulator of apoptosis. Mechanistic studies showed that hsa_circ_0000326 acted as a miR-338-3p sponge and altered the function of miR-338-3p, which in turn upregulated the expression of the downstream target RAB14 and affected the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma cells. Conclusions Collectively, our study results reveal crucial roles for hsa_circ_0000326 in the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma cells and suggest that hsa_circ_0000326 may represent a potential therapeutic target in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
The multiplex role of cadherin-based adhesion complexes during development of pallial excitatory neurons has been thoroughly characterized. In contrast, much less is known about their function during interneuron development. Here, we report that conditional removal of N-cadherin (Cdh2) from postmitotic neuroblasts of the subpallium results in a decreased number of Gad65-GFP-positive interneurons in the adult cortex. We also found that interneuron precursor migration into the pallium was already delayed at E14. Using immunohistochemistry and TUNEL assay in the embryonic subpallium, we excluded decreased mitosis and elevated cell death as possible sources of this defect. Moreover, by analyzing the interneuron composition of the adult somatosensory cortex, we uncovered an unexpected interneuron-type-specific defect caused by Cdh2-loss. This was not due to a fate-switch between interneuron populations or altered target selection during migration. Instead, potentially due to the migration delay, part of the precursors failed to enter the cortical plate and consequently got eliminated at early postnatal stages. In summary, our results indicate that Cdh2-mediated interactions are necessary for migration and survival during the postmitotic phase of interneuron development. Furthermore, we also propose that unlike in pallial glutamatergic cells, Cdh2 is not universal, rather a cell type-specific factor during this process.

Abstract
As a member of the kinesin-3 family, kinesin family member 16B (KIF16B) has a characteristic PhoX homology (PX) domain that binds to membranes containing phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI(3)P) and moves along microtubule filaments to the plus end via a process regulated by coiled coils in the stalk region in various cell types. The physiological function of KIF16B supports the transport of intracellular cargo and the formation of endosomal tubules. Ras-related protein (Rab) coordinates many steps of membrane transport and are involved in the regulation of KIF16B-mediated vesicle trafficking. Data obtained from clinical research suggest that KIF16B has a potential effect on the disease processes in intellectual disability, abnormal lipid metabolism, and tumor brain metastasis. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the structural and physiological characteristics of KIF16B as well as diseases associated with KIF16B disorders, and speculating its role as a potential adaptor for intracellular cholesterol trafficking.

Abstract
Apical radial glia comprise the pseudostratified neuroepithelium lining the embryonic lateral ventricles and give rise to the extensive repertoire of pyramidal neuronal subtypes of the neocortex. The establishment of a highly apicobasally polarized radial glial morphology is a mandatory prerequisite for cortical development as it governs neurogenesis, neural migration and the integrity of the ventricular wall. As in all epithelia, cadherin-based adherens junctions (AJs) play an obligate role in the maintenance of radial glial apicobasal polarity and neuroepithelial cohesion. In addition, the assembly of resilient AJs is critical to the integrity of the neuroepithelium which must resist the tensile forces arising from increasing CSF volume and other mechanical stresses associated with the expansion of the ventricles in the embryo and neonate. Junctional instability leads to the collapse of radial glial morphology, disruption of the ventricular surface and cortical lamination defects due to failed neuronal migration. The fidelity of cortical development is therefore dependent on AJ assembly and stability. Mutations in genes known to control radial glial junction formation are causative for a subset of inherited cortical malformations (neuronal heterotopias) as well as perinatal hydrocephalus, reinforcing the concept that radial glial junctions are pivotal determinants of successful corticogenesis. In this review we explore the key animal studies that have revealed important insights into the role of AJs in maintaining apical radial glial morphology and function, and as such, have provided a deeper understanding of the aberrant molecular and cellular processes contributing to debilitating cortical malformations. We highlight the reciprocal interactions between AJs and the epithelial polarity complexes that impose radial glial apicobasal polarity. We also discuss the critical molecular networks promoting AJ assembly in apical radial glia and emphasize the role of the actin cytoskeleton in the stabilization of cadherin adhesion – a crucial factor in buffering the mechanical forces exerted as a consequence of cortical expansion.

Abstract
ADAM10 is a transmembrane metalloprotease that is essential for development and tissue homeostasis. It cleaves the ectodomain of many proteins, including amyloid precursor protein, and plays an essential role in Notch signaling. ADAM10 associates with six members of the tetraspanin superfamily referred to as TspanC8 (Tspan5, Tspan10, Tspan14, Tspan15, Tspan17, and Tspan33), which regulate its exit from the endoplasmic reticulum and its substrate selectivity. We now show that ADAM10, Tspan5, and Tspan15 influence each other's expression level. Notably, ADAM10 undergoes faster endocytosis in the presence of Tspan5 than in the presence of Tspan15, and Tspan15 stabilizes ADAM10 at the cell surface yielding high expression levels. Reciprocally, ADAM10 stabilizes Tspan15 at the cell surface, indicating that it is the Tspan15/ADAM10 complex that is retained at the plasma membrane. Chimeric molecules indicate that the cytoplasmic domains of these tetraspanins contribute to their opposite action on ADAM10 trafficking and Notch signaling. In contrast, an unusual palmitoylation site at the end of Tspan15 C-terminus is dispensable. Together, these findings uncover a new level of ADAM10 regulation by TspanC8 tetraspanins.

Abstract
SLC18B1 is a sister gene to the vesicular monoamine and acetylcholine transporters, and the only known polyamine transporter, with unknown physiological role. We reveal that Slc18b1 knock out mice has significantly reduced polyamine content in the brain providing the first evidence that Slc18b1 is functionally required for regulating polyamine levels. We found that this mouse has impaired short and long term memory in novel object recognition, radial arm maze and self-administration paradigms. We also show that Slc18b1 KO mice have altered expression of genes involved in Long Term Potentiation, plasticity, calcium signalling and synaptic functions and that expression of components of GABA and glutamate signalling are changed. We further observe a partial resistance to diazepam, manifested as significantly lowered reduction in locomotion after diazepam treatment. We suggest that removal of Slc18b1 leads to reduction of polyamine contents in neurons, resulting in reduced GABA signalling due to long-term reduction in glutamatergic signalling. A fundamental function of the nervous system is its ability to modulate and change the connections between nerve cells, and this forms the basis for memory and learning. This is most well studied for synapses that are using the neurotransmitter glutamate, and a central part of this is referred to Long Term Potentiation. This process is dependent on a specific glutamate receptor called the NMDA receptor, and the function of this receptor can be controlled by various mechanisms. Here, we show that polyamines can regulate this receptor and that lack of polyamines result in impaired learning and memory. Polyamines are small peptides made by many different cells in the body, including cells in the brain, and by removing a gene coding for a transporter important for the release of polyamines in nerve cells of mice, we show that polyamines are important for proper function of the glutamate system. We also show the deletion of this gene result in fundamentally rearranged GABA and glutamate systems, resulting in the mice having a much higher tolerance for the sedative drug benzodiazepines. Polyamines and targets for these molecules could be important points of intervention for future drugs aiming at modulating the glutamatergic system.

Abstract
Rab proteins are master regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, but they also contribute to cell division, signaling, polarization, and migration. The majority of the works describing the mechanisms used by Rab proteins to regulate cell motility involve intracellular transport of key molecules important for migration. Interestingly, a few studies indicate that Rabs can modulate the activity of Rho GTPases, important regulators for the cytoskeleton rearrangements, but the mechanisms behind this crosstalk are still poorly understood. In this work, we identify Rab6 as a negative regulator of cell migration in vitro and in vivo. We show that the loss of Rab6 promotes formation of actin protrusions and influences actomyosin dynamics by upregulating Cdc42 activity and downregulating myosin II phosphorylation. We further provide the molecular mechanism behind this regulation demonstrating that Rab6 interacts with both Cdc42 and Trio, a GEF for Cdc42. In sum, our results uncover a mechanism used by Rab proteins to ensure spatial regulation of Rho GTPase activity for coordination of cytoskeleton rearrangements required in migrating cells.

CHML promotes liver cancer metastasis by facilitating Rab14 recycle. Nat Commun 2019; 10:2510. [PMID: 31175290 PMCID: PMC6555802 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-10364-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2017] [Accepted: 04/30/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Metastasis-associated recurrence is the major cause of poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), however, the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. In this study, we report that expression of choroideremia-like (CHML) is increased in HCC, associated with poor survival, early recurrence and more satellite nodules in HCC patients. CHML promotes migration, invasion and metastasis of HCC cells, in a Rab14-dependent manner. Mechanism study reveals that CHML facilitates constant recycling of Rab14 by escorting Rab14 to the membrane. Furthermore, we identify several metastasis regulators as cargoes carried by Rab14-positive vesicles, including Mucin13 and CD44, which may contribute to metastasis-promoting effects of CHML. Altogether, our data establish CHML as a potential promoter of HCC metastasis, and the CHML-Rab14 axis may be a promising therapeutic target for HCC.

Abstract
The small GTPases from the Ras superfamily play crucial roles in basic cellular processes during practically the entire process of neurodevelopment, including neurogenesis, differentiation, gene expression, membrane and protein traffic, vesicular trafficking, and synaptic plasticity. Small GTPases are key signal transducing enzymes that link extracellular cues to the neuronal responses required for the construction of neuronal networks, as well as for synaptic function and plasticity. Different subfamilies of small GTPases have been linked to a number of non-neoplastic cerebral diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), intellectual disability, epilepsy, drug addiction, Huntington’s disease (HD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and a large number of idiopathic cerebral diseases. Here, we attempted to make a clearer illustration of the relationship between Ras superfamily GTPases and non-neoplastic cerebral diseases, as well as their roles in the neural system. In future studies, potential treatments for non-neoplastic cerebral diseases which are based on small GTPase related signaling pathways should be explored further. In this paper, we review all the available literature in support of this possibility.

Abstract
Membrane traffic operates by vesicles that bud from precursor organelles and are transported to their target compartment where they dock and fuse. Targeting requires tethering factors recruited by small GTPases and phosphoinositides whereas fusion is carried out by SNARE proteins. Here we report that vesicles containing the Q-SNAREs syntaxin 13 (Stx13) and syntaxin 6 (Stx6) together are targeted to a different endosomal compartment than vesicles containing only Stx6 using injection of artificial vesicles. Targeting by Stx6 requires Vps51, a component of the GARP/EARP tethering complexes. In contrast, targeting by both Stx6 and Stx13 is governed by Vps13B identified here as tethering factor functioning in transport from early endosomes to recycling endosomes. Vps13B specifically binds to Stx13/Stx6 as well as to Rab14, Rab6, and PtdIns(3)P. We conclude that SNAREs use a combinatorial code for recruiting tethering factors, revealing a key function in targeting that is independent of SNARE pairing during fusion. Intracellular vesicle targeting is mediated by Rab GTPases that cooperate with phosphatidylinositides and SNARE proteins, which then facilitate membrane fusion. Here, the authors microinject artificial vesicles into HeLa cells and find that SNAREs play a more prominent role in targeting specificity of trafficking vesicles than previously known.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) comprises two major pathological hallmarks: extraneuronal deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides ("senile plaques") and intraneuronal aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein tau ("neurofibrillary tangles"). Aβ is derived from sequential cleavage of the β-amyloid precursor protein by β- and γ-secretases, while aggregated tau is hyperphosphorylated in AD. Mounting evidence suggests that dysregulated trafficking of these AD-related proteins contributes to AD pathogenesis. Rab proteins are small GTPases that function as master regulators of vesicular transport and membrane trafficking. Multiple Rab GTPases have been implicated in AD-related protein trafficking, and their expression has been observed to be altered in postmortem AD brain. Here we review current implicated roles of Rab GTPase dysregulation in AD pathogenesis. Further elucidation of the pathophysiological role of Rab GTPases will likely reveal novel targets for AD therapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, multiple lines of evidence have demonstrated that linc00662 serves as an oncogene in various cancers. However, the exact mechanism of oncogenesis mediated by linc00662 in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to explore the biological role of linc00662 in the regulation of CRC progression. METHODS Both gene expression omnibus (GEO) and the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) datasets were used to evaluate the expression of linc00662. RT-qPCR was used to analyze the expression of linc00662, miR-497-5p, and AVL9 in CRC clinical samples and cell lines. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), flow cytometry, transwell assay, and xenograft model were used to investigate the effect of linc00662 on CRC cell proliferation, cell cycle, and metastasis. Western blot analysis was used to analyze the expression of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-associated markers. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis and mechanism assays were used to elucidate the underlying mechanism. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were used to analyze the regulatory relationships among linc00662, miR-497-5p, and AVL9. RESULTS In this study, we found that the expression of linc00662 was significantly upregulated in CRC tissues compared to normal tissues and positively correlated with tissue differentiation, T stage, and lymphatic metastasis. Further, our data showed that the expression of linc00662 was positively associated with lymph node metastasis, TMN stage, and poor-moderate differentiation. Patients with higher linc00662 expression level were more likely to have poorer overall survival. Knockdown of linc00662 inhibited CRC cell growth, induced cell apoptosis, triggered cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase, and suppressed cell migration and invasion through regulating the EMT pathway. Further, mechanistic studies revealed that knockdown of linc00662 significantly reduced the expression of AVL9, a direct target of miR-497-5p. CONCLUSIONS Linc00662 was significantly upregulated in CRC, and mediated CRC progression and metastasis by competing with miR-497-5p to modulate the expression of AVL9. Therefore, our result sheds light on the potential application of linc00662 in CRC diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Cytomegaloviruses (CMV) reorganize membranous system of the cell in order to develop a virion assembly compartment (VAC). The development starts in the early (E) phase of infection with the reorganization of the endosomal system and the Golgi and proceeds to the late phase until newly formed virions are assembled and released. The events in the E phase involve reorganization of the endosomal recycling compartment (ERC) in a series of cellular alterations that are mostly unknown. In this minireview, we discuss the effect of murine CMV infection on Rab proteins, master regulators of membrane trafficking pathways, which in the cascades with their GEFs and GAPs organize the flow of membranes through the ERC. Immunofluorescence analyzes of murine CMV infected cells suggest perturbations of Rab cascades that operate at the ERC. Analysis of cellular transcriptome in the course of both murine and human CMV infection demonstrates the alteration in expression of cellular genes whose products are known to build Rab cascades. These alterations, however, cannot explain perturbations of the ERC. Cellular proteome data available for human CMV infected cells suggests the potential role of RabGAP downregulation at the end of the E phase. However, the very early onset of the ERC alterations in the course of MCMV infection indicates that CMVs exploit Rab cascades to reorganize the ERC, which represents the earliest step in the sequential establishment of the cVAC.

Abstract
A "tug-of-war" between kinases and phosphatases establishes the phosphorylation states of proteins. While serine and threonine phosphorylation can be catalyzed by more than 400 protein kinases, the majority of serine and threonine dephosphorylation is carried out by seven phosphoprotein phosphatases (PPPs). The PPP family consists of protein phosphatases 1 (PP1), 2A (PP2A), 2B (PP2B), 4 (PP4), 5 (PP5), 6 (PP6), and 7 (PP7). The imbalance in numbers between serine- and threonine-directed kinases and phosphatases led to the early belief that PPPs are unspecific and that kinases are the primary determinants of protein phosphorylation. However, it is now clear that PPPs achieve specificity through association with noncatalytic subunits to form multimeric holoenzymes, which expands the number of functionally distinct signaling entities to several hundred. Although there has been great progress in deciphering signaling by kinases, much less is known about phosphatases.We have developed a chemical proteomic strategy for the systematic interrogation of endogenous PPP catalytic subunits and their interacting proteins, including regulatory and scaffolding subunits (the "PPPome"). PP1, PP2A, PP4, PP5, and PP6 were captured using an immobilized, specific but nonselective PPP inhibitor microcystin-LR (MCLR), followed by protein identification by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in a single analysis. Here, we combine this approach of phosphatase inhibitor bead profiling and mass spectrometry (PIB-MS) with label-free and tandem mass tag (TMT) quantification to map the PPPome in human cancer cell lines, mouse tissues, and yeast species, through which we identify cell- and tissue-type-specific PPP expression patterns and discover new PPP interacting proteins.
