Targeting the interaction of pleiotrophin and VEGFA 165 with protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor zeta 1 inhibits endothelial cell activation and angiogenesis. Eur J Pharmacol 2024; 977:176692. [PMID: 38821164 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor zeta 1 (PTPRZ1) is a transmembrane tyrosine phosphatase (TP) that serves as a receptor for pleiotrophin (PTN) and vascular endothelial growth factor A 165 (VEGFA165) to regulate endothelial cell migration. In the present work, we identify a PTN peptide fragment (PTN97-110) that inhibits the interaction of PTN and VEGFA165 with PTPRZ1 but not VEGF receptor 2. This peptide abolishes the stimulatory effect of PTN and VEGFA165 on endothelial cell migration, tube formation on Matrigel, and Akt activation in vitro. It also partially inhibits VEGFA165-induced VEGF receptor 2 activation but does not affect ERK1/2 activation and cell proliferation. In vivo, PTN97-110 inhibits or dysregulates angiogenesis in the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane and the zebrafish assays, respectively. In glioblastoma cells in vitro, PTN97-110 abolishes the stimulatory effect of VEGFA165 on cell migration and inhibits their anchorage-independent growth, suggesting that this peptide might also be exploited in glioblastoma therapy. Finally, in silico and experimental evidence indicates that PTN and VEGFA165 bind to the extracellular fibronectin type-III (FNIII) domain to stimulate cell migration. Collectively, our data highlight novel aspects of the interaction of PTN and VEGFA165 with PTPRZ1, strengthen the notion that PTPRZ1 is required for VEGFA165-induced signaling, and identify a peptide that targets this interaction and can be exploited for the design of novel anti-angiogenic and anti-glioblastoma therapeutic approaches.

Adolescent intermittent ethanol exposure decreases perineuronal nets in the hippocampus in a sex dependent manner: Modulation through pharmacological inhibition of RPTPβ/ζ. Neuropharmacology 2024; 247:109850. [PMID: 38295947 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2024.109850] [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: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
Adolescence is a critical period for brain maturation in which this organ undergoes critical plasticity mechanisms that increase its vulnerability to the effects of alcohol. Significantly, ethanol-induced disruption of hippocampal neurogenesis has been related to cognitive decline in adulthood. During adolescence, the maturation of perineuronal nets (PNNs), extracellular matrix structures highly affected by ethanol consumption, plays a fundamental role in neurogenesis and plasticity in the hippocampus. Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (RPTP) β/ζ is a critical anchor point for PNNs on the cell surface. Using the adolescent intermittent access to ethanol (IAE) model, we previously showed that MY10, a small-molecule inhibitor of RPTPβ/ζ, reduces chronic ethanol consumption in adolescent male mice but not in females and prevents IAE-induced neurogenic loss in the male hippocampus. We have now tested if these effects of MY10 are related to sex-dependent modulatory actions on ethanol-induced effects in PNNs. Our findings suggest a complex interplay between alcohol exposure, neural structures, and sex-related differences in the modulation of PNNs and parvalbumin (PV)-positive cells in the hippocampus. In general, IAE increased the number of PV + cells in the female hippocampus and reduced PNNs intensity in different hippocampal regions, particularly in male mice. Notably, we found that pharmacological inhibition of RPTPβ/ζ with MY10 regulates ethanol-induced alterations of PNNs intensity, which correlates with the protection of hippocampal neurogenesis from ethanol neurotoxic effects and may be related to the capacity of MY10 to increase the gene expression of key components of PNNs.

Abstract
The roles of keratan sulfate (KS) as a proton detection glycosaminoglycan in neurosensory processes in the central and peripheral nervous systems is reviewed. The functional properties of the KS-proteoglycans aggrecan, phosphacan, podocalyxcin as components of perineuronal nets in neurosensory processes in neuronal plasticity, cognitive learning and memory are also discussed. KS-glycoconjugate neurosensory gels used in electrolocation in elasmobranch fish species and KS substituted mucin like conjugates in some tissue contexts in mammals need to be considered in sensory signalling. Parallels are drawn between KS's roles in elasmobranch fish neurosensory processes and its roles in mammalian electro mechanical transduction of acoustic liquid displacement signals in the cochlea by the tectorial membrane and stereocilia of sensory inner and outer hair cells into neural signals for sound interpretation. The sophisticated structural and functional proteins which maintain the unique high precision physical properties of stereocilia in the detection, transmittance and interpretation of acoustic signals in the hearing process are important. The maintenance of the material properties of stereocilia are essential in sound transmission processes. Specific, emerging roles for low sulfation KS in sensory bioregulation are contrasted with the properties of high charge density KS isoforms. Some speculations are made on how the molecular and electrical properties of KS may be of potential application in futuristic nanoelectronic, memristor technology in advanced ultrafast computing devices with low energy requirements in nanomachines, nanobots or molecular switches which could be potentially useful in artificial synapse development. Application of KS in such innovative areas in bioregulation are eagerly awaited.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation, which involves the attachment of carbohydrates to proteins, is one of the most abundant protein co-translational and post-translational modifications. Advances in technology have substantially increased our knowledge of the biosynthetic pathways involved in protein glycosylation, as well as how changes in glycosylation can affect cell function. In addition, our understanding of the role of protein glycosylation in disease processes is growing, particularly in the context of immune system function, infectious diseases, neurodegeneration and cancer. Several decades ago, cell surface glycoproteins were found to have an important role in regulating ion transport across the cardiac sarcolemma. However, with very few exceptions, our understanding of how changes in protein glycosylation influence cardiovascular (patho)physiology remains remarkably limited. Therefore, in this Review, we aim to provide an overview of N-linked and O-linked protein glycosylation, including intracellular O-linked N-acetylglucosamine protein modification. We discuss our current understanding of how all forms of protein glycosylation contribute to normal cardiovascular function and their roles in cardiovascular disease. Finally, we highlight potential gaps in our knowledge about the effects of protein glycosylation on the heart and vascular system, highlighting areas for future research.

Abstract
The perineuronal net (PNN) is a highly latticed extracellular matrix in the central nervous system, which is composed of hyaluronic acid, proteoglycan, hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein (Hapln), and tenascin. PNN is predominantly distributed in GABAergic interneurons expressing Parvalbumin (PV) and plays a critical role in synaptic function, learning and memory, oxidative stress, and inflammation. In addition, PNN's structure and function are also modulated by a variety of factors, including protein tyrosine phosphatase σ (PTPσ), orthodenticle homeo-box 2 (Otx2), and erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 4 (ErbB4). Glycosaminoglycan (GAG), a component of proteoglycan, also influences PNN through its sulfate mode. PNN undergoes abnormal changes during aging and in various neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, and multiple sclerosis. Nevertheless, there is limited report on the relationship between PNN and aging or age-related neurological diseases. This review elaborates on the mechanisms governing PNN regulation and summarizes how PNN abnormalities contribute to aging and neurological diseases, offering insights for potential treatments.
