Abstract
Cellular Communication Network Factor 2, CCN2, is a profibrotic cytokine implicated in physiological and pathological processes in mammals. The expression of CCN2 is markedly increased in dystrophic muscles. Interestingly, diminishing CCN2 genetically or inhibiting its function improves the phenotypes of chronic muscular fibrosis in rodent models. Elucidating the cell-specific mechanisms behind the induction of CCN2 is a fundamental step in understanding its relevance in muscular dystrophies. Here, we show that the small lipids LPA and 2S-OMPT induce CCN2 expression in fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) through the activation of the LPA1 receptor and, to a lower extent, by also the LPA6 receptor. These cells show a stronger induction than myoblasts or myotubes. We show that the LPA/LPARs axis requires ROCK kinase activity and organized actin cytoskeleton upstream of YAP/TAZ signaling effectors to upregulate CCN2 levels, suggesting that mechanical signals are part of the mechanism behind this process. In conclusion, we explored the role of the LPA/LPAR axis on CCN2 expression, showing a strong cytoskeletal-dependent response in muscular FAPs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dendritic cells (DCs) are differentiated from monocytes, and have a strong ability to perform phagocytosis, present antigens and activate T cell immune response. Therefore, DCs are one of the key factors in fighting cancer in immunotherapy, and it is an important issue to develop a serum-free system for DC differentiation and expansion in vitro for clinical application. RESULTS In this study, IL-6 and M-CSF were determined and a concentration combination of cytokines was optimized to develop an optimal DC serum-free differentiation medium (SF-DC Optimal) that can effectively differentiate CD14+ monocytes into CD40+CD209+ DCs. After differentiation, the morphology, growth kinetics, surface antigen expression, phagocytosis ability, cytokine secretion, mixed lymphocyte reaction and stimulation for maturation of the differentiated DCs were checked and confirmed. Importantly, this research is the first report finding that the addition an extra low concentration of IL-6 and M-CSF exhibited a synergistic effect with GM-CSF and IL-4 to generate higher numbers and more fully functional DCs than the addition of GM-CSF and IL-4 only under serum-free condition. CONCLUSION A large number of functional DCs can be generated by using SF-DC Optimal medium and provide an alternative source of DCs for related basic research and clinical applications.

Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor 3 Promotes Mitochondrial Homeostasis against Oxidative Stress: Potential Therapeutic Approaches for Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11020351. [PMID: 35204233 PMCID: PMC8869156 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11020351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Revised: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a growth factor-like lipid mediator that regulates various physiological functions via activation of multiple LPA G protein-coupled receptors. We previously reported that LPA suppresses oxidative stress in premature aging Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) patient fibroblasts via its type 3 receptor (LPA3). Mitochondria have been suggested to be the primary origin of oxidative stress via the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mitochondria are responsible for producing ATP through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and have a calcium buffering capacity for the cell. Defects in mitochondria will lead to declined antioxidant capacity and cell apoptosis. Therefore, we aim to demonstrate the regulatory role of LPA3 in mitochondrial homeostasis. siRNA-mediated depletion of LPA3 leads to the depolarization of mitochondrial potential (ΔΨm) and cellular ROS accumulation. In addition, the depletion of LPA3 enhances cisplatin-induced cytochrome C releasing. This indicates that LPA3 is essential to suppress the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. LPA3 is also shown to improve mitochondrial ADP-ATP exchange by enhancing the protein level of ANT2. On the other hand, LPA3 regulates calcium uptake from the ER to mitochondria via the IP3R1-VDAC1 channel. Moreover, activation of LPA3 by selective agonist OMPT rescues mitochondrial homeostasis of H2O2-induced oxidative stress cells and HGPS patient fibroblasts by improving mitochondrial ΔΨm and OXPHOS. In summary, our findings imply that LPA3 acts as the gatekeeper for mitochondrial healthiness to maintain cell youth. Furthermore, LPA3 can be a promising therapeutic target to prevent mitochondrial oxidative stress in aging and HGPS.

Abstract
Vertebrates generate mature red blood cells (RBCs) via a highly regulated, multistep process called erythropoiesis. Erythropoiesis involves synthesis of heme and hemoglobin, clearance of the nuclei and other organelles, and remodeling of the plasma membrane, and these processes are exquisitely coordinated by specific regulatory factors including transcriptional factors and signaling molecules. Defects in erythropoiesis can lead to blood disorders such as congenital dyserythropoietic anemias, Diamond–Blackfan anemias, sideroblastic anemias, myelodysplastic syndrome, and porphyria. The molecular mechanisms of erythropoiesis are highly conserved between fish and mammals, and the zebrafish (Danio rerio) has provided a powerful genetic model for studying erythropoiesis. Studies in zebrafish have yielded important insights into RBC development and established a number of models for human blood diseases. Here, we focus on latest discoveries of the molecular processes and mechanisms regulating zebrafish erythropoiesis and summarize newly established zebrafish models of human anemias.

Abstract
Various microplastics (MPs) are found in the environment and organisms. MP residues in organisms can affect health; however, their impacts on metabolism in aquatic organisms remain unclear. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to polyethylene MPs with sizes ranging from 1 to 4 μm at concentrations of 0, 10, 100, and 1000 μg/L for 7 days. Through qPCR technology, the results indicated that zebrafish exposed to polyethylene MPs exhibited significant change in microbes of the phyla Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, and Verrucomicrobia, etc. Moreover, 16S RNA gene sequencing revealed that there was a significant difference in alpha diversity between the control and 1000 μg/L MP-treated groups. At the genus level, the abundance of Aeromonas, Shewanella, Microbacterium, Nevskia and Methyloversatilis have increased remarkably. Conversely, the abundance of Pseudomonas, Ralstonia and Stenotrophomonas were significant reduction after MPs exposure. In addition, the levels of TG (triglyceride), TCHO (total cholesterol), NEFA (nonesterified fatty acid), TBA (total bile acid), GLU (glucose) and pyruvic acid significantly changed in MP-treated larval zebrafish, indicating that their metabolism was disturbed by MPs. Transcriptional levels of glucose and lipid metabolism-related genes showed a decreasing trend. Furthermore, LC/MS-based nontargeted metabolomics analysis demonstrated that a total of 59 phospholipid-related substances exhibited significant changes in larval fish treated with 1000 μg/L MPs. The mRNA levels of phospholipid metabolism-related genes were also obviously changed. Pearson correlation analysis indicated that the abundance of Aeromonas, Shewanella and Chitinibacter bacteria showed a negative correlation with most phospholipids, while Nevskia, Parvibacter and Lysobacter showed a positive correlation with most phospholipids. Based on these results, it is suggested that 1-4 μm PE-MPs could impact the microbiome and metabolism of larval zebrafish. All of these results indicated that the health risk of MPs cannot be ignored.

Abstract
Evidence is growing for the role of red blood cells (RBCs) in vascular homeostasis, including thrombogenic events and inflammation. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is known to induce phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure and the release of RBC Extracellular Vesicles (REVs). Using high sensitivity flow cytometry, we examined the effects and the mechanisms by which the LPA species commonly found in human plasma could activate RBCs. We report that LPA 16:0, 18:0 and 18:1, but not LPA 20:4, induced PS exposure and the release of small PS- and large PS+ REVs through LPA3 receptor signalling in RBCs. The release of large PS+ REVs required higher concentrations of LPA. RBCs were not activated by LPA 20:4. Interestingly, blockade of LPA2 enhanced LPA-mediated PS- REV release in RBCs. Furthermore, LPA receptor agonists and antagonists highlighted that LPA 20:4 inhibited LPA3-dependent PS exposure and, through the LPA2 receptor, inhibited PS- REV production. Activation of RBCs with LPA 18:1 in normal plasma stimulated the release of PS- and PS+ REVs. REVs released in response to LPA were similar to those found in the plasma of systemic lupus erythematosus patients. Our results suggest that LPA species exhibit different biological activities in RBCs through targeting LPA2 and/or LPA3 receptors.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is one of the lipids identified to be involved in stem cell differentiation. It exerts various functions through activation of G protein-coupled lysophosphatidic acid receptors (LPARs). In previous studies, we have demonstrated that activation of LPA receptor 3 (LPA3) promotes erythropoiesis of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and zebrafish using molecular and pharmacological approaches. Our results show that treatment with lysophosphatidic acid receptor 2 (LPA2) agonist suppressed erythropoiesis, whereas activation of LPA3 by 1-oleoyl-2-methyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphothionate (2S-OMPT) promoted it, both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we have demonstrated the inhibitory role of LPA3 during megakaryopoiesis. However, the mechanism underlying these observations remains elusive. In the present study, we suggest that the expression pattern of LPARs may be correlated with the transcriptional factors GATA-1 and GATA-2 at different stages of myeloid progenitors. We determined that manipulation of GATA factors affected the expression levels of LPA2 and LPA3 in K562 leukemia cells. Using luciferase assays, we demonstrate that the promoter regions of LPAR2 and LPAR3 genes were regulated by these GATA factors in HEK293T cells. Mutation of GATA-binding sites in these regions abrogated luciferase activity, suggesting that LPA2 and LPA3 are regulated by GATA factors. Moreover, physical interaction between GATA factors and the promoter region of LPAR genes was verified in K562 cells using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) studies. Taken together, our results suggest that balance between LPA2 and LPA3 expression, which may be determined by GATA factors, is a regulatory switch for lineage commitment in myeloid progenitors. The expression-level balance of LPA receptor subtypes represents a novel mechanism regulating erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis.

Therapeutic Potential of Porcine Liver Decomposition Product: New Insights and Perspectives for Microglia-Mediated Neuroinflammation in Neurodegenerative Diseases. Biomedicines 2020; 8:biomedicines8110446.

Abstract
It is widely accepted that microglia-mediated inflammation contributes to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases; however, the precise mechanisms through which these cells contribute remain to be elucidated. Microglia, as the primary immune effector cells of the brain, play key roles in maintaining central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis. Microglia are located throughout the brain and spinal cord and may account for up to 15% of all cells in the brain. Activated microglia express pro-inflammatory cytokines that act on the surrounding brain and spinal cord. Microglia may also play a detrimental effect on nerve cells when they gain a chronic inflammatory function and promote neuropathologies. A key feature of microglia is its rapid morphological change upon activation, characterized by the retraction of numerous fine processes and the gradual acquisition of amoeba-like shapes. These morphological changes are also accompanied by the expression and secretion of inflammatory molecules, including cytokines, chemokines, and lipid mediators that promote systemic inflammation during neurodegeneration. This may be considered a protective response intended to limit further injury and initiate repair processes. We previously reported that porcine liver decomposition product (PLDP) induces a significant increase in the Hasegawa’s Dementia Scale-Revised (HDS-R) score and the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS) in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy humans. In addition, the oral administration of porcine liver decomposition product enhanced visual memory and delayed recall in healthy adults. We believe that PLDP is a functional food that aids cognitive function. In this review, we provide a critical assessment of recent reports of lysophospholipids derived from PLDP, a rich source of phospholipids. We also highlight some recent findings regarding bidirectional interactions between lysophospholipids and microglia and age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract
Hematopoiesis, the complex developmental process that forms blood components and replenishes the blood system, involves multiple intracellular and extracellular mechanisms. We previously demonstrated that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a lipid growth factor, has opposing regulatory effects on erythrocyte differentiation through activation of LPA receptors 2 and 3; yet the mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. In this study, LPA2 is observed that highly expressed in common myeloid progenitors (CMP) in murine myeloid cells, whereas the expression of LPA3 displaces in megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitors (MEP) of later stage of myeloid differentiation. Therefore, we hypothesized that the switching expression of LPA2 and LPA3 determine the hematic homeostasis of mammalian megakaryocytic-erythroid lineage. In vitro colony-forming unit assays of murine progenitors reveal that LPA2 agonist GRI reduces the erythroblast differentiation potential of CMP. In contrast, LPA3 agonist OMPT increases the production of erythrocytes from megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitor cells (MEP). In addition, treatment with GRI reduces the erythroid, CMP, and MEP populations in mice, indicating that LPA2 predominantly inhibits myeloid differentiation at an early stage. In contrast, activation of LPA3 increases the production of terminally differentiated erythroid cells through activation of erythropoietic transcriptional factor. We also demonstrate that the LPA3 signaling is essential for restoration of phenylhydrazine (PHZ)-induced acute hemolytic anemia in mice and correlates to erythropoiesis impairment of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria Symptom (HGPS) premature aging expressed K562 model. Our results reveal the distinct roles of LPA2 and LPA3 at different stages of hematopoiesis in vivo, providing potentiated therapeutic strategies of anemia treatment.

Abstract
Gelsolin, an actin-remodeling protein, is involved in cell motility, cytoskeletal remodeling, and cytokinesis and is abnormally expressed in many cancers. Recently, human recombinant plasma gelsolin protein (pGSN) was reported to have important roles in cell cycle and maturation of primary erythroblasts. However, the role of human plasma gelsolin in late stage erythroblasts prior to enucleation and putative clinical relevance in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and hemato-oncologic diseases have not been reported. Polychromatic and orthochromatic erythroblasts differentiated from human cord blood CD34+ cells, and human bone marrow (BM) cells derived from patients with MDS, were cultured in serum-free medium containing pGSN. Effects of pGSN on mitochondria, erythroid dysplasia, and enucleation were assessed in cellular and transcriptional levels. With pGSN treatment, terminal maturation at the stage of poly- and ortho-chromatic erythroblasts was enhanced, with higher numbers of orthochromatic erythroblasts and enucleated red blood cells (RBCs). pGSN also significantly decreased dysplastic features of cell morphology. Moreover, we found that patients with MDS with multi-lineage dysplasia or with excess blasts-1 showed significantly decreased expression of gelsolin mRNA (GSN) in their peripheral blood. When BM erythroblasts of MDS patients were cultured with pGSN, levels of mRNA transcripts related to terminal erythropoiesis and enucleation were markedly increased, with significantly decreased erythroid dysplasia. Moreover, pGSN treatment enhanced mitochondrial transmembrane potential that is unregulated in MDS and cultured cells. Our findings demonstrate a key role for plasma gelsolin in erythropoiesis and in gelsolin-depleted MDS patients, and raises the possibility that pGSN administration may promote erythropoiesis in erythroid dysplasia.

Abstract
Stem cells are undifferentiated multipotent precursor cells that are capable both of perpetuating themselves as stem cells (self-renewal) and of undergoing differentiation into one or more specialized types of cells. And these stem cells have been reported to reside within distinct anatomic locations termed “niches”. The long-term goals of stem cell biology range from an understanding of cell-lineage determination and tissue organization to cellular therapeutics for degenerative diseases. Stem cells maintain tissue function throughout an organism’s lifespan by replacing differentiated cells. To perform this function, stem cells provide a unique combination of multilineage developmental potential and the capacity to undergo self-renewing divisions. The loss of self-renewal capacity in stem cells underlies certain degenerative diseases and the aging process. This self-renewal regulation must balance the regenerative needs of tissues that persist throughout life. Recent evidence suggests lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling pathway plays an important role in the regulation of a variety of stem cells. In this review, we summarize the evidence linking between LPA and stem cell regulation. The LPA-induced signaling pathway regulates the proliferation and survival of stem cells and progenitors, and thus are likely to play a role in the maintenance of stem cell population in the body. This lipid mediator regulatory system can be a novel potential therapeutics for stem cell maintenance.

Abstract
Vertebrate hematopoiesis is a complex physiological process that is tightly regulated by intracellular signaling and extracellular microenvironment. In recent decades, breakthroughs in lineage-tracing technologies and lipidomics have revealed the existence of numerous lipid molecules in hematopoietic microenvironment. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a bioactive phospholipid molecule, is one of the identified lipids that participates in hematopoiesis. LPA exhibits various physiological functions through activation of G-protein-coupled receptors. The functions of these LPARs have been widely studied in stem cells, while the roles of LPARs in hematopoietic stem cells have rarely been examined. Nonetheless, mounting evidence supports the importance of the LPA-LPAR axis in hematopoiesis. In this article, we have reviewed regulation of hematopoiesis in general and focused on the microenvironmental and intracellular effects of the LPA in hematopoiesis. Discoveries in these areas may be beneficial to our understanding of blood-related disorders, especially in the context of prevention and therapy for anemia.

Abstract
Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare laminopathy that produces a mutant form of prelamin A, known as Progerin, resulting in premature aging. HGPS cells show morphological abnormalities of the nuclear membrane, reduced cell proliferation rates, accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and expression of senescence markers. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a growth factor‐like lipid mediator that regulates various physiological functions via activating multiple LPA G protein‐coupled receptors. Here, we study the roles of LPA and LPA receptors in premature aging. We report that the protein level of LPA3 was highly downregulated through internalization and the lysosomal degradation pathway in Progerin‐transfected HEK293 cells. By treating Progerin HEK293 cells with an LPA3 agonist (OMPT, 1‐Oleoyl‐2‐O‐methyl‐rac‐glycerophosphothionate) and performing shRNA knockdown of the Lpa3r transcript in these cells, we showed that LPA3 activation increased expression levels of antioxidant enzymes, consequently inhibiting ROS accumulation and ameliorating cell senescence. LPA3 was shown to be downregulated in HGPS patient fibroblasts through the lysosomal pathway, and it was shown to be crucial for ameliorating ROS accumulation and cell senescence in fibroblasts. Moreover, in a zebrafish model, LPA3 deficiency was sufficient to cause premature aging phenotypes in multiple organs, as well as a shorter lifespan. Taken together, these findings identify the decline of LPA3 as a key contributor to the premature aging phenotypes of HGPS cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
Non-planar microstructure-based tissue culture devices have emerged as powerful tools to mimic in vivo physiological microenvironments in a wide range of medical applications. Here we report a spontaneous aqueous molding approach - inspired by Stenocara gracilipes beetles - to rapidly fabricate non-planar microstructure devices for facilitating tissue-based bioassays. The device fabrication is determined from the self-assembled liquid morphology, which is induced by condensation or guided by surface tension. Through experiments and modeling, we reveal that the molding mainly comprises two typical circular and striped domains, highlighting versatile applications for bioengineering. In addition, the molding characteristic is dependent on the geometry of the patterned wetting surfaces, the working volume of the liquid, and the interaction between the liquid and the substrate. The theoretical model, based on the geometry of the patterned liquid, is highly consistent with experimental data. We also demonstrate that our approach can facilitate the culturing of tumor spheroids incorporated with biomimic nano-cilia, rapid high-throughput drug screening, tumor spheroid migration assay, and in vitro modeling of blood vessels. Remarkably, the delivery of multiple concentrations of drugs and their associate mixtures (a total of 25 test spots in one device) can be carried out simultaneously within seconds. Taken together, these insights may offer new opportunities to tailor non-planar microstructures, and our proposed methodology can be applicable for the emerging needs in tumor cell biology and tissue engineering.

Co-stimulation of LPAR 1 and S1PR 1/3 increases the transplantation efficacy of human mesenchymal stem cells in drug-induced and alcoholic liver diseases. Stem Cell Res Ther 2018; 9:161. [PMID: 29898789 PMCID: PMC6000942 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-018-0860-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2017] [Revised: 03/13/2018] [Accepted: 04/03/2018] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background One of the major obstacles facing stem cell therapy is the limited number of functional stem cells available after transplantation due to the harsh microenvironment surrounding the damaged tissue. The aim of this study was to delineate the mechanistic involvement of lysophosphatidic acid receptors (LPARs) and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors (S1PRs) in the regulation of anti-stress and transplantation efficacy of stem cells. Methods Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSCs) were treated with chemical toxin or ethanol to induce cell stress. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and/or sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) were co-treated to examine their protective effects and mechanisms on stem cell damage. Acute liver failure and alcoholic liver disease murine models were also established to test the transplantation efficacy of hADMSCs with or without LPA/S1P pre-incubation. Results Co-stimulation of LPAR1 by LPA and S1PR1/3 by S1P synergistically enhanced the anti-stress ability of hADMSCs induced by chemical or ethanol incubation in vitro. Downstream pathways involved in this process included the Gi protein (but not the G12/13 proteins), the RAS/ERK pathway, and the PI3K/Akt pathway. Upon cell injury, the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) was promoted to facilitate the activation of downstream pro-inflammatory gene transcription, which was ameliorated by co-treatment with LPA and/or S1P. Increased secretion of interleukin (IL)-10 from stem cells by LPA and/or S1P seemed to be one of the major protective mechanisms since blocking IL-10 expression significantly aggravated stress-induced cell damage. In a drug-induced acute liver failure model and a chronic alcoholic liver disease model, pre-conditioning with LPA and/or S1P significantly enhanced the survival ratio and the therapeutic efficacy of hADMSCs in mice, including ameliorating histological damage, oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, lipid metabolism dysfunction, and enhancing alcohol metabolizing enzyme activity. Importantly, supplementing LPA and/or S1P did not alter the basic characteristics of the hADMSCs nor induce tumour formation after cell transplantation. Conclusions Co-use of LPA and S1P represents a novel and safe strategy to enhance stem cell transplantation efficacy for future drug- and alcoholic-related liver disease therapies.

Abstract
Endometriosis has been considered as an estrogen (E2)-dependent and progesterone (P4)-resistant disease. On the other hand, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) has been suggested as a significant modulator of ovarian pathology, acting via both LPA levels and LPA receptor (LPAR) upregulation. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate LPA concentration as well as LPARs, autotaxin (ATX), and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) expression in ovarian endometriotic cysts and normal endometrium with correlation of the expression of E2 and P4 receptors in endometriotic cysts. The analyses were carried out using the tissues derived from 37 patients with ovarian endometriosis and 20 endometrial samples collected from women without endometriosis were used as a control. We found that ovarian endometriotic cysts are a site of LPA synthesis due to the presence of enzymes involved in LPA synthesis in the tissue. Additionally, when we compared endometriotic cysts versus normal endometrium, we were able to show overexpression of 3 from 6 examined LPARs and both enzymes responsible for LPA synthesis in endometriotic cysts. Finally, we found the correlations between LPARs, ATX, and PLA2 and the expression of E2 and P4 receptors in endometriotic cysts. Owing to the high LPAR2 and LPAR4 transcript and protein expression in endometriotic ovarian cysts and positive correlations of both these receptors with the PR-B and ERβ, respectively, those receptors seem to be the most promising predictors of the endometriotic cysts as well as the main receptors responsible for LPA action in the ovarian endometriosis.
