Abstract
There are growing concerns about the neurodevelopmental toxicity of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), but the toxicological phenotypes and mechanisms are not well elucidated. Here, zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) from 4 to 72 h post-fertilization (hpf). The results showed that BDE-47 stimulated the production of dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine, but inhibited expression of Nestin, GFAP, Gap43, and PSD95 in 24 hpf embryos. Importantly, we unraveled the inhibitory effects of BDE-47 on neural crest-derived melanocyte differentiation and melanin syntheses process, evidenced by disrupted expression of wnt1, wnt3, sox10, mitfa, tyrp1a, tyrp1b, tryp2, and oca2 gene in 72 hpf embryos and decreased tyrosinase activities in embryos at 48 and 72 hpf. The transcriptional activities of myosin VAa, kif5ba, rab27a, mlpha, and cdc42 genes, which are associated with intracellular transport process, were also disturbed during zebrafish development. Ultimately, these alterations led to fast spontaneous movement and melanin accumulation deficit in zebrafish embryos upon BDE-47 exposure. Our results provide an important extension for understanding the neurodevelopmental effects of PBDEs and facilitate the comprehensive evaluation of neurotoxicity in embryos.

J Dermatol Sci 2012; 67:26-36. [PMID: 22564683 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdermsci.2012.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2011] [Revised: 03/31/2012] [Accepted: 04/09/2012] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously reported that hirsein A inhibits melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells by downregulating the Mitf gene expression. OBJECTIVE In this study, microarray was employed to determine the transcriptional response of B16 cells to hirsein A (HA) treatment and to find out the mechanism underlying Mitf downregulation. METHODS DNA microarray, spotted with 265 genes for melanogenesis and signal transduction, was performed using the total RNA isolated from B16 cells treated with HA. Validation of the results was done using real-time PCR. In addition, real-time PCR using primers for Mda-7 gene and F-actin staining were performed. Transfection experiments were performed to knockdown the expression of the Mc1r gene to evaluate its role in the cell morphological change observed. RESULTS As expected, the expressions of the Mitf-regulated melanosome transport genes and the Mc1r gene were downregulated. Furthermore, the expressions of the MAPK pathway intermediates were either up- or downregulated. Genes associated with cell differentiation, such as Gadd45b, were upregulated and prompted us to determine the expression of the Il-24 (Mda-7) gene using real-time PCR. There was an increase in the Mda-7 mRNA expression in B16 and HMV-II melanoma cells, and in human melanocytes. To better visualize the cell morphology, F-actin staining was performed and the results showed an increase in the dendrite outgrowth in HA-treated cells. Silencing the Mc1r gene did not cause a change in the B16 cell morphology observed in cells treated with HA. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that HA downregulates Mitf gene expression by regulating the expressions of the MAPK signaling pathway intermediates. In addition, the inhibited Mc1r gene expression also contributed to the overall Mitf downregulation but does not play a role in the observed change in B16 cell morphology. HA surprisingly can regulate genes associated with differentiating cells (Mda-7) suggesting a role for HA in the melanoma cell differentiation induction. While the exact molecular mechanism by which HA promotes cell differentiation remain to be determined, it is clear that HA can downregulate Mitf expression and promote cell differentiation and has the potential to be used in the development of therapy for melanoma.

Abstract
Myosin-Va has been implicated in melanosome translocation, but the exact molecular mechanisms underlying this function are not known. In the dilute, S91 melanoma cells, melanosomes move to the cell periphery but do not accumulate in the tips of dendrites as occurs in wild-type B16 melanocytes; rather, they return and accumulate primarily at the pericentrosomal region in a microtubule-dependent manner. Expression of the full-length neuronal isoform of myosin-Va in S91 cells causes melanosomes to disperse, occupying a cellular area approximately twice that observed in non-transfected cells, suggesting a partial rescue of the dilute phenotype. Overexpression of the full tail domain in S91 cells is not sufficient to induce melanosome dispersion, rather it causes melanosomal clumping. Overexpression of the head and head-neck domains of myosin-Va in B16 cells does not alter the melanosome distribution. However, overexpression of the full tail domain in these cells induces melanosome aggregation and the appearance of tail-associated, aggregated particles or vesicular structures that exhibit variable degrees of staining for melanosomal and Golgi beta-COP markers, as well as colocalization with the endogenous myosin-Va. Altogether, the present data suggest that myosin-Va plays a role in regulating the direction of microtubule-dependent melanosome translocation, in addition to promoting the capture of melanosomes at the cell periphery as suggested by previous studies. These studies also reinforce the notion that myosin-V has a broader function in melanocytes by acting on vesicular targeting or intracellular protein trafficking.

Abstract
We seek to understand how the nerve growth cone acts as a sensory motile machine to respond to chemical cues in the developing embryo. This review focuses on filopodial protrusion and F-actin-based motility because there is good evidence that these processes are required for axon guidance. The clutch hypothesis, which states that filopodial protrusion occurs by actin assembly when an actin filament is fixed with respect to the substrate (i.e., a clutch is engaged), was postulated by Mitchison and Kirscher to link protrusion to actin dynamics. Protrusion would require functional modules for movement of material into filopodia, clutching the F-actin, F-actin assembly at the tip, and retrograde flow. In this review, recent studies of actin-associated proteins involved in filopodial protrusion will be summarized, and their roles will be assessed in the context of the clutch hypothesis. The large number of proteins involved in filopodial motility and their complex interactions make it difficult to understand how these proteins act in protrusion. Recently, we have used microscale chromophore-assisted laser inactivation (micro-CALI) for the focal and acute inactivation of specific actin-associated proteins during filopodial protrusion to address their in situ roles. Our findings suggest that myosin V functions in moving membranes or other material forward in extending filopodia, that talin acts in the clutch module, and that zyxin acts in actin assembly at the tip during filopodial protrusion, perhaps by recruiting Ena/VASP family members to promote actin elongation at this site.
