GSKIP modulates cell aggregation through EMT/MET signaling rather than differentiation in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. J Cell Commun Signal 2023; 17:1039-1054. [PMID: 37133713 PMCID: PMC10409706 DOI: 10.1007/s12079-023-00752-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/04/2023] Open
Abstract
GSK3β interacting protein (GSKIP) is a small A-kinase anchor protein previously reported to mediate the N-cadherin/β-catenin pool for differentiation in SH-SY5Y cells through overexpression of GSKIP to present the neuron outgrowth phenotype. To further investigate how GSKIP functions in neurons, CRISPR/Cas9 technology was utilized to knock out GSKIP (GSKIP-KO) in SH-SY5Y. Several GSKIP-KO clones resulted in an aggregation phenotype and reduced cell growth without retinoic acid (RA) treatment. However, neuron outgrowth was still observed in GSKIP-KO clones treated with RA. The GSKIP-KO clones exhibited an aggregation phenotype through suppression of GSK3β/β-catenin pathways and cell cycle progression rather than cell differentiation. Gene set enrichment analysis indicated that GSKIP-KO was related to epithelial mesenchymal transition/mesenchymal epithelial transition (EMT/MET) and Wnt/β-catenin/cadherin signaling pathways, suppressing cell migration and tumorigenesis through the inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin mediated EMT/MET. Conversely, reintroduction of GSKIP into GSKIP-KO clones restored cell migration and tumorigenesis. Notably, phosphor-β-catenin (S675) and β-catenin (S552) but not phosphor-β-catenin (S33/S37/T41) translocated into the nucleus for further gene activation. Collectively, these results suggested that GSKIP may function as an oncogene to form an aggregation phenotype for cell survival in harsh environments through EMT/MET rather than differentiation in the GSKIP-KO of SH-SY5Y cells. GSKIP Implication in Signaling Pathways with Potential Impact on SHSY-5Y Cell Aggregation.

Abstract
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3)-β (GSK3β) interaction protein (GSKIP) is one of the smallest A-kinase anchoring proteins that possesses a binding site for GSK3β. Recently, our group identified the protein kinase A (PKA)-GSKIP-GSK3β-X axis; knowledge of this axis may help us decipher the many roles of GSKIP and perhaps help explain the evolutionary reason behind the interaction between GSK3β and PKA. In this review, we highlight the critical and multifaceted role of GSKIP in facilitating PKA kinase activity and its function as a scaffolding protein in signaling pathways. We also highlight how these pivotal PKA and GSK3 kinases can control context-specific functions and interact with multiple target proteins, such as β-catenin, Drp1, Tau, and other proteins. GSKIP is a key regulator of multiple mechanisms because of not only its location at certain subcellular compartments but also its serial changes during the developmental process. Moreover, the involvement of critical upstream regulatory signaling pathways in GSKIP signaling in various cancers, such as miRNA (microRNA) and lncRNA (long noncoding RNA), may help in the identification of therapeutic targets in the era of precision medicine and personalized therapy. Finally, we emphasize on the model of the early stage of pathogenesis of Alzheimer Disease (AD). Although the model requires validation, it can serve as a basis for diagnostic biomarkers development and drug discovery for early-stage AD.

Deciphering the evolution of composite-type GSKIP in mitochondria and Wnt signaling pathways. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0262138. [PMID: 35051222 PMCID: PMC8775565 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0262138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
We previously revealed the origin of mammalian simple-type glycogen synthase kinase interaction protein (GSKIP), which served as a scavenger and a competitor in the Wnt signaling pathway during evolution. In this study, we investigated the conserved and nonconserved regions of the composite-type GSKIP by utilizing bioinformatics tools, site-directed mutagenesis, and yeast two-hybrid methods. The regions were denoted as the pre-GSK3β binding site, which is located at the front of GSK3β-binding sites. Our data demonstrated that clustered mitochondria protein 1 (CLU1), a type of composite-type GSKIP that exists in the mitochondria of all eukaryotic organisms, possesses the protein known as domain of unknown function 727 (DUF727), with a pre-GSK3β-binding site and a mutant GSK3β-binding flanking region. Another type of composite-type GSKIP, armadillo repeat containing 4 (ARMC4), which is known for cilium movement in vertebrates, contains an unintegrated DUF727 flanking region with a pre-GSK3β-binding site (115SPxF118) only. In addition, the sequence of the GSK3β-binding site in CLU1 revealed that Q126L and V130L were not conserved, differing from the ideal GSK3β-binding sequence of simple-type GSKIP. We further illustrated two exceptions, namely 70 kilodalton heat shock proteins (Hsp70/DnaK) and Mitofilin in nematodes, that presented an unexpected ideal GSK3β-binding region with a pre-GSK3β sequence; this composite-type GSKIP could only occur in vertebrate species. Furthermore, we revealed the importance of the pre-GSK3β-binding site (118F or 118Y) and various mutant GSK3β-binding sites of composite-type GSKIP. Collectively, our data suggest that the new composite-type GSKIP starts with a DUF727 domain followed by a pre-GSK3β-binding site, with the subsequent addition of the GSK3β-binding site, which plays vital roles for CLU1, Mitofilin, and ARMC4 in mitochondria and Wnt signaling pathways during evolution.

Abstract
A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) are a family of multivalent scaffolding proteins. They engage in direct protein-protein interactions with protein kinases, kinase substrates and further signaling molecules. Each AKAP interacts with a specific set of protein interaction partners and such sets can vary between different cellular compartments and cells. Thus, AKAPs can coordinate signal transduction processes spatially and temporally in defined cellular environments. AKAP-dependent protein-protein interactions are involved in a plethora of physiological processes, including processes in the cardiovascular, nervous, and immune system. Dysregulation of AKAPs and their interactions is associated with or causes widespread diseases, for example, cardiac diseases such as heart failure. However, there are profound shortcomings in understanding functions of specific AKAP-dependent protein-protein interactions. In part, this is due to the lack of agents for specifically targeting defined protein-protein interactions. Peptidic and non-peptidic inhibitors are invaluable molecular tools for elucidating the functions of AKAP-dependent protein-protein interactions. In addition, such interaction disruptors may pave the way to new concepts for the treatment of diseases where AKAP-dependent protein-protein interactions constitute potential drug targets.Here we describe screening approaches for the identification of small molecule disruptors of AKAP-dependent protein-protein interactions. Examples include interactions of AKAP18 and protein kinase A (PKA) and of AKAP-Lbc and RhoA. We discuss a homogenous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) and an AlphaScreen® assay for small molecule library screening and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac myocytes (hiPSC-CMs) as a cell system for the characterization of identified hits.

Abstract
A germ line copy number duplication of chromosome 14q32, which contains ATG2B and GSKIP, was identified in families with myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). Here, we show that mice lacking both Atg2b and Gskip, but not either alone, exhibited decreased hematopoiesis, resulting in death in utero accompanied by anemia. In marked contrast to MPN patients with duplication of ATG2B and GSKIP, the number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), in particular long-term HSCs, in double-knockout fetal livers was significantly decreased due to increased cell death. Although the remaining HSCs still had the ability to differentiate into hematopoietic progenitor cells, the differentiation efficiency was quite low. Remarkably, mice with knockout of Atg2b or Gskip alone did not show any hematopoietic abnormality. Mechanistically, while loss of both genes had no effect on autophagy, it increased the expression of genes encoding enzymes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. Taken together, our results indicate that Atg2b and Gskip play a synergistic effect in maintaining the pool size of HSCs.

Abstract
Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β interaction protein (GSKIP), a key regulator of signaling transduction, is implicated in multiple pathological processes. However, whether GSKIP is involved in myocardial infarction is unknown. The present study was designed to determine the potential involvement of GSKIP in myocardial hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury, as an in vitro model for the study of myocardial infarction. Our data showed that H/R treatment triggered a marked decrease in GSKIP expression in cardiomyocytes. The upregulation of GSKIP significantly rescued the decreased viability of H/R-exposed cardiomyocytes and attenuated H/R-induced apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. On the contrary, the depletion of GSKIP enhanced the sensitivity of cardiomyocytes to H/R-induced injury. Further data exhibited that GSKIP overexpression upregulated the nuclear expression of nuclear factor-erythroid-derived 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and increased Nrf2/antioxidant response element (ARE)-mediated transcription activity associated with upregulation of GSK-3β phosphorylation. Interestingly, inhibition of GSK-3β by a chemical inhibitor markedly enhanced Nrf2/ARE activation and abrogated GSKIP depletion-exacerbated sensitivity to H/R-induced injury. In addition, Nrf2 inhibition markedly reversed GSKIP overexpression-induced cardioprotective effect against H/R injury. Overall, these results demonstrate that overexpression of GSKIP alleviates H/R-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes by enhancing Nrf2/ARE antioxidant signaling via GSK-3β inhibition. Our study indicates a potential role of GSKIP in myocardial infarction and GSKIP may serve as a promising molecular target for cardioprotection.

Abstract
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are clonal hematological malignancies that lead to overproduction of mature myeloid cells. They are due to acquired mutations in genes encoding for AK2, MPL and CALR that result in the activation of the cytokine receptor/JAK2 signaling pathway. In addition, it exists germline variants that can favor the initiation of the disease or may affect its phenotype. First, they can be common risk alleles, which correspond to frequent single nucleotide variants present in control population and that contribute to the development of either sporadic or familial MPN. Second, some variants predispose to the onset of MPN with a higher penetrance and lead to familial clustering of MPN. Finally, some extremely rare genetic variants can induce MPN-like hereditary disease. We will review these different subtypes of germline genetic variants and discuss how they impact the initiation and/or development of the MPN disease.

GSKIP-Mediated Anchoring Increases Phosphorylation of Tau by PKA but Not by GSK3beta via cAMP/PKA/GSKIP/GSK3/Tau Axis Signaling in Cerebrospinal Fluid and iPS Cells in Alzheimer Disease.

Abstract
Based on the protein kinase A (PKA)/GSK3β interaction protein (GSKIP)/glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) axis, we hypothesized that these might play a role in Tau phosphorylation. Here, we report that the phosphorylation of Tau Ser409 in SHSY5Y cells was increased by overexpression of GSKIP WT more than by PKA- and GSK3β-binding defective mutants (V41/L45 and L130, respectively). We conducted in vitro assays of various kinase combinations to show that a combination of GSK3β with PKA but not Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II) might provide a conformational shelter to harbor Tau Ser409. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was evaluated to extend the clinical significance of Tau phosphorylation status in Alzheimer's disease (AD), neurological disorders (NAD), and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). We found higher levels of different PKA-Tau phosphorylation sites (Ser214, Ser262, and Ser409) in AD than in NAD, MCI, and normal groups. Moreover, we used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to produce amyloid precursor protein (APPWT/D678H) isogenic mutants. These results demonstrated an enhanced level of phosphorylation by PKA but not by the control. This study is the first to demonstrate a transient increase in phosphor-Tau caused by PKA, but not GSK3β, in the CSF and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) of AD, implying that both GSKIP and GSK3β function as anchoring proteins to strengthen the cAMP/PKA/Tau axis signaling during AD pathogenesis.

Abstract
Background Targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs) in breast cancer (BrCa) may improve treatment outcome and patient prognosis. Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) is a well-recognized adult stem cell and CRC marker, and previous reports have suggested the cancer-promoting role of LGR5 in breast cancer, but the mechanism remains unclear. Material/Methods Potential LGR5-associating genes were explored using STRING database, and LGR5 overexpression and knockdown was constructed in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-453 human BrCa cells, respectively. PKA catalytic subunit activation and PKA kinase activity in human BrCa cells was examined by Western blot and PKA kinase activity assay, respectively. Protein expression level or activation of β-catenin and GSK-3β in human BrCa cells was investigated by Western blot. Cell proliferation, colony formation, Transwell migration, cisplatin sensitivity, and in vivo tumor formation of human BrCa cells were examined. Results LGR5 overexpression increased PKA activation and its kinase activity in human BrCa cells, which was decreased by LGR5 knockdown. LGR5 expression level or PKA kinase activity were correlated with β-catenin Ser 552 phosphorylation but inversely correlated with GSK-3β Ser9 phosphorylation in human BrCa cells in vitro. LGR5/PKA increased cell proliferation, colony formation, Transwell migration, and cisplatin resistance in vitro, as well as tumor formation in vivo, of human BrCa cells. Conclusions LGR5 activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in human BrCa cells in vitro via PKA.

A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are essential enzymes in the cyclic adenosine 3′-5′ monophosphate (cAMP) signaling cascade. They establish local cAMP pools by controlling the intensity, duration and compartmentalization of cyclic nucleotide-dependent signaling. Various members of the AKAP and PDE families are expressed in the cardiovascular system and direct important processes maintaining homeostatic functioning of the heart and vasculature, e.g., the endothelial barrier function and excitation-contraction coupling. Dysregulation of AKAP and PDE function is associated with pathophysiological conditions in the cardiovascular system including heart failure, hypertension and atherosclerosis. A number of diseases, including autosomal dominant hypertension with brachydactyly (HTNB) and type I long-QT syndrome (LQT1), result from mutations in genes encoding for distinct members of the two classes of enzymes. This review provides an overview over the AKAPs and PDEs relevant for cAMP compartmentalization in the heart and vasculature and discusses their pathophysiological role as well as highlights the potential benefits of targeting these proteins and their protein-protein interactions for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
The A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) GSK3β interaction protein (GSKIP) is a cytosolic scaffolding protein binding protein kinase A (PKA) and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β). Here we show that both the AKAP function of GSKIP, i.e. its direct interaction with PKA, and its direct interaction with GSK3β are required for the regulation of β-catenin and thus Wnt signaling. A cytoplasmic destruction complex targets β-catenin for degradation and thus prevents Wnt signaling. Wnt signals cause β-catenin accumulation and translocation into the nucleus, where it induces Wnt target gene expression. GSKIP facilitates control of the β-catenin stabilizing phosphorylation at Ser-675 by PKA. Its interaction with GSK3β facilitates control of the destabilizing phosphorylation of β-catenin at Ser-33/Ser-37/Thr-41. The influence of GSKIP on β-catenin is explained by its scavenger function; it recruits the kinases away from the destruction complex without forming a complex with β-catenin. The regulation of β-catenin by GSKIP is specific for this AKAP as AKAP220, which also binds PKA and GSK3β, did not affect Wnt signaling. We find that the binding domain of AKAP220 for GSK3β is a conserved GSK3β interaction domain (GID), which is also present in GSKIP. Our findings highlight an essential compartmentalization of both PKA and GSK3β by GSKIP, and ascribe a function to a cytosolic AKAP-PKA interaction as a regulatory factor in the control of canonical Wnt signaling. Wnt signaling controls different biological processes, including embryonic development, cell cycle progression, glycogen metabolism, and immune regulation; deregulation is associated with diseases such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, inflammatory, and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
