Abstract
OBJECTIVE Depression is a common mental illness. Neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (NSC-EVs) are involved in repairing neuronal injury. We estimated the mechanism of miR-16-5p in depression rats. METHODS EVs were extracted from NSCs. The depression rat model was established by corticosterone (CORT) induction and treated with NSC-EVs. The depression behavioral/pathological changes in rats were assessed using forced swimming test, open field test, sucrose consumption test and western blotting. The neuronal apoptosis in hippocampal tissue were detected. CORT-induced PC12 cell model was established. EV uptake by PC12 cells was measured and PC12 cell apoptosis was detected. The downstream targets of miR-16-5p were predicted and verified. The expressions of miR-16-5p and MYB in rats, PC12 cells, and EVs were measured. Functional rescue experiments were conducted to verify the role of miR-16-5p and MYB in PC12 cell apoptosis. RESULTS CORT induction increased neuronal apoptosis in hippocampal tissue and induced depression-like behaviors in rats, while NSC-EV treatment improved depression-like behaviors and apoptosis in rats. In PC12 cells, NSC-EVs decreased CORT-induced PC12 cell apoptosis. NSC-EVs carried miR-16-5p into PC12 cells. miR-16-5p knockdown in EVs partially reversed the inhibitory effects of NSC-EVs on CORT-induced PC12 cell apoptosis. miR-16-5p targeted to inhibit MYB to repress CORT-induced PC12 cell apoptosis. In vivo experiments further verified that NSC-EVs reduced neuronal injury in CORT-induced depression rats via the miR-16-5p/MYB axis. CONCLUSION NSC-EVs-mediated alleviation on neuronal injury by carrying miR-16-5p to target MYB was highly likely one of the mechanisms by which NSC-EVs mediated miR-16-5p in neuroprotection of depression rats.

Abstract
Mammalian genomes encode genes for more than 30 phospholipase A₂s (PLA₂s) or related enzymes, which are subdivided into several classes including low-molecular-weight secreted PLA₂s (sPLA₂s), Ca²+-dependent cytosolic PLA₂s (cPLA₂s), Ca²+-independent PLA₂s (iPLA₂s), platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolases (PAF-AHs), lysosomal PLA₂s, and a recently identified adipose-specific PLA. Of these, the intracellular cPLA₂ and iPLA₂ families and the extracellular sPLA₂ family are recognized as the "big three". From a general viewpoint, cPLA₂α (the prototypic cPLA₂ plays a major role in the initiation of arachidonic acid metabolism, the iPLA₂ family contributes to membrane homeostasis and energy metabolism, and the sPLA₂ family affects various biological events by modulating the extracellular phospholipid milieus. The cPLA₂ family evolved along with eicosanoid receptors when vertebrates first appeared, whereas the diverse branching of the iPLA₂ and sPLA₂ families during earlier eukaryote development suggests that they play fundamental roles in life-related processes. During the past decade, data concerning the unexplored roles of various PLA₂ enzymes in pathophysiology have emerged on the basis of studies using knockout and transgenic mice, the use of specific inhibitors, and information obtained from analysis of human diseases caused by mutations in PLA₂ genes. This review focuses on current understanding of the emerging biological functions of PLA₂s and related enzymes.

Abstract
The hypersensitive response (HR), characterized by a rapid and localized cell death at the inoculation site, is one of the most efficient resistance reactions to pathogen attack in plants. The transcription factor AtMYB30 was identified as a positive regulator of the HR and resistance responses during interactions between Arabidopsis and bacteria. Here, we show that AtMYB30 and the secreted phospholipase AtsPLA(2)-alpha physically interact in vivo, following the AtMYB30-mediated specific relocalization of AtsPLA(2)-alpha from cytoplasmic vesicles to the plant cell nucleus. This protein interaction leads to repression of AtMYB30 transcriptional activity and negative regulation of plant HR. Moreover, Atspla(2)-alpha mutant plants are more resistant to bacterial inoculation, whereas AtsPLA(2)-alpha overexpression leads to decreased resistance, confirming that AtsPLA(2)-alpha is a negative regulator of AtMYB30-mediated defense. These data underline the importance of cellular dynamics and, particularly, protein translocation to the nucleus, for defense-associated gene regulation in plants.

Abstract
Background The transcription factor B-Myb is present in all proliferating cells, and in mice engineered to remove this gene, embryos die in utero just after implantation due to inner cell mass defects. This lethal phenotype has generally been attributed to a proliferation defect in the cell cycle phase of G1. Methodology/Principal Findings In the present study, we show that the major cell cycle defect in murine embryonic stem (mES) cells occurs in G2/M. Specifically, knockdown of B-Myb by short-hairpin RNAs results in delayed transit through G2/M, severe mitotic spindle and centrosome defects, and in polyploidy. Moreover, many euploid mES cells that are transiently deficient in B-Myb become aneuploid and can no longer be considered viable. Knockdown of B-Myb in mES cells also decreases Oct4 RNA and protein abundance, while over-expression of B-MYB modestly up-regulates pou5f1 gene expression. The coordinated changes in B-Myb and Oct4 expression are due, at least partly, to the ability of B-Myb to directly modulate pou5f1 gene promoter activity in vitro. Ultimately, the loss of B-Myb and associated loss of Oct4 lead to an increase in early markers of differentiation prior to the activation of caspase-mediated programmed cell death. Conclusions/Significance Appropriate B-Myb expression is critical to the maintenance of chromosomally stable and pluripotent ES cells, but its absence promotes chromosomal instability that results in either aneuploidy or differentiation-associated cell death.

Abstract
Knowledge of the transcriptional circuitry responsible for pluripotentiality and self-renewal in embryonic stem cells is tantamount to understanding early mammalian development and a prerequisite to determining their therapeutic potential. Various techniques have employed genomics to identify transcripts that were abundant in stem cells, in an attempt to define the molecular basis of 'stemness'. In this study, we have extended traditional genomic analyses to identify cis-elements that might be implicated in the control of embryonic stem cell-restricted gene promoters. The strategy relied on the generation of a problem-specific list from serial analysis of gene expression profiles and subsequent promoter analyses to identify frameworks of multiple cis-elements conserved in space and orientation among genes from the problem-specific list. Subsequent experimental data suggest that 2 novel transcription factors, B-Myb and Maz, predicted from these models, are implicated either in the maintenance of the undifferentiated stem cell state or in early steps of differentiation.

Abstract
In this study, we examine how infection of murine and human fibroblasts by adenovirus (Ad) serotype 5 (Ad5) affects the expression and activity of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and production of PGs. Our experiments showed that infection with Ad5 is accompanied by the rapid activation of cPLA2 and the cPLA2-dependent release of [3H]arachidonic acid ([3H]AA). Increased expression of COX-2 was also observed after Ad infection, as was production of PGE2 and PGI2. Later, however, as the infection progressed, release of [3H]AA and production of PGs stopped. Late-stage Ad5-infected cells also did not release [3H]AA or PGs following treatment with a panel of biologically diverse agents. Experiments with UV-inactivated virus confirmed that Ad infection is accompanied by the activation of a host-dependent response that is later inhibited by the virus. Investigations of the mechanism of suppression of the PG pathway by Ad5 did not reveal major effects on the expression or activity of cPLA2 or COX-2. We did note a change in the intracellular position of cPLA2 and found that cPLA2 did not translocate normally in infected cells, raising the possibility that Ad5 interferes with the PG pathway by interfering with the intracellular movement of cPLA2. Taken together, these data reveal dynamic interactions between Ad5 and the lipid mediator pathways of the host and highlight a novel mechanism by which Ad5 evades the host immune response. In addition, our results offer insight into the inflammatory response induced by many Ad vectors lacking early region gene products.

Abstract
The ability to purify to homogeneity a population of hepatic progenitor cells from adult liver is critical for their characterization prior to any therapeutic application. As a step in this direction, we have used a bipotential liver cell line from 14 days postcoitum mouse embryonic liver to compile a list of cell surface markers expressed specifically by liver progenitor cells. These cells, known as bipotential mouse embryonic liver (BMEL) cells, proliferate in an undifferentiated state and are capable of differentiating into hepatocyte-like and cholangiocyte-like cells in vitro. Upon transplantation, BMEL cells are capable of differentiating into hepatocytes and cholangiocytes in vivo. Microarray and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of gene expression in the 9A1 and 14B3 BMEL cell lines grown under proliferating and differentiating conditions was used to identify cell surface markers preferentially expressed in the bipotential undifferentiated state. This analysis revealed that proliferating BMEL cells express many genes involved in cell cycle regulation, whereas differentiation of BMEL cells by cell aggregation causes a switch in gene expression to functions characteristic of mature hepatocytes. In addition, microarray data and protein analysis indicated that the Notch signaling pathway could be involved in maintaining BMEL cells in an undifferentiated stem cell state. Using GO annotation, a list of cell surface markers preferentially expressed on undifferentiated BMEL cells was generated. One marker, Cd24a, is specifically expressed on progenitor oval cells in livers of diethyl 1,4-dihydro-2,4,6-trimethyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate-treated animals. We therefore consider Cd24a expression a candidate molecule for purification of hepatic progenitor cells. Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest is found at the end of this article.

Abstract
The proto-oncogene c-Myc is involved in early neoplastic transformations. Two consensus Lef/Tcf binding elements (TBE) were found to be prerequisite for transcriptional transactivation by the armadillo proteins beta-catenin and plakoglobin (PG) together with Tcf4 in human neoplastic cells. In epidermal keratinocytes, c-Myc was reported to be repressed by Lef-1 and PG. Using reporter gene assays, here we demonstrate that deletion of the two consensus TBE fails to abrogate transcriptional regulation by Lef-1/PG in wildtype and beta-catenin-/- keratinocytes, while it reduces transcription in pre-neoplastic PG-/- keratinocytes. We identified a TBE sequence variant downstream of the major transcriptional initiation site that binds Lef-1 in vitro and in vivo, and its mutation compromised transcriptional regulation by Lef-1/PG. Collectively, this study demonstrates that the two consensus TBE's reported in neoplastic cells are dispensable for c-Myc regulation in normal keratinocytes, which instead use a novel TBE sequence variant. This unprecedented finding may have important implications for armadillo target genes involved in carcinogenesis.

Abstract
The superfamily of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) enzymes currently consists of 15 Groups and many subgroups and includes five distinct types of enzymes, namely the secreted PLA(2)s (sPLA(2)), the cytosolic PLA(2)s (cPLA(2)), the Ca(2+) independent PLA(2)s (iPLA(2)), the platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolases (PAF-AH), and the lysosomal PLA(2)s. In 1994, we established the systematic Group numbering system for these enzymes. Since then, the PLA(2) superfamily has grown continuously and over the intervening years has required several updates of this Group numbering system. Since our last update, a number of new PLA(2)s have been discovered and are now included. Additionally, tools for the investigation of PLA(2)s and approaches for distinguishing between the different Groups are described.

Abstract
This report documents the characterization of a novel mouse oocyte protein which was originally identified by microsequence analysis of a 67.8 kDa protein spot (pI 5.7) on a Coomassie-stained two-dimensional (2D) gel of murine egg proteins. Tandem mass spectroscopic analysis of the peptides obtained from the cored protein yielded sequences that appeared to match only ovary, egg, and preimplantation embryo cDNAs. We then cloned the novel gene by RACE-PCR, and analysis of the deduced cDNA sequence found that this maternal product was approximately 56% identical to human cytosolic phospholipase A2gamma (cPLA2gamma). Based on this sequence homology, we named the molecule mouse cytosolic phospholipase A2gamma (cPLA2gamma). As with human cPLA2gamma, mouse cPLA2gamma contains a lipase consensus sequence and lacks the calcium binding domain that is found in other PLA2 proteins. However, mouse cPLA2gamma is different from human cPLA2gamma in that mouse cPLA2gamma expression is restricted to the ovary and that the protein does not contain the myristoylation and prenylation lipid-anchoring motifs that are present in human cPLA2gamma. Within oocytes, mouse cPLA2gamma localizes mainly to the oocyte cortex and to the nucleoplasm. Interestingly, during germinal vesicle breakdown, mouse cPLA2gamma aggregates dynamically relocate from the oocyte cortex to the nuclear envelope, suggesting a possible role for this putative egg-restricted phospholipase A2gamma in membrane remodeling. Furthermore, mouse cPLA2gamma protein continues to be expressed in the embryo until the 4-8-cell stage of development, suggesting that mouse cPLA2gamma may function as a previously uncharacterized maternal effect gene.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid and its metabolites are implicated in regulating endothelial cell proliferation. Cytosolic phospholipase A2-alpha (cPLA2alpha) is responsible for receptor-mediated arachidonic acid evolution. We tested the hypothesis that cPLA2alpha activity is linked to endothelial cell proliferation. The specific cPLA2alpha inhibitor, pyrrolidine-1, inhibited umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Exogenous arachidonic acid addition reversed this inhibitory effect. Inhibition of sPLA2 did not affect HUVEC proliferation. The levels of cPLA2alpha did not differ between subconfluent and confluent cultures of cells. However, using fluorescence microscopy we observed a novel, confluence-dependent redistribution of cPLA2alpha to the distal Golgi apparatus in HUVECs. Association of cPLA2alpha with the Golgi was linked to the proliferative status of HUVECs. When associated with the Golgi apparatus, cPLA2alpha activity was seen to be 87% inhibited. Relocation of cPLA2alpha to the cytoplasm and nucleus, and cPLA2alpha enzyme activity were required for cell cycle entry upon mechanical wounding of confluent monolayers. Thus, cPLA2alpha activity and function in controlling endothelial cell proliferation is regulated by reversible association with the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
Cytosolic phospholipase A2-alpha (cPLA2-alpha) is a calcium-activated enzyme that plays an important role in agonist-induced arachidonic acid release. In endothelial cells, free arachidonic acid can be converted subsequently into prostacyclin, a potent vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet activation, through the action of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. Here we study the relocation of cPLA2-alpha in human EA.hy.926 endothelial cells following stimulation with the calcium-mobilizing agonist, A23187. Relocation of cPLA2-alpha was seen to be highly cell specific, and in EA.hy.926 cells occurred primarily to intracellular structures resembling the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi. In addition, relocation to both the inner and outer surfaces of the nuclear membrane was observed. Colocalization studies with markers for these subcellular organelles, however, showed colocalization of cPLA2-alpha with nuclear membrane markers but not with ER or Golgi markers, suggesting that the relocation of cPLA2-alpha occurs to sites that are separate from these organelles. Colocalization with annexin V was also observed at the nuclear envelope, however, little overlap with staining patterns for the potential cPLA2-alpha interacting proteins, annexin I, vimentin, p11 or actin, was seen in this cell type. In contrast, cPLA2-alpha was seen to partially colocalize specifically with the COX-2 isoform at the ER-resembling structures, but not with COX-1. These studies suggest that cPLA2-alpha and COX-2 may function together at a distinct and novel compartment for eicosanoid signalling.

Abstract
Activation of cell cycle elements plays a required role in neuronal apoptosis associated with both development and neurodegenerative disorders. We demonstrated previously that neuron survival requires gene repression mediated by the cell cycle transcription factor E2F (E2 promoter binding factor) and that apoptotic stimuli lead to de-repression of E2F-regulated genes and consequent death. However, the downstream mediators of such death have been unclear. The transcription factors B- and C-myb are E2F-regulated genes that are induced in neurons by apoptotic stimuli. Here, we examine the role of B- and C-myb induction in neuron death. Antisense and siRNA constructs that effectively block the upregulation of B- and C-myb provide substantial protection against death of cultured neuronal PC12 cells, sympathetic neurons, and cortical neurons elicited by either NGF withdrawal or DNA damage. There is also significant protection from death induced by direct E2F-dependent gene de-repression. Our findings thus establish required roles for B- and C-myb in neuronal apoptosis.

Abstract
As detailed in previous reviews, phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes belonging to the secretory PLA2 (sPLA2), cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2), and Ca2+-independent PLA2 (iPLA2) families may play specific physiologic and pathologic roles. In the past two years, there have been considerable advances in the understanding of the regulatory functions of individual PLA2s. This short article focuses on the latest topics in the PLA2 field, which have offered new insights into this intriguing enzyme family. Specifically, I describe a novel cellular action and unexplored in vivo functions of sPLA2, expanding regulatory aspects of cPLA2, and unique functional roles of iPLA2 in apoptosis, Ca2+ homeostasis, and myocardial ischemia.
