Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is the common basis for the onset of cardiovascular events. The lipid metabolism theory considers foam cell formation as an important marker for the initiation of AS. Fucoidan is an acidic polysaccharide that can reduce lipid accumulation in foam cells. Studies show that tea polysaccharides can be transported to lysosomes via the tubulin pathway. However, the specific mechanism of action of fucoidan on foam cells has not been extensively studied. Therefore, we further explored the mechanism of action of fucoidan and evaluated whether it could reduce lipid accumulation in foam cells by affecting the expression of lysosomal pathway-related genes and proteins. In this study, three inhibitors, CPZ, EIPA, and colchicine, were used to inhibit endocytosis, macropinocytosis, and the tubulin pathway, respectively, to study the pathways of action. Transcriptomics and proteomics analysis, as well as western blotting and qRT-PCR were used to determine the effects of fucoidan and the inhibitors on lysosomal genes and proteins. Fucoidan could enter foam cells through both endocytosis and via macropinocytosis, and then further undergo intracellular transport via the tubulin pathway. After fucoidan treatment, the expression of lysosomal pathway-related genes and proteins including LAMP2, AP3, AP4, MCOLN1, and TFEB in foam cells increased significantly (P < 0.01). However, the expression of lysosomal genes and proteins after colchicine intervention was comparable with that in the model group. Therefore, the tubulin pathway inhibited by colchicine is an important pathway for the transport and distribution of fucoidan within cells. In summary, fucoidan may be transported to lysosomes via the tubulin pathway and may enhance the expression of lysosomal genes, promoting autophagy, thereby accelerating lipid clearance in foam cells. Due to its significant lipid-lowering effect, it can be used in the clinical treatment of AS.

Abstract
The highly conserved HEATR5 proteins are best known for their roles in membrane traffic mediated by the adaptor protein complex-1 (AP1). HEATR5 proteins rely on fast-evolving cofactors to bind to AP1. However, how HEATR5 proteins interact with these cofactors is unknown. Here, we report that the budding yeast HEATR5 protein, Laa1, functions in two biochemically distinct complexes. These complexes are defined by a pair of mutually exclusive Laa1-binding proteins, Laa2 and the previously uncharacterized Lft1/Yml037c. Despite limited sequence similarity, biochemical analysis and structure predictions indicate that Lft1 and Laa2 bind Laa1 via structurally similar mechanisms. Both Laa1 complexes function in intra-Golgi recycling. However, only the Laa2-Laa1 complex binds to AP1 and contributes to its localization. Finally, structure predictions indicate that human HEATR5 proteins bind to a pair of fast-evolving interacting partners via a mechanism similar to that observed in yeast. These results reveal mechanistic insight into how HEATR5 proteins bind their cofactors and indicate that Laa1 performs functions besides recruiting AP1.

Abstract
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis has been implicated in various physiological processes, including nutrient uptake, signal transduction, synaptic vesicle recycling, maintenance of cell polarity, and antigen presentation. Despite prior knowledge of its importance as a key regulator in promoting clathrin-mediated endocytosis, the physiological function of α- and γ-adaptin binding protein (aagab) remains elusive. In this study, we investigate the biological function of aagab during zebrafish development. We establish a loss-of-function mutant of the aagab gene in zebrafish, revealing impaired swimming and early larval mortality. Given the high expression level of the aagab gene in the brain, we probe into its physiological role in the nervous system. aagab mutants display subdued calcium responses and local field potential in the optic tectal neurons, aligning with reduced neurotransmitter release (e.g., norepinephrine) in the tectal neuropil of aagab mutants. Overexpressing aagab message RNA (mRNA) or nervous stimulant treatment in mutants restores neurotransmitter release, calcium responses, swimming ability, and survival. Furthermore, our observations show delayed release of FM 1-43 in AAGAB knockdown differentiated neuroblastoma cells, pointing towards a probable link to defective clathrin-mediated synaptic vesicle recycling. In conclusion, our study underscores the significance of Aagab in neurobiology and suggests its potential impacts in neurological disorders.

Abstract
AP2 forms AP2 CCV with clathrin and over 60 additional coat proteins. Due to this complexity, we have a limited understanding of CCV life cycle regulation. Synapses contain canonical AP2 CCV, canCCV, and more stable, thereby longer lived, AP2 CCV. The more stable AP2 CCV can be distinguished from canCCV due to the stable binding of Hsc70 to clathrin. The AP1/σ1B complex knockout leads to impaired synaptic vesicle recycling and altered endosomal protein sorting. This causes as a secondary phenotype the twofold upregulation of endocytosis by canCCV and by more stable AP2 CCV. These stable CCV are more stabilized than their wt counterpart, hence stCCV. They have less of the uncoating proteins synaptojanin1 and Hsc70, and more of the coat stabilizing AAK1. Hsc70 clathrin dissociation activity is regulated by complex phosphorylation patterns. Two major groups of hyper- and of hypo-phosphorylated Hsc70 proteins are formed. The latter are enriched in wt stable CCV and stabilized stCCV. Hsc70 T265 phosphorylation regulates binding of CaM/Ca2+. CaM/Ca2+ binding to the T265 domain blocks Hsc70 homodimerization and its concentration in stCCV required for clathrin disassembly. Kinases DYRK1A and CaMK-IIδ can phosphorylate T265 preventing CaM/Ca2+ binding. Their and the levels of STK38L and STK39/Cab39, which are able to phosphorylate additional Hsc70 residues are reduced in stCCV. The stCCV pathway sorts specifically the cell adhesion proteins CHL1 and Neurocan, supporting our model of that the stCCV pathway fulfills specific functions in synaptic plasticity.

Abstract
With his bicentennial breeding history based on athletic performance, the Thoroughbred horse can be considered the equine sport breed. Although genomic and transcriptomic tools and knowledge are at the state of the art in equine species, the epigenome and its modifications in response to environmental stimuli, such as training, are less studied. One of the major epigenetic modifications is cytosine methylation at 5' of DNA molecules. This crucial biochemical modification directly mediates biological processes and, to some extent, determines the organisms' phenotypic plasticity. Exercise indeed affects the epigenomic state, both in humans and in horses. In this study, we highlight, with a genome-wide analysis of methylation, how the adaptation to training in the Thoroughbred can modify the methylation pattern throughout the genome. Twenty untrained horses, kept under the same environmental conditions and sprint training regimen, were recruited, collecting peripheral blood at the start of the training and after 30 and 90 days. Extracted leukocyte DNA was analyzed with the methylation content sensitive enzyme ddRAD (MCSeEd) technique for the first time applied to animal cells. Approximately one thousand differently methylated genomic regions (DMRs) and nearby genes were called, revealing that methylation changes can be found in a large part of the genome and, therefore, referable to the physiological adaptation to training. Functional analysis via GO enrichment was also performed. We observed significant differences in methylation patterns throughout the training stages: we hypothesize that the methylation profile of some genes can be affected early by training, while others require a more persistent stimulus.

Abstract
Purpose Herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) are neurotropic human alphaherpesviruses endemic worldwide. Upon primary infection, both viruses establish lifelong latency in neurons and reactivate intermittently to cause a variety of mild to severe diseases. Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a rare, sight-threatening eye disease induced by ocular VZV or HSV infection. The virus and host factors involved in ARN pathogenesis remain incompletely described. We hypothesize an underlying genetic defect in at least part of ARN cases. Methods We collected blood from 17 patients with HSV-or VZV-induced ARN, isolated DNA and performed Whole Exome Sequencing by Illumina followed by analysis in Varseq with criteria of CADD score > 15 and frequency in GnomAD < 0.1% combined with biological filters. Gene modifications relative to healthy control genomes were filtered according to high quality and read-depth, low frequency, high deleteriousness predictions and biological relevance. Results We identified a total of 50 potentially disease-causing genetic variants, including missense, frameshift and splice site variants and on in-frame deletion in 16 of the 17 patients. The vast majority of these genes are involved in innate immunity, followed by adaptive immunity, autophagy, and apoptosis; in several instances variants within a given gene or pathway was identified in several patients. Discussion We propose that the identified variants may contribute to insufficient viral control and increased necrosis ocular disease presentation in the patients and serve as a knowledge base and starting point for the development of improved diagnostic, prophylactic, and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Background Ovarian cancer (OC) is a common tumor of the female reproductive system, while Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects cognitive function in the elderly. Monocytes are immune cells in the blood that can enter tissues and transform into macrophages, thus participating in immune and inflammatory responses. Overall, monocytes may play an important role in Alzheimer's disease and ovarian cancer. Methods The CIBERSORT algorithm results indicate a potential crucial role of monocytes/macrophages in OC and AD. To identify monocyte marker genes, single-cell RNA-seq data of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from OC and AD patients were analyzed. Enrichment analysis of various cell subpopulations was performed using the "irGSEA" R package. The estimation of cell cycle was conducted with the "tricycle" R package, and intercellular communication networks were analyzed using "CellChat". For 134 monocyte-associated genes (MRGs), bulk RNA-seq data from two diseased tissues were obtained. Cox regression analysis was employed to develop risk models, categorizing patients into high-risk (HR) and low-risk (LR) groups. The model's accuracy was validated using an external GEO cohort. The different risk groups were evaluated in terms of immune cell infiltration, mutational status, signaling pathways, immune checkpoint expression, and immunotherapy. To identify characteristic MRGs in AD, two machine learning algorithms, namely random forest and support vector machine (SVM), were utilized. Results Based on Cox regression analysis, a risk model consisting of seven genes was developed in OC, indicating a better prognosis for patients in the LR group. The LR group had a higher tumor mutation burden, immune cell infiltration abundance, and immune checkpoint expression. The results of the TIDE algorithm and the IMvigor210 cohort showed that the LR group was more likely to benefit from immunotherapy. Finally, ZFP36L1 and AP1S2 were identified as characteristic MRGs affecting OC and AD progression. Conclusion The risk profile containing seven genes identified in this study may help further guide clinical management and targeted therapy for OC. ZFP36L1 and AP1S2 may serve as biomarkers and new therapeutic targets for patients with OC and AD.

Abstract
Loss of NBEAL2 function leads to grey platelet syndrome (GPS), a bleeding disorder characterized by macro-thrombocytopenia and α-granule-deficient platelets. A proportion of patients with GPS develop autoimmunity through an unknown mechanism, which might be related to the proteins NBEAL2 interacts with, specifically in immune cells. Here we show a comprehensive interactome of NBEAL2 in primary T cells, based on mass spectrometry identification of altogether 74 protein association partners. These include LRBA, a member of the same BEACH domain family as NBEAL2, recessive mutations of which cause autoimmunity and lymphocytic infiltration through defective CTLA-4 trafficking. Investigating the potential association between NBEAL2 and CTLA-4 signalling suggested by the mass spectrometry results, we confirm by co-immunoprecipitation that CTLA-4 and NBEAL2 interact with each other. Interestingly, NBEAL2 deficiency leads to low CTLA-4 expression in patient-derived effector T cells, while their regulatory T cells appear unaffected. Knocking-down NBEAL2 in healthy primary T cells recapitulates the low CTLA-4 expression observed in the T cells of GPS patients. Our results thus show that NBEAL2 is involved in the regulation of CTLA-4 expression in conventional T cells and provide a rationale for considering CTLA-4-immunoglobulin therapy in patients with GPS and autoimmune disease.

Novel variants in genes related to vesicle-mediated-transport modify Parkinson's disease risk. Mol Genet Metab 2023; 139:107608. [PMID: 37201419 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgme.2023.107608] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES VPS35 and VPS13 have been associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), and their shared phenotype in yeast when reduced in function is abnormal vacuolar transport. We aim to test if additional potentially deleterious variants in other genes that share this phenotype can modify the risk for PD. METHODS 77 VPS and VPS-related genes were analyzed using whole-genome-sequencing data from 202 PD patients of Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) ancestry. Filtering was done based on quality and functionality scores. Ten variants in nine genes were further genotyped in 1200 consecutively recruited unrelated AJ-PD patients, and allele frequencies and odds ratio calculated compared to gnomAD-AJ-non-neuro database, in un-stratified (n = 1200) and stratified manner (LRRK2-G2019S-PD patients (n = 145), GBA-PD patients (n = 235), and non-carriers of these mutations (NC, n = 787)). RESULTS Five variants in PIK3C3, VPS11, AP1G2, HGS and VPS13D were significantly associated with PD-risk. PIK3C3-R768W showed a significant association in an un-stratified (all PDs) analysis, as well as in stratified (LRRK2, GBA, and NC) analyses (Odds ratios = 2.71, 5.32, 3.26. and 2.19 with p = 0.0015, 0.002, 0.0287, and 0.0447, respectively). AP1G2-R563W was significantly associated in LRRK2-carriers (OR = 3.69, p = 0.006) while VPS13D-D2932N was significantly associated in GBA-carriers (OR = 5.45, p = 0.0027). VPS11-C846G and HGS-S243Y were significantly associated in NC (OR = 2.48 and 2.06, with p = 0.022 and 0.0163, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Variants in genes involved in vesicle-mediated protein transport and recycling pathways, including autophagy and mitophagy, may differentially modify PD-risk in LRRK2-carriers, GBA carriers, or NC. Specifically, PIK3C3-R768W is a PD-risk allele, with the highest effect size in LRRK2-G2019S carriers. These results suggest oligogenic effect that may depends on the genetic background of the patient. An unbiased burden of mutations approach in these genes should be evaluated in additional PD and control groups. The mechanisms by which these novel variants interact and increase PD-risk should be researched in depth for better tailoring therapeutic intervention for PD prevention or slowing disease progression.

Differential Transcriptional Responses in Two Old World Bemisia tabaci Cryptic Species Post Acquisition of Old and New World Begomoviruses. Cells 2022; 11:cells11132060. [PMID: 35805143 PMCID: PMC9265393 DOI: 10.3390/cells11132060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Begomoviruses are transmitted by several cryptic species of the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), in a persistent and circulative manner. Upon virus acquisition and circulative translocation within the whitefly, a multitude of molecular interactions occur. This study investigated the differentially expressed transcript profiles associated with the acquisition of the Old World monopartite begomovirus, tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), and two New World bipartite begomoviruses, sida golden mosaic virus (SiGMV) and cucurbit leaf crumple virus (CuLCrV), in two invasive B. tabaci cryptic species, Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) and Mediterranean (MED). A total of 881 and 559 genes were differentially expressed in viruliferous MEAM1 and MED whiteflies, respectively, compared with their non-viruliferous counterparts, of which 146 genes were common between the two cryptic species. For both cryptic species, the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with TYLCV and SiGMV acquisition were higher compared with DEGs associated with CuLCrV acquisition. Pathway analysis indicated that the acquisition of begomoviruses induced differential changes in pathways associated with metabolism and organismal systems. Contrasting expression patterns of major genes associated with virus infection and immune systems were observed. These genes were generally overexpressed and underexpressed in B. tabaci MEAM1 and MED adults, respectively. Further, no specific expression pattern was observed among genes associated with fitness (egg production, spermatogenesis, and aging) in viruliferous whiteflies. The weighted gene correlation network analysis of viruliferous B. tabaci MEAM1 and MED adults identified different hub genes potentially implicated in the vector competence and circulative tropism of viruses. Taken together, the results indicate that both vector cryptic species and the acquired virus species could differentially affect gene expression.

Lipowsky R. Multispherical shapes of vesicles highlight the curvature elasticity of biomembranes. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 301:102613. [PMID: 35228127 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2022.102613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2021] [Revised: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
Giant lipid vesicles form unusual multispherical or "multi-balloon" shapes consisting of several spheres that are connected by membrane necks. Such multispherical shapes have been recently observed when the two sides of the membranes were exposed to different sugar solutions. This sugar asymmetry induced a spontaneous curvature, the sign of which could be reversed by swapping the interior with the exterior solution. Here, previous studies of multispherical shapes are reviewed and extended to develop a comprehensive theory for these shapes. Each multisphere consists of large and small spheres, characterized by two radii, the large-sphere radius, Rl, and the small-sphere radius, Rs. For positive spontaneous curvature, the multisphere can be built up from variable numbers Nl and Ns of large and small spheres. In addition, multispheres consisting of N*=Nl+Ns equally sized spheres are also possible and provide examples for constant-mean-curvature surfaces. For negative spontaneous curvature, all multispheres consist of one large sphere that encloses a variable number Ns of small spheres. These general features of multispheres arise from two basic properties of curvature elasticity: the local shape equation for spherical membrane segments and the stability conditions for closed membrane necks. In addition, the (Nl+Ns)-multispheres can form several (Nl+Ns)-patterns that differ in the way, in which the spheres are mutually connected. These patterns may involve multispherical junctions consisting of individual spheres that are connected to more than two neighboring spheres. The geometry of the multispheres is governed by two polynomial equations which imply that (Nl+Ns)-multispheres can only be formed within a certain restricted range of vesicle volumes. Each (Nl+Ns)-pattern can be characterized by a certain stability regime that depends both on the stability of the closed necks and on the multispherical geometry. Interesting and challenging topics for future studies include the response of multispheres to locally applied external forces, membrane fusion between spheres to create multispherical shapes of higher-genus topology, and the enlarged morphological complexity of multispheres arising from lipid phase separation and intramembrane domains.

Abstract
Rifampin (RFP), a first-line anti-tuberculosis drug, often induces cholestatic liver injury and hyperbilirubinemia which limits its clinical use. Multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) localizes to the hepatocyte apical membrane and plays a pivotal role in the biliary excretion of bilirubin glucuronides. RFP is discovered to reduce MRP2 expression in liver cells. 4-Phenylbutyrate (4-PBA), a drug used to treat ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (DILI), is reported to alleviate RFP-induced liver cell injury. However, the underlying mechanism still remains unclear. In the current study, we discovered that RFP induced HepG2 cell viability reduction, apoptosis and MRP2 ubiquitination degradation. Administration of 4-PBA alleviated the effect of RFP on HepG2 cell viability reduction, apoptosis and MRP2 ubiquitination degradation. In mechanism, 4-PBA suppressed RPF-caused intracellular Ca2+ disorder and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, as well as the increases of Clathrin and adapter protein 2 (AP2). ER stress marker protein C/EBP homologous protein took part in the modulation of AP2 and clathrin. Besides, 4-PBA reduced the serum bilirubin level in RFP-induced cholestasis mouse model, along with raised the MRP2 expression in liver tissues. These findings indicated that 4-PBA could alleviate RFP-induced cholestatic liver injury and thereby decreased serum total bilirubin concentration via inhibiting ER stress and ubiquitination degradation of MRP2, which provides new insights into the mechanism of 4-PBA in the treatment of RFP-induced cholestasis and liver damage.
