ANGPTL2-mediated epigenetic repression of MHC-I in tumor cells accelerates tumor immune evasion. Mol Oncol 2023; 17:2637-2658. [PMID: 37452654 DOI: 10.1002/1878-0261.13490] [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: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Loss or downregulation of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) contributes to tumor immune evasion. We previously demonstrated that angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) promotes tumor progression using a Xp11.2 translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC) mouse model. However, molecular mechanisms underlying ANGPTL2 tumor-promoting activity in the tRCC model remained unclear. Here, we report that ANGPTL2 deficiency in renal tubular epithelial cells slows tumor progression in the tRCC mouse model and promotes activated CD8+ T-cell infiltration of kidney tissues. We also found that Angptl2-deficient tumor cells show enhanced interferon γ-induced expression of MHC-I and increased susceptibility to CD8+ T-cell-mediated anti-tumor immune responses. Moreover, we provide evidence that the ANGPTL2-α5β1 integrin pathway accelerates polycomb repressive complex 2-mediated repression of MHC-I expression in tumor cells. These findings suggest that ANGPTL2 signaling in tumor cells contributes to tumor immune evasion and that suppressing that signaling in tumor cells could serve as a potential strategy to facilitate tumor elimination by T-cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity.

Angiopoietin-like 4 promotes epidermal stem cell proliferation and migration and contributes to cutaneous wound re-epithelialization. Acta Biochim Biophys Sin (Shanghai) 2023; 55:1265-1274.

Abstract
Proliferation and migration of epidermal stem cells (EpSCs) are essential for epithelialization during skin wound healing. Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) has been reported to play an important role in wound healing, but the mechanisms involved are not fully understood. Here, we investigate the contribution of ANGPTL4 to full-thickness wound re-epithelialization and the underlying mechanisms using Angptl4-knockout mice. Immunohistochemical staining reveals that ANGPTL4 is significantly upregulated in the basal layer cells of the epidermis around the wound during cutaneous wound healing. ANGPTL4 deficiency impairs wound healing. H&E staining shows that ANGPTL4 deficiency significantly reduces the thickness, length and area of the regenerated epidermis postwounding. Immunohistochemical staining for markers of EpSCs (α6 integrin and β1 integrin) and cell proliferation (PCNA) shows that the number and proliferation of EpSCs in the basal layer of the epidermis are reduced in ANGPTL4-deficient mice. In vitro studies show that ANGPTL4 deficiency impedes EpSC proliferation, causes cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and reduces the expressions of cyclins D1 and A2, which can be reversed by ANGPTL4 overexpression. ANGPTL4 deletion suppresses EpSC migration, which is also rescued by ANGPTL4 overexpression. Overexpression of ANGPTL4 in EpSCs accelerates cell proliferation and migration. Collectively, our results indicate that ANGPTL4 promotes EpSC proliferation by upregulating cyclins D1 and A2 expressions and accelerating the cell cycle transition from G1 to S phase and that ANGPTL4 promotes skin wound re-epithelialization by stimulating EpSC proliferation and migration. Our study reveals a novel mechanism underlying EpSC activation and re-epithelialization during cutaneous wound healing.

The ANGPTL3-4-8 Axis in Normal Gestation and in Gestational Diabetes, and Its Potential Involvement in Fetal Growth. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032486.

Abstract
Dyslipidemia in gestational diabetes has been associated with worse perinatal outcomes. The ANGPTL3-4-8 axis regulates lipid metabolism, especially in the transition from fasting to feeding. In this study, we evaluated the response of ANGPTL3, 4, and 8 after the intake of a mixed meal in women with normal glucose tolerance and gestational diabetes, and we assessed their gene expressions in different placental locations. Regarding the circulating levels of ANGPTL3, 4, and 8, we observed an absence of ANGPTL4 response after the intake of the meal in the GDM group compared to its presence in the control group. At the placental level, we observed a glucose tolerance-dependent expression pattern of ANGPTL3 between the two placental sides. When we compared the GDM pregnancies with the control pregnancies, a downregulation of the maternal side ANGPTL3 expression was observed. This suggests a dysregulation of the ANGPTL3-4-8 axis in GDM, both at the circulating level after ingestion and at the level of placental expression. Furthermore, we discerned that the expressions of ANGPTL3, 4, and 8 were related to birth weight and placental weight in the GDM group, but not in the control group, which suggests that they may play a role in regulating the transplacental passage of nutrients.

Abstract
The mammalian hematopoietic system is remarkably efficient in meeting an organism’s vital needs, yet is highly sensitive and exquisitely regulated. Much of the organismal control over hematopoiesis comes from the regulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by specific microenvironments called niches in bone marrow (BM), where HSCs reside. The experimental studies of the last two decades using the most sophisticated and advanced techniques have provided important data on the identity of the niche cells controlling HSCs functions and some mechanisms underlying niche-HSC interactions. In this review we discuss various aspects of organization and functioning of the HSC cell niche in bone marrow. In particular, we review the anatomy of BM niches, various cell types composing the niche, niches for more differentiated cells, metabolism of HSCs in relation to the niche, niche aging, leukemic transformation of the niche, and the current state of HSC niche modeling in vitro.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a cell fate primarily induced by DNA damage, characterized by irreversible growth arrest in an attempt to stop the damage. Senescence is a cellular response to a stressor and is observed with aging, but also during wound healing and in embryogenic developmental processes. Senescent cells are metabolically active and secrete a multitude of molecules gathered in the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The SASP includes inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and metalloproteinases, with autocrine and paracrine activities. Among hundreds of molecules, angiopoietin-like 2 (angptl2) is an interesting, although understudied, SASP member identified in various types of senescent cells. Angptl2 is a circulatory protein, and plasma angptl2 levels increase with age and with various chronic inflammatory diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes, heart failure and a multitude of age-related diseases. In this review, we will examine in which context angptl2 was identified as a SASP factor, describe the experimental evidence showing that angptl2 is a marker of senescence in vitro and in vivo, and discuss the impact of angptl2-related senescence in both physiological and pathological conditions. Future work is needed to demonstrate whether the senescence marker angptl2 is a potential clinical biomarker of age-related diseases.

Abstract
The angiopoietin-like protein (ANGPTL) family members, except for the novel atypical member ANGPTL8/betatrophin, have been reported to participate in angiogenesis, inflammation and cancer. ANGPTL8/betatrophin is a metabolic regulator that is involved in lipid metabolism and glucose homeostasis. However, little is known about the expression and prognostic value of ANGPTL8/betatrophin in human cancers. In this study, we first conducted detailed analyses of ANGPTL8/betatrophin expression in cancer/normal samples via the Human Protein Atlas (HPA), Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), DriverDBv3, ENCORI and UALCAN databases. ANGPTL8/betatrophin showed high tissue specificity (enriched in the liver) and cell-type specificity (enriched in HepG2 and MCF7 cell lines). More than one databases demonstrated that the gene expression of ANGPTL8/betatrophin was significantly lower in cholangiocarcinoma (CHOL), breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), and significantly higher in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) compared with that in normal samples. However, the protein expression of ANGPTL8/betatrophin displayed opposite results in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC)/KIRC. Based on the expression profiles, the prognostic value was evaluated with the GEPIA, DriverDBv3, Kaplan Meier plotter and ENCORI databases. Two or more databases demonstrated that ANGPTL8/betatrophin significantly affected the survival of KIRC, uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PCPG) and sarcoma (SARC); patients with PCPG and SARC may benifit from high ANGPTL8/betatrophin expression while high ANGPTL8/betatrophin expression was associated with poor prognosis in KIRC and UCEC. Functional analyses with the GeneMANIA, Metascape and STRING databases suggested that ANGPTL8/betatrophin was mainly involved in lipid homeostasis, especially triglyceride and cholesterol metabolism; glucose homeostasis, especially insulin resistance; AMPK signaling pathway; PI3K/Akt signaling pathway; PPAR signaling pathway; mTOR signaling pathway; HIF-1 signaling pathway; autophagy; regulation of inflammatory response. ANGPTL8/betatrophin may be a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target, thus providing evidence to support further exploration of its role in defined human cancers.

Abstract
Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins deliver fatty acids to tissues for oxidation and for storage. Release of fatty acids from circulating lipoprotein triglycerides is carried out by lipoprotein lipase (LPL), thus LPL serves as a critical gatekeeper of fatty acid uptake into tissues. LPL activity is regulated by a number of extracellular proteins including three members of the angiopoietin-like family of proteins. In this review, we discuss our current understanding of how, where, and when ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, and ANGPTL8 regulate lipoprotein lipase activity, with a particular emphasis on how these proteins interact with each other to coordinate triglyceride metabolism and fat partitioning.

Abstract
Dyslipidemia has been identified as an important factor in obesity, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), grouped as cardio-metabolic disorder diseases. Accordingly, dyslipidemia has become a major determinant in health worldwide. Both genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and research studies have focused on the elucidation of potential genetic mechanisms of dyslipidemia and the identification of new gene loci which contribute to the development of cardio-metabolic disorder diseases. Recent results indicate that both the ANGPTL8 gene and ANGPTL8 protein perform vital roles in modulating serum glucose and lipid metabolism. In this review, we examine the modulatory effects of ANGPTL8 and explore the potential mechanisms whereby ANGPTL8 affects serum glucose and lipid metabolism in cardio-metabolic disorder diseases.

Abstract
Dyslipidemia is being identified as the most important factors of several health problems, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which are always grouped together as cardio-metabolic disorder diseases. Consistently, dyslipidemia has become one of the most rising crisis of general health. Recently, it is worth noting that both genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and experimental research are being taken advantage to elucidate the potential genetic mechanisms of dyslipidemia and to identify new gene loci which contribute to the development of cardio-metabolic disorder diseases. According to the results, both ANGPTL8 gene and ANGPTL8 protein has been shown to embrace vital functions in modulating serum glucose and lipid metabolism. In the current review, the modulatory effects of ANGPTL8 in cardio-metabolic disorder diseases were summarized. In addition, novel insights which elucidate the potential mechanisms whereby ANGPTL8 affects glucose and lipid metabolism were also provided.

Abstract
A new and atypical member of the ANGPTL family is angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8). This newly discovered hormone is a drug target that can be used to treat diabetes and dyslipidemia. The protein, as a hepatocyte-derived circulating factor, can control the triglyceride level of plasma. ANGPTL8 is significantly associated with inflammation and metabolic syndrome consequences such as obesity, diabetes, hypothyroidism, and PCOS. ANGPTL8 gene has four exons encoding a 22/5 kDa weight of 198 amino acid polypeptides. A highly preserved ANGPTL8 gene among mammals exhibits the essential hormone functions of ANGPTL8. Nevertheless, the physiological function of this hormone in the body is poorly understood. Studies published in PubMed (2008-2020), Google Scholar (2004-2020), and Scopus (2004-2020) databases of clinical trials were reviewed. This analysis is aimed at collecting information on ANGPTL8. The emphasis of this review was on gathering information about the role of ANGPTL8 in the metabolism of glucose and lipids and cell proliferation. It addition to the different roles of ANGPTL8 in diabetes and lipid metabolism, this review emphasized on the protein role in signaling pathways. The study also proposes the signaling pathways that may be considered as a new target for treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTL) are a family of secretory glycoproteins that are involved in many pathophysiological processes. ANGPTL7 is a newly-discovered member of the ANGPTL family and plays a role in corneal morphogenesis, angiogenesis, glaucoma, and cancer. To date, whether ANGPTL7 is involved in osteoporosis is unknown. Therefore, to discover the effects of ANGPTL7 on osteoporosis, we explored the expression of ANGPTL7 in preosteoblasts and assessed the mechanism underlying its effects on proliferation and differentiation abilities of preosteoblasts. MATERIAL AND METHODS Mouse MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in osteogenic medium for osteogenic differentiation. The expression levels of ANGPTL7 were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot assays. Moreover, the overexpressed plasmid of ANGPTL7 pMSCV-ANGPTL7 was transfected into MC3T3-E1 cells. CCK-8 was used to evaluate cell proliferation. ALP activity detection and alizarin red staining were performed to measure the effect of ANGPTL7 on osteogenic differentiation. The expression levels bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and osteogenic markers ALP, runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osteocalcin (OCN), and collagen I (Col I) were analyzed by Western blot. RESULTS When MC3T3-E1 cells were exposed to osteogenic medium, there was a significant increase in ANGPTL7, and overexpression of ANGPTL7 markedly promoted cell proliferation, ALP activity, and mineralization. Moreover, ANGPTL7 upregulated the levels of BMPs, especially BMP2/7, and the osteogenic markers ALP, Runx2, OCN, and Col I. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that by regulating the expression of BMPs, ANGPTL7 directly promotes proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of osteoblasts.
