Post-translational targeting of Rab35 by the effector IcsB of Shigella determines intracellular bacterial niche formation. Cell Rep 2024; 43:114034. [PMID: 38568808 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.114034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Escape from the bacterial-containing vacuole (BCV) is a key step of Shigella host cell invasion. Rab GTPases subverted to in situ-formed macropinosomes in the vicinity of the BCV have been shown to promote its rupture. The involvement of the BCV itself has remained unclear. We demonstrate that Rab35 is non-canonically entrapped at the BCV. Stimulated emission depletion imaging localizes Rab35 directly on the BCV membranes before vacuolar rupture. The bacterial effector IcsB, a lysine Nε-fatty acylase, is a key regulator of Rab35-BCV recruitment, and we show post-translational acylation of Rab35 by IcsB in its polybasic region. While Rab35 and IcsB are dispensable for the first step of BCV breakage, they are needed for the unwrapping of damaged BCV remnants from Shigella. This provides a framework for understanding Shigella invasion implicating re-localization of a Rab GTPase via its bacteria-dependent post-translational modification to support the mechanical unpeeling of the BCV.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease with varying clinical outcomes. The identification of distinct subgroups of CRC patients based on molecular profiling can aid in better understanding the disease and improving patient outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the potential of membrane trafficking-related genes (MTRGs) in sub-grouping colorectal cancer patients based on their overall survival and immune microenvironments. Consensus clustering analysis identified two distinct clusters with different expression profiles of membrane trafficking-related genes. The patients in cluster 1 had a significantly better overall survival than those in cluster 2. Furthermore, the immune microenvironments in the two clusters were also found to be significantly different, with cluster 1 having a higher immune score and more immune cells present. Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes between the two clusters revealed that MTRGs were involved in immune response and metabolic processes, and a risk signature model based on MTRGs was established to predict the prognosis of CRC patients. These findings suggest that MTRGs play a crucial role in the immune microenvironment and overall survival of CRC patients and may provide a potential target for personalized therapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common type of cancer in women, and remains one of the major causes of death in women worldwide. It is now well established that alterations in membrane trafficking are implicated in BC progression. Indeed, membrane trafficking pathways regulate BC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis. The 22 members of the ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and the >60 members of the rat sarcoma (RAS)-related in brain (RAB) families of small GTP-binding proteins (GTPases), which belong to the RAS superfamily, are master regulators of membrane trafficking pathways. ARF-like (ARL) subfamily members are involved in various processes, including vesicle budding and cargo selection. Moreover, ARFs regulate cytoskeleton organization and signal transduction. RABs are key regulators of all steps of membrane trafficking. Interestingly, the activity and/or expression of some of these proteins is found dysregulated in BC. Here, we review how the processes regulated by ARFs and RABs are subverted in BC, including secretion/exocytosis, endocytosis/recycling, autophagy/lysosome trafficking, cytoskeleton dynamics, integrin-mediated signaling, among others. Thus, we provide a comprehensive overview of the roles played by ARF and RAB family members, as well as their regulators in BC progression, aiming to lay the foundation for future research in this field. This research should focus on further dissecting the molecular mechanisms regulated by ARFs and RABs that are subverted in BC, and exploring their use as therapeutic targets or prognostic markers.

Abstract
Cilia protrude from the cell surface and play critical roles in intracellular signaling, environmental sensing, and development. Reduced actin-dependent contractility and intracellular trafficking are both required for ciliogenesis, but little is known about how these processes are coordinated. Here, we identified a Rac1- and Rab35-binding protein with a truncated BAR (Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs) domain that we named MiniBAR (also known as KIAA0355/GARRE1), which plays a key role in ciliogenesis. MiniBAR colocalizes with Rac1 and Rab35 at the plasma membrane and on intracellular vesicles trafficking to the ciliary base and exhibits fast pulses at the ciliary membrane. MiniBAR depletion leads to short cilia, resulting from abnormal Rac-GTP/Rho-GTP levels and increased acto-myosin-II-dependent contractility together with defective trafficking of IFT88 and ARL13B into cilia. MiniBAR-depleted zebrafish embryos display dysfunctional short cilia and hallmarks of ciliopathies, including left-right asymmetry defects. Thus, MiniBAR is a dual Rac and Rab effector that controls both actin cytoskeleton and membrane trafficking for ciliogenesis.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel couples membrane excitability to intracellular energy metabolism. Maintaining KATP channel surface expression is key to normal insulin secretion, blood pressure and cardioprotection. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating KATP channel internalization and endocytic recycling, which directly affect the surface expression of KATP channels, are poorly understood. Here we used the cardiac KATP channel subtype, Kir6.2/SUR2A, and characterized Rab35 GTPase as a key regulator of KATP channel endocytic recycling. Electrophysiological recordings and surface biotinylation assays showed decreased KATP channel surface density with co-expression of a dominant negative Rab35 mutant (Rab35-DN), but not other recycling-related Rab GTPases, including Rab4, Rab11a and Rab11b. Immunofluorescence images revealed strong colocalization of Rab35-DN with recycling Kir6.2. Rab35-DN minimized the recycling rate of KATP channels. Rab35 also regulated KATP channel current amplitude in isolated adult cardiomyocytes by affecting its surface expression but not channel properties, which validated its physiologic relevance and the potential of pharmacologic target for treating the diseases with KATP channel trafficking defects.

INSECT SCIENCE 2022; 29:1583-1600.

Abstract
The insulin and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) pathways coordinately regulate insect vitellogenesis and ovarian development. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms such as the genes mediating the cooperation of the interaction of these 2 pathways in regulating insect reproductive development are not well understood. In the present study, a small GTPase, Rab40C, was identified from the notorious agricultural pest Bactrocera dorsalis. In addition to the well-known RAB domain, it also has a unique SOCS-box domain, which is different from other Rab-GTPases. Moreover, we found that Rab40C was enriched in the ovaries of sexually mature females. RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated knockdown of BdRab40C resulted in a decrease in vitellogenin synthesis, underdeveloped ovaries, and low fertility. Furthermore, depletion of insulin receptor InR or the heterodimer receptor of 20E (EcR or USP) by RNAi significantly decreased the transcription of BdRab40C and resulted in lower fecundity. Further studies revealed that the transcription of BdRab40C could be upregulated by the injection of insulin or 20E. These results indicate that Rab40C participates in the insulin and 20E pathways to coordinately regulate reproduction in B. dorsalis. Our results not only provide new insights into the insulin- and 20E-stimulated regulatory pathways controlling female reproduction in insects but also contribute to the development of potential eco-friendly strategies for pest control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Vesicular trafficking dictates protein localization, functional activity, and half-life, providing a critically important regulatory step in tissue development; however, there is little information detailing endothelial-specific trafficking signatures. This is due, in part, to limitations in visualizing trafficking events in endothelial tissues. Our aim in this investigation was to explore the use of a 3-dimensional (3D) in vitro sprouting model to image endothelial membrane trafficking events. METHODS Endothelial cells were challenged to grow sprouts in a fibrin bead assay. Thereafter, spouts were transfected with fluorescent proteins and stained for various cell markers. Sprouts were then imaged for trafficking events using live and fixed-cell microscopy. RESULTS Our results demonstrate that fibrin bead sprouts have a strong apicobasal polarity marked by apical localization of proteins moesin and podocalyxin. Comparison of trafficking mediators Rab27a and Rab35 between 3D sprouts and 2D culture showed that vesicular carriers can be imaged at high resolution, exhibiting proper membrane polarity solely in 3D sprouts. Lastly, we imaged exocytic events of von Willebrand Factor and demonstrated a distinct imaging advantage for monitoring secretion events in 3D sprouts as compared with 2D culture. CONCLUSIONS Our results establish that the fibrin bead sprouting assay is well-suited for imaging of trafficking events during angiogenic growth.

Abstract
Intercellular cross talk between cancer cells and stromal and immune cells is essential for tumor progression and metastasis. Extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) are a heterogeneous class of secreted messengers that carry bioactive molecules and that have been shown to be crucial for this cell-cell communication. Here, we highlight the multifaceted roles of EVPs in cancer. Functionally, transfer of EVP cargo between cells influences tumor cell growth and invasion, alters immune cell composition and function, and contributes to stromal cell activation. These EVP-mediated changes impact local tumor progression, foster cultivation of pre-metastatic niches at distant organ-specific sites, and mediate systemic effects of cancer. Furthermore, we discuss how exploiting the highly selective enrichment of molecules within EVPs has profound implications for advancing diagnostic and prognostic biomarker development and for improving therapy delivery in cancer patients. Altogether, these investigations into the role of EVPs in cancer have led to discoveries that hold great promise for improving cancer patient care and outcome.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor in men across developed countries. Traditional diagnostic and therapeutic methods for this tumor have become increasingly difficult to adapt to today’s medical philosophy, thus compromising early detection, diagnosis, and treatment. Prospecting for new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets has become a hot topic in today’s research. Notably, exosomes, small vesicles characterized by a phospholipid bilayer structure released by cells that is capable of delivering different types of cargo that target specific cells to regulate biological properties, have been extensively studied. Exosomes composition, coupled with their interactions with cells make them multifaceted regulators in cancer development. Numerous studies have described the role of prostate cancer-derived exosomal proteins in diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. However, so far, there is no relevant literature to systematically summarize its role in tumors, which brings obstacles to the later research of related proteins. In this review, we summarize exosomal proteins derived from prostate cancer from different sources and summarize their roles in tumor development and drug resistance.

Abstract
The application of photo-excited dyes for treatment is known as photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT is known to target GTPase proteins in cells, which are the key proteins of diverse signalling cascades which ultimately modulate cell proliferation and death. Cytoskeletal proteins play critical roles in maintaining cell integrity and cell division. Whereas, it was also observed that in neuronal cells PDT modulated actin and tubulin resulting in increased neurite growth and filopodia. Recent studies supported the role of PDT in dissolving the extracellular amyloid beta aggregates and intracellular Tau aggregates, which indicated the potential role of PDT in neurodegeneration. The advancement in the field of PDT led to its clinical approval in treatment of cancers, brain tumour, and dermatological acne. Although several question need to be answered for application of PDT in neuronal cells, but the primary studies gave a hint that it can emerge as potential therapy in neural cells.

Abstract
Endocytosis allows cells to transport particles and molecules across the plasma membrane. In addition, it is involved in the termination of signalling through receptor downmodulation and degradation. This traditional outlook has been substantially modified in recent years by discoveries that endocytosis and subsequent trafficking routes have a profound impact on the positive regulation and propagation of signals, being key for the spatiotemporal regulation of signal transmission in cells. Accordingly, endocytosis and membrane trafficking regulate virtually every aspect of cell physiology and are frequently subverted in pathological conditions. Two key aspects of endocytic control over signalling are coming into focus: context-dependency and long-range effects. First, endocytic-regulated outputs are not stereotyped but heavily dependent on the cell-specific regulation of endocytic networks. Second, endocytic regulation has an impact not only on individual cells but also on the behaviour of cellular collectives. Herein, we will discuss recent advancements in these areas, highlighting how endocytic trafficking impacts complex cell properties, including cell polarity and collective cell migration, and the relevance of these mechanisms to disease, in particular cancer.

Abstract
Dysfunction of pancreatic β cell insulin secretion is related to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Rab proteins have been shown to be key players in insulin secretion by pancreatic β cells, and phogrin is a marker for the processes of exocytosis and insulin secretion. The purposes of this study were to clarify the regulatory role of Rab35 in insulin secretion and analyse the Rab35/phogrin interaction mechanism in β-TC-6 cells. We studied the effects of Rab35 gene overexpression and interference on insulin secretion and phogrin expression and levels in β-TC-6 cells. The Rab35/phogrin interaction was verified by GST pulldown, co-IP and co-localisation experiments. Here, we report that Rab35 is mainly distributed in the β-TC-6-cell plasma membrane and cytoplasm. Rab35 overexpression promotes insulin secretion and decreases phogrin expression in β-TC-6 cells, whereas its silencing significantly inhibits insulin secretion, promotes phogrin expression (p < 0.05) and causes phogrin redistribution. Furthermore, Rab35 silencing suppresses exocytosis of insulin. Rab35 interacts with phogrin, and both proteins co-localise in the plasma membranes and cytoplasm of β-TC-6 cells. Our study presents novel evidence that Rab35 regulates insulin secretion by inhibiting phogrin expression and causing intracellular phogrin redistribution in pancreatic β cells.

Proteomic analysis reveals brain Rab35 as a potential biomarker of mitragynine withdrawal in rats. Brain Res Bull 2021; 172:139-150. [PMID: 33901587 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2021.04.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2021] [Revised: 04/16/2021] [Accepted: 04/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Mitragyna speciosa, also known as kratom, has been used for mitigating the severity of opioid withdrawal in humans. Its main indole alkaloid, mitragynine, has been considered as a pharmacotherapy for pain conditions and opioid replacement therapy. However, at high doses, chronic mitragynine may also have an addiction potential. The effects of chronic action of mitragynine in the brain are still unknown. The present study developed a mitragynine withdrawal model in rats and used it for a proteomic analysis of mitragynine withdrawal effects. Mitragynine (30 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered daily over a period of 14 days and then withdrawn. A proteomic analysis revealed that from a total of 1524 proteins identified, 31 proteins were upregulated, and 3 proteins were downregulated in the mitragynine withdrawal model. The Rab35 protein expression increased most profoundly in the mitragynine withdrawal group as compared to vehicle group. Therefore, it is proposed that Rab35 in the brain might be considered as a potential biomarker during mitragynine withdrawal and might be valuable target protein in developing new pharmacotherapies in the future.

Abstract
At the basis of cell shape and behavior, the organization of actomyosin and its ability to generate forces are widely studied. However, the precise regulation of this contractile network in space and time is unclear. Here, we study the role of the epithelial-specific protein EpCAM, a contractility modulator, in cell shape and motility. We show that EpCAM is required for stress fiber generation and front-rear polarity acquisition at the single cell level. In fact, EpCAM participates in the remodeling of a transient zone of active RhoA at the cortex of spreading epithelial cells. EpCAM and RhoA route together through the Rab35/EHD1 fast recycling pathway. This endosomal pathway spatially organizes GTP-RhoA to fine tune the activity of actomyosin resulting in polarized cell shape and development of intracellular stiffness and traction forces. Impairment of GTP-RhoA endosomal trafficking either by silencing EpCAM or by expressing Rab35/EHD1 mutants prevents proper myosin-II activity, stress fiber formation and ultimately cell polarization. Collectively, this work shows that the coupling between co-trafficking of EpCAM and RhoA, and actomyosin rearrangement is pivotal for cell spreading, and advances our understanding of how biochemical and mechanical properties promote cell plasticity.

miR-720 Regulates Insulin Secretion by Targeting Rab35. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:6662612.

Abstract
miRNAs pose a good prospect in the diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study is aimed at investigating whether miR-720 targets Rab35 to regulate insulin secretion in MIN6 cells and its molecular mechanism and the clinical value of miR-720 as a specific biomarker of T2D. Fifty-five samples of new diagnosis T2D patients and normal control were collected. Levels of miR-720, fasting blood glucose, insulin, and other indicators of glucose and lipid metabolism were determined. We increased and decreased the miR-720 expression using miR-720 mimic and inhibitor to identify the effect of miR-720 on insulin secretion in MIN6 cells, respectively. Then, we used miR-720 mimic, miR-720 inhibitor, and dual luciferase reporter gene assays to prove miR-720 which regulates insulin secretion by targeting Rab35 in MIN6 cells. In addition, we overexpressed and silenced the Rab35 gene to detect the expression of PI3K, Akt, and mTOR in MIN6 cells by RT-PCR and western blot. In this study, circulating miR-720 was significantly higher in the T2D group than the control group, and miR-270 was positive correlated with FBG, while negatively correlated with FINS. The overexpression of miR-720 inhibited insulin secretion, and miR-720 downregulation promoted insulin secretion. miR-720 regulated insulin secretion by targeting Rab35 in MIN6 cells. Compared with the control group, the expression of PI3K, Akt, and mTOR was significantly decreased by the overexpression of the Rab35 gene, while the silencing Rab35 gene could induce the expression of PI3K, Akt, and mTOR. Furthermore, miR-720 mimic could activate the PI3K pathway. We conclude that miR-720 may be a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of T2D. Increase of miR-720 reduced the Rab35 expression then activate the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal pathway, thus inhibiting insulin secretion.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is the most common and deadly malignant brain cancer. We now demonstrate that loss of function of the endosomal GTPase Rab35 in human brain tumor initiating cells (BTICs) increases glioblastoma growth and decreases animal survival following BTIC implantation in mouse brains. Mechanistically, we identify that the GTPase Arf5 interacts with the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Rab35, DENND1/connecdenn, and allosterically enhances its GEF activity toward Rab35. Knockdown of either Rab35 or Arf5 increases cell migration, invasiveness, and self-renewal in culture and enhances the growth and invasiveness of BTIC-initiated brain tumors in mice. RNAseq of the tumors reveals up-regulation of the tumor-promoting transcription factor SPOCD1, and disruption of the Arf5/Rab35 axis in glioblastoma cells leads to strong activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor, with resulting enhancement of SPOCD1 levels. These discoveries reveal an unexpected cascade between an Arf and a Rab and indicate a role for the cascade, and thus endosomal trafficking, in brain tumors.

Abstract
Background: To investigate how EHD2 influences the development of colon cancer.Methods: Immunohistochemistry of 90 colon cancer tissue specimens were determined the expression of EHD2. The lentivirus-EHD2-transfected colon cancer cells were conducted to evaluate the biological behaviors.Results: EHD2 was closely associated with clinic pathological parameters (p < 0.001). EHD2 upregulation was relative with a longer overall survival. The results of the univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that EHD2 could be an independent prognosis marker. EHD2 overexpression suppressed cell invasion and proliferation, but enhanced cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.Conclusions: EHD2 might represent a therapeutic target of colon cancer.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? Membrane trafficking is crucial for cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis, especially tumorigenesis and development. EHD2 proteins play an important role in the regulation of membrane trafficking in endocytosis. EHD2 has been suggested to participate in the occurrence of some malignancies.What are the new findings? EHD2 could be an independent prognosis marker in colon cancer. EHD2 overexpression suppressed cell invasion and proliferation, but enhanced cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in vitro. EHD2 overexpression markedly increased the expression of EMT marker E-cadherin in colon cancer.How might it impact on clinical practice in the foreseeable future? EHD2 overexpression may inhibit tumorigenesis in colon cancer through the modulation of E-cadherin, the critical marker of EMT which is closely related to invasion and distant metastasis of tumor cells.

Abstract
The core machinery for vesicular membrane trafficking broadly comprises of coat proteins, RABs, tethering complexes and SNAREs. As cellular membrane traffic modulates key processes of mitogenic signaling, cell migration, cell death and autophagy, its dysregulation could potentially results in increased cell proliferation and survival, or enhanced migration and invasion. Changes in the levels of some components of the core machinery of vesicular membrane trafficking, likely due to gene amplifications and/or alterations in epigenetic factors (such as DNA methylation and micro RNA) have been extensively associated with human cancers. Here, we provide an overview of association of membrane trafficking with cancer, with a focus on mutations and variants of coat proteins, RABs, tethering complex components and SNAREs that have been uncovered in human cancer cells/tissues. The major cellular and molecular cancer-driving or suppression mechanisms associated with these components of the core membrane trafficking machinery shall be discussed.

Abstract
Ras-related protein Rab-31 (RAB31), a small guanosine 5'-triphosphate-binding protein, is a member of the Rab family and has been demonstrated to serve an oncogenic role in several common types of human cancer. However, the function of RAB31 in osteosarcoma (OS) has not been previously studied. The present study identified that the expression levels of RAB31 were significantly higher in OS tissue samples compared with matched adjacent non-tumor tissue samples, and high RAB31 expression was associated with malignant progression and a poor prognosis for patients with OS. Furthermore, it was identified that the expression levels of RAB31 were increased in OS cell lines compared with normal osteoblast cells. Silencing of RAB31 expression significantly inhibited OS cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, migration and invasion, and significantly increased the rate of cell apoptosis. In addition, the present study used a luciferase reporter assay to demonstrate that RAB31 was a direct target gene of microRNA-26b (miR-26b), which is a known tumor suppressor in OS. The expression levels of RAB31 were negatively associated with miR-26b expression in OS cells. Finally, miR-26b was demonstrated to be significantly decreased in OS tissues compared with adjacent non-tumor tissues, and an inverse correlation was observed between the expression levels of RAB31 and miR-26b in OS tissues. In summary, to the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to report that RAB31 is a target gene of miR-26b, and silencing of RAB31 may inhibit OS growth and progression.

Abstract
The Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) family mediates membrane fusion during membrane trafficking and autophagy in all eukaryotic cells, with a number of SNAREs having cell type-specific functions. The endosome-trans-Golgi network (TGN) localized SNARE, Vesicle transport through interaction with t-SNAREs 1A (Vti1a), is unique among SNAREs in that it has numerous neuron-specific functions. These include neurite outgrowth, nervous system development, spontaneous neurotransmission, synaptic vesicle and dense core vesicle secretion, as well as a process of unconventional surface transport of the Kv4 potassium channel. Furthermore, the human VT11A gene is known to form fusion products with neighboring genes in cancer tissues, and VT11A variants are associated with risk in cancers, including glioma. In this review, I highlight VTI1A's known physio-pathological roles in brain neurons, as well as unanswered questions in these regards.

Abstract
Neuropathological disorders are increasingly associated with dysfunctions in neuronal membrane traffic and autophagy, with defects among members of the Rab family of small GTPases implicated. Mutations in the human Xq28 localized gene RAB39B have been associated with X-linked neurodevelopmental defects including macrocephaly, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as rare cases of early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite the finding that RAB39B regulates GluA2 trafficking and could thus influence synaptic α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor subunit composition, reasons for the wide-ranging neuropathological consequences associated with RAB39B defects have been unclear. Recent studies have now unraveled possible mechanisms underlying the neuropathological roles of this brain-enriched small GTPase. Studies in RAB39B knockout mice showed that RAB39B interacts with components of Class I phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling. In its absence, the PI3K-AKT-mechanistic target of rapamycin signaling pathway in neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is hyperactivated, which promotes NPC proliferation, leading to macrocephaly and ASD. Pertaining to early-onset PD, a complex of C9orf72, Smith-Magenis syndrome chromosome region candidate 8 and WD repeat domain 41 that functions in autophagy has been identified as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor of RAB39B. Here, recent findings that have shed light on our mechanistic understanding of RAB39B's role in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative pathologies are reviewed. Caveats and unanswered questions are also discussed, and future perspectives outlined.

Abstract
The Rab GTPase family of proteins are mediators of membrane trafficking, conferring identity to the cell membranes. Recently, Rab and Rab-associated factors have been recognized as major regulators of the intracellular positioning and activity of signaling pathways regulating cell growth, survival and programmed cell death or apoptosis. Membrane trafficking mediated by Rab proteins is controlled by intracellular localization of Rab proteins, Rab-membrane interactions and GTP-activation processes. Aberrant expression of Rab proteins has been reported in multiple cancers such as lung, brain and breast malignancies. Mutations in Rab-coding genes and/or post-translational modifications in their protein products disrupt the cellular vesicle trafficking network modulating tumorigenic potential, cellular migration and metastatic behavior. Conversely, Rabs also act as tumor suppressive factors inducing apoptosis and inhibiting angiogenesis. Deconstructing the signaling mechanisms modulated by Rab proteins during apoptosis could unveil underlying molecular mechanisms that may be exploited therapeutically to selectively target malignant cells.

Abstract
This paper describes the dynamics of proteins and lipids during exocytosis of MMP-9 from cancer cells in real time using fluorescence microscopy. Stephens et al. find that core exocytic proteins, accessory proteins, and lipids are involved at sites of secretory vesicle fusion. Altered regulation of exocytosis is an important mechanism controlling many diseases, including cancer. Defects in exocytosis have been implicated in many cancer cell types and are generally attributed to mutations in cellular transport, trafficking, and assembly of machinery necessary for exocytosis of secretory vesicle cargo. In these cancers, up-regulation of trafficking and secretion of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), a proteolytic enzyme, is responsible for degrading the extracellular matrix, a necessary step in tumor progression. Using TIRF microscopy, we identified proteins associated with secretory vesicles containing MMP-9 and imaged the local dynamics of these proteins at fusion sites during regulated exocytosis of MMP-9 from MCF-7 breast cancer cells. We found that many regulators of exocytosis, including several Rab GTPases, Rab effector proteins, and SNARE/SNARE modulator proteins, are stably assembled on docked secretory vesicles before exocytosis. At the moment of fusion, many of these components are quickly lost from the vesicle, while several endocytic proteins and lipids are simultaneously recruited to exocytic sites at precisely that moment. Our findings provide insight into the dynamic behavior of key core exocytic proteins, accessory proteins, lipids, and some endocytic proteins at single sites of secretory vesicle fusion in breast cancer cells.

Abstract
We recently identified the novel function of the small GTPase RAB-35 in apoptotic cell clearance in Caenorhabditis elegans, a process in which dying cells are engulfed and degraded inside phagosomes. We have found that RAB-35 functions in two separate steps of cell corpse clearance, cell corpse recognition and the initiation of phagosome maturation. During the latter process, RAB-35 facilitates the removal of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) from the membranes of nascent phagosomes and the simultaneous production of phosphatidylinositol-3-P (PI(3)P) on these same membranes, a process that we have coined the PI(4,5)P2 to PI(3)P shift. RAB-35 also promotes the recruitment of the small GTPase RAB-5 to the phagosomal surface. During these processes, the activity of RAB-35 is controlled by the candidate GTPase-activating protein (GAP) TBC-10 and the candidate guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) FLCN-1. Overall, RAB-35 leads a third pathway during cell corpse clearance that functions in parallel to the two known pathways, one led by the phagocytic receptor CED-1 and the other led by the CED-10/Rac1 GTPase. Here, we further report that RAB-35 acts as a robustness factor that maintains the clearance activity and embryonic viability under conditions of heat stress. Moreover, we obtained additional evidence suggesting that RAB-35 acts upstream of RAB-5 and RAB-7. To establish a precise temporal pattern for its own dissociation from phagosomal surfaces, RAB-35 controls the removal of its own GAP. We propose that RAB-35 defines a largely unexplored initial phase of phagosome maturation.

Abstract
Rab proteins compose the largest family of small GTPases and control the different steps of intracellular membrane traffic. More recently, they have been shown to also regulate cell signaling, division, survival, and migration. The regulation of these processes generally occurs through recruitment of effectors and regulatory proteins, which control the association of Rab proteins to membranes and their activation state. Alterations in Rab proteins and their effectors are associated with multiple human diseases, including neurodegeneration, cancer, and infections. This review provides an overview of how the dysregulation of Rab-mediated functions and membrane trafficking contributes to these disorders. Understanding the altered dynamics of Rabs and intracellular transport defects might thus shed new light on potential therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Rab35, a master regulator of membrane trafficking, regulates diverse cellular processes and is associated with various human diseases. Although a number of effectors have been identified, the molecular basis of Rab35-effector interactions remains unclear. Here, we provide the high-resolution crystal structures of Rab35 in complex with its two specific effectors ACAP2 and RUSC2, respectively. In the Rab35/ACAP2 complex structure, Rab35 binds to the terminal ankyrin repeat and a C-terminal extended α helix of ACAP2, revealing a previously uncharacterized binding mode both for Rabs and ankyrin repeats. In the Rab35/RUSC2 complex structure, Arg1015 of RUSC2 functions as a "pseudo-arginine finger" that stabilizes the GTP-bound Rab35, thus facilitating the assembly of Rab35/RUSC2 complex. The structural analysis allows us to design specific Rab35 mutants capable of eliminating Rab35/ACAP2 and Rab35/RUSC2 interactions, but not interfering with other effector bindings. The atomic structures also offer possible explanations to disease-associated mutants identified at the Rab35-effector interfaces.

[PMID: 30826396 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2019.02.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2018] [Revised: 02/13/2019] [Accepted: 02/27/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the functional role of Rab39a in human cervical cancer (CC) and the underlying molecular mechanisms. We first measured Rab39a mRNA expression in CC tissues and paired non-tumor tissues by quantitative real-time PCR (QRT-PCR). Overall survival of CC patients with different mRNA levels of Rab39a in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was assessed by Kaplan-Meier survival curves analysis. Next methylation-specific PCR (MSP) was performed to determine the expression mechanism of Rab39a. Then cell proliferation, migration and invasion of Rab39a-transfected or mock-transfected cervical cancer cells were determined by CCK-8, flow cytometry, wound healing, transwell migration and invasion assays, respectively. Finally, the molecular mechanism by which Rab39a modulated CC cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was explored. It was found that Rab39a mRNA was significantly down-regulated in the high-risk patients compared to the low-risk patients (p = 0.0054). Six of seven cancer tissues with lymph node metastasis express low Rab39a mRNA compared to the surrounding non-tumor tissues. Cervical cancer patients with low level of Rab39a were showed a poorly clinical outcome (p = 0.004). Loss of Rab39a expression in cervical cancer tissues was associated with the aberrant DNA methylation in the promoter of Rab39a gene. Disrupted Rab39a expression in cervical cancer cells could be restored after treatment with the demethylated agent 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine. Furthermore, it was found that Rab39a hardly influenced cell growth but significantly suppressed cell migration, invasion and EMT process. Rab39a exerted its potential suppressor functions through inhibiting AKT phosphorylation. The inhibition effects of Rab39a could be blocked by AKT pathway inhibitor. Collectively, our data shows that Rab39a is a potential epigenetic silenced tumor suppressor inhibiting cancer invasion and migration through modulating the AKT signaling.

RAB31 Targeted by MiR-30c-2-3p Regulates the GLI1 Signaling Pathway, Affecting Gastric Cancer Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis. Front Oncol 2018; 8:554. [PMID: 30534536 PMCID: PMC6275292 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2018.00554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2018] [Accepted: 11/08/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Gastric cancer (GC), one of the most common cancers worldwide, is highly malignant and fatal. Ras-related protein in brain 31 (RAB31), a member of the RAB family of oncogenes, participates in the process of carcinogenesis and cancer development; however, its role in GC progression is unknown. Methods: In our study, 90 pairs of tissue microarrays were used to measure the levels of RAB31 protein by immunochemistry, and 22 pairs of fresh tissue were used to measure the levels of RAB31 mRNA by quantitative PCR. We also investigated the effects of RAB31 on tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. Results: RAB31 was overexpressed in GC tissues, and its overexpression predicted poor survival in patients. In a nude mouse model, depletion of RAB31 inhibited tumor growth. In vitro, silencing of RAB31 suppressed cell viability, promoted cell cycle arrest, enhanced apoptosis, and affected the expression of cell cycle and apoptotic proteins; these effects were mediated by glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (GLI1). Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence assays confirmed that RAB31 interacted with GLI1. In addition, luciferase reporter assays and Western blotting showed that microRNA-30c-2-3p modulated the RAB31/GLI1 pathway by targeting the 3′-untranslated region of RAB31. Conclusions: Collectively, these data show that RAB31 is regulated by microRNA-30c-2-3p, and functions as an oncogene in GC tumorigenesis and development by interacting with GLI1. Therefore, targeting the miR-30c-2-3p/RAB31/GLI1 axis may be a therapeutic intervention for gastric cancer.

Abstract
The study of cancer has allowed researchers to describe some biological characteristics that tumor cells acquire during their development, known as the “hallmarks of cancer” but more research is needed to expand our knowledge about cancer biology and to generate new strategies of treatment. The role that RabGTPases might play in some hallmarks of cancer represents interesting areas of study since these proteins are frequently altered in cancer. However, their participation is not well known. Recently, Rab35was recognized as an oncogenic RabGTPase and and because of its association with different cellular functions, distinctly important in immune cells, a possible role of Rab35 in leukemia can be suggested. Nevertheless, the involvement of Rab35 in cancer remains poorly understood and its possible specific role in leukemia remains unknown. In this review, we analyze general aspects of the participation of RabGTPases in cancer, and especially, the plausible role of Rab35 in leukemia.
