Abstract
PURPOSE Incisional hernia is a common postoperative complication; however, few transcriptomic studies have been conducted on it. In this study, we used second-generation high-throughput sequencing to explore the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of incisional hernias. METHODS Superficial fasciae were collected from 15 patients without hernia and 21 patients with an incisional hernia. High-throughput sequencing of the fascia was performed to generate an expression matrix. We analyzed the matrix to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and performed gene ontology and enrichment analyses of these DEGs. Additionally, an external dataset was utilized to identify key DEGs. RESULTS We identified 1,823 DEGs closely associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) imbalance, bacterial inflammatory response, and fibrillar collagen trimerization. TNNT3, CMAY5, ATP1B4, ASB5, CILP, SIX4, FBN1 and FNDC5 were identified as key DEGs at the intersection of the two expression matrices. Moreover, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-related, TNF, and IL-17 signaling pathways were identified as key enrichment pathways. CONCLUSIONS We identified eight key DEGs and three pathways associated with incisional hernias. Our findings offer new insights into the pathogenesis of incisional hernias and highlight potential targets for their prevention and treatment.

Eutherian-Specific Functions of BetaM Acquired through Atp1b4 Gene Co-Option in the Regulation of MyoD Expression. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:414. [PMID: 36836771 PMCID: PMC9962273 DOI: 10.3390/life13020414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Vertebrate ATP1B4 genes represent a rare instance of orthologous gene co-option, resulting in radically different functions of the encoded BetaM proteins. In lower vertebrates, BetaM is a Na, K-ATPase β-subunit that is a component of ion pumps in the plasma membrane. In placental mammals, BetaM lost its ancestral role and, through structural alterations of the N-terminal domain, became a skeletal and cardiac muscle-specific protein of the inner nuclear membrane, highly expressed during late fetal and early postnatal development. We previously determined that BetaM directly interacts with the transcriptional co-regulator SKI-interacting protein (SKIP) and is implicated in the regulation of gene expression. This prompted us to investigate a potential role for BetaM in the regulation of muscle-specific gene expression in neonatal skeletal muscle and cultured C2C12 myoblasts. We found that BetaM can stimulate expression of the muscle regulatory factor (MRF), MyoD, independently of SKIP. BetaM binds to the distal regulatory region (DRR) of MyoD, promotes epigenetic changes associated with activation of transcription, and recruits the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling subunit, BRG1. These results indicate that eutherian BetaM regulates muscle gene expression by promoting changes in chromatin structure. These evolutionarily acquired new functions of BetaM might be very essential and provide evolutionary advantages to placental mammals.

Hormonal regulation of Na +-K +-ATPase from the evolutionary perspective. CURRENT TOPICS IN MEMBRANES 2019; 83:315-351.

Abstract
Na+-K+-ATPase, an α/β heterodimer, is an ancient enzyme that maintains Na+ and K+ gradients, thus preserving cellular ion homeostasis. In multicellular organisms, this basic housekeeping function is integrated to fulfill the needs of specialized organs and preserve whole-body homeostasis. In vertebrates, Na+-K+-ATPase is essential for many fundamental physiological processes, such as nerve conduction, muscle contraction, nutrient absorption, and urine excretion. During vertebrate evolution, three key developments contributed to diversification and integration of Na+-K+-ATPase functions. Generation of novel α- and β-subunits led to formation of multiple Na+-K+-ATPase isoenyzmes with distinct functional characteristics. Development of a complex endocrine system enabled efficient coordination of diverse Na+-K+-ATPase functions. Emergence of FXYDs, small transmembrane proteins that regulate Na+-K+-ATPase, opened new ways to modulate its function. FXYDs are a vertebrate innovation and an important site of hormonal action, suggesting they played an especially prominent role in evolving interaction between Na+-K+-ATPase and the endocrine system in vertebrates.

Abstract
ATP1B4 genes represent a rare instance of orthologous vertebrate gene co-option that radically changed properties of the encoded BetaM proteins, which function as Na,K-ATPase subunits in lower vertebrates and birds. Eutherian BetaM has lost its ancestral function and became a muscle-specific resident of the inner nuclear membrane. Our earlier work implicated BetaM in regulation of gene expression through direct interaction with the transcriptional co-regulator SKIP. To gain insight into evolution of BetaM interactome we performed expanded screening of eutherian and avian cDNA libraries using yeast-two-hybrid and split-ubiquitin systems. The inventory of identified BetaM interactors includes lamina-associated protein LAP-1, myocyte nuclear envelope protein Syne1, BetaM itself, heme oxidases HMOX1 and HMOX2; transcription factor LZIP/CREB3, ERGIC3, PHF3, reticulocalbin-3, and β-sarcoglycan. No new interactions were found for chicken BetaM and human Na,K-ATPase β1, β2 and β3 isoforms, indicating the uniqueness of eutherian BetaM interactome. Analysis of truncated forms of BetaM indicates that residues 72-98 adjacent to the membrane in nucleoplasmic domain are important for the interaction with SKIP. These findings demonstrate that evolutionary alterations in structural and functional properties of eutherian BetaM proteins are associated with the increase in its interactome complexity.

Abstract
Human 'laminopathy' diseases result from mutations in genes encoding nuclear lamins or nuclear envelope (NE) transmembrane proteins (NETs). These diseases present a seeming paradox: the mutated proteins are widely expressed yet pathology is limited to specific tissues. New findings suggest tissue-specific pathologies arise because these widely expressed proteins act in various complexes that include tissue-specific components. Diverse mechanisms to achieve NE tissue-specificity include tissue-specific regulation of the expression, mRNA splicing, signaling, NE-localization and interactions of potentially hundreds of tissue-specific NETs. New findings suggest these NETs underlie tissue-specific NE roles in cytoskeletal mechanics, cell-cycle regulation, signaling, gene expression and genome organization. This view of the NE as 'specialized' in each cell type is important to understand the tissue-specific pathology of NE-linked diseases.

Abstract
Neonatal and adult cardiomyocytes were isolated from rat hearts. Some of the adult myocytes were cultured to allow for cell dedifferentiation, a phenomenon thought to mimic cell changes that occur in stressed myocardium, with myocytes regressing to a fetal pattern of metabolism and stellate neonatal shape. Using fluorescence deconvolution microscopy, cells were probed with fluorescent markers and scanned for a number of proteins associated with ion control, calcium movements and cardiac function. Image analysis of deconvoluted image stacks and sequential real-time image recordings of calcium transients of cells were made. All three myocyte groups were predominantly comprised of binucleate cells. Clustering of proteins to a single nucleus was a common observation, suggesting that one nucleus is active in protein synthesis pathways, while the other nucleus assumes a ‘dormant’ or different role and that cardiomyocytes might be mitotically active even in late development, or specific protein syntheses could be targeted and regulated for reintroduction into the cell cycle. Such possibilities would extend cardiac disease associated stem cell research and therapy options, while producing valuable insights into developmental and death pathways of binucleate cardiomyocytes (word count 183).

Abstract
Change in gene functions (gene cooption) is one of the key mechanisms of molecular evolution. Genes can acquire new functions via alteration in properties of encoded proteins and/or via changes in temporal or spatial regulation of expression. Here we demonstrate radical changes in the functions of orthologous ATP1B4 genes during evolution of vertebrates. Expression of ATP1B4 genes is brain-specific in teleost fishes, whereas it is predominantly muscle-specific in tetrapods. The encoded beta m-proteins in fish, amphibian, and avian species are beta-subunits of Na,K-ATPase located in the plasma membrane. In placental mammals beta m-proteins lost their ancestral functions, accumulate in nuclear membrane of perinatal myocytes, and associate with transcriptional coregulator Ski-interacting protein (SKIP). Through interaction with SKIP, eutherian beta m acquired new functions as exemplified by regulation of TGF-beta-responsive reporters and by augmentation of mRNA levels of Smad7, an inhibitor of TGF-beta signaling. Thus, orthologous vertebrate ATP1B4 genes represent an instance of gene cooption that created fundamental changes in the functional properties of the encoded proteins.

Abstract
Mechanisms involved in skeletal myofiber differentiation during fetal development of large animals are poorly understood. Studies in small animals suggest that the calcineurin (Cn) pathway is involved in myofiber differentiation. Neural activity is a prerequisite for Cn activity, implying maintenance of sustained low intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations. To study the role of Cn in fetal myofiber differentiation, we monitored the temporal and spatial distribution of Cn subunits, sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA), phospholamban (PLB), and myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms in relation to ingrowing nerves in porcine semitendinosus muscle (m. semitendinosus) at 55 and 75 days of gestation (dg) and at term. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed the presence of Cn subunits and SERCA isoforms at all analyzed stages. Cn distribution was not fiber-type specific, but expression became more prominent at term. At 75 dg, differential SERCA2 expression was accompanied by perinuclear PLB in primary fibers. SERCA1 was expressed in all fiber types at all stages. No specific MyHC isoform distribution was seen in relation to neuromuscular contacts, although neuromuscular contacts were present. From these results we speculate that in porcine m. semitendinosus differential SERCA2 expression precedes differential Cn expression. The question whether the Cn pathway is involved in prenatal myofiber differentiation needs further studies.

Abstract
A number of mammalian genomes have one gene copy encoding the protein that we named hampin. A search in a number of databases revealed a distant homologue, the well-known Drosophila protein MSL-1 (male-specific lethal 1). An alternative splicing of mRNA led to a significant diversity of structural hampin variants with different domain compositions. We analyzed the tissue-specific expression of five mouse hampin variants using RT-PCR. Two variants encoding hampin proteins with truncated N termini were shown to have a restricted tissue specificity: they are exclusively expressed in the testes. The mRNAs of other hampin variants were detected in all the tested tissues at comparable levels. We obtained polyclonal antibodies to the recombinant hampin and used them to demonstrate that at least one of the variants is predominantly localized in the nucleus. The specific features of the hampin primary structure and its possible functions as a member of the hampin/MSL-1 family of proteins are discussed.

Abstract
The Na,K-ATPase comprises a family of isozymes that catalyze the active transport of cytoplasmic Na+ for extracellular K+ at the plasma membrane of cells. Isozyme diversity for the Na,K-ATPase results from the association of different molecular forms of the alpha (alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, and alpha4) and beta (beta1, beta2, and beta3) subunits that constitute the enzyme. The various isozymes are characterized by unique enzymatic properties and a highly regulated pattern of expression that depends on cell type, developmental stage, and hormonal stimulation. The molecular complexity of the Na,K-ATPase goes beyond its alpha and beta isoforms and, in certain tissues, other accessory proteins associate with the enzyme. These small membrane-bound polypeptides, known as the FXYD proteins, modulate the kinetic characteristics of the Na,K-ATPase. The experimental evidence available suggests that the molecular and functional heterogeneity of the Na,K-ATPase is a physiologically relevant event that serves the specialized functions of cells. This article focuses on the functional properties, regulation, and the biological relevance of the Na,K-ATPase isozymes as a mechanism for the tissue-specific control of Na+ and K+ homeostasis.
