Abstract
Pulmonary endothelial barrier dysfunction is a hallmark of clinical pulmonary edema and contributes to the development of acute lung injury (ALI). Here we reported that ruscogenin (RUS), an effective steroidal sapogenin of Radix Ophiopogon japonicus, attenuated lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced pulmonary endothelial barrier disruption through mediating non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIA (NMMHC IIA)‒Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) interactions. By in vivo and in vitro experiments, we observed that RUS administration significantly ameliorated LPS-triggered pulmonary endothelial barrier dysfunction and ALI. Moreover, we identified that RUS directly targeted NMMHC IIA on its N-terminal and head domain by serial affinity chromatography, molecular docking, biolayer interferometry, and microscale thermophoresis analyses. Downregulation of endothelial NMMHC IIA expression in vivo and in vitro abolished the protective effect of RUS. It was also observed that NMMHC IIA was dissociated from TLR4 and then activating TLR4 downstream Src/vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) signaling in pulmonary vascular endothelial cells after LPS treatment, which could be restored by RUS. Collectively, these findings provide pharmacological evidence showing that RUS attenuates LPS-induced pulmonary endothelial barrier dysfunction by inhibiting TLR4/Src/VE-cadherin pathway through targeting NMMHC IIA and mediating NMMHC IIA‒TLR4 interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND GATA1 is an essential transcription factor for both polyploidization and megakaryocyte (MK) differentiation. The polyploidization defect observed in GATA1 variant carriers is not well understood. OBJECTIVE To extensively phenotype two pedigrees displaying different variants in the GATA1 gene and determine if GATA1 controls MYH10 expression levels, a key modulator of MK polyploidization. METHOD A total of 146 unrelated propositi with constitutional thrombocytopenia were screened on a multigene panel. We described the genotype-phenotype correlation in GATA1 variant carriers and investigated the effect of these novel variants on MYH10 transcription using luciferase constructs. RESULTS The clinical profile associated with the p.L268M variant localized in the C terminal zinc finger was unusual in that the patient displayed bleeding and severe platelet aggregation defects without early-onset thrombocytopenia. p.N206I localized in the N terminal zinc finger was associated, on the other hand, with severe thrombocytopenia (15G/L) in early life. High MYH10 levels were evidenced in platelets of GATA1 variant carriers. Analysis of MKs anti-GATA1 chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing data revealed two GATA1 binding sites, located in the 3' untranslated region and in intron 8 of the MYH10 gene. Luciferase reporter assays showed their respective role in the regulation of MYH10 gene expression. Both GATA1 variants significantly alter intron 8 driven MYH10 transcription. CONCLUSION The discovery of an association between MYH10 and GATA1 is a novel one. Overall, this study suggests that impaired MYH10 silencing via an intronic regulatory element is the most likely cause of GATA1-related polyploidization defect.

Abstract
Various forms of cell motility critically depend on pushing, pulling, and resistance forces generated by the actin cytoskeleton. Whereas pushing forces largely depend on actin polymerization, pulling forces responsible for cell contractility and resistance forces maintaining the cell shape require interaction of actin filaments with the multivalent molecular motor myosin II. In contrast to muscle-specific myosin II paralogs, nonmuscle myosin II (NMII) functions in virtually all mammalian cells, where it executes numerous mechanical tasks. NMII is expressed in mammalian cells as a tissue-specific combination of three paralogs, NMIIA, NMIIB, and NMIIC. Despite overall similarity, these paralogs differ in their molecular properties, which allow them to play both unique and common roles. Importantly, the three paralogs can also cooperate with each other by mixing and matching their unique capabilities. Through specialization and cooperation, NMII paralogs together execute a great variety of tasks in many different cell types. Here, we focus on mammalian NMII paralogs and review novel aspects of their kinetics, regulation, and functions in cells from the perspective of how distinct features of the three myosin II paralogs adapt them to perform specialized and joint tasks in the cells.

Abstract
Nonmuscle myosin II (NMII) plays an important role in cytokinesis by constricting a contractile ring. However, it is poorly understood how NMII isoforms contribute to cytokinesis in mammalian cells. Here, we investigated the roles of the two major NMII isoforms, NMIIA and NMIIB, in cytokinesis using a WI-38 VA13 cell line (human immortalized fibroblast). In this cell line, NMIIB tended to localize to the contractile ring more than NMIIA. The expression level of NMIIA affected the localization of NMIIB. Most NMIIB accumulated at the cleavage furrow in NMIIA-knockout (KO) cells, and most NMIIA was displaced from this location in exogenous NMIIB-expressing cells, indicating that NMIIB preferentially localizes to the contractile ring. Specific KO of each isoform elicited opposite effects. The rate of furrow ingression was decreased and increased in NMIIA-KO and NMIIB-KO cells, respectively. Meanwhile, the length of NMII-filament stacks in the contractile ring was increased and decreased in NMIIA-KO and NMIIB-KO cells, respectively. Moreover, NMIIA helped to maintain cortical stiffness during cytokinesis. These findings suggest that appropriate ratio of NMIIA and NMIIB in the contractile ring is important for proper cytokinesis in specific cell types. In addition, two-photon excitation spinning-disk confocal microscopy enabled us to image constriction of the contractile ring in live cells in a three-dimensional manner.

Abstract
Nonmuscle myosin II is an actin-based motor that executes numerous mechanical tasks in cells including spatiotemporal organization of the actin cytoskeleton, adhesion, migration, cytokinesis, tissue remodeling, and membrane trafficking. Nonmuscle myosin II is ubiquitously expressed in mammalian cells as a tissue-specific combination of three paralogs. Recent studies reveal novel specific aspects of their kinetics, intracellular regulation and functions. On the other hand, the three paralogs also can copolymerize and cooperate in cells. Here we review the recent advances from the prospective of how distinct features of the three myosin II paralogs adapt them to perform specialized and joint tasks in the cell.

Abstract
Megakaryocyte polyploidy is characterized by cytokinesis failure resulting from defects in contractile forces at the cleavage furrow. Although immature megakaryocytes express 2 nonmuscle myosin II isoforms (MYH9 [NMIIA] and MYH10 [NMIIB]), only NMIIB localizes at the cleavage furrow, and its subsequent absence contributes to polyploidy. In this study, we tried to understand why the abundant NMIIA does not localize at the furrow by focusing on the RhoA/ROCK pathway that has a low activity in polyploid megakaryocytes. We observed that under low RhoA activity, NMII isoforms presented different activity that determined their localization. Inhibition of RhoA/ROCK signaling abolished the localization of NMIIB, whereas constitutively active RhoA induced NMIIA at the cleavage furrow. Thus, although high RhoA activity favored the localization of both the isoforms, only NMIIB could localize at the furrow at low RhoA activity. This was further confirmed in erythroblasts that have a higher basal RhoA activity than megakaryocytes and express both NMIIA and NMIIB at the cleavage furrow. Decreased RhoA activity in erythroblasts abolished localization of NMIIA but not of NMIIB from the furrow. This differential localization was related to differences in actin turnover. Megakaryocytes had a higher actin turnover compared with erythroblasts. Strikingly, inhibition of actin polymerization was found to be sufficient to recapitulate the effects of inhibition of RhoA/ROCK pathway on NMII isoform localization; thus, cytokinesis failure in megakaryocytes is the consequence of both the absence of NMIIB and a low RhoA activity that impairs NMIIA localization at the cleavage furrow through increased actin turnover.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At the end of maturation, megakaryocytes (MKs) form long cytoplasmic extensions called proplatelets (PPT). Enormous changes in cytoskeletal structures cause PPT to extend further, to re-localize organelles such as mitochondria and to fragment, leading to platelet release. Two non-muscle myosin IIs (NMIIs) are expressed in MKs; however, only NMII-A (MYH9), but not NMII-B (MYH10), is expressed in mature MKs and is implicated in PPT formation. OBJECTIVES To provide in vivo evidence on the specific role of NMII-A and IIB in MK PPT formation. METHODS We studied two transgenic mouse models in which non-muscle myosin heavy chain (NMHC) II-A was genetically replaced either by II-B or by a chimeric NMHCII that combined the head domain of II-A with the rod and tail domains of II-B. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS This work demonstrates that the kinetic properties of NM-IIA, depending on the N-terminal domain, render NMII-A the better NMII candidate to control PPT formation. Furthermore, the carboxyl-terminal domain determines myosin II localization in the constriction region of PPT and is responsible for the specific role of NMII in platelet release.
