Abstract
The Golgi compartment performs a number of crucial roles in the cell. However, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying these actions are not fully defined. Pathogenic mutations in genes encoding Golgi proteins may serve as an important source for expanding our knowledge. For instance, mutations in the gene encoding Transmembrane protein 165 (TMEM165) were discovered as a cause of a new type of congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG). Comprehensive studies of TMEM165 in different model systems, including mammals, yeast, and fish uncovered the new realm of Mn2+ homeostasis regulation. TMEM165 was shown to act as a Ca2+/Mn2+:H+ antiporter in medial- and trans-Golgi network, pumping the metal ions into the Golgi lumen and protons outside. Disruption of TMEM165 antiporter activity results in defects in N- and O-glycosylation of proteins and glycosylation of lipids. An impaired glycosylation of TMEM165-CDG arises from lack of Mn2+ within the Golgi. Nevertheless, Mn2+ insufficiency in the Golgi is compensated by the activity of the ATPase SERCA2. TMEM165 turnover has also been found to be regulated by Mn2+ cytosolic concentration. Besides causing CDG, recent investigations have demonstrated the functional involvement of TMEM165 in several other pathologies including cancer and mental health disorders. This systematic review summarizes the available information on TMEM165 molecular structure, cellular function, and its roles in health and disease.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms, ~24 h cycles of physiological and behavioral processes, can be synchronized by external signals (e.g., light) and persist even in their absence. Consequently, dysregulation of circadian rhythms adversely affects the well-being of the organism. This timekeeping system is generated and sustained by a genetically encoded endogenous mechanism composed of interlocking transcriptional/translational feedback loops that generate rhythmic expression of core clock genes. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and forward genetic studies show that SNPs in clock genes influence gene regulation and correlate with the risk of developing various conditions. We discuss genetic variations in core clock genes that are associated with various phenotypes, their implications for human health, and stress the need for thorough studies in this domain of circadian regulation.

Abstract
Manganese and calcium homeostasis and signalling, in eukaryotic organisms, are regulated through membrane located pumps, channels and exchangers, including the Mn2+/Ca2+ uncharacterized protein family 0016 (UPF0016). Here we show that Plasmodiophora brassicae PbGDT1 is a member of the UPF0016 and an ortholog of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Gdt1p (GCR Dependent Translation Factor 1) protein involved in manganese homeostasis as well as the calcium mediated stress response in yeast. PbGDT1 complemented the ScGdt1p and ScPMR1 (Ca2+ ATPase) double null mutant under elevated calcium stress but not under elevated manganese conditions. In both yeast and Nicotiana benthamiana, PbGDT1 localizes to the Golgi apparatus, with additional ER association in N. benthamiana. Expression of PbGDT1 in N. benthamiana, suppresses BAX-triggered cell death, further highlighting the importance of calcium homeostasis in maintaining cell physiology and integrity in a stress environment.

Identification of key molecules in the formation of portal vein tumor thrombus in hepatocellular carcinoma based on single cell transcriptomics and in vitro experiments. Transl Cancer Res 2024; 13:1737-1761. [PMID: 38737676 PMCID: PMC11082669 DOI: 10.21037/tcr-23-1589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
Background The presence of portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is a significant indicator of advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Unfortunately, the prediction of PVTT occurrence remains challenging, and there is a lack of comprehensive research exploring the underlying mechanisms of PVTT formation and its association with immune infiltration. Methods Our approach involved analyzing single-cell sequencing data, applying high dimensional weighted gene co-expression network analysis (hdWGCNA), and identifying key genes associated with PVTT development. Furthermore, we constructed competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks and employed weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), as well as three machine-learning techniques, to identify the upstream regulatory microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) of the crucial mRNAs. We employed fuzzy clustering of time series gene expression data (Mfuzz), gene set variation analysis (GSVA), and cell communication analysis to uncover significant signaling pathways involved in the activation of these important mRNAs during PVTT development. In addition, we conducted immune infiltration analysis, survival typing, and drug sensitivity analysis using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort to gain insights into the two patient groups under study. Results Through the implementation of hdWGCNA, we identified 110 genes that was closely associated with PVTT. Among these genes, TMEM165 emerged as a crucial candidate, and we further investigated its significance using COX regression analysis. Furthermore, through machine learning techniques and survival analysis, we successfully identified the upstream regulatory miRNA (hsa-miR-148a) and lncRNA (LINC00909) that targeted TMEM165. These findings shed light on the complex regulatory network surrounding TMEM165 in the context of PVTT. Moreover, we conducted CIBERSORT analysis, which unveiled correlations between TMEM165 and immune infiltration in HCC patients. Specifically, TMEM165 exhibited associations with various immune cell populations, including memory B cells and CD8+ T cells. Additionally, we observed implications for immune function, particularly in relation to immune checkpoints, within the context of HCC. Conclusions The regulatory axis involving TMEM165, hsa-miR-148a, and LINC00909 emerges as a crucial determinant in the development of PVTT in HCC patients, and it holds significant implications for prognosis. Furthermore, alterations in the TMEM165/hsa-miR-148a/LINC00909 regulatory axis exhibit a strong correlation with immune infiltration within the HCC tumor microenvironment, leading to immune dysfunction and potential failure of immunotherapy.

Abstract
Lysosomal calcium (Ca2+) release is critical to cell signaling and is mediated by well-known lysosomal Ca2+ channels. Yet, how lysosomes refill their Ca2+ remains hitherto undescribed. Here, from an RNA interference screen in Caenorhabditis elegans, we identify an evolutionarily conserved gene, lci-1, that facilitates lysosomal Ca2+ entry in C. elegans and mammalian cells. We found that its human homolog TMEM165, previously designated as a Ca2+/H+ exchanger, imports Ca2+ pH dependently into lysosomes. Using two-ion mapping and electrophysiology, we show that TMEM165, hereafter referred to as human LCI, acts as a proton-activated, lysosomal Ca2+ importer. Defects in lysosomal Ca2+ channels cause several neurodegenerative diseases, and knowledge of lysosomal Ca2+ importers may provide previously unidentified avenues to explore the physiology of Ca2+ channels.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the leading causes of death in women, globally. A variety of biological processes results in metastasis, a poorly understood pathological phenomenon, causing a high relapse rate. Glycosylation, microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), have been shown to regulate this cascade where tumor cells detach from their primary site, enter the circulatory system and colonize distant sites. Integrated proteomics and glycomics approaches have been developed to probe the molecular mechanism regulating such metastasis. In this review, we describe specific aspects of glycosylation and its interrelation with miRNAs, EMT and multidrug resistance during BC progression and metastasis. We explore various approaches that determine the role of proteomes and glycosylation in BC diagnosis, therapy and drug discovery.

Abstract
IntroductionThe Golgi apparatus (GA) is the center of protein and lipid synthesis and modification in normal cells and is involved in regulating various cellular process as a signaling hub, the dysfunction of which can lead to the development of various pathological conditions, including tumors. Mutations in Golgi apparatus-related genes (GARGs) are prevalent in most tumors, and their mutations can make them pro-tumor metastatic. The aim of this study was to analyze the predictive role of GARGs in the prognosis and immunotherapeutic outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma.MethodsWe used TCGA, GEO and ICGC databases to classify hepatocellular carcinoma samples into two molecular subtypes based on the expression of GARGs. Signature construction was then performed using GARGs, and signature genes were selected for expression validation and tumor phenotype experiments to determine the role of GARGs in the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.ResultsUsing the TCGA, GEO and ICGC databases, two major subtypes of molecular heterogeneity among hepatocellular carcinoma tumors were identified based on the expression of GARGs, C1 as a high-risk subtype (low survival) and C2 as a low-risk subtype (high survival). The high-risk subtype had lower StromalScore, ImmuneScore, ESTIMATEScore and higher TumorPurity, indicating poorer treatment outcome for ICI. Meanwhile, we constructed a new risk assessment profile for hepatocellular carcinoma based on GARGs, and we found that the high-risk group had a worse prognosis, a higher risk of immune escape, and a higher TP53 mutation rate. Meanwhile, TME analysis showed higher tumor purity TumorPurity and lower ESTIMATEScore, ImmuneScore and StromalScore in the high-risk group. We also found that the high-risk group responded more strongly to a variety of anticancer drugs, which is useful for guiding clinical drug use. Meanwhile, the expression of BSG was experimentally found to be associated with poor prognosis of HCC. After interfering with the expression of BSG in HCC cells SMMC-7721, the proliferation and migration ability of HCC cells were significantly restricted.DiscussionThe signature we constructed using GARGs can well predict the prognosis and immunotherapy effect of hepatocellular carcinoma, providing new ideas and strategies for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

SLC35A2 Deficiency Promotes an Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition-like Phenotype in Madin–Darby Canine Kidney Cells. Cells 2022; 11:cells11152273.

Abstract
In mammalian cells, SLC35A2 delivers UDP–galactose for galactosylation reactions that take place predominantly in the Golgi lumen. Mutations in the corresponding gene cause a subtype of a congenital disorder of glycosylation (SLC35A2-CDG). Although more and more patients are diagnosed with SLC35A2-CDG, the link between defective galactosylation and disease symptoms is not fully understood. According to a number of reports, impaired glycosylation may trigger the process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We therefore examined whether the loss of SLC35A2 activity would promote EMT in a non-malignant epithelial cell line. For this purpose, we knocked out the SLC35A2 gene in Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The resulting clones adopted an elongated, spindle-shaped morphology and showed impaired cell–cell adhesion. Using qPCR and western blotting, we revealed down-regulation of E-cadherin in the knockouts, while the fibronectin and vimentin levels were elevated. Moreover, the knockout cells displayed reorganization of vimentin intermediate filaments and altered subcellular distribution of a vimentin-binding protein, formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase (FTCD). Furthermore, depletion of SLC35A2 triggered Golgi compaction. Finally, the SLC35A2 knockouts displayed increased motility and invasiveness. In conclusion, SLC35A2-deficient MDCK cells showed several hallmarks of EMT. Our findings point to a novel role for SLC35A2 as a gatekeeper of the epithelial phenotype.

Abstract
Calcium and manganese transporters play important roles in regulating Ca2+ and Mn2+ homeostasis in cells, which is necessary for the normal physiological activities of eukaryotes. Gdt1 and Pmr1 function as calcium/manganese transporters in the Golgi apparatus. However, the functions of Gdt1 and Pmr1 have not been previously characterized in the plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum. Here, we identified and characterized the biological functions of FgGdt1 and FgPmr1 in F. graminearum. Our study shows that FgGdt1 and FgPmr1 are both localized to the cis- and medial-Golgi. Disruption of FgGdt1 or FgPmr1 in F. graminearum caused serious defects in vegetative growth, conidiation, sexual development and significantly decreased virulence in wheat but increased deoxynivalenol (DON) production. Importantly, FgGdt1 is involved in Ca2+ and Mn2+ homeostasis and the severe phenotypic defects of the ΔFggdt1 mutant were largely due to loss of FgGdt1 function in Mn2+ transportation. FgGdt1-mCherry colocalizes with FgPmr1-GFP at the Golgi, and FgGDT1 exerts its biological function upstream of FgPMR1. Taken together, our results collectively demonstrate that the cis- and medial-Golgi-localized proteins FgGdt1 and FgPmr1 regulate Ca2+ and Mn2+ homeostasis of the Golgi apparatus, and this function is important in modulating the growth, development, DON biosynthesis and pathogenicity of F. graminearum.

Abstract
Metal ion homeostasis is fundamental for life. Specifically, transition metals iron, manganese and zinc play a pivotal role in mitochondrial metabolism and energy generation, anti-oxidation defense, transcriptional regulation and the immune response. The misregulation of expression or mutations in ion carriers and the corresponding changes in Mn2+ and Zn2+ levels suggest that these ions play a pivotal role in cancer progression. Moreover, coordinated changes in Mn2+ and Zn2+ ion carriers have been detected, suggesting that particular mechanisms influenced by both ions might be required for the growth of cancer cells, metastasis and immune evasion. Here, we present a review of zinc and manganese pathophysiology suggesting that these ions might cooperatively regulate cancerogenesis. Zn and Mn effects converge on mitochondria-induced apoptosis, transcriptional regulation and the cGAS-STING signaling pathway, mediating the immune response. Both Zn and Mn influence cancer progression and impact treatment efficacy in animal models and clinical trials. We predict that novel strategies targeting the regulation of both Zn and Mn in cancer will complement current therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Growing evidence connects many of the Golgi known functions with cellular events related to cancer initiation and progression, including regulation of cell survival/death, proliferation, motility, metabolism and immune evasion. However, a broad and integrated understanding of the impact of the Golgi on cancer cell phenotype has not yet been achieved. Multiple cellular events involving the Golgi are associated with protein and lipid modification and trafficking. However, less explored aspects of this enigmatic organelle also contribute to cell fate decision-making by impacting signal transduction, redox and ion homeostasis. This article focuses on the molecular mechanisms and Golgi proteins underlying the impact of the Golgi on cancer cell phenotype. Special emphasis is given to emerging knowledge on redox and ion homeostasis. Current and potential cancer progression therapeutic strategies associated with this organelle will also be addressed.

Abstract
Objective The study aimed to compare the Steroid 5 alpha-reductase 3 (SRD5A3) expression levels in breast cancer (BC) and normal tissues, to investigate the prognostic value of SRD5A3 mRNA expression in BC patients and to identify the SRD5A3-related signaling pathways using bioinformatics approaches. Methods We evaluated the expression levels of SRD5A3 and survival data in BC patients using different bioinformatic databases. Further, Cox regression analysis was conducted to predict the independent prognostic factors for BC. Moreover, the association of SRD5A3 with clinicopathological factors was measured through LinkedOmics database. And the potential role of SRD5A3 was determined by Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Finally, protein network of SRD5A3 was constructed and genetic alterations were analyzed. Results Bioinformatic data indicated that both mRNA and protein expression levels of SRD5A3 were higher in BC group than those in the normal group (P < 0.05). Besides, BC patients with higher SRD5A3 mRNA expression levels had a lower overall survival (all P < 0.05). Cox regression analysis further demonstrated the independent prognostic value of SRD5A3 in BC (P = 0.015). SRD5A3 mRNA expression was significantly associated with N stage (P < 0.001), age (P < 0.05), and histologic subtype (P < 0.001) but had no significant relationship with other clinical characteristics (all P > 0.05). Moreover, the functional enrichment analysis revealed that the SRD5A3 was involved in metabolism-related pathways (all P < 0.05). Conclusions SRD5A3 was highly expressed in BC tissues and high SRD5A3 expression was related to poorer prognosis. SRD5A3 serves as an oncogene and might function as a potential biomarker for prognosis and a therapeutic target for BC.

Abstract
Cancer cells exhibit increased glycolytic flux and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis. These processes increase the acidic burden on the cells through the production of lactate and protons. Nonetheless, cancer cells can maintain an alkaline intracellular pH (pHi) relative to untransformed cells, which sets the stage for optimal functioning of glycolytic enzymes, evasion of cell death, and increased proliferation and motility. Upregulation of plasma membrane transporters allows for H+ and lactate efflux; however, recent evidence suggests that the acidification of organelles can contribute to maintenance of an alkaline cytosol in cancer cells by siphoning off protons, thereby supporting tumor growth. The Golgi is such an acidic organelle, with resting pH ranging from 6.0 to 6.7. Here, we posit that the Golgi represents a "proton sink" in cancer and delineate the proton channels involved in Golgi acidification and the ion channels that influence this process. Furthermore, we discuss ion channel regulators that can affect Golgi pH and Golgi-dependent processes that may contribute to pHi homeostasis in cancer.
