[PMID: 38850351 DOI: 10.1007/s12035-024-04278-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
Microglia are the most important immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), which can defend against external pathogens and stimuli. Dysregulation of microglia releases excessive proinflammatory cytokines and leads to neuroinflammation, which is fundamental to the pathophysiology of multiple neurological diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of proinflammatory cytokines in microglia are still not well-understood. Here, we identified that inhibitor of DNA binding protein 2 (Id2) was a negative regulator of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) in cultured microglia. Knockdown of Id2 significantly increased the expression of TNFα in microglia, while overexpression of Id2 inhibited TNFα expression. Furthermore, by interacting with the p65 subunit of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), Id2 suppressed the transcription activation of NF-κB and inhibited TNFα expression. Interestingly, in lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-treated microglia, Id2 increased and underwent a cytoplasmic relocation. Immunoprecipitation and immunostaining results showed that by binding to the LIM domain of Id2, a scaffold protein PDZ and LIM 5 (PDLIM5) involved in the Id2 cytoplasmic relocation, which inactivated Id2 and resulted in higher TNFα expression in LPS-treated microglia. Collectively, our data delineate a novel effect of Id2 on TNFα regulation in microglia, which may shed a light on the proinflammatory cytokines regulating in microglia associated neuroimmune disorders.

Abstract
Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional protein that plays a pivotal role in the immune system. It is involved in various biological processes, including cell adhesion, migration and survival. The study of the immunomodulatory effects of OPN is of paramount importance due to its potential therapeutic applications. A comprehensive understanding of how OPN regulates the immune response could pave the way for the development of novel treatments for a multitude of diseases, including autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases and cancer. Therefore, in the following paper, we provide a systematic overview of OPN and its immunoregulatory roles in various diseases, laying the foundation for the development of OPN-based therapies in the future.

Abstract
Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional protein secreted intracellularly and extracellularly by various cell types, including NK cells, macrophages, osteoblasts, T cells, and cancer cells. Owing to its diverse distribution, OPN plays a role in cell proliferation, stem-cell-like properties, epithelial-mesenchymal transformation, glycolysis, angiogenesis, fibrosis, invasion, and metastasis. In this review, we discuss recent findings, interpret representative studies on OPN expression in cancer, clarify that elevated OPN levels are observed in multiple cancer types (including colorectal, breast, lung, and liver cancer), and explore how OPN-macrophage interactions shape the tumor microenvironment. We also summarize progress in OPN research with regard to tumor therapy, which can facilitate the development of novel anti-tumor treatment strategies.
