RILP inhibits proliferation, migration, and invasion of PC3 prostate cancer cells. Acta Histochem 2022; 124:151938. [PMID: 35981451 DOI: 10.1016/j.acthis.2022.151938] [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: 01/21/2021] [Revised: 06/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
RILP (Rab-interacting lysosomal protein) is a key regulator of lysosomal transport and a potential tumor suppressor. However, the role of RILP in prostate cancer and the underlying mechanism of RILP in regulating the proliferation, migration, and invasion of prostate cancer cells remain to be studied. In this study, we confirmed RalGDS (Ral guanine nucleotide dissociation stimulator) as the interaction partner of RILP in PC3 prostate cancer cells. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed that RILP recruits RalGDS to the lysosomal compartment. We found that RILP inhibits the activation of RalA and downstream effector RalBP1, and negatively regulates the downstream molecular phosphorylation of Ras. We showed that RILP inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of PC3 prostate cancer cells, which may give rise to novel ideas for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Spatial imaging of RNAs in single cells is extremely charming for deciphering of regulatory mechanisms in multiple migration modes during tumor metastasis. Herein, enzyme-free-mediated cascade amplified nanoprobes were designed for in situ single-molecule imaging of dual-microRNAs (miRNAs) in switchable migrating cells. Differential expression and localization of dual-miRNAs were clearly exhibited in multiple cell lines attributed to enhanced sensitivity via the cascade signal amplification strategy. Significantly, in situ three-dimensional (3D) imaging of dual-miRNAs in transition of cell migration phenotypes was successfully reconstructed in both non-confined and confined microenvironments in vitro, of which differential spatial distribution was observed in a single cell. This is very promising for exploring key roles of spatial RNA distribution in migrating cells at the single-molecule level, which will advance revealing the molecular mechanism and physical principle in 3D cell migration in vivo.

Abstract
Kirsten rat sarcoma virus oncogene (KRAS) mutation accounts for approximately 85% of RAS-driven cancers, and participates in multiple signaling pathways and mediates cell proliferation, differentiation and metabolism. KRAS has been considered as an "undruggable" target due to the lack of effective direct inhibitors, although high frequency of KRAS mutations have been identified in multiple carcinomas in the past decades. Encouragingly, the KRASG12C inhibitor AMG510 (sotorasib), which has been approved for treating NSCLC and CRC recently, makes directly targeting KRAS the most promising strategy for cancer therapy. To better understand the current state of KRAS inhibitors, this review summarizes the biological functions of KRAS, the structure-activity relationship studies of the small-molecule inhibitors that directly target KRAS, and highlights the therapeutic agents with improved selectivity, bioavailability and physicochemical properties. Furthermore, the combined medication that can enhance efficacy and overcome drug resistance of KRAS covalent inhibitors is also reviewed.

Abstract
p52SHC (SHC) and GRB2 are adaptor proteins involved in the RAS/MAPK (ERK) pathway mediating signals from cell-surface receptors to various cytoplasmic proteins. To further examine their roles in signal transduction, we studied the translocation of fluorescently labeled SHC and GRB2 to the cell surface, caused by the activation of ERBB receptors by heregulin (HRG). We simultaneously evaluated activated ERK translocation to the nucleus. Unexpectedly, the translocation dynamics of SHC were sustained when those of GRB2 were transient. The sustained localization of SHC positively correlated with the sustained nuclear localization of ERK, which became more transient after SHC knockdown. SHC-mediated PI3K activation was required to maintain the sustainability of the ERK translocation regulating MEK but not RAF. In cells overexpressing ERBB1, SHC translocation became transient, and the HRG-induced cell fate shifted from a differentiation to a proliferation bias. Our results indicate that SHC and GRB2 functions are not redundant but that SHC plays the critical role in the temporal regulation of ERK activation.

Abstract
Cellular signaling is regulated by the spatiotemporal dynamics and kinetics of molecular behavior. To investigate the mechanisms at the molecular level, fluorescence single-molecule analysis is an effective method owing to the direct observation of individual molecules in situ in cells and the results in quantitative information about the behavior. The integration of machine learning into this analysis modality enables the acquisition of behavioral features at all time points of all molecules. As a case study, we described a hidden Markov model-based approach to infer the molecular states of mobility and clustering for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) along a single-molecule trajectory. We reveal a scheme of the receptor signaling through the dynamic coupling of the mobility and clustering states under the influence of a local membrane structure. As the activation process progressed, EGFR generally converged to an immobile cluster. This state exhibited high affinity with a specific cytoplasmic protein, shown by two-color single-molecule analysis, and could be a platform for downstream signaling. The method was effective for elucidating the biophysical mechanisms of signaling regulation when comprehensive analysis is possible for a huge number and multiple molecular species in the signaling pathway. Thus, a fully automated system for single-molecule analysis, in which indispensable expertise was replicated using artificial intelligence, has been developed to enable in-cell large-scale analysis. This system opens new single-molecule approaches for pharmacological applications as well as the basic sciences.

Abstract
RTK-RAS-MAPK systems are major signaling pathways for cell fate decisions. Among the several RTK species, it is known that the transient activation of ERK (MAPK) stimulates cell proliferation, whereas its sustained activation induces cell differentiation. In both instances however, RAS activation is transient, suggesting that the strict temporal regulation of its activity is critical in normal cells. RAS on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane is activated by SOS through the recruitment of GRB2/SOS complex to the RTKs that are phosphorylated after stimulation with growth factors. The adaptor protein GRB2 recognizes phospho-RTKs both directly and indirectly via another adaptor protein, SHC. We here studied the regulation of GRB2 recruitment under the SHC pathway using single-molecule imaging and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy in living cells. We stimulated MCF7 cells with a differentiation factor, heregulin, and observed the translocation, complex formation, and phosphorylation of cell signaling molecules including GRB2 and SHC. Our results suggest a biphasic regulation of the GRB2/SOS-RAS pathway by SHC: At the early stage (<10 min) of stimulation, SHC increased the amplitude of RAS activity by increasing the association sites for the GRB2/SOS complex on the plasma membrane. At the later stage however, SHC suppressed RAS activation and sequestered GRB2 molecules from the membrane through the complex formation in the cytoplasm. The latter mechanism functions additively to other mechanisms of negative feedback regulation of RAS from MEK and/or ERK to complete the transient activation dynamics of RAS.

Abstract
Single-molecule imaging (SMI) is a powerful method to measure the dynamics of membrane proteins on the cell membrane. The single-molecule tracking (SMT) analysis provides information about the diffusion dynamics, the oligomer size distribution, and the particle density change. The affinity and on/off-rate of a protein-protein interaction can be estimated from the dual-color SMI analysis. However, it is difficult for trainees to determine quantitative information from the SMI movies. The present protocol guides the detailed workflows to measure the drug-activated dynamics of a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and metabotropic glutamate receptor 3 (mGluR3), by using the total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM). This tutorial guidance comprises an open-source software, named smDynamicsAnalyzer, with which one can easily analyze the SMT dataset by just following the workflows after building a designated folder structure ( https://github.com/masataka-yanagawa/IgorPro8-smDynamicsAnalyzer ).

Abstract
The genetic alterations in cancer cells are tightly linked to signaling pathway dysregulation. Ras is a key molecule that controls several tumorigenesis-related processes, and mutations in RAS genes often lead to unbiased intensification of signaling networks that fuel cancer progression. In this article, we review recent studies that describe mutant Ras-regulated signaling routes and their cross-talk. In addition to the two main Ras-driven signaling pathways, i.e., the RAF/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways, we have also collected emerging data showing the importance of Ras in other signaling pathways, including the RAC/PAK, RalGDS/Ral, and PKC/PLC signaling pathways. Moreover, microRNA-regulated Ras-associated signaling pathways are also discussed to highlight the importance of Ras regulation in cancer. Finally, emerging data show that the signal alterations in specific cell types, such as cancer stem cells, could promote cancer development. Therefore, we also cover the up-to-date findings related to Ras-regulated signal transduction in cancer stem cells.

Abstract
Abstract
Single-molecule imaging analysis has been applied to study the dynamics and kinetics of molecular behaviors and interactions in living cells. In spite of its high potential as a technique to investigate the molecular mechanisms of cellular phenomena, single-molecule imaging analysis has not been extended to a large scale of molecules in cells due to the low measurement throughput as well as required expertise. To overcome these problems, we have automated the imaging processes by using computer operations, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). AI is an ideal substitute for expertise to obtain high-quality images for quantitative analysis. Our automated in-cell single-molecule imaging system, AiSIS, could analyze 1600 cells in 1 day, which corresponds to ∼ 100-fold higher efficiency than manual analysis. The large-scale analysis revealed cell-to-cell heterogeneity in the molecular behavior, which had not been recognized in previous studies. An analysis of the receptor behavior and downstream signaling was accomplished within a significantly reduced time frame and revealed the detailed activation scheme of signal transduction, advancing cell biology research. Furthermore, by combining the high-throughput analysis with our previous finding that a receptor changes its behavioral dynamics depending on the presence of a ligand/agonist or inhibitor/antagonist, we show that AiSIS is applicable to comprehensive pharmacological analysis such as drug screening. This AI-aided automation has wide applications for single-molecule analysis.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor with a 5-year survival rate of less than 6%, and incidence increasing year by year globally. Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis and a high recurrence rate, almost the same as the death rate. However, the available effective prevention and treatment measures for pancreatic cancer are still limited. The genome variation is one of the main reasons for the development of pancreatic cancer. In recent years, with the development of gene sequencing technology, in-depth research on pancreatic cancer gene mutation presents that a growing number of genetic mutations are confirmed to be in a close relationship with invasion and metastasis of pancreatic cancer. Among them, KRAS mutation is a special one. Therefore, it is particularly important to understand the mechanism of the KRAS mutation in the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer, and to explore the method of its transformation into clinical tumor molecular targeted treatment sites, to further improve the therapeutic effect on pancreatic cancer. Therefore, to better design chemical drugs, this review based on the biological functions of KRAS, summarized the types of KRAS mutations and their relationship with pancreatic cancer and included the downstream signaling pathway Raf-MEK-ERK, PI3K-AKT, RalGDS-Ral of KRAS and the current medicinal treatment methods for KRAS mutations. Moreover, drug screening and clinical treatment for KRAS mutated cell and animal models of pancreatic cancer are also reviewed along with the prospect of targeted medicinal chemistry therapy for precision treatment of pancreatic cancer in the future.

Abstract
Single-molecule imaging (SMI) of proteins in operation has a history of intensive investigations over 20 years and is now widely used in various fields of biology and biotechnology. We review the recent advances in SMI of fluorescently-tagged proteins in structural biology, focusing on technical applicability of SMI to the measurements in living cells. Basic technologies and recent applications of SMI in structural biology are introduced. Distinct from other methods in structural biology, SMI directly observes single molecules and single-molecule events one-by-one, thus, explicitly analyzing the distribution of protein structures and the history of protein dynamics. It also allows one to detect single events of protein interaction. One unique feature of SMI is that it is applicable in complicated and heterogeneous environments, including living cells. The numbers, location, movements, interaction, oligomerization, and conformation of single-protein molecules have been determined using SMI in cellular systems.

Abstract
Noonan syndrome (NS) is a congenital hereditary disorder associated with developmental and cardiac defects. Some patients with NS carry mutations in SOS, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for the small GTPase RAS. NS mutations have been identified not only in the GEF domain, but also in various domains of SOS, suggesting that multiple mechanisms disrupt SOS function. In this study, we examined three NS mutations in different domains of SOS to clarify the abnormality in its translocation to the plasma membrane, where SOS activates RAS. The association and dissociation kinetics between SOS tagged with a fluorescent protein and the living cell surface were observed in single molecules. All three mutants showed increased affinity for the plasma membrane, inducing excessive RAS signalling. However, the mechanisms by which their affinity was increased were specific to each mutant. Conformational disorder in the resting state, increased probability of a conformational change on the plasma membrane, and an increased association rate constant with the membrane receptor are the suggested mechanisms. These different properties cause the specific phenotypes of the mutants, which should be rescuable with different therapeutic strategies. Therefore, single-molecule kinetic analyses of living cells are useful for the pathological analysis of genetic diseases.
