Semin Arthritis Rheum 2024; 68:152488. [PMID: 38896912 DOI: 10.1016/j.semarthrit.2024.152488] [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: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary Sjögren syndrome (pSjS) is one of the most prevalent systemic autoimmune diseases and characterized with hyperactivation of B cell and the abundant presence of autoantibodies in sera. The salivary gland epithelial cells (SGECs) release autoantigens to evoke autoimmunity through releasing elevated apoptosis or secreting autoantigen-containing exosomes, thus identifying autoantibodies directly to SGECs might provide insights into disease related biomarkers as well as further elucidating pathogenesis mechanisms. The present study was undertaken to identify autoantibodies to SGECs and to evaluate its clinical values in Chinese pSjS. METHODS Cell-based indirect immunofluorescence and immunostaining, two-dimensional electrophoresis and liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometry were conducted to identify the autoantibodies to human salivary gland cell line A253 in pSjS sera. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to identify autoantibody titer in pSjS cohort and healthy controls. The prevalence and clinical significance of the identified autoantibodies was further assessed in pSjS population. RESULTS Anti-calreticulin (CALR) antibody was identified as a new autoantibody directly to SGECs in sera from pSjS patients. Anti-CALR antibody were detected in 37 of 120 pSjS patients (30.83 %) and 1 of 54 healthy controls (1.85 %). It was found in 40.85 % pSjS with anti-SSA positive, 53.85 % with anti-SSB positive, and 14.7 % in sero-negative pSjS. Anti-CALR antibody was associated with clinical manifestations including weight loss(p = 0.045), vasculitis (p = 0.031), and laboratory parameters including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (r = 0.056, p = 0.021), Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) (r = 0.121, p = 0.035), IgG (r = 0.097, p < 0.001), IgG2 (r = 0.142, p = 0.022), IgG3 (r = 0.287, p < 0.001), fibrinogen (r = 0.084, p = 0.016), D-Dimer (r = 0.086, p = 0.012) and fibrinogen degradation production (r = 0.150, p = 0.002). The expression of CALR in salivary glands was related to lymphocytes infiltration into salivary glands in pSjS patients (r = 0.7076, p = 0.0034). CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this was the first study to investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of anti-CALR antibody in Chinses pSjS patients. The present study identified an autoimmune antibody, anti-CALR antibody, as a good autoimmune biomarker for sero-negative pSjS.

Abstract
Tumors can produce bioactive substances called tumor-derived supernatants (TDS) that modify the immune response in the host body. This can result in immunosuppressive effects that promote the growth and spread of cancer. During tumorigenesis, the exudation of these substances can disrupt the function of immune sentinels in the host and reinforce the support for cancer cell growth. Tumor cells produce cytokines, growth factors, and proteins, which contribute to the progression of the tumor and the formation of premetastatic niches. By understanding how cancer cells influence the host immune system through the secretion of these factors, we can gain new insights into cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comprehensive profiling of autoantibodies (AAbs) in metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) has not been performed to date. This may aid in diagnosis of UC, uncover novel therapeutic targets in this disease as well as identify associations between AAbs and response and toxicity to systemic therapies. METHODS We used serum from patients with mUC collected prior to and after systemic therapy (immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) or platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC)) at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. 38 age-matched and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) from healthy blood donors were also evaluated. The SeroTag immuno-oncology discovery array (Oncimmune) was used, with quantification of the AAb reactivity toward 1132 antigens. Bound AAbs were detected using an anti-immunoglobulin G-specific detection antibody conjugated to the fluorescent reporter dye phycoerythrin. The AAb reactivity was reported as the median fluorescence intensity for each color and sample using a Luminex FlexMAP3D analyzer. Clinical outcomes of interest included radiographic response and development of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Significance analysis of microarray was used to compare mUC versus HC and radiographic response. Associations with irAE were evaluated using a logistic regression model. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS 66 patients were included with a median age of 68 years; 54 patients (82%) received ICI and 12 patients (18%) received PBC. Compared with HCs, AAbs against the cancer/testis antigens (CTAG1B, CTAG2, MAGEB18), HSPA1A, TP53, KRAS, and FGFR3 were significantly elevated in patients with mUC. AAbs against BRCA2, TP53, and CTNBB1 were associated with response, and those against BICD2 and UACA were associated with resistance to ICI therapy. AAbs against MITF, CDH3, and KDM4A were associated with development of irAEs in patient who received an ICI. A higher variance in pre-to-post treatment fold change in AAb levels was seen in patients treated with ICI versus PBC and was associated with response to ICI. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report of comprehensive AAb profiling of patients with mUC and identified key AAbs that were elevated in patients with mUC versus HCs as well as AAbs associated with therapeutic response to ICI. These findings are hypothesis generating and further mechanistic studies evaluating humoral immunity in UC are required.

Abstract
The lectin chaperones calreticulin (CALR) and calnexin (CANX), together with their co-chaperone PDIA3, are increasingly implicated in studies of human cancers in roles that extend beyond their primary function as quality control facilitators of protein folding within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Led by the discovery that cell surface CALR functions as an immunogen that promotes anti-tumour immunity, studies have now expanded to include their potential uses as prognostic markers for cancers, and in regulation of oncogenic signaling that regulate such diverse processes including integrin-dependent cell adhesion and migration, proliferation, cell death and chemotherapeutic resistance. The diversity stems from the increasing recognition that these proteins have an equally diverse spectrum of subcellular and extracellular localization, and which are aberrantly expressed in tumour cells. This review describes key foundational discoveries and highlight recent findings that further our understanding of the plethora of activities mediated by CALR, CANX and PDIA3.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of anti‐calreticulin autoantibodies (anti‐CRT Ab) in a large cohort of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) patients. Methods Sera from 469 patients with IIM, 196 patients with other connective tissue diseases, 28 patients with solid tumors and 81 healthy controls were screened for anti‐CRT Ab by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay using human recombinant CRT protein. Sera from 35 IIM patients were tested using an immunoprecipitation assay to confirm the presence of anti‐CRT Ab. Subsequently, IIM–cancer patients were identified and divided into new‐onset, remission and recurrent groups based on their cancer status. The relationships between anti‐CRT Ab levels and IIM disease activity were also investigated. Results Serum anti‐CRT Ab was detected positive in 81 of the 469 (17.3%) IIM patients. Immunoprecipitated bands were observed at a molecular weight of 60 kDa corresponding to the CRT protein. The IIM patients with anti‐CRT Ab more frequently had cancers compared to the patients without anti‐CRT Ab. Moreover, the prevalence of anti‐CRT Ab differed according to the cancer status. The IIM patients with recurrent cancers had a much higher prevalence of anti‐CRT Ab than those with cancers in remission. Also, serum anti‐CRT Ab levels positively correlated with disease activity at baseline and at follow‐up visits. Conclusion We report the existence of serum anti‐CRT Ab in IIM patients and demonstrate the possible association of anti‐CRT Ab with malignancy in IIM patients. Serum anti‐CRT Ab could serve as a novel candidate marker of cancer in IIM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Antigen “N” is a high-frequency antigen of the MNS blood groups and carried on glycophorin B that is resistant to enzymatic cleavage by trypsin, and provides differential diagnosis of its antibody specificity to N being present of glycophorin A. Naturally occurring IgM antibodies to N are known to be clinically insignificant, as against the IgG counterpart with clinical relevance. AIM: Auto-anti-“N” association with the bladder cancer was explored for its clinical significance as well as its interference in grouping anomaly. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A warm environment was created while blood sampling for the laboratory work up as the patient had a high-titer auto-cold agglutinin causing spontaneous hemagglutination. The antibody was tested by standard serological methods with the red cell, antisera, and enzymes prepared in house or obtained commercially. RESULTS: The case was admitted to hospital with high fever and hematuria; he was diagnosed with malaria and bladder cancer. He required transfusions in the face of severe anemia. His blood sample posed problems in compatibility tests due to autoantibody present. Serological workup revealed its specificity as anti-“N.” CONCLUSION: Auto-anti-“N” as a cause of severe anemia could not be attributed to, for concurrent malarial infection. However, its presence may have some association with the underlying malignant condition.

Abstract
Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are sensors of exogenous and endogenous "danger" signals from pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), and damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), while autophagy can respond to these signals to control homeostasis. Almost all PRRs can induce autophagy directly or indirectly. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), Nod-like receptors (NLRs), retinoic acid-inducible gene-I-like receptors (RLRs), and cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway can induce autophagy directly through Beclin-1 or LC3-dependent pathway, while the interactions with the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE)/high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), CD91/Calreticulin, and TLRs/HSPs are achieved by protein, Ca2+, and mitochondrial homeostasis. Autophagy presents antigens to PRRs and helps to clean the pathogens. In addition, the induced autophagy can form a negative feedback regulation of PRRs-mediated inflammation in cell/disease-specific manner to maintain homeostasis and prevent excessive inflammation. Understanding the interaction between PRRs and autophagy in a specific disease will promote drug development for immunotherapy. Here, we focus on the interactions between PRRs and autophagy and how they affect the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Abnormal expressions of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins are correlated with increased tumor progression, an advanced histologic grade, and metastasis. LCN1 cells derived from a pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma were grown to form an Aegagropila-shaped conglomeration on a suspension culture dish (LCN1-sus). In contrast, LCN1 cells cultured in a type I collagen dish were adherent and tended to grow as spindle-shaped individual cells (LCN1-co). In this study, aiming at the discovery of predictive markers for tumor invasion, we performed protein profiling between LCN1-sus and LCN1-co cells using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Twenty-six protein spots with >1.2-fold quantitative differences between LCN1-sus and LCN1-co cells were detected. Among the identified proteins, we focused on and immunohistochemically investigated G6PD in lung cancer. G6PD expression was significantly associated with a higher pathological TNM stage (p = 0.0024), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.0187), poorer differentiation (p = 0.0046), pleural invasion (p = 0.0197), vascular invasion (p < 0.0001), lymphatic invasion (p = 0.0200) and poorer prognosis (p = 0.0005) in adenocarcinoma. Especially, G6PD-positive patients with overexpression at the invasive front had significantly poorer survival than those without overexpression (p = 0.0058). Moreover, multivariable analysis revealed that G6PD expression was an independent adverse-prognostic factor. These results suggest that G6PD may be a novel predictive prognostic marker for lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) might be a biomarker for predicting outcomes of bladder cancer. However, the prognostic value of overexpression of MMPs in bladder cancer is debatable and the studies are inconsistent. Therefore, this meta-analysis was performed to clarify the specific association and prognostic value of overexpression of MMPs in bladder carcinoma. Relevant studies were identified by searching PubMed, EMBASE, and the Web of Science. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for disease-specific survival (DSS), overall survival (OS), disease/recurrence-free survival (DFS/RFS), and progression/metastasis-free survival (PFS/MFS) were analyzed to determine the prognostic value of MMPs. In total, eighteen applicable studies were included in this meta-analysis. We found that high expression of MMPs significantly correlated with a poor DSS and OS (HR=1.66; 95% CI = 1.38–2.01 and HR= 1.67; 95%CI= 1.26–2.22). MMPs also predicted tumor progression and metastasis with a pooled HR of 3.03 (95% CI 1.98–4.64). However, high MMPs expression had no pivotal impact on DFS/RFS (HR= 1.21; 95% CI= 0.96–1.53). With the purpose of better understanding the prognostic role of MMPs in patients wirh bladder carcinoma, we carried out this systematic review and meta-analysis.

Functional roles of calreticulin in cancer biology. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:526524.

Abstract
Calreticulin is a highly conserved endoplasmic reticulum chaperone protein which participates in various cellular processes. It was first identified as a Ca2+-binding protein in 1974. Accumulated evidences indicate that calreticulin has great impacts for the development of different cancers and the effect of calreticulin on tumor formation and progression may depend on cell types and clinical stages. Cell surface calreticulin is considered as an “eat-me” signal and promotes phagocytic uptake of cancer cells by immune system. Moreover, several reports reveal that manipulation of calreticulin levels profoundly affects cancer cell proliferation and angiogenesis as well as differentiation. In addition to immunogenicity and tumorigenesis, interactions between calreticulin and integrins have been described during cell adhesion, which is an essential process for cancer metastasis. Integrins are heterodimeric transmembrane receptors which connect extracellular matrix and intracellular cytoskeleton and trigger inside-out or outside-in signaling transduction. More and more evidences reveal that proteins binding to integrins might affect integrin-cytoskeleton interaction and therefore influence ability of cell adhesion. Here, we reviewed the biological roles of calreticulin and summarized the potential mechanisms of calreticulin in regulating mRNA stability and therefore contributed to cancer metastasis.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones and oxidoreductases are abundant enzymes that mediate the production of fully folded secretory and transmembrane proteins. Resisting the Golgi and plasma membrane-directed “bulk flow,” ER chaperones and oxidoreductases enter retrograde trafficking whenever they are pulled outside of the ER by their substrates. Solid tumors are characterized by the increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), combined with reduced blood flow that leads to low oxygen supply and ER stress. Under these conditions, hypoxia and the unfolded protein response upregulate their target genes. When this occurs, ER oxidoreductases and chaperones become important regulators of tumor growth. However, under these conditions, these proteins not only promote the folding of proteins, but also alter the properties of the plasma membrane and hence modulate tumor immune recognition. For instance, high levels of calreticulin serve as an “eat-me” signal on the surface of tumor cells. Conversely, both intracellular and surface BiP/GRP78 promotes tumor growth. Other ER folding assistants able to modulate the properties of tumor tissue include protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), Ero1α and GRP94. Understanding the roles and mechanisms of ER chaperones in regulating tumor cell functions and immunorecognition will lead to important insight for the development of novel cancer therapies.

Abstract
Cell-free protein expression plays an important role in biochemical research. However, only recent developments led to new methods to rapidly synthesize preparative amounts of protein that make cell-free protein expression an attractive alternative to cell-based methods. In particular the wheat germ system provides the highest translation efficiency among eukaryotic cell-free protein expression approaches and has a very high success rate for the expression of soluble proteins of good quality. As an open in vitro method, the wheat germ system is a preferable choice for many applications in protein research including options for protein labeling and the expression of difficult-to-express proteins like membrane proteins and multiple protein complexes. Here I describe wheat germ cell-free protein expression systems and give examples how they have been used in genome-wide expression studies, preparation of labeled proteins for structural genomics and protein mass spectroscopy, automated protein synthesis, and screening of enzymatic activities. Future directions for the use of cell-free expression methods are discussed.
