Abstract
Macrophage polarization is vital to mounting a host defense or repairing tissue in various liver diseases. Excessive activation of the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is related to the orchestration of inflammation and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) pathology. Rab GTPases play critical roles in regulating vesicular transport. In this study we investigated the role of Rab11b in ALD, aiming to identify effective therapeutic targets. Here, we first demonstrated a decreased expression of Rab11b in macrophages from ALD mice. Knockdown of Rab11b by macrophage-specific adeno-associated virus can alleviate alcohol induced liver inflammation, injury and steatosis. We found that LPS and alcohol stimulation promoted Rab11b transferring from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) cells. Rab11b specifically activated the NLRP3 inflammasome in BMDMs and RAW264.7 cells to induce M1 macrophage polarization. Rab11b overexpression in BMDMs inhibited autophagic flux, leading to the suppression of LC3B-mediated NLRP3 degradation. We conclude that impaired Rab11b could alleviate alcohol-induced liver injury via autophagy-mediated NLRP3 degradation.

Abstract
Based on genetic studies, lysosome dysfunction is thought to play a pathogenetic role in Parkinson's disease (PD). Here we show that VPS13C, a bridge-like lipid transport protein and a PD gene, is a sensor of lysosome stress/damage. Upon lysosome membrane perturbation, VPS13C rapidly relocates from the cytosol to the surface of lysosomes where it tethers their membranes to the ER. This recruitment depends on Rab7 and requires release of a brake, most likely an intramolecular interaction within VPS13C, which hinders access of its VAB domain to lysosome-bound Rab7. While another PD protein, LRRK2, is also recruited to stressed/damaged lysosomes, its recruitment occurs at much later stages and by different mechanisms. Given the putative role of VPS13 proteins in bulk lipid transport, these findings suggest lipid delivery to lysosomes by VPS13C is part of an early response to lysosome damage.

Reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton during the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Eur J Cell Biol 2024; 103:151407. [PMID: 38555846 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejcb.2024.151407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
We analyzed actin cytoskeleton alterations during NET extrusion by neutrophil-like dHL-60 cells and human neutrophils in the absence of DNase1 containing serum to avoid chromatin degradation and microfilament disassembly. NET-formation by dHL-60 cells and neutrophils was induced by Ionomycin or phorbol-12-myristat-13-acetate (PMA). Subsequent staining with anti-actin and TRITC-phalloidin showed depolymerization of the cortical F-actin at spatially confined areas, the NET extrusion sites, effected by transient activation of the monooxygenase MICAL-1 supported by the G-actin binding proteins cofilin, profilin, thymosin ß4 and probably the F-actin fragmenting activity of gelsolin and/or its fragments, which also decorated the formed NETs. MICAL-1 itself appeared to be proteolyzed by neutrophil elastase possibly to confine its activity to the NET-extrusion area. The F-actin oxidization activity of MICAL-1 is inhibited by Levosimendan leading to reduced NET-formation. Anti-gasdermin-D immunohistochemistry showed a cytoplasmic distribution in non-stimulated cells. After stimulation the NET-extrusion pore displayed reduced anti-gasdermin-D staining but accumulated underneath the plasma membrane of the remaining cell body. A similar distribution was observed for myosin that concentrated together with cortical F-actin along the periphery of the remaining cell body suggesting force production by acto-myosin interactions supporting NET expulsion as indicated by the inhibitory action of the myosin ATPase inhibitor blebbistatin. Isolated human neutrophils displayed differences in their content of certain cytoskeletal proteins. After stimulation neutrophils with high gelsolin content preferentially formed "cloud"-like NETs, whereas those with low or no gelsolin formed long "filamentous" NETs.

Abstract
Lower population of dopaminergic (DA) neurons is known to increase susceptibility to Parkinson's disease (PD), and our earlier study showed a lower yield of DA neurons in Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase Isoleucine 1371 Valine (LRRK2-I1371V) mutation-carrying PD patient-derived induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs). Although the role of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) in DA neurogenesis of floor plate cells (FPCs) is known, the effect of LRRK2 mutations on SHH responsiveness of FPCs impacting DA neuronal yield has not been studied. We investigated SHH responsiveness of FPCs derived from LRRK2-I1371V PD patient iPSCs with regard to the expression of SHH receptors Patched1 (Ptch1) and Smoothened (Smo), in conjunction with nuclear Gli1 (glioma-associated oncogene 1) expression, intracellular Ca2+ rise, and cytosolic cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels upon SHH induction. In addition, we examined the mechanistic link with LRRK2-I1371V gain-of-function by assessing membrane fluidity and Rab8A and Rab10 phosphorylation in SH-SY5Y cells and healthy control (HC) FPCs overexpressing LRRK2-I1371V as well as FPCs. Although total expression of Ptch1 and Smo was comparable, receptor expression on cell surface was significantly lower in LRRK2-I1371V FPCs than in HC FPCs, with distinctly lower nuclear expression of the downstream transcription factor Gli1. HC-FPCs transfected with LRRK2-I1371V exhibited a similarly reduced cell surface expression of Ptch1 and Smo. Intracellular Ca2+ response was significantly lower with corresponding elevated cAMP levels in LRRK2-I1371V FPCs compared with HC FPCs upon SHH stimulation. The LRRK2-I1371V mutant FPCs and LRRK2-I1371V-transfected SH-SY5Y and HC FPCs too exhibited higher autophosphorylation of phospho LRRK2 (pLRRK2) serine1292 and serine935, as well as substrate phosphorylation of Rab8A and Rab10. Concurrent increase in membrane fluidity, accompanied by a decrease in membrane cholesterol, and lower expression of lipid raft marker caveolin 1 were also observed in them. These findings suggest that impaired SHH responsiveness of LRRK2-I1371V PD FPCs indeed leads to lower yield of DA neurons during ontogeny. Reduced cell surface expression of SHH receptors is influenced by alteration in membrane fluidity owing to the increased substrate phosphorylation of Rab8A and reduced membrane protein trafficking due to pRab10, both results of the LRRK2-I1371V mutation.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis is a terminal manifestation of various chronic liver diseases. There are no drugs that can reverse the condition. Recently, the importance of interleukin-17 (IL17) in the pathophysiology has been revealed and has attracted attention as a therapeutic target. We aimed to reveal the roles of IL17A and IL17F in liver fibrosis, and to validate the potential of their dual blockade as therapeutic strategy. First, we retrospectively reviewed the longitudinal change of FIB-4 index, a clinical indicator of liver fibrosis, among psoriasis patients treated by brodalumab, which blocks IL17 receptor A (IL17RA). Next, we examined anti-fibrotic efficacy of anti-IL17RA antibody (Ab) in two murine liver fibrosis models by histopathological investigation and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Finally, we analyzed the effect of IL17A and IL17F upon human hepatic stellate cells with RNA sequencing, real-time RT-PCR, western blotting, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and flow cytometry. Clinical data showed that FIB-4 index significantly decreased among psoriasis patients treated by brodalumab. In vivo studies additionally demonstrated that anti-IL17RA Ab ameliorates liver fibrosis induced by tetrachloride and methionine-choline deficient diet. Furthermore, in vitro experiments revealed that both IL17A and IL17F enhance cell-surface expression of transforming growth factor-β receptor II and promote pro-fibrotic gene expression via the JUN pathway in human hepatic stellate cells. Our insights suggest that IL17A and IL17F share their pro-fibrotic function in the context of liver fibrosis, and moreover, dual blockade of IL17A and IL17F by anti-IL17RA Ab would be a promising strategy for the management of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Morphological rearrangement of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is critical for metazoan mitosis. Yet, how the ER is remodeled by the mitotic signaling remains unclear. Here, we report that mitotic Aurora kinase A (AURKA) employs a small GTPase, Rab1A, to direct ER remodeling. During mitosis, AURKA phosphorylates Rab1A at Thr75. Structural analysis demonstrates that Thr75 phosphorylation renders Rab1A in a constantly active state by preventing interaction with GDP-dissociation inhibitor (GDI). Activated Rab1A is retained on the ER and induces the oligomerization of ER-shaping protein RTNs and REEPs, eventually triggering an increase of ER complexity. In various models, from Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila to mammals, inhibition of Rab1AThr75 phosphorylation by genetic modifications disrupts ER remodeling. Thus, our study reveals an evolutionarily conserved mechanism explaining how mitotic kinase controls ER remodeling and uncovers a critical function of Rab GTPases in metaphase.

Abstract
Rab32 is a member of the Rab GTPase family that is involved in membrane trafficking and immune response, which are crucial for controlling pathogen infection. However, the role of Rab32 in virus infection is not well understood. In this study, we focused on the regulation of Rab32 on virus infection and the host immunity in orange-spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides. EcRab32 encoded a 213-amino acid polypeptide, which shared a high sequence identity with other Rab32 proteins from fishes to mammals. In healthy orange-spotted grouper, the mRNA of EcRab32 was expressed in all the detected tissues, with the more expression levels in the head kidney, liver and gill. Upon SGIV infection, the expression of EcRab32 was significantly up-regulated in vitro, indicating its potential role in viral infection. EcRab32 was observed to be distributed in the cytoplasm as punctate and vesicle-like structures. EcRab32 overexpression was found to notably inhibit SGIV infection, while the interruption of EcRab32 significantly promoted SGIV infection. In addition, using single particle imaging analysis, we found that EcRab32 overexpression prominently reduced the attachment and internalization of SGIV particles. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that EcRab32 played a positive role in regulating the interferon immune and inflammatory responses. Taken together, these findings indicated that EcRab32 influenced SGIV infection by regulating the host immune response, providing an overall understanding of the interplay between the Rab32 and innate immunity.

Abstract
This comprehensive review article dives deep into the Golgi apparatus, an essential organelle in cellular biology. Beginning with its discovery during the 19th century until today's recognition as an important contributor to cell function. We explore its unique organization and structure as well as its roles in protein processing, sorting, and lipid biogenesis, which play key roles in maintaining homeostasis in cellular biology. This article further explores Golgi biogenesis, exploring its intricate processes and dynamics that contribute to its formation and function. One key focus is its role in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's, where changes to the structure or function of the Golgi apparatus may lead to their onset or progression, emphasizing its key importance in neuronal health. At the same time, we examine the intriguing relationship between Golgi stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, providing insights into their interplay as two major cellular stress response pathways. Such interdependence provides a greater understanding of cellular reactions to protein misfolding and accumulation, hallmark features of many neurodegenerative diseases. In summary, this review offers an exhaustive examination of the Golgi apparatus, from its historical background to its role in health and disease. Additionally, this examination emphasizes the necessity of further research in this field in order to develop targeted therapeutic approaches for Golgi dysfunction-associated conditions. Furthermore, its exploration is an example of scientific progress while simultaneously offering hope for developing innovative treatments for neurodegenerative disorders.

[PMID: 37509166 PMCID: PMC10377500 DOI: 10.3390/biom13071130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Viral entry and fertilization are distinct biological processes that share a common mechanism: membrane fusion. In viral entry, enveloped viruses attach to the host cell membrane, triggering a series of conformational changes in the viral fusion proteins. This results in the exposure of a hydrophobic fusion peptide, which inserts into the host membrane and brings the viral and host membranes into close proximity. Subsequent structural rearrangements in opposing membranes lead to their fusion. Similarly, membrane fusion occurs when gametes merge during the fertilization process, though the exact mechanism remains unclear. Structural biology has played a pivotal role in elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying membrane fusion. High-resolution structures of the viral and fertilization fusion-related proteins have provided valuable insights into the conformational changes that occur during this process. Understanding these mechanisms at a molecular level is essential for the development of antiviral therapeutics and tools to influence fertility. In this review, we will highlight the biological importance of membrane fusion and how protein structures have helped visualize both common elements and subtle divergences in the mechanisms behind fusion; in addition, we will examine the new tools that recent advances in structural biology provide researchers interested in a frame-by-frame understanding of membrane fusion.

J Leukoc Biol 2023; 114:92-105. [PMID: 37141385 DOI: 10.1093/jleuko/qiad050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Mast cells are leukocytes that mediate various aspects of immunity and drive allergic hypersensitivity pathologies. Mast cells differentiate from hematopoietic progenitor cells in a manner that is largely IL-3 dependent. However, molecular mechanisms, including the signaling pathways that control this process, have yet to be thoroughly investigated. Here, we examine the role of the ubiquitous and critical mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway due to its position downstream of the IL-3 receptor. Hematopoietic progenitor cells were harvested from the bone marrow of C57BL/6 mice and differentiated to bone marrow-derived mast cells in the presence of IL-3 and mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors. Inhibition of the JNK node of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway induced the most comprehensive changes to the mature mast cell phenotype. Bone marrow-derived mast cells differentiated during impaired JNK signaling expressed impaired c-kit levels on the mast cell surface, first detected at week 3 of differentiation. Following 1 wk of inhibitor withdrawal and subsequent stimulation of IgE-sensitized FcεRI receptors with allergen (TNP-BSA) and c-kit receptors with stem cell factor, JNK-inhibited bone marrow-derived mast cells exhibited impediments in early-phase mediator release through degranulation (80% of control), as well as late-phase secretion of CCL1, CCL2, CCL3, TNF, and IL-6. Experiments with dual stimulation conditions (TNP-BSA + stem cell factor or TNP-BSA alone) showed that impediments in mediator secretion were found to be mechanistically linked to reduced c-kit surface levels. This study is the first to implicate JNK activity in IL-3-mediated mast cell differentiation and also identifies development as a critical and functionally determinative period.

Astrocytes Differentiated from LRRK2-I1371V Parkinson's-Disease-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Exhibit Similar Yield but Cell-Intrinsic Dysfunction in Glutamate Uptake and Metabolism, ATP Generation, and Nrf2-Mediated Glutathione Machinery. Cells 2023; 12:1592. [PMID: 37371062 DOI: 10.3390/cells12121592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 05/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Owing to the presence of multiple enzymatic domains, LRRK2 has been associated with a diverse set of cellular functions and signaling pathways. It also has several pathological mutant-variants, and their incidences show ethnicity biases and drug-response differences with expression in dopaminergic-neurons and astrocytes. Here, we aimed to assess the cell-intrinsic effect of the LRRK2-I1371V mutant variant, prevalent in East Asian populations, on astrocyte yield and biology, involving Nrf2-mediated glutathione machinery, glutamate uptake and metabolism, and ATP generation in astrocytes derived from LRRK2-I1371V PD patient iPSCs and independently confirmed in LRRK2-I1371V-overexpressed U87 cells. Astrocyte yield (GFAP-immunopositive) was comparable between LRRK2-I1371V and healthy control (HC) populations; however, the astrocytic capability to mitigate oxidative stress in terms of glutathione content was significantly reduced in the mutant astrocytes, along with a reduction in the gene expression of the enzymes involved in glutathione machinery and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression. Simultaneously, a significant decrease in glutamate uptake was observed in LRRK2-I1371V astrocytes, with lower gene expression of glutamate transporters SLC1A2 and SLC1A3. The reduction in the protein expression of SLC1A2 was also directly confirmed. Enzymes catalyzing the generation of γ glutamyl cysteine (precursor of glutathione) from glutamate and the metabolism of glutamate to enter the Krebs cycle (α-ketoglutaric acid) were impaired, with significantly lower ATP generation in LRRK2-I1371V astrocytes. De novo glutamine synthesis via the conversion of glutamate to glutamine was also affected, indicating glutamate metabolism disorder. Our data demonstrate for the first time that the mutation in the LRRK2-I1371V allele causes significant astrocytic dysfunction with respect to Nrf2-mediated antioxidant machinery, AT -generation, and glutamate metabolism, even with comparable astrocyte yields.

Abstract
Hyperphosphorylated Rab10 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. However, the neurophysiological function of the evolutionarily conserved Thr73 phosphorylation of Rab10 remains poorly understood. Here, we generated a novel mouse model expressing the non-phosphorylatable T73V mutation of Rab10 and performed a comprehensive series of neurological analyses, including behavioral tests, synaptic evaluations, neuronal and glial staining, assessments of neurite arborization and spine morphogenesis. The Rab10 T73V mutantmice exhibited a characteristic anxiety-like phenotype with other behavioral modules relatively unaffected. Moreover, Rab10 T73V mutant mice displayed striatum-specific synaptic dysfunction, as indicated by aberrantly increased expression levels of synaptic proteins and impaired frequencies of miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents. The genetic deletion of Rab10 phosphorylation enhanced neurite arborization and accelerated spine maturation in striatal medium spiny neurons. Our findings emphasize the specific role of intrinsic phospho-Rab10 in the regulation of the striatal circuitry and its related behaviors.

Quantitative Phosphoproteomics Reveals the Requirement of DYRK1-Mediated Phosphorylation of Ion Transport- and Cell Junction-Related Proteins for Notochord Lumenogenesis in Ascidian. Cells 2023; 12:cells12060921.

Abstract
The dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase (DYRK1) phosphorylates diverse substrates involved in various cellular processes. Here, we found that blocking the kinase activity of DYRK1 inhibited notochord development and lumenogenesis in ascidian Ciona savignyi. By performing phosphoproteomics in conjunction with notochord-specific proteomics, we identified 1065 notochord-specific phosphoproteins that were present during lumen inflation, of which 428 differentially phosphorylated proteins (DPPs) were identified after inhibition of DYRK1 kinase activity. These DPPs were significantly enriched in metal ion transmembrane transporter activity, protein transport and localization, and tight junction. We next analyzed the downregulated phosphoproteins and focused on those belonging to the solute carrier (SLC), Ras-related protein (RAB), and tight junction protein (TJP) families. In vivo phospho-deficient study showed that alanine mutations on the phosphosites of these proteins resulted in defects of lumenogenesis during Ciona notochord development, demonstrating the crucial roles of phosphorylation of transmembrane transport-, vesicle trafficking-, and tight junction-related proteins in lumen formation. Overall, our study provides a valuable data resource for investigating notochord lumenogenesis and uncovers the molecular mechanisms of DYRK1-mediated notochord development and lumen inflation.

Abstract
Neurons process real-time information from axon terminals to coordinate gene expression, growth, and plasticity. Inputs from distal axons are encoded as a stream of endocytic organelles, termed signalling endosomes, targeted to the soma. Formation of these organelles depends on target-derived molecules, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is recognised by TrkB receptors on the plasma membrane, endocytosed, and transported to the cell body along the microtubules network. Notwithstanding its physiological and neuropathological importance, the mechanism controlling the sorting of TrkB to signalling endosomes is currently unknown. In this work, we use primary mouse neurons to uncover the small GTPase Rab10 as critical for TrkB sorting and propagation of BDNF signalling from axon terminals to the soma. Our data demonstrate that Rab10 defines a novel membrane compartment that is rapidly mobilised towards the axon terminal upon BDNF stimulation, enabling the axon to fine-tune retrograde signalling depending on BDNF availability at the synapse. These results help clarifying the neuroprotective phenotype recently associated to Rab10 polymorphisms in Alzheimer's disease and provide a new therapeutic target to halt neurodegeneration.

Construction of Two Independent RAB Family-Based Scoring Systems Based on Machine Learning Algorithms and Definition of RAB13 as a Novel Therapeutic Target for Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054335.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a global health challenge with a low early diagnosis rate and high mortality. The Rab GTPase (RAB) family plays an essential role in the occurrence and progression of HCC. Nonetheless, a comprehensive and systematic investigation of the RAB family has yet to be performed in HCC. We comprehensively assessed the expression landscape and prognostic significance of the RAB family in HCC and systematically correlated these RAB family genes with tumor microenvironment (TME) characteristics. Then, three RAB subtypes with distinct TME characteristics were determined. Using a machine learning algorithm, we further established a RAB score to quantify TME features and immune responses of individual tumors. Moreover, to better evaluate patient prognosis, we established a RAB risk score as an independent prognostic factor for patients with HCC. The risk models were validated in independent HCC cohorts and distinct HCC subgroups, and their complementary advantages guided clinical practice. Furthermore, we further confirmed that the knockdown of RAB13, a pivotal gene in risk models, suppressed HCC cell proliferation and metastasis by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, CDK1/CDK4 expression, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. In addition, RAB13 inhibited the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling and the expression of IRF1/IRF4. More importantly, we confirmed that RAB13 knockdown enhanced GPX4-dependent ferroptosis vulnerability, highlighting RAB13 as a potential therapeutic target. Overall, this work revealed that the RAB family played an integral role in forming HCC heterogeneity and complexity. RAB family-based integrative analysis contributed to enhancing our understanding of the TME and guided more effective immunotherapy and prognostic evaluation.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease associated with the intracellular organelles. Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a large multi-structural domain protein, and mutation in LRRK2 is associated with PD. LRRK2 regulates intracellular vesicle transport and function of organelles, including Golgi and lysosome. LRRK2 phosphorylates a group of Rab GTPases, including Rab29, Rab8, and Rab10. Rab29 acts in a common pathway with LRRK2. Rab29 has been shown to recruit LRRK2 to the Golgi complex (GC) to stimulate LRRK2 activity and alter the Golgi apparatus (GA). Interaction between LRRK2 and Vacuolar protein sorting protein 52 (VPS52), a subunit of the Golgi-associated retrograde protein (GARP) complex, mediates the function of intracellular soma trans-Golgi network (TGN) transport. VPS52 also interacts with Rab29. Knockdown of VPS52 leads to the loss of LRRK2/Rab29 transported to the TGN. Rab29, LRRK2, and VPS52 work together to regulate functions of the GA, which is associated with PD. We highlight recent advances in the roles of LRRK2, Rabs, VPS52, and other molecules, such as Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) and protein kinase C (PKC) in the GA, and discuss their possible association with the pathological mechanisms of PD.
