Abstract
As a highly dynamic tissue, bone is continuously rebuilt throughout life. Both bone formation by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts constitute bone reconstruction homeostasis. The equilibrium of bone homeostasis is governed by many complicated signaling pathways that weave together to form an intricate network. These pathways coordinate the meticulous processes of bone formation and resorption, ensuring the structural integrity and dynamic vitality of the skeletal system. Dysregulation of the bone homeostatic regulatory signaling network contributes to the development and progression of many skeletal diseases. Significantly, imbalanced bone homeostasis further disrupts the signaling network and triggers a cascade reaction that exacerbates disease progression and engenders a deleterious cycle. Here, we summarize the influence of signaling pathways on bone homeostasis, elucidating the interplay and crosstalk among them. Additionally, we review the mechanisms underpinning bone homeostatic imbalances across diverse disease landscapes, highlighting current and prospective therapeutic targets and clinical drugs. We hope that this review will contribute to a holistic understanding of the signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms sustaining bone homeostasis, which are promising to contribute to further research on bone homeostasis and shed light on the development of targeted drugs.

Abstract
The EphB4-ephrinB2 signaling axis has been heavily implicated in metastasis across numerous cancer types. Our emerging understanding of the dichotomous roles that EphB4 and ephrinB2 play in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) poses a significant challenge to rational drug design. We find that EphB4 knockdown in cancer cells enhances metastasis in preclinical HNSCC models by augmenting immunosuppressive cells like T regulatory cells (Tregs) within the tumor microenvironment. EphB4 inhibition in cancer cells also amplifies their ability to metastasize through increased expression of genes associated with epithelial mesenchymal transition and hallmark pathways of metastasis. In contrast, vascular ephrinB2 knockout coupled with radiation therapy (RT) enhances anti-tumor immunity, reduces Treg accumulation into the tumor, and decreases metastasis. Notably, targeting the EphB4-ephrinB2 signaling axis with the engineered EphB4 ligands EFNB2-Fc-His and Fc-TNYL-RAW-GS reduces local tumor growth and distant metastasis in a preclinical model of HNSCC. Our data suggest that targeted inhibition of vascular ephrinB2 while avoiding inhibition of EphB4 in cancer cells could be a promising strategy to mitigate HNSCC metastasis.

Arch Biochem Biophys 2024; 756:109990. [PMID: 38636690 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2024.109990] [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: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
Nucleus pulposus (NP) cell apoptosis is a significant indication of accelerated intervertebral disc degeneration; however, the precise mechanism is unelucidated as of yet. Ephrin B2 (EFNB2), the only gene down-regulated in the three degraded intervertebral disc tissue microarray groups (GSE70362, GSE147383 and GSE56081), was screened for examination in this study. Subsequently, EFNB2 was verified to be down-regulated in degraded NP tissue samples. Interleukin-1 (IL-1β) treatment of NP cells to simulate the IDD environment indicated that IL-1β treatment decreased EFNB2 expression. In degenerative NP cells stimulated by IL-1β, EFNB2 knockdown significantly increased the rate of apoptosis as well as the apoptosis-related molecules cleaved-caspase-3 and the Bax to Bcl-2 ratio. EFNB2 was found to promote AKT, PI3K, and mTOR phosphorylation; the PI3K/AKT signaling role was investigated using the PI3K inhibitor LY294002. EFNB2 overexpression significantly increased PI3K/AKT pathway activity in IL-1β-stimulated NP cells than the normal control. Moreover, EFNB2 partially alleviated NP cell apoptosis induced by IL-1β, reduced the cleaved-cas3 level, and decreased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio after the addition of the inhibitor LY294002. Additionally, EFNB2 overexpression inhibited the ERK1/2 phosphorylation; the effects of EFNB2 overexpression on ERK1/2 phosphorylation, degenerative NP cell viability, and cell apoptosis were partially reversed by ERK signaling activator Ceramide C6. EFNB2 comprehensively inhibited the apoptosis of NP cells by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling and inhibiting the ERK signaling, obviating the exacerbation of IDD. EFNB2 could be a potential target to protect against degenerative disc changes.

Abstract
Eph receptors and their Eph receptor-interacting (ephrin) ligands comprise a vital cell communication system with several functions. In cancer cells, there was evidence of bilateral Eph receptor signaling with both tumor-suppressing and tumor-promoting actions. As a member of the Eph receptor family, EphB4 has been linked to tumor angiogenesis, growth, and metastasis, which makes it a viable and desirable target for drug development in therapeutic applications. Many investigations have been conducted over the last decade to elucidate the structure and function of EphB4 in association with its ligand ephrinB2 for its involvement in tumorigenesis. Although several EphB4-targeting drugs have been investigated, and some selective inhibitors have been evaluated in clinical trials. This article addresses the structure and function of the EphB4 receptor, analyses its possibility as an anticancer therapeutic target, and summarises knowledge of EphB4 kinase inhibitors. To summarise, EphB4 is a difficult but potential treatment option for cancers.

Abstract
Mitochondria play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of tumors. We used mitochondria-related genes for consistent clustering to identify three stable molecular subtypes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with different prognoses, mutations, and immune characteristics. Significant differences were observed in clinical characteristics, immune microenvironment, immune cell infiltration, and immune cell scores. TP53 was the most significantly mutated; cell cycle-related pathways and tumorigenesis-related pathways were activated in different subtypes. Risk modeling was conducted using a multifactor stepwise regression method, and nine genes were identified as mitochondria-related genes affecting prognosis (DKK1, EFNB2, ITGA5, AREG, EPHX3, CHGB, P4HA1, CCND1, and JCHAIN). Risk score calculations revealed significant differences in prognosis, immune cell scores, immune cell infiltration, and responses to conventional chemotherapy drugs. Glycolysis, angiogenesis, hypoxia, and tumor-related pathways were positively correlated with the RiskScore. Clinical samples were subjected to qPCR to validate the results. In this work, we constructed a prognostic model based on the mitochondrial correlation score, which well reflects the risk and positive factors for the prognosis of patients with HNSCC. This model can be used to guide individualized adjuvant and immunotherapy in patients with HNSCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE While existing literature has provided insights into involvement of circEPHB4, SOX2 in glioma, their precise molecular mechanisms and synergistic implications in glioma pathogenesis still dim. This study aims to investigate significance and underlying mechanism of m6A-modified circEPHB4 in regulating SOX2/PHLDB2 axis in gliomas. METHODS The mRNA and protein expression were tested by qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. ChIP assay was performed to detect SOX2 enrichment on the PHLDB2 promoter. Cell sphere-forming assay to detect self-renewal ability, flow cytometry to determine positivity of CD133 expressions, Malignant behavior of glioma cells were detected by CCK-8, plate colony formation, scratch, and transwell assays. Glioma xenograft models were constructed to investigate effects of CircEPHB4 in tumor development in vivo. RESULTS Methyltransferase MELLT3 upregulated m6A modification of CircEPHB4, and YTHDC1 promoted cytoplasmic localization of m6A-modified CircEPHB4. Overexpression of wild-type CircEPHB4 enhanced glioma cells' stemness, metastasis, and proliferation. Cytoplasmic CircEPHB4 increased SOX2 mRNA stability by binding to IGF2BP2, and the effects observed by SOX2 knockdown were reversed by CircEPHB4 in glioma cells. SOX2 promoted transcriptional expression of PHLDB2 by enriching the PHLDB2 promoter region. SOX2 reversed the inhibition of PHLDB2 knockdown on stemness of glioma, cell proliferation, and metastasis. In vivo experiments also revealed that CircEPHB4 upregulated PHLDB2 expression by stabilizing SOX2 mRNA, which promoted in vivo tumor growth and accelerated stemness of glioma cells and metastasis. CONCLUSION This study reveals functional interaction and molecular mechanisms of m6A-modified circEPHB4 in regulating SOX2/PHLDB2 axis, highlighting their importance in glioma pathogenesis and potential as therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Benzoquinolines are used in many drug design projects as starting molecules subject to derivatization. This computational study aims to characterize e benzoquinone drug space to ease future drug design processes based on these molecules. The drug space is composed of all benzoquinones, which are active on topoisomerase II and ATP synthase. Topological, chemical, and bioactivity spaces are explored using computational methodologies based on virtual screening and scaffold hopping and molecular docking, respectively. Topological space is a geometrical space in which the elements composing it can be defined as a set of neighbors (which satisfy a particular axiom). In such space, a chemical space can be defined as the property space spanned by all possible molecules and chemical compounds adhering to a given set of construction principles and boundary conditions. In this chemical space, the potentially pharmacologically active molecules form the bioactivity space. Results show a poly-morphological chemical space that suggests distinct characteristics. The chemical space is correlated with properties such as steric energy, the number of hydrogen bonds, the presence of halogen atoms, and membrane permeability-related properties. Lastly, novel chemical compounds (such as oxadiazole methybenzamide and floro methylcyclohexane diene) with drug-like potential, active on TOPO II and ATP synthase have been identified.

Abstract
Vascular guidance is critical in developmental vasculogenesis and pathological angiogenesis. Brain tumors are strongly vascularized, and antiangiogenic therapy was anticipated to exhibit a strong anti-tumor effect in this tumor type. However, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) specific inhibition had no significant impact in clinical practice of gliomas. More research is needed to understand the failure of this therapeutic approach. EphrinB2 has been found to directly interact with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and regulate its activity. Here we analyzed the expression of ephrinB2 and EphB4 in human glioma, we observed vascular localization of ephrinB2 in physiology and pathology and found a significant survival reduction in patients with elevated ephrinB2 tumor expression. Induced endothelial specific depletion of ephrinB2 in the adult mouse (efnb2i∆EC) had no effect on the quiescent vascular system of the brain. However, we found glioma growth and perfusion altered in efnb2i∆EC animals similar to the effects observed with antiangiogenic therapy. No additional anti-tumor effect was observed in efnb2i∆EC animals treated with antiangiogenic therapy. Our data indicate that ephrinB2 and VEGFR2 converge on the same pathway and intervention with either molecule results in a reduction in angiogenesis.
