Gonçalves A, Machado R, Gomes AC. Self-assembled nanoparticles of hybrid elastin-like and Oncostatin M polymers for improved wound healing. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 169:214150. [PMID: 39693870 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.214150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2024] [Revised: 12/10/2024] [Accepted: 12/12/2024] [Indexed: 12/20/2024]
Abstract
Oncostatin M (OSM) is a pleiotropic cytokine that can significantly enhance wound healing. Here, we report on the use of nanoparticles (NPs) formulated from a genetically engineered A200_hOSM protein polymer, which combines an elastin-like recombinamer (A200) with human OSM (hOSM) in the same molecule, aiming at enhancing wound healing processes. A200_hOSM NPs were obtained by self-assembly and evaluated for their bioactivity in human keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The NPs demonstrated superior efficacy in promoting cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, exhibiting nearly threefold greater proliferation at 48 and 72 h, compared to cells treated with commercial hOSM. Moreover, the NPs stimulated cell migration and collagen production through activation of JAK/STAT3 signaling. They also promoted the production of IL-6 and IL-8, pro-inflammatory cytokines with a critical role for wound healing. Promotion of keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation were further validated in non-commercial 3D skin equivalents. The A200_hOSM NPs revealed potential in accelerating wound healing, evidenced by reduced wound size and a thicker epidermal layer. This system represents a significant advancement in the field of bioinspired biomaterials by improving cytokine bioavailability, allowing for localized therapy and offering a cost-effective strategy for employing hOSM in wound healing management.

Abstract
Maternal education was strongly correlated with adolescent brain morphology, cognitive performances, and mental health. However, the molecular basis for the effects of maternal education on the structural neurodevelopment remains unknown. Here, we conducted gene-environment-wide interaction study using the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development cohort. Seven genomic loci with significant gene-environment interactions (G×E) on regional gray matter volumes were identified, with enriched biological functions related to metabolic process, inflammatory process, and synaptic plasticity. Additionally, genetic overlapping results with behavioral and disease-related phenotypes indicated shared biological mechanism between maternal education modified neurodevelopment and related behavioral traits. Finally, by decomposing the multidimensional components of maternal education, we found that socioeconomic status, rather than family environment, played a more important role in modifying the genetic effects on neurodevelopment. In summary, our study provided analytical evidence for G×E effects regarding adolescent neurodevelopment and explored potential biological mechanisms as well as social mechanisms through which maternal education could modify the genetic effects on regional brain development.

JOURNAL/nrgr/04.03/01300535-202419110-00031/figure1/v/2024-03-08T184507Z/r/image-tiff Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease, and the molecular mechanism underlying its pathology remains poorly understood. However, inflammation is known to play an important role in the development of this condition. To identify driver genes that affect the inflammatory response in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as well as potential treatment targets, it is crucial to analyze brain tissue samples from patients with both sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and C9orf72-related amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Therefore, in this study we used a network-driven gene analysis tool, NetBID2.0, which is based on SJARACNe, a scalable algorithm for the reconstruction of accurate cellular networks, to experimentally analyze sequencing data from patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The results showed that the OSMR gene is pathogenic in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and participates in the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by mediating the neuroinflammatory response. Furthermore, there were differences in OSMR activity and expression between patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and those with C9orf72-related amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. These findings suggest that OSMR may be a diagnostic and prognostic marker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) cells have the potential to switch from being "proliferative cells" to peritumoral "invasive cells". Peritumoral GBM cells have highly invasive properties that allow them to survive surgery, leading to recurrence. The mechanisms underlying the manner in which the tumor microenvironment (TME) regulates the invasiveness of GBM remain unclear. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis revealed heterogeneity in GBM cells, microglia and macrophages. In this study, the Oncostatin M receptor (OSMR) and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) expression indicated higher invasiveness in core GBM cells. Under environmental stress, the expression of OSMR and LIFR were up-regulated with the effect of hypoxic, acidic, and low-glucose conditions in vitro. Functional experiments revealed that TME stress significantly influences the proliferation, migration and invasion of GBM cells. The differences in core/peripheral TMEs in GBM affected the invasive properties, indicating the significant role of OSMR expression within the TME in tumor progression and postoperative therapy.

Abstract
The advent of biologic drugs has revolutionized the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, increasing rates of response and mucosal healing in comparison to conventional therapies by allowing the treatment of corticosteroid-refractory cases and reducing corticosteroid-related side effects. However, biologic therapies (anti-TNFα inhibitors, anti-α4β7 integrin and anti-IL12/23) are still burdened by rates of response that hover around 40% (in biologic-naïve patients) or lower (for biologic-experienced patients). Moreover, knowledge of the mechanisms underlying drug resistance or loss of response is still scarce. Several cellular and molecular determinants are implied in therapeutic failure; genetic predispositions, in the form of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the sequence of cytokines or Human Leukocyte Antigen, or an altered expression of cytokines and other molecules involved in the inflammation cascade, play the most important role. Accessory mechanisms include gut microbiota dysregulation. In this narrative review of the current and most recent literature, we shed light on the mentioned determinants of therapeutic failure in order to pave the way for a more personalized approach that could help avoid unnecessary treatments and toxicities.

Abstract
Background: Oncostatin M, a novel adipokine, plays a role in oogenesis, lipogenesis, and inflammation and may contribute to polycystic ovary syndrome pathogenesis and related metabolic problems. Adipokines are believed to contribute to developing polycystic ovary syndrome and its accompanying metabolic parameters, such as dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular diseases. Methods: In this case-control study, the patients were grouped in a 1:1 ratio into either the polycystic ovary syndrome (n = 32) or the control group (n = 32). Serum levels of fasting glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, white blood cell count, thyroid-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, total testosterone, prolactin, estradiol, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, and oncostatin M were analyzed. Results: Oncostatin M levels were significantly lower, but C-reactive protein levels were substantially higher in the polycystic ovary syndrome group than in the control group (p = 0.002, p = 0.001, respectively). Oncostatin M was inversely correlated with total cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting glucose, and the luteinizing hormone/follicle-stimulating hormone ratio (ρ = -0.329, p =0.017; ρ = -0.386, p = 0.005; ρ = -0.440, p = 0.001; ρ = -0.316, p = 0.023, respectively). Conversely, there was no correlation between oncostatin M and total testosterone level (ρ = 0.220; p = 0.118). In the context of inflammation and metabolic parameters, oncostatin M was inversely correlated with C-reactive protein, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance score, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (ρ = -0.353, p = 0.019; ρ = -0.275, p = 0.048; ρ = -0.470, p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Plasma oncostatin M levels were considerably lower in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome than in the control group, and this was inversely correlated with the hormonal and metabolic parameters of polycystic ovary syndrome. Thus, oncostatin M may be a novel therapeutic target for polycystic ovary syndrome and its metabolic parameters.

Abstract
The role of non-parenchymal cells (NPCs) in the early phase of acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury (AILI) remains unclear. Therefore, single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed to explore the heterogeneity and immune network of NPCs in the livers of mice with AILI. Mice were challenged with saline, 300 mg/kg APAP, or 750 mg/kg APAP (n = 3 for each group). After 3 h, the liver samples were collected, digested, and subjected to scRNA-seq. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were performed to confirm the expression of Makorin ring finger protein 1 (Mkrn1). We identified 14 distinct cell subtypes among the 120,599 cells. A variety of NPCs were involved, even in the early stages of AILI, indicating highly heterogeneous transcriptome dynamics. Cholangiocyte cluster 3, which had high deleted in malignant brain tumors 1 (Dmbt1) expression, was found to perform drug metabolism and detoxification functions. Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells exhibited fenestrae loss and angiogenesis. Macrophage cluster 1 displayed a M1 polarization phenotype, whereas cluster 3 tended to exhibit M2 polarization. Kupffer cells (KCs) exhibited pro-inflammatory effects due to the high expression of Cxcl2. qRT-PCR and western blotting verified that the LIFR-OSM axis might promote the activation of MAPK signaling pathway in RAW264.7 macrophages. Mkrn1 was highly expressed in the liver macrophages of AILI mice and AILI patients. Interaction patterns between macrophages/KCs and other NPCs were complex and diverse. NPCs were highly heterogeneous and were involved in the immune network during the early phase of AILI. In addition, we propose that Mkrn1 may serve as a potential biomarker of AILI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The human oncostatin M receptor subunit , commonly known as the oncostatin M receptor (OSMR), is a cell surface protein and belongs to the family of type I cytokine receptors. It is highly expressed in several cancers and is a potential therapeutic target. Structurally, OSMR consists of three major domains: the extracellular, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic domains. The extracellular domain further comprises four Type III fibronectin subdomains. The functional relevance of these type III fibronectin domains is not known yet, and it is of great interest to us to understand their role in OSMR-mediated interactions with other oncogenic proteins. METHODS & RESULTS The four type III fibronectin domains of hOSMR were amplified by PCR using the pUNO1-hOSMR construct as a template. The molecular size of the amplified products was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The amplicons were then cloned into a pGEX4T3 vector containing GST as an N-terminal tag. Positive clones with domain inserts were identified by restriction digestion and overexpressed in E. coli Rosetta (DE3) cells. The optimum conditions for overexpression were found to be 1 mM IPTG and an incubation temperature of 37 °C. The overexpression of the fibronectin domains was confirmed by SDS-PAGE, and they are affinity purified by using glutathione agarose beads in three repetitive steps. The purity of the isolated domains analyzed by SDS-PAGE and western blotting showed that they were exactly at their corresponding molecular weights as a single distinct band. CONCLUSION In this study, we have successfully cloned, expressed, and purified four Type III fibronectin subdomains of hOSMR.
