Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a primary hepatobiliary malignancy, is characterized by a poor prognosis and a lack of effective treatments. Therefore, the need to explore novel therapeutic approaches is urgent. While the role of Peptidylprolyl Cis/Trans Isomerase, NIMA-Interacting 1 (PIN1) has been extensively studied in various tumor types, its involvement in CCA remains poorly understood. METHODS In this study, we employed tissue microarray (TMA), reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to assess the expression of PIN1. Through in vitro and in vivo functional experiments, we investigated the impact of PIN1 on the adhesion and metastasis of CCA. Additionally, we explored downstream molecular pathways using RNA-seq, western blotting, co-immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and mass spectrometry techniques. RESULTS Our findings revealed a negative correlation between PIN1 overexpression and prognosis in CCA tissues. Furthermore, high PIN1 expression promoted CCA cell proliferation and migration. Mechanistically, PIN1 functioned as an oncogene by regulating ANXA2 phosphorylation, thereby promoting CCA adhesion. Notably, the interaction between PIN1 and ANXA2 was facilitated by RACK1. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of PIN1 using the FDA-approved drug all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) effectively suppressed the metastatic potential of CCA cells in a nude mouse lung metastasis model. CONCLUSION Overall, our study emphasizes the critical role of the PIN1/RACK1/ANXA2 complex in CCA growth and functionality, highlighting the potential of targeting PIN1 as a promising therapeutic strategy for CCA.

Implantation of engineered human microvasculature to study human infectious diseases in mouse models. iScience 2023; 26:106286. [PMID: 36942053 PMCID: PMC10024136 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.106286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Animal models for studying human pathogens are crucially lacking. We describe the implantation in mice of engineered human mature microvasculature consisting of endothelial and perivascular cells embedded in collagen hydrogel that allows investigation of pathogen interactions with the endothelium, including in vivo functional studies. Using Neisseria meningitidis as a paradigm of human-restricted infection, we demonstrated the strength and opportunities associated with the use of this approach.

Abstract
In this article, a review of a series of applications of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and fluidic Atomic Force Microscopy (fluidic AFM, hereafter fluidFM) in single-cell studies is presented. AFM applications involving single-cell and extracellular vesicle (EV) studies, colloidal force spectroscopy, and single-cell adhesion measurements are discussed. FluidFM is an offshoot of AFM that combines a microfluidic cantilever with AFM and has enabled the research community to conduct biological, pathological, and pharmacological studies on cells at the single-cell level in a liquid environment. In this review, capacities of fluidFM are discussed to illustrate (1) the speed with which sequential measurements of adhesion using coated colloid beads can be done, (2) the ability to assess lateral binding forces of endothelial or epithelial cells in a confluent cell monolayer in an appropriate physiological environment, and (3) the ease of measurement of vertical binding forces of intercellular adhesion between heterogeneous cells. Furthermore, key applications of fluidFM are reviewed regarding to EV absorption, manipulation of a single living cell by intracellular injection, sampling of cellular fluid from a single living cell, patch clamping, and mass measurements of a single living cell.
