Abstract
Despite their significance in receptor-mediated internalization and continued signal transduction in cells, early/sorting endosomes (EE/SE) remain incompletely characterized, with many outstanding questions that surround the dynamics of their size and number. While several studies have reported increases in EE/SE size and number resulting from endocytic events, few studies have addressed such dynamics in a methodological and quantitative manner. Herein we apply quantitative fluorescence microscopy to measure the size and number of EE/SE upon internalization of two different ligands: transferrin and epidermal growth factor. Additionally, we used siRNA knock-down to determine the involvement of 5 different endosomal RAB proteins (RAB4, RAB5, RAB8A, RAB10 and RAB11A) in EE/SE dynamics. Our study provides new information on the dynamics of endosomes during endocytosis, an important reference for researchers studying receptor-mediated internalization and endocytic events.

Abstract
Introduction: Pathogenic mutations in RPGR ORF15, one of two major human RPGR isoforms, were responsible for most X-linked retinitis pigmentosa cases. Previous studies have shown that RPGR plays a critical role in ciliary protein transport. However, the precise mechanisms of disease triggered by RPGR ORF15 mutations have yet to be clearly defined. There are two homologous genes in zebrafish, rpgra and rpgrb. Zebrafish rpgra has a single transcript homologous to human RPGR ORF15; rpgrb has two major transcripts: rpgrb ex1-17 and rpgrb ORF15, similar to human RPGR ex1-19 and RPGR ORF15, respectively. rpgrb knockdown in zebrafish resulted in both abnormal development and increased cell death in the dysplastic retina. However, the impact of knocking down rpgra in zebrafish remains undetermined. Here, we constructed a rpgra mutant zebrafish model to investigate the retina defect and related molecular mechanism. Methods: we utilized transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) to generate a rpgra mutant zebrafish. Western blot was used to determine protein expression. RT-PCR was used to quantify gene transcription levels. The visual function of embryonic zebrafish was detected by electroretinography. Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the pathological changes in the retina of mutant zebrafish and transmission electron microscope was employed to view subcellular structure of photoreceptor cells. Results: A homozygous rpgra mutant zebrafish with c.1675_1678delins21 mutation was successfully constructed. Despite the normal morphological development of the retina at 5 days post-fertilization, visual dysfunction was observed in the mutant zebrafish. Further histological and immunofluorescence assays indicated that rpgra mutant zebrafish retina photoreceptors progressively began to degenerate at 3-6 months. Additionally, the mislocalization of cone outer segment proteins (Opn1lw and Gnb3) and the accumulation of vacuole-like structures around the connecting cilium below the OSs were observed in mutant zebrafish. Furthermore, Rab8a, a key regulator of opsin-carrier vesicle trafficking, exhibited decreased expression and evident mislocalization in mutant zebrafish. Discussion: This study generated a novel rpgra mutant zebrafish model, which showed retinal degeneration. our data suggested Rpgra is necessary for the ciliary transport of cone-associated proteins, and further investigation is required to determine its function in rods. The rpgra mutant zebrafish constructed in this study may help us gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of retinal degeneration caused by RPGR ORF15 mutation and find some useful treatment in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Statins are widely prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs but have been shown to increase the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the diabetogenic effect of statins are still not fully understood. METHODS The effects of geranylgeranyl transferase I and II (GGTase I and II) inhibition on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and GLUT4 translocation, and the dependence of these effects on insulin signalling were investigated in skeletal muscle cells. The protective effects of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) and its precursor geranylgeraniol (GGOH) on simvastatin-induced insulin resistance were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The effect of GGTase II inhibition in skeletal muscle on insulin sensitivity in vivo was confirmed by adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9)-mediated knockdown of the specific subunit of GGTase II, RABGGTA. The regulatory mechanisms of GGTase I on insulin signalling and GGTase II on insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation were investigated by knockdown of RhoA, TAZ, IRS1, geranylgeranylation site mutation of RhoA, RAB8A, and RAB13. RESULTS Both inhibition of GGTase I and II mimicked simvastatin-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle cells. GGPP and GGOH were able to prevent simvastatin-induced skeletal muscle insulin resistance in vitro and in vivo. GGTase I inhibition suppressed the phosphorylation of AKT (Ser473) (-51.3%, P < 0.01), while GGTase II inhibition had no effect on it. AAV9-mediated knockdown of RABGGTA in skeletal muscle impaired glucose disposal without disrupting insulin signalling in vivo (-46.2% for gastrocnemius glucose uptake, P < 0.001; -52.5% for tibialis anterior glucose uptake, P < 0.001; -17.8% for soleus glucose uptake, P < 0.05; -31.4% for extensor digitorum longus glucose uptake, P < 0.01). Inhibition of RhoA, TAZ, IRS1, or geranylgeranylation deficiency of RhoA attenuated the beneficial effect of GGPP on insulin signalling in skeletal muscle cells. Geranylgeranylation deficiency of RAB8A inhibited insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation and concomitant glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells (-42.8% for GLUT4 translocation, P < 0.01; -50.6% for glucose uptake, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate regulates glucose uptake via GGTase I-mediated insulin signalling-dependent way and GGTase II-mediated insulin signalling-independent way in skeletal muscle. Supplementation of GGPP/GGOH could be a potential therapeutic strategy for statin-induced insulin resistance.

Abstract
Purpose Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a prevalent illness in intensive care units. Extracellular vesicles and particles released from activated alveolar macrophages (AMs) assist in ARDS lung injury and the inflammatory process through mechanisms that are unclear. This study investigated the role of AM-derived secretory autophagosomes (SAPs) in lung injury and microRNA (MiR)-199a-3p-regulated inflammation associated with ARDS in vitro and in a murine model. Methods The ARDS model in mouse was established by intratracheal LPS lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. The agomirs or antagomirs of MiR-199a-3p were injected into the caudal vein to figure out whether MiR-199a-3p could influence ARDS inflammation and lung injury, whereas the mimics or inhibitors of MiR-199a-3p, siRNA of Rab8a, or PAK4 inhibitor were transfected or applied to RAW264.7 cells to evaluate the mechanism of SAP release. Culture supernatants of RAW264.7 cells treated with LPS or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from mice were collected for the isolation of SAPs. Results We found that MiR-199a-3p was over-expressed in the lungs of ARDS mice. The MiR-199a-3p antagomir alleviated, whereas the MiR-199a-3p agomir exacerbated LPS-induced inflammation in mice by promoting AM-derived SAP secretion. In addition, MiR-199a-3p over-expression exacerbated LPS-induced ARDS via activating Rab8a, and Rab8a silencing significantly suppressed the promoting influence of the MiR-199a-3p mimic on SAP secretion. Furthermore, MiR-199a-3p mimic activated Rab8a by directly inhibiting PAK4 expression. Conclusion The novel finding of this study is that MiR-199a-3p participated in the regulation of SAP secretion and the inflammatory process via targeting of PAK4/Rab8a, and is a potential therapeutic candidate for ARDS treatment.

Abstract
Cervical cancer (CC) is a gynecological cancer, which has become the second malignant tumor with mortality in developing countries. The purpose of current study was to explore the influence of Circular RNA 0001823 (circ_0001823) in the CC development. Thirty CC tissues and paracancerous tissues were obtained, and Hela and CaSki CC cells were purchased for this study. The cell growth was analyzed by CCK-8 and colony formation assays. The cell metastasis was determined with Transwell assay. The circ_0001823, miR-613, and RAB8A expression were analyzed with qRT-PCR analysis. The specific mechanisms of circRNA_0001823 were analyzed by Dual luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. The circ_0001823 and RAB8A expressions were increased, and miR-613 were decreased in the CC cells and tissues. Knockdown of circ_0001823 inhibited the malignant behavior of the CC cells, which was antagonized by miR-613 inhibitor. Over-expressed RAB8A reversed the miR-613 effects in the CC cells. Knockdown of circ_0001823 inhibited the malignant behaviors of the CC cells via regulating the miR-613/RAB8A axis.

Abstract
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a complicated clinical process, and metabolic disorders during pregnancy are closely related to the structure and function of the placenta. The aberrant expression of miRNAs in the placenta may play a role in the occurrence and development of GDM. Analysis of microRNA (miRNA) expression signature in placenta showed that the level of miR-30d-5p was significantly down-regulated in GDM patients. This study aims to explore the possible mechanism of GDM under the regulation of miR-30d-5p. In situ hybridization and qRT-PCR assay showed that miR-30d expression down-regulated in the placentas from GDM patients compared with normal control group. The trophoblast cells proliferation and glucose uptake capacity were increased, the ability of migration and invasion were also improved after inhibiting the function of endogenous mature miR-30d-5p. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assays showed that miR-30d-5p binds to the 3'UTR of RAB8A mRNA, resulting in RAB8A suppression. Moreover, the down-regulation of RAB8A could attenuate the increase in trophoblast cell proliferation, migration, invasion and glucose uptake induced by miR-30d-5p functional inhibitor. These data imply that miR-30d-5p expression is down-regulated in placental tissue from GDM patients and affects trophoblast cell functions by targeting RAB8A, which may provide new insight into the pathogenesis of GDM.

Abstract
Mutations in the gene encoding for leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are a common cause of hereditary Parkinson's disease. LRRK2 regulates various intracellular vesicular trafficking pathways, including endolysosomal degradative events such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) degradation. Recent studies have revealed that a subset of RAB proteins involved in secretory and endocytic recycling are LRRK2 kinase substrates in vivo. However, the effects of LRRK2-mediated phosphorylation of these substrates on membrane trafficking remain unknown. Here, using an array of immunofluorescence and pulldown assays, we report that expression of active or phosphodeficient RAB8A variants rescues the G2019S LRRK2–mediated effects on endolysosomal membrane trafficking. Similarly, up-regulation of the RAB11–Rabin8–RAB8A cascade, which activates RAB8A, also reverted these trafficking deficits. Loss of RAB8A mimicked the effects of G2019S LRRK2 on endolysosomal trafficking and decreased RAB7A activity. Expression of pathogenic G2019S LRRK2 or loss of RAB8A interfered with EGFR degradation by causing its accumulation in a RAB4-positive endocytic compartment, which was accompanied by a deficit in EGFR recycling and was rescued upon expression of active RAB7A. Dominant-negative RAB7A expression resulted in similar deficits in EGF degradation, accumulation in a RAB4 compartment, and deficits in EGFR recycling, which were all rescued upon expression of active RAB8A. Taken together, these findings suggest that, by impairing RAB8A function, pathogenic G2019S LRRK2 deregulates endolysosomal transport and endocytic recycling events.

Abstract
Mutations in the LRRK2 gene cause autosomal-dominant Parkinson’s disease (PD), and both LRRK2 as well as RAB7L1 have been implicated in increased susceptibility to idiopathic PD. RAB7L1 has been shown to increase membrane-association and kinase activity of LRRK2, and both seem to be mechanistically implicated in the same pathway. Another RAB protein, RAB8A, has been identified as a prominent LRRK2 kinase substrate, and our recent work demonstrates that aberrant LRRK2-mediated phosphorylation of RAB8A leads to centrosomal alterations. Here, we show that RAB7L1 recruits LRRK2 to the Golgi complex, which causes accumulation of phosphorylated RAB8A in a pericentrosomal/centrosomal location as well as centrosomal deficits identical to those observed with pathogenic LRRK2. The centrosomal alterations induced by wildtype LRRK2 in the presence of RAB7L1 depend on Golgi integrity. This is in contrast to pathogenic LRRK2 mutants, which cause centrosomal deficits independent of Golgi integrity or largely independent on RAB7L1 expression. Furthermore, centrosomal alterations in the presence of wildtype LRRK2 and RAB7L1 are at least in part mediated by aberrant LRRK2-mediated RAB8A phosphorylation, as abolished by kinase inhibitors and reduced upon knockdown of RAB8A. These results indicate that pathogenic LRRK2, as well as increased levels of RAB7L1, cause centrosomal deficits in a manner dependent on aberrant RAB8A phosphorylation and centrosomal/pericentrosomal accumulation, suggesting that centrosomal cohesion deficits may comprise a useful cellular readout for a broader spectrum of the disease.
