Abstract
BACKGROUND Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have risen to prominence as important regulators of biological processes. This study investigated whether circGNB1 functions as a competitive endogenous RNA to regulate the pathological process of oxidative stress in age-related osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS The relationship between circGNB1 expression and oxidative stress/OA severity was determined in cartilages from OA patients at different ages. The biological roles of circGNB1 in oxidative stress and OA progression, and its downstream targets were determined using gain- and loss-of-function experiments in various biochemical assays in human chondrocytes (HCs). The in vivo effects of circGNB1 overexpression and knockdown were also determined using a destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) mouse model. RESULTS Increased circGNB1 expression was detected in HCs under oxidative and inflammatory stress and in the cartilage of older individuals. Mechanistically, circGNB1 sponged miR-152-3p and thus blocked its interaction with its downstream mRNA target, ring finger protein 219 (RNF219), which in turn stabilized caveolin-1 (CAV1) by preventing its ubiquitination at the K47 residue. CircGNB1 inhibited IL-10 signalling by antagonizing miR-152-3p-mediated RNF219 and CAV1 inhibition. Consequently, circGNB1 overexpression promoted OA progression by enhancing catabolic factor expression and oxidative stress and by suppressing anabolic genes in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, circGNB1 knockdown alleviated the severity of OA, whereas circGNB1 overexpression had the opposite effect in a DMM mouse model of OA. CONCLUSION CircGNB1 regulated oxidative stress and OA progression via the miR-152-3p/RNF219/CAV1 axis. Modulating circGNB1 could be an effective strategy for treating OA.

Abstract
The incidence of bone metastases in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has increased prominently over the past decade owing to the prolonged overall survival of HCC patients. However, the mechanisms underlying HCC bone-metastasis remain largely unknown. In the current study, HCC-secreted lectin galactoside-binding soluble 3 (LGALS3) is found to be significantly upregulated and correlates with shorter bone-metastasis-free survival of HCC patients. Overexpression of LGALS3 enhances the metastatic capability of HCC cells to bone and induces skeletal-related events by forming a bone pre-metastatic niche via promoting osteoclast fusion and podosome formation. Mechanically, ubiquitin ligaseRNF219-meidated α-catenin degradation prompts YAP1/β-catenin complex-dependent epigenetic modifications of LGALS3 promoter, resulting in LGALS3 upregulation and metastatic bone diseases. Importantly, treatment with verteporfin, a clinical drug for macular degeneration, decreases LGALS3 expression and effectively inhibits skeletal complications of HCC. These findings unveil a plausible role for HCC-secreted LGALS3 in pre-metastatic niche and can suggest a promising strategy for clinical intervention in HCC bone-metastasis.

Abstract
Regulation of RNA stability plays a crucial role in gene expression control. Deadenylation is the initial rate-limiting step for the majority of RNA decay events. Here, we show that RING finger protein 219 (RNF219) interacts with the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex. RNF219-CCR4-NOT exhibits deadenylation activity in vitro. RNA-seq analyses identify some of the 2-cell-specific genes and the neuronal genes significantly downregulated upon RNF219 knockdown, while upregulated after depletion of the CCR4-NOT subunit CNOT10 in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. RNF219 depletion leads to impaired neuronal lineage commitment during ES cell differentiation. Our study suggests that RNF219 is a novel interacting partner of CCR4-NOT and required for maintenance of ES cell pluripotency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ring finger protein 219 (RNF219), a protein containing the C3 HC4 -type RING-HC motif, has been identified as a binding partner of the histone deacetylase sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). To explore the functions of RNF219, we examined its possible roles in the cellular responses to inflammation. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Effects of RNF219 on SIRT1 were studied in vitro using RAW264.7 cells and in male BALB/c mice, treated with LPS or IFN-γ. Western blots, RT-PCR, co-immunoprecipitation and ubiquitination assays were used, along with LC-MS/MS analysis. In vivo, survival and serum cytokines and tissue levels of RNF219 and SIRT1 were measured. KEY RESULTS Binding of RNF219 to SIRT1 inhibited degradation of SIRT1 by preventing its ubiquitination, thereby prolonging SIRT1-mediated anti-inflammatory signalling. LPS caused RNF219 deacetylation, leading to instability of RNF219 and preventing its association with SIRT1. Accordingly, the acetylation status of RNF219 is a critical determinant in its interaction with SIRT1, affecting the response to inflammatory stimuli. The deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A, increased acetylation and stability of RNF219 and survival of mice injected with LPS, through the interaction of RNF219 with SIRT1. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS RNF219 is involved in a novel mechanism to stabilize SIRT1 protein by protein-protein interaction, leading to the resolution of cellular inflammation. These observations provide new insights into the function of RNF219 in modulation of cellular inflammation, and may aid and encourage the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
The risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with the presence of the 𝜀4 allele of Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene and, recently, with a novel genetic variant of the RNF219 gene. This study aimed at evaluating interactions between APOE-𝜀4 and RNF219/G variants in the modulation of behavioral and cognitive features of two cohorts of patients suffering from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or AD. We enrolled a total of 173 female MCI or AD patients (83 MCI; 90 AD). Subjects were screened with a comprehensive set of neuropsychological evaluations and genotyped for the APOE and RNF219 polymorphic variants. Analysis of covariance was performed to assess the main and interaction effects of APOE and RNF219 genotypes on the cognitive and behavioral scores. The analysis revealed that the simultaneous presence of APOE-𝜀4 and RNF219/G variants results in significant effects on specific neuropsychiatric scores in MCI and AD patients. In MCI patients, RNF219 and APOE variants worked together to impact the levels of anxiety negatively. Similarly, in AD patients, the RNF219 variants were found to be associated with increased anxiety levels. Our data indicate a novel synergistic activity APOE and RNF219 in the modulation of behavioral traits of female MCI and AD patients.
