    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Microtubule-stabilizing and -destabilizing proteins play a crucial role in regulating the dynamic instability of microtubules during neuronal development and synaptic transmission. The microtubule-destabilizing protein SCG10 is a neuron-specific protein implicated in neurite outgrowth. The SCG10 protein is significantly reduced in mature neurons, suggesting that its expression is developmentally regulated. In contrast, the microtubule-stabilizing protein tau is expressed in mature neurons and its function is essential for the maintenance of neuronal polarity and neuronal survival. Thus, the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity may down-regulate the protein level/function of SCG10. In this report, we show that treatment of PC12 cells and neuroblastoma cells with the microtubule-stabilizing drug Taxol induced a rapid degradation of the SCG10 protein. Consistently, overexpression of tau protein in neuroblastoma cells also induced a reduction in SCG10 protein levels. Calpain inhibitor MDL-28170, but not caspase inhibitors, blocked a significant decrease in SCG10 protein levels. Collectively, these results indicate that tau overexpression and Taxol treatment induced a calpain-dependent degradation of the microtubule-destabilizing protein SCG10. The results provide evidence for the existence of an intracellular mechanism involved in the regulation of SCG10 upon microtubule stabilization.
    背景与目标: :微管稳定蛋白和去稳定蛋白在调节神经元发育和突触传递过程中微管的动态不稳定性中起关键作用。破坏微管的蛋白SCG10是神经元特异性蛋白,与神经突增生有关。 SCG10蛋白在成熟神经元中显着减少,表明其表达受到发育调节。相反,微管稳定蛋白tau在成熟的神经元中表达,其功能对于维持神经元极性和神经元存活至关重要。因此,神经元极性的建立和维持可能下调SCG10的蛋白质水平/功能。在本报告中,我们显示了用微管稳定药物紫杉醇治疗PC12细胞和成神经细胞瘤细胞会诱导SCG10蛋白快速降解。一致地,神经母细胞瘤细胞中tau蛋白的过表达也诱导了SCG10蛋白水平的降低。钙蛋白酶抑制剂MDL-28170而非caspase抑制剂阻止了SCG10蛋白水平的显着降低。总的来说,这些结果表明tau的过度表达和紫杉酚的处理诱导了钙蛋白酶依赖性降解的微管去稳定蛋白SCG10。结果提供了微管稳定后SCG10调控中涉及的细胞内机制的存在的证据。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: AIMS:Reduced forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) have been associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. However, whether reduced lung function is also a risk factor for incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is still unclear. We aimed to determine whether lung function predicted AF in the Malmö Preventive Project, a large population-based cohort with a long follow-up. METHODS AND RESULTS:The study population consisted of 7674 women and 21 070 men, mean age 44.6 years. The cohort was followed on average for 24.8 years, during which time 2669 patients were hospitalized due to AF. The incidence of AF in relationship to quartiles of FEV1 and FVC and per litre decrease at baseline was determined using a Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for age, height, weight, current smoking status, systolic blood pressure, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and fasting blood glucose. Forced expiratory volume in one second was inversely related to incidence of AF (per litre reduction in FEV1) hazard ratio (HR): 1.39 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.16-1.68; P = 0.001] for women, and HR: 1.20 (95% CI: 1.13-1.29; P < 0.0001) for men. Forced vital capacity was also inversely related to incidence of AF (per litre reduction in FVC) HR: 1.20 (95% CI: 1.03-1.41; P = 0.020) for women, and HR: 1.08 (95% CI: 1.02-1.14; P = 0.01) for men. This relationship was consistent in non-smokers as well as smokers, and among individuals younger than the median age of 45.8 years or normotensive subjects. CONCLUSION:Impaired lung function is an independent predictor of AF. This may explain some risk of AF that is currently unaccounted for.
    背景与目标: 目的:一秒钟内减少强制呼气量(FEV1)和强制肺活量(FVC)与心血管疾病的发病率增加相关。但是,肺功能下降是否也是心房颤动(AF)发生的危险因素仍不清楚。我们旨在确定在马尔默预防项目中,肺功能是否能预测房颤,该项目是一项以人群为基础的大型队列研究,需要长期随访。
    方法与结果:研究人群为7674名女性和21 070名男性,平均年龄44.6岁。该队列平均随访了24.8年,在此期间有2669例因AF住院的患者。使用针对年龄,身高,体重,当前吸烟状况,收缩压,红细胞沉降率和空腹血糖调整的Cox比例风险模型,确定与FEV1和FVC四分位数相关的房颤发生率以及基线时每升的下降。一秒钟的强制呼气量与房颤的发生率(每升FEV1减少)成反比(HR):1.39 [95%置信区间(CI):1.16-1.68; P = 0.001](女性)和HR:1.20(95%CI:1.13-1.29; P <0.0001)。强迫肺活量也与AF的发生率成反比(女性每升FVC降低)HR:女性HR:1.20(95%CI:1.03-1.41; P = 0.020); HR:1.08(95%CI:1.02-1.14); P = 0.01)。在非吸烟者和吸烟者中,以及年龄中位数为45.8岁以下或血压正常的受试者之间,这种关系是一致的。
    结论:肺功能受损是房颤的独立预测因子。这可以解释目前尚无法解决的房颤风险。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The investigational drugs E7820, indisulam and tasisulam (aryl-sulfonamides) promote the degradation of the splicing factor RBM39 in a proteasome-dependent mechanism. While the activity critically depends on the cullin RING ligase substrate receptor DCAF15, the molecular details remain elusive. Here we present the cryo-EM structure of the DDB1-DCAF15-DDA1 core ligase complex bound to RBM39 and E7820 at a resolution of 4.4 Å, together with crystal structures of engineered subcomplexes. We show that DCAF15 adopts a new fold stabilized by DDA1, and that extensive protein-protein contacts between the ligase and substrate mitigate low affinity interactions between aryl-sulfonamides and DCAF15. Our data demonstrate how aryl-sulfonamides neo-functionalize a shallow, non-conserved pocket on DCAF15 to selectively bind and degrade RBM39 and the closely related splicing factor RBM23 without the requirement for a high-affinity ligand, which has broad implications for the de novo discovery of molecular glue degraders.
    背景与目标: :研究用药物E7820,靛蓝和tasisulam(芳基磺酰胺类)以蛋白酶体依赖性机制促进剪接因子RBM39的降解。尽管活性主要取决于cullin RING连接酶底物受体DCAF15,但分子的细节仍然难以捉摸。在这里,我们介绍了DBM1-DCAF15-DDA1核心连接酶复合物以BM4.4的分辨率与RBM39和E7820结合的低温电磁结构,以及工程化的复合物的晶体结构。我们显示,DCAF15采用DDA1稳定的新折叠,并且连接酶和底物之间广泛的蛋白质接触减少了芳基磺酰胺与DCAF15之间的低亲和力相互作用。我们的数据表明,芳基磺酰胺如何在DCAF15上新功能化一个浅的,非保守的口袋,以选择性结合并降解RBM39和紧密相关的剪接因子RBM23,而无需高亲和力配体,这对从头开始具有广泛的意义。分子胶降解剂的发现。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Degradation of endothelial glycocalyx (EG) is associated with inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, which may contribute to the development of acute kidney injury (AKI). We investigated the association between a marker of EG degradation and AKI after valvular heart surgery. Serum syndecan-1 concentrations were measured at induction of anesthesia and discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass in 250 patients. Severe AKI was defined as Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Criteria Stage 2 or 3. Severe AKI occurred in 13 patients (5%). Receiver operating characteristic analysis of preoperative syndecan-1 to predict severe AKI showed area under curve of 0.714 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.575-0.853; p = 0.009). The optimal cut-off value was 90 ng/mL, with a sensitivity of 61.5% and specificity of 78.5%. In multivariable analysis, both preoperative syndecan-1 ≥ 90 ng/mL and Cleveland Clinic Foundation score independently predicted severe AKI. Severe tricuspid regurgitation was more frequent (42.4% vs. 17.8%, p < 0.001), and baseline right ventricular systolic pressure (41 (33-51) mmHg vs. 33 (27-43) mmHg, p = 0.001) and TNF-α (1.85 (1.37-2.43) pg/mL vs. 1.45 (1.14-1.92) pg/mL, p <0.001) were higher in patients with high preoperative syndecan-1. Patients with high preoperative syndecan-1 had longer hospital stay (16 (12-24) days vs. 13 (11-17) days, p = 0.001). In conclusion, a high preoperative syndecan-1 concentration greater than 90 ng/mL was able to predict severe AKI after valvular heart surgery and was associated with prolonged hospitalization.
    背景与目标: :内皮糖萼(EG)的降解与炎症和内皮功能障碍有关,这可能有助于急性肾损伤(AKI)的发展。我们研究了心脏瓣膜手术后EG降解标志物与AKI之间的关联。在250例患者中,在诱导麻醉和停止体外循环时测量了血清syndecan-1的浓度。严重的AKI被定义为肾脏疾病:改善第2阶段或第3阶段的总体结果标准。严重的AKI发生在13例患者中(5%)。术前syndecan-1的接受者操作特征分析可预测严重AKI,显示曲线下面积为0.714(95%置信区间(CI),0.575-0.853; p = 0.009)。最佳临界值为90 ng / mL,灵敏度为61.5%,特异性为78.5%。在多变量分析中,术前syndecan-1≥90 ng / mL和Cleveland Clinic Foundation评分均独立预测严重AKI。严重的三尖瓣关闭不全更为频繁(42.4%vs. 17.8%,p <0.001),基线右室收缩压(41(33-51)mmHg vs. 33(27-43)mmHg,p = 0.001)和TNF-具有高术前syndecan-1的患者的α(1.85(1.37-2.43)pg / mL与1.45(1.14-1.92)pg / mL,p <0.001)更高。术前Syndecan-1高的患者住院时间更长(16(12-24)天,而13(11-17)天,p = 0.001)。总之,术前高浓度syndecan-1大于90 ng / mL能够预测心脏瓣膜手术后的严重AKI并与长期住院相关。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: Lp(a) is an important contributing factor to the development of atherosclerosis, and in structure is similar to LDL. Given the central role of the LDL receptor (LDL-R) in the metabolism of LDL, we felt that a study of the binding and degradation of Lp(a) facilitated by the LDL-R of human monocyte derived macrophages (HMDM) would be of value in understanding its pathological nature. In this study we compared equimolar amounts of Lp(a) and LDL and found that nearly equal amounts of Lp(a) and LDL bound to the LDL-R of HMDM at 4 degrees C, however the affinity of both lipoproteins was much lower than has been observed for the LDL-R of fibroblasts, being 0.80 muM for Lp(a) and 0.23 muM for LDL. The binding of Lp(a) to HMDM could be competed by 63% with a 50-fold excess of LDL. Degradation of Lp(a) at 37 degree C, unlike 4 degrees C binding, was mainly nonspecific (75% of total Lp(a) degradation) and when compared on an equimolar basis, nearly 6 times more LDL than Lp(a) was processed by the LDL-R pathway in 5 hr. Lower degradation of Lp(a) appears to be the result of lower binding at 37 degree C and a lower degradation rate when compared to LDL. It was not caused by increased intracellular accumulation or retroendocytosis. Degradation of both lipoproteins was only modestly affected by up and down regulation of the LDL-R. Because the binding of LDL at 4 degrees C and degradation at 37 degree C is mainly LDL-R specific, whereas only the 4 degree C binding of Lp(a) is so, suggests that the poor LDL-R dependent degradation of Lp(a) at 37 degree C is caused by a conformational change that is inducted in Lp(a) upon lowering the temperature to 4 degree C which allows better recognition of Lp(a) by the HMDM LDL-R.

    背景与目标: Lp(a)是导致动脉粥样硬化发展的重要因素,其结构类似于LDL。鉴于LDL受体(LDL-R)在LDL代谢中的核心作用,我们认为对人类单核细胞衍生巨噬细胞(HMDM)的LDL-R促进Lp(a)结合和降解的研究将是了解其病理本质的价值。在这项研究中,我们比较了等摩尔量的Lp(a)和LDL,发现在4摄氏度下,几乎等量的Lp(a)和LDL与HMDM的LDL-R结合,但是两种脂蛋白的亲和力都远低于已经观察到成纤维细胞的LDL-R,Lp(a)为0.80μM,LDL为0.23μM。 Lp(a)与HMDM的结合可以与63%的LDL竞争50%。与4摄氏度的结合不同,Lp(a)在37摄氏度下的降解主要是非特异性的(占总Lp(a)降解的75%),当以等摩尔量进行比较时,其LDL比Lp(a)高近6倍在5小时内被LDL-R途径处理。与LDL相比,Lp(a)的较低降解似乎是在37摄氏度下较低的结合力和较低的降解速率的结果。它不是由增加的细胞内积累或内吞作用引起的。两种脂蛋白的降解仅受LDL-R上调和下调的影响。因为LDL在4摄氏度的结合和37摄氏度的降解主要是LDL-R特异性的,而Lp(a)的4摄氏度的结合是LDL-R特异性的,这表明Lp(a)依赖LDL-R的降解较差)在37摄氏度时是由于将温度降低到4摄氏度时在Lp(a)中引起的构象变化而引起的,这使得HMDM LDL-R可以更好地识别Lp(a)。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha) is the master regulator of the cellular response to hypoxia. A key regulator of HIF-1alpha is von Hippel-Lindau protein (pVHL), which mediates the oxygen-dependent, proteasomal degradation of HIF-1alpha in normoxia. Here, we describe a new regulator of HIF-1alpha, the hypoxia-associated factor (HAF), a novel E3-ubiquitin ligase that binds HIF-1alpha leading to its proteasome-dependent degradation irrespective of cellular oxygen tension. HAF, a protein expressed in proliferating cells, binds and ubiquitinates HIF-1alpha in vitro, and both binding and E3 ligase activity are mediated by HAF amino acids 654 to 800. Furthermore, HAF overexpression decreases HIF-1alpha levels in normoxia and hypoxia in both pVHL-competent and -deficient cells, whereas HAF knockdown increases HIF-1alpha levels in normoxia, hypoxia, and under epidermal growth factor stimulation. In contrast, HIF-2alpha is not regulated by HAF. In vivo, tumor xenografts from cells overexpressing HAF show decreased levels of HIF-1alpha accompanied by decreased tumor growth and angiogenesis. Therefore, HAF is the key mediator of a new HIF-1alpha-specific degradation pathway that degrades HIF-1alpha through a new, oxygen-independent mechanism.
    背景与目标: :缺氧诱导因子1alpha(HIF-1alpha)是细胞对缺氧反应的主要调节因子。 HIF-1alpha的关键调控因子是von Hippel-Lindau蛋白(pVHL),它介导常氧条件下HIF-1alpha的氧依赖性蛋白酶体降解。在这里,我们描述了一种新的HIF-1alpha调节因子,缺氧相关因子(HAF),一种新型的E3-泛素连接酶,它结合HIF-1alpha导致其蛋白酶体依赖性降解,而与细胞氧张力无关。 HAF是一种在增殖细胞中表达的蛋白质,在体外结合并泛素化HIF-1alpha,结合和E3连接酶活性均由HAF氨基酸654-800介导。此外,HAF的过表达降低了正常氧和低氧状态下HIF-1alpha的水平。具有pVHL能力的细胞和缺陷型细胞,而HAF敲低会增加常氧,低氧和表皮生长因子刺激下的HIF-1alpha水平。相反,HIF-2alpha不受HAF调控。在体内,来自过表达HAF的细胞的异种移植物显示HIF-1alpha的水平降低,并伴随着肿瘤的生长和血管生成的降低。因此,HAF是新的HIF-1alpha特异性降解途径的关键介体,该途径通过新的,与氧无关的机制降解HIF-1alpha。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Renewable fuels have gained importance as the world moves toward diversifying its energy portfolio. A critical step in the biomass-to-bioenergy initiative is deconstruction of plant cell wall polysaccharides to their unit sugars for subsequent fermentation to fuels. To acquire carbon and energy for their metabolic processes, diverse microorganisms have evolved genes encoding enzymes that depolymerize polysaccharides to their carbon/energy-rich building blocks. The microbial enzymes mostly target the energy present in cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin, three major forms of energy storage in plants. In the effort to develop bioenergy as an alternative to fossil fuel, a common strategy is to harness microbial enzymes to hydrolyze cellulose to glucose for fermentation to fuels. However, the conversion of plant biomass to renewable fuels will require both cellulose and hemicellulose, the two largest components of the plant cell wall, as feedstock to improve economic feasibility. Here, we explore the enzymes and strategies evolved by two well-studied bacteria to depolymerize the hemicelluloses xylan/arabinoxylan and mannan. The sets of enzymes, in addition to their applications in biofuels and value-added chemical production, have utility in animal feed enzymes, a rapidly developing industry with potential to minimize adverse impacts of animal agriculture on the environment.
    背景与目标: :随着世界朝着多样化能源组合的方向发展,可再生燃料变得越来越重要。生物质转化为生物能的关键步骤是将植物细胞壁多糖解构成其单位糖,然后发酵为燃料。为了获得碳和能量用于其代谢过程,各种各样的微生物已经进化出了编码酶的基因,该酶将多糖解聚成其碳/能量丰富的结构单元。微生物酶主要针对纤维素,半纤维素和果胶中存在的能量,这是植物中能量存储的三种主要形式。在努力开发生物能源替代化石燃料方面,一种常见的策略是利用微生物酶将纤维素水解为葡萄糖,然后发酵为燃料。然而,植物生物质向可再生燃料的转化将需要纤维素和半纤维素(植物细胞壁的两个最大成分)作为原料,以提高经济可行性。在这里,我们探索由两种经过充分研究的细菌进化出的酶和策略,以使半纤维素木聚糖/阿拉伯木聚糖和甘露聚糖解聚。这套酶除了在生物燃料和增值化学产品中的应用外,还可以在动物饲料酶中使用。动物饲料酶是一个快速发展的行业,具有将动物农业对环境的不利影响降至最低的潜力。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Topoisomerase II (TOP2)-targeting anticancer chemotherapeutic drugs, termed TOP2 poisons, are widely used and effective in the clinic by stabilizing TOP2-DNA covalent complexes to induce DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and ultimately, cause cell death. The stabilized TOP2-DNA complex is known to be degraded by proteasome, whereas the underlying mechanism for instant TOP2β degradation in response to TOP2 poisons and the subsequent biological consequence remain elusive. Here, we reported that TOP2 poison-induced TOP2β degradation is mediated by SCFβ-TrCP ubiquitin ligase. Specifically, DNA damage signal, triggered by teniposide (VM-26) treatment, activates ATM, cooperating with CK1 to phosphorylate TOP2β on Ser1134 and Ser1130, respectively, in a canonical degron motif to facilitate β-TrCP binding and subsequent degradation. Inactivation of ATM, CK1 or SCFβ-TrCP by small molecular inhibitors or genetic knockdown/knockout abrogates TOP2β degradation. Biologically, blockage of TOP2β degradation in combination with VM-26 treatment impairs DNA damage response and repair, leading to an accelerated cell death via apoptosis. Thus, it appears that TOP2β degradation is a cellular defensive mechanism to facilitate the exposure of DSBs to trigger DNA damage response and repair. Collectively, our findings reveal a new strategy to improve the efficacy of TOP2 poisons in combination with small-molecule inhibitors against TOP2β degradation.
    背景与目标: 靶向拓扑异构酶II(TOP2)的抗癌化学治疗药物,称为TOP2毒物,通过稳定TOP2-DNA共价复合物诱导DNA双链断裂(DSB)并最终导致细胞死亡,在临床上得到了广泛使用和有效。已知稳定的TOP2-DNA复合物可被蛋白酶体降解,而响应TOP2毒物而引起的即时TOP2β降解的基本机制以及随后的生物学后果仍然难以捉摸。在这里,我们报道了TOP2毒物诱导的TOP2β降解是由SCFβ-TrCP泛素连接酶介导的。具体而言,由替尼泊苷(VM-26)处理触发的DNA损伤信号激活ATM,与CK1协同作用以规范化的德格伦基序磷酸化Ser1134和Ser1130上的TOP2β,以促进β-TrCP结合和随后的降解。小分子抑制剂使ATM,CK1或SCFβ-TrCP失活或基因敲除/敲除消除了TOP2β的降解。从生物学上讲,TOP2β降解的阻断与VM-26治疗相结合会损害DNA损伤反应和修复,从而导致细胞通过凋亡加速死亡。因此,看来TOP2β降解是促进DSB暴露以触发DNA损伤反应和修复的细胞防御机制。总体而言,我们的发现揭示了一种新的策略,可与小分子抑制剂联合使用以提高TOP2毒物的功效,以对抗TOP2β降解。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Autophagy is a key event in cellular recycling processes due to its involvement in the intracellular degradation of proteins. It has been demonstrated that S-1-propenylcysteine (S1PC), a characteristic sulfur compound in aged garlic extract, induces the activation of autophagy. S1PC degrades the adaptor protein myeloid differentiation response protein 88 (MyD88) of downstream of Toll-like receptor (TLR) by activating autophagy in vitro and in vivo. The degradation of MyD88 inhibits the TLR signaling pathway, including the phosphorylation of interleukin 1 receptor associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) and nuclear factor (NF)-κB p65 in vitro, and eventually leads to the inhibition of interleukin (IL)-6 production in vitro and C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (Ccl2) mRNA expression in vivo. S1PC also increases the level of intestinal immunoglobulin A (IgA) and the number of IgA-producing cells in Peyer's patches in vivo. In addition, S1PC triggers the mRNA expression of X-box binding protein 1 (Xbp1), an inducer of IgA-producing cell differentiation via the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 and the degradation of paired box protein 5 (Pax5), a suppressor of Xbp1 mRNA expression. The present review summarizes the mechanisms through which the activation of autophagy by S1PC modulates the immune response.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The c-fos proto-oncogene provides a good system to study the processes underlying messenger RNA degradation. After growth factor stimulation of susceptible cells, the c-fos transcription rate transiently increases from a low basal level by as much as 50-fold, producing a large amount of exceedingly unstable c-fos mRNA that is rapidly degraded. Here, we investigate the c-fos mRNA degradation process, and find that: (1) ongoing translation of the c-fos mRNA itself is required for its degradation; (2) after synthesis, the mRNA poly(A) tail is rapidly removed, in a translation-dependent manner, leading to accumulation of apparently deadenylated RNA; (3) deletion or replacement of an AU-rich sequence at the mRNA 3' end significantly stabilizes the mRNA; (4) deletion of the 3' AU-rich sequences dramatically slows the poly(A) shortening rate. These results suggest that the 3' AU-rich sequences act to destabilize the mRNA by directing rapid removal of the mRNA poly(A) tract.
    背景与目标: :c-fos原癌基因提供了一个很好的系统来研究信使RNA降解的基础过程。在易感细胞的生长因子刺激后,c-fos转录速率从低基础水平瞬时增加了多达50倍,从而产生了大量极其不稳定的c-fos mRNA,并迅速降解。在这里,我们研究了c-fos mRNA的降解过程,发现:(1)c-fos mRNA本身的持续翻译对其降解是必需的; (2)合成后,以翻译依赖性方式快速去除mRNA poly(A)尾巴,导致明显的去腺苷酸化RNA积累。 (3)在mRNA 3'末端缺失或替换富含AU的序列可显着稳定mRNA; (4)删除富含3'AU的序列会大大减慢poly(A)的缩短速度。这些结果表明,富含3'AU的序列通过指导快速去除mRNA poly(A)束而使mRNA不稳定。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. Unfortunately, chemo-resistance is a huge obstacle in the treatment of OS. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of OS chemo-resistance still remain unknown. Here we reported that the resistance to camptothecin (cpt) therapy was driven by degradation of DDX5. DDX5 knockdown decreased cell death and DNA damage and recovered cell proliferation in cpt treated 143B cells. Furthermore, we found that DDX5 bound to NONO, a kind of DNA repairing protein, and regulated NONO functions. Our data verified that cpt-induced degradation of DDX5 following by breaking down the protein bound of NONO, which participated in the resistance of cpt. In the summary, according to our results, DDX5 might be a potential therapeutic target for improving clinical outcomes of cpt in OS.
    背景与目标: :骨肉瘤(OS)是儿童和青少年中最常见的原发性恶性骨肿瘤。不幸的是,耐化学性是OS治疗的巨大障碍。但是,OS化学抗性的潜在分子机制仍然是未知的。在这里,我们报道了喜树碱(cpt)治疗的耐药性是由DDX5降解引起的。 DDX5组合物降低了cpt处理的143B细胞的细胞死亡和DNA损伤,并恢复了细胞增殖。此外,我们发现DDX5与NONO(一种DNA修复蛋白)结合,并调节NONO功能。我们的数据证实了cpt诱导的DDX5降解是通过破坏NONO的蛋白质结合而引起的,NONO参与了cpt的抗性。总之,根据我们的结果,DDX5可能是改善OS中cpt临床结果的潜在治疗靶标。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Retinopathy of prematurity is a major cause of childhood blindness worldwide. Hence, exploring the proper treatment methods is a must in tacking this disease. qRT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the expression of genes and proteins, respectively. The proliferation of human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HRECs) was ensured by MTT assay. The luciferase activity was measured through luciferase assay. The inverted phase-contrast light microscope was used to observe the formation of a vascular tube. In the present study, our data demonstrated that circPDE4B was downregulated, while hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and VEGFA were upregulated in the retinopathy of prematurity model in vitro and in vivo. CircPDE4B increasing remarkably inhibited the expression of HIF-1α and VEGFA in hypoxia-induced HRECs and subsequent repressed cell proliferation and pathological angiogenesis. We further found that miR-181c suppressed the expression of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL), while circPDE4B could promote VHL expression via binding to miR-181c. Finally, our results revealed that circPDE4B inhibited the expression of VEGFA and pathological angiogenesis via facilitating VHL-mediated ubiquitin degradation of HIF-1α. In conclusion, circPDE4B suppressed the expression of VEGFA and pathological angiogenesis via promoting VHL-mediated ubiquitin degradation of HIF-1α through binding to miR-181c. Our study indicated that circPDE4B might be an effective therapeutic target of retinopathy of prematurity.
    背景与目标: :早产儿视网膜病变是全世界儿童失明的主要原因。因此,探索适当的治疗方法是应对这种疾病的必要条件。使用qRT-PCR和Western blot分别检测基因和蛋白质的表达。通过MTT测定确保人视网膜血管内皮细胞(HREC)的增殖。荧光素酶活性通过荧光素酶测定法测量。倒置相差光学显微镜用于观察血管的形成。在本研究中,我们的数据表明在早熟模型的视网膜病变中,体外和体内circPDE4B被下调,而缺氧诱导因子1α(HIF-1α)和VEGFA被上调。 CircPDE4B的增加显着抑制了缺氧诱导的HRECs中HIF-1α和VEGFA的表达,并随后抑制了细胞增殖和病理性血管生成。我们进一步发现miR-181c抑制了von Hippel-Lindau(VHL)的表达,而circPDE4B可以通过与miR-181c结合来促进VHL表达。最后,我们的结果表明,circPDE4B通过促进VHL介导的HIF-1α泛素降解来抑制VEGFA的表达和病理性血管生成。总之,circPDE4B通过与miR-181c结合促进VHL介导的HIF-1α泛素降解,从而抑制VEGFA的表达和病理性血管生成。我们的研究表明,circPDE4B可能是早产儿视网膜病变的有效治疗靶标。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Strontium (Sr)-doped calcium sulfate hemihydrate (SrCSH) bioactive materials have been demonstrated to promote osteoporotic bone repair, being associated with the stimulation of bone formation and a reduction in bone resorption. However, the rapid degradation and absorption of SrCSH affects its clinical value. In order to delay the degradation time of SrCSH and improve the utilization of Sr2+, chitosan (CS)-coated SrCSH microspheres (CS-SrCSH) are prepared by electrostatic interaction between CS and SrCSH. X-ray diffraction analysis verifies that SrCSH coated by CS does not alter the phase composition of the SrCSH. It was observed that CS-SrCSH microspheres have uniform particle size. More importantly, the in vivo and in vitro degradation time of CS-SrCSH microspheres is significantly longer than that of SrCSH, and the release rate of Sr2+ is stable, achieving a sustained release effect. Furthermore, CS-SrCSH-based cement is used to repair critical-sized OVX rat tibial defects. The in vivo results reveal that CS-SrCSH exhibits a long-term capability for osteogenesis, angiogenesis and bone metabolism inhibition. In conclusion, the controllable degradation of CS-SrCSH-based cements described here could be beneficial for the repair of bone defects, especially in the osteoporotic bone.
    背景与目标: 业已证实:掺锶(Sr)的半水合硫酸钙(SrCSH)生物活性材料可促进骨质疏松性骨修复,与刺激骨形成和减少骨吸收有关。但是,SrCSH的快速降解和吸收会影响其临床价值。为了延缓SrCSH的降解时间并提高Sr2的利用率,通过CS和SrCSH之间的静电相互作用制备了壳聚糖(CS)包覆的SrCSH微球(CS-SrCSH)。 X射线衍射分析验证了CS涂覆的SrCSH不会改变SrCSH的相组成。观察到CS-SrCSH微球具有均匀的粒径。更重要的是,CS-SrCSH微球的体内和体外降解时间明显长于SrCSH的降解时间,并且Sr2的释放速率稳定,达到了持续释放的效果。此外,基于CS-SrCSH的骨水泥用于修复OVX大鼠胫骨关键尺寸的缺损。体内结果表明,CS-SrCSH具有长期的成骨,血管生成和骨代谢抑制能力。总之,本文所述基于CS-SrCSH的胶结剂的可控降解​​可能有益于骨缺损的修复,尤其是在骨质疏松性骨中。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Pho85 cyclins (Pcls), activators of the yeast cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) Pho85, belong together with the p35 activator of mammalian CDK5 to a distinct structural cyclin class. Different Pcls target Pho85 to distinct substrates. Pcl5 targets Pho85 specifically to Gcn4, a yeast transcription factor involved in the response to amino acid starvation, eventually causing the degradation of Gcn4. Pcl5 is itself highly unstable, an instability that was postulated to be important for regulation of Gcn4 degradation. We used hybrids between different Pcls to circumscribe the substrate recognition function to the core cyclin box domain of Pcl5. Furthermore, the cyclin hybrids revealed that Pcl5 degradation is uniquely dependent on two distinct degradation signals: one N-terminal and one C-terminal to the cyclin box domain. Whereas the C-terminal degradation signal is independent of Pho85, the N-terminal degradation signal requires phosphorylation of a specific threonine residue by the Pho85 molecule bound to the cyclin. This latter mode of degradation depends on the SCF ubiquitin ligase. Degradation of Pcl5 after self-catalyzed phosphorylation ensures that activity of the Pho85/Pcl5 complex is self-limiting in vivo. We demonstrate the importance of this mechanism for the regulation of Gcn4 degradation and for cell growth under conditions of amino acid starvation.
    背景与目标: :Pho85细胞周期蛋白(Pcls)是酵母细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶(CDK)Pho85的激活剂,与哺乳动物CDK5的p35激活剂一起属于独特的结构细胞周期蛋白类别。不同的Pcls将Pho85靶向不同的底物。 Pcl5将Pho85特异性靶向Gcn4,Gcn4是参与对氨基酸饥饿反应的酵母转录因子,最终导致Gcn4降解。 Pcl5本身是高度不稳定的,据认为这种不稳定性对于调节Gcn4降解很重要。我们使用不同Pcls之间的杂合体将底物识别功能限制在Pcl5的核心细胞周期蛋白框结构域中。此外,细胞周期蛋白杂合体显示Pcl5降解唯一依赖于两个不同的降解信号:细胞周期蛋白盒结构域的一个N端和一个C端。尽管C末端降解信号独立于Pho85,但N末端降解信号需要结合到细胞周期蛋白上的Pho85分子使特定的苏氨酸残基磷酸化。后一种降解方式取决于SCF泛素连接酶。自催化磷酸化后Pcl5的降解可确保Pho85 / Pcl5复合物的活性在体内是自限性的。我们证明了这种机制对于调节Gcn4降解和氨基酸饥饿条件下细胞生长的重要性。
