<jats:p>Major depressive disorder is a frequent and debilitating psychiatric disease. We have shown in some of the acute animal models of major depressive disorder (tail suspension test and forced swim test) that depression-like behavior can be aggravated in mice by the microinjection into the medial prefrontal cortex of the P2X7R agonistic adenosine 5′-triphosphate or its structural analog dibenzoyl-ATP, and these effects can be reversed by the P2X7R antagonistic JNJ-47965567. When measuring tail suspension test, the prolongation of immobility time by the P2YR agonist adenosine 5′-[β-thio]diphosphate and the reduction of the adenosine 5′-(γ-thio)triphosphate effect by P2Y1R (MRS 2179) or P2Y12R (PSB 0739) antagonists, but not by JNJ-47965567, all suggest the involvement of P2YRs. In order to elucidate the localization of the modulatory P2X7Rs in the brain, we recorded current responses to dibenzoyl-ATP in layer V astrocytes and pyramidal neurons of medial prefrontal cortex brain slices by the whole-cell patch-clamp procedure; the current amplitudes were not altered in preparations taken from tail suspension test or foot shock-treated mice. The release of adenosine 5′-triphosphate was decreased by foot shock, although not by tail suspension test both in the hippocampus and PFC. In conclusion, we suggest, that in the medial prefrontal cortex, acute stressful stimuli cause supersensitivity of P2X7Rs facilitating the learned helplessness reaction.</jats:p>
摘要:
Ibrutinib is a BTK-targeted irreversible inhibitor. In this study, we demonstrate that ibrutinib potently inhibits SRC activity in a non-covalent manner via mass spectrometry and crystallography. The S345C mutation renders SRC to bind covalently with ibrutinib, and restores the potency of ibrutinib against the gatekeeper mutant. The co-crystal structure of ibrutinib/SRC shows Ser345 of SRC did not form covalent bond with ibrutinib, leading to a decrease of potency and loss of the ability to overcome the gatekeeper mutation of SRC. The X-ray crystallographic studies also provide structural insight into why ibrutinib behaves differently against gatekeeper mutants of different kinases.

摘要:
Von Willebrand Factor C and EGF Domains (VWCE) is an important gene that regulates cell adhesion, migration, and interaction. However, the correlation between VWCE expression and immune infiltrating in breast cancer remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the correlation between VWCE expression and immune infiltration levels in breast cancer. The expression of VWCE was analyzed by the tumor immune estimation resource (TIMER) and DriverDB databases. Furthermore, genes co-expressed with VWCE and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis were investigated by the STRING and Enrichr web servers. Also, we performed the single nucleotide variation (SNV), copy number variation (CNV), and pathway activity analysis through GSCALite. Subsequently, the relationship between VWCE expression and tumor immunity was analyzed by TIMER and TISIDB databases, and further verified the results using Quantitative Real-Time PCR (RT-PCR), Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. The results showed that the expression of VWCE mRNA in breast cancer tissue was significantly lower than that in normal tissues. We found that the expression level of VWCE was associated with subtypes, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) status of breast cancer patients, but there was no significant difference in the expression of VWCE was found in age and nodal status. Further analyses indicated that VWCE was correlated with the activation or inhibition of multiple oncogenic pathways. Additionally, VWCE expression was negatively correlated with the expression of STAT1 (Th1 marker, r = − 0.12, p = 6e−05), but positively correlated with the expression of MS4A4A (r = 0.28, p = 0). These results suggested that the expression of VWCE was correlated with immune infiltration levels of Th1 and M2 macrophage in breast cancer. In our study, VWCE expression was associated with a better prognosis and was immune infiltration in breast cancer. These findings demonstrate that VWCE is a potential prognostic biomarker and correlated with tumor immune cell infiltration, and maybe a promising therapeutic target in breast cancer.
摘要:
INTRODUCTION: Primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (GDLBCL) is a heterogeneous disease in clinicopathological features and prognosis. Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) and microRNA-34a (miR-34a) play crucial roles in GDLBCL progress. The purpose of this research is to explore the clinical significance of PD-L1 and miR-34a expression in GDLBCL. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The expressions of PD-L1 and miR-34a were examined by IHC and qRT-PCR in 109 patients who were diagnosed with GDLBCL and were treated with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, prednisone vincristine and prednisone chemotherapy (R-CHOP) from January 2010 to December 2018. RESULTS: PD-L1 level was significantly higher in tumor tissues than adjacent non-tumor tissues (60.5%, P<0.001), while the miR-34a level was just reversed (50.5%, P<0.001), which was negatively correlated (r=-0.524, P<0.001). Notably, PD-L1-positive and miR-34a-negative expressions were significantly correlated with the advanced Lugano stage of IIE-IV stage (P<0.001 and P<0.01), elevated serumal LDH levels (P<0.001 and P<0.05), B symptoms present (P<0.001 and P<0.001), non-GCB subtype (P<0.001 and P<0.001) and negative Bcl-2 expression (P<0.05 and P<0.001). PD-L1 high and miR-34a low expression groups had more patients with IPI scores of 2 or greater (P<0.001 and P<0.05) and poor R-IPI (P<0.01 and P<0.01). The complete response rate was upregulated in patients with negative PD-L1 and positive miR-34a expression after R-CHOP treatment. DISCUSSION: PD-L1 expression and miR-34a expression were significantly associated with clinicopathological characteristics and survival prognosis; they may serve as novel prognostic markers in GDLBCL patients who were treated with R-CHOP. Immunotherapies targeting PD-L1 and miR-34a pathway may have therapeutic potential in GDLBCL.
摘要:
Hypertriglyceridemia is a risk factor for a series of diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTLs) family, especially ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4 and ANGPTL8, which regulate lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, play pivotal roles in triglyceride (TG) metabolism and related diseases/complications. There are many transcriptional and post-transcriptional factors that participate in physiological and pathological regulation of ANGPTLs to affect triglyceride metabolism. This review is intended to focus on the similarity and difference in the expression, structural features, regulation profile of the three ANGPTLs and inhibitory models for LPL. Description of the regulatory factors of ANGPTLs and the properties in regulating the lipid metabolism involved in the underlying mechanisms in pathological effects on diseases will provide potential therapeutic approaches for the treatment of dyslipidemia related diseases.

摘要:
Minimally modified low-density lipoprotein (mmLDL) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This study was designed to investigate the effect of a Toll-like receptor 4 monoclonal antibody (TLR4 mAb) on mmLDL-induced endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDV) impairment in mouse mesenteric arteries and to explore the underlying mechanism. Animals were divided into a normal control group, an mmLDL treatment group, and a TLR4 mAb intervention group. The serum concentrations of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). EDV function was measured using a microvascular tension tracing method. The protein levels and mRNA expression of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha in vascular tissue were detected using western blot analysis and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, respectively. TLR4 mAb improved mmLDL-induced EDV functional impairment in a dose-dependent manner. TLR4 mAb significantly upregulated KCa3.1 and KCa2.3 channel protein levels and downregulated TNF-alpha and IL-1beta expression. These effects were possibly associated with the competitive antagonism of TLR4 mAb on the TLR4 signaling pathway and the downstream NF-kappaB p65 and p38 MAPK pathways, which are activated by mmLDL. In conclusion, pretreatment with TLR4 mAb lessens mmLDL-induced EDV dysfunction and inhibits overexpression of inflammatory factors. Regulation of the TLR4 pathway, as well as its downstream NF-kappaB p65 and p38 MAPK pathways, may be an effective strategy for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

摘要:
<jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives</jats:title><jats:p>Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the primary cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The abnormal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a key event in the pathogenesis of CVD. The functional and phenotypic changes in vascular cells are mediated by complex signaling cascades that initiate and control genetic reprogramming. Many studies have demonstrated that signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) regulates a diverse array of functions relevant to atherosclerosis.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>In this review, we summarize the studies on the STAT3-mediated proliferation of VSMCs and subsequent CVDs such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke, coronary artery disease, and myocardial infarction. Furthermore, we describe the general background of STAT3, its structure, function and regulation as well as the STAT3 signaling pathway. Finally, we highlight some potential issues and propose some solutions to these issues. Results and conclusions: STAT3 activation promotes the proliferation of VSMCs by regulating the transcription of genes. Studying the mechanism of VSMC proliferation induced by the STAT3 pathway is valuable for finding therapeutic targets for CVD.</jats:p></jats:sec>
摘要:
BACKGROUND: Abnormal reactivation of androgen receptor (AR) signaling in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) mainly results from overexpression and down-regulation of AR. Sumoylation of AR can influence its function. However, regulation of AR sumoylation by SUMO E3 ligases PIASs to modify AR distribution and stability are not well understood. METHODS: We assessed the potential effect of SUMO3 modification on AR intracellular localization by immunostaining in AR-negative prostate cancer DU145 cells, and detected the effect of PIAS1/SUMO3 overexpression on AR sumoylation related degradation. Then we characterized AR sumoylation sites involved modified by SUMO3, and the key residue of PIAS1 involved in itself sumoylation and further mediated AR sumoylation (sumo3-conjugated), translocation and degradation. Finally we detected the recognition of PIAS1 (sumoylation ligase) to MDM2, a ubiquin ligase mediated AR degradation. RESULTS: We demonstrate that SUMO E3 ligase PIAS1, along with SUMO3, mediates AR cytosolic translocation and subsequent degradation via a ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Although AR sumoylation occurs prior to ubiquitination, the SUMO-acceptor lysine 386 on AR, together with ubiquitin-acceptor lysine 845, contribute to PIAS1/SUMO3-induced AR nuclear export, ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. Moreover, PIAS1 itself is modified by SUMO3 overexpression, and mutation of SUMO-acceptor lysine 117 on PIAS1 can impair AR cytoplasmic distribution, demonstrating the essential role of sumoylated PIAS1 in AR translocation. We further determine that sumoylated PIAS1 interacts with AR lysine 386 and 845 to form a binary complex. Consistent with the effect on AR distribution, SUMO3 modification of PIAS1 is also required for AR ubiquitination and degradation by recruiting ubiquitin E3 ligase MDM2. CONCLUSION: Taken together, SUMO3 modification of PIAS1 modulates AR cellular distribution and stability. Our study provided the evidence the crosstalk between AR sumoylation and ubquitination mediated by PIAS1 and SUMO3.

摘要:
Mutations in ATP13A2 cause Kufor-Rakeb syndrome, an autosomal recessive form of juvenile-onset atypical Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent work tied ATP13A2 to autophagy and other cellular features of neurodegeneration, but how ATP13A2 governs numerous cellular functions in PD pathogenesis is not understood. In this study, the ATP13A2-deficient mouse developed into aging-dependent phenotypes resembling those of autophagy impairment. ATP13A2 deficiency impaired autophagosome-lysosome fusion in cultured cells and in in vitro reconstitution assays. In ATP13A2-deficient cells or Drosophila melanogaster or mouse tissues, lysosomal localization and activity of HDAC6 were reduced, with increased acetylation of tubulin and cortactin. Wild-type HDAC6, but not a deacetylase-inactive mutant, restored autophagosome-lysosome fusion, antagonized cortactin hyperacetylation, and promoted lysosomal localization of cortactin in ATP13A2-deficient cells. Mechanistically, ATP13A2 facilitated recruitment of HDAC6 and cortactin to lysosomes. Cortactin overexpression in cultured cells reversed ATP13A2 deficiency-associated impairment of autophagosome-lysosome fusion. PD-causing ATP13A2 mutants failed to rescue autophagosome-lysosome fusion or to promote degradation of protein aggregates and damaged mitochondria. These results suggest that ATP13A2 recruits HDAC6 to lysosomes to deacetylate cortactin and promotes autophagosome-lysosome fusion and autophagy. This study identifies ATP13A2 as an essential molecular component for normal autophagy flux in vivo and implies potential treatments targeting HDAC6-mediated autophagy for PD.

METHODS The experiment established three groups of normal saline group,mmLDL treatment group and TLR4mAb intervention group. The concentration of IL-1β and TNF-α in plasma was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) . Measurement of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation was achieved by microvascular tension mapping. Western blot and RT-PCR were used to investigate the expression level of protein and mRNA expressions in vascular tissues. In addition,ultra-structure of mesenteric artery endothelial cells was observed by transmission electron microscope. RESULTS TLR4mAb could improve the damage of mmLDL induced impairment of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation in a dose-dependent manner. Besides,TLR4mAb obviously up-regulated protein expressions in KCa 3.1-channel and KCa 2.3-channel,and down-regulated the expression of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β. Furthermore,the improvement of mmLDL impaired vascular endothelial cells and endothelium-dependent vasodilatation might be correlated with its competitive antagonism of mmLDL-activated TLR4 signal transduction pathway and its downstream NF-κBp65 and p-38 MAPK pathway. CONCLUSION Administration of TLR4mAb in advance can alleviate the impairment of endothelial cells and the decrease of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation induced by mmLDL,and inhibit the overexpression of inflammatory factors. Regulation of TLR4 pathway as well as its downstream NF-κBp65 and P-38 MAPK pathways may be effective targets for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
