The role of LOXL2 induced by glucose metabolism-activated NF- κB in maintaining drug resistance through EMT and cancer stemness in gemcitabine-resistant PDAC
J Mol Med (Berl). 2023 Sep 22. doi: 10.1007/s00109-023-02369-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGemcitabine is considered a standard treatment for pancreatic cancer, but developing drug resistance greatly limits the effectiveness of chemotherapy and increases the rate of recurrence. Lysyl oxide-like 2 (LOXL2) is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer and is involved in carcinogenesis and EMT regulation. However, studies on the role of LOXL2 in drug resistance are limited. Here, we investigated the mechanism of LOXL2 induction and the effect of LOXL2 on EMT and CSC in gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer. Glucose metabolism...

Inhibition of STIM1 alleviates high glucose-induced proliferation and fibrosis by inducing autophagy in mesangial cells
In this study, we investigated the role of STIM1 in the proliferation and fibrosis in high glucose (HG)-induced HBZY-1 cells. We found that the expression of STIM1 was increased in renal tissues of diabetic rat and HBZY-1 cells stimulated by HG. Downregulation of STIM1-mediated SOCE suppressed hyperglycemic cell proliferation and fibrosis by activating autophagy. In addition, the inhibitory effect of downregulating STIM1 on cells was blocked by autophagy inhibitor Bafilomycin A1 (BafA1). Moreover, this experiment also showed that STIM1 regulated autophagy, cell proliferation and fibrosis via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway. T...

Interaction between N < sup > 6 < /sup > -methyladenosine modification and the tumor microenvironment in colorectal cancer
Mol Med. 2023 Sep 22;29(1):129. doi: 10.1186/s10020-023-00726-2.ABSTRACTThe incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) are rapidly increasing worldwide. Recently, there has been significant attention given to N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most common mRNA modification, especially for its effects on CRC development. It is important to note that the progression of CRC would be greatly hindered without the tumor microenvironment (TME). The interaction between CRC cells and their surroundings can activate and influence complex signaling mechanisms of epigenetic changes to affect the survival of tumor cells with a malig...

Automated radiosynthesis of < sup > 18 < /sup > FFMPEP- < em > d < /em > < sub > 2 < /sub > for cannabinoid receptor PET imaging
Am J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2023 Aug 15;13(4):171-178. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTThe cannabinoid subtype 1 receptor (CB1R) is highly expressed in the central nervous system and abnormalities in regional CB1R density are associated with neurodegenerative disorders. The PET tracer [18F]FMPEP-d2 is an inverse CB1R agonist which was shown to be suitable for non-invasive PET imaging. In this work, we reported the fully automated radiosynthesis of [18F]FMPEP-d2 on a Synthra RNplus research module. In a total synthesis time of 70 min, [18F]FMPEP-d2 was obtained in 2.2 ± 0.1 GBq (n = 3) with excellent radiochemical and chemical pur...

Utility of FRET in studies of membrane protein oligomerization: the concept of the effective dissociation constant
Biophys J. 2023 Sep 21:S0006-3495(23)00588-X. doi: 10.1016/j.bpj.2023.09.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe activity of many membrane receptors is controlled through their lateral association into dimers or higher order oligomers. While Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements have been used extensively to characterize the stability of receptor dimers, the utility of FRET in studies of larger oligomers has been limited. Here we introduce an effective equilibrium dissociation constant that can be extracted from FRET measurements for EphA2, a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) known to form active oligomers of ...

Fluorophore position of headgroup-labeled Gb < sub > 3 < /sub > glycosphingolipids in lipid bilayers
Biophys J. 2023 Sep 21:S0006-3495(23)00587-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bpj.2023.09.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFluorescent lipid probes are an invaluable tool for investigating lipid membranes. In particular, localizing particular receptor lipids such as glycosphingolipids within phase-separated membranes is of pivotal interest to understanding the influence of protein-receptor lipid binding on membrane organization. However, fluorescent labeling can readily alter the phase behavior of a lipid membrane because of the interaction of the fluorescent moiety with the membrane interface. Here, we investigated Gb3 glycosphingolipid...

Attention-gated U-Net networks for simultaneous axial/sagittal planes segmentation of injured spinal cords
This study proposes a new CNN-based segmentation method in which information is exchanged between two networks analyzing the scans from different planes. Our aim was to develop a robust method for automatic segmentation of the spinal cord in patients having suffered traumatic injuries. The database consisted of 106 sagittal MRI scans from 94 patients with traumatic spinal cord injuries. Our method used an innovative approach where the scans were analyzed in series under the axial and sagittal plane by two different convolutional networks. The results were compared with those of Deepseg 2D from the Spinal Cord Toolbox (SCT)...

Modeling unveils sex differences of signaling networks in mouse embryonic stem cells
Mol Syst Biol. 2023 Sep 21:e11510. doi: 10.15252/msb.202211510. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFor a short period during early development of mammalian embryos, both X chromosomes in females are active, before dosage compensation is ensured through X-chromosome inactivation. In female mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), which carry two active X chromosomes, increased X-dosage affects cell signaling and impairs differentiation. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain poorly understood. To dissect X-dosage effects on the signaling network in mESCs, we combine systematic perturbation experiments with mathematical modeling. ...

Time-resolved cryo-EM (TR-EM) analysis of substrate polyubiquitination by the RING E3 anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C)
Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1038/s41594-023-01105-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSubstrate polyubiquitination drives a myriad of cellular processes, including the cell cycle, apoptosis and immune responses. Polyubiquitination is highly dynamic, and obtaining mechanistic insight has thus far required artificially trapped structures to stabilize specific steps along the enzymatic process. So far, how any ubiquitin ligase builds a proteasomal degradation signal, which is canonically regarded as four or more ubiquitins, remains unclear. Here we present time-resolved cryogenic electron microscopy studies of the ...

PARylated PDHE1 α generates acetyl-CoA for local chromatin acetylation and DNA damage repair
Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1038/s41594-023-01107-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChromatin relaxation is a prerequisite for the DNA repair machinery to access double-strand breaks (DSBs). Local histones around the DSBs then undergo prompt changes in acetylation status, but how the large demands of acetyl-CoA are met is unclear. Here, we report that pyruvate dehydrogenase 1α (PDHE1α) catalyzes pyruvate metabolism to rapidly provide acetyl-CoA in response to DNA damage. We show that PDHE1α is quickly recruited to chromatin in a polyADP-ribosylation-dependent manner, which drives acetyl-CoA generation to su...
