  • The Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome: the Actin Cytoskeleton and Immune Cell Function

Blundella, Austen Wortha,b, Gerben Boumaa and Adrian J. Thrashera,b,∗ aMolecular Immunology Unit, UCL Institute of Child Health, London, UK bDepartment of Immunology, Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Trust, Great Ormond Street, London, UK Abstract. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a rare X-linked recessive primary immunodeficiency characterised by immune dysregulation, microthrombocytopaenia, eczema and lymphoid malignancies. Mutations in the WAS gene can lead to distinct syndrome variations which largely, although not exclusively, depend upon the mutation. Premature termination and deletions abrogate Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) expression and lead to severe disease (WAS). Missense mutations usually result in reduced protein expression and the phenotypically milder X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT) or attenuated WAS [1–3]. More recently however novel activating mutations have been described that give rise to X-linked neutropenia (XLN), a third syndrome defined by neutropenia with variable myelodysplasia [4–6]. WASP is key in transducing signals from the cell surface to the actin cytoskeleton, and a lack of WASp results in cytoskeletal defects that compromise multiple aspects of normal cellular activity including proliferation, phagocytosis, immune synapse formation, adhesion and directed migration.

  • Analysis of Gene Expression Data for Gene Ontology
    ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSION DATA FOR GENE ONTOLOGY BASED PROTEIN FUNCTION PREDICTION A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Robert Daniel Macholan May 2011 ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSION DATA FOR GENE ONTOLOGY BASED PROTEIN FUNCTION PREDICTION Robert Daniel Macholan Thesis Approved: Accepted: _______________________________ _______________________________ Advisor Department Chair Dr. Zhong-Hui Duan Dr. Chien-Chung Chan _______________________________ _______________________________ Committee Member Dean of the College Dr. Chien-Chung Chan Dr. Chand K. Midha _______________________________ _______________________________ Committee Member Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Yingcai Xiao Dr. George R. Newkome _______________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT A tremendous increase in genomic data has encouraged biologists to turn to bioinformatics in order to assist in its interpretation and processing. One of the present challenges that need to be overcome in order to understand this data more completely is the development of a reliable method to accurately predict the function of a protein from its genomic information. This study focuses on developing an effective algorithm for protein function prediction. The algorithm is based on proteins that have similar expression patterns. The similarity of the expression data is determined using a novel measure, the slope matrix. The slope matrix introduces a normalized method for the comparison of expression levels throughout a proteome. The algorithm is tested using real microarray gene expression data. Their functions are characterized using gene ontology annotations. The results of the case study indicate the protein function prediction algorithm developed is comparable to the prediction algorithms that are based on the annotations of homologous proteins.

  • Annexina7 and CAP1 Are Associated with Regulating Tumor Cell Adhesion Molecule Expression and Biological Behavior
    AnnexinA7 and CAP1 are associated with regulating tumor cell adhesion molecule expression and biological behavior Type Research paper Keywords hepatocellular carcinoma, adhesion molecule, AnnexinA7, CAP1, Biological behaviors Abstract Introduction To find out the correlations between the effects of down-regulating AnnexinA7 and CAP1 gene on cell adhesion factors and the biological behavior of Hca-p cells cells, and finally infer the relationship between the two genes. Material and methods Western blot ,qRT-PCR,immunocytochemistry, CCK8 cell proliferation, flow cytometry, lymph node adhesion and transwell chamber assay testing . Results AnnexinA7 and CAP1 were consistent with the regulation of the expression of the adhesion molecules such as FAK, Src, Paxillin and E-cadherin. At the mRNA and protein levels, the expression of FAK, Src and Paxillin were increased with down-regulated AnnexinA7 and CAP1 genes, while E-cadherin was down-regulated in the change of these two genes. And the low expression of AnnexinA7 could affect the expression of CAP1 in mRNA and protein levels. otherwise, the localization of AnnexinA7 and CAP1 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells was also the same. After down-regulating the expression of CAP1, the functions of proliferation, lymph node adhesion and invasion were increased and earlyPreprint apoptotic ability was decreased in Hca-P cells. Conclusions AnnexinA7 and CAP1 could control the expression of these adhesion molecules in the same trend. We speculated they may be co-localization. And AnnexinA7 gene may be related to the molecular mechanism of CAP1 gene, which is likely to have a consistent effect on cell adhesion molecules and be closely related to the biological behaviors of Hca-P cells.AnnexinA7 and CAP1 may play an inhibitory role in lymph node metastasis to provide a reliable basis for the early identification of lymphatic metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma.

  • Impaired Immune Surveillance Accelerates Accumulation of Senescent Cells and Aging
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-07825-3 OPEN Impaired immune surveillance accelerates accumulation of senescent cells and aging Yossi Ovadya1, Tomer Landsberger2, Hanna Leins3,4, Ezra Vadai1, Hilah Gal1, Anat Biran1, Reut Yosef1, Adi Sagiv1, Amit Agrawal1, Alon Shapira1, Joseph Windheim1, Michael Tsoory5, Reinhold Schirmbeck4, Ido Amit 2, Hartmut Geiger3,6 & Valery Krizhanovsky 1 Cellular senescence is a stress response that imposes stable cell-cycle arrest in damaged 1234567890():,; cells, preventing their propagation in tissues. However, senescent cells accumulate in tissues in advanced age, where they might promote tissue degeneration and malignant transfor- mation. The extent of immune-system involvement in regulating age-related accumulation of senescent cells, and its consequences, are unknown. Here we show that Prf1−/− mice with impaired cell cytotoxicity exhibit both higher senescent-cell tissue burden and chronic inflammation. They suffer from multiple age-related disorders and lower survival. Strikingly, pharmacological elimination of senescent-cells by ABT-737 partially alleviates accelerated aging phenotype in these mice. In LMNA+/G609G progeroid mice, impaired cell cytotoxicity further promotes senescent-cell accumulation and shortens lifespan. ABT-737 administration during the second half of life of these progeroid mice abrogates senescence signature and increases median survival. Our findings shed new light on mechanisms governing senescent- cell presence in aging, and could motivate new strategies for regenerative medicine. 1 Department of Molecular Cell Biology, The Weizmann Institute of Science, 76100 Rehovot, Israel. 2 Department of Immunology, The Weizmann Institute of Science, 76100 Rehovot, Israel. 3 Institute of Molecular Medicine, Stem Cell and Aging, Ulm University, Ulm 89081, Germany.

  • Microtubule and Cortical Forces Determine Platelet Size During Vascular Platelet Production
    ARTICLE Received 5 Jan 2012 | Accepted 11 Apr 2012 | Published 22 May 2012 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms1838 Microtubule and cortical forces determine platelet size during vascular platelet production Jonathan N Thon1,2, Hannah Macleod1, Antonija Jurak Begonja2,3, Jie Zhu4, Kun-Chun Lee4, Alex Mogilner4, John H. Hartwig2,3 & Joseph E. Italiano Jr1,2,5 Megakaryocytes release large preplatelet intermediates into the sinusoidal blood vessels. Preplatelets convert into barbell-shaped proplatelets in vitro to undergo repeated abscissions that yield circulating platelets. These observations predict the presence of circular-preplatelets and barbell-proplatelets in blood, and two fundamental questions in platelet biology are what are the forces that determine barbell-proplatelet formation, and how is the final platelet size established. Here we provide insights into the terminal mechanisms of platelet production. We quantify circular-preplatelets and barbell-proplatelets in human blood in high-resolution fluorescence images, using a laser scanning cytometry assay. We demonstrate that force constraints resulting from cortical microtubule band diameter and thickness determine barbell- proplatelet formation. Finally, we provide a mathematical model for the preplatelet to barbell conversion. We conclude that platelet size is limited by microtubule bundling, elastic bending, and actin-myosin-spectrin cortex forces. 1 Hematology Division, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA. 2 Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA. 3 Translational Medicine Division, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA. 4 Department of Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior and Department of Mathematics, University of California Davis, Davis, 95616, USA. 5 Vascular Biology Program, Department of Surgery, Children’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA.

  • Keratins and Plakin Family Cytolinker Proteins Control the Length Of
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Keratins and plakin family cytolinker proteins control the length of epithelial microridge protrusions Yasuko Inaba*, Vasudha Chauhan, Aaron Paul van Loon, Lamia Saiyara Choudhury, Alvaro Sagasti* Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology Department and Molecular Biology Institute, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, United States Abstract Actin filaments and microtubules create diverse cellular protrusions, but intermediate filaments, the strongest and most stable cytoskeletal elements, are not known to directly participate in the formation of protrusions. Here we show that keratin intermediate filaments directly regulate the morphogenesis of microridges, elongated protrusions arranged in elaborate maze-like patterns on the surface of mucosal epithelial cells. We found that microridges on zebrafish skin cells contained both actin and keratin filaments. Keratin filaments stabilized microridges, and overexpressing keratins lengthened them. Envoplakin and periplakin, plakin family cytolinkers that bind F-actin and keratins, localized to microridges, and were required for their morphogenesis. Strikingly, plakin protein levels directly dictate microridge length. An actin-binding domain of periplakin was required to initiate microridge morphogenesis, whereas periplakin-keratin binding was required to elongate microridges. These findings separate microridge morphogenesis into distinct steps, expand our understanding of intermediate filament functions, and identify microridges as protrusions that integrate actin and intermediate filaments. *For correspondence: [email protected] (YI); Introduction [email protected] (AS) Cytoskeletal filaments are scaffolds for membrane protrusions that create a vast diversity of cell shapes.

Although the contribution of actin filaments and microtubules to the mechanics of cells has been investigated in great detail, relatively little is known about the contribution of the third major cytoskeletal component, intermediate filaments (IFs). To determine the role of vimentin IF (VIF) in modulating intracellular and cortical mechanics, we carried out studies using mouse embryonic fibroblasts (mEFs) derived from wild-type or vimentinÀ/À mice. The VIFs contribute little to cortical stiffness but are critical for regulating intracellular mechanics. Active microrheology measurements using optical tweezers in living cells reveal that the presence of VIFs doubles the value of the cytoplasmic shear modulus to ~10 Pa. The higher levels of cytoplasmic stiffness appear to stabilize organelles in the cell, as measured by tracking endogenous vesicle movement. These studies show that VIFs both increase the mechanical integrity of cells and localize intracellular components.

B.J ABSTRACT binding protein known to be specifically associated with the cytoskeleton of the brush border microvilli (17), has been re Twenty human colon carcinoma cell lines were studied for their ability ported only in Caco-2 (18) and HT-29 cells (18-20). Surpris to develop some of the characteristics of the normal intestinal epithelium, ingly, villin was expressed in the latter cells even when undif- e.g., epithelial polarity, presence of the actin-binding protein villin, or the ferentiated, although at a lower level and with a different occurrence of an enterocytic differentiation either when cultured under cellular localization (18-20). That other colon cell lines should standard conditions, as for Caco-2 cells, or when grown in a glucose-free medium, as for IIT-29 cells. Except for the regular presence of villin, also express some of these differentiation features is suggested by the observations that (a) villin is present in a number of which can be considered a marker of the colonie origin of the cells, the colon tumors3 (18) and (b) an enterocytic differentiation is cell lines of this study could be classified into four types with regard to their differentiation characteristics.
