In Y79 retinoblastoma cells, the level of iovs.15-18680 CAPN5 transcript was very low. Immunohistochemistry detected CAPN5 expression in the inner and outer nuclear layers and at synapses in the outer plexiform layer. Western analysis of fractionated retinal extracts confirmed CAPN5 synapse localization. Western blots of fractionated brain neuronal extracts revealed distinct subcellular patterns and the potential presence of autoproteolytic CAPN5 domains. CONCLUSIONS. CAPN5 is moderately expressed in the retina and, despite higher expression in other tissues, hyperactive disease mutants of CAPN5 only manifest as eye disease. At the cellular level, CAPN5 is expressed in several different functional compartments. CAPN5 localization at the photoreceptor synapse and with mitochondria explains the neural circuitry phenotype in human CAPN5 disease alleles.

Tsang3, Alexander G. Bassuk4 and Vinit B. Mahajan1,2* Abstract Objective: Our objective was to characterize CAPN5 gene expression in the mouse central nervous system. Mouse brain and eye sections were probed with two high-afnity RNA oligonucleotide analogs designed to bind CAPN5 RNA and one scramble, control oligonucleotide. Images were captured in brightfeld. Results: CAPN5 RNA probes were validated on mouse breast cancer tumor tissue. In the eye, CAPN5 was expressed in the ganglion cell, inner nuclear and outer nuclear layers of the retina. Signal could not be detected in the ciliary body or the iris because of the high density of melanin. In the brain, CAPN5 was expressed in the granule cell layers of the hippocampus and cerebellum. There was scattered expression in pons. The visual cortex showed faint signal. Most signal in the brain was in a punctate pattern.

  • Calpain-10 Regulates Actin Dynamics by Proteolysis of Microtubule-Associated Protein 1B
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Calpain-10 regulates actin dynamics by proteolysis of microtubule-associated protein 1B Received: 15 September 2015 Tomohisa Hatta1, Shun-ichiro Iemura1,6, Tomokazu Ohishi2, Hiroshi Nakayama3, Accepted: 1 November 2018 Hiroyuki Seimiya 2, Takao Yasuda4, Katsumi Iizuka5, Mitsunori Fukuda4, Jun Takeda5, Published: xx xx xxxx Tohru Natsume1 & Yukio Horikawa5 Calpain-10 (CAPN10) is the calpain family protease identifed as the frst candidate susceptibility gene for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the detailed molecular mechanism has not yet been elucidated. Here we report that CAPN10 processes microtubule associated protein 1 (MAP1) family proteins into heavy and light chains and regulates their binding activities to microtubules and actin flaments. Immunofuorescent analysis of Capn10−/− mouse embryonic fbroblasts shows that MAP1B, a member of the MAP1 family of proteins, is localized at actin flaments rather than at microtubules. Furthermore, fuorescence recovery after photo-bleaching analysis shows that calpain-10 regulates actin dynamics via MAP1B cleavage. Moreover, in pancreatic islets from CAPN10 knockout mice, insulin secretion was signifcantly increased both at the high and low glucose levels. These fndings indicate that defciency of calpain-10 expression may afect insulin secretion by abnormal actin reorganization, coordination and dynamics through MAP1 family processing. Calpains are a family of intracellular non-lysosomal calcium-activated neutral cysteine proteases known to cleave various substrate proteins and modulate their activities. Tere are 16 calpains, some of which are ubiquitously expressed and others displaying tissue-specifc distribution. Some calpains contain a penta-EF-hand domain (typical or classical calpains), and others do not (atypical calpains). Several calpain family members are impli- cated in the development of various diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, cataracts, ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2A and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)1.

Recently, several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in calpain-10 and adiponectin gene have been report- ed to be associated with type 2 diabetes and various metabolic derangements. We investigated the associations between specific cal- pain-10 and adiponectin gene polymorphisms and Korean type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: Overall, 249 type 2 diabetes patients and 131 non-diabetic control subjects were enrolled in this study. All the subjects were genotyped for SNP-43 and -63 of calpain-10 gene and G276T and T45G frequencies of the adiponectin gene. The clinical char- acteristics and measure of glucose metabolism were compared within these genotypes. Results: Among calpain-10 polymorphisms, SNP-63 T/T were more frequent in diabetes patients, and single SNP-63 increases the susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. However, SNP-43 in calpain-10 and T45G and intron G276T in adiponectin gene were not signifi- cantly associated with diabetes, insulin resistance, nor insulin secretion. Conclusion: Variations in calpain-10, SNP-63 seems to increase the susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in Koreans while SNP-43 and adiponectin SNP-45, -276 are not associated with impaired glucose metabolism.

Published in final edited form as: Physiol Genomics. 2018 September 01; 50(9): 770–779. doi:10.1152/physiolgenomics.00051.2018. Influenza virus infection modulates the death receptor pathway during early stages of infection in human bronchial epithelial cells Sreekumar Othumpangat, Donald H. Beezhold, and John D. Noti Allergy and Clinical Immunology Branch, Health Effects Laboratory Division, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Morgantown, West Virginia Abstract Host-viral interaction occurring throughout the infection process between the influenza A virus (IAV) and bronchial cells determines the success of infection. Our previous studies showed that the apoptotic pathway triggered by the host cells was repressed by IAV facilitating prolonged survival of infected cells. A detailed understanding on the role of IAV in altering the cell death pathway during early-stage infection of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEpCs) is still unclear. We investigated the gene expression profiles of IAV-infected vs. mock-infected cells at the early stage of infection with a PCR array for death receptor (DR) pathway. At early stages infection (2 h) with IAV significantly upregulated DR pathway genes in HBEpCs, whereas 6 h exposure to IAV resulted in down-regulation of the same genes. IAV replication in HBEpCs decreased the levels of DR pathway genes including TNF-receptor superfamily 1, Fas-associated death domain, caspase-8, and caspase-3 by 6 h, resulting in increased survival of cells.

It is characterized by progressive weakness of shoulder, pelvic, and proximal limb muscles that usually appears in children and young adults and results in loss of ambulation within 20 years after disease onset in most patients. The pathophysiological mechanisms involved in LGMDR1 remain mostly unknown, and to date, there is no effective treatment for this disease.

This disease may lead to various maternal and neonatal complications; therefore, early diagnosis is very important. Because of the similarity in pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and GDM, Citation: Ustianowski, P.; the genetic variants associated with type 2 diabetes are commonly investigated in GDM. The aim Malinowski, D.; Kopytko, P.; of the present study was to examine the associations between the polymorphisms in the ADCY5 Czerewaty, M.; Tarnowski, M.; (rs11708067, rs2877716), CAPN10 (rs2975760, rs3792267), and JAZF1 (rs864745) genes and GDM as Dziedziejko, V.; Safranow, K.; Pawlik, well as to determine the expression of these genes in the placenta. This study included 272 pregnant A. ADCY5, CAPN10 and JAZF1 Gene women with GDM and 348 pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance.
