Abstract The CCN family of genes consists presently of six members in human (CCN1-6) also known as Cyr61 (Cystein rich 61), CTGF (Connective Tissue Growth Factor), NOV (Nephroblastoma Overexpressed gene), WISP-1, 2 and 3 (Wnt-1 Induced Secreted Proteins). Results obtained over the past decade have indicated that CCN proteins are matricellular proteins, which are involved in the regulation of various cellular functions, such as proliferation, differentiation, survival, adhesion and migration. The CCN proteins have recently emerged as regulatory factors involved in both internal and external cell signaling.

We applied next-generation proteomics to serum extracellular vesicles (EVs) to discover novel COPD biomarkers. EVs from 10 patients with COPD and six healthy controls were analysed by tandem mass tag-based non-targeted proteomics, and those from elastase-treated mouse models of emphysema were also analysed by non-targeted proteomics. For validation, EVs from 23 patients with COPD and 20 healthy controls were validated by targeted proteomics. Using non-targeted proteomics, we identified 406 proteins, 34 of which were significantly upregulated in patients with COPD. Of note, the EV protein signature from patients with COPD reflected inflammation and remodelling. We also identified 63 upregulated candidates from 1956 proteins by analysing EVs isolated from mouse models. Combining human and mouse biomarker candidates, we validated 45 proteins by targeted proteomics, selected reaction monitoring. Notably, levels of fibulin-3, tripeptidyl- peptidase 2, fibulin-1, and soluble scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain-containing protein were significantly higher in patients with COPD.

More recently thapsigargin was found to be a potent cytotoxin that induces apoptosis by inhibiting the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticu- lum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) pump, which is necessary for cellular viability. This biological activity encouraged studies on the use of thapsigargin as a novel antineoplastic agent, which were, however, hampered due to high toxicity of this compound to normal cells. In this review, we summarized the recent knowledge on the biological activity and molecular mechanisms of thapsigargin action and advances in the synthesis of less-toxic thapsigargin derivatives that are being developed as novel anticancer drugs.

  • Neuronal Calcium Sensor-1 Enhancement of Insp3 Receptor Activity Is Inhibited by Therapeutic Levels of Lithium
    Neuronal calcium sensor-1 enhancement of InsP3 receptor activity is inhibited by therapeutic levels of lithium Christina Schlecker, … , Klara Szigeti-Buck, Barbara E. Ehrlich J Clin Invest. 2006;116(6):1668-1674. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI22466. Research Article Neuroscience Regulation and dysregulation of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) signaling via the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R) has been linked to many cellular processes and pathological conditions. In the present study, addition of neuronal calcium sensor-1 (NCS-1), a high-affinity, low-capacity, calcium-binding protein, to purified InsP3R type 1 (InsP3R1) increased the channel activity in both a calcium-dependent and -independent manner. In intact cells, enhanced expression of NCS-1 resulted in increased intracellular calcium release upon stimulation of the phosphoinositide signaling pathway. To determine whether InsP3R1/NCS-1 interaction could be functionally relevant in bipolar disorders, conditions in which NCS-1 is highly expressed, we tested the effect of lithium, a salt widely used for treatment of bipolar disorders. Lithium inhibited the enhancing effect of NCS-1 on InsP3R1 function, suggesting that InsP3R1/NCS-1 interaction is an essential component of the pathomechanism of bipolar disorder.

These subsurface cisternae have been clas- Babraham Laboratory of Molecular Signalling sified into different types depending on how closely they Cambridge CB2 4AT approach the plasma membrane (Takahashi and Wood, United Kingdom 1970). The type I come within 40±80 nm, whereas the type II and III come much closer (20 nm) and often follow the contours of the plasma membrane, suggesting that Introduction the two membranes are bound together (Rosenbluth, Calcium plays an important role in regulating a great 1962). Indeed, the two membranes are separated by a variety of neuronal processes. Like other cells, neurons fuzzy material with a distinct periodicity reminiscent of use both extracellular and intracellular sources of cal- the triadic junction of muscle cells (Henkart et al., 1976). In the axonal initial segment of certain neurons (e.g., cium. The mechanisms responsible for regulating the cortical principal cells, spiny stellate cells, and dentate influx of external calcium are well established (Figure granule cells) the subsurface cisternae appear as multi- 1). For example, voltage-operated channels are used layered structures called cisternal organelles (Peters et to trigger the release of neurotransmitter at synaptic al., 1968; Kosaka, 1980; Takei et al., 1992; Benedeczky junctions and they contribute to dendritic action poten- et al., 1994).
