Hiroaki Tawara, Takaaki Tsunematsu, Ruka Nagao, Shigefumi Matsuzawa, Kunihiro Otsuka, Aya Ushio and Naozumi Ishimaru : The noncanonical function of borealin, a component of chromosome passenger complex, promotes glycolysis via stabilization of survivin in squamous cell carcinoma cells., Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol.706, 149741, 2024. (Summary) The chromosome passenger complex (CPC) is a kinase complex formed by Aurora B, borealin, survivin and inner centromere protein (INCENP). The CPC is active during mitosis and contributes to proper chromosome segregation via the phosphorylation of various substrates. Overexpression of each CPC component has been reported in most cancers. However, its significance remains unclear, as only survivin is known to confer chemoresistance. This study showed that the overexpression of borealin, a CPC component, stabilized survivin protein depending on its interaction with survivin. Unexpectedly, the accumulation of survivin by borealin overexpression did not affect the well-characterized functions of survivin, such as chemoresistance and cell proliferation. Interestingly, the overexpression of borealin promoted lactate production but not the overexpression of the deletion mutant that lacks the ability to bind to survivin. Consistent with these findings, the expression levels of glycolysis-related genes were enhanced in borealin-overexpressing cancer cells. Meanwhile, the overexpression of survivin alone did not promote lactate production. Overall, the accumulation of the borealin-survivin complex promoted glycolysis in squamous cell carcinoma cells. This mechanism may contribute to cancer progression via excessive lactate production.

(Summary) Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects the function of exocrine glands, such as the lacrimal and the salivary glands. Extraglandular lesions and malignant lymphoma also occur during the progressive stage of pSS. We have, herein, focused on the pulmonary lesions of pSS and have aimed clarifying their pathophysiological mechanism by comparing the glandular with the extraglandular lesions observed in a mouse model of pSS. The histopathological analysis of lung tissues obtained from NFS/ mice that have undergone neonatal thymectomy was performed. Moreover, and experiments were conducted along with immunological analyses in order to characterize the unique phenotypes of the pulmonary lesions identified in these pSS model mice. Inflammatory lesions with a bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue-like structure were identified in the lungs of pSS model mice. In addition, relative to salivary gland lesions, pulmonary lesions showed increased CD23 follicular B (FB) cells. and pulmonary B cells were more readily driven to CD23 FB cell phenotype than salivary gland B cells in pSS model mice. Furthermore, the CD23 FB cell differentiation was found to be enhanced in a CD4 T-cell-dependent manner under a Th2-type condition in the lungs of herein examined pSS model mice. A Th2-type response in the pSS lung may promote the progression of autoimmune lesions through an enhanced abnormal differentiation of B cells.

(Summary) This skewed polarization towards M2 macrophages by an FXR agonist was accompanied by increased expression of signaling molecules related to the retinoic acid receptor. Inhibition of the retinoic acid receptor suppressed FXR agonist-mediated M2 macrophage polarization, indicating that this polarization was, at least, partly dependent on the retinoic acid receptor pathway. These data demonstrate that FXR has a role in polarization toward M2 macrophages and suggest a possible therapeutic potential of FXR agonists in M2 macrophage-related conditions.

(Summary) The toxicologic effects of nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), on the immune system are considerably understood. However, the precise relationship between long-term exposure to CNTs and chronic inflammation remains unclear. In this study, a mouse model of chronic peritonitis was established using i.p. injection of multiwalled CNTs treated by the Taquann method with high dispersion efficiency. Chronic peritonitis with fibrosis was observed in Taquann-treated multiwalled CNT (T-CNT)-injected mice, but not in Taquann-treated titanium dioxide-injected mice. In vivo and in vitro experiments showed that matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) of macrophages was up-regulated by T-CNT to enhance fibroblast activation and profibrotic molecule expression in fibroblasts. In addition, T-CNT-induced peritonitis reduced MMP-12 expression in Nfκb1 mice, suggesting that MMP-12-producing macrophages play a key role in chronic inflammation due to T-CNT exposure through NF-κB activation. The results of this study could be helpful in understanding the molecular toxicity of nanomaterial and chronic inflammation.

(Summary) Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease especially targeting exocrine glands, such as the salivary and lacrimal glands. A radical therapy for SS based on its etiology has not been established because of the complex pathogenesis of the disease. Several studies have demonstrated a relationship between virus infection and SS pathogenesis. In particular, infection with the Epstein-Barr (EB) virus among others is a potent factor associated with the onset or development of SS. Specifically, virus infection in the target organs of SS triggers or promotes autoreactive responses involving the process of autoantigen formation, antigen-presenting function, or T-cell response. Our review of recent research highlights the crucial roles of virus infection in the pathogenesis of SS and discusses the critical association between virus infection and the etiology of autoimmunity in SS.

(Summary) BNT162b2, a nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein (S), provides approximately 95% efficacy for preventing COVID-19. However, it remains unclear how effectively memory CD8+ T cells are generated and which genetic and environmental factors affect the generation and function of memory CD8+ T cells elicited by this vaccine. Here, we investigated the frequency and functions of memory CD8+ T cells 3 weeks after the second vaccination in the Japanese population. Using a peptide-MHC pentamer, we detected an increased number of memory CD8+ T cells together with increased serum anti-S protein antibody in females compared with that in males, but the frequency of pentamer-positive cells was not positively correlated with antibody titers. Memory precursor effector cells (KLRG1-CD127+) among both CD8+ cells and pentamer+ cells and effector cells (CD38-HLA-DR+) among pentamer+ cells were more abundant in females than in males. Upon S protein-mediated stimulation of T cells, the intensity of CD107a and granzyme B expression was increased in females compared with that in males, indicating stronger memory CD8+ T cell responses in females than in males. Our studies showed that the BNT162b2 vaccine elicits increased memory CD8+ T cell proliferation and secondary CTL responses in females compared with those in males in the Japanese population. These findings provide an important basis for the distinct sex difference in cellular immune responses to mRNA vaccination and suggest that memory precursor effector cells can be one of markers to evaluate and boost cellular immunity induced by BNT162b2.

(Summary) Immunoproteasomes regulate the degradation of ubiquitin-coupled proteins and generate peptides that are preferentially presented by MHC class I. Mutations in immunoproteasome subunits lead to immunoproteasome dysfunction, which causes proteasome-associated autoinflammatory syndromes (PRAAS) characterized by nodular erythema and partial lipodystrophy. It remains unclear, however, how immunoproteasome dysfunction leads to inflammatory symptoms. Here, we established mice harboring a mutation in Psmb8 (Psmb8-KI mice) and addressed this question. Psmb8-KI mice showed higher susceptibility to imiquimod-induced skin inflammation (IMS). Blockade of IL-6 or TNF-α partially suppressed IMS in both control and Psmb8-KI mice, but there was still more residual inflammation in the Psmb8-KI mice than in the control mice. DNA microarray analysis showed that treatment of J774 cells with proteasome inhibitors increased the expression of the Cxcl9 and Cxcl10 genes. Deficiency in Cxcr3, the gene encoding the receptor of CXCL9 and CXCL10, in control mice did not change IMS susceptibility, while deficiency in Cxcr3 in Psmb8-KI mice ameliorated IMS. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that this mutation in Psmb8 leads to hyperactivation of the CXCR3 pathway, which is responsible for the increased susceptibility of Psmb8-KI mice to IMS. These data suggest the CXCR3/CXCL10 axis as a new molecular target for treating PRAAS.

(Summary) The COVID-19 pandemic has created urgent demand for rapid detection of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Herein, we report highly sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (N protein) using nanoparticle-enhanced surface plasmon resonance (SPR) techniques. A crucial plasmonic role in significantly enhancing the limit of detection (LOD) is revealed for exceptionally large gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with diameters of hundreds of nm. SPR enhanced by these large nanoparticles lowered the LOD of SARS-CoV-2 N protein to 85 fM, resulting in the highest SPR detection sensitivity ever obtained for SARS-CoV-2 N protein.

(Summary) mice exhibit weight loss, edematous pancreatitis, necrotizing pancreatitis, and acinar cell dedifferentiation in response to tissue damage. Genetic deletion of Mlkl resulted in downregulation of the antiapoptotic genes Bclxl and Cflar in association with increases in the numbers of apoptotic cells, as detected by TUNEL assay. These findings suggest that RIPK3 and MLKL-mediated necroptosis exerts protective effects in AP and caution against the use of necroptosis inhibitors for AP treatment.

(Summary) The NLRC4 inflammasome assembles in response to detection of bacterial invasion, and NLRC4 activation leads to the production of IL-1 and IL-18 together with pyroptosis-mediated cell death. Missense activating mutations in cause autoinflammatory disorders whose symptoms are distinctly dependent on the site of mutation and other aspects of the genetic background. To determine the involvement of IL-1 and IL-18 in the inflammation induced by mutation, we depleted IL-1 , IL-18, or both cytokines in Nlrc4-transgenic mice in which mutant is expressed under the MHC class II promoter (Nlrc4-H443P-Tg mice). The deletion of the or gene in Nlrc4-H443P-Tg mice reduced the neutrophil numbers in the spleen, and mice with deletion of both genes had an equivalent number of neutrophils compared to wild-type mice. Deletion of ameliorated but did not eliminate bone marrow hyperplasia, while mice deficient in showed no bone marrow hyperplasia. In contrast, tail bone deformity remained in the presence of deficiency, but deficiency completely abolished bone deformity. The decreased bone density in Nlrc4-H443P-Tg mice was counteracted by but not deficiency. Our results demonstrate the distinct effects of IL-1 and IL-18 on NLRC4-induced inflammation among tissues, which suggests that blockers for each cytokine should be utilized depending on the site of inflammation.

(Summary) Signal transmission from the mechanical forces to the various intracellular activities is a fundamental process during tissue development. Despite their critical role, the mechanism of mechanical forces in the biological process is poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrated that in the response to hydrostatic pressure (HP), the piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 (PIEZO1) is a primary mechanosensing receptor for odontoblast differentiation through coordination of the WNT expression and ciliogenesis. In stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED), HP significantly promoted calcium deposition as well as the expression of odontogenic marker genes, PANX3 and DSPP, and WNT related-genes including WNT5b and WNT16, whereas HP inhibited cell proliferation and enhanced primary cilia expression. WNT signaling inhibitor XAV939 and primary cilia inhibitor chloral hydrate blocked the HP-induced calcium deposition. The PIEZO1 activator Yoda1 inhibited cell proliferation but induced ciliogenesis and WNT16 expression. Interestingly, HP and Yoda1 promoted nuclear translocation of RUNX2, whereas siRNA-mediated silencing of PIEZO1 decreased HP-induced nuclear translocation of RUNX2. Taken together, these results suggest that PIEZO1 functions as a mechanotransducer that connects HP signal to the intracellular signalings during odontoblast differentiation.
