However, whether vimentin can facilitate cell-to-cell transfer of viral components remains unknown. In this study, using hepatitis C virus (HCV) as a viral model, we demonstrated that HCV infection does not induce large-scale vimentin rearrangement or the formation of a vimentin cage. Interestingly, we observed that HCV components move directionally along a vimentin-containing cellular bridge from highly infected donor cells towards neighboring cells, potentially facilitating viral dissemination.

This pathological process is characterized by accelerating lung aging, manifesting as reduced cellular growth and increased expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors in fibroblasts, which we have demonstrated in our previous study utilizing a cadmium-induced COPD mouse model. Cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, penetrates deep into the lung airways inducing oxidative stress, promoting extracellular matrix deposition, and triggering inflammatory reactions. The present study elucidates that cadmium exposure results in the inhibition of sirtuin-6 (SIRT6) which promotes phosphorylation of the AKT/PI3K signaling pathway, which in turn leads to phosphorylation of vimentin, an intermediate filament protein. Cadmium increases extracellular vimentin which is phosphorylated through AKT/PI3K signaling due to SIRT6 inhibition. Vimentin inhibition using siRNA transfection study suggested no effect on SIRT6, phosphorylated AKT and PI3K expression. SIRT6 induction (UBCS039) in fibroblasts leads to a decrease in phosphorylated AKT/PI3K inhibiting extracellular vimentin levels (P = 0.0002) in cadmium-exposed cells.

Our findings indicate that both anesthetics markedly reduce cell viability and proliferation, as measured by XTT and Colony formation assays, respectively. Mechanistic studies reveal significant disruption of mitochondrial function, evidenced by decreased membrane potential, enhanced mitochondrial superoxide production, and pronounced mitochondrial fragmentation.

Furthermore, both agents suppress alkaline phosphatase activity, a hallmark associated with osteosarcoma differentiation and metastatic potential. Taken together, these results support the conclusion that ropivacaine and lidocaine exert broad anti-tumor effects by impairing both mitochondrial homeostasis and the invasive phenotype in osteosarcoma cells.

As a result of genome duplication in zebrafish, the paralogs Ncam1a and Ncam1b arose. Our previously published findings using morpholino knockdown experiments demonstrated the essential role of Ncam1b in the development of the zebrafish lateral line system, a mechanosensory organ critical for detecting water movements. <em>ncam1b</em> morphants exhibited severe defects, including impaired primordium migration, disrupted proneuromast deposition, and reduced cell proliferation within the primordium. These defects were linked to a disrupted interaction between Ncam1b and Fgfr1a, which led to compromised proliferation and abnormal lateral line development. The current study reveals that <em>ncam1b</em> mutants, however, unlike morphants, do not show this severe phenotype. Instead, we observed subtle alterations, including altered FGF and Wnt signaling and a redistribution of proliferating cells within the primordium. Notably, <em>ncam1b</em> mutants displayed elevated levels of the paralog <em>ncam1a</em> mRNA. The knockdown of either <em>ncam1a</em> or <em>upf3a</em> in <em>ncam1b</em> mutants resulted in a phenotype resembling that of <em>ncam1b</em> morphants. Upf3a is a key regulator of genetic compensation, a well-known phenomenon in zebrafish research. This supports the hypothesis that upregulated <em>ncam1a</em> compensates for the loss of <em>ncam1b</em>, facilitating normal lateral line development. These findings emphasize the essential role of Ncam1 in zebrafish lateral line development and suggest that the retention of both paralogs, <em>ncam1a</em> and <em>ncam1b</em>, acts as a protective mechanism to ensure the preservation of critical Ncam1 functions after gene duplication.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12010,"journal":{"name":"European journal of cell biology","volume":"104 3","pages":"Article 151500"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144471038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, they are derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) including induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs), or from tissue stem cells.

Impaired apoptosis may contribute to the excessive accumulation of pathogenetic cells in such diseases as cancer and organ fibrosis. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms regulating cell density-dependent apoptosis may provide novel therapeutic strategy against these diseases. We have reported Notch signaling, activated by γ-secretase under dense culture condition, regulates cell density-dependent apoptosis through the induction of IL-6. Presenilin 2 (PSEN2) is a subunit of γ-secretase and has been shown to modulate apoptosis. The role for PSEN2 in cell density-dependent apoptosis and Notch signaling activation, however, remains unclear. Here, we show a crucial role for PSEN2 in the regulation of cell density-dependent apoptosis in NIH 3T3 cells. PSEN2 protein primarily existed as C-terminal fragment (CTF). PSEN2 CTF expression was upregulated as cell density increased. PSEN2 regulated the development of apoptosis, which is accompanied by increased Bcl-2 expression, decreased Bax expression, and activated PI3K/Akt pathway. PSEN2 is predicted to be targeted by microRNA-183–5p (miR-183–5p) by several algorithms. We verified miR-183–5p directly regulates PSEN2 expression and induces apoptosis. In conclusion, our results demonstrate a crucial role of PSEN2 and its regulation by miR-183–5p in the regulation of cell density-dependent apoptosis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12010,"journal":{"name":"European journal of cell biology","volume":"104 2","pages":"Article 151494"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143941191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
