Humanized disulfide-stable double-chain antibody against fibroblast growth factor-2 (anti-FGF2 ds-Diabody) is a small molecule antibody with good tissue permeability and low immunogenicity, which has potential in tumor-targeted therapy. This study intended to investigate the effect of anti-FGF2 ds-Diabody on the migration and expression of programmed death-ligand1 (PD-L1) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. The anti-FGF2 ds-Diabody was expressed under methanol induction and purified with Ni<sup>2+</sup>-affinity chromatography. Anti-FGF2 ds-Diabody significantly inhibited cell viability and proliferation in SK-Hep1 and HepG2 cells as confirmed by CCK-8 assays and colony formation assays. Western blot assays indicated that the proliferation of SK-Hep1 and HepG2 cells was inhibited by anti-FGF2 ds-Diabody through inhibiting the phosphorylation activation of AKT and MAPK. The results of transwell and western blot assays showed that the migration and invasion of SK-Hep1 and HepG2 cells were suppressed by anti-FGF2 ds-Diabody by affecting the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Meanwhile, anti-FGF2 ds-Diabody inhibited the expression of PD-L1, and STAT3 participated in this process. Analysis of RT-PCR and Western blot suggested that fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 inhibitor 1 (FGFR4-IN-1) suppressed the expression of PD-L1, while STAT3 overexpression reversed this inhibitory effect. In addition, overexpression of STAT3 promoted migration and invasion and restored the suppressive effect of anti-FGF2 ds-Diabody on EMT. In conclusion, anti-FGF2 ds-Diabody could inhibit the expression of PD-L1 and EMT of hepatoma cells through FGF2/FGFR4/STAT3 axis. These results suggested that anti-FGF2 ds-Diabody has potential clinical application in inhibiting metastasis and immune escape of hepatocellular carcinoma.</p>","PeriodicalId":14728,"journal":{"name":"IUBMB Life","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10223706","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}

Several carrier proteins evolutionarily related to ANT, including SLC25A24 and SLC25A25, are believed to promote the exchange of cytosolic ATP-Mg<sup>2+</sup> with phosphate in the mitochondrial matrix. They allow a net accumulation of adenine nucleotides inside mitochondria, which is essential for mitochondrial biogenesis and cell growth. In the last two decades, mutations in the heart/muscle isoform 1 of ANT (ANT1) and the ATP-Mg<sup>2+</sup> transporters have been found to cause a wide spectrum of human diseases by a recessive or dominant mechanism. Although loss-of-function recessive mutations cause a defect in oxidative phosphorylation and an increase in oxidative stress which drives the pathology, it is unclear how the dominant missense mutations in these proteins cause human diseases. In this review, we focus on how yeast was productively used as a model system for the understanding of these dominant diseases. We also describe the relationship between the structure and function of ANT and how this may relate to various pathologies. Particularly, mutations in Aac2, the yeast homolog of ANT, were recently found to clog the mitochondrial protein import pathway. This leads to mitochondrial precursor overaccumulation stress (mPOS), characterized by the toxic accumulation of unimported mitochondrial proteins in the cytosol. We anticipate that in coming years, yeast will continue to serve as a useful model system for the mechanistic understanding of mitochondrial protein import clogging and related pathologies in humans.</p>","PeriodicalId":14728,"journal":{"name":"IUBMB Life","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://iubmb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/iub.2767","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9918376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Out of several mechanisms, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) arbitrated drug resistance is a major concern.

In the current study, we investigated whether the ameliorating impact of liraglutide on lipid-induced hepatic steatosis is dependent on RORα activity and examined the underlying mechanisms.

Consistently, liraglutide also ameliorated lipid deposits in a steatotic hepatocyte model in vitro.
