This study investigates a novel heterozygous FAM111A variant's role in a patient presenting with KCS2-like features. An 11-year-old patient with clinical features consistent with KCS2-like syndrome underwent whole exome sequencing, which identified a novel heterozygous variant in the FAM111A gene. In vitro experiments and protein structure analysis were performed to elucidate the contribution of this mutation to KCS2-like syndrome. To confirm the diagnosis, whole exome sequencing revealed a novel heterozygous variant (c.405delA/p.E136Sfs*3) in the FAM111A gene in an 11-year-old patient. Additionally, we found the clinical features of this patient were consistent with KCS2-like syndrome. Our <i>in vitro</i> studies revealed that the variant led to a significant increase in necroptosis of osteoclasts. Furthermore, variant osteoclasts displayed a significant down-regulation of autophagy, which may contribute to the onset of KCS2-like syndrome. Consequently, the augmented necroptosis may result in the up-regulation of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-17, IL-12p70, MCP-1, IFN-γ and TNF-α. Protein structure analysis suggests that the truncated FAM111A (p.E136Sfs*3) retains an ubiquitin-like domain, which might explain the up-regulated ubiquitination in variant osteoclasts. Therefore, the enhanced ubiquitination in variant osteoclasts may lead to the excessive degradation of intracellular proteins, resulting in irreversible necroptosis. Our findings suggest that the novel variant FAM111A (c.405delA) may be a pathogenic factor in KCS2-like syndrome, likely through mechanisms involving increased necroptosis and inflammation.

Cumulative evidence indicates that Cathepsin K (Cat K), a cysteine protease, is functionally linked to chronic stress and exerts critical regulatory roles in bone metabolism. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms whereby CS promotes osteoporosis in the background of mood-related disturbances remain poorly defined. In the present work, we established a combined mouse model of osteoporosis and chronic stress. We evaluated anxiety- and depression-like behaviors, the expression profiles of Cat K, autophagy-, apoptosis-, and inflammation-associated proteins in bone tissue, as well as vascular senescence in experimental animals. Furthermore, we investigated the biological effects of serum collected from chronically-stressed mice on MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells. Following 8-week chronic stress exposure, ovariectomized (OVX) mice developed prominent anxiety- and depression-like behaviors, accompanied by deteriorated osteoporosis and aortic senescence. Meanwhile, bone tissues exhibited elevated levels of Cat K, p62, pro-inflammatory mediators, and apoptosis-related proteins, whereas the autophagy marker LC3B/A was down-regulated. Administration of E64d, a cysteine protease inhibitor, markedly reversed these pathological alterations. In vitro culture revealed that serum from chronically-stressed mice suppressed the viability of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells. Pharmacological inhibition of Cat K restored autophagic activity, mitigated the overexpression of pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic mediators, and rescued MC3T3-E1 cells from stress-triggered injury.

We therefore investigated whether Exportin-7 (XPO7), a protein enriched in BMSCs-Exos, alleviates OA by ameliorating chondrocyte senescence-associated changes and explores the underlying mechanism. Using an IL-1β-induced in vitro OA model in rat chondrocytes, we treated cells with exosomes from BMSCs with modulated XPO7 overexpression or knockdown; KDM2B was overexpressed in chondrocytes. Senescence, apoptosis, viability, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) markers, and extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism were evaluated. We found that BMSCs-Exos significantly mitigated IL-1β-induced chondrocyte senescence-like changes, apoptosis, SASP (p16, p21, p53, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α), and ECM degradation, as evidenced by the reversal of IL-1β-induced suppression of anabolic genes SOX9, COL2, ACAN and elevated catabolic gene MMP13. These protective effects were enhanced by XPO7 overexpression and diminished by its knockdown. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence further showed that XPO7 physically interacted with and negatively regulated the histone demethylase KDM2B, and overexpressing KDM2B abolished the protective effects of XPO7-enriched exosomes. In an in vivo rat OA model induced by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT), systemic administration of BMSCs-Exos overexpressing XPO7 attenuated cartilage destruction and improved mechanical allodynia (increased paw withdrawal threshold). These therapeutic benefits were significantly reversed by concurrent intra-articular injection with a KDM2B overexpressing plasmid. Collectively, BMSCs-Exos deliver XPO7, which negatively regulates KDM2B to attenuate chondrocyte senescence-associated phenotypes and OA progression.

SERPINE1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, PAI-1) has emerged as a key mechanosensitive effector induced downstream of mechanotransduction signaling pathways. In this review, we discuss SERPINE1 as both a hallmark of cellular senescence and a functional mediator linking mechanotransduction to senescence-associated processes.

The resulting ECM accumulation and matrix stiffening further enhance integrin-dependent mechanotransduction, promoting further SERPINE1 expression and establishing a self-reinforcing mechanobiological feedback loop. SERPINE1 also contributes to senescence-associated inflammatory signaling, which may further support the maintenance of the senescent phenotype. Together, these findings identify SERPINE1 as a mechanistic link between mechanotransduction, ECM remodeling, and cellular senescence.

Among the recurring protein knot types, the 3<sub>1</sub> trefoil, 5<sub>2</sub> Gordian and 7<sub>1</sub> septoil knots provide useful models for understanding how topology may reshape catalysis, substrate recognition, folding and mechanical behaviour. This review focuses on two systems in which these links can already be made with unusual clarity: the 3<sub>1</sub>-knotted SPOUT methyltransferase superfamily and the 5<sub>2</sub>-knotted ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolases (UCHs). In SPOUT methyltransferases, the knot defines a compact S-adenosyl-<span>l</span>-methionine (SAM)-binding pocket and enforces the bent cofactor geometry required for efficient methyl transfer. In UCH deubiquitinases, the 5<sub>2</sub> knot stabilises catalytic architecture, constrains the crossover loop that gates substrate access, and helps explain how mutations, regulatory elements and disease-linked perturbations alter function. Beyond catalysis, knotted topology may also modulate how some proteins respond to force, although the range of mechanostabilities across the knotted proteome is broad and many knotted proteins show moderate resistance to mechanical unfolding. Comparisons between 5<sub>2</sub>-knotted UCH paralogs and the 7<sub>1</sub>-knotted protein Q9PR55 raise the possibility that knot geometry contributes to resilience to withstand vectorial pulling, that is, mechanical unfolding, by a AAA+ protease, ClpXP, alongside local folding stability. In the context of folding mechanisms, knotted proteins are challenging systems in that many populate long-lived intermediates or misthreaded states along parallel or bifurcated folding pathways. Although populated intermediates and slow folding are also well documented in numerous unknotted systems, the question of how knotted topologies contribute to the formation of folding intermediates together with knotting/threading events adds to an extra layer of complexity to the analyses. Together, these examples support a broader view in which topology is not merely descriptive geometry, but a mechanistic variable that links structure, dynamics and biological function.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15219,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cellular biochemistry","volume":"127 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148990044","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}
