TM dysfunction causes IOP elevation, which leads to glaucoma. To investigate biological changes in TM tissue in patients with glaucoma, we analyzed the mRNA expression microarray dataset, GSE27276. Gene ontology analysis indicated that redox microenvironment imbalance is among the main changes of TM tissue in patients with glaucoma. Subsequently, we induced oxidative stress in TM cells using the tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) treatment, to generate in vivo and in vitro models, and conducted mRNA sequencing to identify genes with critical roles in maintaining the redox microenvironment balance. We found that the tBHP caused TM dysfunction in vivo, characterized by aqueous humor circulation resistance, IOP elevation, and TM cell death. Further, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis showed that ferroptosis signaling was enriched in tBHP-treated TM cells. Consistently, in vitro analyses showed that levels of reactive oxygen species, ferric ion, and malondialdehyde were increased after the tBHP treatment, indicating TM cell ferroptosis. Furthermore, inhibiting ferroptosis alleviated tBHP-induced TM cell injury. This study provides new insights suggesting that inhibition of ferroptosis has potential as a treatment for glaucoma.","PeriodicalId":15226,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ccs3.12050","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142273204","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}

CD99 is constantly present in EwS cells, known to modulate the EwS genetic profile and tumor malignancy. However, the relevance of CD99 alone, or in association with EWSR1-ETS chimeras, is poorly understood. We explored the dynamic relationship between CD99 and EWS::FLI1, the main fusion observed in EwS, by means of model systems with inducible expression of either molecule. The transcriptomic dynamics of cells with or without expression of EWS::FLI1 or CD99 were analyzed and correlated with tumor cell growth. The CD99-associated EwS gene profile was found to have commonalities with the profile induced by EWS::FLI1, but also peculiar differences. Both EWS::FLI1 and CD99 are regulated targets of the DREAM complex, but the CD99 expression specifically impacted genes that are the targets of FOXM1 and are involved in the setting of the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Most CD99-regulated FOXM1-targeted genes were found to correlate with bad prognosis in two public clinical datasets (R2 platform), further supporting the clinical relevance of CD99-mediated regulation of EwS gene expression.","PeriodicalId":15226,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ccs3.12047","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142273046","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}

In this study, we examined the behavioral phenotypes of FbCcn2KO mice. Male mice lacking CCN2 in the forebrain exhibited normal locomotion, sensorimotor gating, and social behaviors but signs of anxiety and elevated reactive aggression. We checked the c-fos expression in aggression-related brain regions following the resident-intruder task (RIT), an aggression test. RIT-induced c-fos levels in the medial amygdala (MeA) were higher in FbCcn2−/− mice as compared to controls. However, in the prefrontal cortex, RIT-induced c-fos levels in FbCcn2−/− mice were lower than controls. Our results suggested in male mice lacking CCN2 in the olfaction-related regions, olfactory social cues elicit greater signals in the MeA, resulting in greater reactive aggression in the RIT. Further, lacking CCN2 in the prefrontal cortex, the major area related to inhibitory control and emotion regulation, may lead to signs of anxiety and the failure to suppress aggressive behaviors. Our model is useful in elaborating the mechanism underlying reactive aggression and therapeutic strategies.","PeriodicalId":15226,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ccs3.12040","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141820678","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}

While most apoptosis requires a chain of caspase activation, CASP2 can do this all by itself. The matricellular protein cellular communication network 1 (CCN1) is known for supporting some cancer growth but suppressing others. Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) belongs to the latter. CCN1 is capable of inducing TRAIL-mediated apoptosis in EAC cells. This study found that CCN1 upregulated CASP2 transcription but not its translation in EAC cells because, on one hand, CCN1 downregulated p16 and p21, which increased RB1 phosphorylation allowing E2F1 to transcribe more CASP2 mRNA, on the other hand, CCN1 also upregulated HuR, which is bound to CASP2 mRNA species and blocked its protein translation. As a result, CASP2 contributed nothing to CCN1-induced EAC cell apoptosis. On the contrary, CCN1 promoted CASP3, not only in its transcription but also in its translation and activation, which established the basis for CCN1-induced EAC cell apoptosis.","PeriodicalId":15226,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ccs3.12046","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141828146","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}

Exosomes mediate intercellular communications via transferring various molecules, yet there are limited research studies on the specific cargos of gastric cancer exosomes and the associated mechanisms in this disease. In the present study, AGS and N87-C cells were transfected with an overexpressed GKN1 plasmid, followed by extraction of exosomes. The study utilized gastric cancer cell lines and a xenograft mouse model to investigate the functional significance of exosomal GKN1. Cell proliferation, metastasis, and apoptosis were assessed through CCK-8, Transwell, and flow cytometry assays, respectively. The study further explored the mechanism of exosomal GKN1 and its interaction with the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways, including immunofluorescence and western blot analyses. Exosomal GKN1 was observed to suppress cell proliferation and invasion while enhancing apoptosis. This effect was attributed to the modulation of key proteins involved in cellular processes, including Ki-67, MMP-9, Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, and caspase-9, ultimately impacting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. The findings suggest that exosomal GKN1 exerts inhibitory effects on gastric cancer cell growth and invasion through the regulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling cascade, both in experimental cell cultures and animal models.","PeriodicalId":15226,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ccs3.12044","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141670714","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}

This threatening epidemic is linked to various harmful conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), dyslipidemia, and cancer. The rise in urbanization and sedentary lifestyles creates an environment that fosters obesity, leading to both psychosocial and medical complications. To identify individuals at risk and ensure timely treatment, it is crucial to have a better understanding of the pathophysiology of obesity and its comorbidities. This comprehensive review highlights the relationship between obesity and obesity-associated complications, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, (CVDs), dyslipidemia, polycystic ovary syndrome, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, gastrointestinal complications, and obstructive sleep apnea. It also explores the potential mechanisms underlying these associations.
