Chromatin and lamins are two of the major structural components of the nucleus that maintain its shape and function, but their relative roles in nuclear blebbing remain elusive. To determine the composition of nuclear blebs, we compared the immunofluorescence intensity of DNA and lamin B in the main nucleus body to the nuclear bleb across cell types and perturbations. DNA density in the nuclear bleb was consistently decreased to about half of the nuclear body while lamin B levels in the nuclear bleb varied widely. Partial Wave Spectroscopic (PWS) microscopy recapitulated significantly decreased likelihood of high-density domains in the nuclear bleb versus body, independent of lamin B. Time lapse imaging into immunofluorescence reveals that decreased DNA density marks all nuclear blebs while decreased lamin B1 levels only occur in blebs that have recently ruptured.

However, despite the biological significance of miRNAs, the roles of other miRNA-binding proteins (miRBPs) remain unclear in the regulation of miRNA loading, dissociation from RISCs and extracellular release. In this study, we performed protein arrays to profile miRBPs and identify 118 RBPs that directly bind to miRNAs. Among those proteins, the RBP quaking (QKI) inhibits extracellular release of the mature microRNA let-7b by controlling the loading of let-7b into extracellular vesicles via additional miRBPs such as AUF1 (also known as hnRNPD) and hnRNPK. The enhanced extracellular release of let-7b after QKI depletion activates Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) and promotes the production of proinflammatory cytokines in recipient cells, leading to brain inflammation in the mouse cortex. Thus, this study reveals the contribution of QKI to the inhibition of brain inflammation via regulation of extracellular let-7b release.","PeriodicalId":15227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cell science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142288103","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}

Recent studies have uncovered the intricate connection between inflammation and stem cell dynamics, shedding light on the central role of stem cells in tissue regeneration. This Review highlights the significance of inflammation in shaping epithelial stem cell dynamics and its implications for tissue repair, regeneration and aging. We explore the multifaceted interactions between inflammation and stem cells, focusing on how inflammatory signals affect stem cell behavior and fate as well as the remodeling of their niche in the respiratory tract. We also discuss the concept of 'inflammatory memory' in epithelial stem cells, where prior inflammatory stimuli endow these cells with enhanced regenerative potential and confer long-lasting protective mechanisms for maintaining tissue integrity and function. Furthermore, we review the impact of cell senescence induced by inflammation on tissue regeneration and aging, delving into the molecular mechanisms underlying the modulation of signaling pathways, epigenetic modifications and cellular crosstalk. Understanding these dynamic processes not only deepens our knowledge of tissue homeostasis and repair but also holds profound implications for regenerative medicine strategies aimed at preventing pulmonary diseases.","PeriodicalId":15227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cell science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142604274","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}

In response, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) generate enhanced contractile forces. Our previous findings demonstrate that VSMC volume is enhanced in response to increased matrix rigidity, but our understanding of the mechanisms regulating this process remain incomplete. In this study, we show that microtubule stability in VSMCs is reduced in response to enhanced matrix rigidity via Piezo1-mediated Ca2+ influx. Moreover, VSMC volume and Ca2+ flux is regulated by microtubule dynamics; microtubule-stabilising agents reduced both VSMC volume and Ca2+ flux on rigid hydrogels, whereas microtubule-destabilising agents increased VSMC volume and Ca2+ flux on pliable hydrogels. Finally, we show that disruption of the microtubule deacetylase HDAC6 uncoupled these processes and increased α-tubulin acetylation on K40, VSMC volume and Ca2+ flux on pliable hydrogels, but did not alter VSMC microtubule stability. These findings uncover a microtubule stability switch that controls VSMC volume by regulating Ca2+ flux. Taken together, these data demonstrate that manipulation of microtubule stability can modify VSMC response to matrix stiffness.","PeriodicalId":15227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cell science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142288099","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}

We used CRISPR/Cas9 to induce prom1-null mutations in Xenopus laevis and then tracked retinal disease progression from the ages of 6 weeks to 3 years. We found that prom1-null-associated retinal degeneration in frogs was age-dependent and involved retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) dysfunction preceding photoreceptor degeneration. Before photoreceptor degeneration occurred, aging prom1-null frogs developed larger and increasing numbers of cellular debris deposits in the subretinal space and outer segment layer, which resembled subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs) in their location, histology and representation as seen by color fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Evidence for an RPE origin of these deposits included infiltration of pigment granules into the deposits, thinning of the RPE as measured by OCT, and RPE disorganization as measured by histology and OCT. The appearance and accumulation of SDD-like deposits and RPE thinning and disorganization in our animal model suggests an underlying disease mechanism for prom1-null-mediated blindness that involves death and dysfunction of the RPE preceding photoreceptor degeneration, instead of direct effects upon photoreceptor outer segment morphogenesis, as was previously hypothesized.","PeriodicalId":15227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cell science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142361605","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}

In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the most widely used regulatable expression system is the nmt1 promoter and its two attenuated variants. However, these promoters have limitations, including a long lag, incompatibility with rich media and unsuitability for non-dividing cells. Here, we present a tetracycline-inducible system free of these shortcomings. Our system features the enotetS promoter, which achieves a similar induced level and a higher induction ratio compared to the nmt1 promoter, without exhibiting a lag. Additionally, our system includes four weakened enotetS variants, offering an expression range similar to that of the nmt1 series promoters but with more intermediate levels. To enhance usability, each promoter is combined with a Tet-repressor-expressing cassette in an integration plasmid. Importantly, our system can be used in non-dividing cells, enabling the development of a synchronous meiosis induction method with high spore viability. Moreover, our system allows for the shutdown of gene expression and the generation of conditional loss-of-function mutants. This system provides a versatile and powerful tool for manipulating gene expression in fission yeast.","PeriodicalId":15227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cell science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142347442","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}
