This review explores the connection between membrane trafficking and Wnt signaling, with a specific focus on macropinocytosis—an endocytic process involved in nutrient uptake that also plays a role in Wnt signal regulation. The relationship between Wnt signaling and macropinocytosis, critical in both embryonic development and cancer onset, reveals a new dimension for therapeutic intervention.

The Central Nervous System (CNS)'s ability to interpret the environment and generate precise responses depends on the functional efficiency of its neural network, which in turn relies on the 3D spatial organization of its constituents, mainly neurons and glia. Throughout evolution, sensory integration and motor response coordination became linked with the merging of the brain and nerve cord (NC) in the urbilaterian CNS. In most arthropods, the NC follows a specific topological plan and consists of a fixed number of neuromeres (thoracic and abdominal ganglia with commissural interconnections and a single terminal ganglion). The number, spacing, and fusion of neuromeres are species-specific and can change during embryogenesis or post-embryonic life. During <em>Drosophila</em> embryogenesis, the NC condenses along the Anterior-Posterior (AP) axis in a stereotypical manner, bringing neuromeres closer together. This process has revealed several key parameters, including its morphogenetic mechanics, the roles of various cellular, molecular, and structural components, and the functional purpose of its balanced design. The embryonic NC serves as a valuable model for investigating the ancient mechanisms underlying the structural organization, sensory integration, and motor coordination of the CNS.

Here, we show that the greatest period of differential gene expression in the normal postnatal mouse aorta occurs prior to weaning at three weeks of age though with important evolution of many transcripts thereafter. We identify six general temporal patterns, including transcripts that monotonically decrease to lower or increase to higher steady state values as well as those that either peak or dip prior to or near weaning. We show that diverse transcripts within individual groupings correlate well over time, and that sub-sets of these groups correlate well with the developmental progression of different biomechanical metrics that are expected to be involved in mechano-sensing. In particular, expression of genes for elastin and elastin-associated glycoproteins tend to correlate well with the ratio of systolic-to-diastolic stress whereas genes for collagen fibers correlate well with the daily rate of change of systolic stress and genes for mechano-sensing proteins tend to correlate well with the systolic stress itself.

An understanding of the key molecular initiators of fibrosis would be both diagnostically useful and provide potential targets for therapeutics. The ECM protein fibronectin (FN) is upregulated in fibrotic conditions and other ECM proteins depend on assembly of a FN foundational ECM for their matrix incorporation. We used cell culture and in vivo models to investigate the role of FN in the progression of lung fibrosis. We confirmed that normal human lung fibroblasts (NHLFs) treated with transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) to stimulate fibrotic gene expression significantly increased both FN expression and its assembly into a matrix. We found that levels of alternatively spliced EDA and EDB exons were proportional to the increase in total FN RNA and protein showing that inclusion of these exons is not enhanced by TGF-β stimulation. RNA-sequencing identified 43 core matrisome genes that were significantly up- or down-regulated by TGF-β treatment and a Luminex immunoassay demonstrated increased levels of ECM proteins in conditioned medium of TGF-β-treated NHLFs. Interestingly, among the regulated core matrisome genes, 16 encode known FN-binding proteins and, of these, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) was most highly up-regulated. To link the NHLF results with in vivo disease, we analyzed lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from bleomycin-treated mice and found dramatically higher levels of FN and the FN-binding proteins IGFBP3, tenascin-C, and type I collagen in fibrotic conditions compared to controls.
