Physical properties within tumors, such as aligned extracellular matrix (ECM) fiber architectures, are fundamental to cancer progression and outcome. However, the influence of ECM alignment on immune cell localization and function within tumors, particularly PDA, remains largely unexplored. Here, analysis of mouse and human PDA reveal an inextricable link between collagen architecture and the distribution of immunosuppressive macrophages in both early preinvasive disease and invasive carcinomas. <em>In vitro</em> characterization of primary macrophages demonstrates alignment alone is sufficient to induce elongation, polarization, and immunosuppressive activity, including suppression of CD8+ <em>T</em> cell proliferation and motility. Analysis reveals differential focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activity in aligned macrophages, while FAK inhibition (FAKi) disrupts the immunosuppressive phenotype that emerges from encountering ECM alignment. Furthermore, FAKi <em>in vivo</em> significantly reduces the correlation between elongated immunosuppressive macrophages and aligned collagen, further highlighting the opportunity for FAKi to target stromal immunity. Importantly, the correlation between aligned collagen and immunosuppressive macrophages is also observed in human chronic pancreatitis, a known PDA risk factor that has recently been shown to prime stromal ECM alignments for early dissemination, suggesting that precursor disease is also likely to create stromal memory conducive to early immunosuppression. Taken together, these results support a model in which collagen architecture supports early establishment and maintenance of an immunosuppressive microenvironments and defines a role for targeting stromal matrices to “reprogram” patient immunity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49851,"journal":{"name":"Matrix Biology","volume":"141 ","pages":"Pages 114-126"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145102718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This, in turn governs interactions with growth factors and other biomolecules. We report that NDST1 expression is lower in GBM than in the normal brain, and that patient-derived GBM cells, grown under neural stem cell culture conditions have lower levels of HS than normal astrocytes. Overexpression of NDST1 in GBM cells with low inherent NDST1 levels stimulates cell migration, reduce cell adhesion, induce EMT markers and increase invasion. Conversely, when NDST1 levels were reduced by shRNA in GBM cells, that had higher baseline expression, we find that invasion is reduced, and instead, self-renewal capacity increases alongside elevated stem cell marker expression. Moreover, overexpression of NDST1 changes chromatin accessibility of gene regulatory regions with the capacity to affect transcription factor expression, and pathways that favors cell motility and invasion. Furthermore, NDST1 overexpression results in increased activation of several receptor tyrosine kinases. This study shows that low NDST1 levels support GBM cell stemness, whereas high NDST1 levels endow tumor cells with a motile cell phenotype.

Evidence from case reports supports a cardiac component to this disease, but the phenotypic and functional implications affecting the heart, their progression and underlying mechanisms all remain poorly characterised. Indeed, the role of the basement membrane (BM) in adult cardiac disease remains underexplored. We set out to address these knowledge gaps by combining in-depth phenotypic and molecular analyses of a <em>Col4a1</em> mutation on cardiac biology in a murine model (<em>Col4a1<sup>+/svc</sup></em>) of Gould Syndrome. This revealed morphological cardiac defects including cardiomyocyte hypertrophy with myocardial and vascular fibrotic remodelling that impaired cardiac function. The <em>Col4a1</em> mutation causes systolic and diastolic dysfunction with reduced left ventricular developed pressure. Mechanistically, we show these defects are due to secretion of mutant protein and BM defects rather than collagen misfolding and proteotoxic stress. The BM defects lead to a pro-fibrotic state with increased fibrillar collagen deposition, cardiac stiffness, and ECM compositional defects. These are accompanied by altered regulation of pathways involved in sarcomere formation, sarcolemma stability and cardiomyocyte metabolism, establishing a molecular signature of COL4A1-related cardiac disease. Intriguingly, aspects of this molecular signature including cardiac metabolic pathways, regulation of cardiac muscle contraction and BM component expression, are shared with common cardiomyopathies such as coronary micro-embolism, and dilated, ischemic and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathies. By defining the molecular and phenotypic cardiac components of Gould syndrome these data show that the BM is essential for maintaining systolic and diastolic function and that alterations to the BM leads to a fibrotic response.

While humans possess three genes encoding these enzymes (P4H⍺s), <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> harbour at least 26 candidates for collagen P4H⍺s despite its simple genome, and it is poorly understood which of them are actually working on collagen in the fly. In this study, we addressed this question by carrying out thorough bioinformatic and biochemical analyses. We demonstrate that among the 26 potential collagen P4H⍺s, PH4⍺EFB shares the highest homology with vertebrate collagen P4H⍺s. Furthermore, while collagen P4Hs and their substrates must exist in the same cells, our transcriptomic analyses at the tissue and single cell levels showed a global co-expression of <em>PH4⍺EFB</em> but not the other P4H⍺-related genes with the collagen IV genes. Moreover, expression of <em>PH4⍺EFB</em> during embryogenesis was found to precede that of collagen IV, presumably enabling efficient collagen modification by PH4⍺EFB. Finally, biochemical assays confirm that PH4⍺EFB binds collagen, supporting its direct role in collagen IV modification. Collectively, we identify PH4⍺EFB as the primary and potentially constitutive prolyl 4-hydroxylase responsible for collagen IV biosynthesis in <em>Drosophila</em>.
