Ramdass","doi":"10.3389/fcell.2024.1382789","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2024.1382789","url":null,"abstract":"Cytopenias are a common occurrence due to abnormal hematopoiesis persistent in patients suffering from and advancing with HIV/AIDS. In order to develop efficacious therapies against cytopenias, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms by which HIV infection affects the differentiation of hematopoietic stem-progenitor cells (HSPCs), causing hematopoietic inhibition, that leads to hematological disorders. Currently, only the antiretrovirals that are being used to treat HIV infection and indirectly lower the levels of virus replication also co-attenuate cytopenias. The evidence available suggests that this indirect efficacy may not prevail for the lifetime of the infected patients, and the acquired immunodeficiency can overtake the beneficial consequences of decreased virus replication. As cited in this article, we and our colleagues are the first to make a foray into the involvement of microRNAs and their use as potential interventional treatments for the cytopenias that occur with HIV/AIDS. Herein, we progressed further in the direction of the mechanisms of the involvement of homeobox gene regulation to cause cytopenias. We had previously shown that HIV-1 inhibits multi-lineage hematopoiesis of the CD34+ cells using SCID-hu Thy/Liv animals in vivo. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the virus-induced hematopoietic inhibition occurred despite the CD34+ cells being resistant to HIV-1 infection. We set out to search for the specific host factors secreted by CD4+ T-cells that likely participate in the inhibition of hematopoiesis of the HIV infection-resistant CD34+ cells. More recently, we reported the identification of virus-infected CD4+ thymocyte-secreted miRNA-15a and miRNA-24 and that their differential expression following HIV infection causes the indirect inhibition of hematopoiesis. We then hypothesized that the observed miRNA differential expression in the virus-infected T-cells causes the abnormal regulation of homeobox (HOX) gene-encoded transcriptomes in the CD34+ cells, affecting specific MAPK signaling and CD34+ cell fate, thereby disrupting normal hematopoiesis. We present that in HIV infection, miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional dysregulation of HOXB3 mRNA inhibits multi-lineage hematopoiesis, which translates into hematological disorders in virus-infected patients with HIV/AIDS. These observations portend specific microRNA candidates for potential efficacy against the virus-induced cytopenias that are otherwise not treatable by the existing HAART/ART regimens, which are primarily designed and applicable for the attenuation of virus replication.","PeriodicalId":502752,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology","volume":"77 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140665529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, misguided cellular migration is implicated in disease pathologies such as cancer metastasis and fibrosis. The microenvironment influences cell migration modes such as mesenchymal, amoeboid, lobopodial, and collective, and these are governed through local signaling by affecting the gene expression and epigenetic alteration of migration-related genes. Plasticity in switching between migration modes is essential for key cellular processes across various contexts. Understanding the mechanisms of cell migration modes and its plasticity is essential for unraveling the complexities of this process and revealing its implications in physiological and pathological contexts. This review focuses on different modes of cell migration, including their aberrant migration in disease pathologies and how they can be therapeutically targeted in disease conditions such as cancer.","PeriodicalId":502752,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology","volume":"77 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140670575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ramos","doi":"10.3389/fcell.2024.1332894","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2024.1332894","url":null,"abstract":"In nearly every species of insect, embryonic development takes place outside of the mother’s body and is entirely dependent on the elements that the mother had previously stored within the eggs. It is well known that the follicle cells (FCs) synthesize the eggshell (chorion) components during the process of choriogenesis, the final step of oogenesis before fertilization. These cells have developed a specialization in the massive production of chorion proteins, which are essential for the protection and survival of the embryo. Here, we investigate the function of Sec16, a protein crucial for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi traffic, in the oocyte development in the insect Rhodnius prolixus. We discovered that Sec16 is strongly expressed in vitellogenic females’ ovaries, particularly in the choriogenic oocyte and it is mainly associated with the FCs. Silencing of Sec16 by RNAi caused a sharp decline in oviposition rates, F1 viability, and longevity in adult females. In the FCs, genes involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR), the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), and autophagy were massively upregulated, whereas the mRNAs of Rp30 and Rp45—which code for the two major chorion proteins - were downregulated as a result of Sec16 silencing, indicating general proteostasis disturbance. As a result, the outer surface ultrastructure of Sec16-silenced chorions was altered, with decreased thickness, dityrosine crosslinking, sulfur signals, and lower amounts of the chorion protein Rp30. These findings collectively demonstrate the critical role Sec16 plays in the proper functioning of the FCs, which impacts the synthesis and deposition of particular components of the chorion as well as the overall reproduction of this vector.","PeriodicalId":502752,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology","volume":"98 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140676599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
