Although the abnormal intracellular accumulation of GM1 ganglioside is recognized as a major pathological feature, the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal dysfunction remain unclear. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays essential roles in CNS development and the maintenance of synaptic function and plasticity; however, its contribution to the pathology of lysosomal storage diseases remains unclear. We previously identified a marked impairment of neurotransmitter release in GM1 gangliosidosis neurons, accompanied by reduced expression of synapse-related molecules. In this study, we investigated the potential involvement of endogenous BDNF signaling in synaptic dysfunction using human iPSC-derived neurons. We found that endogenous BDNF expression was significantly reduced in GM1 gangliosidosis neurons, accompanied by a marked decrease in full-length tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB), a key mediator of BDNF signaling. Further, the gene expression of synapse-related molecules involved in neurotransmitter release, including SNAP25 and VAMP2, was reduced. Importantly, exogenous BDNF supplementation ameliorated presynaptic dysfunction and substantially restored the expression of synapse-related molecules, which were reduced in disease neurons. Furthermore, 7,8-dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF), a selective TrkB agonist, markedly reversed presynaptic dysfunction. These findings suggest that impaired BDNF/TrkB signaling contributes to presynaptic dysfunction in GM1 gangliosidosis and identify the enhancement of this pathway as a potential therapeutic strategy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8779,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical and biophysical research communications","volume":"842 ","pages":"Article 154842"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149353460","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}

Here we analyzed a pair of fibroblastic cells derived from stromal tissue of breast cancer (BC-CAFs) or corresponding normal mammary microenvironment (NMFs). We found that the reversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motif (RECK) was highly expressed only in NMFs. Conditioned media derived from BC-CAFs enhanced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer cells significantly stronger than NMFs. Similarly, BC-CAFs induced EMT in co-injected breast cancer cells when xenografted into immune-compromised mice. These activities of BC-CAFs were significantly suppressed by RECK overexpression. BC-CAFs exhibited higher rate of active/latent TGF-β1 and active/pro-MMP-2. Induction of RECK in BC-CAFs significantly antagonized EMT induction with diminished activation of TGF-β1 and pro-MMP-2. Inversely, depletion of RECK in NMFs promoted EMT with enhancement of TGF-β1 and pro-MMP2 activation. BC-CAFs express higher level of histone deacetylase 1/2 (HDAC-1/2). Multiple HDAC inhibitors induced RECK in BC-CAFs with concomitant decrease in TGF-β 1and pro-MMP2 activation and ability to induce EMT. BC-CAFs exhibited higher histone acetylation in the promoter of RECK. These findings suggest that RECK ectopic expression in BC-CAFs suppresses TGF-β1 maturation by inhibiting pro-MMP-2 activation thereby attenuates EMT and that RECK promoter deacetylation occurs in fibroblasts associated with developing breast cancer.
