However, their impact on the heart, which undergoes dynamic mechanical alterations in healthy and failing states, remains understudied. ADGRG1 (formerly known as GPR56) is widely expressed, including in skeletal muscle where it was previously shown to mediate mechanical overload-induced muscle hypertrophy, thus we hypothesized that it could impact the development of cardiac dysfunction and remodeling in response to pressure overload. In this study, we generated a cardiomyocyte (CM)-specific ADGRG1 knockout mouse model, which, although not initially displaying features of cardiac dysfunction, does develop increased systolic and diastolic LV volumes and internal diameters over time. Notably, when challenged with chronic pressure overload, CM-specific ADGRG1 deletion accelerates cardiac dysfunction, concurrent with blunted CM hypertrophy, enhanced cardiac inflammation and increased mortality, suggesting that ADGRG1 plays an important role in the early adaptation to chronic cardiac stress. Altogether, this study provides an important proof-of-concept that targeting CM-expressed AGPCRs may offer a new avenue for regulating the development of heart failure.","PeriodicalId":8926,"journal":{"name":"Bioscience Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142191217","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}

Previously considered a static structure, it is now clear that myelin is dynamically regulated in response to neuronal activity in the CNS. However, how activity-dependent signals are conveyed to oligodendrocytes remains unclear. Here we review the potential mechanisms by which neurons could communicate changing activity levels to myelin, with a focus on the accumulating body of evidence to support activity-dependent vesicular signalling directly onto myelin sheaths. We discuss recent in vivo findings of activity-dependent fusion of neurotransmitter vesicles from non-synaptic axonal sites, and how modulation of this vesicular fusion regulates the stability and growth of myelin sheaths. We also consider the potential mechanisms by which myelin could sense and respond to axon-derived signals to initiate remodelling, and the relevance of these adaptations for circuit function. We propose that axonal vesicular signalling represents an important and underappreciated mode of communication by which neurons can transmit activity-regulated signals to myelinating oligodendrocytes and, potentially, more broadly to other cell types in the CNS.</p>","PeriodicalId":8926,"journal":{"name":"Bioscience Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142124723","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}

PP-InsPs can transfer their β-phosphate group to a phosphorylated Ser residue to generate pyrophosphorylated Ser. This unique post-translational modification occurs on Ser residues that lie in acidic stretches within an intrinsically disordered protein sequence. Serine pyrophosphorylation is dependent on the presence of Mg2+ ions, but does not require an enzyme for catalysis. The mechanisms by which cells regulate PP-InsP-mediated pyrophosphorylation are still unknown. We performed mass spectrometry to identify interactors of IP6K1, an enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the PP-InsP 5-InsP7. Interestingly, IP6K1 interacted with several proteins that are known to undergo 5-InsP7-mediated pyrophosphorylation, including the nucleolar proteins NOLC1, TCOF and UBF1, and AP3B1, the β subunit of the AP3 adaptor protein complex. The IP6K1 interactome also included CK2, a protein kinase that phosphorylates Ser residues prior to pyrophosphorylation. We observe the formation of a protein complex between IP6K1, AP3B1, and the catalytic α-subunit of CK2, and show that disrupting IP6K1 binding to AP3B1 lowers its in vivo pyrophosphorylation. We propose that assembly of a substrate-CK2-IP6K complex would allow for coordinated pre-phosphorylation and pyrophosphorylation of the target serine residue, and provide a mechanism to regulate this enzyme-independent modification.</p>","PeriodicalId":8926,"journal":{"name":"Bioscience Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142124724","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}

Structural features of the developed and subsequently lysed fibrin network, formed under static and flow conditions, were visualized by confocal microscopy. Thrombin-initiated plasma clotting revealed changes in the shape of the absorption curve, more pronounced in the presence of platelets. These changes correlate with the transformation of the fibrin scaffold during clot maturing. With the combined action of platelets, thrombin and Ca2+, plasma clotting passes through two phases: initial formation of a platelet-fibrin network (first peak in the polymerization curve), and then the compaction of fibrin, driven by FXIIIa (the second peak) which can be further modulate by the contractile action of platelets. These structural changes, mediated by platelets and FXIIIa, have been shown to determine subsequent clot lysis.</p>  Platelet aggregates serve as organizing centers that determine the distribution of fibrin in clot volume. The openwork structure of the platelet-transformed fibrin provides the necessary prerequisites for its timely lysis. The revealed aspects of the interaction of platelets and FXIIIa, which accompanies the maturation of a fibrin clot, may lead to new approaches in the pharmacological correction of disorders associated with both thrombotic episodes and bleeding tendency.</p>","PeriodicalId":8926,"journal":{"name":"Bioscience Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142104009","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}
