This study aimed at searching host cell surface molecules that could contribute to the infection in two views; abundance on host cells and affinity to the spike protein. Since the nasal mucosa is lined by respiratory and olfactory epithelia, and both express an immunoglobulin superfamily member cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), whether CADM1 would participate in the spike protein binding was examined. Immunohistochemistry on the mouse nasal cavity detected CADM1 strongly in the olfactory epithelium at cell-cell contacts and on the apical surface but just faintly in the respiratory epithelium. In contrast, ACE2 was detected in the respiratory, not olfactory, epithelium. When mice were administered intranasally with SARS-CoV-2 S1 spike protein and an anti-CADM1 ectodomain antibody separately, both were detected exclusively on the olfactory, not respiratory, epithelium. Then, the antibody and S1 spike protein were administered intranasally to mice in this order with an interval of 1 h. After 3 h, S1 spike protein was detected as a protein aggregate floating in the nasal cavity. Next, S1 spike protein labeled with fluorescein was added to the monolayer cultures of epithelial cells exogenously expressing ACE2 or CADM1. Quantitative detection of fluorescein bound to the cells revealed that S1 spike protein bound to CADM1 with affinity half as high as to ACE2. Consistently, docking simulation analyses revealed that S1 spike protein could bind to CADM1 three-quarters as strongly as to ACE2 and that the interface of ACE2 was similar in both binding modes. Collectively, intranasal S1 spike protein appeared to prefer to accumulate on the olfactory epithelium, and CADM1 was suggested to contribute to this preference of S1 spike protein based on the molecular abundance and affinity.</p>","PeriodicalId":9717,"journal":{"name":"Cells Tissues Organs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11251658/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71410902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this topic today is now revisited and is of interest since progress over the year has demonstrated its safety, efficacy, and its abundance of supply. The present systematic review was thus conducted to elucidate advances made in this area, with the aim to provide a wider and deeper understanding of studies relevant to the application of allogenic PRP in cartilage repair. Literature search was conducted systematically using Medline, ProQuest, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and snowballing searching strategy to identify relevant studies using topic-specific keywords in various combinations including \"allogenic, platelet, rich, plasma\" OR \"allogeneic, platelet, rich, plasma\" OR \"allogenic platelet-rich plasma\" OR \"allogeneic platelet-rich plasma\" OR \"allogenic platelet rich plasma\" OR \"allogeneic platelet rich plasma\" AND cartilage OR chondrocytes OR synoviocytes OR stem cells.

Of these, nine investigated the efficacy of allogenic PRP in animal models, while three articles employed an in vitro model. Allogenic PRP promotes cell proliferation, cartilage matrix production, and anti-inflammatory effects in vitro.

In the osteogenic cell lineage, including skeletal stem cells, osteoblasts, and osteocytes, the primary cilium plays a vital role in the regulation of bone formation, and this has made it a promising pharmaceutical target to maintain bone health. While the role of the primary cilium in the osteogenic cell lineage has been increasingly characterized, little is known about the potential impact of targeting the cilium in relation to osteoclasts, a hematopoietic cell responsible for bone resorption. The objective of this study was to determine whether osteoclasts have a primary cilium and to investigate whether or not the primary cilium of macrophages, osteoclast precursors, serves a functional role in osteoclast formation. Using immunocytochemistry, we showed the macrophages have a primary cilium, while osteoclasts lack this organelle. Furthermore, we increased macrophage primary cilia incidence and length using fenoldopam mesylate and found that cells undergoing such treatment showed a significant decrease in the expression of osteoclast markers tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, cathepsin K, and c-Fos, as well as decreased osteoclast formation. This work is the first to show that macrophage primary cilia resorption may be a necessary step for osteoclast differentiation. Since primary cilia and preosteoclasts are responsive to fluid flow, we applied fluid flow at magnitudes present in the bone marrow to differentiating cells and found that osteoclastic gene expression by macrophages was not affected by fluid flow mechanical stimulation, suggesting that the role of the primary cilium in osteoclastogenesis is not a mechanosensory one. The primary cilium has been suggested to play a role in bone formation, and our findings indicate that it may also present a means to regulate bone resorption, presenting a dual benefit of developing ciliary-targeted pharmaceuticals for bone disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":9717,"journal":{"name":"Cells Tissues Organs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10863750/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9876677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similarly to previous TEMTIA meetings, TEMTIA X reviewed the most recent aspects of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a cellular process involved during distinct stages of development but also during wound healing and fibrosis to some degree. EMT has also been associated at various levels during tumor cell progression and metastasis. The meeting emphasized the intermediate stages of EMT (partial EMT or EM hybrid cells) involved in the malignant process and their potential physiological or pathological importance, taking advantage of advancements in molecular methods at the single-cell level. It also introduced novel descriptions of EMT occurrences during early embryogenesis. Sessions explored relationships between EMT and cell metabolism and how EMT can affect immune responses, particularly during tumor progression, providing new targets for cancer therapy.
