Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), a vascular degenerative disease, is a potentially life-threatening condition characterised by the loss of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM), inflammation, and oxidative stress. Despite the severity of AAA, effective drugs for treatment are scarce. At low doses, terazosin (TZ) exerts antiapoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects in several diseases, but its potential to protect against AAA remains unexplored. Herein, we investigated the effects of TZ in two AAA animal models: Angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion in Apoe^-/- mice and calcium chloride application in C57BL/6J mice. Mice were orally administered with TZ (100 or 1000 μg/kg/day). The in vivo results indicated that low-dose TZ alleviated AAA formation in both models. Low-dose TZ significantly reduced aortic pulse wave velocity without exerting an apparent antihypertensive effect in an Ang II-induced AAA model. Paternally expressed gene 3 (Peg3) was identified via RNA sequencing as a novel TZ target. PEG3 expression was significantly elevated in both mouse and human AAA tissues. TZ suppressed PEG3 expression and reduced the abundance of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP2/MMP9) in the tunica media. Functional experiments and molecular analyses revealed that TZ (10 nM) treatment and Peg3 knockdown effectively prevented Ang II-induced VSMC senescence and apoptosis in vitro. Thus, Peg3, a novel target of TZ, mediates inflammation-induced VSMC apoptosis and senescence. Low-dose TZ downregulates Peg3 expression to attenuate AAA formation and ECM degradation, suggesting a promising therapeutic strategy for AAAs.

The therapeutic potential of directly reprogrammed neural stem cells (iNSCs) for neurodegenerative diseases relies on reducing the innate tumorigenicity of pluripotent stem cells. However, the heterogeneity within iNSCs is a major hurdle in quality control prior to clinical applications. Herein, we generated iNSCs from human fibroblasts, by transfecting transcription factors using Sendai virus particles, and characterized the expression of iNSC markers. Using immunostaining and quantitative real time -polymerase chain reaction (RT -qPCR), no differences were observed between colonies of iNSCs and iNSC-derived neurons. Unexpectedly, patch-clamp analysis of iNSC-derived neurons revealed distinctive action potential firing even within the same batch product. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing in fibroblasts, iNSCs, and iNSC-derived neurons to dissect their functional heterogeneity and identify cell fate regulators during direct reprogramming followed by neuronal differentiation. Pseudotime trajectory analysis revealed distinct cell types depending on their gene expression profiles. Differential gene expression analysis showed distinct NEUROG1, PEG3, and STMN2 expression patterns in iNSCs and iNSC-derived neurons. Taken together, we recommend performing a predictable functional assessment with appropriate surrogate markers to ensure the quality control of iNSCs and their differentiated neurons, particularly before cell banking for regenerative cell therapy.

Transmission of malaria parasites to the mosquito is mediated by sexual precursor cells, the gametocytes. Upon entering the mosquito midgut, the gametocytes egress from the enveloping erythrocyte while passing through gametogenesis. Egress follows an inside-out mode during which the membrane of the parasitophorous vacuole (PV) ruptures prior to the erythrocyte membrane. Membrane rupture requires exocytosis of specialized egress vesicles of the parasites; that is, osmiophilic bodies (OBs) involved in rupturing the PV membrane, and vesicles that harbor the perforin-like protein PPLP2 (here termed P-EVs) required for erythrocyte lysis. While some OB proteins have been identified, like G377 and MDV1/Peg3, the majority of egress vesicle-resident proteins is yet unknown. Here, we used high-resolution imaging and BioID methods to study the two egress vesicle types in Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes. We show that OB exocytosis precedes discharge of the P-EVs and that exocytosis of the P-EVs, but not of the OBs, is calcium sensitive. Both vesicle types exhibit distinct proteomes with the majority of proteins located in the OBs. In addition to known egress-related proteins, we identified novel components of OBs and P-EVs, including vesicle-trafficking proteins. Our data provide insight into the immense molecular machinery required for the inside-out egress of P. falciparum gametocytes.

利用Cullin E3连接酶接头蛋白SKP1进行靶向蛋白降解

研究背景由与E3泛素连接酶配体连接蛋白质靶向配体形成的蛋白水解靶向嵌合体（PROTAC）的靶向蛋白质降解已成为一种通过蛋白酶体介导的降解致病蛋白质的强大治疗方式。虽然有超过600个E3连接酶，但是大多数PROTAC只利用了Cullin-RING E3泛素连接酶的底物受体——cereblon和VHL。近年来，还发现了许多其他针对其他E3连接酶的募集蛋白，包括cIAP、MDM2、DCAF16、DCAF11、RNF114、RNF4、FEM1B、KEAP1和DCAF1。并不是所有的E3连接酶都对癌细胞活力至关重要，因此，癌细胞中可能会出现耐药机制，从而损害E3连接酶募集并使PROTAC无效。开发针对泛素-蛋白酶体机制核心成分的募集剂，例如针对对细胞活力至关重要的CUL1-CUL7 E3连接酶中的Cullin-RING E3连接酶复合接头蛋白（如DDB1、SKP1 或ELOB/ELOC）的募集剂，可以避免PROTAC可能产生的潜在未来耐药机制。加州大学伯克利分校Nomura课题组研究了CUL1-RING E3连接酶接头蛋白SKP1是否可以被募集用于PROTAC介导的新底物降解。研究内容该课题组在基于凝胶的基于活性的蛋白质分析（ABPP）中筛选了1284个半胱氨酸反应性共价配体，筛选了针对人SKP1-FBXO7-CUL1-RBX1复合物（图1）。该筛选产生的性能最良好的化合物是EN884（图2）。EN884显示了SKP1-FBXO7-CUL1-RBX1复合物中人SKP1蛋白的半胱氨酸反应性探针的剂量反应置换（图3）。图1.半胱氨酸反应性共价配体库筛选结果（针对SKP1-FBXO7-CUL1-RBX1复合物）图2.EN884结构图3.EN884与半胱氨酸探针反应该课题组对与 EN884 一起孵育的SKP1-FBXO7-CUL1-RBX1复合物进行了串联质谱（MS/MS）分析，以确定修饰位点（图4），发现了一个被修饰的位点——SKP1上的C160（图5），该位点由于特定的F-Box结构域，表现出独特的构象。因此，该课题组假设EN884可能会利用SKP1和CUL1底物受体之间的集体界面并结合。图4.串联质谱分析图5.结合位点位置接下来，该课题组合成了两个基于EN884的炔烃功能化探针SJH1-37-m、SJH1-37-p（图6）。基于凝胶的ABPP评估这些探针与SKP1复合物的结合，与对位相比，间位结合能力更佳（图7）。图6.探针结构图7.探针结合能力值得注意的是，由于C160位置特殊，EN884和SJH1-37m不与单体SKP1结合（图8）。这表明，CUL1复合物的其余部分，或至少是底物受体，是配体与SKP1结合所必需的。图8.探针与单体SKP1结合该课题组进一步证明，SJH1-37m通过SKP1的下拉在细胞中结合SKP1，而不是不相关的蛋白质，如GAPDH（图9）。图9.SJH1-37m探针的SKP1下拉接下来，该课题组进行了基于质谱的ABPP，以使用先前建立的同位素脱硫生物素-ABPP（isoDTB-ABPP）鉴定HEK293T细胞中EN884参与SKP1的半胱氨酸。该课题组发现EN884在SKP1上与C160有7%的最小参与（图10）。这种最小参与与已应用在PROTAC（包括DCAF16、DCAF11和RNF114）中的其他共价E3连接酶募集剂观察到的最小参与一致。图10.HEK293T细胞中EN884的isoDTB-ABPP分析为了证明共价SKP1配体可用于PROTAC应用，该课题组合成了四种不同的PROTAC，通过C2、C4、C5或PEG3连接子将EN884的衍生物与BET家族抑制剂JQ1连接起来，分别生成SJH1-51A、SJH1-51B、SJH1-51C和SJH1-51D（图11）。所有四种PROTAC都降解了HEK293T细胞中BRD4的短亚型（图12），其中使用C4烷基接头的SJH1-51B观察到的降解最强。图11.四种PROTAC结构图12.四种PROTAC降解效果并且，基于串联质量标记（TMT）的MDA-MB-231细胞中SJH1-51B的定量蛋白质组学分析显示BRD4中等选择性降解，其中16种蛋白质的水平显着降低>50%（图13）。图13.SJH1-51B的定量蛋白质组学与蛋白酶体介导的降解一致，SJH1-51B介导的BRD4降解通过用蛋白酶体抑制剂硼替佐米预处理而减弱（图14）。它还显示出对活性Cullin RING E3连接酶所需的NEDD化的依赖性，NEDD化抑制剂MLN4924可减弱BRD4的降解（图15）。最重要的是，该课题组证明SKP1敲低完全减弱了SJH1-51B在HEK293T细胞中对BRD4的降解（图16）。图14.硼替佐米预处理结果图15.MLN4924预处理结果图16.SKP1敲低细胞结果BRD4是一种相对容易被PROTAC降解的蛋白质。因此，该课题组接下来测试了共价SKP1募集剂是否可用于降解另一种新底物蛋白——雄激素受体（AR）。该课题组合成了4种AR PROTAC，将共价SKP1募集剂与来自ARV-110的Arvinas AR PROTAC靶向配体连接起来，没有连接子或C4、C6或C7烷基连接子，分别产生SJH1-63、SJH1-62C、SJH1-62D和SJH1-62B（图17）。该课题组观察到所有4种PROTAC的AR降解，其中带有C7烷基接头的SJH1-62B在LNCaP前列腺癌细胞中显示出最有效和最强大的AR降解（图17）。图17.四种AR PROTAC结构与降解效果该课题组进一步证明，SJH1-62B介导的AR降解在蛋白酶体抑制剂预处理后减弱（图18）。定量蛋白质组学分析还表明，AR与其他11种蛋白质的选择性降解在5000多种定量蛋白质中也显著降低（图19）。图18.SJH1-62B的硼替佐米预处理结果图19.SJH1-62B的定量蛋白质组学研究总结该课题组发现了一种SKP1募集物，它共价靶向位于SKP1和CUL1 F-box底物受体界面的SKP1的固有无序C160。这一观察结果为发现仅在含有IDR的蛋白质与其相互作用的蛋白质形成复合物时出现的可连接位点提供了概念证明。他们进一步证明，这种共价SKP1配体可用于PROTAC应用，以降解细胞中的新底物，如BRD4和AR。鉴于SKP1的重要性，SKP1的共价募集可能潜在地克服在癌症治疗中利用非本质E3连接酶的PROTAC的耐药性机制。虽然该课题组证明了在PROTAC中使用Cullin RING E3连接酶衔接蛋白的概念，但SKP1配体仍处于早期阶段，需要进行重大的药物化学优化，以提高效力、选择性和类药物特性。该课题组的研究结果还强调了使用共价化学蛋白质组学方法来识别泛素-蛋白酶体系统中蛋白质的补充物的实用性，该系统可用于靶向蛋白质降解应用。作者：潘相奕校审：周金明编辑：郑一榕时间：2024年3月29日参考文献Exploiting the Cullin E3 Ligase Adaptor Protein SKP1 for Targeted Protein Degradation ACS Chemical Biology 2024 19 (2), 442-450.
