- Gastric cancer (GC) metastasis involves the interaction between tumor cells and their stromal microenvironment. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a pivotal role in this process, and elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying GC cell-CAF interactions could uncover potential therapeutic targets to block metastatic progression. Here, through transcriptomic profiling of GC cell-CAF communications, we identified galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase 1 (GAL3ST1) as a key regulator of CAF-induced GC cell metastatic potential. Mechanistically, GAL3ST1 functioned as a histone sulfotransferase to sulfate nascent histone H3 at tyrosine 99 (H3Y99sulf) in the cytosol of GC cells. The sulfated histones were subsequently translocated to the nucleus via AP2B1, where they recruited KAT2A to establish H3K56 acetylation marks that resulted in activation of β-catenin transcription and drove epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Furthermore, CAF-derived SEMA7A engaged ITGB1 on GC cells and initiated ERK1/2-CEBPB signaling to transcriptionally upregulate GAL3ST1. Collectively, these findings reveal a role for GAL3ST1 in histone sulfation-mediated epigenetic regulation and elucidate the SEMA7A/GAL3ST1/H3Y99sulf axis as a crucial mediator of tumor-stromal crosstalk in GC metastasis. - Source: PubMed

Lu YifanWu XiongyanLi BaolongYao LizhongHou JunyiYu BeiqinLi JianfangLi ChenYan MinYang ZhongyinYan ChaoZhu ZhengGangLiu BingyaTang KaiwenPan TaoYu ZhenjiaJin ZhijianSu Liping - Profiling the thiol proteome in live cells is a critical yet challenging task for elucidating oxidative stress-related processes due to the scarcity of multifunctional probes that directly integrate fluorescence imaging with chemical proteomics. Here, we constructed a fluorescent, enrichable, and mass spectrometry-compatible probe based on fluorinated porphyrin, termed the FP probe. By eliminating the need for attaching separate reporter modules after probe labeling, the FP probe not only directly visualizes the thiol proteome in cells but also enables the visualization of thiol proteome enrichment for reliable site identification by mass spectrometry. This capability drives the development of a visualization-guided proteomics (VGP) workflow, which seamlessly merges fluorescence imaging with chemical proteomics. In addition, the FP probe demonstrated an advantage in the capture of cysteines with low solvent accessibility. We successfully identified Cys818 of AP2B1, a residue with a relative solvent accessible area of 0.02 that is sensitive to the protein interactions induced by diamide stress in live cells. Our probe may pave the way for the design of multifunctional probes and become an important tool for applications including target identification, drug discovery, and diagnostics. - Source: PubMed

Liu ZhiyongMa ShiyunZhang YuxiaoYao JunLu Haojie - Aging significantly impacts brain function and increases susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases, with notable sex dimorphism observed in aging-related dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease. To better understand the molecular mechanisms of aging and dementia, it is essential to globally and accurately characterize biomolecules (e.g., proteins) in the brain as a function of age and sex. Here, we present one of the first studies of aging and sexual dimorphism in brains using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model, employing mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative top-down proteomics (TDP). We analyzed proteoforms in male and female zebrafish brains across three ages (6, 16, and 24 months) using capillary zone electrophoresis-tandem MS (CZE-MS/MS). We revealed significant sex- and age-related differences in the abundance of key proteoforms, including those associated with neurofilament assembly, dopaminergic neuron differentiation, and synaptic vesicle priming. Notably, we identified a truncated proteoform of AP2B1, a subunit of the AP2 adaptor complex closely associated with clathrin-mediated endocytosis and cellular aging, in female zebrafish aged 24 months exclusively, suggesting potential age- and sex-specific roles in brain aging. Additionally, significant changes were observed in proteoforms involved in energy metabolism, structural maintenance, and neurotransmitter release, providing a new opportunity for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of brain aging and sexual dimorphism. These findings highlight the effectiveness of CZE-MS/MS in TDP for identifying and quantifying proteoforms, offering a deep view of sex-specific proteoform dynamics during brain aging. - Source: PubMed
