- The targeted, substrate-specific degradation of paternal mitochondria inside the zygote, known as post-fertilization sperm mitophagy, is a crucial and evolutionarily conserved early embryonic event. It ensures the exclusive maternal inheritance of the mitochondrial genome. Post-fertilization sperm mitophagy was initially thought to only be achieved via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Until pro-autophagic receptor proteins such as SQSTM1, GABARAP, as well as the proteasome-interacting ubiquitinated protein dislocase VCP, were identified as contributors to the degradation of the sperm mitochondria early after mammalian fertilization. This synergy of proteasomal and autophagic pathways ensures a timely degradation of sperm mitochondria shortly after fertilization. The discovery of these autophagic receptors lead researchers to believe there might be other autophagic receptors and determinants necessary for proper post-fertilization sperm mitophagy. Based on the established inventory of proteins from mass spectrometry trials of boar spermatozoa exposed to porcine oocyte extracts in an intra-specific porcine cell-free system (CFS), five candidate mitophagy determinants were further investigated in this study, namely LACTB, PRDX3, PSMA8, TOMM34, and FUNDC1. These proteins of interest were studied and validated by using in vitro fertilization (IVF) protocols, cell imaging of spermatids, spermatozoa, oocytes and zygotes, protein interactome analysis, and the porcine CFS. The proteins PSMA8 and TOMM34 behaved in accordance with our proteomic study predictions. The PSMA8 labeling increased after exposure to CFS; in agreement with the classification PSMA8 was given from the mass spectrometry findings. TOMM34 underwent a visible decrease in labeling after exposure to CFS, which also agreed with its proteomic classification; this labeling persisted in IVF zygotes. Except for LACTB, the examined proteins showed mutual interactions as well as interactions with previously identified sperm mitophagy factors in the STRING interactome analysis. Results from this study validate the novel porcine CFS as a valuable tool for the exploration of early fertilization events at a molecular level. Future phenotyping and functional studies using porcine CFS will advance the understanding of mitochondrial inheritance and zygotic development and potentially shed light on the origins of certain mitochondrial diseases arising from the failure of post-fertilization sperm mitophagy. - Source: PubMed

Liquid-liquid phase separation has emerged as a new mechanism of drug resistance, yet its role in EGFR-TKI resistance in lung cancer is largely unexplored. Herein, we prioritized Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1/p62) as a key condensate by integrating proteomics data from EGFR-TKI resistance cell lines and clinical biopsy specimens, in which the cytoplasmic p62 condensate formation positively correlated with EGFR-TKI resistance. Domain mapping demonstrated that the PB1 and UBA domains of p62 were critical for promoting phase separation and reducing sensitivity to EGFR-TKI treatment, whereas S403 phosphorylation promoted p62 condensation and EGFR-TKI resistance. Further xenograft studies validated that reduction of p62 condensation restores EGFR-TKI sensitivity. Kinase enrichment and interaction assays identified TBK1 as an upstream regulator of p62 S403 phosphorylation to promote p62 condensation after pharmacological inhibition of EGFR. Notably, among the five compounds identified from a drug library screen that both disrupted p62 condensate formation and inhibited the viability of resistant cells, the highly selective TBK1 inhibitor GSK8612 stood out. GSK8612 inhibited p62 S403 phosphorylation and consequently, at subcytotoxic doses, synergized with EGFR-TKIs to suppress the viability of resistant cells and tumor growth in the xenograft mouse model. These findings propose TBK1-p62 axis links p62 condensate homeostasis to EGFR-TKI resistance as an underlying mechanism of action and an emerging strategy to resensitize EGFR-TKI treatment in resistant lung cancer. - Source: PubMed

Song YuexiaoShao ChangchunZhang YiruoYang MinLiu YaqianChen ShengGao JiaLi ZihuanLi BinYao XuebiaoLiu XingRuan KeDu Yingying - Primary pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) associated with paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is extremely rare. IMT is an intermediate (rarely metastasizing) mesenchymal neoplasm rather than a conventional sarcoma. We report a case of a 68-year-old female patient who initially presented with generalized skin rash, oral mucosal ulceration, and fever. Chest CT revealed a thoracic mass (initially difficult to determine whether mediastinal or pulmonary in origin). Subsequent thoracotomy and surgical resection with pathological examination confirmed an ALK-rearranged inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (SQSTM1: ALK fusion) of pulmonary origin. Oral mucosal pathology, combined with clinical findings, supported a diagnosis of PNP. This case aims to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with primary pulmonary IMT complicated by PNP. However, the follow-up period was short and systemic immunosuppressive therapy was not administered; this should be regarded as a cautionary note rather than a therapeutic recommendation. - Source: PubMed

Dong YiGuan YongjieFeng ShuangWang XiaoweiRen XiyuanGao Ke - Autophagy is a conserved catabolic process that degrades damaged proteins and organelles to preserve cellular homeostasis. Autophagy plays two opposing roles during viral infection. On the one hand, it can be subverted by viruses to facilitate replication and immune evasion. On the other hand, it limits viral infection by delivering viral components to lysosomes. The interaction between autophagy and important picornaviruses that infect cattle and poultry, such as SVV, EMCV, FMDV, and DHAV, is the main topic of this paper. However, comprehensive summaries focusing specifically on livestock and poultry remain limited. We summarize current research showing that these viruses evade host protection by manipulating several steps of the autophagic pathway, from initiation to lysosomal fusion, to produce replication-favorable environments. Notably, by directing the breakdown of viral capsid proteins, specific autophagy receptors such as SQSTM1/p62, NDP52, and optineurin (OPTN) serve as antiviral effectors. In response, picornaviruses have developed proteolytic strategies to inactivate these receptors, such as SVV 3C-mediated cleavage of SQSTM1 and OPTN. Moreover, different immune evasion tactics are shown by virus-specific engagement of organelle-selective autophagy, such as ER-phagy (SVV) or mitophagy (DHAV). The development of broad-spectrum antiviral treatments and autophagy-based biomarkers for livestock disease progression may benefit from an understanding of the convergent and different ways picornaviruses take advantage of the autophagic machinery. - Source: PubMed

Ma HaibinLiu RongchangLiao Ming - Alopecia areata (AA) is a common autoimmune alopecia disease. Evidence suggests that autophagy-related genes (ARGs) may contribute to its pathophysiology. This study aims to explore and identify potential autophagy-related biomarkers and molecular subtypes in AA. In this study, autophagy-related differential expression genes (ARDEGs) in AA were identified by comparing the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the GSE68801 dataset with the ARGs. Then, we applied three different machine learning methods to identify key hub genes and further verified them on independent datasets. We used the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to evaluate the diagnostic potential of these hub genes and constructed a predictive nomogram. In addition, this study also used the consensus clustering method to define two AA subtypes and explored their immune characteristics and functional pathways through ssGSEA, MCPcounter and enrichment analysis. Experimental validation included qRT-PCR for four hub genes and Western blotting for critical autophagy markers. Our analysis detected 10 ARDEGs in AA. Applying three machine learning algorithms, we identified four candidate hub genes, , , and , and verified their expression patterns in independent cohorts. The combined four-gene model and nomogram showed potential diagnostic performance. Consensus cluster analysis divided AA cases into two subtypes, each associated with different immune infiltration and functional pathways. Downregulation of and and upregulation of were verified by qRT-PCR. Western blotting further suggested altered autophagy-related protein expression in AA lesions, characterized by a reduced LC3B-II/I ratio and Beclin-1 expression and increased SQSTM1 expression. This study identified four candidate autophagy-related genes and two exploratory molecular subtypes in AA and may provide clues for understanding autophagy-related immune dysregulation and support further validation of candidate diagnostic markers. - Source: PubMed
