未折叠蛋白应答与疾病的关系

在Ca2 稳态平衡紊乱、葡萄糖饥饿、错误折叠蛋白质的表达、蛋白质糖基化的抑制或胆固醇合成超载等胁迫条件下,会导致内质网内积累大量的未折叠蛋白质,形成内质网应激(endoplasmic reticulum stress,ERS),对细胞产生根本性的危害。在应激条件下,内质网会产生未折叠蛋白应答(unfolded protein responseUPR),通过改变细胞的转录和翻译过程来缓解内质网应激,维持细胞功能;但是,如果细胞长时间处于UPR条件下,则会诱导细胞凋亡。

未折叠蛋白反应的信号转导

在内质网中,分泌性蛋白、跨膜蛋白和内质网驻留蛋白折叠成天然构象,经过修饰后,形成有活性的功能性蛋白质。如果蛋白质在内质网内的折叠受到抑制,造成未折叠蛋白聚集,将引起内质网应激。激活未折叠蛋白反应（unfolded protein response,UPR）,使蛋白质的生物合成减少,内质网的降解功能增强,从而降低内质网负担,维持细胞内的稳态。如果内质网应激持续存在,则可能诱发细胞凋亡。研究表明,未折叠蛋白反应能在多种肿瘤细胞中发生,并能促进肿瘤细胞的生长。本文对未折叠蛋白反应与肿瘤研究的最新进展进行综述。

Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor-H1 Regulates Cell Migration via Localized Activation of RhoA at the Leading Edge

Cell migration involves the cooperative reorganization of the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons, as well as the turnover of cell–substrate adhesions, under the control of Rho family GTPases. RhoA is activated at the leading edge of motile cells by unknown mechanisms to control actin stress fiber assembly, contractility, and focal adhesion dynamics. The microtubule-associated guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF)-H1 activates RhoA when released from microtubules to initiate a RhoA/Rho kinase/myosin light chain signaling pathway that regulates cellular contractility. However, the contributions of activated GEF-H1 to coordination of cytoskeletal dynamics during cell migration are unknown. We show that small interfering RNA-induced GEF-H1 depletion leads to decreased HeLa cell directional migration due to the loss of the Rho exchange activity of GEF-H1. Analysis of RhoA activity by using a live cell biosensor revealed that GEF-H1 controls localized activation of RhoA at the leading edge. The loss of GEF-H1 is associated with altered leading edge actin dynamics, as well as increased focal adhesion lifetimes. Tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase and paxillin at residues critical for the regulation of focal adhesion dynamics was diminished in the absence of GEF-H1/RhoA signaling. This study establishes GEF-H1 as a critical organizer of key structural and signaling components of cell migration through the localized regulation of RhoA activity at the cell leading edge.     

RhoA and ROCK promote migration by limiting membrane protrusions

Previously, we and others have shown that RhoA and ROCK signaling are required for negatively regulating integrin-mediated adhesion and for tail retraction of migrating leukocytes. This study continues our investigation into the molecular mechanisms underlying RhoA/ROCK-regulated integrin adhesion. We show that inhibition of ROCK up-regulates integrin-mediated adhesion, which is accompanied by both increased phosphotyrosine signaling through Pyk-2 and paxillin and inappropriate membrane protrusions. We provide evidence that inhibition of ROCK induces integrin adhesion by promoting remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton. Furthermore, we find that ROCK regulates membrane activity through a pathway involving cofilin. Inhibition of RhoA signaling allows the formation of multiple competing lamellipodia that disrupt productive migration of monocytes. Together, our results show that RhoA/ROCK signaling promotes migration by restricting integrin activity and membrane protrusions to the leading edge.     

Regulation of microtubules in cell migration

Directional cell migration is a fundamental process in all organisms that is stringently regulated during tissue development, chemotaxis and wound healing. Migrating cells have a polarized morphology with an asymmetrical distribution of signaling molecules and the cytoskeleton. Microtubules are indispensable for the directional migration of certain cells. Recent studies have shown that Rho family GTPases, which are key regulators of cell migration, affect microtubules, in addition to the actin cytoskeleton and adhesion. Rho family GTPases capture and stabilize microtubules through their effectors at the cell cortex, leading to a polarized microtubule array; in turn, microtubules modulate the activities of Rho family GTPases. In this article, we discuss how a polarized microtubule array is established and how microtubules facilitate cell migration.     

The RhoGEF TEM4 Regulates Endothelial Cell Migration by Suppressing Actomyosin Contractility

Persistent cellular migration requires efficient protrusion of the front of the cell, the leading edge where the actin cytoskeleton and cell-substrate adhesions undergo constant rearrangement. Rho family GTPases are essential regulators of the actin cytoskeleton and cell adhesion dynamics. Here, we examined the role of the RhoGEF TEM4, an activator of Rho family GTPases, in regulating cellular migration of endothelial cells. We found that TEM4 promotes the persistence of cellular migration by regulating the architecture of actin stress fibers and cell-substrate adhesions in protruding membranes. Furthermore, we determined that TEM4 regulates cellular migration by signaling to RhoC as suppression of RhoC expression recapitulated the loss-of-TEM4 phenotypes, and RhoC activation was impaired in TEM4-depleted cells. Finally, we showed that TEM4 and RhoC antagonize myosin II-dependent cellular contractility and the suppression of myosin II activity rescued the persistence of cellular migration of TEM4-depleted cells. Our data implicate TEM4 as an essential regulator of the actin cytoskeleton that ensures proper membrane protrusion at the leading edge of migrating cells and efficient cellular migration via suppression of actomyosin contractility.     

Positive feedback interactions between microtubule and actin dynamics during cell motility

The migration of tissue cells requires interplay between the microtubule and actin cytoskeletal systems. Recent reports suggest that interactions of microtubules with actin dynamics creates a polarization of microtubule assembly behavior in cells, such that microtubule growth occurs at the leading edge and microtubule shortening occurs at the cell body and rear. Microtubule growth and shortening may activate Rac1 and RhoA signaling, respectively, to control actin dynamics. Thus, an actin-dependent gradient in microtubule dynamic-instability parameters in cells may feed back through the activation of specific signalling pathways to perpetuate the polarized actin-assembly dynamics required for cell motility.     

Regulation of substrate adhesion dynamics during cell motility

The movement of a metazoan cell entails the regulated creation and turnover of adhesions with the surface on which it moves. Adhesion sites form as a result of signaling between the extracellular matrix on the outside and the actin cytoskeleton on the inside, and they are associated with specific assembles of actin filaments. Two broad categories of adhesion sites can be distinguished: (1) "focal complexes" associated with lamellipodia and filopodia that support protrusion and traction at the cell front; and (2) "focal adhesions" at the termini of stress fibre bundles that serve in longer term anchorage. Focal complexes are signaled via Rac1 or Cdc42 and can either turnover on a minute scale or differentiate, via intervention of the RhoA pathway, into longer-lived focal adhesions. All classes of adhesion sites depend on the stress in the actin cytoskeleton for their formation and maintenance. Different cell types use different adhesion strategies to move, in terms of the relative engagement of filopodia and lamellipodia in focal complex formation and protrusion and the extent of focal adhesion formation. These differences can be attributed to variations in the relative activities of Rho family members. However, the Rho GTPases alone are unable to signal asymmetry in the actin cytoskeleton, necessary for polarisation and movement. Polarisation requires the collaboration of the microtubule cytoskeleton. Changes in the polymerisation state of microtubules influences the activities of both Rac1 and RhoA and microtubules interact directly with adhesion foci and promote their turnover. Possible mechanisms of cross-talk between the microtubule and actin cytoskeletons in determining polarity are discussed.     

RhoE Regulates Actin Cytoskeleton Organization and Cell Migration

The actin cytoskeleton is regulated by Rho family proteins: in fibroblasts, Rho mediates the formation of actin stress fibers, whereas Rac regulates lamellipodium formation and Cdc42 controls filopodium formation. We have cloned the mouse RhoE gene, whose product is a member of the Rho family that shares (except in one amino acid) the conserved effector domain of RhoA, RhoB, and RhoC. RhoE is able to bind GTP but does not detectably bind GDP and has low intrinsic GTPase activity compared with Rac. The role of RhoE in regulating actin organization was investigated by microinjection in Bac1.2F5 macrophages and MDCK cells. In macrophages, RhoE induced actin reorganization, leading to the formation of extensions resembling filopodia and pseudopodia. In MDCK cells, RhoE induced the complete disappearance of stress fibers, together with cell spreading. However, RhoE did not detectably affect the actin bundles that run parallel to the outer membranes of cells at the periphery of colonies, which are known to be dependent on RhoA. In addition, RhoE induced an increase in the speed of migration of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor-stimulated MDCK cells, in contrast to the previously reported inhibition produced by activated RhoA. The subcellular localization of RhoE at the lateral membranes of MDCK cells suggests a role in cell-cell adhesion, as has been shown for RhoA. These results suggest that RhoE may act to inhibit signalling downstream of RhoA, altering some RhoA-regulated responses, such as stress fiber formation, but not affecting others, such as peripheral actin bundle formation.     

APC nuclear membrane association and microtubule polarity.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Directional cell migration is a fundamental feature of embryonic development, the inflammatory response and the metastatic spread of cancer. Migrating cells have a polarized morphology with an asymmetric distribution of signalling molecules and of the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons. The dynamic reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton provides the major driving force for migration in all mammalian cell types, but microtubules also play an important role in many cells, most notably neuronal precursors. RESULTS: We previously showed, using primary fibroblasts and astrocytes in in vitro scratch-induced migration assays, that the accumulation of APC (adenomatous polyposis coli; the APC tumour suppressor protein) at microtubule plus-ends promotes their association with the plasma membrane at the leading edge. This is required for polarization of the microtubule cytoskeleton during directional migration. Here, we have examined the organization of microtubules in the soma of migrating neurons and fibroblasts. CONCLUSIONS: We find that APC, through a direct interaction with the NPC (nuclear pore complex) protein Nup153 (nucleoporin 153), promotes the association of microtubules with the nuclear membrane.     

Cdc42 and RhoA are differentially regulated during arachidonate-mediated HeLa cell adhesion

Cell adhesion to extracellular matrix requires stimulation of an eicosanoid signaling pathway through the metabolism of arachidonate by 5-lipoxygenase to leukotrienes and cyclooxygenase-1/2 to prostaglandins, as well as activation of the small GTPase signaling pathway involving Cdc42 and Rho. These signaling pathways direct remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton during the adhesion process, specifically the polymerization of actin during cell spreading and the bundling of actin filaments when cells migrate. However, few studies linking these signaling pathways have been described in the literature. We have previously shown that HeLa cell adhesion to collagen requires oxidation of arachidonic acid (AA) by lipoxygenase for actin polymerization and cell spreading, and cyclooxygenase for bundling actin filaments during cell migration. We demonstrate that small GTPase activity is required for HeLa cell spreading upon gelatin, and that Cdc42 is activated while Rho is downregulated during the spreading process. Using constitutively active and dominant negative expression studies, we show that Cdc42 is required for HeLa cell spreading and migration, while activated RhoA is antagonistic towards spreading. Constitutively active RhoA promotes cell migration and increases the degree of actin bundling in HeLa cells. Further, we demonstrate that activation of either the AA oxidation pathway or the small GTPase pathway cannot rescue inhibition of spreading when the alternate pathway is blocked. Our results suggest (1) both the eicosanoid signaling pathway and small GTPase activation are required during HeLa cell adhesion, and (2) these signaling pathways converge to properly direct remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton during HeLa cell spreading and migration upon collagen.
