Tissue factor (TF) is a cell surface protein critical for normal hemostasis and pathological thrombosis. Necroptosis is a form of regulated necrosis associated with different diseases. Here, we reported the identification of the first functional soluble tissue factor (sTF) in mediating blood coagulation, shed from the membrane full-length TF (flTF) by proteases, ADAMs, during necroptosis. By generating sTF-specific antibody and transgenic mice carrying knockin mutations at the ADAM cleavage site of TF (T211V212 mutated to E211E212), we demonstrated that this sTF is responsible for necroptosis-related thrombosis in inflammation and viral infection mouse models. Importantly, we showed that eliminating necroptosis or the cleavage of the flTF blocked the production of sTF and prevented thrombosis in mice. We also detected sTF in the plasma of human COVID-19 patients and showed that SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus induced sTF production. Our findings demonstrated that the sTF plays a major role in thrombosis under necroptosis-related pathological conditions and provided a diagnostic marker and potential therapies for treating thrombosis without affecting hemostasis.
组织因子(Tissue factor, TF)是一种对正常止血和病理性血栓形成至关重要的细胞表面蛋白。坏死性上睑下垂是一种与不同疾病相关的受调节的坏死。在这里,我们报道了在坏死坏死过程中,由蛋白酶ADAMs从膜全长TF (flTF)中脱落的第一个介导血液凝固的功能性可溶性组织因子(sTF)的鉴定。通过产生sTF特异性抗体和在TF的ADAM切割位点携带敲入基因突变的转基因小鼠(T211V212突变为E211E212),我们证明了该sTF在炎症和病毒感染小鼠模型中负责坏死相关血栓形成。重要的是,我们发现消除坏死下垂或flTF的切割可阻断小鼠sTF的产生并防止血栓形成。我们还在人类COVID-19患者的血浆中检测到sTF,并表明SARS-CoV-2假病毒诱导了sTF的产生。我们的研究结果表明,sTF在坏死相关病理条件下的血栓形成中起着重要作用,为不影响止血的治疗血栓形成提供了诊断标志和潜在的治疗方法。

The pre-dimerization of endosome-localized RNA sensor Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) is required for its innate recognition, yet how TLR3 pre-dimers are formed and precisely primed for innate activation remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that endosome-localized self RNA Rmrp directly binds to TLR3 and induces TLR3 dimerization in the early endosome but does not interact with endosome-localized TLR7, TLR8, TLR9 or cytoplasmic RNA sensor RIG-I under homeostatic conditions. Cryo-EM structure of Rmrp–TLR3 complex reveals a novel lapped conformation of TLR3 dimer engaged by Rmrp, which is distinct from the activation mechanism by dsRNA and the specific structural feature at the 3’-end of Rmrp is critical for its functional interaction with TLR3. Furthermore, K42 residue of TLR3 is essential for binding to Rmrp and subsequent dimerization. Rmrp dissociates from TLR3 following endosomal acidification, generating a matured TLR3 dimer which is primed for innate recognition and activation. Myeloid-cell deficiency of Rmrp reduces TLR3 dimerization and attenuates TLR3-mediated antiviral responses against influenza A both in vitro and in vivo. These findings elucidate the structural mode of self RNA Rmrp-primed TLR3 dimerization and ready for efficient innate recognition on endosomal membrane, extending our knowledge of how membrane-associated TLRs pre-dimerize and suggesting a new function of subcellular localized self RNAs in empowering innate activation.
内核体定位RNA传感器toll样受体3 (TLR3)的预二聚体是其先天识别所必需的,但TLR3的预二聚体是如何形成的,以及如何精确地为先天激活启动尚不清楚。在此,我们证明了内核体定位的自身RNA Rmrp直接与TLR3结合并在早期内核体中诱导TLR3二聚化,但在稳态条件下不与内核体定位的TLR7、TLR8、TLR9或细胞质RNA传感器rig - 1相互作用。Rmrp-TLR3复合物的cro - em结构揭示了Rmrp参与的TLR3二聚体的一种新的重叠构象,这与dsRNA的激活机制不同,Rmrp 3'端的特定结构特征对于其与TLR3的功能相互作用至关重要。此外,TLR3的K42残基对于Rmrp的结合和随后的二聚化是必不可少的。Rmrp在内体酸化后与TLR3分离,产生成熟的TLR3二聚体,为先天识别和激活做好准备。在体外和体内研究中,髓细胞Rmrp缺失可降低TLR3二聚体并减弱TLR3介导的抗甲型流感抗病毒反应。这些发现阐明了自身RNA rmrp引发的TLR3二聚化的结构模式,并准备好在内体膜上进行有效的先天识别,扩展了我们对膜相关TLRs如何预二聚化的认识,并提示亚细胞定位的自身RNA在增强先天激活方面的新功能。

Tumors evolve to avoid immune destruction and establish an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Syngeneic mouse tumor models are critical for understanding tumor immune evasion and testing cancer immunotherapy. Derived from established mouse tumor cell lines that can already evade the immune system, these models cannot simulate early phases of immunoediting during initial tumorigenesis. We developed a syngeneic mouse teratoma model derived from noncancerous mouse embryonic stem cells and conducted a genome-wide CRISPR screen to identify genes that impact early phases of cancer immunoediting. We found that loss of pro-apoptotic tumor suppressor genes, including Trp53, increased necrosis in teratomas, releasing APOE lipid particles into the extracellular milieu. Infiltrating T cells drawn to tumor necrotic regions accumulated lipids and became dysfunctional. Blocking lipid uptake in T cells or reducing necrosis in teratomas by inactivating the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) restored immunosurveillance. Because mouse teratomas were highly enriched for brain tissues, we next examined the tumor-immune interaction in human glioblastoma (GBM). Indeed, infiltrating T cells in TP53-mutated human GBM accumulated APOE and were dysfunctional. Anti-APOE and anti-PDCD1 antibodies synergistically boosted anti-GBM immunity and prolonged survival in mice. Our results link mPTP-mediated tumor necrosis to immune evasion and suggest that targeting the uptake of lipids released by necrotic tumor cells by infiltrating immune cells can enhance cancer immunotherapy.
肿瘤进化以避免免疫破坏并建立免疫抑制微环境。同基因小鼠肿瘤模型是了解肿瘤免疫逃避和测试癌症免疫治疗的关键。这些模型来源于已经建立的小鼠肿瘤细胞系,这些细胞系已经可以逃避免疫系统,因此不能模拟初始肿瘤发生过程中免疫编辑的早期阶段。我们开发了一种来自非癌小鼠胚胎干细胞的同基因小鼠畸胎瘤模型,并进行了全基因组CRISPR筛选,以确定影响癌症免疫编辑早期阶段的基因。我们发现,包括Trp53在内的促凋亡肿瘤抑制基因的缺失会增加畸胎瘤的坏死,将APOE脂质颗粒释放到细胞外环境中。浸润性T细胞被吸引到肿瘤坏死区域积聚脂质并变得功能失调。通过使线粒体通透性过渡孔(mPTP)失活,阻断T细胞脂质摄取或减少畸胎瘤坏死,可恢复免疫监视功能。由于小鼠畸胎瘤在脑组织中高度富集,我们接下来研究了人类胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)的肿瘤-免疫相互作用。事实上,tp53突变的人GBM中浸润的T细胞积累了APOE,并且功能失调。抗apoe和抗pdcd1抗体协同增强抗gbm免疫,延长小鼠生存期。我们的研究结果将mptp介导的肿瘤坏死与免疫逃避联系起来,并表明通过浸润免疫细胞靶向坏死肿瘤细胞释放的脂质摄取可以增强癌症免疫治疗。

The brain’s hemispheres exhibit profound lateralization, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Using proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of the bilateral striatum — a hub for important brain functions and a common node of autism pathophysiology — we identified significant phosphorylation asymmetries. Particularly, the phosphorylation processes in the left striatum appear more prone to disturbance. Notably, SH3RF2, whose single-copy knockout leads to autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-like behaviors in mice, is uniquely expressed in the striatum, forming a complex with CaMKII (an ASD-associated protein) and PPP1CC. Loss of SH3RF2 disturbs the CaMKII/PP1 “switch”, resulting in hyperactivity of CaMKII and increased phosphorylation of its substrate GluR1. In Sh3rf2-deficient mice, heightened GluR1-Ser831 phosphorylation and its aberrant postsynaptic membrane localization in the left striatum may impair the functional lateralization of striatal neurons and contribute to autism-like behaviors. This study unveils the first molecular mechanism governing brain lateralization in mammals, linking its impairment to autism development and treatment strategies.
大脑的两个半球表现出深刻的偏侧化,但其潜在的机制仍然难以捉摸。通过对双侧纹状体的蛋白质组学和磷酸化蛋白质组学分析,我们发现了显著的磷酸化不对称。双侧纹状体是重要脑功能的中心,也是自闭症病理生理的共同节点。特别是,左纹状体的磷酸化过程似乎更容易受到干扰。值得注意的是,SH3RF2,其单拷贝敲除导致小鼠自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)样行为,在纹状体中唯一表达,与CaMKII(一种ASD相关蛋白)和PPP1CC形成复合物。SH3RF2的缺失扰乱了CaMKII/PP1“开关”,导致CaMKII过度活跃,其底物GluR1磷酸化增加。在sh3rp2缺失的小鼠中,左侧纹状体中GluR1-Ser831磷酸化的升高及其突触后膜定位的异常可能会损害纹状体神经元的功能侧化,并导致自闭症样行为。这项研究首次揭示了哺乳动物大脑偏侧化的分子机制,将其损伤与自闭症的发展和治疗策略联系起来。

Structural insights into the vitamin K-dependent γ-carboxylation of osteocalcin 对维生素k依赖性骨钙素γ-羧化的结构见解

The γ-carboxylation state of osteocalcin determines its essential functions in bone mineralization or systemic metabolism and serves as a prominent biomarker for bone health and vitamin K nutrition. This post-translational modification of glutamate residues is catalyzed by the membrane-embedded vitamin K-dependent γ-carboxylase (VKGC), which typically recognizes protein substrates through their tightly bound propeptide that triggers γ-carboxylation. However, the osteocalcin propeptide exhibits negligible affinity for VKGC. To understand the underlying molecular mechanism, we determined the cryo-electron microscopy structures of VKGC with osteocalcin carrying a native propeptide or a high-affinity variant at different carboxylation states. The structures reveal a large chamber in VKGC that maintains uncarboxylated and partially carboxylated osteocalcin in partially unfolded conformations, allowing their glutamate-rich region and C-terminal helices to engage with VKGC at multiple sites. Binding of this mature region together with the low-affinity propeptide effectively stimulates VKGC activity, similar to high-affinity propeptides that differ only in closely fitting interactions. However, the low-affinity propeptide renders osteocalcin prone to undercarboxylation at low vitamin K levels, thereby serving as a discernible biomarker. Overall, our studies reveal the unique interaction of osteocalcin with VKGC and provide a framework for designing therapeutic strategies targeting osteocalcin-related bone and metabolic disorders.
骨钙素的γ-羧化状态决定了其在骨矿化或全身代谢中的基本功能,是骨骼健康和维生素K营养的重要生物标志物。这种谷氨酸残基的翻译后修饰是由膜嵌入的维生素k依赖性γ-羧化酶(VKGC)催化的,该酶通常通过紧密结合的前肽来识别蛋白质底物,从而触发γ-羧化。然而,骨钙素前肽对VKGC的亲和力可以忽略不计。为了了解潜在的分子机制,我们测定了骨钙素携带天然前肽或高亲和力变体在不同羧化状态下的VKGC的冷冻电镜结构。这些结构揭示了VKGC中的一个大腔室,该腔室将未羧化和部分羧化的骨钙素维持在部分展开的构象中,允许其富含谷氨酸的区域和c端螺旋在多个位点与VKGC结合。这一成熟区域与低亲和力前肽结合可有效刺激VKGC活性,类似于高亲和力前肽,其区别仅在于紧密配合的相互作用。然而,低亲和力的前肽使骨钙素在低维生素K水平下易于羧化,从而作为可识别的生物标志物。总之,我们的研究揭示了骨钙素与VKGC的独特相互作用,并为设计针对骨钙素相关骨和代谢紊乱的治疗策略提供了框架。

This post-translational modification of glutamate residues is catalyzed by the membrane-embedded vitamin K-dependent γ-carboxylase (VKGC), which typically recognizes protein substrates through their tightly bound propeptide that triggers γ-carboxylation. However, the osteocalcin propeptide exhibits negligible affinity for VKGC. To understand the underlying molecular mechanism, we determined the cryo-electron microscopy structures of VKGC with osteocalcin carrying a native propeptide or a high-affinity variant at different carboxylation states. The structures reveal a large chamber in VKGC that maintains uncarboxylated and partially carboxylated osteocalcin in partially unfolded conformations, allowing their glutamate-rich region and C-terminal helices to engage with VKGC at multiple sites. Binding of this mature region together with the low-affinity propeptide effectively stimulates VKGC activity, similar to high-affinity propeptides that differ only in closely fitting interactions. However, the low-affinity propeptide renders osteocalcin prone to undercarboxylation at low vitamin K levels, thereby serving as a discernible biomarker. Overall, our studies reveal the unique interaction of osteocalcin with VKGC and provide a framework for designing therapeutic strategies targeting osteocalcin-related bone and metabolic disorders.","PeriodicalId":9926,"journal":{"name":"Cell Research","volume":"35 10","pages":"735-749"},"PeriodicalIF":25.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144928541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The absence of stem cells capable of efficiently generating both trophoblast and epiblast lineages has hindered precise recapitulation of embryonic development. Through high-content chemical screening, we established an (AS and LY) AL medium to generate mouse bidirectional pluripotent stem cells (BPSCs) characterized by concurrent expression of OCT4 and CDX2. Mouse BPSCs demonstrated highly plastic differentiation into trophoblast, epiblast and primitive endoderm (PrE) lineages in vitro within 48 h without exogenous inducing factors and efficiently contributed to embryonic and extraembryonic tissues in vivo. Mechanistically, hyperactivation of the Wnt signaling pathway breaks the early lineage differentiation barrier by initiating a Lef1-dependent bypass. Remarkably, integration of BPSCs with PrE induction system enables high-efficiency generation of E8.5-stage embryo models. These advanced models complete gastrulation and recapitulate definitive developmental milestones including brain morphogenesis, neural tube closure, cardiac contraction, somite patterning, and primordial germ cell specification. Moreover, human cells cultured under AL conditions acquire an OCT4 and CDX2 double-positive state and corresponding gene expression profiles, revealing conserved functionality of this culturing platform across species. These findings highlight BPSCs as a powerful tool for investigating early lineage specification and post-gastrulation embryonic development.
缺乏能够有效地产生滋养细胞和外胚层谱系的干细胞阻碍了胚胎发育的精确再现。通过高含量的化学筛选,我们建立了一种(AS和LY) AL培养基,用于生成以OCT4和CDX2同时表达为特征的小鼠双向多能干细胞(BPSCs)。小鼠BPSCs在体外无外源诱导的情况下,可在48 h内高度分化为滋养细胞、外胚层和原始内胚层(PrE)谱系,并在体内有效地促进胚胎和胚胎外组织的形成。机制上,Wnt信号通路的过度激活通过启动lef1依赖性旁路打破了早期谱系分化障碍。值得注意的是,将bpsc与PrE诱导系统相结合,可以高效地生成e8.5期胚胎模型。这些先进的模型完成了原肠胚形成,概括了最终的发育里程碑,包括脑形态发生,神经管闭合,心脏收缩,体模式和原始生殖细胞规范。此外,在AL条件下培养的人类细胞获得OCT4和CDX2双阳性状态和相应的基因表达谱,揭示了该培养平台跨物种的保守功能。这些发现强调了bpsc作为研究早期谱系规范和原肠胚形成后胚胎发育的有力工具。
