背景:真核细胞表面的初级纤毛充当各种细胞信号传导途径中接收和传输的感觉天线。它们是在分化和细胞周期退出过程中迅速形成的动态细胞器。这些细胞器的缺陷会导致一组广泛的疾病,称为纤毛病。张力响应增强子结合蛋白(TonEBP)是一种多效性应激蛋白,可介导各种生理和病理细胞反应。TonEBP因其在适应高渗环境中的作用而闻名,据报道,初级纤毛对此有贡献。此外,TonEBP参与多种其他信号通路,例如SonicHedgehog和WNT信令,促进原发性纤毛生成,暗示可能的调节作用。然而,TonEBP与原发性纤毛形成之间的功能关系尚不清楚。
方法:使用TonEBPsiRNA和TonEBP-mCherry质粒检查它们对细胞分化率的影响,组装和拆卸过程,和监管者。血清饥饿被用作诱导纤毛发生的条件。
结果:我们确定了一种新的TonEBP的中心周围定位。结果表明,TonEBP耗竭有利于初级纤毛的形成,而其过度表达导致更少的纤毛细胞。此外,TonEBP控制极光激酶A的表达和活性,纤毛生成的主要负调节剂。此外,在初级纤毛组装的早期阶段,TonEBP过表达抑制了CP110从母体中心粒的丢失。最后,TonEBP调节PCM1和AZI1的定位,这是初级纤毛形成所必需的。
结论:这项研究提出了TonEBP作为一种调节中心粒卫星成分完整性的中心周蛋白的新作用。这种调节已显示对纤毛生成有负面影响。对纤毛组装和拆卸过程的研究表明,TonEBP作用于极光激酶A-组蛋白脱乙酰酶6信号通路的上游,并影响基体形成以控制纤毛发生。一起来看,我们的数据提出了TonEBP对原发性纤毛组装的先前未表征的调节。
BACKGROUND: Primary cilia on the surface of eukaryotic cells serve as sensory antennas for the reception and transmission in various cell signaling pathways. They are dynamic organelles that rapidly form during differentiation and cell cycle exit. Defects in these organelles cause a group of wide-ranging disorders called ciliopathies. Tonicity-responsive enhancer-binding protein (TonEBP) is a pleiotropic stress protein that mediates various physiological and pathological cellular responses. TonEBP is well-known for its role in adaptation to a hypertonic environment, to which primary cilia have been reported to contribute. Furthermore, TonEBP is involved in a wide variety of other signaling pathways, such as Sonic Hedgehog and WNT signaling, that promote primary
ciliogenesis, suggesting a possible regulatory role. However, the functional relationship between TonEBP and primary ciliary formation remains unclear.
METHODS: TonEBP siRNAs and TonEBP-mCherry plasmids were used to examine their effects on cell ciliation rates, assembly and disassembly processes, and regulators. Serum starvation was used as a condition to induce
ciliogenesis.
RESULTS: We identified a novel pericentriolar localization for TonEBP. The results showed that TonEBP depletion facilitates the formation of primary cilia, whereas its overexpression results in fewer ciliated cells. Moreover, TonEBP controlled the expression and activity of aurora kinase A, a major negative regulator of
ciliogenesis. Additionally, TonEBP overexpression inhibited the loss of CP110 from the mother centrioles during the early stages of primary cilia assembly. Finally, TonEBP regulated the localization of PCM1 and AZI1, which are necessary for primary cilia formation.
CONCLUSIONS: This study proposes a novel role for TonEBP as a pericentriolar protein that regulates the integrity of centriolar satellite components. This regulation has shown to have a negative effect on
ciliogenesis. Investigations into cilium assembly and disassembly processes suggest that TonEBP acts upstream of the aurora kinase A - histone deacetylase 6 signaling pathway and affects basal body formation to control
ciliogenesis. Taken together, our data proposes previously uncharacterized regulation of primary cilia assembly by TonEBP.
