Abcc1 and Ggt5 support lymphocyte guidance through export and catabolism of S-geranylgeranyl-l-glutathione.

ABSTRACT: P2RY8 promotes the confinement and growth regulation of germinal center (GC) B cells, and loss of human P2RY8 is associated with B cell lymphomagenesis. The metabolite S-geranylgeranyl-l-glutathione (GGG) is a P2RY8 ligand. The mechanisms controlling GGG distribution are poorly understood. Here, we show that gamma-glutamyltransferase-5 (Ggt5) expression in stromal cells was required for GGG catabolism and confinement of P2RY8-expressing cells to GCs. We identified the ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 1 (Abcc1) as a GGG transporter and showed that Abcc1 expression by hematopoietic cells was necessary for P2RY8-mediated GC confinement. Furthermore, we discovered that P2RY8 and GGG negatively regulated trafficking of B and T cells to the bone marrow (BM). P2RY8 loss-of-function human T cells increased their BM homing. By defining how GGG distribution was determined and identifying sites of P2RY8 activity, this work helps establish how disruptions in P2RY8 function contribute to lymphomagenesis and other disease states.

Project description:BackgroundGamma-glutamyltransferase 5 (GGT5), one of the two members in the GGT family (GGT1 and GGT5), plays a crucial role in oxidative regulation, inflammation promotion, and drug metabolism. Particularly in the tumorigenesis of various cancers, its significance has been recognized. Nevertheless, GGT5's role in gastric cancer (GC) remains ambiguous. This study delves into the function and prognostic significance of GGT5 in GC through a series of in vitro experiments.MethodsEmploying online bioinformatics analysis tools such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Kaplan-Meier plotter, and cBioPortal, we explored GGT5 characteristics and functions in GC. This encompassed aberrant expression, prognostic value, genomic alterations and mutations, immune cell infiltration, and associated signaling pathways. Immunohistochemistry was conducted to assess GGT5 expression in GC and adjacent normal tissues. Subsequently, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to investigate the associations between GGT5 and clinical characteristics. CCK8, wound healing, and migration assays were utilized to evaluate the impact of GGT5 on cell viability and migration. Additionally, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and Western blot analysis were performed to scrutinize the activity of the epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) signaling pathway under GGT5 regulation.ResultsGGT5 exhibits upregulation in gastric cancer, with its overexpression significantly linked to histological differentiation in GC patients (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicates that elevated GGT5 expression is an independent risk factor associated with poorer overall survival in gastric cancer patients (P < 0.05). In vitro experiments reveal that downregulation of GGT5 hampers the proliferation and migration of GC cell lines. Finally, GSEA using TCGA data highlights a significant correlation between GGT5 expression and genes associated with EMT, a finding further confirmed by Western blot analysis.ConclusionsGGT5 emerges as a promising prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for GC.
