Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) is defined by neurodegeneration, muscle atrophy, and bone deterioration, largely due to dopamine depletion. This study evaluates the therapeutic potential of heat-killed Enterococcus faecium FBL1 (HEF) in mitigating PD-related dysfunction through osteoblastogenesis and neurogenesis pathways. In the rotarod test, MPTP-treated mice exhibited a significant reduction in walking time, 4.1 times lower than that of the normal group. However, treatment with HDF notably improved the retention time, with a dose-dependent increase, compared to MPTP group. Wire-hanging test showed enhanced muscle strength, as HEF-treated mice demonstrated a 2.1- and 3.3-fold increase in the latency to fall at low and high doses, respectively, when compared to MPTP group. Grip strength and forced swim test, further supported the findings of neuromuscular recovery and reduced immobility in the HEF treated mice. The alpha-synuclein aggregation in the brain and muscle induced by MPTP were attenuated by HEF. Volcano plot analysis of muscle tissue revealed that MPTP treatment caused significant dysregulation, with 142 upregulated and 163 downregulated genes, including the downregulation of Wnt signaling-related genes Astn1 and Frat2, which are involved in neurogenesis and muscle regeneration. Conversely, the osteogenesis-related gene Pbx1 was upregulated by HEF, compared to MPTP treated group. Treatment with HEF also restored gene expression, notably increasing Tnxb, essential for tissue integrity, and Gsn, involved in various biological processes, compared with MPTP. Key markers of skeletal muscle differentiation (Myf5, MyoG, Myh1), osteoblastogenesis (Bmp2, Bmp4, SMAD1/5/8, RUNX2), and neurogenesis (Wnt3a, Beta-catenin, TCF1, LEF1) were downregulated in MPTP-induced PD but restored by HEF. Inflammatory markers (TNF-alpha, iNOS, and NF-kappaB) were significantly elevated in the MPTP group. However, these levels were reduced by HEF in a dose-dependently. This study highlights the pivotal role of osteoblastogenic (BMP/SMAD signaling) and neurogenic (Wnt signaling) pathways in maintaining muscle and bone homeostasis in PD. HEF offers a novel therapeutic approach targeting the BMP/SMAD and Wnt signaling pathways to mitigate muscle and bone degeneration in patients with PD.

Project description:Gene-specific transcription factors (GSTFs) control of gene transcription by DNA binding and specific protein complex recruitment, which regulates promoter accessibility for transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II. GSTFs that are frequently mutated in colon and rectal carcinomas are Suppressor of Mothers Against Decapentaplegic 2 (SMAD2) and SMAD4, which play an important role in the TGF-β signaling pathways controlling cell fate and proliferation (ref.). The SMAD protein family is a diverse and it can be divided into three subclasses: receptor activated SMADs, inhibitory SMADs and the common SMAD4 co-activator. To study protein interactors of the SMAD protein family we generated a quantitative proteomics pipeline that allows for inducible expression of GFP-tagged SMAD proteins followed by affinity purification and MS analysis. The nuclear importin IPO5 was identified as a novel interacting protein of SMAD1. Overexpression of IPO5 shows forced BMP R-SMAD nuclear localization confirming a functional relationship between BMP but not TGF-β R-SMADs and IPO5. Finally we provide evidence that the length of the lysine stretch in the NLS is involved in importin selection.

Project description:The canonical bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway plays a crucial regulatory role in tooth development by activating Smad proteins to regulate gene expression. We previously identified an atypical canonical BMP signaling in dental mesenchyme that is Smad4-independent but Smad1/5-dependent. This study demonstrates that phosphorylated Smad1/5 (pSmad1/5) and Smad4 regulate distinct gene sets in dental mesenchyme. Real-time monitoring of BMP-Smad transcriptional activity revealed that Smad4-dependent canonical BMP signaling is restricted to neurovascular cells surrounding the condensed dental mesenchymal cells where pSmad1/5 is present. Notably, pSmad1/5 in dental mesenchymal cells form complexes with pSmad3 to prevent canonical BMP signaling. CUT&RUN assays revealed genome-wide co-occupancy of pSmad1/5 and pSmad3, indicating their function as transcriptional regulation units. Integrative analyses demonstrated that this atypical canonical BMP signaling regulates tooth sensory innervation and maintains odontogenic inductive potential in dental mesenchyme, enabling the identification of critical genes for maintaining tooth inductive capability. Our findings elucidate the operating mechanism of atypical canonical BMP signaling in dental mesenchymal cells and clarify how BMP-Smad signaling exerts diverse functions across different cell types, informing future tooth bioengineering strategies.

Project description:SOX9 is well-known for its role in chondrogenesis and gonadogensis. Campomelic Dysplasia (CD) is an example of SOX9 haploinsufficiency-caused rare congenital disease, in which the patients are reported to have skeletal abnormalities. In this study, we created a hiPSC-modeling CD patient and investigated the effect of SOX9 on the regulation of chondrocyte differentiation in BMP-SMAD signaling in vitro. In the CD patient transcriptome, the BMP-SMAD signaling pathway and ribosome-related and chromosome segregation-related gene sets were altered. Upon further experimentation, noggin was found to be significantly upregulated in HT and HM mutants. The overexpression of SOX9 also showed upregulation in SOX9 and COL2A1. . We hope this finding can give a better picture of the dosage-dependent role of SOX9 in chondrogenesis and reveal the manifestation of skeletal dysplasia in CD patients, thereby helping to develop better drugs for these patients.

Project description:In Drosophila, efferent neurons gain access to a target-derived BMP signal in the periphery that is required for differentiation and/or synaptic growth and neurotransmission. This requires transcriptional activity of the BMP-activated Smad transcription factors, but the Smad-bound enhancers and BMP-regulated effector genes they control remain unidentified. In the absence of insight into how BMP signaling controls these fundamental aspects of neuronal development and function, here we test whether Smads act directly at widely-deployed archetypal Smad-binding motifs to directly co-regulate batteries of BMP-responsive genes. To target these motifs for analysis, we employed a bioinformatics approach to identify candidate motifs conforming to the consensus 15bp BMP-Activation Element (BMP-AE). After filtering for high conservation and proximity to neuronally-expressed genes, we prioritized 62 BMP-AEs for analysis. Testing the in vivo enhancer activity of 58 genomic fragments containing these BMP-AEs in transgenic reporters, we show that 61% are functional BMP enhancers in diverse motoneuron and neuropeptidergic neuronal populations, and that the BMP-AE motif itself is required for activity. Moreover, 60% of these functional BMP-AEs were located within 20kb of at least one BMP activated gene, as identified by RNAseq analysis. Finally, we show that the BMP-AE motif plays a conserved activator function in the vertebrate nervous system, by electroporation in the developing chick neural tube. Our results provide evidence that BMP signaling controls neuronal development and function by directly coordinating networks of genes through widespread deployment of conserved, consensus Smad-binding motifs.

Project description:The BMP/TGFβ-Smad, Notch and VEGF signaling guides formation of endothelial tip and stalk cells. However, the crosstalk of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) signaling has remained largely unknown. We demonstrate that BMP family members regulate VEGFR2 and Notch signaling, and act via TAZ-Hippo signaling pathway. BMPs were found to be regulated after VEGF gene transfer in C57/Bl6 mice and in a porcine myocardial ischemia model. BMPs 2/4/6 were identified as endothelium-specific targets of VEGF. BMP2 modulated VEGF-mediated endothelial sprouting via Delta like Canonical Notch Ligand 4 (DLL4). BMP6 modulated VEGF signaling by regulating VEGFR2 expression and acted via Hippo signaling effector TAZ, known to regulate cell survival/proliferation, and to be dysregulated in cancer. In a matrigel plug assay in nude mice BMP6 was further demonstrated to induce angiogenesis. BMP6 is the first member of BMP family found to directly regulate both Hippo signaling and neovessel formation. It may thus serve as a target in pro/anti-angiogenic therapies.
