Abstract
Our recent study suggests that FBXW7 loss of function plays a critical function in esophageal cancer. However, the mechanism of FBXW7 in promoting esophageal cancer is still unclear. Here, we explored the interaction protein of FBXW7 by screening of GST-pulldown and LC-MS/MS analysis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and identified ANXA2 as a potential target of FBXW7. FBXW7 loss of function could restore the expression of ANXA2 and promote the malignant biological characteristics of ESCC cells in vitro. Up-regulation of ANXA2 enhances the ERK pathway in ESCC. Furthermore, the 23rd tyrosine residue of ANXA2, phosphorylated by SRC, was regarded as playing important roles in the FBXW7-related degradation system. In clinical samples, we found that ANXA2 had high expression in ESCC tissues. High ANXA2 was associated with poor tumor staging. More importantly, we designed a combination regimen including SCH779284, a clinical ERK inhibitor against the phosphorylation of EKR and siRNA targeting ANXA2 by intratumor injection, and it produced potent inhibitory effects on the growth of xenograft tumors in vivo. In conclusion, this study provided evidence that FBXW7 loss of function could promote esophageal cancer through ANXA2 overexpression, and this novel regulation pathway may be used as an efficient target for ESCC treatment.

Abstract
Background The clinical manifestations of pre-eclampsia are related to placental anti-angiogenic factor alteration. These variations are mainly due to the alteration of plasminolytic components. The study aims to compare the expression of plasminolytic components in the placenta of women with and without pre-eclampsia. Material and Methods The study included pregnant women with pre-eclampsia as PE group (n = 30) and without pre-eclampsia as a control group (n = 30). Placental bed biopsy tissues were collected. AnxA2, tPA, PAI-1 expression in the placental villous tissue was quantitatively evaluated using immunohistochemistry, western blot, and real time-PCR analysis. Results The results of the study showed a significant decrease in the expression of ANXA2 and increased expression of tPA and PAI-1 in PE group compared to control group (p<0.005). AnxA2 expression showed positive correlation with tPA (r=+0.895, p=0.002) and negative correlation with PAI-1(r=-0.905, p=0.020) in control group whereas in the PE group AnxA2 expression was negatively correlated with tPA ((r=-0.801, p=0.016) and PAI-1 (R=-0.831, P=0.010). Conclusion Decreased AnxA2 with increased expression of PAI-1 and tPA may be responsible for the altered fibrinolytic activity and play a significant role in pre-eclampsia pathogenesis.

FASEB J 2023; 37:e22715.

Abstract
The intersection of protein and lipid biology is of growing importance for understanding how cells address structural challenges during adhesion and migration. While protein complexes engaged with the cytoskeleton play a vital role, support from the phospholipid membrane is crucial for directing localization and assembly of key protein complexes. During angiogenesis, dramatic cellular remodeling is necessary for endothelial cells to shift from a stable monolayer to invasive structures. However, the molecular dynamics between lipids and proteins during endothelial invasion are not defined. Here, we utilized cell culture, immunofluorescence, and lipidomic analyses to identify a novel role for the membrane binding protein Annexin A2 (ANXA2) in modulating the composition of specific membrane lipids necessary for cortical F-actin organization and adherens junction stabilization. In the absence of ANXA2, there is disorganized cortical F-actin, reduced junctional Arp2, excess sprout initiation, and ultimately failed sprout maturation. Furthermore, we observed reduced filipin III labeling of membrane cholesterol in cells with reduced ANXA2, suggesting there is an alteration in phospholipid membrane dynamics. Lipidomic analyses revealed that 42 lipid species were altered with loss of ANXA2, including an accumulation of phosphatidylcholine (16:0_16:0). We found that supplementation of phosphatidylcholine (16:0_16:0) in wild-type endothelial cells mimicked the ANXA2 knock-down phenotype, indicating that ANXA2 regulated the phospholipid membrane upstream of Arp2 recruitment and organization of cortical F-actin. Altogether, these data indicate a novel role for ANXA2 in coordinating events at endothelial junctions needed to initiate sprouting and show that proper lipid modulation is a critical component of these events.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is frequently found in chronic diabetic patients, and it results in an increased risk of bone fractures occurring. The underlying mechanism of osteoporosis in diabetic patients is still largely unknown. Annexin A2 (ANXA2), a family of calcium-binding proteins, has been reported to be involved in many biological process including bone remodeling. This study aimed to investigate the role of ANXA2 in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) during in vitro osteoinduction under high-glucose concentrations. Osteogenic gene expression, calcium deposition, and cellular senescence were determined. The high-glucose conditions reduced the osteogenic differentiation potential of the MSCs along with the lower expression of ANXA2. Moreover, the high-glucose conditions increased the cellular senescence of the MSCs as determined by senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining and the expression of p16, p21, and p53 genes. The addition of recombinant ANXA2 could recover the glucose-induced deterioration of the osteogenic differentiation of the MSCs and ameliorate the glucose-induced cellular senescence of the MSCs. A Western blot analysis revealed an increase in p53 and phosphorylated p53 (Ser 15), which was decreased by recombinant ANXA2 in MSC osteoblastic differentiation under high-glucose conditions. Our study suggested that the alteration of ANXA2 in high-glucose conditions may be one of the plausible factors in the deterioration of bones in diabetic patients by triggering cellular senescence.

Abstract
Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) is an important pathogen of the bovine respiratory disease complex, invading lower respiratory tracts and causing severe pneumonia. However, its molecular mechanism largely remains unknown. Host annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein. The current study sought to determine whether ANXA2 could mediate M. bovis adhesion and invasion thereby affecting its induction of inflammatory response. ANXA2 expression was upregulated in M. bovis-infected bovine lung epithelial cells (EBL), and blocking ANXA2 with an anti-ANXA2 antibody reduced M. bovis adhesion to EBL. Compared with uninfected cells, more ANXA2 was translocated from the cytoplasm to the cell surface after M. bovis infection. Furthermore, RNA interference knockdown of ANXA2 expression in EBL cells resulted in a significant decrease in M. bovis invasion and F-actin polymerization. Next, the transcriptomic study of M. bovis-infected EBL cells with and without ANXA2 knockdown were performed. The data exhibited that ANXA2 knockdown EBL cells had 2487 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with 1175 upregulated and 1312 downregulated compared to control. According to GO and KEGG analyses, 50 genes potentially linked to inflammatory responses, 23 involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) receptor interaction, and 48 associated with PI3K-AKT signal pathways were upregulated, while 38 mRNA binding genes, 16 mRNA 3′-UTR binding genes, and 34 RNA transport genes were downregulated. Furthermore, 19 genes with various change-folds were selected for qPCR verification, and the results agreed with the RNA-seq findings. Above all, the transcription of two chemokines (IL-8 and CXCL5) and a key bovine β-defensin TAP in IL-17 signaling pathway were significantly increased in ANXA2 knockdown cells. Moreover, ANXA2 knockdown or knockout could increase NF-κB and MAPK phosphorylation activity in response to M. bovis infection. Additionally, ANXA2 knockdown also significantly decreased the CD44 transcripts via exon V3 and V7 skipping after M. bovis infection. We concluded that M. bovis borrowed host ANXA2 to mediate its adhesion and invasion thereby negatively regulating molecular expression essential to IL-17 signal pathway. Furthermore, CD44 V3 and V7 isoforms might contribute to this ANXA2 meditated processes in M. bovis infected EBL cells. These findings revealed a new understanding of pathogenesis for M. bovis infection.

Cancer Rep (Hoboken) 2022; 5:e1498.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a type I transmembrane and glycosylated protein, which is overexpressed in many neoplasms. However, EpCAM has no known ligand partners and the mechanisms by which it functions are not fully understood. AIM This study was performed to discover novel partners of EpCAM, which may provide a better understanding of its functions. METHODS The membrane fraction of the ERα+ noninvasive breast cancer cell line ZR-75-1 and MCF-7 was extracted and followed by co-immunoprecipitation of EpCAM using C-10, a mouse monoclonal antibody raised against amino acids 24-93 of the EpCAM molecule. As a negative control, MDA-MB-231 and Hs578T were used since they express a negligible amount of EpCAM and are known as EpCAM-/low ERα-/low invasive and tumorigenic breast cancer cell lines. RESULTS Annexin A2 (ANXA2) was found to be selectively and differentially co-immunoprecipitated with EpCAM in the ERα+ breast cancer cells MCF-7 and ZR-75-1. ANXA2 is a multifunctional protein and known to act as a co-receptor for tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) on the surface of endothelial and cancer cells, thereby affecting fibrinolytic activity and neoangiogenesis as well as invasive and metastatic properties. In this study, the association between EpCAM and ANXA2 was found to affect the activity of tPA. CONCLUSION This study concludes that ANXA2 co-localizes with EpCAM at the plasma membrane, and the co-localization may have functional implications. Data suggest that EpCAM supports ANXA2 to function as a co-receptor for the tPA, and that EpCAM has a regulatory function on the expression and subcellular localization of ANXA2.

Abstract
Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) is the major cause of chronic infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in patients. However, whether and how HBV crosses the placenta to cause infection in utero remains unclear. In this study, we investigate the mechanism as to how the HBV virions pass through layers of the trophoblast. Our data demonstrate the exocytosis of virions from the trophoblast after exposure to HBV where the endocytosed HBV virions co-localized with an S100A10/AnxA2 complex and LC3, an autophagosome membrane marker. Knockdown of either AnxA2 or S100A10 in trophoblast cells led to a reduction of the amount of exo-virus in Transwell assay. Immunohistochemistry also showed a high expression of AnxA2 and S100A10 in the placental tissue samples of HBV-infected mothers with congenital HBV-positive infants (HBV+/+). We conclude that in HBV intrauterine infection and mother-to-child transmission, a proportion of HBV hijacks autophagic protein secretion pathway and translocate across the trophoblast via S100A10/AnxA2 complex and multivesicular body (MVB)-mediated exocytosis. Our study provides a potential target for the interference of the mechanisms of HBV intrauterine infection and mother-to-child transmission.

Abstract
Mutualistic symbiosis refers to the symbiotic relationship between individuals of different species in which both individuals benefit from the association. S100A10, a member of the S100 family of Ca2+-binding proteins, exists as a tight dimer and binds two annexin A2 molecules. This association forms the annexin A2/S100A10 complex known as AIIt, and modifies the distinct functions of both proteins. Annexin A2 is a Ca2+-binding protein that binds F-actin, phospholipid, RNA, and specific polysaccharides such as heparin. S100A10 does not bind Ca2+, but binds tPA, plasminogen, certain plasma membrane ion channels, neurotransmitter receptors, and the structural scaffold protein, AHNAK. S100A10 relies on annexin A2 for its intracellular survival: in the absence of annexin A2, it is rapidly destroyed by ubiquitin-dependent and independent proteasomal degradation. Annexin A2 requires S100A10 to increase its affinity for Ca2+, facilitating its participation in Ca2+-dependent processes such as membrane binding. S100A10 binds tissue plasminogen activator and plasminogen, and promotes plasminogen activation to plasmin, which is a process stimulated by annexin A2. In contrast, annexin A2 acts as a plasmin reductase and facilitates the autoproteolytic destruction of plasmin. This review examines the relationship between annexin A2 and S100A10, and how their mutualistic symbiosis affects the function of both proteins.

Abstract
The generation of the serine protease plasmin is initiated by the binding of its zymogenic precursor, plasminogen, to cell surface receptors. The proteolytic activity of plasmin, generated at the cell surface, plays a crucial role in several physiological processes, including fibrinolysis, angiogenesis, wound healing, and the invasion of cells through both the basement membrane and extracellular matrix. The seminal observation by Albert Fischer that cancer cells, but not normal cells in culture, produce large amounts of plasmin formed the basis of current-day observations that plasmin generation can be hijacked by cancer cells to allow tumor development, progression, and metastasis. Thus, the cell surface plasminogen-binding receptor proteins are critical to generating plasmin proteolytic activity at the cell surface. This review focuses on one of the twelve well-described plasminogen receptors, S100A10, which, when in complex with its regulatory partner, annexin A2 (ANXA2), forms the ANXA2/S100A10 heterotetrameric complex referred to as AIIt. We present the theme that AIIt is the quintessential cellular plasminogen receptor since it regulates the formation and the destruction of plasmin. We also introduce the term oncogenic plasminogen receptor to define those plasminogen receptors directly activated during cancer progression. We then discuss the research establishing AIIt as an oncogenic plasminogen receptor-regulated during EMT and activated by oncogenes such as SRC, RAS, HIF1α, and PML-RAR and epigenetically by DNA methylation. We further discuss the evidence derived from animal models supporting the role of S100A10 in tumor progression and oncogenesis. Lastly, we describe the potential of S100A10 as a biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
Mesoglycan is a drug based on a mixture of glycosaminoglycans mainly used for the treatment of blood vessel diseases acting as antithrombotic and profibrinolytic drugs. Besides the numerous clinical studies, there is no information about its function on the fibrinolytic cascade. Here, we have elucidated the mechanism of action by which mesoglycan induces the activation of plasmin from endothelial cells. Surprisingly, by a proteomic analysis, we found that, following mesoglycan treatment, these cells show a notable amount of annexin A2 (ANXA2) at the plasma membrane. This protein has been widely associated with fibrinolysis and appears able to move to the membrane when phosphorylated. In our model, this translocation has proven to enhance cell migration, invasion, and angiogenesis. Furthermore, the interaction of mesoglycan with syndecan 4 (SDC4), a coreceptor belonging to the class of heparan sulfate proteoglycans, represents the upstream event of the ANXA2 behavior. Indeed, the activation of SDC4 triggers the motility of endothelial cells culminating in angiogenesis. Interestingly, mesoglycan can induce the release of plasmin in endothelial cell supernatants only in the presence of ANXA2. This evaluation suggests that mesoglycan triggers the formation of a chain mechanism starting from the activation of SDC4, and the related cascade of events, including src complex and PKCα activation, promoting the phosphorylation of ANXA2 and its translocation to plasma membrane. This indicates a connection among mesoglycan, SDC4-(PKCα-src), and ANXA2 which, in turn, links the tissue plasminogen activator bringing it closer to plasminogen. This latter is so cleaved to release the plasmin and degrade fibrin sleeves.

Abstract
As a cell surface tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)-plasminogen receptor, the annexin A2 (A2) complex facilitates plasmin generation on the endothelial cell surface, and is an established regulator of hemostasis. Whereas A2 is overexpressed in hemorrhagic disease such as acute promyelocytic leukemia, its underexpression or impairment may result in thrombosis, as in antiphospholipid syndrome, venous thromboembolism, or atherosclerosis. Within immune response cells, A2 orchestrates membrane repair, vesicle fusion, and cytoskeletal organization, thus playing a critical role in inflammatory response and tissue injury. Dysregulation of A2 is evident in multiple human disorders, and may contribute to the pathogenesis of various inflammatory disorders. The fibrinolytic system, moreover, is central to wound healing through its ability to remodel the provisional matrix and promote angiogenesis. A2 dysfunction may also promote tissue fibrogenesis and end-organ fibrosis.

Abstract
We have established a new screening system for identifying interacting proteins by combining biomolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) and a transposon gene trap system. This system requires creation of a bait strain that stably expresses a fusion product of part of the fluorescent monomeric Kusabira-Green (mKG) protein to a protein of interest. A PiggyBac transposon vector is then introduced into this strain, and a sequence encoding the remainder of mKG is inserted into the genome and fused randomly with endogenous genes. The binding partner can be identified by isolating cells that fluoresce when BiFC occurs. Using this system, we screened for interactors of p65 (also known as RELA), an NF-κB subunit, and isolated a number of mKG-positive clones. 5′- or 3′-RACE to produce cDNAs encoding mKG-fragment fusion genes and subsequent reconstitution assay identified PKM, HSP90AB1, ANXA2, HSPA8, and CACYBP as p65 interactors. All of these, with the exception of CACYBP, are known regulators of NF-κB. Immunoprecipitation assay confirmed endogenously expressed CACYBP and p65 formed a complex. A reporter assay revealed that CACYBP enhanced 3κB reporter activation under TNFα stimulation. This screening system therefore represents a valuable method for identifying interacting factors that have not been identified by other methods.

Abstract
Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a complex heterogeneous disease characterized by a wide spectrum of glandular and extra-glandular manifestations. In this pilot study, a SWATH-MS approach was used to monitor extracellular vesicles-enriched saliva (EVs) sub-proteome in pSS patients, to compare it with whole saliva (WS) proteome, and assess differential expressed proteins between pSS and healthy control EVs samples. Comparison between EVs and WS led to the characterization of compartment-specific proteins with a moderate degree of overlap. A total of 290 proteins were identified and quantified in EVs from healthy and pSS patients. Among those, 121 proteins were found to be differentially expressed in pSS, 82% were found to be upregulated, and 18% downregulated in pSS samples. The most representative functional pathways associated to the protein networks were related to immune-innate response, including several members of S100 protein family, annexin A2, resistin, serpin peptidase inhibitors, azurocidin, and CD14 monocyte differentiation antigen. Our results highlight the usefulness of EVs for the discovery of novel salivary-omic biomarkers and open novel perspectives in pSS for the identification of proteins of clinical relevance that could be used not only for the disease diagnosis but also to improve patients’ stratification and treatment-monitoring. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD025649.

[PMID: 34048174 PMCID: PMC8408374 DOI: 10.31557/apjcp.2021.22.5.1459] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Immediate single instillation of chemotherapy following transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is suggested for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients. However, no study has evaluated molecular marker that was involved in intravesical recurrence (IVR) after single instillation of chemotherapy. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate whether P-glycoprotein, multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), Annexin A2 (ANXA2) or nucleophosmin (NPM) expression predicts IVR after initial TURBT and immediate single intravesical adriamycin instillation. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed consecutive 443 patients who underwent TURBT. Of these, 54 patients who underwent initial TURBT and single instillation of adriamycin for NMIBC were included. The expressions of P-glycoprotein, MRP1, ANXA2 and NPM were evaluated immunohistochemically and were divided into 2 groups (low or high) according to the staining intensity and/or proportion of positive cells. IVR was assessed by Kaplan-Meier method. Cox`s multivaritate analyses were performed to identify independent predictors for IVR. RESULTS Nineteen patients (35.1%) had IVR. High P-glycoprotein expression was significantly correlated with multiplicity, pT stage and high grade. High ANXA2 expression was significantly correlated with high grade. MRP1 and NPM were not correlated with any clinicopathological variables. MRP1 expression and ANXA2 expression were significantly correlated with P-glycoprotein expression. Patients with high P-glycoprotein expression had significantly worse IVR-free survival (IVRFS) than those with low P-glycoprotein expression (P =0.015). The difference in IVRFS rates between patients with high ANXA2 expression and those with low ANXA2 expression was nearly significant (P =0.057). Univariate analyses indicated multiplicity, high grade and high P-glycoprotein expression were significant predictors for IVR. Multivariate analysis indicated high grade was an independent predictor for IVR. CONCLUSIONS High P-glycoprotein expression was associated with IVR. Further study was needed to determine significance of P-glycoprotein expression in IVR after single intravesical adriamycin instillation.

Abstract
CONTEXT Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have emerged as modulators of the disease microenvironment, thereby supporting disease progression. However, the potential role of EVs and their content to the pathophysiology of endometriosis remain unclear. OBJECTIVE This work aimed to investigate whether the EVs from eutopic (Eu) and ectopic (Ec) endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) differ with respect to protein composition and role in endometriosis. METHODS Human Eu and Ec endometrium-derived ESCs were isolated from samples of the same patients (n = 3). sEVs were isolated from ESCs via ultracentrifugation; these sEVs were characterized by Western blotting, transmission electron microscopy, and nanoparticle tracking analysis and analyzed using mass spectrometry. The potential role of EcESCs-derived sEVs (EcESCs-sEVs) in endometriosis was explored by assaying their effects on cell viability/proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. RESULTS In total, 105 ESCs-sEV-associated proteins were identified from EcESCs-sEVs and EuESCs-sEVs by mass spectrometry analysis. The protein content differed between EcESCs-sEVs and EuESCs-sEVs, with annexin A2 (ANXA2) being the most prominent difference-present in EcESCs-sEVs but not EuESCs-sEVs. We also found that sEVs-ANXA2 regulates the motility, proliferation, and angiogenesis of ESCs via the extracellularly regulated kinase (ERK)/STAT3 pathway. Notably, treatment of ESCs with sEVs-ANXA2 resulted in increased proliferation and motility, suggesting that sEVs-ANXA2 may be involved in regulating endometriosis. Our data suggest that EcESCs-sEVs-ANXA2 regulates the motility and the angiogenic potential of ESCs, implying a role for sEVs-ANXA2 in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. CONCLUSION The study of sEVs-ANXA2 from Ec endometriotic cells uncovers a new mechanism of endometriosis progression and will inform the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Annexins A2, A6 and Fetuin-A Affect the Process of Mineralization in Vesicles Derived from Human Osteoblastic hFOB 1.19 and Osteosarcoma Saos-2 Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22083993. [PMID: 33924370 PMCID: PMC8069967 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22083993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2021] [Revised: 03/27/2021] [Accepted: 04/07/2021] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
The mineralization process is initiated by osteoblasts and chondrocytes during intramembranous and endochondral ossifications, respectively. Both types of cells release matrix vesicles (MVs), which accumulate Pi and Ca2+ and form apatites in their lumen. Tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), a mineralization marker, is highly enriched in MVs, in which it removes inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), an inhibitor of apatite formation. MVs then bud from the microvilli of mature osteoblasts or hypertrophic chondrocytes and, thanks to the action of the acto-myosin cortex, become released to the extracellular matrix (ECM), where they bind to collagen fibers and propagate mineral growth. In this report, we compared the mineralization ability of human fetal osteoblastic cell line (hFOB 1.19 cells) with that of osteosarcoma cell line (Saos-2 cells). Both types of cells were able to mineralize in an osteogenic medium containing ascorbic acid and beta glycerophosphate. The composition of calcium and phosphate compounds in cytoplasmic vesicles was distinct from that in extracellular vesicles (mostly MVs) released after collagenase-digestion. Apatites were identified only in MVs derived from Saos-2 cells, while MVs from hFOB 1.19 cells contained amorphous calcium phosphate complexes. In addition, AnxA6 and AnxA2 (nucleators of mineralization) increased mineralization in the sub-membrane region in strongly mineralizing Saos-2 osteosarcoma, where they co-localized with TNAP, whereas in less mineralizing hFOB 1.19 osteoblasts, AnxA6, and AnxA2 co-localizations with TNAP were less visible in the membrane. We also observed a reduction in the level of fetuin-A (FetuA), an inhibitor of mineralization in ECM, following treatment with TNAP and Ca channels inhibitors, especially in osteosarcoma cells. Moreover, a fraction of FetuA was translocated from the cytoplasm towards the plasma membrane during the stimulation of Saos-2 cells, while this displacement was less pronounced in stimulated hFOB 19 cells. In summary, osteosarcoma Saos-2 cells had a better ability to mineralize than osteoblastic hFOB 1.19 cells. The formation of apatites was observed in Saos-2 cells, while only complexes of calcium and phosphate were identified in hFOB 1.19 cells. This was also evidenced by a more pronounced accumulation of AnxA2, AnxA6, FetuA in the plasma membrane, where they were partly co-localized with TNAP in Saos-2 cells, in comparison to hFOB 1.19 cells. This suggests that both activators (AnxA2, AnxA6) and inhibitors (FetuA) of mineralization were recruited to the membrane and co-localized with TNAP to take part in the process of mineralization.

Abstract
Routine manipulation of the mouse genome has become a landmark in biomedical research. Traits that are only associated with advanced developmental stages can now be investigated within a living organism, and the in vivo analysis of corresponding phenotypes and functions advances the translation into the clinical setting. The annexins, a family of closely related calcium (Ca2+)- and lipid-binding proteins, are found at various intra- and extracellular locations, and interact with a broad range of membrane lipids and proteins. Their impacts on cellular functions has been extensively assessed in vitro, yet annexin-deficient mouse models generally develop normally and do not display obvious phenotypes. Only in recent years, studies examining genetically modified annexin mouse models which were exposed to stress conditions mimicking human disease often revealed striking phenotypes. This review is the first comprehensive overview of annexin-related research using animal models and their exciting future use for relevant issues in biology and experimental medicine.

Abstract
Prothymosin alpha (ProTα) and S100A13 are released from C6 glioma cells under serum-free conditions via membrane tethering mediated by Ca2+-dependent interactions between S100A13 and p40 synaptotagmin-1 (Syt-1), which is further associated with plasma membrane syntaxin-1 (Stx-1). The present study revealed that S100A13 interacted with annexin A2 (ANXA2) and this interaction was enhanced by Ca2+ and p40 Syt-1. Amlexanox (Amx) inhibited the association between S100A13 and ANXA2 in C6 glioma cells cultured under serum-free conditions in the in situ proximity ligation assay. In the absence of Amx, however, the serum-free stress results in a flop-out of ANXA2 through the membrane, without the extracellular release. The intracellular delivery of anti-ANXA2 antibody blocked the serum-free stress-induced cellular loss of ProTα, S100A13, and Syt-1. The stress-induced externalization of ANXA2 was inhibited by pretreatment with siRNA for P4-ATPase, ATP8A2, under serum-free conditions, which ablates membrane lipid asymmetry. The stress-induced ProTα release via Stx-1A, ANXA2 and ATP8A2 was also evidenced by the knock-down strategy in the experiments using oxygen glucose deprivation-treated cultured neurons. These findings suggest that starvation stress-induced release of ProTα, S100A13, and p40 Syt-1 from C6 glioma cells is mediated by the ANXA2-flop-out via energy crisis-dependent recovery of membrane lipid asymmetry.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Overweight/obesity was mentioned by many countries as an obstacle to good health and long life, which increases risk of diseases and disorders. Previous studies suggested that the chronic low-grade inflammation present in the body was considered as the essential pathogenesis for obesity. Chrysin is extracted from traditional Chinese medicine Oroxylum indicum (Linn.) Kurz and plays a superior anti-obesity role. Chrysin could reduce the lipid depot by inhibiting the obesity-related inflammation in adipose tissue. However, the target protein for chrysin to exert its anti-obesity role are not verified. AIM OF STUDY The present study aimed to screen and validate the target protein for chrysin to reduce the lipid depot in palmitic acid-induced 3T3-L1 adipocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Obesity model was established employing 0.5 mmol/L palmitic acid-induced 3T3-L1 adipocytes through "Cocktails" method. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) combined with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was applied to analyze the differentially expressed proteins for chrysin intervention by lipid formation in adipocytes. Gene silencing was utilized to decrease gene expression of the candidate proteins, then production of triglyceride in 3T3-L1 was detected by triglycerides assay to determine the target proteins. Ultraviolet (UV) absorption together with fluorescence spectra validated the direct target proteins of chrysin. They also computed the correlation constants of combination between chrysin and the target proteins. Molecular docking was further employed to identify the main binding amino acids between chrysin and the target protein. RESULTS 2-DE combined with LC-MS screened four candidate proteins which were related to metabolism and inflammation. The production of triglycerides in 3T3-L1 was reduced after decreasing gene expression of Annexin A2 (ANXA2), 60 kDa heat shock protein (HSP-60) and succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid coenzyme A transferase 1 (SCOT-S), respectively. UV spectrum showed that the absorbance spectra of ANXA2 from 260 to 300 nm shifted upwards along with the increase in chrysin concentration, meanwhile the absorbance spectra of HSP-60 from 200 to 220 nm and from 265 to 280 nm shifted slightly upwards along with the increase in chrysin concentrations. The results indicated the conjugated structures between chrysin and ANXA2 or HSP-60. Fluorescence quenching further suggested a spontaneous interaction between chrysin and ANXA2 or HSP-60. Finally, molecular docking identified the main binding amino acids between ANXA2 and chrysin were Ser22, Tyr24, Pro267, Val298, Asp299, and Lys302. CONCLUSIONS Chrysin can reduce the amount of triglycerides by directly downregulating the inflammation-related target proteins ANXA2 and HSP-60, exerting an anti-obesity role.

Abstract
RATIONALE Hemorrhagic complications represent a major limitation of intravenous thrombolysis using tPA (tissue-type plasminogen activator) in patients with ischemic stroke. The expression of tPA receptors on immune cells raises the question of what effects tPA exerts on these cells and whether these effects contribute to thrombolysis-related hemorrhagic transformation. OBJECTIVE We aim to determine the impact of tPA on immune cells and investigate the association between observed immune alteration with hemorrhagic transformation in ischemic stroke patients and in a rat model of embolic stroke. METHODS AND RESULTS Paired blood samples were collected before and 1 hour after tPA infusion from 71 patients with ischemic stroke. Control blood samples were collected from 27 ischemic stroke patients without tPA treatment. A rat embolic middle cerebral artery occlusion model was adopted to investigate the underlying mechanisms of hemorrhagic transformation. We report that tPA induces a swift surge of circulating neutrophils and T cells with profoundly altered molecular features in ischemic stroke patients and a rat model of focal embolic stroke. tPA exacerbates endothelial injury, increases adhesion and migration of neutrophils and T cells, which are associated with brain hemorrhage in rats subjected to embolic stroke. Genetic ablation of annexin A2 in neutrophils and T cells diminishes the effect of tPA on these cells. Decoupling the interaction between mobilized neutrophils/T cells and the neurovascular unit, achieved via a S1PR (sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor) 1 modulator RP101075 and a CCL2 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 2) synthesis inhibitor bindarit, which block lymphocyte egress and myeloid cell recruitment, respectively, attenuates hemorrhagic transformation and improves neurological function after tPA thrombolysis. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that immune invasion of the neurovascular unit represents a previously unrecognized mechanism underlying tPA-mediated brain hemorrhage, which can be overcome by precise immune modulation during thrombolytic therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Annexin A2 is a calcium dependent phospholipid binding protein that is a biomarker in cancers. However, the value of serum Annexin A2 in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) is not clear. This study aimed to investigate clinical utility of serum Annexin A2 as a potential biomarker for CRC. METHODS Annexin A2 was analyzed in 20 cases of CRC tissues and 20 controls of normal adjacent paired tissues. Serum Annexin A2 was calculated in 59 CRC patients and 44 healthy subjects. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and logistic regression were utilized to evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness and construct diagnostic model. RESULTS Annexin A2 in CRC tissues was slightly higher than in normal adjacent paired tissues (χ2=6.0652, p<0.05). Serum Annexin A2 in CRC patients was significantly lower than in healthy controls (p<0.05). Besides, the levels of serum Annexin A2 were lower in patients with poor tumor differentiation than in well or moderate tumor differentiation (p=0.0111). ROC analysis indicated the diagnostic efficacy of serum Annexin A2 was better than carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA199) for CRC. Furthermore, joint detection of Annexin A2 and CEA had the maximum area under the ROC curve (AUC) in discriminating CRC from healthy controls (AUC 0.931, sensitivity 86.4%, specificity 84.7%, positive predictive value 87.9%, and negative predictive value 82.2%). CONCLUSIONS Serum Annexin A2 may be a non-invasive and promising biomarker for the diagnosis of CRC, and the joint detection of Annexin A2 and CEA may have been favorable clinical applied value in the diagnosis of CRC.

Abstract
The chemotherapeutic drug epirubicin increases the exosomal export of miR-503 in endothelial cells. To understand the mechanisms behind this process, we transfected endothelial cells with miR-503 carrying a biotin tag. Then, we pulled-down the proteins interacting with miR-503 and studied their role in microRNA exosomal export. A total of four different binding partners were identified by mass spectrometry and validated by western blotting and negative controls, among them ANXA2 and hnRNPA2B1. Using knock-down systems combined with pull-down analysis, we determined that epirubicin mediates the export of miR-503 by disrupting the interaction between hnRNPA2B1 and miR-503. Then, both ANXA2 and miR-503 are sorted into exosomes while hnRNPA2B1 is relocated into the nucleus. The combination of these processes culminates in the increased export of miR-503. These results suggest, for the first time, that RNA-binding proteins can negatively regulate the exosomal sorting of microRNAs.

Abstract
Annexin A2 (AnxA2) is a calcium- and lipid-binding protein involved in neuroendocrine secretion where it participates in the formation and/or stabilization of lipid micro-domains required for structural and spatial organization of the exocytotic machinery. We have recently described that phosphorylation of AnxA2 on Tyr23 is critical for exocytosis. Considering that Tyr23 phosphorylation is known to promote AnxA2 externalization to the outer face of the plasma membrane in different cell types, we examined whether this phenomenon occurred in neurosecretory chromaffin cells. Using immunolabeling and biochemical approaches, we observed that nicotine stimulation triggered the egress of AnxA2 to the external leaflets of the plasma membrane in the vicinity of exocytotic sites. AnxA2 was found co-localized with tissue plasminogen activator, previously described on the surface of chromaffin cells following secretory granule release. We propose that AnxA2 might be a cell surface tissue plasminogen activator receptor for chromaffin cells, thus playing a role in autocrine or paracrine regulation of exocytosis.

Abstract
Muscle cell plasma membrane is frequently damaged by mechanical activity, and its repair requires the membrane protein dysferlin. We previously identified that, similar to dysferlin deficit, lack of annexin A2 (AnxA2) also impairs repair of skeletal myofibers. Here, we have studied the mechanism of AnxA2-mediated muscle cell membrane repair in cultured muscle cells. We find that injury-triggered increase in cytosolic calcium causes AnxA2 to bind dysferlin and accumulate on dysferlin-containing vesicles as well as with dysferlin at the site of membrane injury. AnxA2 accumulates on the injured plasma membrane in cholesterol-rich lipid microdomains and requires Src kinase activity and the presence of cholesterol. Lack of AnxA2 and its failure to translocate to the plasma membrane, both prevent calcium-triggered dysferlin translocation to the plasma membrane and compromise repair of the injured plasma membrane. Our studies identify that Anx2 senses calcium increase and injury-triggered change in plasma membrane cholesterol to facilitate dysferlin delivery and repair of the injured plasma membrane.

Abstract
Intracerebral microhemorrhages (CMHs) are small foci of hemorrhages in the cerebrum. Acute infections induced by some intracellular pathogens, including rickettsia, can result in CMHs. Annexin a2 (ANXA2) has been documented to play a functional role during intracellular bacterial adhesion. Here we report that ANXA2-knockout (KO) mice are more susceptible to CMHs in response to rickettsia and Ebola virus infections, suggesting an essential role of ANXA2 in protecting vascular integrity during these intracellular pathogen infections. Proteomic analysis via mass spectrometry of whole brain lysates and brain-derived endosomes from ANXA2-KO and wild-type (WT) mice post-infection with R. australis revealed that a variety of significant proteins were differentially expressed, and the follow-up function enrichment analysis had identified several relevant cell-cell junction functions. Immunohistology study confirmed that both infected WT and infected ANXA2-KO mice were subjected to adherens junctional protein (VE-cadherin) damages. However, key blood-brain barrier (BBB) components, tight junctional proteins ZO-1 and occludin, were disorganized in the brains from R. australis-infected ANXA2-KO mice, but not those of infected WT mice. Similar ANXA2-KO dependent CMHs and fragments of ZO-1 and occludin were also observed in Ebola virus-infected ANXA2-KO mice, but not found in infected WT mice. Overall, our study revealed a novel role of ANXA2 in the formation of CMHs during R. australis and Ebola virus infections; and the underlying mechanism is relevant to the role of ANXA2-regulated tight junctions and its role in stabilizing the BBB in these deadly infections.
