Identification and characterization of ARID1A-interacting proteins in renal tubular cells and their molecular regulation of angiogenesis. J Transl Med 2023; 21:862.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Defects and deficiency of AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) encoded by a tumor suppressor gene ARID1A have recently been suggested to get involved in angiogenesis, a crucial process in carcinogenesis. However, molecular mechanisms of ARID1A deficiency to induce angiogenesis in kidney cancer remain underinvestigated. METHODS We performed large-scale identification of ARID1A protein interactors in renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) using immunoprecipitation (IP) followed by nanoLC-ESI-LTQ-Orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Their roles in angiogenesis were investigated using various assays. RESULTS A total of 74 ARID1A-interacting proteins were identified. Protein-protein interactions analysis revealed that these identified proteins interacted directly or indirectly with ARID1A. Among them, the direct interaction between ARID1A and β-actin was validated by IP and reciprocal IP followed by Western blotting. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used for single and double knockdowns of ARID1A and ACTB. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR demonstrated that deficiency of ARID1A, but not ACTB, significantly affected expression of angiogenesis-related genes in RTECs (VEGF and FGF2 were increased, whereas PDGF and EGF were decreased). However, the knockdowns did not affect TGFB1 and FGF1 levels. The quantitative mRNA expression data of VEGF and TGFB1 were consistent with the secreted levels of their protein products as measured by ELISA. Only secreted products derived from ARID1A-deficient RTECs significantly increased endothelial cells (ECs) migration and tube formation. Some of the other carcinogenic features could also be confirmed in the ARID1A-deficient RTECs, including increased cell migration and chemoresistance. Double knockdowns of both ARID1A and ACTB did not enhance the effects of single ARID1A knockdown in all assays. CONCLUSIONS We report herein a large dataset of the ARID1A-interacting proteins in RTECs using an IP-MS/MS approach and confirm the direct interaction between ARID1A and β-actin. However, the role of ARID1A deficiency in angiogenesis is independent of β-actin.

Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2023; 21:3796-3809. [PMID: 37560129 PMCID: PMC10407547 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2023.07.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Annexin A1 (ANXA1) is a multifunctional calcium-binding protein that can bind to membrane phospholipids. Under high-calcium condition, ANXA1 expression increases on renal epithelial cell surface, leading to enhanced adhesion of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal (stone material) onto the cells. To regulate various cellular processes, ANXA1 interacts with many other intracellular protein partners. However, components of the ANXA1-interacting protein complex remain unclear. Herein, we characterized the interacting complexes of apical membrane (ApANXA1) and cytosolic (cyANXA1) forms of ANXA1 in apical membrane and cytosolic compartments, respectively, of renal epithelial cells under high-calcium condition using proteomic and bioinformatic approaches. After fractionation, the ApANXA1- and CyANXA1-interacting partners were identified by immunoprecipitation followed by nanoLC‑ESI‑Qq-TOF tandem mass spectrometry (IP-MS/MS). The ANXA1-interacting partners that were common in both apical membrane and cytosolic compartments and those unique in each compartment were then analyzed for their physico-chemical properties (molecular weight, isoelectric point, amino acid contents, instability index, aliphatic index, and grand average of hydropathicity), secondary structure (α-helix, β-turn, random coil, and extended strand), molecular functions, biological processes, reactome pathways and KEGG pathways. The data demonstrated that each set of these interacting proteins exhibited common and unique characteristics and properties. The knowledge from this study may lead to better understanding of the ApANXA1 and CyAXNA1 biochemistry and functions as well as the pathophysiology of CaOx kidney stone formation induced by high-calcium condition.

Cell Mol Life Sci 2022; 79:454. [PMID: 35900595 PMCID: PMC9330963 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-022-04483-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2022] [Revised: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Human heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) has four functional domains, including NH2-terminal (N), charged linker region (LR), middle (M) and COOH-terminal (C) domains. In kidney stone disease (or nephrolithiasis/urolithiasis), HSP90 serves as a receptor for calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM), which is the most common crystal to form kidney stones. Nevertheless, roles of HSP90 and its four domains in kidney stone formation remained unclear and under-investigated. We thus examined and compared their effects on COM crystals during physical (crystallization, growth and aggregation) and biological (crystal–cell adhesion and crystal invasion through extracellular matrix (ECM)) pathogenic processes of kidney stone formation. The analyses revealed that full-length (FL) HSP90 obviously increased COM crystal size and abundance during crystallization and markedly promoted crystal growth, aggregation, adhesion onto renal cells and ECM invasion. Comparing among four individual domains, N and C domains exhibited the strongest promoting effects, whereas LR domain had the weakest promoting effects on COM crystals. In summary, our findings indicate that FL-HSP90 and its four domains (N, LR, M and C) promote COM crystallization, crystal growth, aggregation, adhesion onto renal cells and invasion through the ECM, all of which are the important physical and biological pathogenic processes of kidney stone formation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Main problems of kidney stone disease are its increasing prevalence and high recurrence rate after calculi removal in almost all areas around the globe. Despite enormous efforts in the past, its pathogenic mechanisms remain unclear and need further elucidations. Proteomics has thus become an essential tool to unravel such sophisticated disease mechanisms at cellular, subcellular, molecular, tissue, and whole organism levels. AREAS COVERED This review provides abrief overview of kidney stone disease followed by updates on proteomics for investigating urinary stone modulators, matrix proteins, cellular responses to different types/doses of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals, sex hormones and other stimuli, crystal-cell interactions, crystal receptors, secretome, and extracellular vesicles (EVs), all of which lead to better understanding of the disease mechanisms. Finally, the future challenges and translation of these obtained data to the clinic are discussed. EXPERT OPINION Knowledge from urinary proteomics for exploring the important stone modulators (either inhibitors or promoters) will be helpful for early detection of asymptomatic cases for prompt prevention of symptoms, complications, and new stone formation. Moreover, these modulators may serve as the new therapeutic targets in the future for successful treatment and prevention of kidney stone disease by medications or other means of intervention.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the repair effect of carboxymethyl-modified corn silk polysaccharide (CSP) on oxidatively damaged renal epithelial cells and the difference in adhesion between cells and calcium oxalate crystals. The CSP was degraded and modified through carboxymethylation. An oxidatively damaged cell model was constructed by oxalate damage to human kidney proximal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells. Then, the damaged cells were repaired by modified polysaccharides, and the changes in biochemical indexes and adhesion ability between cells and crystals before and after repair were detected. Four modified polysaccharides with carboxyl group (-COOH) contents of 3.92% (CSP0), 7.75% (CCSP1), 12.90% (CCSP2), and 16.38% (CCSP3) were obtained. Compared with CSP0, CCSPs had stronger antioxidant activity, could repair damaged HK-2 cells, and could reduce phosphorylated serine eversion on the cell membrane, the expression of osteopontin (OPN) and Annexin A1, and crystal adhesion. However, its effect on the expression of hyaluronic acid synthase was not substantial. The carboxymethyl modification of the CSP can improve its ability to repair cells and inhibit crystal adhesion and aggregation. A high carboxymethylation degree results in strong polysaccharide activity. CCSPs are expected to reduce the risk of kidney stone formation and recurrence.

Abstract
Adhesion of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals onto renal tubular epithelial cells is one of the critical steps in kidney stone formation. However, effects of crystal size on the crystal adhesive capability remained unclear. This study compared the adhesive capabilities of CaOx monohydrate (COM) crystals with various sizes (<10 μm, 20-30 μm, 50-60 μm, and > 80 μm). Crystal-cell adhesion assay showed size-dependent increase of COM crystal adhesion onto epithelial cell surface using the larger crystals. Identification of apical membrane proteins that could bind to COM crystals by tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-ESI-ETD MS/MS) demonstrated size-specific sets of the COM crystal-binding proteins. Among these, numbers of known oxalate-binding proteins and COM crystal receptors were greatest in the set of the largest size (>80 μm). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that adhesive forces between carboxylic-immobilized AFM tip and COM crystal surface and between COM-mounted AFM tip and renal epithelial cell surface were size-dependent (greater for the larger crystals). In summary, the adhesive capability of COM crystals is size-dependent - the larger the greater adhesive capability. These data may help better understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of kidney stone formation at an initial stage when renal tubular cells are exposed to various sizes of COM crystals.

Abstract
Nephrolithiasis/urolithiasis (i.e., kidney stone disease) remains a global public health problem with increasing incidence/prevalence. The most common chemical composition of kidney stones is calcium oxalate that initiates stone formation by crystallization, crystal growth, crystal aggregation, crystal–cell adhesion, and crystal invasion through extracellular matrix in renal interstitium. Among these processes, crystal–cell interactions (defined as “the phenomena in which the cell is altered by any means of effects from the crystal that adheres onto cellular surface or is internalized into the cell, accompanying with changes of the crystal, e.g., growth, adhesive capability, degradation, etc., induced by the cell”) are very important for crystal retention in the kidney. During the past 12 years, proteomics has been extensively applied to kidney stone research aiming for better understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of kidney stone formation. This article provides an overview of the current knowledge in this field and summarizes the data obtained from all the studies that applied proteomics to the investigations of crystal–cell interactions that subsequently led to functional studies to address the significant impact or functional roles of the expression proteomics data in the pathogenesis of kidney stone disease.
