Abstract
The recycling of membrane proteins from endosomes to the cell surface is vital for cell signaling and survival. Retriever, a trimeric complex of vacuolar protein-sorting-associated protein (VPS)35L, VPS26C and VPS29, together with the CCC complex comprising coiled-coil domain-containing (CCDC)22, CCDC93 and copper metabolism domain-containing (COMMD) proteins, plays a crucial role in this process. The precise mechanisms underlying retriever assembly and its interaction with CCC have remained elusive. Here, we present a high-resolution structure of retriever in humans determined using cryogenic electron microscopy. The structure reveals a unique assembly mechanism, distinguishing it from its remotely related paralog retromer. By combining AlphaFold predictions and biochemical, cellular and proteomic analyses, we further elucidate the structural organization of the entire retriever-CCC complex across evolution and uncover how cancer-associated mutations in humans disrupt complex formation and impair membrane protein homeostasis. These findings provide a fundamental framework for understanding the biological and pathological implications associated with retriever-CCC-mediated endosomal recycling.

WSB1/2 target chromatin-bound lysine-methylated RelA for proteasomal degradation and NF-κB termination. Nucleic Acids Res 2024; 52:4969-4984. [PMID: 38452206 PMCID: PMC11109945 DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkae161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Proteasome-mediated degradation of chromatin-bound NF-κB is critical in terminating the transcription of pro-inflammatory genes and can be triggered by Set9-mediated lysine methylation of the RelA subunit. However, the E3 ligase targeting methylated RelA remains unknown. Here, we find that two structurally similar substrate-recognizing components of Cullin-RING E3 ligases, WSB1 and WSB2, can recognize chromatin-bound methylated RelA for polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. We showed that WSB1/2 negatively regulated a subset of NF-κB target genes via associating with chromatin where they targeted methylated RelA for ubiquitination, facilitating the termination of NF-κB-dependent transcription. WSB1/2 specifically interacted with methylated lysines (K) 314 and 315 of RelA via their N-terminal WD-40 repeat (WDR) domains, thereby promoting ubiquitination of RelA. Computational modeling further revealed that a conserved aspartic acid (D) at position 158 within the WDR domain of WSB2 coordinates K314/K315 of RelA, with a higher affinity when either of the lysines is methylated. Mutation of D158 abolished WSB2's ability to bind to and promote ubiquitination of methylated RelA. Together, our study identifies a novel function and the underlying mechanism for WSB1/2 in degrading chromatin-bound methylated RelA and preventing sustained NF-κB activation, providing potential new targets for therapeutic intervention of NF-κB-mediated inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Background Cuproptosis, a new cell death mode, is majorly modulated by mitochondrial metabolism and protein lipoylation. Nonetheless, cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) have not yet been thoroughly studied for their clinical significance and relationship with the immune microenvironment in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods We screened CRGs that had a significant correlation with immune status, which was determined utilizing single-sample GSEA (ssGSEA) and Gene Expression Omnibus datasets (GSE75214). Furthermore, utilizing the R package "CensusClusterPlus", these CRGs' expression was used to obtain different patient clusters. Subsequently, gene-set enrichment analysis (GSEA), gene set variation analysis (GSVA), and CIBERSORT assessed the variations in the enrichment of gene function and the abundance of immune cell infiltration and immune functions across these clusters. Additionally, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were executed, and for the purpose of identifying hub genes between these clusters, the construction of protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was done. Lastly, we used the GSE36807 and GSE10616 datasets as external validation cohorts to validate the immune profiles linked to the expression of CRG. ScRNA-seq profiling was then carried out using the publicly available dataset to examine the CRGs expression in various cell clusters and under various conditions. Results Three CRGs, PDHA1, DLD, and FDX1, had a significant association with different immune profiles in IBD. Patients were subsequently classified into two clusters: low expression levels of DLD and PDHA1, and high expression levels of FDX1 were observed in Cluster 1 compared to Cluster 2. According to GSEA, Cluster 2 had a close association with the RNA processes and protein synthesis whereas Cluster 1 was substantially linked to environmental stress response and metabolism regulations. Furthermore, Cluster 2 had more immune cell types, which were characterized by abundant memory B cells, CD4+ T memory activated cells, and follicular helper T cells, and higher levels of immune-related molecules (CD44, CD276,CTLA4 and ICOS) than Cluster 1. During the analysis, the PPI network was divided into three significant MCODEs using the Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) algorithm. The three MCODEs containing four genes respectively were linked to mitochondrial metabolism, cell development, ion and amino acid transport. Finally, external validation cohorts validated these findings, and scRNA-seq profiling demonstrated diverse intestinal cellular compositions with a wide variation in CRGs expression in the gut of IBD patients. Conclusions Cuproptosis has been implicated in IBD, with PDHA1, DLD, and FDX1 having the potential as immune biomarkers and therapeutic targets. These results offer a better understanding of the development of precise, dependable, and cutting-edge diagnosis and treatment of IBD.

Abstract
Objectives Cuproptosis is a recently discovered form of programmed cell death; however, its role in ulcerative colitis (UC) remains a void. Methods Three gene expression profiles were acquired from the GEO database. Subsequently, the single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was performed to identify the immune infiltration characteristics of UC. Correlation analysis between cuproptosis and immune infiltration was further conducted, and the cuproptosis-related genes were applied to construct a UC diagnostic model. Subsequently, analysis results of microarray data were experimentally validated by DSS-induced colitis in mice. Finally, therapeutic agents for the cuproptosis-related genes were screened owing to the gaping field of therapeutic agents on cuproptosis. Results Three gene expression profiles with 343 samples (290 UC and 53 healthy samples) were included. Immune infiltration revealed that UC patients had a higher level of DCs, B cells, CD8+ T cells, iDCs, Macrophages, neutrophils, pDCs, T helper cells, Tfh, Th1 cells, Th2 cells, TIL and Treg than normal subjects. Moreover, almost all cuproptosis-related genes were significantly negatively associated with immune infiltration in UC patients. The risk prediction model based on cuproptosis-related genes showed an excellent discrimination for UC. Animal experiments revealed significant alterations in genes essential for cuproptosis between DSS-induced colitis mice and healthy controls, providing experimental validation for the analysis results of microarray data. Further analysis revealed that latamoxef, vitinoin, clomipramine, chlorzoxazone, glibenclamide, pyruvic acid, clindamycin, medrysone, caspan, and flavin adenine dinucleotide might be the target agents for cuproptosis-related genes. Conclusions In conclusion, cuproptosis was significantly associated with immune infiltration in UC, and the cuproptosis-related genes showed an excellent discrimination for UC.

Abstract
Cuproptosis is the most recently discovered mode of cell death. It could affect the metabolism of cancer cells and surrounding infiltrating immune cells. In recent years, many studies have also shown that the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a critical role in tumor growth and development. Mounting evidence suggests that Cuproptosis would bring unique insights into the development of pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapeutic techniques for cancer prevention and therapy. However, no study has been done on the combination of cuproptosis and TME in any cancer. Herein, we investigated the relationship between cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs), TME, and the prognosis of patients with Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (UCEC). We identified three CRGs clusters based on 10 CRGs and three CRGs gene clusters based on 600 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with significant prognostic differences. Following that, the CRGs score based on DEGs with significant prognostic differences was established to evaluate the prognosis and immunotherapeutic efficacy of UCEC patients. The CRGs score was shown to be useful in predicting clinical outcomes. Patients with a low CRGs score seemed to have a better prognosis, a better immunotherapeutic response, and a higher tumor mutation burden (TMB). In conclusion, our study explored the influence of cuproptosis patterns and TME on the prognosis of cancer patients, thereby improving their prognosis.

Abstract
Liver-resident macrophages Kupffer cells (KCs) and infiltrating Ly6Chi monocytes both contribute to liver tissue regeneration in various pathologies but also to disease progression upon disruption of orderly consecutive regeneration cascades. Little is known about molecular pathways that regulate their differentiation, maintenance, or inflammatory behavior during injury. Here, we show that copper metabolism MURR1 domain (COMMD)10-deficient KCs adopt liver-specific identity. Strikingly, COMMD10 deficiency in KCs and in other tissue-resident macrophages impedes their homeostatic survival, leading to their continuous replacement by Ly6Chi monocytes. While COMMD10 deficiency in KCs mildly worsens acetaminophen-induced liver injury (AILI), its deficiency in Ly6Chi monocytes results in exacerbated and sustained hepatic damage. Monocytes display unleashed inflammasome activation and a reduced type I interferon response and acquire "neutrophil-like" and lipid-associated macrophage differentiation fates. Collectively, COMMD10 appears indispensable for KC and other tissue-resident macrophage survival and is an important regulator of Ly6Chi monocyte fate decisions and reparative behavior in the diseased liver.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The copper metabolism MURR1 domain (COMMD) protein family involved in tumor development and progression in several types of human cancer, but little is known about the function of COMMD proteins in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS The ONCOMINE and the UALCAN databases were used to evaluate the expression of COMMD1-10 in HCC and the association of this family with individual cancer stage and tumor grade. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) Plotter and Cox analysis hint the prognostic value of COMMDs. A network comprising 50 most similar genes and COMMD1-10 was constructed with the STRING database. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed using LinkedOmics database. The correlations between COMMD expression and the presence of immune infiltrating cells were also analyzed by the tumor immune estimation resource (TIMER) database. GSE14520 dataset and 80 HCC patients were used to validated the expression and survival value of COMMD3. Human HCC cell lines were also used for validating the function of COMMD3. RESULTS The expression of all COMMD family members showed higher expression in HCC tissues than that in normal tissues, and is associated with clinical cancer stage and pathological tumor grade. In HCC patients, the transcriptional levels of COMMD1/4 are positively correlated with overall survival (OS), while those of COMMD2/3/7/8/9 are negatively correlated with OS. Multivariate analysis indicated that a high level of COMMD3 mRNA is an independent prognostic factor for shorter OS in HCC patients. However, the subset of patients with grade 3 HCC, K-M survival curves revealed that high COMMD3/5/7/8/9 expression and low COMMD4/10 expression were associated with shorter OS. In addition, the expression of COMMD2/3/10 was associated with tumor-induced immune response activation and immune infiltration in HCC. The expression of COMMD3 from GSE14520 dataset and 80 patients are both higher in tumor than that in normal tissue, and a higher level of COMMD3 mRNA is associated with shorter OS. Knockdown of COMMD3 inhibits human HCC cell lines proliferation in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that COMMD3 is an independent prognostic biomarker for the survival of HCC patients. COMMD3 supports the proliferation of HCC cells and contributes to the poor OS in HCC patients.

Abstract
CIGB-552 is a synthetic peptide that interacts with COMMD1 and upregulates its protein levels. The objectives of this phase I study were safety, pharmacokinetic profile, evaluation of the lymphocytes CD4+ and CD8+ and preliminary activity in patients with advanced tumors. A 3 + 3 dose-escalation design with seven dose levels was implemented. Patients were included until a grade 3 related adverse event occurred and the maximum tolerated dose was reached. The patients received subcutaneous administration of CIGB-552 three times per week for 2 weeks. Single-dose plasma pharmacokinetics was characterized at two dose levels, and tumor responses were classified by RECIST 1.1. Twenty-four patients received CIGB-552. Dose-limiting toxicity was associated with a transient grade 3 pruritic maculopapular rash at a dose of 7.0 mg. The maximum tolerated dose was defined as 4.7 mg. Ten patients were assessable for immunological status. Seven patients had significant changes in the ratio CD4/CD8 in response to CIGB-552 treatment; three patients did not modify the immunological status. Stable disease was observed in five patients, including two metastatic soft sarcomas. We conclude that CIGB-552 at dose 4.7 mg was well tolerated with no significant adverse events and appeared to provide some clinical benefits.

Abstract
Copper is a trace element indispensable for life, but at the same time it is implicated in reactive oxygen species formation. Several inherited copper storage diseases are described of which Wilson disease (copper overload, mutations in ATP7B gene) and Menkes disease (copper deficiency, mutations in ATP7A gene) are the most prominent ones. After the discovery in 2002 of a novel gene product (i.e. COMMD1) involved in hepatic copper handling in Bedlington terriers, studies on the mechanism of action of COMMD1 revealed numerous non-copper related functions. Effects on hepatic copper handling are likely mediated via interactions with ATP7B. In addition, COMMD1 has many more interacting partners which guide their routing to either the plasma membrane or, often in an ubiquitination-dependent fashion, trigger their proteolysis via the S26 proteasome. By stimulating NF-κB ubiquitination, COMMD1 dampens an inflammatory reaction. Finally, targeting COMMD1 function can be a novel approach in the treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration in inflammatory microenvironments of osteoporotic patients with large alveolar bone defects remains a great challenge. Macrophages are necessary for alveolar bone regeneration via their polarization and paracrine actions. Our previous studies showed that Cu-bearing Ti6Al4V alloys are capable of regulating macrophage responses. When considering the complexity of oral microenvironments, the influences of Cu-bearing Ti6Al4V alloys on osteoporotic macrophages in infectious microenvironments are worthy of further investigations. In this study, we fabricated Ti6Al4V-Cu alloy by selective laser melting technology and used Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (P.g-LPS) to imitate oral pathogenic bacterial infections. Then, we evaluated the impacts of Ti6Al4V-Cu on osteoporotic macrophages in infectious microenvironments. Our results indicated that Ti6Al4V-Cu not only inhibited the P.g-LPS-induced M1 polarization and pro-inflammatory cytokine production of osteoporotic macrophages but also shifted polarization towards the pro-regenerative M2 phenotype and remarkably promoted anti-inflammatory cytokine release. In addition, Ti6Al4V-Cu effectively promoted the activity of COMMD1 to potentially repress NF-κB-mediated transcription. It is concluded that the Cu-bearing Ti6Al4V alloy results in ameliorated osteoporotic macrophage responses to create a favourable microenvironment under infectious conditions, which holds promise to develop a GBR-barrier membrane for alveolar bone regeneration of osteoporosis patients.

Abstract
Copper is an essential transition metal for all eukaryotes. In mammals, intestinal copper absorption is mediated by the ATP7A copper transporter, whereas copper excretion occurs predominantly through the biliary route and is mediated by the paralog ATP7B. Both transporters have been shown to be recycled actively between the endosomal network and the plasma membrane by a molecular machinery known as the COMMD/CCDC22/CCDC93 or CCC complex. In fact, mutations in COMMD1 can lead to impaired biliary copper excretion and liver pathology in dogs and in mice with liver-specific Commd1 deficiency, recapitulating aspects of this phenotype. Nonetheless, the role of the CCC complex in intestinal copper absorption in vivo has not been studied, and the potential redundancy of various COMMD family members has not been tested. In this study, we examined copper homeostasis in enterocyte-specific and hepatocyte-specific COMMD gene-deficient mice. We found that, in contrast to effects in cell lines in culture, COMMD protein deficiency induced minimal changes in ATP7A in enterocytes and did not lead to altered copper levels under low- or high-copper diets, suggesting that regulation of ATP7A in enterocytes is not of physiological consequence. By contrast, deficiency of any of three COMMD genes (Commd1, Commd6 or Commd9) resulted in hepatic copper accumulation under high-copper diets. We found that each of these deficiencies caused destabilization of the entire CCC complex and suggest that this might explain their shared phenotype. Overall, we conclude that the CCC complex plays an important role in ATP7B endosomal recycling and function. Summary: Examination of copper homeostasis in enterocyte-specific and hepatocyte-specific COMMD gene-deficient mice revealed that homologs of COMMD1, which has been linked previously by genetic studies to copper regulation, also regulate copper handling in mammals.

Abstract
Physiologic microbe-host interactions in the intestine require the maintenance of the microbiota in a luminal compartment through a complex interplay between epithelial and immune cells. However, the roles of mucosal myeloid cells in this process remain incompletely understood. In this study, we identified that decreased myeloid cell phagocytic activity promotes colon tumorigenesis. We show that this is due to bacterial accumulation in the lamina propria and present evidence that the underlying mechanism is bacterial induction of prostaglandin production by myeloid cells. Moreover, we show that similar events in the normal colonic mucosa lead to reductions in Tuft cells, goblet cells, and the mucus barrier of the colonic epithelium. These alterations are again linked to the induction of prostaglandin production in response to bacterial penetration of the mucosa. Altogether, our work highlights immune cell-epithelial cell interactions triggered by the microbiota that control intestinal immunity, epithelial differentiation, and carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of infectious disease. Liver Kupffer cells (KCs) are responsible for sequestering and destroying S. aureus through the phagolysosomal pathway. Proteins belonging to the COMMD family emerge as key intracellular regulators of protein trafficking, but the role of COMMD10 in macrophage-mediated S. aureus eradication is unknown. Here we report that COMMD10 in macrophages was necessary for its timely elimination, as demonstrated with two different S. aureus subspecies. In vivo, COMMD10-deficient liver KCs exhibited impaired clearance of systemic S. aureus infection. S. aureus-infected COMMD10-deficient macrophages exhibited impaired activation of the transcription factor EB, resulting in reduced lysosomal biogenesis. Moreover, S. aureus-initiated phagolysosomal maturation and function were significantly attenuated in COMMD10-deficient macrophages. Finally, expression of COMMD/CCDC22/CCDC93 complex, linked to phagolysosomal maturation, was reduced by COMMD10 deficiency. Collectively, these results support an important role for COMMD10 in instructing macrophage phagolysosomal biogenesis and maturation during S. aureus infection.

Abstract
Ly6Chi monocyte tissue infiltrates play important roles in mediating local inflammation, bacterial elimination and resolution during sepsis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Yet, the immunoregulatory pathways dictating their activity remain poorly understood. COMMD family proteins are emerging as key regulators of signaling and protein trafficking events during inflammation, but the specific role of COMMD10 in governing Ly6Chi monocyte-driven inflammation is unknown. Here we report that COMMD10 curbs canonical and non-canonical inflammasome activity in Ly6Chi monocytes in a model of LPS-induced systemic inflammation. Accordingly, its deficiency in myeloid cells, but not in tissue resident macrophages, resulted in increased Ly6Chi monocyte liver and colonic infiltrates, elevated systemic cytokine storm, increased activation of caspase-1 and-11 in the liver and colon, and augmented IL-1β production systemically and specifically in LPS-challenged circulating Ly6Chi monocytes. These inflammatory manifestations were accompanied by impaired intestinal barrier function with ensuing bacterial dissemination to the mesenteric lymph nodes and liver leading to increased mortality. The increased inflammasome activity and intestinal barrier leakage were ameliorated by the inducible ablation of COMMD10-deficient Ly6Chi monocytes. In consistence with these results, COMMD10-deficiency in Ly6Chi monocytes, but not in intestinal-resident lamina propria macrophages, led to increased IL-1β production and aggravated colonic inflammation in a model of DSS-induced colitis. Finally, COMMD10 expression was reduced in Ly6Chi monocytes and their corresponding human CD14hi monocytes sorted from mice subjected to DSS-induced colitis or from IBD patients, respectively. Collectively, these results highlight COMMD10 as a negative regulator of Ly6Chi monocyte inflammasome activity during systemic inflammation and IBD.

Abstract
Copper metabolism Murr1 domain containing 1 (COMMD1) has multiple functions in the regulation of protein stability at the plasma membrane and in the cytoplasm. However, the regulation of COMMD1 transcriptional has remained to be elucidated. In the present study, the 5'‑flanking region (‑1,192/+83 bp) of the human COMMD1 gene was cloned. It was observed that the COMMD1 promoter region contains GC‑rich region that has 7 putative Sp1‑binding sites via in silico analysis. The proximal promoter region at ‑289/+83 bp was required for COMMD1 basal promoter activity by deletion constructs of COMMD1 promoter. Moreover, Sp1 inhibitor, mithramycin A, suppressed basal COMMD1 promoter activity. The Sp1‑binding site (‑11/‑1 bp) in the proximal promoter region was a critical site for COMMD1 gene regulation by Sp1 and Sp3. Sp1 upregulated COMMD1 promoter activity, whereas Sp3 suppressed it. Endogenous Sp1 and Sp3 bound to the proximal promoter region of COMMD1. Taken together, Sp1 constitutively regulates the basal expression of the COMMD1 gene in human epithelial cell lines.

Abstract
Copper metabolism MURR1 domain 1 (COMMD1) protein is a multifunctional protein, and its expression has been correlated with patients’ survival in different types of cancer. In vitro studies revealed that COMMD1 plays a role in sensitizing cancer cell lines to cisplatin, however, the mechanism and its role in platinum sensitivity in cancer has yet to be established. We evaluated the role of COMMD1 in cisplatin sensitivity in A2780 ovarian cancer cells and the relation between COMMD1 expression and response to platinum-based therapy in advanced stage high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) patients. We found that elevation of nuclear COMMD1 expression sensitized A2780 ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin-mediated cytotoxicity. This was accompanied by a more effective G2/M checkpoint, and decreased protein expression of the DNA repair gene BRCA1, and the apoptosis inhibitor BCL2. Furthermore, COMMD1 expression was immunohistochemically analyzed in two tissue micro-arrays (TMAs), representing a historical cohort and a randomized clinical trial-based cohort of advanced stage HGSOC tumor specimens. Expression of COMMD1 was observed in all ovarian cancer samples, however, specifically nuclear expression of COMMD1 was only observed in a subset of ovarian cancers. In our historical cohort, nuclear COMMD1 expression was associated with an improved response to chemotherapy (OR = 0.167; P = 0.038), although this association could not be confirmed in the second cohort, likely due to sample size. Taken together, these results suggest that nuclear expression of COMMD1 sensitize ovarian cancer to cisplatin, possibly by modulating the G2/M checkpoint and through controlling expression of genes involved in DNA repair and apoptosis.

Abstract
Nuclear factor (NF)-κB has evolved as a latent, inducible family of transcription factors fundamental in the control of the inflammatory response. The transcription of hundreds of genes involved in inflammation and immune homeostasis require NF-κB, necessitating the need for its strict control. The inducible ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of the cytoplasmic inhibitor of κB (IκB) proteins promotes the nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity of NF-κB. More recently, an additional role for ubiquitination in the regulation of NF-κB activity has been identified. In this case, the ubiquitination and degradation of the NF-κB subunits themselves plays a critical role in the termination of NF-κB activity and the associated transcriptional response. While there is still much to discover, a number of NF-κB ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinases have now been identified which coordinate to regulate the NF-κB transcriptional response. This review will focus the regulation of NF-κB subunits by ubiquitination, the key regulatory components and their impact on NF-κB directed transcription.

Abstract
STUDY HYPOTHESIS Does Copper Metabolism MURR1 Domain 1 (COMMD1) play a role in regulating the mediators involved in the terminal processes of human labour and delivery? STUDY FINDING COMMD1 plays a critical role in the termination of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity and the control of pro-inflammatory and pro-labour mediators. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Inflammation and infection are the biggest aetiological factors associated with preterm birth. NF-κB drives the transcription of pro-inflammatory mediators involved in the terminal effector pathways of human labour and delivery. In non-gestational tissues, COMMD1 is a negative regulator of NF-κB-induced inflammation. STUDY DESIGN, SAMPLES/MATERIALS, METHODS The mRNA and/or protein level of COMMD1 was assessed in myometrium (n = 8 per group) and fetal membranes (n = 8 per group) obtained from term non-labouring and labouring women at term, and fetal membranes (n = 8 per group) at preterm with and without histological chorioamnionitis. Primary human myometrial cells were used to determine the effect of pro-inflammatory mediators on COMMD1 level, and the effect of COMMD1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) on pro-labour mediators. Statistical significance was ascribed to a P < 0.05. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE COMMD1 expression was significantly decreased with spontaneous term labour in myometrium; in fetal membranes with histologically confirmed chorioamnionitis and in myometrial cells treated with pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, the bacterial product fibroblast-stimulating lipopeptide and the viral double stranded RNA analogue polyinosinic polycytidilic acid. Loss-of-function studies revealed an increase in inflammation- and infection-induced TNF-α, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and/or monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 mRNA abundance and/or release; and cyclo-oxygenase-2 mRNA level, release of prostaglandin (PG) F2α and mRNA level of the PGF2α receptor FP. In addition, siRNA knockdown of COMMD1 was associated with significantly increased NF-κB activation as evidenced by increased IL-1β-induced IκB-α protein degradation and NF-κB DNA binding activity. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The conclusions are based on in vitro experiments with cells isolated from myometrium. Animal models, however, will be required to establish whether COMMD1 activators can prevent spontaneous preterm birth in vivo. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS The control of COMMD1 activation may provide an alternative therapeutic strategy for reducing the release of pro-labour mediators in spontaneous preterm labour.

Abstract
Sustained activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in cancer cells has been shown to promote inflammation, expansion of cancer stem cell (CSC) population, and tumor development. In contrast, recent studies reveal that CSCs exhibit increased inflammation due to constitutive NF-κB activation; however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, the analysis of microarray data revealed upregulation of NF-κB-regulated pro-inflammatory genes and downregulation of copper metabolism MURR1 domain-containing 1 (COMMD1) during the enrichment for stemness in SAS head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells. The 3′-UTR of COMMD1 mRNA contains microRNA (miR)-205 target site. Parallel studies with HNSCC and NSCLC cells indicated that miR-205 is upregulated upon NF-κB activation and suppresses COMMD1 expression in stemness-enriched cancer cells. COMMD1 negatively regulates the inflammatory responses induced by TLR agonists, IL-1β, and TNF-α by targeting RelA for degradation. The shRNA-mediated downregulation of COMMD1 in cancer cells enhanced inflammatory response, generating favorable conditions for macrophage recruitment. In addition, genes associated with stemness were also upregulated in these cells, which exhibited increased potential for anchorage-independent growth. Furthermore, COMMD1 downregulation promoted in vivo tumorigenesis and tumor growth, and tumors derived from COMMD1-knockdown cells displayed elevated level of NF-κB activation, increased expression of inflammatory- and stemness-associated genes, and contain expanded population of tumor-associated leukocytes and stemness-enriched cancer cells. These results suggest that COMMD1 downregulation by miR-205 promotes tumor development by modulating a positive feedback loop that amplifies inflammatory- and stemness-associated properties of cancer cells.

Abstract
Foreign body reaction induced by biomaterials is a serious problem in clinical applications. Although 317L-Cu stainless steel (317L-Cu SS) is a new type of implant material with antibacterial ability and osteogenic property, the foreign body reaction level still needs to be assessed due to its Cu(2+) releasing property. For this purpose, two macrophage cell lines were selected to detect cellular proliferation, apoptosis, mobility, and the secretions of inflammatory cytokines with the influence of 317L-Cu SS. Our results indicated that 317L-Cu SS had no obvious effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of macrophages; however, it significantly increased cellular migration and TNF-α secretion. Then, C57 mice were used to assess foreign body reaction induced by 317L-Cu SS. We observed significantly enhanced recruitment of inflammatory cells (primarily macrophages) with increased TNF-α secretion and apoptosis level in tissues around the materials in the early stage of implantation. With tissue healing, both inflammation and apoptosis significantly decreased. Further, we discovered that NF-κB pathway and Caspase 3 played important roles in 317L-Cu SS induced inflammation and apoptosis. We concluded that 317L-Cu SS could briefly promote the inflammation and apoptosis of surrounding tissues by regulating the activity of NF-κB pathway and Caspase 3. All these discoveries demonstrated that 317L-Cu SS has a great potential for clinical application.

Abstract
Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) is a family of transcription factors that regulate immune responses, cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Activity of the NF-κΒ pathway on a cellular level is tightly controlled through various mechanisms, one of which is the ubiquitin-dependent degradation of chromatin-bound NF-κB subunits. In general, the ubiquitination of NF-κB regulates the duration of gene transcription activated in response to inflammatory signals. In this article, we present protocols to examine the in vivo ubiquitination status of RelA, a critical protein of the NF-κB family.

Abstract
COMMD1 deficiency results in defective copper homeostasis, but the mechanism for this has remained elusive. Here we report that COMMD1 is directly linked to early endosomes through its interaction with a protein complex containing CCDC22, CCDC93, and C16orf62. This COMMD/CCDC22/CCDC93 (CCC) complex interacts with the multisubunit WASH complex, an evolutionarily conserved system, which is required for endosomal deposition of F-actin and cargo trafficking in conjunction with the retromer. Interactions between the WASH complex subunit FAM21, and the carboxyl-terminal ends of CCDC22 and CCDC93 are responsible for CCC complex recruitment to endosomes. We show that depletion of CCC complex components leads to lack of copper-dependent movement of the copper transporter ATP7A from endosomes, resulting in intracellular copper accumulation and modest alterations in copper homeostasis in humans with CCDC22 mutations. This work provides a mechanistic explanation for the role of COMMD1 in copper homeostasis and uncovers additional genes involved in the regulation of copper transporter recycling.

Abstract
Nucleolar sequestration of the RelA subunit of nuclear factor (NF)-κB is an important mechanism for regulating NF-κB transcriptional activity. Ubiquitylation, facilitated by COMMD1 (also known as MURR1), acts as a crucial nucleolar-targeting signal for RelA, but how this ubiquitylation is regulated, and how it differs from cytokine-mediated ubiquitylation, which causes proteasomal degradation of RelA, is poorly understood. Here, we report a new role for p300 (also known as EP300) in controlling stimulus-specific ubiquitylation of RelA, through modulation of COMMD1. We show that p300 is required for stress-mediated ubiquitylation and nucleolar translocation of RelA, but that this effect is indirect. We also demonstrate that COMMD1 is acetylated by p300 and that acetylation protects COMMD1 from XIAP-mediated proteosomal degradation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that COMMD1 acetylation is enhanced by aspirin-mediated stress, and that this acetylation is absolutely required for the protein to bind RelA under these conditions. In contrast, tumour necrosis factor (TNF) has no effect on COMMD1 acetylation. Finally, we demonstrate these findings have relevance in a whole tissue setting. These data offer a new paradigm for the regulation of NF-κB transcriptional activity, and the multiple other pathways controlled by COMMD1.

Abstract
The transcription factor NF-κB plays a critical role in the inflammatory response and it has been implicated in various diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Although transient NF-κB activation may protect tissues from stress, a prolonged NF-κB activation can have a detrimental effect on tissue homeostasis and therefore accurate termination is crucial. Copper Metabolism MURR1 Domain-containing 1 (COMMD1), a protein with functions in multiple pathways, has been shown to suppress NF-κB activity. However, its action in controlling liver inflammation has not yet been investigated. To determine the cell-type-specific contribution of Commd1 to liver inflammation, we used hepatocyte and myeloid-specific Commd1-deficient mice. We also used a mouse model of NAFLD to study low-grade chronic liver inflammation: we fed the mice a high fat, high cholesterol (HFC) diet, which results in hepatic lipid accumulation accompanied by liver inflammation. Depletion of hepatocyte Commd1 resulted in elevated levels of the NF-κB transactivation subunit p65 (RelA) but, surprisingly, the level of liver inflammation was not aggravated. In contrast, deficiency of myeloid Commd1 exacerbated diet-induced liver inflammation. Unexpectedly we observed that hepatic and myeloid Commd1 deficiency in the mice both augmented hepatic lipid accumulation. The elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines in myeloid Commd1-deficient mice might be responsible for the increased level of steatosis. This increase was not seen in hepatocyte Commd1-deficient mice, in which increased lipid accumulation appeared to be independent of inflammation. Our mouse models demonstrate a cell-type-specific role for Commd1 in suppressing liver inflammation and in the progression of NAFLD.

Abstract
NF-κB is a master transcriptional regulator of inflammation that plays an important role in oncogenesis, particularly in tumors that arise in the context of inflammation. Copper metabolism MURR1 domain-containing 1 (COMMD1) is a negative regulator of NF-κB. Recent genetic-based studies in both mice and human patients indicate that COMMD1 has an important role in controlling intestinal inflammation and constraining progression to colitis-associated cancer.
