“…BV2 cells at a density of 2 × 10 6 cells were inoculated into a 60 mm culture dish. After TUS, TMAS, or sham treatment, cells were treated with the phagocytosis inhibitor cytochalasin D (Calbiochem, Saint Louis, MO, USA; Cat#250255, RRID:HY-19693/cs-6968, 10 µM) for 30 min [81], and incubation using HiLyte™ Fluor 555-labeled-Aβ42 oligomers (Anaspec, Fremont, CA, USA; Cat# AS-60480-01, 500 nM) for an additional 4 h followed [82]. Cold PBS-washed cells were used for the detection of Fluor 555-labeled Aβ42 fluorescence under a confocal microscope.…”

Transcranial magneto-acoustic stimulation (TMAS), which is characterized by high spatiotemporal resolution and high penetrability, is a non-invasive neuromodulation technology based on the magnetic–acoustic coupling effect. To reveal the effects of TMAS treatment on amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaque and synaptic plasticity in Alzheimer’s disease, we conducted a comparative analysis of TMAS and transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) based on acoustic effects in 5xFAD mice and BV2 microglia cells. We found that the TMAS-TUS treatment effectively reduced amyloid plaque loads and plaque-associated neurotoxicity. Additionally, TMAS-TUS treatment ameliorated impairments in long-term memory formation and long-term potentiation. Moreover, TMAS-TUS treatment stimulated microglial proliferation and migration while enhancing the phagocytosis and clearance of Aβ. In 5xFAD mice with induced microglial exhaustion, TMAS-TUS treatment-mediated Aβ plaque reduction, synaptic rehabilitation improvement, and the increase in phospho-AKT levels were diminished. Overall, our study highlights that stimulation of hippocampal microglia by TMAS treatment can induce anti-cognitive impairment effects via PI3K-AKT signaling, providing hope for the development of new strategies for an adjuvant therapy for Alzheimer’s disease.

“…In addition, Sosnik et al reported that TSSK6 is involved in IZUMO1 redistribution through the regulation of actin polymerization after the acrosomal reaction. Indeed, the involvement of F-actin via histone acetylation regulation has recently been demonstrated, being located at the apical part of the midpiece [26].…”

IZUMO1 is an acrosome transmembrane protein implicated in the adhesion and fusion of gametes. This study aims to describe the distribution of IZUMO1 in human sperm under different physiological conditions: before capacitation (NCS), at one-hour capacitation (CS1), after a hyaluronic acid (HA) selection test (mature, MS1 and immature, IS1), and induced acrosome reaction from one-hour-capacitated sperm (ARS1). The data obtained in NCS, CS1, and MS1 significantly highlight dotted fluorescence in the acrosomal region (P1) as the major staining pattern (~70%). Moreover, we describe a new distribution pattern (P2) with a dotted acrosomal region and a labelled equatorial region that significantly increases in HA-bound spermatozoa, suggesting the onset of the migration of IZUMO1. In contrast, unbound spermatozoa presented an increase in P3 (equatorial region labelled) and P4 (not labelled). Finally, costaining to observe IZUMO1 distribution and acrosome status was performed in ARS1. Interestingly, we reported a variety of combinations between the IZUMO1 staining patterns and the acrosomal stages. In conclusion, these data show as a novelty the diffusion of the IZUMO1 protein during different physiological conditions that could contribute to the improvement in sperm selection techniques.

The Dual Roles of Lamin A/C in Macrophage Mechanotransduction

Cellular mechanotransduction is a complex physiological process that integrates alterations in the external environment with cellular behaviours. In recent years, the role of the nucleus in mechanotransduction has gathered increased attention. Our research investigated the involvement of lamin A/C, a component of the nuclear envelope, in the mechanotransduction of macrophages under compressive force. We discovered that hydrostatic compressive force induces heterochromatin formation, decreases SUN1/SUN2 levels, and transiently downregulates lamin A/C. Notably, downregulated lamin A/C increased nuclear permeability to yes‐associated protein 1 (YAP1), thereby amplifying certain effects of force, such as inflammation induction and proliferation inhibition. Additionally, lamin A/C deficiency detached the linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex from nuclear envelope, consequently reducing force‐induced DNA damage and IRF4 expression. In summary, lamin A/C exerted dual effects on macrophage responses to mechanical compression, promoting certain outcomes while inhibiting others. It operated through two distinct mechanisms: enhancing nuclear permeability and impairing intracellular mechanotransmission. The results of this study support the understanding of the mechanisms of intracellular mechanotransduction and may assist in identifying potential therapeutic targets for mechanotransduction‐related diseases.
