The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM, also known as NCAM1) is important during neural development, because it contributes to neurite outgrowth in response to its ligands at the cell surface. In the adult brain, NCAM is involved in regulating synaptic plasticity. The molecular mechanisms underlying delivery of NCAM to the neuronal cell surface remain poorly understood. We used a protein macroarray and identified the kinesin light chain 1 (KLC1), a component of the kinesin-1 motor protein, as a binding partner of the intracellular domains of the two transmembrane isoforms of NCAM, NCAM140 and NCAM180. KLC1 binds to amino acids CGKAGPGA within the intracellular domain of NCAM and colocalizes with kinesin-1 in the Golgi compartment. Delivery of NCAM180 to the cell surface is increased in CHO cells and neurons co-transfected with kinesin-1. We further demonstrate that the p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) competes with KLC1 for binding to the intracellular domain of NCAM and contributes to the regulation of the membrane insertion of NCAM. Our results indicate that NCAM is delivered to the cell surface through a kinesin-1-mediated transport mechanism in a PAK1-dependent manner.

Aim: Macrophage foam cell formation is the most prominent characteristic of the early stages of atherosclerosis. Ubiquitin Fold Modifier 1 (UFM1) is a new member of the ubiquitin-like protein family, and its underlying mechanism of action in macrophage foam cell formation is poorly understood. Our current study focuses on UFM1 and investigates its role in macrophage foam cell formation. Methods: Using real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot analysis, we first analyzed the UFM1 expression in mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) from ApoE / mice in vivo and in human macrophages treated with oxLDL in vitro. Subsequently, the effects of UFM1 on macrophages foam cell formation were determined by Nile Red staining and direct lipid analysis. We then examined whether UFM1 affects the process of lipid metabolism in macrophages. Lastly, with the method of small interfering RNA (siRNA), we delineated the mechanism of UFM1 to attenuate lipid accumulation in THP-1 macrophages. Results: UFM1 is dramatically upregulated under atherosclerosis conditions both in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, UFM1 markedly decreased macrophage foam cell formation. Mechanistic studies revealed that UFM1 increased the macrophage cholesterol efflux, which was due to the increased expression of ATP-binding cassette transporters A1 (ABCA1) and G1 (ABCG1). Furthermore, the upregulation of ABCA1 and ABCG1 by UFM1 resulted from liver X receptor (LXR ) activation, which was confirmed by the observation that LXR siRNA prevented the expression of ABCA1 and ABCG1. Consistent with this, the UFM1-mediated attenuation of lipid accumulation was abolished by such inhibition. Conclusions: Taken together, our results showed that UFM1 could suppress foam cell formation via the LXR -dependent pathway.

Background Dysfunctional processes in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases lead to neural degeneration in the central and peripheral nervous system. Research demonstrates that neurodegeneration of any kind is a systemic disease that may even begin outside of the region vulnerable to the disease. Neurodegenerative diseases are defined by the vulnerabilities and pathology occurring in the regions affected. Method A random forest machine learning analysis on whole blood transcriptomes from six neurodegenerative diseases generated unbiased disease‐classifying RNA transcripts subsequently subjected to pathway analysis. Results We report that transcripts of the blood transcriptome selected for each of the neurodegenerative diseases represent fundamental biological cell processes including transcription regulation, degranulation, immune response, protein synthesis, apoptosis, cytoskeletal components, ubiquitylation/proteasome, and mitochondrial complexes that are also affected in the brain and reveal common themes across six neurodegenerative diseases. Conclusion Neurodegenerative diseases share common dysfunctions in fundamental cellular processes. Identifying regional vulnerabilities will reveal unique disease mechanisms. Highlights Transcriptomics offer information about dysfunctional processes. Comparing multiple diseases will expose unique malfunctions within diseases. Blood RNA can be used ante mortem to track expression changes in neurodegenerative diseases. Protocol standardization will make public datasets compatible.
