  15. Proteoglycan from salmon nasal cartridge promotes in vitro wound healing of fibroblast monolayers via the CD44 receptor Reviewed

    Ito G, Kobayashi T, Takeda Y, Sokabe M

    Biochem Biophys Res Commun   Vol. 456 ( 3 ) page: 792-8   2015

     More details

    Language:English   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    Proteoglycans (PGs) are involved in various cellular functions including cell growth, adhesion, and differentiation; however, their physiological roles are not fully understood. In this study, we examined the effect of PG purified from salmon nasal cartilage (SNC-PG) on wound closure using tissue-cultured cell monolayers, an in vitro wound-healing assay. The results indicated that SNC-PG significantly promoted wound closure in NIH/3T3 cell monolayers by stimulating both cell proliferation and cell migration. SNC-PG was effective in concentrations from 0.1 to 10μg/ml, but showed much less effect at higher concentrations (100-1000μg/ml). The effect of SNC-PG was abolished by chondroitinase ABC, indicating that chondroitin sulfates (CSs), a major component of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in SNC-PG, are crucial for the SNC-PG effect. Furthermore, chondroitin 6-sulfate (C-6-S), a major CS of SNC-PG GAGs, could partially reproduce the SNC-PG effect and partially inhibit the binding of SNC-PG to cells, suggesting that SNC-PG exerts its effect through an interaction between the GAGs in SNC-PG and the cell surface. Neutralization by anti-CD44 antibodies or CD44 knockdown abolished SNC-PG binding to the cells and the SNC-PG effect on wound closure. These results suggest that interactions between CS-rich GAG-chains of SNC-PG and CD44 on the cell surface are responsible for the SNC-PG effect on wound closure.

    Animal cell utilizes mechanosensors that sense and convert mechanical signals into biochemical signals. However, the details of those sensors or signals remain unclear. Recently mitochondria have been demonstrated to activate several intracellular signaling pathways upon mechanical stress. Therefore, we hypothesize that mitochondria can feel and respond to mechanical stress as mechanosensors. In this project, we try to verify our hypothesis and to investigate the mitochondrial signaling pathways upon mechanical stress. We found that cultured mesenchymal stem cells elevated mitochondrial calcium concentration in response to mechanical stress, resulting in increased mitochondrial ATP levels. Pharmacological studies showed that the activity of mechanosensitive channels activities was not essential to the changes in mitochondrial calcium concentration. These results support our hypothesis that mitochondria could sense mechanical stimuli and transduce them to biochemical signals.

    This study developed a centrifugal fluorescence microscope system that can observe the gravity response of cells in real time. In this way, we succeeded in live imaging of morphological changes of cells due to gravitational stimulation by rotation for several tens of minutes.
    We also discovered a new mechanism for the gravity sensing of cells. In space, the bone density of astronauts decreases. In agreement with this, simulated microgravity acts as a suppressive factor in bone differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Our results suggest that the activity of the mechanosensitive ion channel TRPV4 is reduced in the simulated microgravity environment, and the activity of the protein kinase C is subsequently reduced to suppress the nuclear translocation of the transcriptional cofactor YAP. In addition, we have also developed a statistical method for uniformly analyzing gene expression levels among different species.
