Itgb1‐Mediated Stabilization of Vimentin Alleviates Excessive Mechanical Stress‐Induced Nucleus Pulposus Cell Pyroptosis and Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via PINK1‐Parkin‐Dependent Mitophagy

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Excessive mechanical stress induces nucleus pulposus cell pyroptosis and intervertebral disc degeneration. Itgb1 inhibits MNAT1‐mediated ubiquitination and degradation of Vimentin. Vimentin alleviates excessive mechanical stress‐induced nucleus pulposus cell pyroptosis and intervertebral disc degeneration through PINK1‐Parkin‐dependent mitophagy ...

Vimentin intermediate filaments facilitate transportation of hepatitis C virus components

European Journal of Cell Biology
Vimentin, an intermediate filament protein, primarily contributes to intracellular organization, cell migration, and signal transduction. In recent years, the role of intermediate filaments in viral infection has garnered increasing attention.

Desmin is not ubiquitously expressed in head and neck muscle fibers

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Desmin is not ubiquitously expressed in human head and neck muscle fibers. A subset of fibers showed absent or very weak desmin immunoreactivity, with corresponding reduction or absence of desmin mRNA expression. Abstract Desmin, a major muscle‐specific intermediate filament protein, is widely regarded as a ubiquitous component of mature skeletal ...

Ion type and valency differentially drive vimentin tetramers into intermediate filaments or higher order assemblies

, 2021
Vimentin intermediate filaments, together with actin filaments and microtubules, constitute the cytoskeleton in cells of mesenchymal origin. The mechanical properties of the filaments themselves are encoded in their molecular architecture and depend on

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...

Impairment of Intermediate Filament Expression Reveals Impact on Cell Functions Independent from Keratinocyte Transformation

Cells
Although cytoplasmic intermediate filaments (cIFs) are essential for cell physiology, the molecular and cell functional consequences of cIF disturbances are poorly understood.

Persistent Erythrocytosis in a Dog With a Spinal Sclerosing Paraganglioma

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 7‐year‐old, male, castrated, mixed‐breed dog presented with right pelvic limb lameness and pain on posturing to defecate that began 1.5 years prior to presentation. Radiographs taken 8 months prior to presentation showed a small lytic lesion of the L6 vertebral body, and CBCs showed a persistently increased hematocrit (HCT) for at least 2 ...

Update on cellular expression and function of ANO1 channels in urethral smooth muscle

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Activation of ANO1 channels and resulting Cl− efflux are suggested to modulate urethral smooth muscle contractility by enhancing Ca2+ influx via voltage‐dependent Ca2+ entry and resulting contraction in urethral smooth muscle cells.

Hypoxia and the cytoskeleton

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the activation of hypoxia‐sensitive pathways, the influence of hypoxia and associated pathways on the cytoskeleton, and the impact of these on disease progression. Abstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis.

Maternal protein restriction programs the ageing kidney: Proteomic signatures of early‐life origin renal and metabolic dysfunction

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Maternal protein restriction (MPR) induced persistent renal histopathological alterations accompanied by elevated serum creatinine levels. Nephron‐segment proteomic analysis revealed region‐specific molecular dysregulation affecting Bowman's capsule (PARK7, oxidative stress sensor; MSN, cytoskeletal organization), the proximal ...
