    Abstract Endochondral ossification requires proper control of chondrocyte proliferation, differentiation, survival, and organization. Here we show that knockout of α-parvin, an integrin-associated focal adhesion protein, from murine limbs causes defects in endochondral ossification and dwarfism. The mutant long bones were shorter but wider, and the growth plates became disorganized, especially in the proliferative zone. With two-photon time-lapse imaging of bone explant culture, we provide direct evidence showing that α-parvin regulates chondrocyte rotation, a process essential for chondrocytes to form columnar structure. Furthermore, loss of α-parvin increased binucleation, elevated cell death, and caused dilation of the resting zones of mature growth plates. Single-cell RNA-seq analyses revealed alterations of transcriptome in all three zones (i.e., resting, proliferative, and hypertrophic zones) of the growth plates. Our results demonstrate a crucial role of α-parvin in long bone development and shed light on the cellular mechanism through which α-parvin regulates the longitudinal growth of long bones.

    Abstract Proline metabolism is critical for cellular response to microenvironmental stress in living organisms across different kingdoms, ranging from bacteria, plants to animals. In bacteria and plants, proline is known to accrue in response to osmotic and other stresses. In higher organisms such as human, proline metabolism plays important roles in physiology as well as pathological processes including cancer. The importance of proline metabolism in physiology and diseases lies in the fact that the products of proline metabolism are intimately involved in essential cellular processes including protein synthesis, energy production and redox signaling. A surge of protein synthesis in fast proliferating cancer cells, for example, results in markedly increased demand for proline. Proline synthesis is frequently unable to meet the demand in fast proliferating cancer cells. The inadequacy of proline or “proline vulnerability” in cancer may provide an opportunity for therapeutic control of cancer progression. To this end, it is important to understand the signaling mechanism through which proline synthesis is regulated. In a recent study (Guo et al., Nat Commun 11(1):4913, doi:10.1038/s41467-020-18753-6), we have identified PINCH-1, a component of cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesions, as an important regulator of proline synthesis and cancer progression.

    Abstract Alterations of cell mechano-environment and metabolism are common features of malignant neoplasm. We recently showed that increased stiffness of extracellular matrix is intrinsically linked to up-regulation of proline synthesis through a mechano-responsive fermitin family homolog 2 (FERMT2, best known as kindlin-2) and pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1(PYCR1) complex, which in turn promotes collagen matrix synthesis, cell proliferation, survival, and cancer progression.

    Abstract We propose a signaling pathway in which cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion components PINCH-1 and kindlin-2 sense mechanical signals from ECM and link them to proline biosynthesis, a vital metabolic pathway for macromolecule synthesis, redox balance, and ECM remodeling. ECM stiffening promotes PINCH-1 expression via integrin signaling, which suppresses dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) expression and mitochondrial fission, resulting in increased kindlin-2 translocation into mitochondria and interaction with Δ

    Abstract Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness plays an important role in the decision making process of smooth muscle differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here we show that a signaling axis consisting of PINCH-1 and Notch2 is critically involved in mediating the effect of ECM stiffness on smooth muscle differentiation of MSCs. Notch2 level is markedly increased in ECM stiffness-induced smooth muscle differentiation of human placental MSCs. Knockdown of Notch2 from human placental MSCs effectively inhibits ECM stiffness-induced smooth muscle differentiation, whereas overexpression of North intracellular domain (NICD2) is sufficient to drive human placental MSC differentiation toward smooth muscle cells. At the molecular level, Notch2 directly interacts with PINCH-1. The interaction of Notch2 with PINCH-1 is significantly increased in response to ECM stiffness favoring smooth muscle differentiation. Furthermore, depletion of PINCH-1 from human placental MSCs reduces Notch2 level and consequently suppresses ECM stiffness-induced smooth muscle differentiation. Re-expression of PINCH-1, but not that of a Notch2-binding defective PINCH-1 mutant, in PINCH-1 knockdown human placental MSCs restores smooth muscle differentiation. Finally, overexpression of NICD2 is sufficient to override PINCH-1 deficiency-induced defect in smooth muscle differentiation. Our results identify an ECM stiffness-responsive PINCH-1-Notch2 interaction that is critically involved in ECM stiffness-induced smooth muscle differentiation of human placental MSCs.

    Abstract Proline metabolic reprogramming is intimately involved in cancer progression. We recently identified a critical role of PINCH-1, a cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion protein whose expression is elevated in lung adenocarcinoma, in the promotion of proline biosynthesis, fibrosis and lung adenocarcinoma growth. How PINCH-1 promotes proline biosynthesis, however, was incompletely understood. In this study, we show that PINCH-1 promotes the expression of Δ¹-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase (P5CS), a key enzyme that links glutamate metabolism to proline biosynthesis. Depletion of PINCH-1 from lung adenocarcinoma cells reduced the protein but not mRNA level of P5CS, resulting in down-regulation of the cellular level of P5C and cell proliferation. Treatment of the cells with protease inhibitor leupeptin effectively reversed PINCH-1 deficiency-induced reduction of the P5CS level. At the molecular level, PINCH-1, through its LIM2 domain, physically associated with P5CS in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Re-expression of wild type PINCH-1, but not that of the PINCH-1 LIM2 deletion mutant, in PINCH-1 deficient lung adenocarcinoma cells restored P5CS expression, proline biosynthesis and cell proliferation. Finally, P5CS expression, like that of PINCH-1, is elevated in human and mouse lung adenocarcinoma. Using a mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma in which PINCH-1 is conditionally ablated, we show that knockout of PINCH-1 from lung adenocarcinoma effectively reduced the P5CS level in vivo. Our results reveal an important role of PINCH-1 in the promotion of P5CS expression, which likely contributes to proline metabolic reprogramming and consequently lung adenocarcinoma progression.
