    Abstract Studies of human genetic disorders and animal models indicate that matriptase plays essential roles in proteolytic processes associated with profilaggrin processing and desquamation at late stages of epidermal differentiation. The tissue distribution profile and zymogen activation status in human skin, however, suggests that matriptase physiological function in the skin more likely lies in the proliferating and differentiating keratinocytes in the basal and spinous layers. Marked acanthosis with expanded spinous layer and lack of significant changes in intensity and expression pattern for several terminal differentiation markers in the skin of ARIH patients support matriptase's role in earlier rather than the later stages of differentiation. In addition to the tissue distribution, differential subcellular localization further limits the ability of extracellular matriptase proteolytic activity to access the cytosolic non-membrane-bound keratohyalin granules, in which profilaggrin processing occurs. The short lifespan of active matriptase, which results from tightly controlled zymogen activation, rapid inhibition by HAI-1, and shedding from cell surface, indicates that active matriptase likely performs physiological functions via limited proteolysis on its substrates, as needed, rather than via a continuous bulk process. We, here, review these spatiotemporal controls of matriptase proteolytic activity at the biochemical, cellular, and tissue level. Based on this in-depth understanding of how matriptase activity is regulated, we argue that there is no direct involvement of matriptase proteolytic activity in profilaggrin processing and desquamation. The defects in epidermal terminal differentiation associated with matriptase deficiency are likely secondary and are due to putative disruption at earlier stages of differentiation.

    Abstract Hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor (HAI)-2 is an integral membrane Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor that regulates the proteolysis of matriptase and prostasin in a cell-type selective manner. The cell-type selective nature of HAI-2 function depends largely on whether the inhibitor and potential target enzymes are targeted to locations in close proximity. The N-glycan moiety of HAI-2 can function as a subcellular targeting signal. HAI-2 is synthesized with 1 of 2 different N-glycan modifications: one of oligomannose-type, which largely remains in the endoplasmic reticulum/GA, and another of complex-type, which is targeted toward the apical surface in vesicle-like structures, and could function as an inhibitor of matriptase and prostasin. HAI-2 contains 2 putative N-glycosylation sites, Asn-57 and Asn-94, point mutations of which were generated and characterized in this study. The protein expression profile of the HAI-2 mutants indicates that Asn-57, and not Asn-94, is responsible for the N-glycosylation of both HAI-2 species, suggesting that the form with oligomannose-type N-glycan is the precursor of the form with complex-type N-glycan. Unexpectedly, the vast majority of non-glycosylated HAI-2 is synthesized into multiple disulfide-linked oligomers, which lack protease inhibitory function, likely due to distorted conformations caused by the disarrayed disulfide linkages. Although forced expression of HAI-2 in HAI-2 knockout cells artificially enhances HAI-2 oligomerization, disulfide-linked HAI-2 oligomers can also be observed in unmodified cells. These results suggest that N-glycosylation on Asn-57 is required for folding into a functional HAI-2 with full protease suppressive activity and correct subcellular targeting signal.

    Abstract Mutations in the Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor HAI-2, encoded by SPINT2, are responsible for the pathogenesis of syndromic congenital sodium diarrhea (SCSD), an intractable secretory diarrhea of infancy. Some of the mutations cause defects in the functionally required Kunitz domain 1 and/or subcellular targeting signals. Almost all SCSD patients, however, harbor SPINT2 missense mutations that affect the functionally less important Kunitz domain 2. How theses single amino acid substitutions inactivate HAI-2 was, here, investigated by the doxycycline-inducible expression of three of these mutants in HAI-2-knockout Caco-2 human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. Examining protein expressed from these HAI-2 mutants reveals that roughly 50% of the protein is synthesized as disulfide-linked oligomers that lose protease inhibitory activity due to the distortion of the Kunitz domains by disarrayed disulfide bonding. Although the remaining protein is synthesized as monomers, its glycosylation status suggests that the HAI-2 monomer remains in the immature, lightly glycosylated form, and is not converted to the heavily glycosylated mature form. Heavily glycosylated HAI-2 possesses full anti-protease activity and appropriate subcellular targeting signals, including the one embedded in the complex-type N-glycan. As predicted, these HAI-2 mutants cannot suppress the excessive prostasin proteolysis caused by HAI-2 deletion. The oligomerization and glycosylation defects have also been observed in a colorectal adenocarcinoma line that harbors one of these SPINT2 missense mutations. Our study reveals that the abnormal protein folding and N-glycosylation can cause widespread HAI-2 inactivation in SCSD patents.

    Abstract There are few stem cells in human peripheral blood (PB). Increasing the population and plasticity of stem cells in PB and applying it to regenerative medicine require suitable culture methods. In this study, leukocyte populations 250 mL of PB were collected using a blood separator before that were cultured in optimal cell culture medium for 4 to 7 days. After culturing, stemness characteristics were analyzed, and red blood cells were removed from the cultured cells. In our results, stemness markers of the leukocyte populations Sca-1+ CD45+, CD117+ CD45+, and very small embryonic-like stem cells CD34+ Lin- CD45- and CXCR4+ Lin- CD45- were significantly increased. Furthermore, the expression of stem cell genes OCT4 (POU5F1), NANOG, SOX2, and the self-renewal gene TERT was analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in these cells, and it showed a significant increase. These cells could be candidates for multi-potential cells and were further induced using trans-differentiation culture methods. These cells showed multiple differentiation potentials for osteocytes, nerve cells, cardiomyocytes, and hepatocytes. These results indicate that appropriate culture methods can be applied to increase expression of pluripotent genes and plasticity. Leukocytes of human PB can be induced to trans-differentiate into pluripotent potential cells, which will be an important breakthrough in regenerative medicine.

    Abstract Formation and maintenance of skin barrier function require tightly controlled membrane-associated proteolysis, in which the integral membrane Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor, HAI-1, functions as the primary inhibitor of the membrane-associated serine proteases, matriptase and prostasin. Previously, HAI-1 loss in HaCaT human keratinocytes resulted in an expected increase in prostasin proteolysis but a paradoxical decrease in matriptase proteolysis. The paradoxical decrease in shed active matriptase is further investigated in this study with an unexpected discovery of novel functions of fibroblast growth factor-binding protein 1 (FGFBP1), which acts as an extracellular ligand that can rapidly elicit F-actin rearrangement and subsequently affect the morphology of human keratinocytes. This novel growth factor-like function is in stark contrast to the canonical activity of this protein through interactions with FGFs for its pathophysiological functions. This discovery began with the observation that HAI-1 KO HaCaT cells lose the characteristic cobblestone morphology of the parental cells and exhibit aberrant F-actin formation along with altered subcellular targeting of matriptase and HAI-2. The alterations in cell morphology and F-actin status caused by targeted HAI-1 deletion can be restored by treatment with conditioned medium from parental HaCaT cells, in which FGFBP1 was identified by tandem mass spectrometry. Recombinant FGFBP1 down to 1 ng/ml was able to revert the changes caused by HAI-1 loss. Our study reveals a novel function of FGFBP1 in the maintenance of keratinocyte morphology, which depends on HAI-1.

    Abstract We have previously reported that ultrasound (US)-mediated microbubble (MB) cavitation (US-MB) changed the permeability of the skin and significantly enhanced transdermal drug delivery (TDD) without changing the structure of the skin. In this study we found that US-MB enhanced TDD via disruption of epidermal cell-cell junctions and increased matriptase activity. Matriptase is a membrane-bound serine protease regulated by its inhibitor hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor-1 (HAI-1), and it is expressed in most epithelial tissues under physiologic conditions. Matriptase is expressed in mice after chronic exposure to UV radiation. This study found that US-MB can be used to monitor active matriptase, which rapidly formed the canonical 120-kDa matriptase-HAI-1 complex. These processes were observed in HaCaT human keratinocytes when matriptase activation was induced by US-MB. The results of immunoblot analysis indicated that the matriptase-HAI-1 complex can be detected from 10 min to 3 h after US-MB. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) of human skin revealed that US-MB rapidly increased the activated matriptase, which was observed in the basal layer, with this elevation lasting 3 h. After 3 h, the activated matriptase extended from the basal layer to the granular layer, and then gradually decayed from 6 to 12 h. Moreover, prostasin expression was observed in the epidermal granular layer to the spinous layer, and became more obvious in the granular layer after 3 h. Prostasin was also detected in the cytoplasm or on the cell membrane after 6 h. These results suggest that matriptase plays an important role in recovering from US-MB-induced epidermal cell-cell junction disruption within 6 h. US-MB is therefore a potentially effective method for noninvasive TDD in humans.

    Abstract The zinc-finger protein which regulates apoptosis and cell cycle arrest 1 (Zac1), encoded by Plagl1 gene, is a seven-zinc-finger containing transcription factor belonging to the imprinted genome and is expressed in diverse types of embryonic and adult human tissues. Zac1 is postulated to be a tumor suppressor by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis through interacting and modulating transcriptional activity of p53 as it was named. Correspondingly, the reduction or loss of Zac1 expression is associated with the incidence and progression of several human tumors, including cervical cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, pituitary tumors, and basal cell carcinoma, implying the rationality of utilizing Zac1 expression as novel a biomarker for the evaluation of cervical cancer prognosis. However, to date, it has not been elucidated whether Zac1 expression is related to the prognosis of patients in clinical cervical cancer tumor samples. To address the questions outlined above, we report here a comprehensive investigation of Zac1 expression in biopsies of clinical cervical carcinoma. By analyzing Zac1 expression in various gene expression profiling of cervical cancer databases, we show the association between high Zac1 expression and poor prognosis of cervical cancer. Functional enrichment analysis showed that high Zac1 expression was associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which was further observed in clinical characteristics and metastatic carcinoma samples using immunohistochemical staining. Correspondingly, hypomethylation of CpG island on Zac1 promoter was observed in samples with high Zac1 expression in cervical carcinoma. Finally, overexpression of Zac1 in a variety of cervical cancer cell lines increase their mesenchymal biomarker expression and migration, strengthening the correlation between cervical cancers with high Zac1 expression and metastasis in clinical. In summary, this research firstly revealed that identifying Zac1 expression or the methylation status of CpG site on Zac1 promoter may provide us with novel indicators for the evaluation of cervical cancer metastasis.

    Abstract The integral membrane, Kunitz-type, serine protease inhibitors, HAI-1 and HAI-2, closely resemble one another structurally and with regard to their specificity and potency against proteases. Structural complementarity between the Kunitz domains and serine protease domains renders the membrane-associated serine proteases, matriptase and prostasin, the primary target proteases of the HAIs. The shared biochemical enzyme-inhibitor relationships are, however, at odds with their behavior at the cellular level, where HAI-1 appears to be the default inhibitor of these proteases and HAI-2 a cell-type-selective inhibitor, even though they are widely co-expressed. The limited motility of these proteins caused by their membrane anchorages may require their co-localization within a certain distance to allow the establishment of a cellular level functional relationship between the proteases and the inhibitors. The differences in their subcellular localization with HAI-1 both inside the cell and on the cell surface, compared to HAI-2 predominately in intracellular granules has, therefore, been implicated in the differential manner of their control of matriptase and prostasin proteolysis. The targeting signals present in the intracellular domains of the HAIs are systematically investigated herein. Studies involving domain swap and point mutation, in combination with immunocytochemistry and cell surface biotinylation/avidin depletion, reveal that the different subcellular localization between the HAIs can largely be attributed to differences in the intracellular Arg/Lys-rich and EHLVY motifs. These intrinsic differences in the targeting signal render the HAIs as two independent rather than redundant proteolysis regulators.
