Article Abstract
To extend the search for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated antigens with immunogenicity for clinical applications, we constructed a cDNA expression library using resected human HCC tissue sample and screened it by serological analysis of recombinant cDNA expression library (SEREX) with autologous and allogeneic sera. A total of 24 distinct antigens were isolated and kinectin was the antigen most frequently identified. We found that kinectin was alternatively spliced at four sites and obtained all eight theoretical forms of variant, six by SEREX and two by RT-PCR, from the different splicing combinations of the last three sites. In addition, the splicing patterns of four sites were analyzed. Variant containing D2 was overexpressed in cancerous tissues and this alteration may be tumor associated. The four splicing sites, the variants generated by alternative splicing, and the humoral immune response in HCC patients, may help to analyze the role of kinectin in human HCC cell biology.

The ER relies on the microtubule cytoskeleton for the organization of its extended membrane network, but how microtubule-based motors contribute remains unclear. Using biochemical and cell-based assays, we identify cerebellar degeneration-related protein 2 (CDR2) and its paralog CDR2-like (CDR2L), onconeural antigens with poorly understood functions, as ER adaptors for cytoplasmic dynein-1 (dynein). We demonstrate in human cancer cells that CDR2 is recruited by the integral ER membrane protein kinectin (KTN1) and that double knockout of CDR2 and CDR2L enhances KTN1-dependent ER sheet stacking, reversal of which by exogenous CDR2 requires its dynein-binding CC1 box motif.

Background: The unfolded protein response (UPR) is one of the cytoprotective mechanisms against various stresses and essential for the normal function of skin. Skin injury caused by ionizing radiation (IR) is a common side effect of radiotherapy and it is unclear how UPR affects IR-induced skin injury.
Objectives: To verify the effect of UPR on IR-induced DNA damage in keratinocytes and the relation between an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein KTN1 and UPR.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic disease of unknown pathogenic origin. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress refers to the process by which cells take measures to ER function when the morphology and function of the reticulum are changed. Recent studies have demonstrated that the ER was involved in the evolution and progression of IPF.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder caused by both genetic and environmental factors. An association has been described between KTN1 genetic variants and changes in its expression in the putamen and substantia nigra brain regions and an increased risk for PD. Here, we examine the link between PD susceptibility and KTN1 using individual-level genotyping data and summary statistics from the most recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for PD risk and age at onset from the International Parkinson's Disease Genomics Consortium (IPDGC), as well as whole-genome sequencing data from the Accelerating Medicines Partnership Parkinson's disease (AMP-PD) initiative.
