Article Abstract
Organelle transport requires dynamic cytoskeleton remodeling, but whether cytoskeletal dynamics are, in turn, regulated by organelles remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that late endosomes, a type of prelysosomal organelles, facilitate actin-cytoskeleton remodeling via cytosolic translocation of immature protease cathepsin D (cathD) during microglia migration. After cytosolic translocation, late endosome-derived cathD juxtaposes actin filaments at the leading edge of lamellipodia. Suppressing cathD expression or blocking its cytosolic translocation impairs the maintenance but not the initiation of lamellipodial extension. Moreover, immature cathD balances the activity of the actin-severing protein cofilin to maintain globular-actin (G-actin) monomer pool for local actin recycling. Our study identifies cathD as a key lysosomal molecule that unconventionally contributes to actin cytoskeleton remodeling via cytosolic translocation during adenosine triphosphate-evoked microglia migration.

Neuroinflammation and neuronal death are direct consequences of persistent microglial activation observed in many chronic neurological conditions. Activated microglia impact neuronal cells by releasing proinflammatory cytokines and inflammatory mediators, leading to neuronal damage and neurodegeneration. To investigate whether Polyinosinic polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), a synthetic double-stranded RNA molecule, induces neuroinflammation and neuronal death, we exposed microglia (HMC-3 cells) to poly I: C for 24 hrs, and assessed inflammatory cytokines.

The Ste20 family kinase Hippo/MST activates the NDR family kinase Warts/LATS to inhibit the transcriptional coactivator Yorkie/YAP/TAZ and its transcription factor partner Scalloped/TEAD. In , cell lineages and organ sizes are largely invariant, and classical Hippo phenotypes such as tissue overgrowth are absent.

S100 calcium-binding protein A16 (S100A16), the most recently identified member of the S100 calcium-binding protein family, has been implicated in various cancers. However, its specific role in cervical cancer remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that silencing the S100A16 gene inhibits the migratory ability of HeLa and SiHa cells without affecting their viability.

Alpha-Synuclein (αSyn), a hallmark protein of synucleinopathies such as Parkinson's disease, is likely to be involved in neuronal membrane trafficking and synaptic vesicle dynamics at axon terminals. Its specific binding to anionic phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) that are essential for intracellular signaling and membrane trafficking, suggests an involvement in vesicular transport processes. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a model organism for cell biological PD research, human αSyn localises to the plasma membrane via the secretory machinery.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a life-threatening condition with high morbidity and mortality, characterized by inflammation linked to organelle stress. Despite its clinical significance, effective therapies remain limited. While organelle dysfunction is recognized as a driver of inflammation in AKI, the role of inter-organelle communication in this process remains poorly understood.
