Associations of urinary polymeric immunoglobulin receptor peptides in the context of cardio-renal syndrome.

ABSTRACT: The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) transports immunoglobulins from the basolateral to the apical surface of epithelial cells. PIgR was recently shown to be associated with kidney dysfunction. The immune defense is initiated at the apical surface of epithelial cells where the N-terminal domain of pIgR, termed secretory component (SC), is proteolytically cleaved and released either unbound (free SC) or bound to immunoglobulins. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association of pIgR peptides with the cardio-renal syndrome in a large cohort and to obtain information on how the SC is released. We investigated urinary peptides of 2964 individuals available in the Human Urine Proteome Database generated using capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry. The mean amplitude of 23 different pIgR peptides correlated negatively with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, rho?=?-0.309, p?

Project description:Viral entry into the host cell is the first step towards successful infection. Viral entry starts with virion attachment, and binding to receptors. Receptor binding viruses either directly release their genome into the cell, or enter cells through endocytosis. For DNA viruses and a few RNA viruses, the endocytosed viruses will transport from cytoplasm into the nucleus followed by gene expression. Receptors on the cell membrane play a crucial role in viral infection. Although several attachment factors, or candidate receptors, for the infection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) were identified in shrimp, the authentic entry receptors for WSSV infection and the intracellular signaling triggering by interaction of WSSV with receptors remain unclear. In the present study, a receptor for WSSV infection in kuruma shrimp, Marsupenaeus japonicus, was identified. It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) with a transmembrane region, and is similar to the vertebrate polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR); therefore, it was designated as a pIgR-like protein (MjpIgR for short). MjpIgR was detected in all tissues tested, and its expression was significantly induced by WSSV infection at the mRNA and protein levels. Knockdown of MjpIgR, and blocking MjpIgR with its antibody inhibited WSSV infection in shrimp and overexpression of MjpIgR facilitated the invasion of WSSV. Further analyses indicated that MjpIgR could independently render non-permissive cells susceptible to WSSV infection. The extracellular domain of MjpIgR interacts with envelope protein VP24 of WSSV and the intracellular domain interacts with calmodulin (MjCaM). MjpIgR was oligomerized and internalized following WSSV infection and the internalization was associated with endocytosis of WSSV. The viral internalization facilitating ability of MjpIgR could be blocked using chlorpromazine, an inhibitor of clathrin dependent endocytosis. Knockdown of Mjclathrin and its adaptor protein AP-2 also inhibited WSSV internalization. All the results indicated that MjpIgR-mediated WSSV endocytosis was clathrin dependent. The results suggested that MjpIgR is a WSSV receptor, and that WSSV enters shrimp cells via the pIgR-CaM-Clathrin endocytosis pathway.

Project description:BACKGROUND:High expression of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (PIGR) has previously been associated with a favourable prognosis in a few cancer forms, but its expression and relationship with clinical outcome in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has not yet been reported. The aim of this study was therefore to examine the clinicopathological correlates and prognostic significance of PIGR expression in EOC. METHODS:After an initial screening in the Human Protein Atlas portal, a validated antibody was selected for extended analysis of immunohistochemical PIGR expression in tissue microarrays with tumours from 154 incident cases of EOC from two pooled prospective population-based cohorts. Subsets of corresponding benign-appearing fallopian tubes (n?=?38) and omental metastases (n?=?33) were also analysed. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis were applied to examine the impact of PIGR expression on overall survival (OS) and ovarian cancer-specific survival (OCSS). RESULTS:PIGR expression was significantly higher in fallopian tubes compared to primary tumours and metastases (p?<?0.001) and lower in carcinoma of the serous subtype compared to other carcinomas (p?<?0.001). PIGR expression was significantly associated with lower grade (p?=?0.001), mucinous histological subtype (p?=?0.002), positive progesterone receptor expression (p?=?0.009) and negative or low Ki-67 expression (p?=?0.003). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a significantly improved OS (p?=?0.013) and OCSS (p?=?0.009) for patients with tumours displaying high expression of PIGR. These associations were confirmed in unadjusted Cox regression analysis (HR?=?0.48; 95% CI 0.26-0.87; p?=?0.015 for OS and HR?=?0.43, 95% CI 0.22-0.82; p?=?0.011 for OCSS) but did not remain significant after adjustment for age, grade and clinical stage. CONCLUSIONS:This study provides a first demonstration of PIGR expression in human fallopian tubes, primary EOC tumours and metastases. High tumour-specific expression of PIGR was found to be associated with a favourable prognosis in unadjusted, but not in adjusted, analysis. These findings are novel and merit further investigation.
