A role for annexin A2 in scaffolding the peroxiredoxin 2-STAT3 redox relay complex.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is recognized to act as a signaling molecule. Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) have the ability to transfer H2O2-derived oxidizing equivalents to redox-regulated target proteins, thus facilitating the transmission of H2O2 signals. It has remained unclear how Prxs and their target proteins are brought together to allow for target-specific protein thiol oxidation. Addressing the specific case of Prx2-dependent STAT3 oxidation, we here show that the association of the two proteins occurs prior to Prx oxidation and depends on a scaffolding protein, the membrane chaperone annexin A2. Deletion or depletion of annexin A2 interrupts the transfer of oxidizing equivalents from Prx2 to STAT3, which is observed to take place on membranes. These findings support the notion that the Prx2-STAT3 redox relay is part of a highly organized membrane signaling domain.

Role of annexin A2 in muscle repair

Project description:Repair of injured muscle involves repair of injured myofibers through the involvement of dysferlin and its interacting partners, including annexin. Studies with mice and patients have established that dysferlin deficit leads to chronic inflammation and adipogenic replacement of the diseased muscle. However, longitudinal analysis of annexin deficit on muscle pathology and function is lacking. Here we show that unlike annexin A1, but similar to dysferlin, lack of annexin A2 (AnxA2) causes poor myofiber repair and progressive weakening with age. However, unlike dysferlin-deficient muscle, AnxA2-deficient muscles do not exhibit chronic inflammation or adipogenic replacement. Deletion of AnxA2 in dysferlin deficient mice reduces inflammation, adipogenic replacement, and loss in muscle function caused by dysferlin deficit. These results show that: a) AnxA2 facilitates myofiber repair, b) chronic inflammation and adipogenic replacement of dysferlinopathic muscle requires AnxA2, and c) inhibiting AnxA2-mediated inflammation is a novel therapeutic avenue for dysferlinopathy.

(20S) Ginsenoside Rh2 Inhibits STAT3/VEGF Signaling by Targeting Annexin A2.

Project description:Signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) acts as a transcriptional signal transducer, converting cytokine stimulation into specific gene expression. In tumor cells, aberrant activation of the tyrosine kinase pathway leads to excessive and continuous activation of STAT3, which provides further signals for tumor cell growth and surrounding angiogenesis. In this process, the tumor-associated protein Annexin A2 interacts with STAT3 and promotes Tyr705 phosphorylation and STAT3 transcriptional activation. In this study, we found that (20S) ginsenoside Rh2 (G-Rh2), a natural compound inhibitor of Annexin A2, inhibited STAT3 activity in HepG2 cells. (20S) G-Rh2 interfered with the interaction between Annexin A2 and STAT3, and inhibited Tyr705 phosphorylation and subsequent transcriptional activity. The inhibitory activity of STAT3 leaded to the negative regulation of the four VEGFs, which significantly reduced the enhanced growth and migration ability of HUVECs in co-culture system. In addition, (20S)G-Rh2 failed to inhibit STAT3 activity in cells overexpressing (20S)G-Rh2 binding-deficient Annexin A2-K301A mutant, further proving Annexin A2-mediated inhibition of STAT3 by (20S)G-Rh2. These results indicate that (20S)G-Rh2 is a potent inhibitor of STAT3, predicting the potential activity of (20S)G-Rh2 in targeted therapy applications.

Genotoxic agents promote the nuclear accumulation of annexin A2: role of annexin A2 in mitigating DNA damage.

Project description:Annexin A2 is an abundant cellular protein that is mainly localized in the cytoplasm and plasma membrane, however a small population has been found in the nucleus, suggesting a nuclear function for the protein. Annexin A2 possesses a nuclear export sequence (NES) and inhibition of the NES is sufficient to cause nuclear accumulation. Here we show that annexin A2 accumulates in the nucleus in response to genotoxic agents including gamma-radiation, UV radiation, etoposide and chromium VI and that this event is mediated by the nuclear export sequence of annexin A2. Nuclear accumulation of annexin A2 is blocked by the antioxidant agent N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) and stimulated by hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), suggesting that this is a reactive oxygen species dependent event. In response to genotoxic agents, cells depleted of annexin A2 show enhanced phospho-histone H2AX and p53 levels, increased numbers of p53-binding protein 1 nuclear foci and increased levels of nuclear 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanine, suggesting that annexin A2 plays a role in protecting DNA from damage. This is the first report showing the nuclear translocation of annexin A2 in response to genotoxic agents and its role in mitigating DNA damage.

Annexin A2 is a novel cellular redox regulatory protein involved in tumorigenesis.

Project description:Annexins are a structurally related family of calcium and phospholipid-binding proteins that are involved in the regulation of a wide range of molecular and cellular processes. Annexin A2 is unique among the annexins in that it possesses redox sensitive cysteine(s). The ubiquitous and abundant expression of ANXA2 in cells and its reactivity with hydrogen peroxide led us to hypothesize that this protein could play a role in cellular redox regulation. Here we show that ANXA2 protein levels are induced by hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, depletion of ANXA2 resulted in the elevation of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon oxidative stress, increased activation of the ROS-induced pro-apoptotic kinases, JNK, p38 and Akt and elevated sensitivity to ROS-mediated cellular damage/death. ANXA2-null mice showed significantly elevated protein oxidation in the liver and lung tissues compared to WT mice. ANXA2 depleted cancer cells showed enhanced cellular protein oxidation concomitant with decreased tumor growth compared to control cancer cells and both the protein oxidation and tumor growth deficit were reversed by the antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine, indicating that ANXA2 redox regulatory function plays a major role in tumorigenesis. Ex-vivo human cancer studies showed that up-regulation of the reduced form of ANXA2 is associated with protection of the tumor proteins from oxidation. In summary, our results indicate that ANXA2 redox regulatory function plays an important role protecting cells from oxidative stress, particularly during tumorigenesis.

Annexin A2-STAT3-Oncostatin M receptor axis drives phenotypic and mesenchymal changes in glioblastoma.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is characterized by extensive tumor cell invasion, angiogenesis, and proliferation. We previously established subclones of GBM cells with distinct invasive phenotypes and identified annexin A2 (ANXA2) as an activator of angiogenesis and perivascular invasion. Here, we further explored the role of ANXA2 in regulating phenotypic transition in GBM. We identified oncostatin M receptor (OSMR) as a key ANXA2 target gene in GBM utilizing microarray analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis of the Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project and The Cancer Genome Atlas datasets. Overexpression of ANXA2 in GBM cells increased the expression of OSMR and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and enhanced cell invasion, angiogenesis, proliferation, and mesenchymal transition. Silencing of OSMR reversed the ANXA2-induced phenotype, and STAT3 knockdown reduced OSMR protein expression. Exposure of GBM cells to hypoxic conditions activated the ANXA2-STAT3-OSMR signaling axis. Mice bearing ANXA2-overexpressing GBM exhibited shorter survival times compared with control tumor-bearing mice, whereas OSMR knockdown increased the survival time and diminished ANXA2-mediated tumor invasion, angiogenesis, and growth. Further, we uncovered a significant relationship between ANXA2 and OSMR expression in clinical GBM specimens, and demonstrated their correlation with tumor histopathology and patient prognosis. Our results indicate that the ANXA2-STAT3-OSMR axis regulates malignant phenotypic changes and mesenchymal transition in GBM, suggesting that this axis is a promising therapeutic target to treat GBM aggressiveness.

Role of the long non?coding RNA?Annexin A2 pseudogene 3/Annexin A2 signaling pathway in biliary atresia?associated hepatic injury.

Project description:Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common cause of chronic cholestasis in children. The long non?coding RNA (lncRNA) Annexin A2 pseudogene 3 (ANXA2P3) and Annexin A2 (ANXA2) have been suggested to serve pivotal roles in BA; however, the clinical significance and biological roles of ANXA2P3 and ANXA2 in BA remain to be elucidated. The present study aimed to elucidate the function of ANAX2P3 and ANXA2 in BA?induced liver injury using a human liver cell line and liver tissues from patients with BA. Reverse transcription?quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blotting and immunohistochemistry were conducted to determine the expression levels of ANXA2 and ANXA2P3 in liver tissues from patients with BA. Classification of fibrosis was analyzed by Masson staining. The functional roles of ANXA2 and ANXA2P3 in liver cells were determined by Cell Counting kit?8 assay, and flow cytometric and cell cycle analyses. Activation of the ANXA2/ANXA2P3 signaling pathway in liver cells was evaluated by western blot analysis. According to the present results, the expression levels of ANXA2 and ANXA2P3 were significantly increased in liver tissues from patients with BA. In addition, knocking down the expression of ANXA2P3 and ANXA2 may result in reduced liver cell proliferation, cell cycle arrest in G1 phase and increased apoptosis of liver cells in vitro. Furthermore, in cells in which ANXA2 and ANXA2P3 were overexpressed, cell apoptosis was reduced and cell cycle arrest in G2 phase. Taken together, these results indicated that ANXA2P3 and ANXA2 may have protective effects against liver injury progression and may be considered biomarkers in patients with BA.

Membrane Binding Promotes Annexin A2 Oligomerization.

Project description:Annexin A2 (AnxA2) is a cytosolic Ca2+ regulated membrane binding protein that can induce lipid domain formation and plays a role in exocytosis and endocytosis. To better understand the mode of annexin-membrane interaction, we analyzed membrane-bound AnxA2 assemblies by employing a novel 3-armed chemical crosslinker and specific AnxA2 mutant proteins. Our data show that AnxA2 forms crosslinkable oligomers upon binding to membranes containing negatively charged phospholipids. AnxA2 mutants with amino acid substitutions in residues predicted to be involved in lateral protein-protein interaction show compromised oligomer formation, albeit still being capable of binding to negatively charged membranes in the presence of Ca2+. These results suggest that lateral protein-protein interactions are involved in the formation of AnxA2 clusters on a biological membrane.

Role of annexin A2 in the production of infectious hepatitis C virus particles.

Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an important human pathogen affecting 170 million chronically infected individuals. In search for cellular proteins involved in HCV replication, we have developed a purification strategy for viral replication complexes and identified annexin A2 (ANXA2) as an associated host factor. ANXA2 colocalized with viral nonstructural proteins in cells harboring genotype 1 or 2 replicons as well as in infected cells. In contrast, we found no obvious colocalization of ANXA2 with replication sites of other positive-strand RNA viruses. The silencing of ANXA2 expression showed no effect on viral RNA replication but resulted in a significant reduction of extra- and intracellular virus titers. Therefore, it seems likely that ANXA2 plays a role in HCV assembly rather than in genome replication or virion release. Colocalization studies with individually expressed HCV nonstructural proteins indicated that NS5A specifically recruits ANXA2, probably by an indirect mechanism. By the deletion of individual NS5A subdomains, we identified domain III (DIII) as being responsible for ANXA2 recruitment. These data identify ANXA2 as a novel host factor contributing, with NS5A, to the formation of infectious HCV particles.

A novel role of annexin A2 in human type I collagen gene expression.

Project description:The fibrillar collagen scaffold of the extracellular matrix provides a structural framework for cells in tissues and regulates intercellular communication; its disregulation has been associated with tumour development and progression. Previous work has shown that expression of type I collagen, the most abundant mammalian extracellular matrix protein, is decreased in chemically or virally transformed cells. This negative regulation could be mapped to a proximal COL1A2 promoter element spanning a CME (Collagen Modulating Element) site in SV40-transformed human fibroblasts (SV-WI38) that binds an unknown repressing protein. By magnetic bead pull-down, we observed a multi-protein complex bound to the CME with preference for single-stranded over conventional double-stranded DNA. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry of the CME-binding protein complex revealed involvement of nuclear annexin A2 (AnxA2) which was increased in SV40-transformed cells. Further EMSA analysis demonstrated that AnxA2 did not directly bind to the DNA but stabilised the complex and led to an increase in protein binding to the CME in SV-WI38 but not untransformed WI38 cells. Knockdown of AnxA2 by siRNA increased type I collagen production in both WI38 and SV-WI38 cells; however, these effects were not mediated at the transcriptional level. Rather, our data indicate a novel functional role of AnxA2 in the negative post-transcriptional regulation of type I collagen synthesis in human fibroblasts. In SV40-transformed cells, AnxA2 is accumulated at the proximal COL1A2 promoter region, suggesting close association with the transcriptional machinery that possibly facilitates binding to the emerging mRNA, eventually contributing to overall repression of type I collagen protein synthesis.

Complex Roles of Annexin A2 in Host Blood-Brain Barrier Invasion by Cryptococcus neoformans.

Project description:IntroductionFungal transversal across the brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) is the essential step for the development of cryptococcal meningoencephalitis. Annexin A2 (AnxA2) is an important signaling protein involved in several intracellular processes such as membrane trafficking, endocytosis, and exocytosis.AimTo investigate the roles and mechanism of AnxA2 during cryptococcal transversal of BMECs.ResultsCryptococcus neoformans infection initiated upregulation of AnxA2 in mouse BMECs. Blockade with anti-AnxA2 antibody led to a reduction in fungal transcytosis activity but no change in its adhesion efficiency. Intriguingly, AnxA2 depletion caused a significant increase in fungal association activity but had no effect on their transcytosis. AnxA2 suppression resulted in marked reduction in its partner protein S100A10, and S100A10 suppression in BMECs significantly reduced the cryptococcal transcytosis efficiency. Furthermore, AnxA2 dephosphorylation at Tyr23 and dephosphorylation of downstream cofilin were required for cryptococcal transversal of BMECs, both of which might be primarily involved in the association of C. neoformans with host cells.ConclusionsOur work indicated that AnxA2 played complex roles in traversal of C. neoformans across host BMECs, which might be dependent on downstream cofilin to inhibit fungal adhesion but rely on its partner S100A10 to promote cryptococcal transcytosis.
