Multi-omics and spatial transcriptomics reveal that S100A10 drives CD8+ T-cell exhaustion and immune evasion in hepatocellular carcinoma through cPLA2-5-LOX-mediated arachidonic acid metabolism and ferroptosis.

Immune evasion in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a major biological barrier limiting the efficacy of immunotherapy, yet its molecular basis remains incompletely understood. Increasing evidence indicates that tumor metabolic reprogramming and ferroptosis-related signaling play critical roles in shaping an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME); however, the specific regulatory factors involved remain unclear. This study aims to systematically elucidate the functional role of S100 calcium-binding protein A10 (S100A10) in immune evasion in HCC, with a particular focus on the molecular mechanisms by which S100A10 regulates CD8+ T-cell exhaustion through arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism and ferroptosis, as well as its potential therapeutic implications. To this end, data from The Cancer Genome Atlas Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma (TCGA-LIHC) cohort are integrated to analyze the expression patterns of S100A10, its prognostic value, and its association with the immune microenvironment. S100A10 overexpression and knockout models are established in HCCLM3 and MHCC97L cell lines, and S100A10-mediated metabolic pathway reprogramming is characterized using transcriptomic profiling, untargeted metabolomics, and ferroptosis-related functional assays. In parallel, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics are employed to delineate the cell-type specificity and spatial distribution of S100A10. Furthermore, human CD8+ T-cell co-culture systems and orthotopic mouse HCC models are used to evaluate the impact of S100A10 on immune function and responsiveness to anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1) therapy. The results demonstrate that S100A10 is significantly upregulated in HCC and is closely associated with poor prognosis and an immunosuppressive state. Mechanistically, S100A10 activates cytosolic phospholipase A2-arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (cPLA2-5-LOX)-mediated AA oxidative metabolism, leading to the accumulation of lipid peroxidation products and ferroptosis-associated signals, thereby driving CD8+ T-cell exhaustion and promoting immune evasion. Significantly, inhibition of S100A10 reshapes the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and enhances the therapeutic efficacy of anti-PD-1 treatment. Collectively, these findings identify S100A10 as a critical regulator of metabolic-immune coupling in HCC and provide a theoretical basis for combinatorial strategies targeting metabolism and immunotherapy.

Hydrophobicity at the surface of proteins.

A new method is presented to quantitatively estimate and graphically display the propensity of nonpolar groups to bind at the surface of proteins. It is based on the calculation of the binding energy, i.e., van der Waals interaction plus protein electrostatic desolvation, of a nonpolar probe sphere rolled over the protein surface, and on the color coding of this quantity on a smooth molecular surface (hydrophobicity map). The method is validated on ten protein-ligand complexes and is shown to distinguish precisely where polar and nonpolar groups preferentially bind. Comparisons with existing approaches, like the display of the electrostatic potential or the curvature, illustrate the advantages and the better predictive power of the present method. Hydrophobicity maps will play an important role in the characterization of binding sites for the large number of proteins emerging from the genome projects and structure modeling approaches.

Protein-protein recognition via short amphiphilic helices; a mutational analysis of the binding site of annexin II for p11.

Annexin II (p36) interacts with its ligand p11 via the short stretch of 12 amino acids (Ac-S-T-V-H-E-I-L-C-K-L-S-L) situated at the N-terminus. We have now synthesized some 37 tetradecapeptides, which differ from the original p11 binding sequence (Ac1-14) by single amino acid substitutions. The relative affinity of each peptide for p11 was determined by fluorescence spectroscopy using a competitive binding assay. The binding behaviour of the different peptides confirms the model of an amphiphilic alpha-helix induced upon binding to p11. The apparent affinities delta delta Gbind of the mutant peptides revealed that the N-acetyl group of serine 1 and the hydrophobic side chains at positions 3, 6, 7 and 10 contribute most to the binding. The observed destabilization of the complex upon removal of signal methyl groups from the hydrophobic side of the helix is comparable with the destabilization of proteins in which methyl groups have been removed from the inner core. We conclude that upon binding to p11 the hydrophobic side of the amphiphatic alpha-helix becomes fully buried.

Expression of a releasable form of annexin II by human keratinocytes.

Annexin II is a multifunctional calcium-dependent phospholipid binding protein whose presence in epidermis has previously been reported. However, like other members of annexin family, annexin II has been regarded as either an intracellular protein or associated with the cellular membrane. Here, we report the presence of a releasable annexin II and p11, two monomers of annexin II tetramer, in keratinocyte-conditioned medium (KCM). Proteins present in KCM were fractionated on a gel filtration column and following further evaluation, a releasable protein with apparent MW of 36 kDa was identified. Further characterization identified this protein as the p36 monomer of annexin II tetramer. The phospho-tyrosine antibody did not visualize this protein as the phosphorylated form of p36. Several experiments were conducted to examine whether this protein is soluble or associated with keratinocyte cell membranes in the conditioned medium. A centrifugation of conditioned medium was not able to bring this protein down into the pellet. Surprisingly, the results of Western analysis identified p36 and p11, two monomers of the annexin II tetramer, in conditioned medium derived from either keratinocytes cultured alone or keratinocytes co-cultured with fibroblasts. In contrast to the keratinocyte-conditioned medium in which annexin II was easily detectable, both monomers were barely detectable in conditioned medium collected from dermal fibroblasts. This finding was in contrast to the cell lysates in which p36 was detectable in both keratinocytes and fibroblasts. However, the amount of this protein was markedly higher in keratinocyte lysate relative to that of dermal fibroblasts. Conditioned medium derived from keratinocyte established from adult showed a higher level of annexin II compared to that of keratinocytes established from newborn babies. The expression of p11 seems to increase with differentiation of keratinocytes derived from either adult or newborn skin samples. When the site of annexin synthesis in human skin was examined by immunohistochemical staining, the antibody for p36 localized the annexin to the keratinocyte cell members in the basal and suprabasal keratinocytes. In conclusion, Western blot detection of both p36 and p11 in conditioned medium from skin cells revealed that human keratinocytes, but not fibroblasts, express a releasable monomer form of annexin II which is regulated by differentiation status of keratinocytes. This finding is consistent with the localization of annexin II detected by immunohistochemical staining.

Identification and predominant expression of annexin A2 in epithelial-type cells of the rice field eel.

Annexin is the largest family of genes encoding eukaryotic calcium-binding proteins that do not contain the EF hand motif. Annexin A2 has a common annexin core domain, consisting of four so-called annexin repeats, and each of these repeats has about 70 amino acids in length. Here we report identification of annexin A2 from rice field eel by degenerate PCR and RACE techniques. Three-dimensional structure prediction shows that it has similar annexin repeat architecture. Phylogenetic analysis shows that this gene fits with the annexin A2 clade of vertebrates. Subcellular co-localization and co-immunoprecipitation indicated annexin A2 interacted with its ligand S100A10, confirming characteristics of the rice field eel annexin A2. RT-PCR and Western blot results indicate annexin A2 expressed ubiquitously in adult tissues. Immunofluorescence analysis shows obvious immunoreactivity in the nuclear membrane of developing oocytes and base membrane of mature oocytes in ovary and ovotestis. After the gonad differentiates into testis, annexin A2 protein expressed in the site of seminal vesicles epithelium in testis. The results provided a clue to the potential role of annexin A2 in the gonadal differentiation from ovary, via ovotestis to testis of the rice field eel.

S100-annexin complexes: some insights from structural studies.

Several annexins have been shown to bind proteins that belong to the S100 calcium-binding protein family. The two best-characterized complexes are annexin II with p11 and annexin I with S100C, the former of which has been implicated in membrane fusion processes. We have solved the crystal structures of the complexes of p11 with annexin II N-terminus and of S100C with annexin I N-terminus. Using these structural results, as well as electron microscopy observations of liposome junctions formed in the presence of such complexes (Lambert et al., 1997 J Mol Biol 272, 42-55), we propose a computer generated model for the entire annexin II/p11 complex.

TRPV5 and TRPV6 in Ca(2+) (re)absorption: regulating Ca(2+) entry at the gate.

Many physiological functions rely on the exact maintenance of body Ca(2+) balance. Therefore, the extracellular Ca(2+) concentration is tightly regulated by the concerted actions of intestinal Ca(2+) absorption, exchange of Ca(2+) to and from bone, and renal Ca(2+) reabsorption. Renal distal convoluted and connecting tubular cells as well as duodenal epithelial cells are unique in their ability to mediate transcellular (re)absorption of Ca(2+) at large and highly variable rates. Two members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily, TRP vanilloid (TRPV)5 and TRPV6, are specialized epithelial Ca(2+) channels responsible for the critical Ca(2+) entry step in transcellular Ca(2+) (re)absorption in intestine and kidney, respectively. Because transcellular Ca(2+) transport is fine-tuned to the body's specific requirements, regulation of the transmembrane Ca(2+) flux through TRPV5/6 is of particular importance and has, therefore, to be conspicuously controlled. We present an overview of the current knowledge and recent advances concerning the coordinated regulation of Ca(2+) influx through the epithelial Ca(2+) channels TRPV5 and TRPV6 in transcellular Ca(2+) (re)absorption.

Increases in p11 and annexin II proteins correlate with differentiation in the PC12 pheochromocytoma.

Regulation of p11 and annexin II by nerve growth factor, staurosporine, and epidermal growth factor was examined in PC12 rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cells using immunoblot analysis. Nerve growth factor, which is known to induce neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells, stimulated a five-fold increase in p11 and the higher levels of p11 were characteristic of PC12 cells exposed to nerve growth factor for up to ten days. Nerve growth factor induced an even greater increase (13.6-fold) in annexin II. Staurosporine, a protein kinase inhibitor that at high concentrations induces neurite formation, was as effective as nerve growth factor in increasing the intracellular levels of p11 and annexin II. Epidermal growth factor was less effective than nerve growth factor and staurosporine, producing only a two-fold increase in p11 and a three-fold increase in annexin II. The ineffectiveness of epidermal growth factor in increasing intracellular levels of p11 and annexin II is consistent with the fact that epidermal growth factor does not stimulate neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. Evidence presented here suggests that p11 and/or annexin II may play a role in PC12 cell differentiation.

Binding sites for calcium, lipid and p11 on p36, the substrate of retroviral tyrosine-specific protein kinases.

Biochemical and partial sequence data reveal the two-domain structure of p36. A loose structure of some 30 residues at the amino-terminus contains the phosphorylatable tyrosine and the binding site for the p11 regulatory chain. The following p33 domain retains the lipid-binding site as well as the Ca2+ site which influences the spectral properties of the single tryptophan and one tyrosine. The combined sequence data covering about 25% of the molecule identify p36 as a unique polypeptide.

S-100 protein binds to annexin II and p11, the heavy and light chains of calpactin I.

S-100 protein, a dimeric, Ca(2+)-binding protein of the EF-hand type, interacts with annexin II (p36, the heavy chain of the cytoskeletal protein complex, calpactin I), with p11 (the light and regulatory chain of calpactin I) and with the hetero-tetramer annexin II2-p11(2) (calpactin I) in a Ca(2+)-regulated way, but not with annexins I, V and VI. The interaction of S-100 protein with the above proteins was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy using acrylodan-S-100 protein and acrylodan-annexin II and by cross-linking experiments using the bifunctional cross-linker disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS). S-100 protein binds with the highest affinity to annexin II (Kd approx. 0.4 microM) and with the lowest affinity to calpactin I (Kd approx. 10 microM), with a constant stoichiometry of about 2 mol of protein/S-100 dimer. Thus, S-100 protein could substitute for p11 in regulating the activities of annexin II in cells which do not express p11 and/or act synergistically with p11 in cells expressing both p11 and S-100. The binding of S-100 protein to p11 could reflect the natural tendency of S-100 subunits and p11 to dimerize. Chimeric p11-S-100 alpha and p11-S-100-beta proteins could therefore form in a Ca(2+)-regulated way. The interaction of S-100 protein with calpactin I appears of doubtful physiological importance, because of the low binding affinity, of the small extent of fluorescence changes induced by calpactin I in acrylodan-S-100 protein and of lack of DSS-induced complex formation between the two protein species.

Characterization of type III intermediate filament regulatory protein target epitopes: S-100 (beta and/or alpha) binds the N-terminal head domain; annexin II2-p11(2) binds the rod domain.

We have investigated the interaction of S-100 proteins (beta and/or alpha) and annexin II2-p11(2) with glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and desmin to have further information on the mechanisms whereby S-100 proteins and annexin II2-p11(2) affect assembly/disassembly of GFAP and desmin intermediate filaments (IFs). Analyses were conducted on either native IF subunits, GFAP or desmin rod domain, or headless GFAP or desmin. Our data indicate that: (i) S-100 proteins bind to GFAP and desmin N-terminal head domain; (ii) annexin II2-p11(2) binds to GFAP rod domain; (iii) annexin II2-p11(2) does not interact with desmin nor affects desmin assembly. The present data suggest that the ability of S-100 proteins to inhibit GFAP and desmin assemblies and to promote the disassembly of preformed GFAP and desmin IFs depends on occupation of a site on the N-terminal head domain of these IF subunit. It is known that the N-terminal head domain is critical for the progression from the stage of GFAP and desmin dimers/tetramers to that of large oligomers. On the other hand, the ability of annexin II2-p11(2) to stimulate GFAP assembly under conditions where this latter is normally hampered (e.g., at alkaline pH values) might depend on annexin II2-p11(2)-induced changes in the structure of GFAP rod domain, possibly as a consequence of charge modifications. By contrast, the inability of annexin II2-p11(2) to bind to desmin would depend on desmin resistance to charge modifications.

Mapping of a regulatory important site for protein kinase C phosphorylation in the N-terminal domain of annexin II.

Annexin II is a Ca(2+)-regulated membrane- and cytoskeleton-binding protein implicated in membrane transport events along the Ca(2+)-regulated secretory and the early endocytic pathway. Biochemical properties of this annexin and its intracellular distribution are regulated by complex formation with p11 (S100A10), a member of the S100 protein family. The annexin II-p11 interaction is mediated through the unique N-terminal domain of annexin II and is inhibited by protein kinase C phosphorylation of a serine residue in annexin II. To map this regulatory serine phosphorylation site we developed a baculovirus-mediated expression system for wild-type annexin II and for a series of annexin II mutants which contained substitutions in one or more serine residues present in the N-terminal domain. The different mutant derivatives were purified and shown to display the same biochemical properties as recombinant wild-type annexin II and the authentic protein purified from porcine intestine. However, significant differences in phosphate incorporation were observed when the individual serine mutants were subjected to phosphorylation by protein kinase C. A comparison of the phosphorylation patterns obtained identified Ser-II as the protein kinase C site responsible for regulating the annexin II-p11 interaction. Ser-II lies within the sequence mediating p11 binding, i.e. amino-acid residues 1 to 14 of annexin II, and phosphorylation at this site most likely leads to a direct spatial interference with p11 binding.

Primary structure of human, chicken, and Xenopus laevis p11, a cellular ligand of the Src-kinase substrate, annexin II.

The p11 protein is a member of the S-100 family of Ca(2+)-binding proteins and serves within the cell as a ligand of the tyrosine kinase substrate, annexin II. To obtain more structural information on this molecule, we have isolated and characterized p11 cDNA clones from several different species. A comparison of the deduced amino acid (aa) sequences reveals that mammalian and avian p11 are highly similar (at least 90% identical at the aa level), whereas p11 from Xenopus laevis shows a considerable degree of sequence variation (the aa sequence identity drops to approx. 60% when compared to mammalian or chicken p11). Interestingly, the C-terminal 18 aa, which are unique to p11 within the S-100 family, show a relatively high conservation among species. This high evolutionary conservation is in line with a structurally and/or functionally important role of this C terminus, e.g., in annexin II binding.

p11 (S100A10)--an inducible adaptor protein that modulates neuronal functions.

p11 (S100A10) is a member of the S100 protein family and forms a heterotetrameric complex with annexin 2. p11 has also been found to interact with a diverse set of proteins that includes several ion channels and the serotonin 5-HT1B receptor. Several factors such as dexamethasone, growth factors, nitric oxide and antidepressant therapies regulate the expression of p11. Furthermore, studies using mutant mouse models, RNA interference and antisense constructs have implicated p11 in several biological processes; in particular, there is evidence that p11 is involved in the pathophysiology underlying nociception and depression-like states.

Analysis of human Nav1.8 expressed in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells.

The tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channel alpha-subunit Nav1.8 is expressed in nociceptors and has been implicated in chronic pain. Difficulties of heterologous expression have so far precluded analysis of the pharmacological properties of human Nav1.8. To address this we have introduced human Nav1.8 in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Voltage-clamp analysis showed that human Nav1.8 generated an inward tetrodotoxin-resistant sodium current with an activating threshold around -50 mV, half maximal activation at -11+/-3 mV and a reversal potential of 67+/-4 mV. These properties closely match those of the endogenous rat tetrodotoxin-resistant sodium current in dorsal root ganglia suggesting that the expressed human channel is in a near physiological conformation. Human Nav1.8 was resistant to tetrodotoxin and activated by the pyrethroid toxin deltamethrin. Both voltage-activated and deltamethrin-activated human Nav1.8 were inhibited by the sodium channel blockers BIII 890 CL, NW-1029, and mexiletine. Inhibition of Nav1.8 by these compounds may underlie their known analgesic effects in animal models.

The P11, tPA/plasminogen system and brain-derived neurotrophic factor: Implications for the pathogenesis of major depression and the therapeutic mechanism of antidepressants.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common disabling psychiatric illness with an unknown etiology. Evidence from animal and human studies suggests that a disturbance in serotonergic (5-HT) activity and/or brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling may be implicated in the pathogenesis of MDD. Recently, a protein, p11, has been found to increase the number of 5-HT(1B) receptors on the surface of cells and enhance 5-HT(1B) receptor function. Furthermore, mice over-expressing p11 acted as if they were undergoing treatment with antidepressants and p11 knockout mice exhibit a depression-like phenotype and reduced behavioural reactions to an antidepressant. As tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA)/plasminogen proteolytic cascade is implicated in the cleavage of proBDNF to BDNF, and p11, a component of the Annexin II, which can greatly enhance the activation of plasmin by tPA, it is proposed that p11 may act through the tPA/plasminogen/BDNF pathway to achieve its antidepressant effect. Attempts to confirm this hypothesis may lead to new directions in the study of the pathogenesis of MDD and the development of a novel intervention for this disorder. In addition, BDNF is also implicated in several psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and Alzheimer's disease; whether p11 and other components related to the tPA/plasminogen pathway may be related to the pathogenesis of these diseases needs further exploration.

Fezl is required for the birth and specification of corticospinal motor neurons.

The molecular mechanisms controlling the differentiation of neural progenitors into distinct subtypes of neurons during neocortical development are unknown. Here, we report that Fezl is required for the specification of corticospinal motor neurons and other subcerebral projection neurons, which are absent from Fezl null mutant neocortex. There is neither an increase in cell death in Fezl(-/-) cortex nor abnormalities in migration, indicating that the absence of subcerebral projection neurons is due to a failure in fate specification. In striking contrast, other neuronal populations in the same and other cortical layers are born normally. Overexpression of Fezl results in excess production of subcerebral projection neurons and arrested migration of these neurons in the germinal zone. These data indicate that Fezl plays a central role in the specification of corticospinal motor neurons and other subcerebral projection neurons, controlling early decisions regarding lineage-specific differentiation from neural progenitors.
