In vivo regulation of the monocyte phenotype by Mycobacterium marinum and the ESX-1 type VII secretion system by Kristina Munke, Line Wulff, Julia Lienard, Fredric Carlsson, William W. Agace

“…Abstract Pathogenic mycobacteria require the conserved ESX-1 type VII secretion system to cause disease. In a murine Mycobacterium marinum infection model we previously demonstrated that infiltrating monocytes and neutrophils represent the major bacteria-harbouring cell populations in infected tissue. …”

Lawsonia intracellularis T3SS effector LI0758, an Rce1 ortholog, activates MAPK and NF-κB signaling in mammalian cells by Yuanxiu Zhong, Yiyun Duan, Fenju Lai, Jinhua Zhang, Yimin Dai

“…In this study, we identify that LI0758 can be secreted by the Yersinia T3SS, which suppresses yeast growth and activates mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway in mammalian cells. …”

GP73-mediated secretion of PKM2 and GP73 promotes angiogenesis and M2-like macrophage polarization in hepatocellular carcinoma by Shujie Wang, Tongjia Zhang, Yue Zhou, Zitao Jiao, Kejia Lu, Xinyi Liu, Wei Jiang, Zhe Yang, Hui Li, Xiaowei Zhang

“…This process continuously promoted the transfer of PKM2 from the cytoplasm to the membrane in HCC cells, and finally secretion. Extracellular PKM2 and GP73 synergistically promoted angiogenesis and polarization of M2-type macrophages, thereby leading to malignant progression and sorafenib resistance in HCC. …”

Microplastic exposure induces HSP90α secretion and aggravates asthmatic airway remodeling via PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway by Mingming Xu, Jiyuan Chen, Lin Gao, Shaoxi Cai, Hangming Dong

“…Initially, we found that microplastics were destroyed airway epithelial barrier, resulting in inherent dysfunction in the secretion of HSP90α. Then, microplastics were proved to activate PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway by prompting airway epithelial cells secrete HSP90α and proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells(ASMCs), leading to airway narrowing and hypersensitivity. 1G6-D7 is a monoclonal antibody to HSP90, which can reverse the pulmonary inflammation infiltration, mucus production, and airway hyperresponsiveness(AHR). …”

Analysis of a mouse germ cell tumor model establishes pluripotency-associated miRNAs as conserved serum biomarkers for germ cell cancer detection by Amanda R. Loehr, Dennis M. Timmerman, Michelle Liu, Ad J. M. Gillis, Melia Matthews, Jordana C. Bloom, Peter K. Nicholls, David C. Page, Andrew D. Miller, Leendert H. J. Looijenga, Robert S. Weiss

“…Here, we report that miRNAs in the mouse miR-290-295 cluster, homologs of the human miR-371-373 cluster, were detectable in serum from mice with malignant TGCTs but not from tumor-free control mice or mice with benign teratomas. miR-291-293 were expressed and secreted specifically by pluripotent EC cells, and expression was lost following differentiation induced by the drug thioridazine. …”
