G-protein signaling pathways mediate communication across cell membranes. The first steps of this occur at the membrane, where upon receiving an external signal –the binding agonist ligand– membrane-embedded G-Protein Coupled Receptor adopts a conformation recognized by cytoplasmatic G protein. Whereas specialized GPCRs sense protons from extracellular milieu, thus acting as pH sensors in cells, accumulating evidence suggests that sensitivity might be common to distinct GPCRs. In perspective article we discuss general principles protonation-coupled protein conformational dynamics and how these apply To dissect molecular interactions govern GPCRs, use graph-based algorithms compute graphs hydrogen bond networks. We find internal H-bond networks contain sites structural rearrangements protonation change could transmitted throughout Proton bulk-exposed clusters titratable sidechains ensures sensing mechanism is robust.

Kidneys are central in the regulation of multiple physiological functions, such as removal metabolic wastes and toxins, maintenance electrolyte fluid balance, control pH homeostasis. In addition, kidneys participate systemic gluconeogenesis production or activation hormones. Acid-base conditions influence all these functions concomitantly. Healthy properly coordinate a series responses face acute chronic acid-base disorders. However, injured have reduced capacity to adapt challenges. Chronic kidney disease patients an example individuals typically exposed progressive acidosis. Their organisms undergo alterations that brake large detrimental changes homeostasis several parameters, but may also operate further drivers damage. disorders lead not only mechanisms involved balance maintenance, they affect other tightly wired it. this review article, we explore basic renal activities show how interconnected cell energy metabolism important intracellular activities. These intertwined relationships been investigated for more than century, modern conceptual organization events is lacking. We propose indissociably interacts with pathways drive progression disease, inflammation metabolism, independent etiology.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a lifelong inflammatory immune mediated disorder, encompassing Crohn's (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC); however, the cause specific pathogenesis of IBD yet incompletely understood. Multiple cytokines produced by different cell types results in complex functional networks that constitute highly regulated messaging network signaling pathways. Applying biological mechanisms underlying at single omic level, technologies genetic engineering enable quantification pattern released new insights into cytokine landscape IBD. We focus on existing literature dealing with biology pro- or anti-inflammatory interactions facilitate cell-based modulation system for inflammation. summarize main roles substantial related to homeostatic tissue functions remodeling IBD, which may be specifically valuable successful cytokine-targeted therapies via marketed products. Cytokines their receptors are validated targets multiple therapeutic areas, we review current strategies intervention developing therapies. New biologics have shown efficacy last few decades management IBD; unfortunately, many patients nonresponsive develop therapy resistance over time, creating need novel therapeutics. Thus, treatment options beyond immune-modifying anti-TNF agents combination expanding rapidly. Further studies needed fully understand response, cytokines, direct pathogenetic relevance regarding individually tailored, safe efficient targeted-biotherapeutics.

G protein-coupled receptor 4 (GPR4) belongs to the subfamily of proton-sensing GPCRs (psGPCRs), which detect pH changes in extracellular environment and regulate diverse physiological responses. GPR4 was found be overactivated acidic tumor microenvironment as well inflammation sites, with a triad residues within transmembrane domain identified crucial for proton sensing. However, 3D structure remains unknown, roles other conserved psGPCRs are not understood. Here we report cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures active zebrafish at both 6.5 8.5, each highlighting distribution histidine region. Cell-based assays show that these ionizable moderately influence capacity GPR4, compared more significant effects residues. Furthermore, reveal cluster aromatic orthosteric pocket may propagate signaling intercellular region via repacking patch central This study provides framework future functional investigation psGPCRs.

Local acidification is a common feature of many disease processes such as inflammation, infarction, or solid tumor growth. Acidic pH not merely sequela but contributes to recruitment and regulation immune cells, modifies metabolism parenchymal, modulates fibrosis, vascular permeability, oxygen availability, consumption, invasiveness impacts on cell survival. Thus, multiple pH-sensing mechanisms must exist in cells involved these processes. These sensors play important roles normal physiology pathophysiology, hence might be attractive targets for pharmacological interventions. Among the mechanisms, OGR1 ( GPR68), GPR4 GPR4), TDAG8 GPR65) have emerged molecules. G protein-coupled receptors are widely expressed, upregulated inflammation tumors, sense changes extracellular range between 8 6, modulating key biology, fibrosis. This review discusses features highlights states pathways affected by their activity.

Abstract Increasing numbers of studies have shown that tumor cells prefer fermentative glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation to provide a vast amount energy for fast proliferation even under oxygen‐sufficient conditions. This metabolic alteration not only favors cell progression and metastasis but also increases lactate accumulation in solid tumors. In addition serving as byproduct glycolytic cells, plays central role the construction acidic immunosuppressive microenvironment, resulting therapeutic tolerance. Recently, targeted drug delivery inherent properties nanomaterials attracted great attention, research on modulating metabolism based enhance antitumor therapy has exploded. this review, advanced strategies interfere with are discussed, including inhibiting anabolism, promoting catabolism, disrupting “lactate shuttle”. Furthermore, recent advances combining modulation other therapies, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, photothermal therapy, reactive oxygen species‐related etc., which achieved cooperatively enhanced outcomes, summarized. Finally, foreseeable challenges prospective developments reviewed future development field.

Multiple cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC), are more frequent and often aggressive in individuals with obesity. Here, we showed that macrophages accumulated within tumors of patients obesity CRC obese mice they promoted accelerated tumor growth. These changes were initiated by oleic acid accumulation subsequent cell–derived production driven macrophage signaling through the acid-sensing receptor GPR65. We found a similar role for GPR65 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mice. Tumors or HCC also exhibited increased expression, suggesting mechanism revealed here may contribute to growth range obesity-associated cancers represent potential therapeutic target.

Cancer tissues exhibit an acidic microenvironment owing to the accumulation of protons and lactic acid produced by cancer inflammatory cells. To examine role in lymphatic metastasis, gene expression profiling was conducted using human dermal endothelial cells (HDLECs) treated with a low pH medium. Microarray set enrichment analysis revealed that treatment induced inflammation-related genes HDLECs, including encoding chemokines adhesion molecules. Acid treatment-induced C-X3-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CX3CL1) C-X-C 6 (CXCL6) autocrinally promoted growth tube formation HDLECs. The vascular cell molecule (VCAM-1) increased HDLECs after time-dependent manner, which, turn, enhanced their melanoma Among various acid-sensing receptors, basally expressed G protein-coupled receptor 4 (GPR4), which augmented under microenvironment. induction or VCAM-1 conditions attenuated GPR4 knockdown In addition, lymph node metastases mouse model were suppressed administering anti-VCAM-1 antibody antagonist. These results suggest modifies function via GPR4, thereby promoting metastasis. Acid-sensing receptors downstream molecules might serve as preventive therapeutic targets cancer.
