Article Abstract
Collapsin response mediator protein 5 (CRMP5) belongs to a family of five cytosolic proteins that play a major role in nervous system development. This protein was first described in cancer-induced autoimmune processes, causing neurodegenerative disorders (paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes). CRMP5 expression has been reported to serve as a biomarker for high-grade lung neuroendocrine carcinomas; however, its functional roles have not been examined in any setting of cancer pathophysiology. In this study, we report two different CRMP5 expression patterns observed in human glioblastoma (GBM) biopsies that establish connections between CRMP5 expression, Notch receptor signaling, and GBM cell proliferation. We demonstrated that elevated CRMP5 promotes Notch receptor expression and Akt activation in human tumor cell lines, GBM stem cells, and primary tumor biopsies. We have shown that the high CRMP5 and Notch expression in GBM xenograft is related to stem cells. This suggests that high CRMP5 expression pattern in GBM biopsies encompasses a subset of stem cells. Mechanistically, CRMP5 functioned by hijacking Notch receptors from Itch-dependent lysosomal degradation. Our findings suggest that CRMP5 serves as a major mediator of Notch signaling and Akt activation by controlling the degradation of the Notch receptor, with implications for defining a biomarker signature in GBM that correlates with and may predict patient survival.

The therapeutic effect of anlotinib on neuroblastoma is still not fully understood. This study aims to explore the differentiation therapeutic effects of anlotinib on neuroblastoma and its potential association with the neural development regulatory protein collapsin response mediator protein 5 (CRMP5), both in vivo and in vitro. A patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model was established to observe the therapeutic effect of anlotinib.

Article Synopsis
- Peripheral neuropathy is a significant reason patients are referred to neurologic clinics, with paraneoplastic neuropathies being a severe subgroup that can lead to high morbidity and mortality.
- Symptoms often include weakness, sensory loss, autonomic dysfunction, severe constipation, and pain, and these neuropathies may be the first sign of underlying malignancy in patients.
- Identifying specific antibodies can help target cancer investigations, as well as differentiate between various types of neuropathies, emphasizing the importance of testing for multiple antibodies simultaneously for better diagnostic sensitivity.

Article Synopsis
- Crmps (Collapsin response mediator proteins) are important for the growth and development of neurons, but their exact roles in the regeneration of injured CNS axons are not well understood, particularly for specific types: Crmp1, Crmp4, and Crmp5.
- In a study focusing on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), researchers found that while all Crmp genes decreased during RGC maturation, Crmp4 was particularly effective at promoting axon regeneration following optic nerve injuries, and it also helps with RGC survival.
- The study revealed that the ability of Crmp proteins to support axon regeneration relates to neurodevelopmental processes that influence the intrinsic growth capabilities of RGCs.

Chronic stress is a critical risk factor for developing depression, which can impair cognitive function. However, the underlying mechanisms involved in chronic stress-induced cognitive deficits remain unclear. Emerging evidence suggests that collapsin response mediator proteins (CRMPs) are implicated in the pathogenesis of psychiatric-related disorders.

5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-induced PpIX fluorescence is used by neurosurgeons to identify the tumor cells of high-grade gliomas during operation. However, the issue of whether 5-ALA-induced PpIX fluorescence consistently stains all the tumor cells is still debated. Here, we assessed the cytoplasmatic signal of 5-ALA by fluorescence microscopy in a series of human gliomas.
