Aggresomes are transient microtubule-dependent inclusion bodies that sequester misfolded proteins and are ultimately removed by autophagy. Here we report the generation of a choroid plexus carcinoma cell line; Children's Cancer Hospital Egypt (CCHE)-45, which is characterized by the constitutive formation of aggresomes. When examining the autophagy pathway as the main route for aggresomes clearance, CCHE-45 cells displayed increased autophagy flux mediated by MAP1LC3B. MAP1LC3A-Variant1 gene expression was silenced by promoter methylation. Restoring MAP1LC3A-Variant1 expression resulted in the formation of MAP1LC3A positive autophagosmes and the disruption of the aggresomes' vimentin cage independent of MAP1LC3B positive autophagosomes. Our data supports the notion that basal quality control autophagy and vimentin cage clearance in CCHE-45 are mediated by MAP1LC3A. Hence we propose that absence of MAP1LC3A disrupts the autophagic pathway and leads to the failure of aggresome vimentin cage degradation. Consequently, this could represent a targetable pathway in autophagy-dependent cancers.

NF-кB promotes aggresome formation via upregulating HDAC6 and in turn maintaining Vimentin cage.

Proteasome inhibitors have been applied to anticancer therapy by accumulating toxic misfolded proteins. However, chemical inactivation of proteasome generates aggresome, a Vimentin cage-enclosed subcellular structure quarantining HDAC6-Dynein-transported misfolded proteins before the protein toxicants are degraded by autophagy. Hence, aggresome may attenuate proteasome inhibitor drug-induced cytotoxicity.

Article Synopsis
- * This study shows that specific non-truncating mutations in ARID1B disrupt protein structure, causing harmful aggregation in cells, while still maintaining protein levels.
- * Findings support the idea that these non-truncating variants could cause disease, encouraging a reevaluation of previously ambiguous variants and enhancing genetic diagnosis for Coffin-Siris syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is a severe form of pulmonary hypertension that currently has no effective treatments, prompting research into the potential benefits of inhaled hydrogen gas.
- In a study with female rats, hydrogen inhalation showed positive effects by improving heart function, reversing heart enlargement, and preventing changes in pulmonary blood vessels when administered either before or after a harmful substance (mitomycin C).
- The use of hydrogen gas decreased markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in lung tissue and serum, while also promoting protective signaling pathways, suggesting that hydrogen inhalation could help counteract the damaging effects associated with PVOD.

Unlabelled: The host cytoskeleton plays crucial roles in various stages of virus infection, including viral entry, transport, replication, and release. However, the specific mechanisms by which intermediate filaments are involved in orthoflavivirus infection have not been well understood. In this study, we demonstrate that the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) remodels the vimentin network, resulting in the formation of cage-like structures that support viral replication.

The presence of large protein inclusions is a hallmark of neurodegeneration, and yet the precise molecular factors that contribute to their formation remain poorly understood. Screens using aggregation-prone proteins have commonly relied on downstream toxicity as a readout rather than the direct formation of aggregates. Here, we combined a genome-wide CRISPR knockout screen with Pulse Shape Analysis, a FACS-based method for inclusion detection, to identify direct modifiers of TDP-43 aggregation in human cells.
