To explore the role of the mutations G38R and D40G of Annexin A11 (ANXA11) in the onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
 Methods: The plasmids expressing ANXA11 wild type protein, ANXA11 G38R protein and ANXA11 D40G protein were constructed, respectively. The recombinant plasmids were then transfected into HEK293 cells respectively followed by cycloheximide (CHX) treatment for 0, 2, 4 and 8 h. The protein expressions of ANXA11 wild type, ANXA11 G38R and ANXA11 D40G mutations were determined by Western blot. Gray analysis by Image J was performed to compare the half-life of each protein. The NSC-34 cell lines constantly expressing ANXA11 wild type protein, ANXA11 G38R protein and ANXA11 D40G protein were established. The cells were treated with NP-40 lysis buffer to examine the protein solubility by Western blot.
 Results: Both ANXA11 G38R protein and ANXA11 D40G protein showed a shorter half-life than ANXA11 wild type protein (P<0.05), while there was no difference between ANXA11 G38R protein and ANXA11 D40G protein (P>0.05). There was no visible insoluble substance in the NP-40 lysates for ANXA11 wild type protein, ANXA11 G38R protein and ANXA11 D40G protein.
 Conclusion: G38R and D40G mutations reduce the stability of ANXA11 protein. G38R and D40G mutations do not alter ANXA11 solubility.

Mutations in the ANXA11 gene, encoding an RNA-binding protein, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but the underlying in vivo mechanisms remain unclear. This study examines the clinical features of ALS patients harboring the ANXA11 hotspot mutation p.P36R, characterized by late-onset motor neuron disease and occasional multi-system involvement.

Annexins are a family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins involved in crucial cellular processes such as cell division, calcium signaling, vesicle trafficking, membrane repair, and apoptosis. In addition to these properties, Annexins have also been shown to bind RNA, although this function is not universally recognized. In the attempt to clarify this important issue, we employed an integrated combination of experimental and computational approaches.

Genomics allows identification of genes and mutations associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Mutations in annexin A11 (ANXA11) are responsible for ~1% of all familial ALS and fronto-temporal dementia cases. The present study used the fruit fly, , to assess the mechanism of toxicity of ANXA11 mutants in residues that are conserved in the fly ANXB11 protein, the closest homolog to human ANXA11.

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the abnormal filamentous assembly of specific proteins in the central nervous system. Human genetic studies have established a causal role for protein assembly in neurodegeneration. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown, which is limiting progress in developing clinical tools for these diseases.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how miRNAs in small extracellular vesicles (sEV) contribute to chemotherapy resistance in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), particularly with cisplatin treatment.
  • Researchers used various techniques to identify the role of the RNA-binding protein ANXA11 and its interaction with the miRNA miR-148a-3p.
  • Findings indicate that ANXA11 helps regulate miR-148a-3p's stability and location, influencing tumor growth and resistance to cisplatin; reduced levels of ANXA11 lead to increased miR-148a-3p release and chemotherapy resistance.
