In patients with inactivating mutations in myosin Vb (Myo5B), enterocytes show large inclusions lined by microvilli. The origin of inclusions in small-intestinal enterocytes in microvillus inclusion disease is currently unclear. We postulated that inclusions in Myo5b KO mouse enterocytes form through invagination of the apical brush border membrane. 70-kD FITC-dextran added apically to Myo5b KO intestinal explants accumulated in intracellular inclusions. Live imaging of Myo5b KO-derived enteroids confirmed the formation of inclusions from the apical membrane. Treatment of intestinal explants and enteroids with Dyngo resulted in accumulation of inclusions at the apical membrane. Inclusions in Myo5b KO enterocytes contained VAMP4 and Pacsin 2 (Syndapin 2). Myo5b;Pacsin 2 double-KO mice showed a significant decrease in inclusion formation. Our results suggest that apical bulk endocytosis in Myo5b KO enterocytes resembles activity-dependent bulk endocytosis, the primary mechanism for synaptic vesicle uptake during intense neuronal stimulation. Thus, apical bulk endocytosis mediates the formation of inclusions in neonatal Myo5b KO enterocytes.

Many synaptic vesicles undergo exocytosis in motor nerve terminals during neuromuscular communication. Endocytosis then recovers the synaptic vesicle pool and presynaptic membrane area. The kinetics of endocytosis may shape neuromuscular transmission, determining its long-term reliability.

- The obligate intracellular parasite replicates within a compartment called the parasitophorous vacuole (PV) and utilizes a protein ingestion pathway to take in nutrients from the host cell's cytosol, initiated by the protein GRA14.
- A genome-wide CRISPR screen revealed that mutants lacking components of this ingestion pathway (GRA14, CPL, or CRT) are forced to rely more on alternative metabolic pathways to survive, such as pyrimidine and fatty acid biosynthesis.
- Analysis showed that these ingestion-deficient mutants had lower levels of key nutrients and growth defects when amino acids were scarce, indicating that the ingestion pathway plays a crucial role in nutrient acquisition during resource-limited conditions.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Clinical and experimental data demonstrated that circulating monocytes internalize plasma lipoproteins and become lipid-laden foamy cells in hypercholesterolemic subjects. This study was designed to identify the endocytic mechanisms responsible for foamy monocyte formation, perform functional and transcriptomic analysis of foamy and non-foamy monocytes relevant to ASCVD, and characterize specific monocyte subsets isolated from the circulation of normocholesterolemic controls and hypercholesterolemic patients.

Quantum dots (QDs) are widely used, but their health impact on the visual system is little known. This study aims to elucidate the effects and mechanisms of typical metallic QDs on retinas using zebrafish. Comprehensive histology, imaging, and bulk RNA sequencing reveal that InP/ZnS QDs cause retinal degeneration.

Article Synopsis
- * Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), particularly propionate, can influence microglial function, but it's unclear whether their effects are positive or negative in the context of Alzheimer's disease.
- * In research, propionate was found to reduce the inflammatory response of microglia to Aβ by downregulating inflammation-related genes but also impaired their ability to phagocytize Aβ, indicating a complex relationship between SCFAs and microglial activity.
