Bladder cancer (BC) invasion is a critical factor that impacts the prognosis and quality of life of patients. However, the underlying mechanisms of BC invasion is far from clear. Fibroblast growth factor 13 (FGF13), a non-secretory FGF, has been found to be ectopically expressed in various tumors and implicated in tumor development, but its potential association to BC has not been investigated. Here, we reported that the expression of FGF13A, one nucleolar isoform of FGF13, was downregulated in BC patients and negatively associated with tumor invasion. Additionally, we demonstrated that overexpression of FGF13A could inhibit the migration and invasion of BC 5637 and T24 cells. We also confirmed the localization of FGF13A in the nucleolus and its interaction with nucleoproteins NPM1 and UBP. Subsequently, we identified that the N-terminal region of FGF13A was essential for its nucleolus location and interaction with NPM1. Furthermore, we found that FGF13A inhibited the generation of nascent ribosomal RNA and suppressed the migration and invasion of BC cells through its N-terminal region. Our research establishes, for the first time, a correlation between the expression of FGF13A and the onset and progression of BC. This provides novel insights into the role of FGF13A in the development of BC.

LRRC37B is a human modifier of voltage-gated sodium channels and axon excitability in cortical neurons.

The enhanced cognitive abilities characterizing the human species result from specialized features of neurons and circuits. Here, we report that the hominid-specific gene LRRC37B encodes a receptor expressed in human cortical pyramidal neurons (CPNs) and selectively localized to the axon initial segment (AIS), the subcellular compartment triggering action potentials. Ectopic expression of LRRC37B in mouse CPNs in vivo leads to reduced intrinsic excitability, a distinctive feature of some classes of human CPNs.

The hippocampus is one of two niches in the mammalian brain with persistent neurogenesis into adulthood. The neurogenic capacity of hippocampal neural stem cells (NSCs) declines with age, but the molecular mechanisms of this process remain unknown. In this study, we find that fibroblast growth factor 13 (FGF13) is essential for the post-natal neurogenesis in mouse hippocampus, and FGF13 deficiency impairs learning and memory.

Voltage-gated sodium channels (Nas) are tightly regulated by multiple conserved auxiliary proteins, including the four fibroblast growth factor homologous factors (FGFs), which bind the Na EF-hand like domain (EFL), and calmodulin (CaM), a multifunctional messenger protein that binds the Na IQ motif. The EFL domain and IQ motif are contiguous regions of Na cytosolic C-terminal domains (CTD), placing CaM and FGF in close proximity. However, whether the FGFs and CaM act independently, directly associate, or operate through allosteric interactions to regulate channel function is unknown.

FGF13 Is Required for Histamine-Induced Itch Sensation by Interaction with Na1.7.

Itch can be induced by activation of small-diameter DRG neurons, which express abundant intracellular fibroblast growth factor 13 (FGF13). Although FGF13 is revealed to be essential for heat nociception, its role in mediating itch remains to be investigated. Here, we reported that loss of FGF13 in mouse DRG neurons impaired the histamine-induced scratching behavior.
