Functional loss of the motor protein myosin Vb (MYO5B) induces various defects in intestinal epithelial function and causes a congenital diarrheal disorder, namely, microvillus inclusion disease (MVID). Utilizing the MVID model mice (MYO5BΔIEC) and [MYO5B(G519R)], we previously reported that functional MYO5B loss disrupts progenitor cell differentiation and enterocyte maturation that result in villus blunting and deadly malabsorption symptoms. In this study, we determined that both absence and a point mutation of MYO5B impair lipid metabolism and alter mitochondrial structure, which may underlie the progenitor cell malfunction observed in the MVID intestine.

Solid tumors are formed by cancer cells and the surrounding non-cancer stromal cells under hypoxic conditions, collectively referred to as the tumor microenvironment (TME). Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor (LPA to LPA) signaling is crucial in regulating tumor progression. This study investigated the impact of LPA receptor signaling on the biological behaviors of colon cancer DLD-1 cells co-cultured with lymphatic endothelial SVEC4-10 cells under hypoxic conditions.

Cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB) and lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5 (LPA) are both classified as G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) activated by bioactive lipids and are highly expressed in colon cancer cells. However, crosstalk between two receptors and its potential effects on cancer cell physiology have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, the results of bioluminescence resonance energy transfer analysis showed that, among the LPA receptors, CB strongly and specifically interacted with LPA.
