- Syndecan-1 (SDC1) is a cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG), which regulates various signaling pathways controlling the proliferation and migration of malignant mesothelioma and other types of cancer. We have previously shown that SDC1 can translocate to the nucleus in mesothelioma cells through a tubulin-dependent transport mechanism. However, the role of nuclear SDC1 is largely unknown. Here, we performed co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) of SDC1 in a mesothelioma cell line to identify SDC1 interacting proteins. The precipitates contained a large number of proteins, indicating the recovery of protein networks. Proteomic analysis with a focus on nuclear proteins revealed an association with pathways related to cell proliferation and RNA synthesis, splicing and transport. In support of this, the top RNA splicing candidates were verified to interact with SDC1 by Co-IP and subsequent Western blot analysis. Further loss- and gain-of-function experiments showed that SDC1 influences RNA levels in mesothelioma cells. The results identify a proteomic map of SDC1 nuclear interactors in a mesothelioma cell line and suggest a previously unknown role for SDC1 in RNA biogenesis. The results should serve as a fundament for further studies to discover the role of nuclear SDC1 in normal and cancer cells of different origin.

- Tumor cells undergoing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) lose cell surface adhesion molecules and gain invasive and metastatic properties. EMT is a plastic process and tumor cells may shift between different epithelial-mesenchymal states during metastasis. However, how this is regulated is not fully understood. Syndecan-1 (SDC1) is the major cell surface proteoglycan in epithelial cells and has been shown to regulate carcinoma progression and EMT. Recently, it was discovered that SDC1 translocates into the cell nucleus in certain tumor cells. Nuclear SDC1 inhibits cell proliferation, but whether nuclear SDC1 contributes to the regulation of EMT is not clear. Here, we report that loss of nuclear SDC1 is associated with cellular elongation and an E-cadherin-to-N-cadherin switch during TGF-β1-induced EMT in human A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells. Further studies showed that nuclear translocation of SDC1 contributed to the repression of mesenchymal and invasive properties of human B6FS fibrosarcoma cells. The results demonstrate that nuclear translocation contributes to the capacity of SDC1 to regulate epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity in human tumor cells and opens up to mechanistic studies to elucidate the mechanisms involved.

Myeloid cells from Langerhans cell histiocytosis patients exhibit increased vesicle trafficking and an altered secretome capable of activating NK cells

- Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a potentially life-threatening inflammatory myeloid neoplasia linked to paediatric neurodegeneration, whereby transformed LCH cells form agglomerated lesions in various organs. Although MAP-kinase pathway mutations have been identified in LCH cells, the functional consequences of these mutations and the mechanisms that cause the pathogenic behaviour of LCH cells are not well understood. In our study, we used an in vitro differentiation system and RNA-sequencing to compare monocyte-derived dendritic cells from LCH patients to those derived from healthy controls or patients with Crohn’s disease, a non-histiocytic inflammatory disease. We observed that Interferon-γ treatment exacerbated intrinsic differences between LCH patient and control cells, including strikingly increased endoand exocytosis gene activity in LCH patients. We validated these transcriptional patterns in lesions and functionally confirmed that LCH cells exhibited increased endo- and exocytosis. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing of extracellular vesicles (EV) revealed the enrichment of pathological transcripts involved in cell adhesion, MAP-kinase pathway, vesicle trafficking and T-cell activation in LCH patients. Thus, we tested the effect of the LCH secretome on lymphocyte activity and found significant activation of NK cells. These findings implicate EVs in the pathology of LCH for the first time, in line with their established roles in the formation of various other tumour niches. Thus, we describe novel traits of LCH patient cells and suggest a pathogenic mechanism of potential therapeutic and diagnostic importance.

Guidelines for cytopathologic diagnosis of epithelioid and mixed type malignant mesothelioma. Complementary statement from the International Mesothelioma Interest Group, also endorsed by the International Academy of Cytology and the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology

- To provide practical guidelines for the cytopathologic diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma (MM). Cytopathologists involved in the International Mesothelioma Interest Group (IMIG) and the International Academy of Cytology (IAC), who have an interest in the field contributed to this update. Reference material includes peer-reviewed publications and textbooks. This article is the result of discussions during and after the IMIG 2012 conference in Boston, followed by thorough discussions during the 2013 IAC meeting in Paris. Additional contributions have been obtained from cytopathologists and scientists, who could not attend these meetings, with final discussions and input during the IMIG 2014 conference in cape town. During the previous IMIG biennial meetings, thorough discussions have resulted in published guidelines for the pathologic diagnosis of MM. However, previous recommendations have stated that the diagnosis of MM should be based on histological material only.[12] Accumulating evidence now indicates that the cytological diagnosis of MM supported by ancillary techniques is as reliable as that based on histopathology, although the sensitivity with cytology may be somewhat lower.[345] Recognizing that noninvasive diagnostic modalities benefit both the patient and the health system, future recommendations should include cytology as an accepted method for the diagnosis of this malignancy.[67] The article describes the consensus of opinions of the authors on how cytology together with ancillary testing can be used to establish a reliable diagnosis of MM.
