1. Podocyte Shape Regulation by Semaphorin 3A and MICAL-1
Alda Tufro Methods Mol Biol. 2017;1493:393-399. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-6448-2_28.
Podocytes are complex epithelial cells with foot processes that are essential for the integrity and function of the kidney glomerular filters. Podocyte foot processes linked by slit diaphragms constitute signaling platforms that tightly regulate the cell shape and the function of the filtration barrier. Semaphorin (Sema) 3A is a class 3 semaphorin secreted by podocytes that has autocrine and paracrine functions in the kidney. We have shown that Sema3A regulates podocyte shape and that excess Sema3A signaling induces glomerular disease and aggravates diabetic nephropathy. MICAL-1 is an actin-binding protein that mediates Sema3A signals in podocytes. This chapter describes the methods used to examine how Sema3A signaling regulates podocyte shape.
2. Sema3A Reduces Sprouting of Adult Rod Photoreceptors In Vitro

Purpose: Rod photoreceptor terminals respond to retinal injury with retraction and sprouting. Since the guidance cue Semaphorin3A (Sema3A) is observed in the retina after injury, we asked whether Sema3A contributes to structural plasticity in rod photoreceptors. Methods: We used Western blots and alkaline phosphatase (AP)-tagged neuropilin-1 (NPN-1) to detect the expression of Sema3A in an organotypic model of porcine retinal detachment. We then examined Sema3A binding to cultured salamander rod photoreceptors using AP-tagged Sema3A. For functional analysis, we used a microspritzer to apply a gradient of Sema3A-Fc to isolated salamander rod photoreceptors over 24 hours. Results: Sema3A protein was biochemically detected in porcine retinal explants in the retina 7, 24, and 72 hours after detachment. In sections, NPN-1 receptor was bound to the inner and outer retina. For isolated rod photoreceptors, Sema3A localized to synaptic terminals and to neuritic processes after 1 week in vitro. In microspritzed rod photoreceptors, process initiation occurred away from high concentrations of Sema3A. Sema3A significantly decreased the number of processes formed by rod photoreceptors although the average length of processes was not affected. The cellular orientation of rod photoreceptors relative to the microspritzer also significantly changed over time; this effect was reduced with the Sema3A inhibitor, xanthofulvin. Conclusion: Sema3A is expressed in the retina after detachment, binds to rod photoreceptors, affects cell orientation, and reduces photoreceptor process initiation in vitro. Our results suggest that Sema3A contributes to axonal retraction in retinal injury, whereas rod neuritic sprouting and regenerative synaptogenesis may require a reduction in semaphorin signaling.
3. Identification of natural inhibitors of Entamoeba histolytica cysteine synthase from microbial secondary metabolites

Amebiasis is a common worldwide diarrheal disease, caused by the protozoan parasite, Entamoeba histolytica. Metronidazole has been a drug of choice against amebiasis for decades despite its known side effects and low efficacy against asymptomatic cyst carriers. E. histolytica is also capable of surviving sub-therapeutic levels of metronidazole in vitro. Novel drugs with different mode of action are therefore urgently needed. The sulfur assimilatory de novo L-cysteine biosynthetic pathway is essential for various cellular activities, including the proliferation and anti-oxidative defense of E. histolytica. Since the pathway, consisting of two reactions catalyzed by serine acetyltransferase (SAT) and cysteine synthase (CS, O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase), does not exist in humans, it is a rational drug target against amebiasis. To discover inhibitors against the CS of E. histolytica (EhCS), the compounds of Kitasato Natural Products Library were screened against two recombinant CS isozymes: EhCS1 and EhCS3. Nine compounds inhibited EhCS1 and EhCS3 with IC50 values of 0.31-490 μM. Of those, seven compounds share a naphthoquinone moiety, indicating the structural importance of the moiety for binding to the active site of EhCS1 and EhCS3. We further screened >9,000 microbial broths for CS inhibition and purified two compounds, xanthofulvin and exophillic acid from fungal broths. Xanthofulvin inhibited EhCS1 and EhCS3. Exophillic acid showed high selectivity against EhCS1, but exhibited no inhibition against EhCS3. In vitro anti-amebic activity of the 11 EhCS inhibitors was also examined. Deacetylkinamycin C and nanaomycin A showed more potent amebicidal activity with IC50 values of 18 and 0.8 μM, respectively, in the cysteine deprived conditions. The differential sensitivity of trophozoites against deacetylkinamycin C in the presence or absence of L-cysteine in the medium and the IC50 values against EhCS suggest the amebicidal effect of deacetylkinamycin C is due to CS inhibition.
