Dynamic lysine acetylation and succinylation of platelet proteins regulates platelet storage lesion: mechanistic insights from multi-omics.

OBJECTIVES: Platelet storage lesion (PSL) severely impairs platelet function during storage, presenting a major hurdle in transfusion medicine; however, the dynamic interplay between global proteomic changes and post-translational modifications (PTMs) underlying these functional deteriorations remains insufficiently characterized. Here, we report the first comprehensive multi-omics analysis integrating global proteomics, acetylomics, and succinylomics to dissect the molecular dynamics during platelet storage. METHODS: We performed quantification of global proteomics, acetylome and succinylome based on TMT-labeled LC-MS/MS analysis, combined with antibody-affinity enrichment and purification. Dynamic molecular changes and functional transformation of platelet were also characterized under proper conditions stored for 1, 3, 5, 7 days, respectively. RESULTS: We systematically characterized 3,609 proteins, 1,308 acetylation sites, and 1,947 succinylation sites across multiple storage time points (D1, D3, D5, D7). We distinct temporal patterns of post-translational modifications, with succinylation showing more extensive coverage than acetylation in platelets. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed extensive metabolic reprogramming involving complement activation, energy metabolism, and cellular detoxification processes. The identification of specific motif patterns provided mechanistic insights into the functional specificity of these modifications. Random forest machine learning identified 20 core regulatory proteins representing critical nodes in PSL development. Furthermore, we employed real - time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT - QPCR) to measure the expression levels of key genes related to platelet function and PTM - associated pathways. CONCLUSION: By mapping the interplay between proteomic abundance shifts and PTM dynamics, this study provides a multidimensional understanding of PSL, establishing a foundational framework for optimizing storage protocols and enhancing transfusion safety.

Targeting ncRNA control networks with engineered exosomes to overcome therapy resistance in thyroid cancer.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most prevalent endocrine malignancy, accounting for over 90% of thyroid cancers. While differentiated thyroid cancers (DTCs) typically have favorable outcomes, a significant subset progresses to radioactive iodine-refractory (RAIR) disease, characterized by impaired iodine uptake and a 10-year survival rate below 10%. Genetic alterations and dysregulated signaling pathways underlie this transition. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), play critical regulatory roles in tumor biology and may be transported via exosomes, facilitating intercellular communication and contributing to RAIR-PTC. This systematic review, conducted according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines, evaluated the role of exosomal ncRNAs in RAIR-PTC. A comprehensive search of PubMed, PubMed Central, and Google Scholar identified studies published within the past 15 years in English. Following stringent quality appraisal, studies with a non-bias score above 40% were included. Of 961 identified publications, 96 high-quality studies met inclusion criteria. Evidence indicates that therapy resistance in RAIR-PTC is driven by convergent ncRNA regulatory networks that suppress sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) expression and activate oncogenic pathways, most notably MAPK, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Multiple ncRNAs converge on key regulatory nodes, forming redundant circuits that sustain dedifferentiation, metabolic adaptation, and impaired iodide transport. Several consistently dysregulated ncRNAs directly or indirectly regulate NIS expression and trafficking, highlighting actionable targets. Exosomes emerge as biologically compatible, programmable delivery vehicles capable of transporting therapeutic ncRNA payloads independent of endogenous packaging mechanisms. These findings support a precision therapeutic paradigm in which engineered exosomes reprogram ncRNA networks to restore iodine-handling pathways and overcome therapy resistance in RAIR-PTC.

Proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiles of time-dependent dynamic changes in LPS-induced macrophage polarization.

The temporal proteomic and phosphoproteomic reprogramming during early M1 macrophage polarization (0-6 h) remains poorly understood. We performed time-resolved proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages at seven time points within 6 h. Time-clustering of differentially expressed molecules revealed two patterns: initial change with partial recovery, and sustained dysregulation. Upregulated proteins and phosphorylation sites were enriched in the Rho GTPase signaling pathway, T-cell receptor signaling pathway, NF-κB cascade, osteoclast differentiation pathway, and antiviral immune pathway. Downregulated pathways were associated with cell cycle regulation, chromatin remodeling, RNA metabolism, and mRNA processing, indicating resource reallocation to prioritize acute inflammatory responses. Kinase-substrate network analysis confirmed the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), protein kinase B (AKT), and ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) families as core upstream phosphorylation regulators. Integrated analysis revealed synergistic and antagonistic relationships between proteomic and phosphoproteomic changes. This study provides a temporal molecular atlas of M1 polarization, delineating inflammatory signaling dynamics and offering a basis for therapeutic target discovery in inflammatory diseases. SIGNIFICANCE: Macrophage M1 polarization is a central event in innate immune defense against pathogenic invasion, yet its dysregulation is a pivotal driver of the onset and progression of a broad spectrum of inflammation-associated disorders, spanning autoimmune diseases, infectious conditions and inflammatory bone diseases, making the dissection of its molecular regulatory mechanisms an urgent research priority in immunology and translational medicine. Dynamic molecular events within 0-6 h after LPS stimulation are critical for initiating and shaping M1 inflammatory activation, yet systematic time-resolved proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling remains insufficient.In this study, we comprehensively characterized temporal proteome and phosphoproteome changes at seven consecutive time points during macrophage polarization, clarified two distinct dynamic molecular patterns, identified core signaling pathways and key kinase regulators involved in inflammatory reprogramming, and uncovered the leading role of post-translational phosphorylation modifications in initiating polarization. This work delineates the time-series molecular atlas of early macrophage activation, provides novel insights into the temporal regulatory mechanism of inflammatory signaling networks, and lays a solid experimental foundation for exploring new intervention targets and regulatory nodes in clinical translational research.
