Vimentin (波形蛋白) 是一種在間充質(zhì)細胞中廣泛表達的 III 型中間絲 (intermediate filament, IF) 蛋白。它在細胞骨架的形成、細胞的形狀維持、細胞的遷移、細胞信號傳導以及細胞應(yīng)激反應(yīng)中發(fā)揮著重要作用。它通過側(cè)向或末端方式附著于細胞核、內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)和線粒體，參與調(diào)控細胞定向運動、取向排列、細胞片層組織形成，并在細胞遷移前沿維持高爾基體極性。此外，波形蛋白通過細胞接觸依賴機制保護SCRIB蛋白免受蛋白酶體降解，并促進其定位于中間絲結(jié)構(gòu)

Vimentin結(jié)構(gòu). Schematic representation of a vimentin filament from a monomer to its assembly into a mature filament. The vimentin monomer is composed of a central a-helical domain flanked by an unstructured head and tail domain. On the central domain, vimentin possesses a rod II domain with lectin-like properties.

重要發(fā)現(xiàn)：Vimentin高表達（VIM+）巨噬細胞通過分泌IL-1β激活Treg細胞的免疫抑制功能

復旦大學的王紅陽/陳磊教授團隊于2024年9月在Nature Cancer （IF：23.5）上發(fā)表了題為“Spatial single-cell protein landscape reveals vimentinhigh macrophages as immune-suppressive in the microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma”的研究性文章。該文繪制了HCC單細胞空間蛋白圖譜，解析了HCC腫瘤間空間異質(zhì)性，建立了預后相關(guān)的干細胞癌（HCC）空間分型（Spatial Pattern），并整合多組學和體外實驗揭示了Vimentin高表達的巨噬細胞與Treg細胞的空間互作促進HCC的疾病進展。

該項研究通過開展了單細胞測序和空間轉(zhuǎn)錄組分析，揭示了VIM+巨噬細胞的基因表達特征，發(fā)現(xiàn)了VIM+巨噬細胞和Treg之間基因表達的高度關(guān)聯(lián)性，提示了VIM+巨噬細胞可能作用于Treg，從而增強免疫抑制。配受體分析進一步揭示了VIM+巨噬細胞或許通過白介素-1β（IL-1β）和干擾素-γ（IFN-γ）參與對Treg細胞的調(diào)控。隨后，作者利用流式細胞儀分離了VIM+和VIM低表達的巨噬細胞，并檢測了其中IL-1β的表達水平。結(jié)果表明，在不同類型的巨噬細胞中，VIM+的巨噬細胞顯著高表達IL-1β，細胞共培養(yǎng)實驗發(fā)現(xiàn)了VIM+巨噬細胞促進Treg分泌IL-10，而加入IL-1β抗體可顯著緩解作用效果。
