الوصف: Exposure to particulate matter has been associated with diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Owing to the dense vasculature of the kidney, it has also been identified as a PM2.5 target organ. A potential contributor to PM2.5-mediated damage may be the promotion of inflammation. The essential oil 2-undecanone (2-methyl nonyl ketone) is an H. cordata isolate, and it has been shown to possess diverse pharmacologic effects, including anti-inflammatory properties. In this study we explored the ability of 2-undecanone to protect against PM2.5-induced kidney inflammation and the exact mechanisms in this process. We found that PM2.5 elevated the levels of certain inflammatory cytokines in BALB/c mice and in HEK 293 cells. Supplementation with 2-undecanone attenuated this PM2.5-induced inflammatory injury. Interestingly, in HEK 293 cells, the PM2.5-associated inflammation was aggravated by the mitophagy inhibitor Medivi-1, while it was attenuated by rapamycin, indicating that the mechanism of 2-undecanone-mediated inhibition of inflammation may relate to mitophagy. Meanwhile, 2-undecanone induces mitophagy in HEK 293 cells by suppressing Akt1-mTOR signaling. These results indicate that PM2.5 can induce kidney inflammation, and mitophagy induced by 2-undecanone may play a protective role against this renal inflammation.

الوصف: Due to the rapid rise in the prevalence of chronic metabolic disease, more and more clinicians and basic medical researchers focus their eyesight on insulin resistance (IR), an early and central event of metabolic diseases. The occurrence and development of IR are primarily caused by excessive energy intake and reduced energy consumption. Liver is the central organ that controls glucose homeostasis, playing a considerable role in systemic IR. Decreased capacity of oxidative metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction are being blamed as the direct reason for the development of IR. Mitochondrial Ca2+ plays a fundamental role in maintaining proper mitochondrial function and redox stability. The maintaining of mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis requires the cooperation of ion channels in the inner and outer membrane of mitochondria, such as mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex (MCUC) and voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs). In addition, the crosstalk between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), lysosome and plasma membrane with mitochondria is also significant for mitochondrial calcium homeostasis, which is responsible for an efficient network of cellular Ca2+ signaling. Here, we review the recent progression in the research about the regulation factors for mitochondrial Ca2+ and how the dysregulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis is involved in the pathogenesis of hepatic IR, providing a new perspective for further exploring the role of ion in the onset and development of IR.

الوصف: Metastasis is a major cause of poor prognosis in patients suffered with salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC), in which many factors are implicated. In this study, we identified that IGFBP2, overexpressed in SACC, correlated positively with perineural invasion or metastasis and indicated worse outcome. Moreover, IGFBP2 overexpression could dramatically improve motility and invasion capacity of SACC cells in vitro. Mechanically, IGFBP2 enhanced expression of ZEB1 in a NF-κB (p65)-dependent manner and then promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in SACC. In addition, IGFBP2 mutation in the nuclear localization signal could impede nuclear translocation of p65, lower ZEB1 expression, and abrogate the EMT process. In xenograft models, IGFBP2 overexpression promoted lung and liver metastases of SACC cells; while if nuclear IGFBP2 was reduced, the formation of metastases in lung and liver was weakened. Together, these results for the first time demonstrate that IGFBP2 plays an important role in invasion and metastasis of SACC through the NF-κB/ZEB1 signaling pathway and IGFBP2 may be a novel biomarker and target for SACC.

الوصف: Arsenic exposure causes nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Inflammation is a key contributor to the pathology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), including NASH. However, it is unclear how arsenic induces inflammation. In mouse livers, we show that arsenic trioxide (As2O3) induced NASH, increased autophagy and NLRP3 inflammasome activation, increased lipid accumulation, and resulted in dysregulation of lipid-related genes. Supplemented with taurine (Tau) attenuated the inflammation and autophagy caused by As2O3. In HepG2 cells, we found that As2O3-induced pyroptotic cell death was dependent upon the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, which was CTSB-dependent. In addition, inhibiting autophagy alleviated the As2O3-induced increase of cytosolic CTSB expression and subsequent release of LDH, activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and pyroptosis. Moreover, we found that Tau alleviated As2O3-induced elevation of autophagy, CTSB expression, and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and reduced the release of LDH, pyroptotic cell death, and inflammation. Interestingly, As2O3-induced lipid accumulation could not be alleviated by either inhibition of autophagy nor by inhibition of CTSB. Additionally, neither inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome or Tau treatment could alleviate lipid accumulation. These results demonstrated that As2O3-induced pyroptosis involves autophagy, CTSB, and the NLRP3 inflammasome cascade, and that Tau alleviates As2O3-induced liver inflammation by inhibiting the autophagic-CTSB-NLRP3 inflammasomal pathway rather than decreasing lipid accumulation. These findings give insight into the association of autophagy, inflammation, pyroptosis, and NASH induced by As2O3.

الوصف: Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is one kind of persistent organic pollutants. In previous study, we found that PFOS induced autophagy-dependent lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) in hepatocytes, and siRNA against lysosomal permease spinster 1 (SPNS1) relieved PFOS-induced LMP. However, whether and how SPNS1 functioned as the link between autophagy and LMP was still not defined. In this study, we constructed a stable cell line expressing high levels of SPNS1. We found that SPNS1 interacted specifically with α-tubulin of tyrosinated isotype by pull-down assay. After treatment with PFOS, the level of tyrosinated α-tubulin was autophagy-dependently decreased. SPNS1-tyrosinated α-tubulin interaction was disrupted subsequently, which led to LMP eventually. We also found that stable high-expression of SPNS1 in hepatocytes accelerated lysosomal acidification, and deteriorated PFOS-induced LMP. This study pointed out that SPNS1-tyrosinated α-tubulin interaction mediated the cross-talk between autophagy and LMP induced by PFOS, shedding new light on the mechanism of PFOS hepatotoxicity.

الوصف: Patulin (PAT), a kind of mycotoxin, is produced by many common fungi in fruit and vegetable-based products. It has been shown to cause hepatotoxicity. However, the possible mechanisms are not completely elucidated. The present study aimed to characterize the role of autophagic-inflammasomal pathway on pyroptosis induced by PAT. In mouse livers, PAT induced pyroptosis, and increased inflammation through the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. In liver cells, we noticed that PAT induced pyroptotic cell death, which was confirmed by the activation of GSDMD, caspase-1, the release of LDH, and the result of PI/Hoechst assay. In addition, PAT-induced pyroptosis was dependent upon the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and the release of cathepsin B. Cells had less expression of caspase-1 and IL-1β protein levels after treated by NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 or cathepsin B inhibitor CA-074Me. The expression of GSDMD and IL-1β protein levels were also decrease after treated by caspase-1 inhibitor Ac-YVAD-cmk. Moreover, autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) attenuated PAT-induced increase in cytoplasmic cathepsin B expression, and subsequent LDH release, the activation of NLRP3 inflamosomes, pyroptotic cell death, and inflammation. These findings suggested that PAT-induced pyroptosis maybe through autophagy-cathepsin B-inflammasomal pathway in the liver. These results provide new mechanistic insights into PAT-induced hepatotoxicity.

الوصف: Intercellular transfer of mitochondria and mitochondrial components through extracellular vesicles (EVs), including microvesicles and exosomes, is an area of intense interest. The cargos that are carried by EVs define their biological activities. Mitochondria are in charge of bioenergetics and maintenance of cell viability. Increasing evidences indicate the presence of intact mitochondria or mitochondrial components in EVs, which raises many questions, how they are engulfed into EVs and what do they do? Here, we present what is currently known about the presence and function of various mitochondrial constituent in EVs. We also review current understanding about how and why mitochondrial components are encapsulated into EVs.

الوصف: Cadmium (Cd) is a pervasive harmful metal in the environment. It is a well-known inducer of tumorigenesis, but its mechanism is still unclear. We have previously reported that Cd-induced autophagy was apoptosis-dependent and prevents apoptotic cell death to ensure the growth of A549 cells. In this study, the mechanism was further investigated. Cd treatment increased glucose uptake and lactate release significantly. Meanwhile, the protein level of GLUT1，HKII，PKM2 and LDHA increased in a time-dependent manner, indicating that Cd induced aerobic glycolysis in A549 and HELF cells. The inhibitors of autophagy, 3MA, and CQ, repressed Cd-induced glycolysis-related proteins, indicating that autophagy was involved in Cd-induced glycolysis in A549 and HELF cells. Knockdown of ATG4B or ATG5 by siATG4B and siATG5 decreased Cd-induced glycolysis, while overexpression of ATG4B enhanced glycolysis. These results demonstrated that Cd-induced glycolysis was autophagy-dependent. Then, glycolysis inhibitor, 2DG and siPKM2 could inhibit Cd-induced cell viability and cell cycle progression compared to only Cd treatment, indicating that glycolysis played an important role in Cd-induced cell growth. Finally, co-treatment of transfection of ATG4B-DNA plasmids with 2DG or siPKM2 further demonstrated that the autophagy-glycolysis axis played an important role in Cd-induced cell cycle progression. Taken together, our results suggested that Cd-induced glycolysis is autophagy-dependent and the autophagy-glycolysis axis underlies the mechanism of Cd-induced cell growth in A549 and HELF cells.

الوصف: Tacrine is the first drug licensed for the treatment of Alzheimer disease. Unfortunately, reversible hepatotoxicity limits its clinical use. In our previous study, we found that tacrine induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells by reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and mitochondria dysfunction. Inonotus obliquus is a mushroom traditionally used as a folk medicine in Asia. In this study, the possible protective effect of polysaccharides from I. obliquus was investigated. The results showed that I. obliquus polysaccharides (IOP) reduced tacrine-induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells. Inhibition of tacrine-induced ROS generation, 8-OHdG formation in mitochondrial DNA, and loss of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential by IOP were also observed. Furthermore, IOP decreased the cytochrome c release and activation of caspase-3 induced by tacrine. These data suggest that IOP could inhibit tacrine-induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells. The protection is mediated by an antioxidant protective mechanism. Consumption of IOP may be a plausible way to prevent tacrine-induced hepatotoxicity.

الوصف: Purpose: PI3K and STAT3 are frequently activated in cancer progression. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms by which PI3K and STAT3 regulate head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) growth. The lncRNA HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) was found to modulate the progression of HNSCC. In this study, we attempted to establish the correlation of PI3K/STAT3/HOTAIR signaling with the progression of HNSCC and its sensitivity toward platinum-based and targeted anti-EGFR combination therapy. Experimental Design: We first analyzed the STAT3/HOTAIR and PI3K/AKT level in human HNSCC samples. We then activated or suppressed STAT3/HOTAIR and determined the effects on HNSCC cell proliferation in vitro and the growth of UM1 xenograft tumor, an orthotopic model of HNSCC. The sensitivity of HNSCC cells toward cisplatin and cetuximab was determined by in vitro assays. Results: HNSCC samples showed significantly robust expression/activation of STAT3, HOTAIR, PI3K, and AKT, compared with normal squamous epithelium. STAT3 inhibition with WP1066 decreased HOTAIR level and sensitized HNSCC to cisplatin or cetuximab. STAT3 promoted HOTAIR transcription and its interaction with pEZH2-S21, resulting in enhanced growth of HNSCC cells. In addition, overexpression of HOTAIR promoted the growth of UM1 xenograft tumors in vivo. Conclusions: Our results suggest that STAT3 signaling promotes HNSCC progression via regulating HOTAIR and pEZH2-S21 in HNSCC with PI3K overexpression/activation. These findings provide a rationale to target the STAT3/HOTAIR/pEZH2-S21 regulatory axis for treating patients with HNSCC. Clin Cancer Res; 24(11); 2665–77. ©2018 AACR.
