Abstract
Mitochondria emerged from bacterial ancestors during endosymbiosis and are crucial for cellular processes such as energy production and homeostasis, stress responses, cell survival, and more. They are the site of aerobic respiration and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in eukaryotes. However, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is also the source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are both important and dangerous for the cell. Human mitochondria contain mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and its integrity may be endangered by the action of ROS. Fortunately, human mitochondria have repair mechanisms that allow protecting mtDNA and repairing lesions that may contribute to the occurrence of mutations. Mutagenesis of the mitochondrial genome may manifest in the form of pathological states such as mitochondrial, neurodegenerative, and/or cardiovascular diseases, premature aging, and cancer. The review describes the mitochondrial structure, genome, and the main mitochondrial repair mechanism (base excision repair (BER)) of oxidative lesions in the context of common features between human mitochondria and bacteria. The authors present a holistic view of the similarities of mitochondria and bacteria to show that bacteria may be an interesting experimental model for studying mitochondrial diseases, especially those where the mechanism of DNA repair is impaired.

Helicobacter pylori infection downregulates the DNA glycosylase NEIL2, resulting in increased genome damage and inflammation in gastric epithelial cells. J Biol Chem 2020; 295:11082-11098.

Abstract
Infection with the Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium Helicobacter pylori induces an inflammatory response and oxidative DNA damage in gastric epithelial cells that can lead to gastric cancer (GC). However, the underlying pathogenic mechanism is largely unclear. Here, we report that the suppression of Nei-like DNA glycosylase 2 (NEIL2), a mammalian DNA glycosylase that specifically removes oxidized bases, is one mechanism through which H. pylori infection may fuel the accumulation of DNA damage leading to GC. Using cultured cell lines, gastric biopsy specimens, primary cells, and human enteroid-derived monolayers from healthy human stomach, we show that H. pylori infection greatly reduces NEIL2 expression. The H. pylori infection-induced downregulation of NEIL2 was specific, as Campylobacter jejuni had no such effect. Using gastric organoids isolated from the murine stomach in coculture experiments with live bacteria mimicking the infected stomach lining, we found that H. pylori infection is associated with the production of various inflammatory cytokines. This response was more pronounced in Neil2 knockout (KO) mouse cells than in WT cells, suggesting that NEIL2 suppresses inflammation under physiological conditions. Notably, the H. pylori-infected Neil2-KO murine stomach exhibited more DNA damage than the WT. Furthermore, H. pylori-infected Neil2-KO mice had greater inflammation and more epithelial cell damage. Computational analysis of gene expression profiles of DNA glycosylases in gastric specimens linked the reduced Neil2 level to GC progression. Our results suggest that NEIL2 downregulation is a plausible mechanism by which H. pylori infection impairs DNA damage repair, amplifies the inflammatory response, and initiates GC.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating lung disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by deposition of extracellular matrix proteins, like collagen and fibronectin in the lung interstitium leading to respiratory failure. Our understanding of the pathobiology underlying IPF is still incomplete; however, it is accepted that aging is a major risk factor in the disease while growing evidence suggests that the mitochondria plays an important role in the initiation and progression of pulmonary fibrosis. Mitochondria dysfunction and metabolic reprogramming had been identified in different IPF lung cells (alveolar epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages) promoting low resilience and increasing susceptibility to activation of profibrotic responses. Here we summarize changes in mitochondrial numbers, biogenesis, turnover and associated metabolic adaptations that promote disrepair and fibrosis in the lung. Finally, we highlight new possible therapeutic approaches focused on ameliorate mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
8‐Oxoguanine DNA glycosylase1 (OGG1)‐initiated base excision repair (BER) is the primary pathway to remove the pre‐mutagenic 8‐oxo‐7,8‐dihydroguanine (8‐oxoG) from DNA. Recent studies documented 8‐oxoG serves as an epigenetic‐like mark and OGG1 modulates gene expression in oxidatively stressed cells. For this new role of OGG1, two distinct mechanisms have been proposed: one is coupled to base excision, while the other only requires substrate binding of OGG1––both resulting in conformational adjustment in the adjacent DNA sequences providing access for transcription factors to their cis‐elements. The present study aimed to examine if BER activity of OGG1 is required for pro‐inflammatory gene expression. To this end, Ogg1/OGG1 knockout/depleted cells were transfected with constructs expressing wild‐type (wt) and repair‐deficient mutants of OGG1. OGG1's promoter enrichment, oxidative state, and gene expression were examined. Results showed that TNFα exposure increased levels of oxidatively modified cysteine(s) of wt OGG1 without impairing its association with promoter and facilitated gene expression. The excision deficient K249Q mutant was even a more potent activator of gene expression; whereas, mutant OGG1 with impaired substrate recognition/binding was not. These data suggested the interaction of OGG1 with its substrate at regulatory regions followed by conformational adjustment in the adjacent DNA is the primary mode to modulate inflammatory gene expression.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a major pathogenic factor in patients with cardiovascular diseases, and endothelial dysfunction (ED) plays a primary role in the occurrence and development of AS. In our study, we attempted to evaluate the role of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) in endothelial cell apoptosis under oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) stimulation and identify the associated mechanisms. The results of our study demonstrated that ox-LDL induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) death via mitochondrial apoptosis, as evidenced by reduced mitochondrial potential, increased mitochondria permeability transition pore opening, cellular calcium overload, and caspase-9/-3 activation. In addition, ox-LDL also suppressed cellular energy production via downregulating the mitochondrial respiratory complex. Moreover, ox-LDL impaired HUVECs migration. Western blot analysis showed that PTEN expression was upregulated after exposure to ox-LDL and knockdown of PTEN could attenuate ox-LDL-mediated endothelial cell damage. Furthermore, we found that ox-LDL impaired mitophagy activity, whereas PTEN deletion could improve mitophagic flux and this effect relied on the activity of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB)-Mitofusin-2 (Mfn2) axis. When the AMPK-CREB-Mfn2 pathway was inhibited, PTEN deletion-associated HUVECs protection was significantly reduced, suggesting that the AMPK-CREB-Mfn2-mitophagy axis is required for PTEN deletion-mediated endothelial cell survival under ox-LDL. Taken together, our results indicate that ox-LDL-induced endothelial cell damage is associated with PTEN overexpression, and inhibition of PTEN could promote endothelial survival via activating the AMPK-CREB-Mfn2-mitophagy signaling pathway.

Abstract
Context: Inflammation response has been found to be associated with endothelial cell death in the progression of varicose veins. Exendin-4 is able to reduce inflammation and thus attenuate cell apoptosis.Aim: The aim of our study is to explore the influence of Exendin-4 on LPS-treated endothelial cells.Methods: Cells were treated with LPS. Exendin-4 was added into the medium of cells. Western blots, qPCR, and ELISA were used to analyze the role of Exendin-4 in LPS-mediated cell death.Results: We found that LPS treatment caused significantly cell death. Whereas this trend could be attenuated by Exendin-4. After treatment with Exendin-4, inflammation factors upregulation and oxidative stress activation were significantly repressed, an effect that was followed by a drop in the levels of glucose production and lactic acid generation. At the molecular levels, Exendin-4 treatment inhibited the activity of MAPK-JNK signaling pathway in the presence of LPS treatment.Conclusions: LPS causes cell apoptosis through inducing inflammation response, oxidative stress and energy stress. Exendin-4 treatment enhances cell survival, reduces inflammation, and improves energy stress through inhibiting the MAPK-JNK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Exposure to arsenic in contaminated drinking water is an emerging public health problem that impacts more than 200 million people worldwide. Accumulating lines of evidence from epidemiological studies revealed that chronic exposure to arsenic can result in various human diseases including cancer, type 2 diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. Arsenic is also classified as a Group I human carcinogen. In this review, we survey extensively different modes of action for arsenic-induced carcinogenesis, with focus being placed on arsenic-mediated impairment of DNA repair pathways. Inorganic arsenic can be bioactivated by methylation, and the ensuing products are highly genotoxic. Bioactivation of arsenicals also elicits the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS), which can directly damage DNA and modify cysteine residues in proteins. Results from recent studies suggest zinc finger proteins as crucial molecular targets for direct binding to As3+ or for modifications by arsenic-induced ROS/RNS, which may constitute a common mechanism underlying arsenic-induced perturbations of DNA repair.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction is characterized by sudden ischemia and cardiomyocyte death. Mitochondria have critical roles in regulating cardiomyocyte viability and can sustain damage under ischemic conditions. Mitophagy is a mechanism by which damaged mitochondria are removed by autophagy to maintain mitochondrial structure and function. We investigated the role of the dynamin-like GTPase optic atrophy 1 (Opa1) in mitophagy following myocardial infarction. Opa1 expression was downregulated in infarcted hearts in vivo and in hypoxia-treated cardiomyocytes in vitro. We found that Opa1 overexpression protected cardiomyocytes against hypoxia-induced damage and enhanced cell viability by inducing mitophagy. Opa1-induced mitophagy was activated by treatment with irisin, which protected cardiomyocytes from further damage following myocardial infarction. Opa1 knockdown abolished the cardioprotective effects of irisin resulting in an enhanced inflammatory response, increased oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiomyocytes. Our data indicate that Opa1 plays an important role in maintaining cardiomyocyte viability and mitochondrial function following myocardial infarction by inducing mitophagy. Irisin can activate Opa1-induced mitophagy and protect against cardiomyocyte injury following myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Free radical attack on C1' of deoxyribose forms the oxidized abasic (AP) site 2-deoxyribonolactone (dL). In vitro, dL traps the major base excision DNA repair enzyme DNA polymerase beta (Polβ) in covalent DNA-protein crosslinks (DPC) via the enzyme's N-terminal lyase activity acting on 5'-deoxyribose-5-phosphate residues. We previously demonstrated formation of Polβ-DPC in cells challenged with oxidants generating significant levels of dL. Proteasome inhibition under 1,10-copper-ortho-phenanthroline (CuOP) treatment significantly increased Polβ-DPC accumulation and trapped ubiquitin in the DPC, with Polβ accounting for 60-70 % of the total ubiquitin signal. However, the identity of the remaining oxidative ubiquityl-DPC remained unknown. In this report, we surveyed whether additional AP lyases are trapped in oxidative DPC in mammalian cells in culture. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), Ku proteins, DNA polymerase λ (Polλ), and the bifunctional 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1), were all trapped in oxidative DPC in mammalian cells. We also observed significant trapping of Polλ, PARP1, and OGG1 in cells treated with the alkylating agent methylmethane sulfonate (MMS), in addition to dL-inducing agents. Ku proteins, in contrast, followed a pattern of trapping similar to that for Polβ: MMS failed to produce Ku-DPC, while treatment with CuOP or (less effectively) H2O2 gave rise to significant Ku-DPC. Unexpectedly, NEIL1 and NEIL3 were trapped following H2O2 treatment, but not detectably in cells exposed to CuOP. The half-life of all the AP lyase-DPC ranged from 15-60 min, consistent with their active repair. Accordingly, CuOP treatment under proteasome inhibition significantly increased the observed levels of DPC in cultured mammalian cells containing PARP1, Ku protein, Polλ, and OGG1 proteins. As seen for Polβ, blocking the proteasome led to the accumulation of DPC containing ubiquitin. Thus, the ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic mechanisms that control Polβ-DPC removal may also apply to a broad array of oxidative AP lyase-DPC, preventing their toxic accumulation in cells.

Abstract
Base excision DNA repair (BER) is a vitally important pathway that protects the cell genome from many kinds of DNA damage, including oxidation, deamination, and hydrolysis. It involves several tightly coordinated steps, starting from damaged base excision and followed by nicking one DNA strand, incorporating an undamaged nucleotide, and DNA ligation. Deficiencies in BER are often embryonic lethal or cause morbid diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, or severe immune pathologies. Starting from the early 1980s, when the first mammalian cell lines lacking BER were produced by spontaneous mutagenesis, such lines have become a treasure trove of valuable information about the mechanisms of BER, often revealing unexpected connections with other cellular processes, such as antibody maturation or epigenetic demethylation. In addition, these cell lines have found an increasing use in genotoxicity testing, where they provide increased sensitivity and representativity to cell-based assay panels. In this review, we outline current knowledge about BER-deficient cell lines and their use.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is associated with mitochondrial damage. Macrophage-stimulating 1 (MST1) reportedly stimulates mitochondrial apoptosis by suppressing BCL-2. We investigated whether MST1 promotes the progression of cerebral IR injury by inducing mitochondrial dysfunction in vivo and in vitro. Western blot analysis, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, immunofluorescence, and mitochondrial function assays were conducted in cells from wild-type and Mst1-knockout mice subjected to cerebral IR injury. MST1 expression in wild-type glial cells increased following cerebral IR injury. Cerebral IR injury reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial metabolism in glial cells, while it enhanced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation and mitochondrial calcium levels in these cells. The deletion of Mst1 attenuated cerebral IR injury by improving mitochondrial function and reducing mitochondrial damage. The mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) pathway was suppressed in wild-type glial cell upon cerebral IR injury but was reactivated in Mst1-knockout glial cell. Accordingly, blocking the MAPK/ERK pathway abolished the beneficial effects of Mst1 deletion during cerebral IR injury by inducing mitochondrial damage in glial cells. Our results suggest that cerebral IR injury is associated with MST1 upregulation in the brain, while the genetic ablation of Mst1 can attenuate mitochondrial damage and sustain brain function following cerebral IR injury.

Abstract
As a polyphenolic compound, resveratrol (Res) is widely present in a variety of plants. Previous studies have shown that Res can inhibit various tumors. However, its role in c remains largely unexplored. In the present study, we first demonstrated that Res inhibited cell viability and induced apoptosis of glioblastoma A172 cell. Further experiments showed that Res induced mitochondrial dysfunction and activated the activity of caspase-9. Functional studies have found that Res treatment is associated with an increase in the expression of Pak2. Interestingly, inhibition of Pak2 could further augment the proapoptotic effect of Res. Mechanistically, Pak2 inhibition induced reactive oxygen species overproduction, mitochondria-JNK pathway activation, and AMPK-YAP axis suppression. However, overexpression of YAP could abolish the anticancer effects of Res and Pak2 inhibition, suggesting a necessary role played by the AMPK-YAP pathway in regulating cancer-suppressive actions of Res and Pak2 inhibition. Altogether, our results indicated that Res in combination with Pak2 inhibition could further enhance the anticancer property of Res and this effect is mediated via the AMPK-YAP pathway.

Abstract
Objective: Hyperglycemia-mediated cardiomyocyte damage is associated with inflammation and AMPK inactivation.Aim: The aim of our study is to explore the protective effects exerted by liraglutide on AMPK pathway and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor in diabetic cardiomyopathy.Methods: Cardiomyocytes were treated with high-glucose stress and cardiomyocyte viability was determined via (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Besides, LDH release, immunofluorescence, and qPCR were used to verify the influence of liraglutide on hyperglycemia-treated cardiomyocytes.Results: Hyperglycemia treatment caused inflammation response and oxidative stress were significantly elevated in cardiomyocytes. This alteration could be reversed by liraglutide. Besides, cell viability was reduced whereas apoptosis was increased after exposure to high glucose treatment. However, liraglutide treatment could attenuate apoptosis and reverse cell viability in cardiomyocyte. Further, we found that AMPK pathway was also activated and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor expression was increased in response to liraglutide treatment.Conclusions: Liraglutide could attenuate hyperglycemia-mediated cardiomyocyte damage through reversing AMPK pathway and upregulating glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in therapies in past decades, the mortality rate of septic cardiomyopathy remains high. The aim of this study is to explore the therapeutic effects of combined treatment using melatonin and irisin in a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated septic cardiomyopathy. Our data found that melatonin and irisin could further attenuate LPS-induced myocardial depression. Molecular investigation illustrated that melatonin and irisin cotreatment sustained cardiomyocyte viability and improved mitochondrial function under LPS stress. Pathway analysis demonstrated that macrophage-stimulating 1 (Mst1), which was significantly activated by LPS, was drastically inhibited by melatonin/irisin cotreatment. Mechanically, Mst1 activated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway and the latter induced oxidative stress, adenosine triphosphate metabolism disorder, mitochondrial membrane potential reduction, and cardiomyocyte death activation. Melatonin and irisin cotreatment effectively inhibited the Mst1-JNK pathway and, thus, promoted cardiomyocyte survival and mitochondrial homeostasis. Interestingly, Mst1 overexpression abolished the beneficial effects of melatonin and irisin in vivo and in vitro. Altogether, our results confirmed that melatonin and irisin combination treatment could protect heart against sepsis-induced myocardial depression via modulating the Mst1-JNK pathways.

Abstract
The growing clinical and epidemiological significance of gestational diabetes mellitus results from its constantly increasing worldwide prevalence, obesity, and overall unhealthy lifestyle among women of childbearing age. Oxidative stress seems to be the most important predictor of gestational diabetes mellitus development. Disturbances in the cell caused by oxidative stress lead to different changes in biomolecules, including DNA. The nucleobase which is most susceptible to oxidative stress is guanine. Its damage results in two main modifications: 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosineor 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine. Their significant level can indicate pathological processes during pregnancy, like gestational diabetes mellitus and probably, type 2 diabetes mellitus after pregnancy. This review provides an overview of current knowledge on the use of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosineand/or 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine as a biomarker in gestational diabetes mellitus and allows us to understand the mechanism of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosineand/or 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine generation during this disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE The increase of visceral abdominal fat (VAF) and oxidative stress (OS) are independent predictors for cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to determine the association of VAF with proinflammatory cytokines, oxidants, antioxidants, and oxidative damage to DNA in subjects with normal weight, overweight, and obesity. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study that included 21 men and 71 women who attended for a medical check-up was conducted. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to measure the VAF volume. ELISA and colorimetric techniques were used for chemical analysis. RESULTS Low activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was found in overweight and obese subjects compared to the normal weight group (p=0.005). In contrast, the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) was higher in the overweight and obesity groups compared to the normal weight subjects (p=0.017). The total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was also increased in the overweight group compared to the normal weight group (p=0.04). According to the volume of VAF, the levels of tumor necrosis factor alfa and interleukin 6 showed no differences between subjects with normal and high VAF. Subjects with high VAF show higher levels of 8-isoprostans compared to normal VAF group (p=0.039). Less concentration of 8-oxoguanine-DNA-N-glycosylase-1 (hOGG1) was found in the high VAF group (p=0.032) compared to the normal VAF subjects. VAF was positively correlated with lipoperoxides (LPO) (r=0.27, p<0.05) and 8-isoprostanes (r=0.25, p<0.05). We also found correlations between oxidative stress markers and anthropometric ratios for intra-abdominal fat. The waist-hip ratio was positively correlated with LPO (r=0.30, p<0.05) and TAC (r=0.24, p<0.05). CONCLUSION These findings suggest that the predominantly oxidative damage associated with VAF in overweight or obesity is lipoperoxidation and oxidative DNA damage. Alterations in endogenous antioxidant defenses may not be linked to the amount of VAF.

Abstract
Chemical modifications of DNA and RNA regulate genome functions or trigger mutagenesis resulting in aging or cancer. Oxidations of macromolecules, including DNA, are common reactions in biological systems and often part of regulatory circuits rather than accidental events. DNA alterations are particularly relevant since the unique role of nuclear and mitochondrial genome is coding enduring and inheritable information. Therefore, an alteration in DNA may represent a relevant problem given its transmission to daughter cells. At the same time, the regulation of gene expression allows cells to continuously adapt to the environmental changes that occur throughout the life of the organism to ultimately maintain cellular homeostasis. Here we review the multiple ways that lead to DNA oxidation and the regulation of mechanisms activated by cells to repair this damage. Moreover, we present the recent evidence suggesting that DNA damage caused by physiological metabolism acts as epigenetic signal for regulation of gene expression. In particular, the predisposition of guanine to oxidation might reflect an adaptation to improve the genome plasticity to redox changes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many germline associations have been reported for urinary bladder cancer (UBC) outcomes and prognostic characteristics. It is unclear whether there are overlapping genetic patterns for various prognostic endpoints. We aimed to review contemporary literature on genetic associations with UBC prognostic outcomes and to identify potential overlap in reported genes. METHODS EMBASE, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases were queried for relevant articles in English language without date restrictions. The initial search identified 1346 articles. After exclusions, 112 studies have been summarized. Cumulatively, 316 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were reported across prognostic outcomes (recurrence, progression, death) and characteristics (tumor stage, grade, size, age, risk group). There were considerable differences between studied outcomes in the context of genetic associations. The most commonly reported SNPs were located in OGG1, TP53, and MDM2. For outcomes with the highest number of reported associations (ie, recurrence and death), functional enrichment annotation yields different terms, potentially indicating separate biological mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that all UBC prognostic outcomes may have different biological origins with limited overlap. Further validation of these observations is essential to target a phenotype that could best predict patient outcome and advance current management practices.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of cerebral ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI) has not been fully described. Accordingly, there is little effective drug available for the treatment of cerebral IRI. The aim of our study was to explore the exact role played by Mfn1-mediated mitochondrial protection in cerebral IRI and evaluate the beneficial action of resveratrol on reperfused brain. Our study demonstrated that hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR) injury caused N2a cell apoptosis and this process was highly affected by mitochondrial dysfunction. Decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, increased mitochondrial oxidative stress, and an activated mitochondrial apoptosis pathway were noted in HR-treated N2a cells. Interestingly, resveratrol treatment could attenuate N2a cell apoptosis via sustaining mitochondrial homeostasis. Further, we found that resveratrol modulated mitochondrial performance via activating the Mfn1-related mitochondrial protective system. Knockdown of Mfn1 could abolish the beneficial effects of resveratrol on HR-treated N2a cells. Besides, we also report that resveratrol regulated Mfn1 expression via the AMPK pathway; inhibition of AMPK pathway also neutralized the anti-apoptotic effect of resveratrol on N2a cells in the setting of cerebral IRI. Taken together our results show that mitochondrial damage is closely associated with the progression of cerebral IRI. In addition we also demonstrate the protective action played by resveratrol on reperfused brain and show that this effect is achieved via activating the AMPK-Mfn1 pathway.

Abstract
Objective: Neuroinflammation is linked to a series of neurodegenerative diseases through the unknown mechanisms.Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of Yes-associated protein (Yap) in the regulation of neuroinflammation.Methods: BV-2 neuroglia cells were treated with TNFα in vitro. Then, western blots, qPCR, immunofluorescence, and ELISA were used to verify the influence of Yap in BV-2 cells neuroinflammation response.Results: After exposure to TNFα, viability of BV-2 cells decreased whereas apoptosis index was increased. Of note, Yap expression in BV-2 cells was significantly reduced, when compared to the normal cells. Interestingly, adenovirus-induced Yap overexpression was capable to reverse cell viability and thus reduce apoptotic index in TNFα-treated BV-2 cells. Molecular investigation demonstrated that Yap overexpression was linked to Sirt3 upregulation. Increased Sirt3 reduced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, attenuated mitochondrial damage, and blocked JNK pro-apoptotic pathway. Interestingly, loss of Sirt3 abolished the protective effects induced by Yap overexpression in TNFα-treated BV-2 cells.Conclusions: Altogether, our results demonstrated that neuroinflammation could be caused by Yap downregulation, possible driven through Sirt3 inhibition and JNK activation. However, overexpression of Yap could protect BV-2 cells against TNFα-mediated apoptosis through modulating Sirt3-JNK signaling pathways.

Abstract
If the genome contains outlier sequences extraordinarily sensitive to environmental agents, these would be sentinels for monitoring personal carcinogen exposure and might drive direct changes in cell physiology rather than acting through rare mutations. New methods, adductSeq and freqSeq, provided statistical resolution to quantify rare lesions at single-base resolution across the genome. Primary human melanocytes, but not fibroblasts, carried spontaneous apurinic sites and TG sequence lesions more frequent than ultraviolet (UV)-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). UV exposure revealed hyperhotspots acquiring CPDs up to 170-fold more frequently than the genomic average; these sites were more prevalent in melanocytes. Hyperhotspots were disproportionately located near genes, particularly for RNA-binding proteins, with the most-recurrent hyperhotspots at a fixed position within 2 motifs. One motif occurs at ETS family transcription factor binding sites, known to be UV targets and now shown to be among the most sensitive in the genome, and at sites of mTOR/5' terminal oligopyrimidine-tract translation regulation. The second occurs at A2-15TTCTY, which developed "dark CPDs" long after UV exposure, repaired CPDs slowly, and had accumulated CPDs prior to the experiment. Motif locations active as hyperhotspots differed between cell types. Melanocyte CPD hyperhotspots aligned precisely with recurrent UV signature mutations in individual gene promoters of melanomas and with known cancer drivers. At sunburn levels of UV exposure, every cell would have a hyperhotspot CPD in each of the ∼20 targeted cell pathways, letting hyperhotspots act as epigenetic marks that create phenome instability; high prevalence favors cooccurring mutations, which would allow tumor evolution to use weak drivers.

Abstract
Oxidation of the guanine (G) heterocycle to 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG) in mammalian gene promoters was demonstrated to induce transcription. Potential G-quadruplex forming sequences (PQSs) in promoters have a high density of G nucleotides rendering them highly susceptible to oxidation and possible gene activation. The VEGF PQS with OG or an abasic site were synthesized at key locations in the SV40 or HSV-TK model promoters to determine the location dependency in the gene expression profile in human cells. The PQS location with respect to the transcription start site (TSS) and strand of occupancy (coding versus non-coding strand) are key parameters that determine the magnitude and direction in which gene expression changes with the chemically modified VEGF PQS. The greatest impact observed for OG or F in the PQS context in these promoters was within ∼200 bp of the TSS. Established PQSs found to occur naturally in a similar location relative to the TSS for possible oxidation-induced gene activation include c-MYC, KRAS, c-KIT, HIF-1α, PDGF-A and hTERT. The studies provide experimental constraints that were used to probe bioinformatic data regarding PQSs in the human genome for those that have the possibility to be redox switches for gene regulation.

Shining light on the response to repair intermediates in DNA of living cells. DNA Repair (Amst) 2019; 85:102749.

Abstract
Fluorescently-tagged repair proteins have been widely used to probe recruitment to micro-irradiation-induced nuclear DNA damage in living cells. Here, we quantify APE1 dynamics after micro-irradiation. Markers of DNA damage are characterized and UV-A laser micro-irradiation energy conditions are selected for formation of oxidatively-induced DNA base damage and single strand breaks, but without detectable double strand breaks. Increased energy of laser micro-irradiation, compared with that used previously in our work, enables study of APE1 dynamics at the lesion site. APE1 shows rapid transient kinetics, with recruitment half-time of less than 1 s and dissociation half-time of less than 15 s. In cells co-transfected with APE1 and PARP1, the recruitment half-time of PARP1 was slower than that of APE1, indicating APE1 is a rapid responder to the damage site. While recruitment of APE1 is unchanged in the presence of co-transfected PARP1, APE1 dissociation is 3-fold slower, revealing PARP1 involvement in APE1 dynamics. Further, we find that APE1 dissociation kinetics are strongly modified in the absence of DNA polymerase β (pol β). After unchanged recruitment to the damage site, dissociation of APE1 became undetectable. This indicates a necessary role for pol β in APE1 release after its recruitment to the damage site. These observations represent an advance in our understanding of in vivo dynamics of base excision repair factors APE1, PARP1 and pol β.

Abstract
Background The maintenance of genomic integrity is the responsibility of a complex network, denominated the DNA damage response (DDR), which controls the lesion detection and DNA repair. The main repair pathways are base excision repair (BER), nucleotide excision repair (NER), mismatch repair (MMR), homologous recombination repair (HR) and non-homologous end joining repair (NHEJ). They correct double-strand breaks (DSB), single-strand breaks, mismatches and others, or when the damage is quite extensive and repair insufficient, apoptosis is activated. Methods In this study we used the BLAST reciprocal best-hit methodology to search for DDR orthologs proteins in Aedes aegypti. We also provided a comparison between Ae. aegypti, D. melanogaster and human DDR network. Results Our analysis revealed the presence of ATR and ATM signaling, including the H2AX ortholog, in Ae. aegypti. Key DDR proteins (orthologs to RAD51, Ku and MRN complexes, XP-components, MutS and MutL) were also identified in this insect. Other proteins were not identified in both Ae. aegypti and D. melanogaster, including BRCA1 and its partners from BRCA1-A complex, TP53BP1, PALB2, POLk, CSA, CSB and POLβ. In humans, their absence affects DSB signaling, HR and sub-pathways of NER and BER. Seven orthologs not known in D. melanogaster were found in Ae. aegypti (RNF168, RIF1, WRN, RAD54B, RMI1, DNAPKcs, ARTEMIS). Conclusions The presence of key DDR proteins in Ae. aegypti suggests that the main DDR pathways are functional in this insect, and the identification of proteins not known in D. melanogaster can help fill gaps in the DDR network. The mapping of the DDR network in Ae. aegypti can support mosquito biology studies and inform genetic manipulation approaches applied to this vector.

Abstract
Context: Sirtuin-3 (Sirt3), a NAD-dependent deacetylase, has been reported to be involved in many biological processes.Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of Sirt3 on diabetic mice and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) under high glucose (HG) condition.Materials and methods: HUVECs were cultured under HG and inflammation pathway was determined via qPCR, western blots, and immunofluorescence.Results: Sirt3 expression was reduced in the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Overexpression of Sirt3 sustains renal function and retard the development of diabetic nephropathy. Mechanistically, Sirt3 overexpression attenuated hyperglycemia-mediated endothelial cells apoptosis in kidney. Besides, Sirt3 overexpression repressed oxidative injury and blocked caspase-9-related apoptosis pathway. Moreover, we found that Sirt3 overexpression was associated with AMPK activation and the latter elevates PGC1α-related mitochondrial protective system, especially mitochondrial autophagy. Loss of opa1 and/or inhibition of AMPK could depress mitochondrial autophagy and exacerbates mitochondrial function, finally contributing to the death of human renal mesangial cells.Conclusions: Our results demonstrated the beneficial effects of Sirt3 in the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Increased Sirt3-activated AMPK pathway, augments PGC1α-related mitochondrial protective system, sustained redox balance and closed caspase-9-involved apoptosis pathway in the setting of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
The oxidation of guanine to 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) is the most common type of oxidative DNA lesion. There is a growing body of evidence indicating that 8-oxoG is not only pre-mutagenic, but also plays an essential role in modulating gene expression along with its cognate repair proteins. In this study, we investigated the relationship between 8-oxoG formed under intrinsic oxidative stress conditions and gene expression in adipose and lung tissues of juvenile mice. We observed that transcriptional activity and the number of active genes were significantly correlated with the distribution of 8-oxoG in gene promoter regions, as determined by reverse-phase liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (RP-LC/MS), and 8-oxoG and RNA sequencing. Gene regulation by 8-oxoG was not associated with the degree of 8-oxoG formation. Instead, genes with GC-rich transcription factor binding sites in their promoters became more active with increasing 8-oxoG abundance as also demonstrated by specificity protein 1 (Sp1)- and estrogen response element (ERE)-luciferase assays in human embryonic kidney (HEK293T) cells. These results indicate that the occurrence of 8-oxoG in GC-rich Sp1 binding sites is important for gene regulation during adipose tissue development.

Abstract
8-Oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1)-initiated base excision repair pathway is primarily responsible for 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) removal from DNA. Recent studies, however, have shown that 8-oxoG in gene regulatory elements may serve as an epigenetic mark, and OGG1 has distinct functions in modulating gene expression. Genome-wide mapping of oxidative stress-induced OGG1 enrichment within introns was documented, but its significance has not yet been fully characterized. Here, we explored whether OGG1 recruited to intron 1 of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP1) gene and modulated its expression. Using chromatin and DNA:RNA hybrid immunoprecipitation assays, we report recruitment of OGG1 to the DNA:RNA hybrid in intron 1, where it increases nascent RNA but lowers mRNA levels in O3-exposed human airway epithelial cells and mouse lungs. Decrease in TIMP1 expression is alleviated by antioxidant administration, small interfering RNA depletion, or inhibition of OGG1 binding to its genomic substrate. In vitro studies revealed direct interaction between OGG1 and 8-oxoG containing DNA:RNA hybrid, without excision of its substrate. Inhibition of OGG1 binding to DNA:RNA hybrid translated into an increase in TIMP1 expression and a decrease in oxidant-induced lung inflammatory responses as well as airway remodeling. Data documented here reveal a novel molecular link between OGG1 at damaged sites and transcription dynamics that may contribute to oxidative stress-induced cellular and tissue responses.-Pan, L., Wang, H., Luo, J., Zeng, J., Pi, J., Liu, H., Liu, C., Ba, X., Qu, X., Xiang, Y., Boldogh, I., Qin, X.

Abstract
Context: Although bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been used for the treatment of oral and maxillofacial defects, the survival rate and limited proliferation reduces the therapeutic efficiency of BMSC.Objective: The aim of our study is to explore the role of miR-31 in regulating survival, proliferation, and migration of BMSC in vitro.Materials and methods: LPS was used in vitro to induce BMSC damage and then miR-31 was used to incubate with BMSC. Subsequently, BMSC proliferation, survival, and migration were determined via ELISA, qPCR, western blots, and immunofluorescence.Results: The expression of miR-31 was downregulated in response to LPS stress. Interestingly, supplementation of miR-31 could reverse the survival, proliferation and migration of BMSC under LPS. Mechanically, miR-31 treatment inhibited the activation of caspase, and thus promoted BMSC survival. Besides, miR-31 upregulated the genes related to cell proliferation, an effect that was followed by an increase in the levels of migratory factors. Further, we found that miR-31 treatment activated the CXCR4/Akt pathway and blockade of CXCR4/Akt could abolish the beneficial effects of miR-31 on BMSC proliferation, survival, and migration.Conclusions: miR-31 could increase the therapeutic efficiency of BMSC via the CXCR4/Akt pathway.

Abstract
Septic cardiomyopathy is associated with mitochondrial damage and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction. However, the upstream mediator of mitochondrial injury and ER stress has not been identified and thus little drug is available to treat septic cardiomyopathy. Here, we explored the role of B-cell receptor-associated protein 31 (BAP31) in septic cardiomyopathy and figure out whether melatonin could attenuate sepsis-mediated myocardial depression via modulating BAP31. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to establish the septic cardiomyopathy model. Pathway analysis was performed via western blot, quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunofluorescence. Mitochondrial function and ER stress were detected via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, western blot, and immunofluorescence. After exposure to LPS, cardiac function was reduced due to excessive inflammation response and extensive cardiomyocyte death. Mechanistically, melatonin treatment could dose-dependently improve cardiomyocyte viability via preserving mitochondrial function and reducing ER stress. Further, we found that BAP31 transcription was repressed by LPS whereas melatonin could restore BAP31 expression; this effect was dependent on the MAPK-ERK pathway. Inhibition of the ERK pathway and/or knockdown of BAP31 could attenuate the beneficial effects of melatonin on mitochondrial function and ER homeostasis under LPS stress. Altogether, our results indicate that ERK-BAP31 pathway could be used as a critical mediator for mitochondrial function and ER homeostasis in sepsis-related myocardial injury. Melatonin could stabilize BAP31 via the ERK pathway and thus contribute to the preservation of cardiac function in septic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Secondary injury due to oxidation may occur during ischemic stroke, possibly leading to oxidative damage to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Higher blood concentrations of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) (through the oxidation of guanosine from DNA) have been found in ischemic stroke patients than in healthy subjects, and in patients with versus without post-ischemic stroke depression. The present study was carried out to explore the possible association between serum DNA and RNA oxidative damage and mortality in patients with cerebral infarction. METHODS A prospective, multicenter observational study was carried out in the Intensive Care Units of 6 Spanish hospitals. We included patients with severe malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (MMCAI) defined as ischemic changes evidenced by computed tomography in more than 50% of the middle cerebral artery territory and a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS)<9. Serum concentrations of the three oxidized guanine species (OGS) (8-hydroxyguanine from DNA or RNA, 8-hydroxyguanosine from RNA, and 8-OHdG from DNA) on the day of MMCAI diagnosis were determined. The study endpoint was 30-day mortality. RESULTS We found higher serum OGS levels (p<0.001) in non-surviving (n=34) than in surviving patients (n=34). Logistic regression analyses showed serum OGS levels to be associated to 30-day mortality controlling for lactic acid, GCS and platelet count (OR=1.568; 95%CI=1.131-2.174; p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS The novel observation in this study is the association between global serum OGS concentration and mortality in ischemic stroke patients.

Abstract
Cardiac microvascular ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury has been a neglected topic in recent decades. In the current study, we investigated the mechanism underlying microvascular IR injury, with a focus on mitochondrial homeostasis. We also explored the protective role of tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) in microvascular protection in the context of IR injury. Through animal studies and cell experiments, we demonstrated that IR injury mediated microvascular wall destruction, lumen stenosis, perfusion defects, and cardiac microvascular endothelial cell (CMEC) apoptosis via inducing mitochondrial damage. In contrast, Tan IIA administration had the ability to sustain CMEC viability and microvascular homeostasis, finally attenuating microvascular IR injury. Function studies have confirmed that the SIRT1/PGC1α pathway is responsible for the microvascular protection from the Tan IIA treatment. SIRT1 activation by Tan IIA sustained the mitochondrial potential, alleviated the mitochondrial pro-apoptotic factor leakage, reduced the mPTP opening, and blocked mitochondrial apoptosis, providing a survival advantage for CMECs and preserving microvascular structure and function. By comparison, inhibiting SIRT1 abrogated the beneficial effects of Tan IIA on mitochondrial function, CMEC survival, and microvascular homeostasis. Collectively, this study indicated that Tan IIA should be considered a microvascular-protective drug that alleviates acute cardiac microcirculation IR injury via activating the SIRT1/PGC1α pathway and thereby blocking mitochondrial damage.

Therapeutic contribution of melatonin to the treatment of septic cardiomyopathy: A novel mechanism linking Ripk3-modified mitochondrial performance and endoplasmic reticulum function.

[PMID: 31386965 PMCID: PMC6692063 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2019.101287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 62] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2019] [Revised: 07/09/2019] [Accepted: 07/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The basic pathophysiological mechanisms underlying septic cardiomyopathy have not yet been completely clarified. Disease-specific treatments are lacking, and care is still based on supportive modalities. The aim of our study was to assess the protective effects of melatonin on septic cardiomyopathy, with a focus on the interactions between receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (Ripk3), the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cytoskeletal degradation in cardiomyocytes. Ripk3 expression was increased in heart samples challenged with LPS, followed by myocardial inflammation, cardiac dysfunction, myocardial breakdown and cardiomyocyte death. The melatonin treatment attenuated septic myocardial injury in a comparable manner to the genetic depletion of Ripk3. Molecular investigations revealed that Ripk3 intimately regulated mitochondrial function, ER stress, cytoskeletal homeostasis and cardioprotective signaling pathways. Melatonin-mediated inhibition of Ripk3 improved mitochondrial bioenergetics, reduced mitochondria-initiated oxidative damage, sustained mitochondrial dynamics, ameliorated ER stress, normalized calcium recycling, and activated cardioprotective signaling pathways (including AKT, ERK and AMPK) in cardiomyocytes. Interestingly, Ripk3 overexpression mediated resistance to melatonin therapy following the infection of LPS-treated hearts with an adenovirus expressing Ripk3. Altogether, our findings identify Ripk3 upregulation as a novel risk factor for the development of sepsis-related myocardial injury, and melatonin restores the physiological functions of the mitochondria, ER, contractile cytoskeleton and cardioprotective signaling pathways. Additionally, our data also reveal a new, potentially therapeutic mechanism by which melatonin protects the heart from sepsis-mediated dysfunction, possibly by targeting Ripk3.

Abstract
Cellular damage produced by conditions generating oxidative stress have far-reaching implications in human disease that encompass, but are not restricted to aging, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, airway inflammation/asthma, cancer, and metabolic syndrome including visceral obesity, insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and dyslipidemia. Although there are numerous sources and cellular targets of oxidative stress, this review will highlight literature that has investigated downstream consequences of oxidatively-induced DNA damage in both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. The presence of such damage can in turn, directly and indirectly modulate cellular transcriptional and repair responses to such stressors. As such, the persistence of base damage can serve as a key regulator in coordinated gene-response cascades. Conversely, repair of these DNA lesions serves as both a suppressor of mutagenesis and by inference carcinogenesis, and as a signal for the cessation of ongoing oxidative stress. A key enzyme in all these processes is 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1), which, via non-catalytic binding to oxidatively-induced DNA damage in promoter regions, serves as a nucleation site around which changes in large-scale regulation of inflammation-associated gene expression can occur. Further, the catalytic function of OGG1 can alter the three-dimensional structure of specialized DNA sequences, leading to changes in transcriptional profiles. This review will concentrate on adverse deleterious health effects that are associated with both the diminution of OGG1 activity via population-specific polymorphic variants and the complete loss of OGG1 in murine models. This mouse model displays diet- and age-related induction of metabolic syndrome, highlighting a key role for OGG1 in protecting against these phenotypes. Conversely, recent investigations using murine models having enhanced global expression of a mitochondrial-targeted OGG1 demonstrate that they are highly resistant to diet-induced disease. These data suggest strategies through which therapeutic interventions could be designed for reducing or limiting adverse human health consequences to these ubiquitous stressors.

Mechanism of stimulation of DNA binding of the transcription factors by human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1, APE1. DNA Repair (Amst) 2019; 82:102698.

Abstract
Aerobic respiration generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can damage nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. A number of transcription factors (TFs) contain redox-sensitive cysteine residues at their DNA-binding sites, hence ROS-induced thiol oxidation strongly inhibits their recognition of the cognate DNA sequences. Major human apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease 1 (APE1/APEX1/HAP-1), referred also as a redox factor 1 (Ref-1), stimulates the DNA binding activities of the oxidized TFs such as AP-1 and NF-κB. Also, APE1 participates in the base excision repair (BER) and nucleotide incision repair (NIR) pathways to remove oxidative DNA base damage. At present, the molecular mechanism underlying the TF-stimulating/redox function of APE1 and its biological role remains disputed. Here, we provide evidence that, instead of direct cysteine reduction in TFs by APE1, APE1-catalyzed NIR and TF-stimulating activities may be based on transient cooperative binding of APE1 to DNA and induction of conformational changes in the helix. The structure of DNA duplex strongly influences NIR and TF-stimulating activities. Homologous plant AP endonucleases lacking conserved cysteine residues stimulate DNA binding of the p50 subunit of NF-κB. APE1 acts synergistically with low-molecular-weight reducing agents on TFs. Finally, APE1 stimulates DNA binding of the redox-insensitive p50-C62S mutant protein. Electron microscopy imaging of APE1 complexes with DNA revealed preferential polymerization of APE1 on the gapped and intrinsically curved DNA duplexes. Molecular modeling offers a structural explanation how full-length APE1 can oligomerize on DNA. In conclusion, we propose that DNA-directed APE1 oligomerization can be regarded as a substitute for diffusion of APE1 along the DNA contour to probe for anisotropic flexibility. APE1 oligomers exacerbate pre-existing distortions in DNA and enable both NIR activity and DNA binding by TFs regardless of their oxidation state.

Abstract
Context: Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC)-based regenerative therapy is critical for the craniofacial defect reconstruction. However, oxidative stress micro-environment after transplantation limits the therapeutic efficiency of BMSC. The miR-181c has been found to be associated with cell survival and proliferation. Objective: Herein, we investigated whether prior miR-181c treatment promoted BMSC proliferation and survival under oxidative stress injury. Materials and methods: Cells were treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and then cell viability was determined via MTT assay, TUNEL staining and ELISA. Western blotting and immunofluorescence assay were used to detect those alterations of mitochondrial function. Results: H2O2 treatment reduced BMSC viability and this effect could be reversed via additional supplementation of miR181-c. Mechanistically, oxidative stress increased cell apoptosis, augmented caspase-3 activity, promoted reactive oxygen species (ROS) synthesis, impaired mitochondrial potential, and induced mitochondrial dynamics imbalance. However, miR-181c pretreatment reversed these effects of oxidative stress on BMSC. Moreover, miR-181c treatment improved BMSC proliferation, migration and paracrine, which are very important for craniofacial reconstruction. In addition, we identified that AMPK-Mfn1 axis was the direct targets of miR-181c in BMSC. Mfn1 silencing impaired the protective effects miR-181c on BMSC viability and proliferation under oxidative stress environment. Conclusions: Collectively, our results indicate that miR-181c participates in oxidative stress-mediated BMSC damage by modulating the AMPK-Mfn1 signaling pathway, suggesting miR-181c-AMPK-Mfn1 axis may serves as novel therapeutic targets to facilitate craniofacial defect reconstruction.

Abstract
PURPOSE DNA and RNA oxidative damage occurs during sepsis. Higher urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels (from oxidation of guanosine from DNA) have been found in non-surviving patients than in surviving septic patients. However, the relation between DNA and RNA oxidative damage and mortality in septic patients has never been published; thus, the objective of this study was to determine the existence of this association. METHODS This prospective and observational study including septic patients was conducted in 8 Spanish Intensive Care Units. Serum concentrations of the three oxidizied guanine species (OGS) (8-OHdG from DNA, 8-hydroxyguanosine from RNA, and 8-hydroxyguanine from DNA or RNA) were determined, and malondialdehyde (to estimate lipid peroxidation) in the diagnosis of sepsis. Mortality at 30 days was the end-point study. RESULTS Non-surviving patients (n = 78) compared to surviving patients (n = 139) showed higher serum concentrations of OGS (p = .004) and malondialdehyde (p < .001). Simultaneously, an association between serum OGS concentrations and mortality in logistic regression analysis was found (OR = 1.105; 95% CI = 1.024-1.193; p = .01), and a positive correlation between serum levels of OGS and malondialdehyde (rho = 0.21; p = .002). CONCLUSIONS The new findings from our study were that oxidative DNA and RNA damage in septic patients was associated with mortality and lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
Context: Yes-associated protein (Yap) has been linked to several cardiovascular disorders, but the role of this protein in septic cardiomyocytes is not fully understood. Objective: The aim of our study was to explore the influence of Yap in septic cardiomyopathy in vivo and in vitro. Materials and methods: In the current study, Yap transgenic mice and Yap adenovirus-mediated gain-of-function assays were used in an LPS-established septic cardiomyopathy model. Mitochondrial function and mitochondrial fission were determined through western blotting, immunofluorescence analysis and ELISA. Results: Our results demonstrated that Yap expression was downregulated by LPS, whereas Yap overexpression sustained cardiac function and attenuated cardiomyocyte death. The functional exploration revealed that LPS treatment induced cardiomyocyte mitochondrial stress, as manifested by mitochondrial superoxide overproduction, cardiomyocyte ATP deprivation, and caspase-9 apoptosis activation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that LPS-mediated mitochondrial damage was controlled by mitochondrial fission. However, Yap overexpression reduced mitochondrial fission and therefore improved mitochondrial function. A molecular investigation revealed that Yap overexpression inhibited mitochondrial fission by reversing ERK activity, and the inhibition of the ERK pathway promoted DRP1 upregulation and thereby mediated mitochondrial fission activation in the presence of Yap overexpression. Conclusions: Overall, our results suggest that the cause of septic cardiomyopathy appears to be connected with Yap downregulation. The overexpression of Yap can attenuate myocardial inflammation injury through the reduction of DRP1-related mitochondrial fission in an ERK pathway activation-dependent manner.

Abstract
There is an unmet need for new antimitotic drug combinations that target cancer-specific vulnerabilities. Based on our finding of elevated biomolecule oxidation in mitotically arrested cancer cells, we combined Plk1 inhibitors with TH588, an MTH1 inhibitor that prevents detoxification of oxidized nucleotide triphosphates. This combination showed robust synergistic killing of cancer, but not normal, cells that, surprisingly, was MTH1-independent. To dissect the underlying synergistic mechanism, we developed VISAGE, a strategy integrating experimental synergy quantification with computational-pathway-based gene expression analysis. VISAGE predicted, and we experimentally confirmed, that this synergistic combination treatment targeted the mitotic spindle. Specifically, TH588 binding to β-tubulin impaired microtubule assembly, which when combined with Plk1 blockade, synergistically disrupted mitotic chromosome positioning to the spindle midzone. These findings identify a cancer-specific mitotic vulnerability that is targetable using Plk1 inhibitors with microtubule-destabilizing agents and highlight the general utility of the VISAGE approach to elucidate molecular mechanisms of drug synergy.

Abstract
Inflammation has been increasingly studied as part of the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases. Mammalian Ste20-like kinase 1 (Mst1), a key factor of the Hippo pathway, is connected to cell death. Unfortunately, little study has been performed to detect the impact of Mst1 in neuroninflammation. The results indicated that Mst1 expression was upregulated because of LPS treatment. However, the loss of Mst1 sustained BV-2 cell viability and promoted cell survival in the presence of LPS treatment. Molecular investigation assay demonstrated that Mst1 deletion was followed by a drop in the levels of mitochondrial fission via repressing Drp1 expression. However, Drp1 adenovirus transfection reduced the protective impacts of Mst1 knockdown on mitochondrial stress and neuronal dysfunction. Finally, our results illuminated that Mst1 affected Drp1 content and mitochondrial fission in a JNK-dependent mechanism. Reactivation of the JNK axis inhibited Mst1 knockdown-mediated neuronal protection and mitochondrial homeostasis. Altogether, our results indicated that Mst1 upregulation and the activation of JNK-Drp1-mitochondrial fission pathway could be considered as the novel mechanism regulating the progression of neuroninflammation. This finding would pave a new road for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases via modulating the Mst1-JNK-Drp1-mitochondrial fission axis.

Abstract
Mammalian Ste20-like kinase 1 (Mst1) is associated with cell apoptosis. In the current study, we explored the regulatory effects of Mst1 on squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) in vitro. SCCHN Cal27 cells and Tu686 cells were transfected with adenovirus-loaded Mst1 to detect the role of Mst1 in cell viability. Then, siRNA against Drp1 was transfected into cells to evaluate the influence of mitochondrial fission in cancer survival. Our data illustrated that Mst1 overexpression promoted SCCHN Cal27 cell and Tu686 cell death via activating mitochondria-related apoptosis. Cells transfected with adenovirus-loaded Mst1 have increased expression of DRP1 and higher DRP1 promoted mitochondrial fission. Active mitochondrial fission mediated mitochondrial damage, as evidenced by increased mitochondrial oxidative stress, decreased mitochondrial energy production, and reduced mitochondrial respiratory complex function. Moreover, Mst1 overexpression triggered mitochondria-dependent cell apoptosis via DRP1-related mitochondrial fission. Further, we found that Mst1 overexpression controlled mitochondrial fission via the β-catenin/DRP1 pathways; inhibition of β-catenin and/or knockdown of DRP1 abolished the pro-apoptotic effects of Mst1 overexpression on SCCHN Cal27 cells and Tu686 cells, leading to the survival of cancer cells in vitro. In sum, our results illustrate that Mst1/β-catenin/DRP1 axis affects SCCHN Cal27 cell and Tu686 cell viability via controlling mitochondrial dynamics balance. This finding identifies Mst1 activation might be an effective therapeutic target for the treatment of SCCHN.

Inhibitory effect of melatonin on Mst1 ameliorates myocarditis through attenuating ER stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. J Mol Histol 2019; 50:405-415. [PMID: 31256303 DOI: 10.1007/s10735-019-09836-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2019] [Accepted: 06/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Viral myocarditis has been found to be one of the leading causes of sudden death in young adults. However, no effective drugs have been developed to intervene the progression of myocarditis. Accordingly, the present study is carried out to explore the protective role played by melatonin in the setting of viral myocarditis with a focus on Mst1-Hippo pathway, mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress. Cardiac function was determined via echocardiographic examination. Mitochondrial function and ER stress were detected via ELISA, western blots, and immunofluorescence. Our data demonstrated that virus injection induced cardiac dysfunction as evidenced by reduced contractile function in myocardium. Besides, LDH release assay and western blotting analysis demonstrated that cardiomyocyte death was activated by virus injection. Interestingly, melatonin treatment improved cardiac function and repressed virus-mediated cardiomyocyte apoptosis. At the molecular levels, mitochondrial dysfunction was induced by virus infection, as indicated by mitochondrial membrane potential reduction, mPTP opening rate elevation and caspase-9-related apoptosis activation. Besides, ER stress parameters were also elevated in virus-treated cardiomyocytes. Interestingly, melatonin treatment maintained mitochondrial dysfunction and repressed ER stress. To the end, we found that Mst1 was upregulated by virus infection; this effect was attenuated through supplementation with melatonin. However, Mst1 overexpression reduced the beneficial impact exerted by melatonin on cardiomyocyte viability, mitochondrial function and ER homeostasis. Our study illustrated that melatonin treatment attenuated viral myocarditis via sustaining cardiomyocyte viability, repressing mitochondrial dysfunction and inhibiting ER stress in a manner dependent on Mst1 inhibition.

Abstract
Cardiomyocyte function and viability are highly modulated by mammalian Ste20-like kinase 1 (Mst1)-Hippo pathway and mitochondria. Mitophagy, a kind of mitochondrial autophagy, is a protective program to attenuate mitochondrial damage. However, the relationship between Mst1 and mitophagy in septic cardiomyopathy has not been explored. In the present study, Mst1 knockout mice were used in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic cardiomyopathy model. Mitophagy activity was measured via immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Pathway blocker and small interfering RNA were used to perform the loss-of-function assay. The results demonstrated that Mst1 was rapidly increased in response to LPS stress. Knockout of Mst1 attenuated LPS-mediated inflammation damage, reduced cardiomyocyte death, and improved cardiac function. At the molecular levels, LPS treatment activated mitochondrial damage, such as mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction, mitochondrial potential reduction, mitochondrial ATP depletion, and caspase family activation. Interestingly, in response to mitochondrial damage, Mst1 deletion activated mitophagy which attenuated LPS-mediated mitochondrial damage. However, inhibition of mitophagy via inhibiting parkin mitophagy abolished the protective influences of Mst1 deletion on mitochondrial homeostasis and cardiomyocyte viability. Overall, our results demonstrated that septic cardiomyopathy is linked to Mst1 upregulation which is followed by a drop in the protective mitophagy.

Abstract
Neuronal death caused by inflammatory cytokine-mediated neuroinflammation is being extensively explored. Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) 2 is a novel mediator of inflammation response. In the current study, we focus on the mechanisms of TrxR2 overexpression in inflammation-mediated neuronal death. LPS was used to induce neuroinflammation in N2a cells in vitro. Adenovirus-loaded TrxR2 was transfected into N2a cells to up-regulate TrxR2 expression. Then, cell viability was determined via MTT assay and TUNEL assay. Apoptosis was measured via western blotting and ELISA. Oxidative stress was detected via ELISA and flow cytometry. A pathway inhibitor was used to verify the role of the Akt-Parkin pathway in the LPS-mediated N2a cell death in the presence of TrxR2 overexpression. With the help of immunofluorescence assay and western blotting, we found that TrxR2 expression was significantly reduced in response to LPS treatment, and this effect was associated with N2a cell death via apoptosis. At the molecular level, TrxR2 overexpression elevated the activity of the Akt-Parkin pathway, as evidenced by the increased expression of p-Akt and Parkin. Interestingly, inhibition of the Akt-Parkin pathway abolished the regulatory effect of TrxR2 on LPS-treated N2a cells, as evidenced by the decreased cell viability and increased apoptotic ratio. Besides, TrxR2 overexpression also reduced oxidative stress, inflammation factor transcription and mitochondrial apoptosis. However, inhibition of Akt-Parkin axis abrogated the protective effects of TrxR2 on redox balance, mitochondrial performance and cell survival. LPS-mediated neuronal death was linked to a drop in TrxR2 overexpression and the inactivation of the Akt-Parkin pathway. Overexpression of TrxR2 sustained mitochondrial function, inhibited oxidative stress, repressed inflammation response, and blocked mitochondrial apoptosis, finally sending a pro-survival signal for the N2a cells in the setting of LPS-mediated inflammation environment.

Sirt3 modulate renal ischemia-reperfusion injury through enhancing mitochondrial fusion and activating the ERK-OPA1 signaling pathway. J Cell Physiol 2019; 234:23495-23506.

Abstract
Mitochondrial fusion is linked to heart and liver ischemia-reperfusion (IR) insult. Unfortunately, there is no report to elucidate the detailed influence of mitochondrial fusion in renal IR injury. This study principally investigated the mechanism by which mitochondrial fusion protected kidney against IR injury. Our results indicated that sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) was inhibited after renal IR injury in vivo and in vitro. Overexpression of Sirt3 improved kidney function, modulated oxidative injury, repressed inflammatory damage, and reduced tubular epithelial cell apoptosis. The molecular investigation found that Sirt3 overexpression attenuated IR-induced mitochondrial damage in renal tubular epithelial cells, as evidenced by decreased reactive oxygen species production, increased antioxidants sustained mitochondrial membrane potential, and inactivated mitochondria-initiated death signaling. In addition, our information also illuminated that Sirt3 maintained mitochondrial homeostasis against IR injury by enhancing optic atrophy 1 (OPA1)-triggered fusion of mitochondrion. Inhibition of OPA1-induced fusion repressed Sirt3 overexpression-induced kidney protection, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction. Further, our study illustrated that OPA1-induced fusion could be affected through ERK; inhibition of ERK abolished the regulatory impacts of Sirt3 on OPA1 expression and mitochondrial fusion, leading to mitochondrial damage and tubular epithelial cell apoptosis. Altogether, our results suggest that renal IR injury is closely associated with Sirt3 downregulation and mitochondrial fusion inhibition. Regaining Sirt3 and/or activating mitochondrial fission by modifying the ERK-OPA1 cascade may represent new therapeutic modalities for renal IR injury.

Abstract
Nasal epithelium inflammation plays an important role in transmitting and amplifying damage signals for the lower airway. However, the molecular basis of nasal epithelium inflammation damage has not been fully addressed. Mst1 is reported to modulate inflammation via multiple effects. Thus, the aim of our study is to understand the pathological mechanism underlying Mst1-related nasal epithelium inflammation in vitro. Our result indicated that Mst1 expression was rapidly increased in response to tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) treatment in vitro and this effect was a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, knockdown of Mst1 via transfecting small interfering RNA markedly reversed cell viability in the presence of TNF-α. Further, we found that Mst1 deficiency reduced cellular oxidative stress and attenuated mitochondrial dysfunction, as evidenced by reversed mitochondrial complex-I activity, decreased mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening rate, and stabilized mitochondrial membrane potential. Besides, we found that Nrf2 expression was increased after deletion of Mst1 whereas silencing of Nrf2 abolished the protective effects of Mst1 deletion on nasal epithelium survival and mitochondrial homeostasis. Moreover, Nrf2 overexpression also protected nasal epithelium against TNF-α-induced inflammation damage. Altogether, our data confirm that the Mst1 activation and Nrf2 downregulation seem to be the potential mechanisms responsible for the inflammation-mediated injury in nasal epithelium via mediating mitochondrial damage and cell oxidative stress.
