Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the largest tubular reticular organelle spanning the cell. As the main site of protein synthesis, Ca2+ homeostasis maintenance and lipid metabolism, the ER plays a variety of essential roles in eukaryotic cells, with ER molecular chaperones participate in all these processes. In recent years, it has been reported that the abnormal expression of ER chaperones often leads to a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including abnormal neuronal migration, neuronal morphogenesis, and synaptic function. Neuronal development is a complex and precisely regulated process. Currently, the mechanism by which neural development is regulated at the ER level remains under investigation. Therefore, in this work, we reviewed the recent advances in the roles of ER chaperones in neural development and developmental disorders caused by the deficiency of these molecular chaperones.

HSP90 mediates the connection of multiple programmed cell death in diseases. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:929. [PMID: 36335088 PMCID: PMC9637177 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-022-05373-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
Heat shock protein (HSP) 90, an important component of the molecular chaperone network, is closely concerned with cellular signaling pathways and stress response by participating in the process of maturation and activation of client proteins, playing a crucial role both in the normal and abnormal operation of the organism. In functionally defective tissues, programmed cell death (PCD) is one of the regulable fundamental mechanisms mediated by HSP90, including apoptosis, autophagy, necroptosis, ferroptosis, and others. Here, we show the complex relationship between HSP90 and different types of PCD in various diseases, and discuss the possibility of HSP90 as the common regulatory nodal in multiple PCD, which would provide a new perspective for the therapeutic approaches in disease.

Abstract
The 94 kDa molecular chaperone, glucose-regulated protein 94 (Grp94), has garnered interest during the last decade due to its direct association with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and disease. Grp94 belongs to the Hsp90 family of molecular chaperones and is a master regulator of ER homeostasis due to its ability to fold and stabilize proteins/receptors, and to chaperone misfolded proteins for degradation. Multiple studies have demonstrated that Grp94 knockdown or inhibition leads to the degradation of client protein substrates, which leads to disruption of disease-dependent signaling pathways. As a result, small molecule inhibitors of Grp94 have become a promising therapeutic approach to target a variety of disease states. Specifically, Grp94 has proven to be a promising target for cancer, glaucoma, immune-mediated inflammation, and viral infection. Moreover, Grp94-peptide complexes have been utilized effectively as adjuvants for vaccines against a variety of disease states. This work highlights the significance of Grp94 biology and the development of therapeutics that target this molecular chaperone in multiple disease states.

Abstract
Protozoan parasites are responsible for several harmful and widespread human diseases that cause high morbidity and mortality. Currently available treatments have serious limitations due to poor efficiency, strong adverse effects, and high cost. Hence, the identification of new targets and the development of specific drug therapies against parasitic diseases are urgent needs. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone that plays a key role in parasite survival during the various differentiation stages, spread over the vector insect and the human host, which they undergo during their life cycle. The N-terminal domain (NTD) of HSP90, containing the main determinants for ATPase activity, represents the most druggable domain for inhibitor targeting. The molecules investigated on parasite HSP90 are mainly developed from known inhibitors of the human counterpart, and they have strong limitations due to selectivity issues, accounting for the high conservation of the ATP-binding site between the parasite and human proteins. The current review highlights the recent structural progress made to support the rational design of new molecules able to effectively block the chaperone activity of parasite HSP90.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone playing a significant role in the folding of client proteins. This cellular protein is linked to the progression of several cancer types, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Several oncogenic kinases are Hsp90 clients and their activity depends on this molecular chaperone. This makes HSP90 a prominent therapeutic target for cancer treatment. Studies have confirmed the inhibition of HSP90 as a striking therapeutic treatment for cancer management. In this study, we have utilized machine learning and different in silico approaches to screen the KCB database to identify the potential HSP90 inhibitors. Further evaluation of these inhibitors on various cancer cell lines showed favorable inhibitory activity. These inhibitors could serve as a basis for future development of effective HSP90 inhibitors.

Effect of Low-Frequency Electrical Stimulation Combined with Tonifying Kidney and Blood Pills on Uterine Rejuvenation after Abortion. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:9976063. [PMID: 36299775 PMCID: PMC9592218 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9976063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to observe the clinical efficacy of low-frequency electrical stimulation therapy combined with tonifying the kidney and activating blood pills to promote uterine recovery after abortion and its effect on heat-shock protein (HSP)70 and HSP90. Methods All cases were women with early pregnancy who underwent an abortion at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from September 2019 to September 2020. They were divided into two groups in accordance with the principle of patient voluntariness: 237 cases in the experimental group and 143 cases in the control group. Patients in both groups were given low-frequency electrical stimulation after surgery. In addition, patients in the experimental group began to take the Dingkun pill orally (one pill per time, two times per day) from the first day of surgery and continued to take it until their menstruation returned to normal. Abdominal pain, the duration of vaginal bleeding, and the amount of bleeding were observed in both groups. Uterine size, endometrial thickness, and urinary human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) status were also observed at 2 weeks postoperatively to determine preoperative and postoperative HSP70 and HSP90 serum levels. The time of menstrual resumption, menstrual period, and menstrual volume were observed and compared with preoperative menstruation. The occurrence of complications, such as a residual uterine cavity, uterine effusion, menstrual irregularities, and reproductive tract infections, during the follow-up period was also recorded in both groups. Results Comparison of the endometrial thickness (mm) and uterine size (sum of the three diameters) on uterine adnexal ultrasound at 2-week postoperative review was better in the experimental group than in the control group (p < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of residual uterine cavity and blood accumulation in the uterine cavity and the results of the urine pregnancy test (p > 0.05). Serum HSP70 and HSP90 levels were significantly higher in the control group than in the experimental group 2 weeks after surgery (p < 0.05). Postoperative HSP70 and HSP90 levels were significantly higher than preoperative levels in both groups (p < 0.05). The degree of postoperative abdominal pain in the experimental group was less severe than that in the control group, and the duration was shorter (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed when comparing the duration of postoperative vaginal bleeding and the amount of bleeding (p > 0.05). The time of the first menstrual resumption and menstrual volume were more satisfactory in the experimental group than in the control group (p < 0.05). No adverse reactions occurred in either group of patients receiving treatment. Conclusion Low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with tonifying the kidney and invigorating blood pills could effectively promote uterine rejuvenation after abortion, conducive to improving patients' postoperative abdominal pain, promoting menstrual recovery and maintaining menstrual flow.

Abstract
Heat tolerance and exertional heat stroke (EHS) are rare health conditions that have been described and characterised but have never been genetically solved. Knowledge of the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in heat shock proteins (HSPs) genes and their associations with heat tolerance and EHS is limited. This pilot study aimed to identify SNP in HSPA1B, HSP90AA2 and DNAJA1 genes and their associations with heat tolerance and EHS history in a quasi-experimental design. Participants comprised Australian Defence Force members (ADF) who had a history of EHS and the general population. Genomic DNA samples were extracted from the venous blood samples of 48 participants, sequenced and analysed for SNP. Forty-four per cent (44%) of the participants were heat intolerant, and 29% had a history of EHS. Among participants with a history of EHS, there was an association between heat tolerance and HSPA1B SNP at the g.31829044 locus. However, there were no associations between HSPA1B and HSP90AA2 SNP and heat tolerance. All participants had the same distribution for the DNAJA1 SNP. In conclusion, the findings indicate an association between the HSPA1B genetic variant at the g.31829044 locus and heat tolerance among ADF participants with a history of EHS. Further research with a larger number of military participants will shed more light on the associations between HSP genes and heat tolerance.

Abstract
With the continuous development of nanobiotechnology in recent years, combining photothermal materials with nanotechnology for tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) has drawn many attentions nanomedicine research. Although nanomaterial-mediated PTT is more specific and targeted than traditional treatment modalities, hyperthermia can also damage normal cells. Therefore, researchers have proposed the concept of low-temperature PTT, in which the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) is inhibited. In this article, the research strategies proposed in recent years based on the inhibition of HSPs expression to achieve low-temperature PTT was reviewed. Folowing this, the synthesis, properties, and applications of these nanomaterials were introduced. In addition, we also summarized the problems of nanomaterial-mediated low-temperature PTT at this stage and provided an outlook on future research directions.

Abstract
HSP90 is a major molecular chaperone that helps both folding and stabilization of various client proteins often implicated in growth control and cell survival such as kinases and transcription factors. However, among HSP90 clients are also found numerous oncoproteins and, through its assistance to them, HSP90 has consequently been reported as a promising anticancer target. Several ligand chemotypes, including resorcinol type ligands, were found to inhibit HSP90, most of them in an ATP competitive manner. Binding of some of these ligands modify significantly the NMR spectrum of the HSP90 ATP binding domain compared to the apo protein spectrum, hampering assignment transfer from the previously assigned human HSP90 apo state. Here we report the assignment of the 1HN, 15N, 13C', 13Cα, 13Cβ, 1Hmethyl, and 13Cmethyl chemical shifts of the 29 kDa HSP90 N-terminal domain bound to a long residence time resorcinol type inhibitor: 5-[4-(2-Fluoro-phenyl)-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl]-N-furan-2-ylmethyl-2,4-dihydroxy-N-methyl-benzamide. 92% of the backbone resonances and 100% of the [1H, 13C]-resonances of Aβ, Mε, Tγ, Lδ2, Vγ2 and Iδ1 methyl groups were successfully assigned, including for the first time the assignment of the segment covering the nucleotide/drug binding site. Secondary structure predictions based on the NMR assignment reveal a structural rearrangement of HSP90 N-terminal domain upon ligand binding. The long residence time ligand induces the formation of a continuous helix covering the ligand binding site of HSP90 N-terminal domain accounting for the large differences observed in the NMR spectra between the apo and bound proteins.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequent cancer that affects aging men worldwide. However, its exact pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. The heat shock protein (HSP) family has cell-protective properties that may promote tumor growth and protect cancer cells from death. On a cellular level, HSP molecules have a strong relationship with multiple important biological processes, such as cell differentiation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and fibrosis. Because of the facilitation of HSP family molecules on tumorigenesis, a number of agents and inhibitors are being developed with potent antitumor effects whose target site is the critical structure of HSP molecules. Among all target molecules, HSP70 family and HSP90 are two groups that have been well studied, and therefore, the development of their inhibitors makes great progress. Only a small number of agents, however, have been clinically tested in recruited patients. As a result, more clinical studies are warranted for the establishment of the relationship between the HSP70 family, alongside the HSP90 molecule, and prostate cancer treatment.

Abstract
African trypanosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by Trypanosoma brucei (T. brucei) and spread by the tsetse fly in sub-Saharan Africa. The trypanosome relies on heat shock proteins for survival in the insect vector and mammalian host. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) plays a crucial role in the stress response at the cellular level. Inhibition of its interactions with chaperones and co-chaperones is being explored as a potential therapeutic target for numerous diseases. This study provides an in silico overview of HSP90 and its co-chaperones in both T. brucei brucei and T. brucei gambiense in relation to human and other trypanosomal species, including non-parasitic Bodo saltans and the insect infecting Crithidia fasciculata. A structural analysis of T. brucei HSP90 revealed differences in the orientation of the linker and C-terminal domain in comparison to human HSP90. Phylogenetic analysis displayed the T. brucei HSP90 proteins clustering into three distinct groups based on subcellular localizations, namely, cytosol, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. Syntenic analysis of cytosolic HSP90 genes revealed that T. b. brucei encoded for 10 tandem copies, while T. b. gambiense encoded for three tandem copies; Leishmania major (L. major) had the highest gene copy number with 17 tandem copies. The updated information on HSP90 from recently published proteomics on T. brucei was examined for different life cycle stages and subcellular localizations. The results show a difference between T. b. brucei and T. b. gambiense with T. b. brucei encoding a total of twelve putative HSP90 genes, while T. b. gambiense encodes five HSP90 genes. Eighteen putative co-chaperones were identified with one notable absence being cell division cycle 37 (Cdc37). These results provide an updated framework on approaching HSP90 and its interactions as drug targets in the African trypanosome.

Heat Shock Protein 90 Regulates the Activity of Histone Deacetylase Sir2 in Plasmodium falciparum. mSphere 2022; 7:e0032922.

Abstract
Sir2 protein of Plasmodium falciparum has been implicated to play crucial roles in the silencing of subtelomeric var genes and rRNA. It is also involved in telomere length maintenance. Epigenetic regulation of PfSIR2 transcription occurs through a direct participation of the molecular chaperon PfHsp90, wherein PfHsp90 acts as a transcriptional repressor. However, whether the chaperonic activity of PfHsp90 is essential for the maturation and stability of PfSir2A protein has not yet been explored. Here, we show that PfSir2A protein is a direct client of PfHsp90. We demonstrate that PfHsp90 physically interacts with PfSir2A, and the inhibition of PfHsp90 activity via chemical inhibitors, such as 17-AAG or Radicicol, results in the depletion of PfSir2A protein, and consequently its histone deacetylase activity. Thus, derepression of var genes and ribosomal silencing were observed under PfHsp90 inactivation. This finding that PfHsp90 provides stability to PfSir2A protein, in addition to the previous finding that PfHsp90 downregulates PfSIR2A transcription and subsequently cellular abundance, uncovers the multifaceted roles of PfHsp90 in regulating PfSir2 abundance and activity. Given the importance of PfSir2 protein in Plasmodium biology, it is reasonable to propose that the PfHsp90-PfSir2 axis can be exploited as a novel druggable target. IMPORTANCE Malaria continues to severely impact the global public health not only due to the mortality and morbidity associated with it, but also because of the huge burden on the world economy it imparts. Despite the intensive vaccine-research and drug-development programs, there is not a single effective vaccine suitable for all age groups, and there is no drug on the market against which resistance is not developed. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop novel intervention strategies by identifying the crucial targets from Plasmodium biology. Here, we uncover that the molecular chaperone PfHsp90 regulates the abundance and activity of the histone-deacetylase PfSir2, a prominent regulator of Plasmodium epigenome. Given that PfSir2 controls both virulence and multiplicity of the parasite, and that PfHsp90 is an essential chaperone involved in diverse cellular processes, our findings argue that the PfHsp90-PfSir2 axis could be targeted to curb malaria.

Abstract
Human-adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSCs) are adult stem cells and are relatively easy to access compared to other sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). They have shown immunomodulation properties as well as effects in improving tissue regeneration. To better stimulate and preserve the therapeutic properties of hADMSCs, biomaterials for cell delivery have been studied extensively. To date, hyaluronic acid (HA)-based materials have been most widely adopted by researchers around the world. PGmatrix is a new peptide-based hydrogel that has shown superior functional properties in 3D cell cultures. Here, we reported the in vitro and in vivo functional effects of PGmatrix on hADMSCs in comparison with HA and HA-based Hystem hydrogels. Our results showed that PGmatrix was far superior in maintaining hADMSC viability during prolonged incubation and stimulated expression of SSEA4 (stage-specific embryonic antigen-4) in hADMSCs. hADMSCs encapsulated in PGmatrix secreted more immune-responsive proteins than those in HA or Hystem, though similar VEGF-A and TGFβ1 release levels were observed in all three hydrogels. In vivo studies revealed that hADMSCs encapsulated with PGmatrix showed improved skin wound healing in diabetic-induced mice at an early stage, suggesting possible anti-inflammatory effects, though similar re-epithelialization and collagen density were observed among PGmatrix and HA or Hystem hydrogels by day 21.

Abstract
Chaperonin containing TCP1 (CCT/TRiC) is a multi-subunit protein folding complex that enables the cancer phenotype to emerge from the mutational landscape that drives oncogenesis. We and others linked increased expression of CCT subunits to advanced tumor stage and invasiveness that inversely correlates with cancer patient outcomes. In this study, we examined the expression of the second CCT subunit, CCT2, using genomic databases of adult and pediatric tumors and normal tissues, and found that it was highly expressed in pediatric cancers, showing a significant difference compared to normal tissues. Histologic staining confirmed that CCT subunits are highly expressed in tumor tissues, which was exemplified in neuroblastoma. Using two neuroblastoma cells, MYCN-amplified, IMR-32 cells, and non-amplified, SK-N-AS cells, we assessed baseline levels for CCT subunits and found expressions comparable to the highly invasive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line, MDA-MB-231. Exogenous expression of CCT2 in both SK-N-AS and IMR-32 cells resulted in morphological changes, such as larger cell size and increased adherence, with significant increases in the CCT substrates, actin, and tubulin, as well as increased migration. Depletion of CCT2 reversed these effects and reduced cell viability. We evaluated CCT as a therapeutic target in IMR-32 cells by testing a novel peptide CCT inhibitor, CT20p. Treatment with CT20p induced cell death in these neuroblastoma cells. The use of CCT2 as a biological indicator for detection of neuroblastoma cells shed in blood was examined by spiking IMR-32 cells into human blood and using an anti-CCT2 antibody for the identification of spiked cancer cells with the CellSearch system. Results showed that using CCT2 for the detection of neuroblastoma cells in blood was more effective than the conventional approach of using epithelial markers like cytokeratins. CCT2 plays an essential role in promoting the invasive capacity of neuroblastoma cells and thus offers the potential to act as a molecular target in the development of novel therapeutics and diagnostics for pediatric cancers.

Abstract
Summary
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is critical for cell homeostasis but its role on bovine oocyte maturation is not well known. We investigated the importance of Hsp90 for competence of bovine oocyte using 17-(allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17AAG), an inhibitor of Hsp90, during in vitro maturation (IVM). Three experiments evaluated the effect of 17AAG on developmental competence of oocytes matured in vitro under thermoneutral (38.5ºC) or heat shock (HS; 41.5ºC) temperatures. The first experiment found that the blastocyst rates were lower (P < 0.05) with 2 µM 17AAG compared with the untreated control (0 µM). The abundance of HSF1 transcripts was higher in oocytes matured with 2 µM than with 0 and 1 µM 17AAG, whereas the abundance of HSP90AA1 and HSPA1A transcripts was lower (P < 0.05) with 1 and 2 µM than with 0 µM. The second experiment found that 2 µM 17AAG for 12 or 24 h during IVM decreased (P < 0.05) the blastocysts rates. In the third experiment, the association of 2 μM 17AAG with HS for 12 h during IVM resulted in lower (P < 0.05) blastocysts rates than 17AAG, HS or untreated control. In conclusion, inhibition of Hsp90 during in vitro maturation compromises further embryo development; the association of Hsp90 inhibition with HS aggravates the deleterious effect of both on oocyte developmental competence.

Abstract
Gastric cancer was classified as the third most deadly cancer among all other cancer types. The HSP90 and HER2 genes play essential roles in the stability and function of high-expression proteins that cause malignancy. The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of the alcoholic Alkanna bracteosa extract on the expression of HSP90α and HER2 genes in AGS cell line. Therefore, the methanolic extraction was isolated from aerial parts of the plant and AGS and HuGu cell lines were analyzed using 102.4–0.05 mg ml−1 dose concentrations in serial dilution; to measure the cell toxicity by MTT assay. Furthermore, real-time PCR analysis measured the expression level of HSP90α and HER2 genes using the IC50 dose concentrations. Quantification of apoptosis was analyzed by Annexin/PI kit in flow cytometry and DNA fragmentation tests. The results of MTT assay represented the IC50 dose concentration of 0.8 and 3.2 mg ml−1 for AGS and HuGu respectively. The rate of HER2 gene expression was significantly decreased in AGS cells treated with 0.8 mg ml−1 dose concentration compared to control. The exposure of AGS treated cells with 0.8 mg ml−1 dose concentration after 24 h represented 24.3% apoptosis and 13.3% necrosis. The agarose gel represented the DNA fragmentation pattern of apoptosis. This study demonstrated the significant differences between the cell viability rate, gene expression level, and apoptosis of the Alkanna bracteosa extract on AGS cells. These results demonstrated the first report of which the Alkanna braceteosa would be an effective candidate for possible treatment of Gastric cancer.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90α (HSP90α) encoded by the HSP90AA1 gene, is the stress inducible isoform of the molecular chaperone HSP90, and was demonstrated as a promising hallmark to diagnose, prognosis in malignant tumors. This study is to evaluate the value of HSP90α in diagnosis, prognosis and immunotherapy of malignant tumors by investigating the expression of HSP90α in plasma of various tumors and analyzing the expression of HSP90α at gene and protein levels via pan-cancer database. We founded that levels of HSP90α in malignant tumors groups were significantly higher than healthy controls in serum. Pan-cancer analysis showed that HSP90AA1 was highly expressed in 27 of 33 tumors, but low in individual cancers (such as renal malignancies). The plasma HSP90α level was positively correlated with the stage of malignant tumor, but there was no significant difference between HSP90AA1 and the stage of most tumors. Cox regression analysis showed that HSP90AA1 expression was significantly correlated with OS in only 6 of the 32 cancers, including LIHC, KIRC, HNSC, LUAD, BRCA and MESO. Up-regulation of HSP90AA1 in most tumors was positively correlated with PDCD1LG2 and CD274 immune checkpoint genes. T cell CD8+ was positively correlated with HSP90AA1 in COAD, DLBC and UVM, and negatively correlated with HSP90AA1 in ESCA, GBM, HNSC, KIRC, KIRP, UCEC and STAD. The AUC of HSP90α are generally high in different tumor groups, which indicated its diagnostic value in malignant tumors. In conclusion, serum HSP90α in patients with malignant tumor is generally elevated, which is of positive significance as an independent diagnosis and combined diagnosis. However, we found that the expression level of HSP90AA1 gene in most tumors was not completely consistent with the serum level, and even down-regulated in some tumors. Plasma levels can be used as biomarkers of poor prognosis in some tumors, but it cannot be used as a biomarker for poor prognosis of all tumors, and more in-depth studies are needed.

Abstract
Heat shock protein (HSP90), a highly conserved molecular chaperon, is indispensable for the maturation of newly synthesized poly-peptides and provides a shelter for the turnover of misfolded or denatured proteins. In cancers, the client proteins of HSP90 extend to the entire process of oncogenesis that are associated with all hallmarks of cancer. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the client proteins are guided for proteasomal degradation when their complexes with HSP90 are disrupted. Accordingly, HSP90 and its co-chaperones have emerged as viable targets for the development of cancer therapeutics. Consequently, a number of natural products and their analogs targeting HSP90 have been identified. They have shown a strong inhibitory effect on various cancer types through different mechanisms. The inhibitors act by directly binding to either HSP90 or its co-chaperones/client proteins. Several HSP90 inhibitors—such as geldanamycin and its derivatives, gamitrinib and shepherdin—are under clinical evaluation with promising results. Here, we review the subcellular localization of HSP90, its corresponding mechanism of action in the malignant phenotypes, and the recent progress on the development of HSP90 inhibitors. Hopefully, this comprehensive review will shed light on the translational potential of HSP90 inhibitors as novel cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
The heat shock proteins (HSPs) are ubiquitous and conserved protein families in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, and they maintain cellular proteostasis and protect cells from stresses. HSP protein families are classified based on their molecular weights, mainly including large HSPs, HSP90, HSP70, HSP60, HSP40, and small HSPs. They function as molecular chaperons in cells and work as an integrated network, participating in the folding of newly synthesized polypeptides, refolding metastable proteins, protein complex assembly, dissociating protein aggregate dissociation, and the degradation of misfolded proteins. In addition to their chaperone functions, they also play important roles in cell signaling transduction, cell cycle, and apoptosis regulation. Therefore, malfunction of HSPs is related with many diseases, including cancers, neurodegeneration, and other diseases. In this review, we describe the current understandings about the molecular mechanisms of the major HSP families including HSP90/HSP70/HSP60/HSP110 and small HSPs, how the HSPs keep the protein proteostasis and response to stresses, and we also discuss their roles in diseases and the recent exploration of HSP related therapy and diagnosis to modulate diseases. These research advances offer new prospects of HSPs as potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Viruses cause up to 60% of disease-associated losses in shrimp aquaculture, and the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a major viral pathogen in shrimp. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are host chaperones that help promote many viral infections. We investigated the involvement of Litopenaeus vannamei (Lv) HSP90 in WSSV infections. Expression of LvHSP90 at the transcript and protein levels were upregulated after WSSV infection. Silencing LvHSP90 resulted in the increased cumulative mortality rate and the reduction of circulating hemocytes. The inhibition of LvHSP90 also induced the expression of apoptosis-related genes which indicated the induction of apoptotic pathway and might lead to shrimp death. However, lower the number of WSSV-infected cells and viral copy numbers were detected in the LvHSP90-silenced shrimp compared with those of the controls, corresponding with significantly decreased expressions of viral genes, including the immediate-early genes WSV083 and WSV249 and viral DNA polymerase. Conversely, injecting shrimp with WSSV that had been co-incubated with a recombinant LvHSP90 (rLvHSP90) promoted WSSV infection as evidenced by an increased cumulative mortality rate and viral copy numbers at 40-48 h post infection (hpi). Subcellular localization of LvHSP90 in WSSV-infected hemocytes at 3, 6 and 12 hpi demonstrated increased expression and translocation of LvHSP90 into the nucleus where WSSV DNA can replicate. Thus, LvHSP90 might be involved in the WSSV pathogenesis by promoting WSSV replication.

Abstract
Preterm infants and patients with lung disease often have excess fluid in the lungs and are frequently treated with oxygen, however long-term exposure to hyperoxia results in irreversible lung injury. Although the adverse effects of hyperoxia are mediated by reactive oxygen species, the full extent of the impact of hyperoxia on redox-dependent regulation in the lung is unclear. In this study, neonatal mice overexpressing the beta-subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (β-ENaC) encoded by Scnn1b and their wild type (WT; C57Bl6) littermates were utilized to study the pathogenesis of high fraction inspired oxygen (FiO2)-induced lung injury. Results showed that O2-induced lung injury in transgenic Scnn1b mice is attenuated following chronic O2 exposure. To test the hypothesis that reversible cysteine-redox-modifications of proteins play an important role in O2-induced lung injury, we performed proteome-wide profiling of protein S-glutathionylation (SSG) in both WT and Scnn1b overexpressing mice maintained at 21% O2 (normoxia) or FiO2 85% (hyperoxia) from birth to 11-15 days postnatal. Over 7700 unique Cys sites with SSG modifications were identified and quantified, covering more than 3000 proteins in the lung. In both mouse models, hyperoxia resulted in a significant alteration of the SSG levels of Cys sites belonging to a diverse range of proteins. In addition, substantial SSG changes were observed in the Scnn1b overexpressing mice exposed to hyperoxia, suggesting that ENaC plays a critically important role in cellular regulation. Hyperoxia-induced SSG changes were further supported by the results observed for thiol total oxidation, the overall level of reversible oxidation on protein cysteine residues. Differential analyses reveal that Scnn1b overexpression may protect against hyperoxia-induced lung injury via modulation of specific processes such as cell adhesion, blood coagulation, and proteolysis. This study provides a landscape view of protein oxidation in the lung and highlights the importance of redox regulation in O2-induced lung injury.

Abstract
Over a hundred different autoimmune diseases have been described to date, which can affect every organ in the body, including the largest one, the skin. In fact, up to one-fifth of the world's population suffers from chronic, noninfectious inflammatory skin diseases, the development of which is significantly influenced by an autoimmune response. One of the hallmarks of autoimmune diseases is the loss of immune tolerance, which leads to the formation of autoreactive lymphocytes or autoantibodies and, consequently, to chronic inflammation and tissue damage. The treatment of autoimmune skin diseases mainly focuses on immunosuppression (using, e.g., corticosteroids) but almost never leads to the development of permanent mechanisms of immune tolerance. In addition, current therapies and their long-term administration may cause serious adverse effects. Hence, safer and more effective therapies that bring sustained balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory responses are still desired. Both intra- and extracellular heat shock proteins (Hsps), specifically well-characterized inducible Hsp90 and Hsp70 chaperones, have been highlighted as therapeutic targets for autoimmune diseases. This review presents preclinical data on the involvement of Hsp90 and Hsp70 in modulating the immune response, specifically in the context of the treatment of selected autoimmune skin diseases with emphasis on autoimmune bullous skin diseases and psoriasis.

The Chaperone System in Salivary Glands: Hsp90 Prospects for Differential Diagnosis and Treatment of Malignant Tumors. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23169317. [PMID: 36012578 PMCID: PMC9409185 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23169317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2022] [Revised: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Salivary gland tumors represent a serious medical problem and new tools for differential diagnosis and patient monitoring are needed. Here, we present data and discuss the potential of molecular chaperones as biomarkers and therapeutic targets, focusing on Hsp10 and Hsp90. The salivary glands are key physiological elements but, unfortunately, the information and the means available for the management of their pathologies, including cancer, are scarce. Progress in the study of carcinogenesis has occurred on various fronts lately, one of which has been the identification of the chaperone system (CS) as a physiological system with presence in all cells and tissues (including the salivary glands) that plays a role in tumor-cell biology. The chief components of the CS are the molecular chaperones, some of which belong to families of evolutionarily related molecules named heat shock protein (Hsp). We are quantifying and mapping these molecular chaperones in salivary glands to determine their possible role in the carcinogenetic mechanisms in these glands and to assess their potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Here, we report recent findings on Hsp10 and Hsp90 and show that the quantitative and topographic patterns of tissue Hsp90 are distinctive of malignant tumors and differentiate benign from malignant lesions. The Hsp90 results show a correlation between quantity of chaperone and tumor progression, which in turn calls for negative chaperonotherapy, namely, elimination/inhibition of the chaperone to stop the tumor. We found that in vitro, the Hsp90 inhibitor Ganetespib is cytotoxic for the salivary gland UM-HACC-2A cell line. The drug, by interfering with the pro-survival NF-κB pathway, hampers cellular proliferation and migration, and favors apoptosis, and can, therefore, be considered a suitable candidate for future experimentation to develop a treatment for salivary gland tumors.

Abstract
Assuring a healthy proteome is indispensable for survival and organismal health. Proteome disbalance and the loss of the proteostasis buffer are hallmarks of various diseases. The essential molecular chaperone Hsp90 is a regulator of the heat shock response via HSF1 and a stabilizer of a plethora of signaling proteins. In this review, we summarize the role of Hsp90 in the cellular and organismal regulation of proteome maintenance.

Abstract
Human heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) has four functional domains, including NH2-terminal (N), charged linker region (LR), middle (M) and COOH-terminal (C) domains. In kidney stone disease (or nephrolithiasis/urolithiasis), HSP90 serves as a receptor for calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM), which is the most common crystal to form kidney stones. Nevertheless, roles of HSP90 and its four domains in kidney stone formation remained unclear and under-investigated. We thus examined and compared their effects on COM crystals during physical (crystallization, growth and aggregation) and biological (crystal–cell adhesion and crystal invasion through extracellular matrix (ECM)) pathogenic processes of kidney stone formation. The analyses revealed that full-length (FL) HSP90 obviously increased COM crystal size and abundance during crystallization and markedly promoted crystal growth, aggregation, adhesion onto renal cells and ECM invasion. Comparing among four individual domains, N and C domains exhibited the strongest promoting effects, whereas LR domain had the weakest promoting effects on COM crystals. In summary, our findings indicate that FL-HSP90 and its four domains (N, LR, M and C) promote COM crystallization, crystal growth, aggregation, adhesion onto renal cells and invasion through the ECM, all of which are the important physical and biological pathogenic processes of kidney stone formation.

Abstract
Hsp90 and Hsp70 are highly conserved molecular chaperones that promote the proper folding and activation of substrate proteins that are often referred to as clients. The two chaperones functionally collaborate to fold specific clients in an ATP-dependent manner. In eukaryotic cytosol, initial client folding is done by Hsp70 and its co-chaperones, followed by a direct transfer of client refolding intermediates to Hsp90 for final client processing. However, the mechanistic details of collaboration of organelle specific Hsp70 and Hsp90 are lacking. This work investigates the collaboration of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Hsp70 and Hsp90, BiP and Grp94 respectively, in protein remodeling using in vitro refolding assays. We show that under milder denaturation conditions, BiP collaborates with its co-chaperones to refold misfolded proteins in an ATP-dependent manner. Grp94 does not play a major role in this refolding reaction. However, under stronger denaturation conditions that favor aggregation, Grp94 works in an ATP-independent manner to bind and hold misfolded clients in a folding competent state for subsequent remodeling by the BiP system. We also show that the collaboration of Grp94 and BiP is not simply a reversal of the eukaryotic refolding mechanism since a direct interaction of Grp94 and BiP is not required for client transfer. Instead, ATP binding but not hydrolysis by Grp94 facilitates the release of the bound client, which is then picked up by the BiP system for subsequent refolding in a Grp94-independent manner.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is a major public health problem, with key pieces of information needed for developing preventive and curative measures still missing. For example, the participation of the chaperone system (CS) in carcinogenesis and anti-cancer responses is poorly understood, although it can be predicted to be a crucial factor in these mechanisms. The chief components of the CS are the molecular chaperones, and here we discuss four of them, Hsp27, Hsp60, Hsp70, and Hsp90, focusing on their pro-carcinogenic roles in BC and potential for developing anti-BC therapies. These chaperones can be targets of negative chaperonotherapy, namely the elimination/blocking/inhibition of the chaperone(s) functioning in favor of BC, using, for instance, Hsp inhibitors. The chaperones can also be employed in immunotherapy against BC as adjuvants, together with BC antigens. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) in BC diagnosis and management are also briefly discussed, considering their potential as easily accessible carriers of biomarkers and as shippers of anti-cancer agents amenable to manipulation and controlled delivery. The data surveyed from many laboratories reveal that, to enhance the understanding of the role of the CS in BS pathogenesis, one must consider the CS as a physiological system, encompassing diverse members throughout the body and interacting with the ubiquitin–proteasome system, the chaperone-mediated autophagy machinery, and the immune system (IS). An integrated view of the CS, including its functional partners and considering its highly dynamic nature with EVs transporting CS components to reach all the cell compartments in which they are needed, opens as yet unexplored pathways leading to carcinogenesis that are amenable to interference by anti-cancer treatments centered on CS components, such as the molecular chaperones.

Abstract
Heat shock protein peptide complex 96 (HSPPC-96) has been proven to be a safe and preliminarily effective therapeutic vaccine in treating newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) (NCT02122822). However, the clinical outcomes were highly variable, rendering the discovery of outcome-predictive biomarkers essential for this immunotherapy. We utilized multidimensional immunofluorescence staining to detect CD4+ CD8+ and PD-1+ immune cell infiltration levels, MxA and gp96 protein expression in pre-vaccination GBM tissues of 19 patients receiving HSPPC-96 vaccination. We observed low MxA expression was associated with longer OS than high MxA expression (48 months vs. 20 months, p=0.038). Long-term survivors (LTS) exhibited significantly lower MxA expression than short-term survivors (STS) (p= 0.0328), and ROC curve analysis indicated MxA expression as a good indicator in distinguishing LTS and STS (AUC=0.7955, p=0.0318). However, we did not observe any significant impact of immune cell densities or gp96 expression on patient outcomes. Finally, we revealed the association of MxA expression with prognosis linked to a preexisting TCR clone (CDR3-2) but was independent of the peripheral tumor-specific immune response. Taken together, low MxA expression correlated with better survival in GBM patients receiving HSPPC-96 vaccination, indicating MxA as a potential biomarker for early recognition of responsive patients to this immunotherapy.Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02122822) http://www. chictr.org.cn/enindex.aspx (ChiCTR-ONC-13003309).

Abstract
Photoreceptors are sensitive neuronal cells with great metabolic demands, as they are responsible for carrying out visual phototransduction, a complex and multistep process that requires the exquisite coordination of a large number of signalling protein components. Therefore, the viability of photoreceptors relies on mechanisms that ensure a well-balanced and functional proteome that maintains the protein homeostasis, or proteostasis, of the cell. This review explores how the different isoforms of Hsp90, including the cytosolic Hsp90α/β, the mitochondrial TRAP1, and the ER-specific GRP94, are involved in the different proteostatic mechanisms of photoreceptors, and elaborates on Hsp90 function when retinal homeostasis is disturbed. In addition, several studies have shown that chemical manipulation of Hsp90 has significant consequences, both in healthy and degenerating retinae, and this can be partially attributed to the fact that Hsp90 interacts with important photoreceptor-associated client proteins. Here, the interaction of Hsp90 with the retina-specific client proteins PDE6 and GRK1 will be further discussed, providing additional insights for the role of Hsp90 in retinal disease.

Abstract
Activator of heat shock protein 90 (hsp90) ATPase (Aha1) is a Hsp90 co-chaperone required for Hsp90 ATPase activation. Aha1 is essential for yeast survival and muscle development in C. elegans under elevated temperature and hsp90-deficeiency induced stress conditions. The roles of Aha1 in vertebrates are poorly understood. Here, we characterized the expression and function of Aha1 in zebrafish. We showed that zebrafish genome contains two aha1 genes, aha1a and aha1b, that show distinct patterns of expression during development. Under the normal physiological conditions, aha1a is primarily expressed in skeletal muscle cells of zebrafish embryos, while aha1b is strongly expressed in the head region. aha1a and aha1b expression increased dramatically in response to heat shock induced stress. In addition, Aha1a-GFP fusion protein exhibited a dynamic translocation in muscle cells in response to heat shock. Moreover, upregulation of aha1 expression was also observed in hsp90a1 knockdown embryos that showed a muscle defect. Genetic studies demonstrated that knockout of aha1a, aha1b or both had no detectable effect on embryonic development, survival, and growth in zebrafish. The aha1a and aha1b mutant embryos showed normal muscle development and stress response in response to heat shock. Single or double aha1a and aha1b mutants could grow into normal reproductive adults with normal skeletal muscle structure and morphology compared with wild type control. Together, data from these studies indicate that Aha1a and Aha1b are involved in stress response. However, they are dispensable in zebrafish embryonic development, growth, and survival.

Abstract
Dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) endothelium increases infiltration of lymphocytes and innate immune cells in the brain, leading to the development of neurological disorders. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitors are anti-inflammatory agents and P53 inducers, which reduce the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a diverse variety of human tissues. In this study, we investigate the effects of those compounds in LPS-induced brain endothelial inflammation, by utilizing human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (hCMEC/D3). Our results suggest that Hsp90 inhibitors suppress inflammation by inhibiting the LPS-induced signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3); and P38 activation. Moreover, those compounds reduce the P53 suppressors murine double minute 2 (MDM2) and murine double minute 4 (MDM4). Immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein/glucose-regulated protein 78 (BiP/Grp78)-a key element of endothelial barrier integrity-was also increased by Hsp90 inhibition. Hence, we conclude that application of Hsp90 inhibitors in diseases related to BBB dysfunction may deliver a novel therapeutic possibility in the affected population.

[PMID: 35883440 PMCID: PMC9312846 DOI: 10.3390/biom12070884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Hsp90 is a promising target for the development of novel agents for cancer treatment. The N-terminal Hsp90 inhibitors have several therapeutic limitations, the most important of which is the induction of heat shock response, which can be circumvented by targeting the allosteric binding site on the C-terminal domain (CTD) of Hsp90. In the absence of an Hsp90—CTD inhibitor co-crystal structure, the use of structure-based design approaches for the Hsp90 CTD is difficult and the structural diversity of Hsp90 CTD inhibitors is limited. In this study, we describe the discovery of a novel structural class of Hsp90 CTD inhibitors. A structure-based virtual screening was performed by docking a library of diverse compounds to the Hsp90β CTD binding site. Three selected virtual hits were tested in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line, with compound TVS-23 showing antiproliferative activity with an IC50 value of 26.4 ± 1.1 µM. We report here the optimisation, synthesis and biological evaluation of TVS-23 analogues. Several analogues showed significantly enhanced antiproliferative activities in MCF-7 breast cancer and SK-N-MC Ewing sarcoma cell lines, with 7l being the most potent (IC50 = 1.4 ± 0.4 µM MCF-7; IC50 = 2.8 ± 0.4 µM SK-N-MC). The results of this study highlight the use of virtual screening to expand the structural diversity of Hsp90 CTD inhibitors and provide new starting points for further development.

Li W, Liu J. The Prognostic and Immunotherapeutic Significance of AHSA1 in Pan-Cancer, and Its Relationship With the Proliferation and Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Front Immunol 2022; 13:845585. [PMID: 35757728 PMCID: PMC9226343 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.845585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The AHSA1 is a main activator of ATPase of Hsp90. Hsp90 is involved in various metabolic and developmental processes of tumor cells. Although, the role of AHSA1 in tumor cells is still unrecognized. In the current research, the RNA-seq of 33 tumors were downloaded using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database for the analysis of AHSA1 expression in tumors. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for the evaluation of the prognostic significance of AHSA1 in patients with pan-cancer. Additionally, the correlation between AHSA1 and immune cell infiltration, immune checkpoint, pyroptosis-related molecules, epithelial cell transformation-related molecules, and autophagy-related molecules were analyzed by co-expression. Furthermore, we examined the effect of AHSA1 knockdown on cell function in Huh7 and HCCLM3 cells of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines. According to the finding of this study, up-regulation of AHSA1 expression was observed in numerous tumor tissues, and its over-expression in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and esophageal carcinoma (ESCA) could affect the overall survival and disease-specific survival of the patients. Meanwhile, as per the correlation analysis the expression of AHSA1 was greatly correlated with the expression of various immune cell infiltrates, immune checkpoint inhibitors, tumor mutation load, and microsatellite instability. Moreover, this study focused on analyzing the association of AHSA1 expression with multiple pathological stages in HCC, and confirmed that AHSA1 was an independent prognostic factor of HCC by univariate and multivariate COX regression in TCGA and The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) cohorts. At the same time, cellular experiments proved that the AHSA1 knockdown could decrease the proliferation activity, cell migration and invasion ability of HCC cells. Therefore, the results of this study indicated that AHSA1 can be used as a potential prognostic biomarker of tumors and it may have a significant role in the proliferation as well as migration of HCC cells.

Abstract
Plants employ multi-layered immune system to fight against pathogen infections. Different receptors are able to detect the invasion activities of pathogens, transduce signals to downstream components, and activate defense responses. Among those receptors, nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat containing proteins (NLRs) are the major intracellular ones. CHILLING SENSITIVE 3 (CHS3) is an Arabidopsis NLR with an additional Lin-11, Isl-1 and Mec-3 (LIM) domain at its C terminus. The gain-of-function mutant, chs3-2D, exhibiting severe dwarfism and constitutively activated defense responses, was selected as a genetic background in this study for a forward genetic screen. A mutant allele of hsp90.2 was isolated as a partial suppressor of chs3-2D, suggesting that HSP90 is required for CHS3-mediated defense signaling. In addition, HSP90 is also required for the autoimmunity of the Dominant Negative (DN)-SNIPER1 and gain-of-function ADR1-L2 D484V transgenic lines, suggesting a broad role for HSP90 in NLR-mediated defense. Overall, our work indicates a larger contribution of HSP90 not only at the sensor, but also the helper NLR levels.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 ORF8 Protein Inhibits Type I Interferon Production by Targeting HSP90B1 Signaling. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2022; 12:899546.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a global pandemic that has currently infected over 430 million individuals worldwide. With the variant strains of SARS-CoV-2 emerging, a region of high mutation rates in ORF8 was identified during the early pandemic, which resulted in a mutation from leucine (L) to serine (S) at amino acid 84. A typical feature of ORF8 is the immune evasion by suppressing interferon response; however, the mechanisms by which the two variants of ORF8 antagonize the type I interferon (IFN-I) pathway have not yet been clearly investigated. Here, we reported that SARS-CoV-2 ORF8L and ORF8S with no difference inhibit the production of IFN-β, MDA5, RIG-I, ISG15, ISG56, IRF3, and other IFN-related genes induced by poly(I:C). In addition, both ORF8L and ORF8S proteins were found to suppress the nuclear translocation of IRF3. Mechanistically, the SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 protein interacts with HSP90B1, which was later investigated to induce the production of IFN-β and IRF3. Taken together, these results indicate that SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 antagonizes the RIG-I/MDA-5 signaling pathway by targeting HSP90B1, which subsequently exhibits an inhibitory effect on the production of IFN-I. These functions appeared not to be influenced by the genotypes of ORF8L and ORF8S. Our study provides an explanation for the antiviral immune suppression of SARS-CoV-2 and suggests implications for the pathogenic mechanism and treatment of COVID-19.

Proteome changes in human bladder T24 cells induced by hydroquinone derived from Arctostaphylos uva-ursi herbal preparation. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 289:115092. [PMID: 35143933 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2022.115092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2021] [Revised: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng. (bearberry) is a well-known traditional herbal plant used as a urinary tract disinfectant. Its antiseptic and diuretic properties can be attributed to hydroquinone, obtained by hydrolysis of arbutin. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to determine the toxic profile of free hydroquinone on urinary bladder cells (T24) as a target of therapeutic action. MATERIALS AND METHODS Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the extract and the digestive stability and bioavailability of arbutin and hydroquinone were performed by HPLC assay and simulated in vitro digestion, respectively. Cytotoxic effect, reactive oxygen species induction and proteome changes in T24 cells after hydroquinone treatment were determined using Neutral red assay, 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein-diacetate (DCFH-DA) assay and mass spectrometry, respectively. RESULTS Through in vitro digestion, arbutin was stable, but hydroquinone increased after pepsin treatment (109.6%) and then decreased after the small intestine phase (65.38%). The recommended doses of Uva-ursi had a cytotoxic effect on T24 cells only when all hydroquinone conjugates were converted to free hydroquinone (320 and 900 μg/mL) and the toxic effect was enhanced by recovery. One cup of the therapeutic dose had a prooxidative effect after 4 h of incubation. Shorter time of cell exposure (2 h) to hydroquinone did not have any impact on reactive oxygen species induction. Proteomic analysis found 17 significantly up-regulated proteins compared to control. Hydroquinone activated proteins related to oxidative stress response, stress-adaptive signalling, heat shock response and initiation of translation. CONCLUSIONS Despite the therapeutic properties of bearberry, up-regulated T24 cell proteins are evidence that plant compounds, although from a natural source, may exhibit negative properties.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is an integral tissue system that plays a crucial role in the physical function of all vertebrates and is a key target for maintaining or improving health and performance across the lifespan. Based largely on cellular and animal models, there is some evidence that various forms of heat stress with or without resistance exercise may enhance skeletal muscle growth or reduce its loss. It is not clear whether these stimuli are similarly effective in humans or meaningful in comparison to exercise alone across various heating methodologies. Furthermore, the magnitude by which heat stress may influence whole body thermoregulatory responses and the connection to skeletal muscle adaptation remains ambiguous. Finally, the underlying mechanisms, which may include interaction between relevant heat shock proteins and intracellular hypertrophy and atrophy related factors, remain unclear. In this narrative mini-review we examine the relevant literature regarding heat stress alone or in combination with resistance exercise emphasizing skeletal muscle hypertrophy and atrophy across cellular and animal models, as well as human investigations. Additionally, we present working mechanistic theories for heat shock protein mediated signaling effects regarding hypertrophy and atrophy related signaling processes. Importantly, continued research is necessary to determine the practical effects and mechanisms of heat stress with and without resistance exercise on skeletal muscle function via growth and maintenance.

Abstract
The Keap1 protein is the master modulator of Nrf2 pathway; moreover, it is the hub of such important processes as cancer, cell stress, inflammation, and chemio- and radio-resistance. That is why Keap1 has become an intriguing pharmacological target. Many recent data show that Keap1 interacts with HSP90 protein. In this study, we use ferulic acid (FA) as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, able to relieve inflammatory response. It is known that treatment with 100 μg of FA can significantly decrease the oxidative stress, so it turns to be useful to study the antioxidant regulation. The RAW 264.7 cells transfected with si-Keap1 and LPS treated are the in vitro model used to study the effects of Keap1 silencing on HSP90 activities and the FA antioxidant modulation. Immunoblot data and qPCR analysis show that Keap1 is involved in HSP90 modulation and on anti-oxidative response. Keap1 silencing affects negatively COX2 activation; in fact western blot and qPCR analysis conducted on RAW 264.7 cells Keap1silenced highlight that LPS treatment does not induce COX2 activation. In addition, the FA anti-oxidative and modulatory effect is abolished in COX2 pathway. The same results are point out using human A549 cell line with an allelic mutation on Keap1 gene, and the protein results are partially inactive. This preliminary study points out that Keap1protein is involved in HSP90 and anti-oxidative pathway regulation.

Abstract
The 90 kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp90) is an abundant molecular chaperone that is essential to activate, stabilize and regulate the function of a plethora of client proteins. As drug targets for the treatment of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, Hsp90 inhibitors that bind to the N-terminal ATP-binding site of Hsp90 have shown disappointing efficacy in clinical trials. Thus, allosteric regulation of the function of Hsp90 by compounds that interact with its middle and C-terminal (MC) domains is now being pursued as a mechanism to inhibit the ATPase activity and client protein-binding activity of Hsp90 without concomitant induction of the heat-shock response. Here, the crystal structure of the Hsp90αMC protein covalently linked to a coumarin derivative, MDCC {7-diethylamino-3-[N-(2-maleimidoethyl)carbamoyl]coumarin}, which is located in a hydrophobic pocket that is formed at the Hsp90αMC hexamer interface, is reported. MDCC binding leads to the hexamerization of Hsp90, and the stabilization and conformational changes of three loops that are critical for its function. A fluorescence competition assay demonstrated that other characterized coumarin and isoflavone-containing Hsp90 inhibitors compete with MDCC binding, suggesting that they could bind at a common site or that they might allosterically alter the structure of the MDCC binding site. This study provides insights into the mechanism by which the coumarin class of allosteric inhibitors potentially disrupt the function of Hsp90 by regulating its oligomerization and the burial of interaction sites involved in the ATP-dependent folding of Hsp90 clients. The hydrophobic binding pocket characterized here will provide new structural information for future drug design.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The induction of immunity against cancer stem cells (CSCs) can boost the efficiency of cancer vaccines. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are required for the successful activation of anti-tumor immune responses. Glycoprotein 96 (gp96) is a well-known HSP that promotes the cross-presentation of tumor antigens. The aim of the present study was to optimize the temperature for induction of gp96 in grade 3 breast cancer spheres. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the experimental study, CSCs were enriched from breast tumor tissue samples and cultured in DMEM-F12 with epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), B27, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 22 days. The expression level of CD24 and CD44 as CSC markers was measured by flow cytometry in secondary mammospheres, and the expression of NANOG, SOX2, and OCT4 genes in CSCs was also analyzed using the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). To find the optimal temperature regulation of gp96, the mammosphere was incubated at different temperatures for 1 hour, and gp96 expression was measured using the western blotting assay. RESULTS Primary mammospheres were obtained after seven days of culture, and secondary spheres formed 22 days after passage. Flow cytometry analysis showed that cells with CD24- CD44+ phenotype were enriched in the culture period (from 2.6% on day 1 to 32.6% on day 22). Real-time PCR indicated that OCT4, NANOG, and SOX2 expression in mammospheres were increased by 3.8 ± 0.6, 17.8 ± 0.6, and 7.7 ± 0.8 fold respectively in comparison to the MCF-7 cell line. Western blot analysis showed that gp96 production was significantly upregulated when mammospheres were incubated at both 42°C and 43°C in comparison to the control group. CONCLUSION Altogether, we found that heat-induced upregulated expression of gp96 in CSCs enriched mammospheres from breast tumor tissue might be used as a complementary procedure to generate more immunogenic antigens in immunotherapy settings.

Parkinson’s Disease and SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Particularities of Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms Regarding Pathogenesis and Treatment. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10051000. [PMID: 35625737 PMCID: PMC9138688 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10051000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Accumulating data suggest that chronic neuroinflammation-mediated neurodegeneration is a significant contributing factor for progressive neuronal and glial cell death in age-related neurodegenerative pathology. Furthermore, it could be encountered as long-term consequences in some viral infections, including post-COVID-19 Parkinsonism-related chronic sequelae. The current systematic review is focused on a recent question aroused during the pandemic’s successive waves: are there post-SARS-CoV-2 immune-mediated reactions responsible for promoting neurodegeneration? Does the host’s dysregulated immune counter-offensive contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, emerging as Parkinson’s disease, in a complex interrelation between genetic and epigenetic risk factors? A synthetic and systematic literature review was accomplished based on the ”Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Principles Reviews and Meta-Analyses” (PRISMA) methodology, including registration on the specific online platform: International prospective register of systematic reviews—PROSPERO, no. 312183. Initially, 1894 articles were detected. After fulfilling the five steps of the selection methodology, 104 papers were selected for this synthetic review. Documentation was enhanced with a supplementary 47 bibliographic resources identified in the literature within a non-standardized search connected to the subject. As a final step of the PRISMA method, we have fulfilled a Population-Intervention-Comparison-Outcome-Time (PICOT)/Population-Intervention-Comparison-Outcome-Study type (PICOS)—based metanalysis of clinical trials identified as connected to our search, targeting the outcomes of rehabilitative kinesitherapeutic interventions compared to clinical approaches lacking such kind of treatment. Accordingly, we identified 10 clinical trials related to our article. The multi/interdisciplinary conventional therapy of Parkinson’s disease and non-conventional multitarget approach to an integrative treatment was briefly analyzed. This article synthesizes the current findings on the pathogenic interference between the dysregulated complex mechanisms involved in aging, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration, focusing on Parkinson’s disease and the acute and chronic repercussions of COVID-19. Time will tell whether COVID-19 neuroinflammatory events could trigger long-term neurodegenerative effects and contribute to the worsening and/or explosion of new cases of PD. The extent of the interrelated neuropathogenic phenomenon remains obscure, so further clinical observations and prospective longitudinal cohort studies are needed.

Advances towards Understanding the Mechanism of Action of the Hsp90 Complex. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12050600. [PMID: 35625528 PMCID: PMC9138868 DOI: 10.3390/biom12050600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Revised: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Hsp90 (Heat Shock Protein 90) is an ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) molecular chaperone responsible for the activation and maturation of client proteins. The mechanism by which Hsp90 achieves such activation, involving structurally diverse client proteins, has remained enigmatic. However, recent advances using structural techniques, together with advances in biochemical studies, have not only defined the chaperone cycle but have shed light on its mechanism of action. Hsp90 hydrolysis of ATP by each protomer may not be simultaneous and may be dependent on the specific client protein and co-chaperone complex involved. Surprisingly, Hsp90 appears to remodel client proteins, acting as a means by which the structure of the client protein is modified to allow its subsequent refolding to an active state, in the case of kinases, or by making the client protein competent for hormone binding, as in the case of the GR (glucocorticoid receptor). This review looks at selected examples of client proteins, such as CDK4 (cyclin-dependent kinase 4) and GR, which are activated according to the so-called ‘remodelling hypothesis’ for their activation. A detailed description of these activation mechanisms is paramount to understanding how Hsp90-associated diseases develop.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a new form of regulatory cell death named by Dixon in 2012, which is characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides and iron ions. Molecular chaperones are a class of evolutionarily conserved proteins in the cytoplasm. They recognize and bind incompletely folded or assembled proteins to help them fold, transport or prevent their aggregation, but they themselves do not participate in the formation of final products. As the largest number of molecular chaperones, heat shock proteins can be divided into five families: HSP110 (HSPH), HSP90 (HSPC), HSP70 (HSPA), HSP40 (DNAJ) and small heat shock proteins (HSPB). Different heat shock proteins play different roles in promoting or inhibiting ferroptosis in different diseases. It is known that ferroptosis is participated in tumors, nervous system diseases, renal injury and ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, there are few reviews about the relationship of heat shock proteins and ferroptosis. In this study, we systematically summarize the roles of heat shock proteins in the occurrence of ferroptosis, and predict the possible mechanisms of different families of heat shock proteins in the development of ferroptosis.

Abstract
The heat shock proteins (Hsps) act as a molecular chaperone to stabilize client proteins involved in various cell functions in fungi. Hsps are classified into different families such as HSP90, HSP70, HSP60, HSP40, and small HSPs (sHsps). Hsp90, a well-studied member of the Hsp family proteins, plays a role in growth, cell survival, and pathogenicity in fungi. Hsp70 and sHsps are involved in the development, tolerance to stress conditions, and drug resistance in fungi. Hsp60 is a mitochondrial chaperone, and Hsp40 regulates fungal ATPase machinery. In this review, we describe the cell functions, regulation, and the molecular link of the Hsps with the calcineurin-crz1 calcium signaling pathway for their role in cell survival, growth, virulence, and drug resistance in fungi and related organisms.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are gaining increasing attention in nanomedicine because of their stimuli responsiveness, which allows combining therapy with diagnosis. However, little information is known about their interaction with intracellular or plasma proteins when they are introduced in a biological environment. Here we present atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations investigating the case study of dopamine-functionalized TiO2 nanoparticles and two proteins that are overexpressed in cancer cells, i.e. PARP1 and HSP90, since experiments proved them to be the main components of the corona in cell cultures. The mechanism and the nature of the interaction (electrostatic, van der Waals, H-bonds, etc.) is unravelled by defining the protein residues that are more frequently in contact with the NPs, the extent of contact surface area and the variations in the protein secondary structures, at different pH and ionic strength conditions of the solution where they are immersed to simulate a realistic biological environment. The effects of the NP surface functionalization and charge are also considered. Our MD results suggest that less acidic intracellular pH conditions in the presence of cytosolic ionic strength enhance PARP1 interaction with the nanoparticle, whereas the HSP90 contribution is partly weakened, providing a rational explanation to existing experimental observations.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused more than 5 million deaths worldwide. Multiple reports indicate that the endothelium is involved during SARS-Cov-2-related disease (COVID-19). Indeed, COVID-19 patients display increased thrombophilia with arterial and venous embolism and lung microcapillary thrombotic disease as major determinants of deaths. The pathophysiology of endothelial dysfunction in COVID-19 is not completely understood. We have investigated the role of subunit 1 of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S1SP) in eliciting endothelial barrier dysfunction, characterized dose and time relationships, and tested the hypothesis that heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors would prevent and repair such injury. S1SP activated (phosphorylated) IKBα, STAT3, and AKT and reduced the expression of intercellular junctional proteins, occludin, and VE-cadherin. HSP90 inhibitors (AT13387 and AUY-922) prevented endothelial barrier dysfunction and hyperpermeability and reduced IKBα and AKT activation. These two inhibitors also blocked S1SP-mediated barrier dysfunction and loss of VE-cadherin. These data suggest that spike protein subunit 1 can elicit, by itself, direct injury to the endothelium and suggest a role of HSP90 inhibitors in preserving endothelial functionality.
