Proteomic Analysis of KCNK3 Loss of Expression Identified Dysregulated Pathways in Pulmonary Vascular Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:E7400. [PMID: 33036472 PMCID: PMC7582549 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21197400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2020] [Revised: 10/02/2020] [Accepted: 10/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The physiopathology of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) and endothelial cell (PAEC) dysfunction, contributing to pulmonary arterial obstruction and PAH progression. KCNK3 loss of function mutations are responsible for the first channelopathy identified in PAH. Loss of KCNK3 function/expression is a hallmark of PAH. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in KCNK3 dysfunction are mostly unknown. To identify the pathological molecular mechanisms downstream of KCNK3 in human PASMCs (hPASMCs) and human PAECs (hPAECs), we used a Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry-based proteomic approach to identify the molecular pathways regulated by KCNK3. KCNK3 loss of expression was induced in control hPASMCs or hPAECs by specific siRNA targeting KCNK3. We found that the loss of KCNK3 expression in hPAECs and hPASMCs leads to 326 and 222 proteins differentially expressed, respectively. Among them, 53 proteins were common to hPAECs and hPASMCs. The specific proteome remodeling in hPAECs in absence of KCNK3 was mostly related to the activation of glycolysis, the superpathway of methionine degradation, and the mTOR signaling pathways, and to a reduction in EIF2 signaling pathways. In hPASMCs, we found an activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathways and a reduction in EIF2 signaling and the Purine Nucleotides De Novo Biosynthesis II and IL-8 signaling pathways. Common to hPAECs and hPASMCs, we found that the loss of KCNK3 expression leads to the activation of the NRF2-mediated oxidative stress response and a reduction in the interferon pathway. In the hPAECs and hPASMCs, we found an increased expression of HO-1 (heme oxygenase-1) and a decreased IFIT3 (interferon-induced proteins with tetratricopeptide repeats 3) (confirmed by Western blotting), allowing us to identify these axes to understand the consequences of KCNK3 dysfunction. Our experiments, based on the loss of KCNK3 expression by a specific siRNA strategy in control hPAECs and hPASMCs, allow us to identify differences in the activation of several signaling pathways, indicating the key role played by KCNK3 dysfunction in the development of PAH. Altogether, these results allow us to better understand the consequences of KCNK3 dysfunction and suggest that KCNK3 loss of expression acts in favor of the proliferation and migration of hPASMCs and promotes the metabolic shift and apoptosis resistance of hPAECs.

Hypoxic activation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase controls the expression of genes involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension through the regulation of DNA methylation. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 2020; 318:L773-L786. [PMID: 32159369 PMCID: PMC7191486 DOI: 10.1152/ajplung.00001.2020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2020] [Revised: 02/24/2020] [Accepted: 02/28/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming is considered important in the pathogenesis of the occlusive vasculopathy observed in pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, the mechanisms that link reprogrammed metabolism to aberrant expression of genes, which modulate functional phenotypes of cells in PH, remain enigmatic. Herein, we demonstrate that, in mice, hypoxia-induced PH was prevented by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDDef), and further show that established severe PH in Cyp2c44-/- mice was attenuated by knockdown with G6PD shRNA or by G6PD inhibition with an inhibitor (N-ethyl-N'-[(3β,5α)-17-oxoandrostan-3-yl]urea, NEOU). Mechanistically, G6PDDef, knockdown and inhibition in lungs: 1) reduced hypoxia-induced changes in cytoplasmic and mitochondrial metabolism, 2) increased expression of Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2 (Tet2) gene, and 3) upregulated expression of the coding genes and long noncoding (lnc) RNA Pint, which inhibits cell growth, by hypomethylating the promoter flanking region downstream of the transcription start site. These results suggest functional TET2 is required for G6PD inhibition to increase gene expression and to reverse hypoxia-induced PH in mice. Furthermore, the inhibitor of G6PD activity (NEOU) decreased metabolic reprogramming, upregulated TET2 and lncPINT, and inhibited growth of control and diseased smooth muscle cells isolated from pulmonary arteries of normal individuals and idiopathic-PAH patients, respectively. Collectively, these findings demonstrate a previously unrecognized function for G6PD as a regulator of DNA methylation. These findings further suggest that G6PD acts as a link between reprogrammed metabolism and aberrant gene regulation and plays a crucial role in regulating the phenotype of cells implicated in the pathogenesis of PH, a debilitating disorder with a high mortality rate.

Abstract
The clinical presentation except age of onset is similar in different types of angioedema. A lymphoproliferative disorder like angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL) rarely presents with symptoms of angioedema. We present extremely rare case of elderly male with recurrent tongue swelling, pruritus with normal levels of complements and C1 esterase inhibitor protein featuring as acquired angioedema, a rare manifestation of AITL. Initial response to corticosteroids may be misleading and occurs as a result of immunosuppression of AITL. High index of suspicion may prompt need for histopathological diagnosis of lymph node biopsy. Definitive chemotherapeutic treatment may achieve long term remission.

Abstract
IgG4-related disease is a fibro-inflammatory condition that can affect nearly any organ system. Common presentations include major salivary and lacrimal gland enlargement, orbital disease, autoimmune pancreatitis, retroperitoneal fibrosis and tubulointerstitial nephritis. This review focuses on the hematologic manifestations of IgG4-related disease, including lymphadenopathy, eosinophilia, and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. The disease can easily be missed by unsuspecting hematologists, as patients may present with clinical problems that mimic disorders such as multicentric Castleman disease, lymphoma, plasma cell neoplasms and hypereosinophilic syndromes. When IgG4-related disease is suspected, serum protein electrophoresis and IgG subclasses are helpful as initial tests but a firm histological diagnosis is essential both to confirm the diagnosis and to rule out mimickers. The central histopathological features are a dense, polyclonal, lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate enriched with IgG4-positive plasma cells (with an IgG4/IgG ratio >40%), storiform fibrosis, and obliterative phlebitis. Importantly for hematologists, the latter two features are seen in all tissues except bone marrow and lymph nodes, making these two sites suboptimal for histological confirmation. Many patients follow an indolent course and respond well to treatment, but a significant proportion may have highly morbid or fatal complications such as periaortitis, severe retroperitoneal fibrosis or pachymeningitis. Corticosteroids are effective but cause new or worsening diabetes in about 40% of patients. Initial response rates to rituximab are high but durable remissions are rare. More intensive lymphoma chemotherapy regimens may be required in rare cases of severe, refractory disease, and targeted therapy against plasmablasts, IgE and other disease biomarkers warrant further exploration.

Abstract
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a fatal disorder with limited treatment options and reduced life expectancy after diagnosis. Complex genetic backgrounds in PAH complicates identification of causative mutations that is essential for an understanding of the disease diagnostics and etiology especially for idiopathic PAH (iPAH). Hemolysis has been implicated as contributing to the pathobiology of PAH. Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) expression and activity define erythrocyte's antioxidant capacity, and its decrease contributes to erythrocyte fragility. As G6PD deficiency was previously reported in a limited number of PAH cases, we tested whether iPAH patients exhibit underlying G6PD alterations in erythrocytes. A cohort of 22 PAH patients and 8 non-PAH patients were recruited for this study. DNA isolated from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) was used for detection of mutations in the coding region of the G6PD gene. RNA isolated from PBMC was used for determination of G6PD mRNA expression level. G6PD activity was measured in Red Blood Cell (RBC) pellets. Three patients had missense mutations in G6PD (Val291Met, Asn126Asp, Asp194Glu), however, only one mutation (Val291Met) results in a severe G6PD deficiency. A single patient with mutation (Asn126Asp) showed a 21% decrease in G6PD activity, two subjects showed G6PD deficiency without mutations, and one patient had a decreased level of G6PD mRNA and reduced enzyme levels. This study demonstrates that a moderate decrease in G6PD activity is associated with PAH. Screening for G6PD activity and mutations in the G6PD gene may provide early detection of individuals predisposed to PAH.

Abstract
Angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL) is a rare but distinct type of T cell lymphoma with an aggressive course and high mortality. Most patients are diagnosed late in the disease and usually present with generalized lymphadenopathy. A minority have skin lesions at the time of diagnosis, more commonly in the form of nonspecific maculopapular rash with or without pruritus. We report a rare case of AITL presenting with chronic, recurrent angioedema and urticaria-like lesions and no palpable peripheral adenopathy. Primary Care physicians, dermatologists, and allergists must maintain a high index of suspicion for cutaneous manifestations of lymphoma, especially if the skin lesions are refractory to standard treatment. Timely diagnosis is essential to improve survival.
