ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 258:114996. [PMID: 37167740 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
A growing body of evidence shows that cigarette smoking impairs cognitive performance. The 'Calcium Hypothesis' theory of neuronopathies reveals a critical role of aberrant calcium signaling in compromised cognitive functions. However, the underlying implications of abnormalities in calcium signaling in the neurotoxicity induced by cigarette smoke (CS) have not yet been identified. CACNA2D1, an important auxiliary subunit involved in the composition of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), was reported to affect the calcium signaling in neurons by facilitating VGCCs-mediated Ca2+ influx. ΔFOSB, an alternatively-spliced product of the Fosb gene, is an activity-dependent transcription factor induced robustly in the brain in response to environmental stimuli such as CS. Interestingly, our preliminary bioinformatics analysis revealed a significant co-expression between ΔFOSB and CACNA2D1 in brain tissues of patients with neurodegenerative diseases characterized by progressive cognitive decline. Therefore, we hypothesized that the activation of the ΔFOSB-CACNA2D1 axis in response to CS exposure might cause dysregulation of calcium homeostasis in hippocampal neurons via VGCCs-mediated Ca2+ influx, thereby contributing to cognitive deficits. To this end, the present study established a CS-induced mouse model of hippocampus-dependent cognitive impairment, in which the activation of the ΔFOSB-CACNA2D1 axis accompanied by severe calcium overload was observed in the mouse hippocampal tissues. More importantly, ΔFOSB knockdown-/overexpression-mediated inactivation/activation of the ΔFOSB-CACNA2D1 axis interdicted/mimicked CS-induced dysregulation of calcium homeostasis followed by severe cellular damage in HT22 mouse hippocampal neurons. Mechanistically speaking, a further ChIP-qPCR assay confirmed the physical interaction between transcription factor ΔFOSB and the Cacna2d1 gene promoter, suggesting a direct transcriptional regulation of the Cacna2d1 gene by ΔFOSB. Overall, our current work aims to deliver a unique insight into the neurotoxic mechanisms induced by CS to explore potential targets for intervention.

Abstract
Cortactin (CTTN) is an actin-binding and cytoskeletal protein that is found in abundance in the cell cortex and other peripheral structures of most cell types. It was initially described as a target for Src-mediated phosphorylation at several tyrosine sites within CTTN, and post-translational modifications at these tyrosine sites are a primary regulator of its function. CTTN participates in multiple cellular functions that require cytoskeletal rearrangement, including lamellipodia formation, cell migration, invasion, and various other processes dependent upon the cell type involved. The role of CTTN in vascular endothelial cells is particularly important for promoting barrier integrity and inhibiting vascular permeability and tissue edema. To mediate its functional effects, CTTN undergoes multiple post-translational modifications and interacts with numerous other proteins to alter cytoskeletal structures and signaling mechanisms. In the present review, we briefly describe CTTN structure, post-translational modifications, and protein binding partners and then focus on its role in regulating cellular processes and well-established functional mechanisms, primarily in vascular endothelial cells and disease models. We then provide insights into how CTTN function affects the pathophysiology of multiple lung disorders, including acute lung injury syndromes, COPD, and asthma.

Cortactin Modulates Lung Endothelial Apoptosis Induced by Cigarette Smoke. Cells 2021; 10:cells10112869.

Abstract
Cigarette smoke (CS) is the primary cause of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and an important pathophysiologic event in COPD is CS-induced apoptosis in lung endothelial cells (EC). Cortactin (CTTN) is a cytoskeletal actin-binding regulatory protein with modulation by Src-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation. Based upon data demonstrating reduced CTTN mRNA levels in the lungs of smokers compared to non-smokers, we hypothesized a functional role for CTTN in CS-induced mitochondrial ROS generation and apoptosis in lung EC. Exposure of cultured human lung EC to CS condensate (CSC) led to the rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton and increased CTTN tyrosine phosphorylation (within hours). Exposure to CS significantly increased EC mitochondrial ROS generation and EC apoptosis. The functional role of CTTN in these CSC-induced EC responses was explored using cortactin siRNA to reduce its expression, and by using a blocking peptide for the CTTN SH3 domain, which is critical to cytoskeletal interactions. CTTN siRNA or blockade of its SH3 domain resulted in significantly increased EC mitochondrial ROS and apoptosis and augmented CSC-induced effects. Exposure of lung EC to e-cigarette condensate demonstrated similar results, with CTTN siRNA or SH3 domain blocking peptide increasing lung EC apoptosis. These data demonstrate a novel role for CTTN in modulating lung EC apoptosis induced by CS or e-cigarettes potentially providing new insights into COPD pathogenesis.

Abstract
Tobacco smoking is one of the most important risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the most critical genes and proteins remain poorly understood. Therefore, we aimed to investigate these hub genes and proteins in tobacco smoke-induced COPD, together with the potential mechanism(s). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analysed between smokers and patients with COPD. mRNA expression and protein expression of IP3 R were confirmed in patients with COPD and extracted smoke solution (ESS)-treated human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells. Moreover, expression of oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines and/or autophagy-related protein was tested when IP3 R was silenced or overexpressed in ESS-treated and/or 3-MA-treated cells. A total of 30 DEGs were obtained between patients with COPD and smoker samples. IP3 R was identified as one of the key targets in tobacco smoke-induced COPD. In addition, IP3 R was significantly decreased in patients with COPD and ESS-treated cells. Loss of IP3 R statistically increased expression of oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines in ESS-treated HBE cells, and overexpression of IP3 R reversed the above functions. Furthermore, the autophagy-related proteins (Atg5, LC3 and Beclin1) were statistically decreased, and p62 was increased by silencing of IP3 R cells, while overexpression of IP3 R showed contrary results. Additionally, we detected that administration of 3-MA significantly reversed the protective effects of IP3 R overexpression on ESS-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory injury. Our results suggest that IP3 R might exert a protective role against ESS-induced oxidative stress and inflammation damage in HBE cells. These protective effects might be associated with promoting autophagy.

Abstract
Kainic acid (KA) is an excitotoxic glutamate analogue produced by a marine seaweed. It elicits neuronal excitotoxicity leading to epilepsy in rodents. Activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily 1 (TRPV1), a nonselective cation channel protein, by capsaicin, prevents KA-induced seizures in a mouse model of temporal lobe epilepsy. However, the precise mechanism behind this protective effect of capsaicin remains unclear. In order to analyze the direct effect of KA on TRPV1, we evaluated the ability of KA to activate TRPV1 and analyzed its binding to TRPV1 using a molecular modeling approach. In vitro, KA activates a Ca2+ influx into TRPV1 expressing HEK293 cells but not in contsrol HEK293 cells. Pretreatment with either capsaicin (1 M) or capsazepine (10 M; TRPV1 antagonist) prevents the effect of KA. Pharmacological inhibition of phospholipase C (PLC) by U73122 or overexpression of phosphatidylinositol 5 phosphatase (Synaptojanin 1; Synj-1) counters the effect of KA. Further, KA treatment causes actin reorganization in HEKTRPV1 cells and PLC inhibition by U73122 prevents this. Molecular modeling data revealed that KA binds to TRPV1 and prebinding with capsaicin prevents the binding of KA to TRPV1. Consistently, the lack of effect of KA in activating chicken TRPV1, which is insensitive to capsaicin, suggests that there is a significant overlap between the sites of KA and capsaicin activation of TRPV1. However, PLC inhibition did not suppress TRPV1 activation by capsaicin. Collectively, our data suggest that KA binds to and activates TRPV1 and causes actin reorganization via PLC-dependent mechanism in vitro. We propose that KA mediates Ca2+ induced toxicity possibly by activating TRPV1. Therefore, inhibiting TRPV1 will be a beneficial strategy in abating Ca2+-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
In all eukaryotes, the cell shape depends on the actin filament cytoskeleton, which is regulated by the small GTPase RhoA. It is well known that the cell shape determines cell function and behavior. Inversely, any change in the cell behavior and/or function reverberates at the cell shape. In this review, we describe how mechanical/magnetic, genetic, or pharmacologic interference with the actin cytoskeleton enforces changes in cell shape and function and how such techniques can be used to control the phenotype and functions of immune cells such as macrophages and to develop novel anti-cancer and anti-rejection clinical therapies.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cAMP-regulated, apical anion channel that regulates ion and fluid transport in many epithelia including the airways. We have previously shown that cigarette smoke (CS) exposure to airway epithelia causes a reduction in plasma membrane CFTR expression which correlated with a decrease in airway surface hydration. The effect of CS on CFTR was dependent on an increase in cytosolic Ca2+. However, the underlying mechanism for this Ca2+-dependent, internalisation of CFTR is unknown. To gain a better understanding of the effect of Ca2+ on CFTR, we performed whole cell current recordings to study the temporal effect of raising cytosolic Ca2+ on CFTR function. We show that an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ induced a time-dependent reduction in whole cell CFTR conductance, which was paralleled by a loss of cell surface CFTR expression, as measured by confocal and widefield fluorescence microscopy. The decrease in CFTR conductance and cell surface expression were both dynamin-dependent. Single channel reconstitution studies showed that raising cytosolic Ca2+ per se had no direct effect on CFTR. In fact, the loss of CFTR plasma membrane activity correlated with activation of calcineurin, a Ca2+-dependent phosphatase, suggesting that dephosphorylation of CFTR was linked to the loss of surface expression. In support of this, the calcineurin inhibitor, cyclosporin A, prevented the Ca2+-induced decrease in cell surface CFTR. These results provide a hitherto unrecognised role for cytosolic Ca2+ in modulating the residency of CFTR at the plasma membrane through a dynamin- and calcineurin-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
Background Fractalkine is widely expressed throughout the brain and spinal cord, where it can exert effects on pain enhancement and hyperalgesia by activating microglia through CX3C chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1), which triggers the release of several pro-inflammatory cytokines in the spinal cord. Fractalkine has also been shown to increase cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) in microglia. Material/Methods Based on the characteristics of CX3CR1, a G protein-coupled receptor, we explored the role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) signaling in fractalkine-induced inflammatory response in BV-2 cells in vitro. The effect and the underlying mechanism induced by fractalkine in the brain were observed using a mouse model with intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of exogenous fractalkine. Results [Ca2+]i was significantly increased and IL-1β and TNF-α levels were higher in the fractalkine-treated cell groups than in the farctalkine+ 2-APB groups. We found that i.c.v. injection of fractalkine significantly increased p-p38MAPK, IL-1β, and TNF-α expression in the brain, while i.c.v. injection of a fractalkine-neutralizing antibody (anti-CX3CR1), trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) antagonist (2-APB), or p38MAPK inhibitor (SB203580) prior to fractalkine addition yielded an effective and reliable anti-allodynia effect, following the reduction of p-p38MAPK, IL-1β, and TNF-α expression. Conclusions Our results suggest that fractalkine leads to hyperalgesia, and the underlying mechanism may be associated with IP3/p38MAPK-mediated calcium signaling and its phlogogenic properties.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glioblastoma is a debilitating disease that is associated with poor prognosis and a very limited response to therapies; thus, molecularly targeted therapeutics and personalized therapy are urgently needed. The Na+/K+-ATPase sodium pump is a transmembrane protein complex that has recently been recognized as an important transducer and integrator of various signals. The sodium pump α1 subunit, which is highly expressed in most glioblastomas compared with that in normal brain tissues, is an emerging cancer target that merits further investigation. AREAS COVERED The purpose of this narrative review is to explore the important roles of the sodium pump α1 subunit in glioblastoma and analyze its potential therapeutic applications. EXPERT OPINION Expression of the sodium pump α1 subunit in glioblastoma tissues is generally higher than that in normal tissues. Sodium pump α1 subunit-mediated pivotal antiglioblastoma signaling pathways have been reviewed, and their impact on the sensitivity of glioblastoma cells to anticancer drugs has recently been clarified. In addition, various pharmacologically optimized sodium pump inhibitors have recently reached early clinical trials, and explorations of sodium pump α1 subunit inhibitors may hold promise for the development of stratification strategies in which patients are treated based on their isoform expression status.

Abstract
Cell morphology is altered in the migration process, and the underlying cytoskeleton remodeling is highly dependent of intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Many calcium channels are known to be involved in migration. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) was demonstrated to be implicated in breast cancer cells migration, but its involvement in morphological changes during the migration process remains unclear. In the present work, we showed that IP3R3 expression was correlated to cell morphology. IP3R3 silencing induced rounding shape and decreased adhesion in invasive breast cancer cell lines. Moreover, IP3R3 silencing decreased ARHGAP18 expression, RhoA activity, Cdc42 expression and Y861FAK phosphorylation. Interestingly, IP3R3 was able to regulate profilin remodeling, without inducing any myosin II reorganization. IP3R3 silencing revealed an oscillatory calcium signature, with a predominant oscillating profile occurring in early wound repair. To summarize, we demonstrated that IP3R3 is able to modulate intracellular Ca2+ availability and to coordinate the remodeling of profilin cytoskeleton organization through the ARHGAP18/RhoA/mDia1/FAK pathway.

Abstract
Macrophages play crucial role in tissue homeostasis and the innate and adaptive immune response. Depending on the state of activation macrophages acquire distinct phenotypes that depend on actin, which is regulated by small GTPase RhoA. The naive M0 macrophages are slightly elongated, pro-inflammatory M1 are round and M2 anti-inflammatory macrophages are elongated. We showed previously that interference with RhoA pathway (RhoA deletion or RhoA/ROCK kinase inhibition) disrupted actin, produced extremely elongated (hummingbird) macrophage phenotype and inhibited macrophage movement toward transplanted hearts. The RhoA function depends on the family of guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), which catalyze the exchange of GDP for GTP and activate RhoA that reorganizes actin cytoskeleton. Using actin staining, immunostaining, Western blotting, flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy we studied how a direct inhibition of Rho-GEFs with Rhosin (Rho GEF-binding domain blocker) and Y16 (Rho GEF DH-PH domain blocker) affects M0, M1 and M2 macrophage phenotypes. We also studied how Rho-GEFs inhibition and RhoA deletion affects organization of Golgi complex that is crucial for normal macrophage functions such as phagocytosis, antigen presentation and receptor recycling. We found that GEFs inhibition differently affected M0, M1 and M2 macrophages phenotype and that GEFs inhibition and RhoA deletion both caused changes in the ultrastructure of the Golgi complex. These results suggest that actin/RhoA- dependent shaping of macrophage phenotype has different requirements for activity of RhoA/GEFs pathway in M0, M1 and M2 macrophages, and that RhoA and Rho-GEFs functions are necessary for the maintenance of actin-dependent organization of Golgi complex.
