Lysosomal dysfunction in Schwann cells is involved in bortezomib-induced peripheral neurotoxicity. Arch Toxicol 2023; 97:1385-1396. [PMID: 36826473 DOI: 10.1007/s00204-023-03468-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023]
Abstract
Bortezomib (BTZ) is a proteasome inhibitor serves as a first-line drug for multiple myeloma treatment. BTZ-induced peripheral neuropathy (BIPN) is the most common adverse effect of BTZ with an incidence as high as 40-60%. However, the pathological mechanisms underlying BIPN remain largely unclear. BTZ leads to dramatic Schwann cell demyelination in sciatic nerves. Previous studies implied that myelin debris was predominantly degraded via autophagy-lysosome pathway in Schwann cells. However, the association of autophagy with BIPN has not been made. Mice were treated with BTZ (2 mg/kg, i.v.) on Day1 and Day4 each week for continuous 4 weeks. BTZ-treated mice showed enhanced mechanical hyperalgesia, decreased tail nerve conduction and sciatic nerve demyelination. Unexpectedly, BTZ led to the accumulation of autophagic vesicles, LC3-II and p62 in the sciatic nerve. Moreover, BTZ blocked autophagic flux in RSC96 Schwann cells as determined by mcherry-GFP-LC3 assay, suggesting BTZ may impair lysosomal function rather than inducing autophagy in Schwann cells. BTZ significantly reduced the lysosomal activity in Schwann cells as determined by reduced LysoTracker Red and DQ-Red-BSA staining and increased the level of immature Cathepsin B (CTSB). Remarkably, lysosomal activators PP242 and Torin1, significantly reversed the blockage of autophagic flux by BTZ. We further verified that Torin1 rescued the demyelination, nerve conduction and reduced the mechanical hyperalgesia in BIPN mice. Additionally, Torin1 did not compromise the efficacy of BTZ in suppressing multiple myeloma RPMI8226 cell. Taken together, we identified that lysosomal dysfunction in Schwann cells caused by BTZ is involved in the BIPN pathology. Improved lysosomal function in Schwann cells can be a promising strategy for BIPN treatment.

G-protein coupled estrogen receptor activation protects the viability of hyperoxia-treated primary murine retinal microglia by reducing ER stress. Aging (Albany NY) 2020; 12:17367-17379. [PMID: 32920550 PMCID: PMC7521534 DOI: 10.18632/aging.103733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2020] [Accepted: 06/19/2020] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) activation in the early phase of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and its association with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress using primary murine retinal microglia as an experimental model. Fluorescence microscopy results show that the CD11c-positive primary retinal microglia in vitro cultured for 14 days were GPER-positive. GPER activation using GPER-agonist G-1 reduced autophagy and increased the viability of the hyperoxia-treated primary murine retinal microglia. Furthermore, GPER activation reduced the expression of ER stress-related proteins, IRE1α, PERK and ATF6 in the hyperoxia-treated primary murine retinal microglia compared to the corresponding controls. GPER activation significantly reduced a time-dependent increase in IP3R-dependent calcium release from the ER, thereby maintaining higher calcium levels in the ER of hyperoxia-treated primary retinal microglia. However, the protective effects of G-1 on the hyperoxia-treated primary retinal microglia were eliminated by inactivation of GPER using the GPER-antagonist, G-15. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that GPER activation enhances the survival of hyperoxia-treated primary retinal microglia by reducing ER stress. Our study demonstrates the therapeutic potential of GPER agonists such as G-1 in the early phase of ROP.

Abstract
Impairment of the ubiquitin-proteasome-system (UPS) and autophagy causing cytoplasmic aggregation of ubiquitin andp62 have been implicated in the pathogenesis of most neurodegenerative disorders, yet, they have not been fully elucidated in leukodystrophies. The relationship among impairment of UPS, autophagy, and globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD), one of the most common demyelinating leukodystrophies, is clarified in this study. We examined the ubiquitin and autophagy markers in the brains of twitcher mice, a murine model of infantile GLD, and in human oligodendrocytes incubated with psychosine. Immunohistochemical examinations showed spatiotemporal accumulation of ubiquitin- and p62-aggregates mainly in the white matter of brain and spinal cord at disease progression. Western blot analysis demonstrated a significant accumulation of ubiquitin, p62, and LC3-II in insoluble fraction in parallel with progressive demyelination and neuroinflammation in twitcher brains. In vitro study validated a dose- and time-dependent cytotoxicity of psychosine upon autophagy and UPS machinery. Inhibition of autophagy and UPS exacerbated the accumulation of insoluble ubiquitin, p62, and LC3-II proteins mediated by psychosine cytotoxicity as well as increased cytoplasmic deposition of ubiquitin- and p62-aggregates, and accumulation of autophagosomes and autolysosomes. Further, the subsequent accumulation of reactive oxygen species and reduction of mitochondrial respiration led to cell death. Our studies validate the impairment of proteasome and autophagy underlying the pathogenesis of GLD. These findings provide a novel insight into pathogenesis of GLD and suggest a specific pathomechanism as an ideal target for therapeutic approaches.

Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol 2019; 47:466-477.

Abstract
Autophagy and cellular senescence are two critical responses of mammalian cells to stress and may have a direct relationship given that they respond to the same set of stimuli, including oxidative stress, DNA damage, and telomere shortening. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as reliable cell sources for stem cell transplantation and are currently being tested in numerous clinical trials. However, the effects of autophagy on MSC senescence and corresponding mechanisms have not been fully evaluated. Several studies demonstrated that autophagy level increases in aging MSCs and the downregulation of autophagy can delay MSC senescence, which is inconsistent with most studies that showed autophagy could play a protective role in stem cell senescence. To further study the relationship between autophagy and MSC senescence and explore the effects and mechanisms of premodulated autophagy on MSC senescence, we induced the up- or down-regulation of autophagy by using rapamycin (Rapa) or 3-methyladenine, respectively, before MSC senescence induced by D-galactose (D-gal). Results showed that pretreatment with Rapa for 24 hours remarkably alleviated MSC aging induced by D-gal and inhibited ROS generation. p-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and p-38 expression were also clearly decreased in the Rapa group. Moreover, the protective effect of Rapa on MSC senescence can be abolished by enhancing the level of ROS, and p38 inhibitor can reverse the promoting effect of H2 O2 on MSC senescence. In summary, the present study indicates that autophagy plays a protective role in MSC senescence induced by D-gal, and ROS/JNK/p38 signalling plays an important mediating role in autophagy-delaying MSC senescence.
