Franco-Obregón A, Tai YK. Are Aminoglycoside Antibiotics TRPing Your Metabolic Switches? Cells 2024; 13:1273. [PMID: 39120305 PMCID: PMC11311832 DOI: 10.3390/cells13151273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are broadly implicated in the developmental programs of most tissues. Amongst these tissues, skeletal muscle and adipose are noteworthy for being essential in establishing systemic metabolic balance. TRP channels respond to environmental stimuli by supplying intracellular calcium that instigates enzymatic cascades of developmental consequence and often impinge on mitochondrial function and biogenesis. Critically, aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGAs) have been shown to block the capacity of TRP channels to conduct calcium entry into the cell in response to a wide range of developmental stimuli of a biophysical nature, including mechanical, electromagnetic, thermal, and chemical. Paradoxically, in vitro paradigms commonly used to understand organismal muscle and adipose development may have been led astray by the conventional use of streptomycin, an AGA, to help prevent bacterial contamination. Accordingly, streptomycin has been shown to disrupt both in vitro and in vivo myogenesis, as well as the phenotypic switch of white adipose into beige thermogenic status. In vivo, streptomycin has been shown to disrupt TRP-mediated calcium-dependent exercise adaptations of importance to systemic metabolism. Alternatively, streptomycin has also been used to curb detrimental levels of calcium leakage into dystrophic skeletal muscle through aberrantly gated TRPC1 channels that have been shown to be involved in the etiology of X-linked muscular dystrophies. TRP channels susceptible to AGA antagonism are critically involved in modulating the development of muscle and adipose tissues that, if administered to behaving animals, may translate to systemwide metabolic disruption. Regenerative medicine and clinical communities need to be made aware of this caveat of AGA usage and seek viable alternatives, to prevent contamination or infection in in vitro and in vivo paradigms, respectively.

Ohto-Fujita E, Hayasaki S, Atomi A, Fujiki S, Watanabe T, Boelens WC, Shimizu M, Atomi Y. Dynamic localization of αB-crystallin at the microtubule cytoskeleton network in beating heart cells. J Biochem 2020; 168:125-137. [PMID: 32725133 DOI: 10.1093/jb/mvaa025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2020] [Accepted: 02/05/2020] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
αB-crystallin is highly expressed in the heart and slow skeletal muscle; however, the roles of αB-crystallin in the muscle are obscure. Previously, we showed that αB-crystallin localizes at the sarcomere Z-bands, corresponding to the focal adhesions of cultured cells. In myoblast cells, αB-crystallin completely colocalizes with microtubules and maintains cell shape and adhesion. In this study, we show that in beating cardiomyocytes α-tubulin and αB-crystallin colocalize at the I- and Z-bands of the myocardium, where it may function as a molecular chaperone for tubulin/microtubules. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) analysis revealed that the striated patterns of GFP-αB-crystallin fluorescence recovered quickly at 37°C. FRAP mobility assay also showed αB-crystallin to be associated with nocodazole-treated free tubulin dimers but not with taxol-treated microtubules. The interaction of αB-crystallin and free tubulin was further confirmed by immunoprecipitation and microtubule sedimentation assay in the presence of 1-100 μM calcium, which destabilizes microtubules. Förster resonance energy transfer analysis showed that αB-crystallin and tubulin were at 1-10 nm apart from each other in the presence of colchicine. These results suggested that αB-crystallin may play an essential role in microtubule dynamics by maintaining free tubulin in striated muscles, such as the soleus or cardiac muscles.

Oncol Lett 2020; 19:3439-3450. [PMID: 32269617 PMCID: PMC7115135 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2020.11451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2019] [Accepted: 12/12/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The understanding into the pathogenesis and treatment of gastric cancer has improved in recent years; however, a number of limitations have delayed the development of effective treatment. Cancer cells can undergo glycolysis and inhibit oxidative phosphorylation in the presence of oxygen (Warburg effect). Previous studies have demonstrated that a rotary cell culture system (RCCS) can induce glycolytic metabolism. In addition, the potential of regulating cancer cells by targeting their metabolites has led to the rapid development of metabolomics. In the present study, human HGC-27 gastric cancer cells were cultured in a RCCS bioreactor, simulating weightlessness. Subsequently, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to examine the effects of simulated microgravity (SMG) on the metabolism of HGC-27 cells. A total of 67 differentially regulated metabolites were identified, including upregulated and downregulated metabolites. Compared with the normal gravity group, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl choline, arachidonic acid and sphinganine were significantly upregulated in SMG conditions, whereas sphingomyelin, phosphatidyl serine, phosphatidic acid, L-proline, creatine, pantothenic acid, oxidized glutathione, adenosine diphosphate and adenosine triphosphate were significantly downregulated. The Human Metabolome Database compound analysis revealed that lipids and lipid-like metabolites were primarily affected in an SMG environment in the present study. Overall, the findings of the present study may aid our understanding of gastric cancer by identifying the underlying mechanisms of metabolism of the disease under SMG.
