Abstract
The innate immune system uses a distinct set of germline-encoded pattern recognition receptors to recognize molecular patterns initially thought to be unique to microbial invaders, named pathogen-associated molecular patterns. The concept was later further developed to include similar molecular patterns originating from host cells during tissue damage, known as damage-associated molecular patterns. However, recent advances in the mechanism of monogenic inflammatory diseases have highlighted a much more expansive repertoire of cellular functions that are monitored by innate immunity. Here, we summarize several examples in which an innate immune response is triggered when homeostasis of macromolecule in the cell is disrupted in non-infectious or sterile settings. These ever-growing sensing mechanisms expand the repertoire of innate immune recognition, positioning it not only as a key player in host defense but also as a gatekeeper of cellular homeostasis. Therapeutics inspired by these advances to restore cellular homeostasis and correct the immune system could have far-reaching implications.

Abstract
Objective Diabetes pathology relies on exosomes (Exos). This study investigated how peripheral blood Exo-containing microRNAs (miRNAs) cause vascular injury in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods We removed DEmiRNA from T2D chip data from the GEO database. We isolated Exo from 15 peripheral blood samples from T2D patients and 15 healthy controls and measured Exo DEmiRNA levels. We employed the intersection of Geneards and mirWALK database queries to find T2D peripheral blood mRNA-related chip target genes. Next, we created a STRING database candidate target gene interaction network map. Next, we performed GO and KEGG enrichment analysis on T2D-related potential target genes using the ClusterProfiler R package. Finally, we selected T2D vascular damage core genes and signaling pathways using GSEA and PPI analysis. Finally, we used HEK293 cells for luciferase assays, co-cultured T2D peripheral blood-derived Exo with HVSMC, and detected HVSMC movement alterations. Results We found 12 T2D-related DEmiRNAs in GEO. T2D patient-derived peripheral blood Exo exhibited significantly up-regulated miR-135a-3p by qRT-PCR. Next, we projected miR-135a-3p's downstream target mRNA and screened 715 DEmRNAs to create a regulatory network diagram. DEmRNAs regulated biological enzyme activity and vascular endothelial cells according to GO function and KEGG pathway analysis. ErbB signaling pathway differences stood out. PPI network study demonstrated that DEmRNA ATM genes regulate the ErbB signaling pathway. The luciferase experiment validated miR-135a-3p and ATM target-binding. Co-culture of T2D patient-derived peripheral blood Exo with HVSMC cells increases HVSMC migration, ErbB2, Bcl-2, and VEGF production, and decreases BAX and ATM. However, miR-135a-3p can reverse the production of the aforesaid functional proteins and impair HVSMC cell movement. Conclusion T2D patient-derived peripheral blood Exo carrying miR-135a-3p enter HVSMC, possibly targeting and inhibiting ATM, activating the ErbB signaling pathway, promoting abnormal HVSMC proliferation and migration, and aggravating vascular damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Loss of expression of the gene ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM), occurring in patients with multiple primary malignancies, including pancreatic cancer, is associated with poor prognosis. In this study, we investigated the detailed molecular mechanism through which ATM expression affects the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer. METHODS The levels of expression of ATM and phosphorylated ATM in patients with pancreatic cancer who had undergone surgical resection were analyzed using immunohistochemistry staining. RNA sequencing was performed on ATM-knockdown pancreatic-cancer cells to elucidate the mechanism underlying the invlovement of ATM in pancreatic cancer. RESULTS Immunohistochemical analysis showed that 15.3% and 27.8% of clinical samples had low levels of ATM and phosphorylated ATM, respectively. Low expression of phosphorylated ATM substantially reduced overall and disease-free survival in patients with pancreatic cancer. In the pancreatic cancer cell lines with ATM low expression, resistance to gemcitabine was demonstrated. The RNA sequence demonstrated that ATM knockdown induced the expression of MET and NTN1. In ATM knockdown cells, it was also revealed that the protein expression levels of HIF-1α and antiapoptotic BCL-2/BAD were upregulated. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that loss of ATM expression increases tumor development, suppresses apoptosis, and reduces gemcitabine sensitivity. Additionally, loss of phosphorylated ATM is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with pancreatic cancer. Thus, phosphorylated ATM could be a possible target for pancreatic cancer treatment as well as a molecular marker to track patient prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iron-sulfur clusters play a central role in cellular function and are regulated by the ATM protein. Iron-sulfur clusters are part of the cellular sulfide pool, which functions to maintain cardiovascular health, and consists of free hydrogen sulfide, iron-sulfur clusters, protein bound sulfides, which constitute the total cellular sulfide fraction. ATM protein signaling and the drug pioglitazone share some cellular effects, which led us to examine the effects of this drug on cellular iron-sulfur cluster formation. Additionally, as ATM functions in the cardiovasculature and its signaling may be diminished in cardiovascular disease, we examined pioglitazone in the same cell type, with and without ATM protein expression. METHODS We examined the effects of pioglitazone treatment on the total cellular sulfide profile, the glutathione redox state, cystathionine gamma-lyase enzymatic activity, and on double-stranded DNA break formation in cells with and without ATM protein expression. RESULTS Pioglitazone increased the acid-labile (iron-sulfur cluster) and bound sulfur cellular fractions and reduced cystathionine gamma-lyase enzymatic activity in cells with and without ATM protein expression. Interestingly, pioglitazone also increased reduced glutathione and lowered DNA damage in cells without ATM protein expression, but not in ATM wild-type cells. These results are interesting as the acid-labile (iron-sulfur cluster), bound sulfur cellular fractions, and reduced glutathione are low in cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSION Here we found that pioglitazone increased the acid-labile (iron-sulfur cluster) and bound sulfur cellular fractions, impinges on hydrogen sulfide synthesis, and exerts beneficial effect on cells with deficient ATM protein signaling. Thus, we show a novel pharmacologic action for pioglitazone.

Abstract
Chronic consumption of Western-type diet (WD) induces cardiac structural and functional abnormalities. Previously, we have shown that WD consumption in male ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated kinase) deficient mice associates with accelerated body weight (BW) gain, cardiac systolic dysfunction with increased preload, and exacerbation of hypertrophy, apoptosis, and inflammation. This study investigated the role of ATM deficiency in WD-induced changes in functional and biochemical parameters of the heart in female mice. Six-week-old wild-type (WT) and ATM heterozygous knockout (hKO) female mice were placed on WD or NC (normal chow) for 14 weeks. BW gain, fat accumulation, and cardiac functional and biochemical parameters were measured 14 weeks post-WD. WD-induced subcutaneous and total fat contents normalized to body weight were higher in WT-WD versus hKO-WD. Heart function measured using echocardiography revealed decreased percent fractional shortening and ejection fraction, and increased LV end systolic diameter and volume in WT-WD versus WT-NC. These functional parameters remained unchanged in hKO-WD versus hKO-NC. Myocardial fibrosis, myocyte hypertrophy, and apoptosis were higher in WT-WD versus WT-NC. However, apoptosis was significantly lower and hypertrophy was significantly higher in hKO-WD versus WT-WD. MMP-9 and Bax expression, and Akt activation were higher in WT-WD versus WT-NC. PARP-1 (full-length) expression and mTOR activation were lower in WT-WD versus hKO-WD. Thus, ATM deficiency in female mice attenuates fat weight gain, preserves heart function, and associates with decreased cardiac cell apoptosis in response to WD.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has a high mortality. The single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) method was used to analyze disease heterogeneity at the single-cell level. From the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (GSE180678), AMI scRNA-seq were downloaded and preprocessed by the Seurat package. Gene expression data came from GSE182923. Cell cluster analysis was conducted. Cell types were identified. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) analyses were performed on hub genes. Drugs were predicted by protein–protein interaction (PPI) and molecular docking. In total, 7 cell clusters were defined based on the scRNA-seq dataset, and the clusters were labeled as 5 cell types by marker genes. Hematopoietic stem cell types as a differential subgroups were higher in AMI than in healthy tissues. From available databases and PPI analysis, 52 common genets were identified. Based on 52 genes, 5 clusters were obtained using the MCODE algorithm, and genes in these 5 clusters involved in immune and inflammatory pathways were determined. Correlation analysis showed that hematopoietic stem cell types were negatively correlated with ATM, CARM1, and CASP8 but positively correlated with CASP3 and PPARG. This was reversed with immune cells. Molecular docking analysis showed that DB05490 had the lowest docking score with PPARG. We identified 5 hub genes (ATM, CARM1, CASP8, CASP3, and PPARG) involved in AMI progression. Compound DB05490 was a potential inhibitor of PPAG.

Abstract
Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is one of the three main apical kinases at the crux of DNA damage response and repair in mammalian cells. ATM activates a cascade of downstream effector proteins to regulate DNA repair and cell cycle checkpoints in response to DNA double-strand breaks. While ATM is predominantly known for its role in DNA damage response and repair, new roles of ATM have recently begun to emerge, such as in regulating oxidative stress or metabolic pathways. Here, we report the surprising discovery that ATM inhibition and deletion lead to reduced expression of the nuclear envelope protein lamin A. Lamins are nuclear intermediate filaments that modulate nuclear shape, structure, and stiffness. Accordingly, inhibition or deletion of ATM resulted in increased nuclear deformability and enhanced cell migration through confined spaces, which requires substantial nuclear deformation. These findings point to a novel connection between ATM and lamin A and may have broad implications for cells with ATM mutations—as found in patients suffering from Ataxia Telangiectasia and many human cancers—which could lead to enhanced cell migration and increased metastatic potential.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gasotransmitter that exerts numerous physiologic and pathophysiologic effects. Recently, a role for H2S in DNA repair has been identified, where H2S modulates cell cycle checkpoint responses, the DNA damage response (DDR), and mitochondrial and nuclear genomic stability. In addition, several DNA repair proteins modulate cellular H2S concentrations and cellular sulfur metabolism and, in turn, are regulated by cellular H2S concentrations. Many DDR proteins are now pharmacologically inhibited in targeted cancer therapies. As H2S and the enzymes that synthesize it are increased in many human malignancies, it is likely that H2S synthesis inhibition by these therapies is an underappreciated aspect of these cancer treatments. Moreover, both H2S and DDR protein activities in cancer and cardiovascular diseases are becoming increasingly apparent, implicating a DDR-H2S signaling axis in these pathophysiologic processes. Taken together, H2S and DNA repair likely play a central and presently poorly understood role in both normal cellular function and a wide array of human pathophysiologic processes. Here, we review the role of H2S in DNA repair.

Abstract
Prevention or repair of DNA damage is critical to inhibit carcinogenesis in living organisms. Using quantitative RT2 Profiler™ PCR array, we investigated if trans-resveratrol could modulate the transcription of DNA damage sensing/repair pathway genes in euglycemic and non-obese type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rat testis. Trans-resveratrol imparted disparate effects on gene expressions. In euglycemic rats, it downregulated 79% and upregulated 2% of genes. However, in diabetic rats, it upregulated only 2% and downregulated 4% of genes. As such, diabetes upregulated 16% and downregulated 4% of genes. Trans-resveratrol normalized the expression of 9 (60%) out of 15 upregulated genes in diabetic rats. In euglycemic rats, trans-resveratrol inhibited ATM/ATR, DNA damage repair, pro-cell cycle progression, and apoptosis signaling genes. However, it increased Cdkn1a and Sumo1, indicating cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and cytostasis in conjunction with increased DNA double-strand breaks and apoptosis. Diabetes increased DNA damage and apoptosis but did not affect ATM/ATR and double-strand break repair genes, although it increased few single-strand repair genes. Diabetes increased Abl1 and Sirt1, which may be related to apoptosis, but their increase may well suggest the enhanced cell cycle progression and putative carcinogenicity. The transcription of Rad17 and Smc1a increased in diabetic rats indicating G2 phase arrest and increases in a few DNA single-strand breaks repair genes suggesting DNA damage repair. Trans-resveratrol inhibits the cell cycle and causes cell death in euglycemic rat testis but normalizes diabetes-induced genes related to DNA damage and cell cycle control, suggesting its usefulness in maintaining DNA integrity in diabetes.

Abstract
Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated protein kinase (ATM) has recently come to the fore as a regulatory protein fulfilling many roles in the fine balancing act of metabolic homeostasis. Best known for its role as a transducer of DNA damage repair, the activity of ATM in the cytosol is enjoying increasing attention, where it plays a central role in general cellular recycling (macroautophagy) as well as the targeted clearance (selective autophagy) of damaged mitochondria and peroxisomes in response to oxidative stress, independently of the DNA damage response. The importance of ATM activation by oxidative stress has also recently been highlighted in the clearance of protein aggregates, where the expression of a functional ATM construct that cannot be activated by oxidative stress resulted in widespread accumulation of protein aggregates. This review will discuss the role of ATM in general autophagy, mitophagy, and pexophagy as well as aggrephagy and crosstalk between oxidative stress as an activator of ATM and its potential role as a master regulator of these processes.

Abstract
Heart failure is a leading cause of death in the United States. Diabetes, also known as diabetes mellitus (DM), exponentially increases the risk of heart failure. The increase in oxidative stress and metabolic dysfunction caused by DM can lead to DNA damage and the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Ataxia telangiectasia mutated kinase (ATM) is a DNA damage response protein with a primary nuclear function to regulate cell cycle progression in response to double-strand DNA breaks, acts as a redox sensor, and facilitates DNA repair. ATM deficiency associates with the development of insulin resistance and DM. Consequently, patients with Ataxia telangiectasia, a rare autosomal recessive disorder, have an increased risk of developing heart failure. The main objective of this review is to summarize the shared metabolic and cardiac abnormalities associated with DM and ATM deficiency, with a focus on the development of heart failure.

Abstract
Research on the molecular pathology of genome instability disorders has advanced our understanding of the complex mechanisms that safeguard genome stability and cellular homeostasis at large. Once the culprit genes and their protein products are identified, an ongoing dialogue develops between the research lab and the clinic in an effort to link specific disease symptoms to the functions of the proteins that are missing in the patients. Ataxi A-T elangiectasia (A-T) is a prominent example of this process. A-T's hallmarks are progressive cerebellar degeneration, immunodeficiency, chronic lung disease, cancer predisposition, endocrine abnormalities, segmental premature aging, chromosomal instability and radiation sensitivity. The disease is caused by absence of the powerful protein kinase, ATM, best known as the mobilizer of the broad signaling network induced by double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the DNA. In parallel, ATM also functions in the maintenance of the cellular redox balance, mitochondrial function and turnover and many other metabolic circuits. An ongoing discussion in the A-T field revolves around the question of which ATM function is the one whose absence is responsible for the most debilitating aspect of A-T - the cerebellar degeneration. This review suggests that it is the absence of a comprehensive role of ATM in responding to ongoing DNA damage induced mainly by endogenous agents. It is the ensuing deterioration and eventual loss of cerebellar Purkinje cells, which are very vulnerable to ATM absence due to a unique combination of physiological features, which kindles the cerebellar decay in A-T.

Abstract
Mitochondria control various processes in cellular metabolic homeostasis, such as adenosine triphosphate production, generation and clearance of reactive oxygen species, control of intracellular Ca2+ and apoptosis, and are thus a critical therapeutic target for metabolic syndrome (MetS). The mitochondrial targeted antioxidant mitoquinone (MitoQ) reduces mitochondrial oxidative stress, prevents impaired mitochondrial dynamics, and increases mitochondrial turnover by promoting autophagy (mitophagy) and mitochondrial biogenesis, which ultimately contribute to the attenuation of MetS conditions, including obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The regulatory effect of MitoQ on mitochondrial homeostasis is mediated through AMPK and its downstream signaling pathways, including MTOR, SIRT1, Nrf2 and NF-κB. However, there are few reviews focusing on the critical role of MitoQ as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of MetS. The purpose of this review is to summarize the mitochondrial role in the pathogenesis of MetS, especially in obesity and type 2 diabetes, and discuss the effect and underlying mechanism of MitoQ on mitochondrial homeostasis in MetS.

Abstract
ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) protein is found associated with multiple organelles including synaptic vesicles, endosomes and lysosomes, often in cooperation with ATR (ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3 related). Mutation of the ATM gene results in ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), an autosomal recessive disorder with defects in multiple organs including the nervous system. Precisely how ATM deficiency leads to the complex phenotypes of A-T, however, remains elusive. Here, we reported that part of the connection may lie in autophagy and lysosomal abnormalities. We found that ATM was degraded through the autophagy pathway, while ATR was processed by the proteasome. Autophagy and lysosomal trafficking were both abnormal in atm-/- neurons and the deficits impacted cellular functions such as synapse maintenance, neuronal survival and glucose uptake. Upregulated autophagic flux was observed in atm-/- lysosomes, associated with a more acidic pH. Significantly, we found that the ATP6V1A (ATPase, H+ transporting, lysosomal V1 subunit A) proton pump was an ATM kinase target. In atm-/- neurons, lysosomes showed enhanced retrograde transport and accumulated in the perinuclear regions. We attributed this change to an unexpected physical interaction between ATM and the retrograde transport motor protein, dynein. As a consequence, SLC2A4/GLUT4 (solute carrier family 4 [facilitated glucose transporter], member 4) translocation to the plasma membrane was inhibited and trafficking to the lysosomes was increased, leading to impaired glucose uptake capacity. Together, these data underscored the involvement of ATM in a variety of neuronal vesicular trafficking processes, offering new and therapeutically useful insights into the pathogenesis of A-T.Abbreviations: 3-MA: 3-methyladenine; A-T: ataxia-telangiectasia; ALG2: asparagine-linked glycosylation 2 (alpha-1,3-mannosyltransferase); AMPK: adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase; ATG5: autophagy related 5; ATM: ataxia telangiectasia mutated; ATP6V1A: ATPase, H+ transporting, lysosomal V1 subunit A; ATR: ataxia-telangiectasia and Rad3 related; BFA1: bafilomycin A1; CC3: cleaved-CASP3; CGN: cerebellar granule neuron; CLQ: chloroquine; CN: neocortical neuron; CTSB: cathepsin B; CTSD: cathepsin D; DYNLL1: the light chain1 of dynein; EIF4EBP1/4E-BP1: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein 1; Etop: etoposide; FBS: fetal bovine serum; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; HBS: HEPES-buffered saline; HEPES: 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid; HOMER1: homer protein homolog 1; KU: KU-60019; LAMP1: lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1; LC3B-II: LC3-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugate; Lyso: lysosome; LysopH-GFP: lysopHluorin-GFP; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MAP2: microtubule associated protein 2; MAPK14: mitogen-activated protein kinase 14; MAPK8/JNK1: mitogen-activated protein kinase 8; MCOLN1/TRPML1: mucolipin 1; OSBPL1A: oxysterol binding protein like 1A; PIKK: phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase related kinase; Rapa: rapamycin; RILP: rab interacting lysosomal protein; ROS: reactive oxygen species; SEM: standard error of mean; SLC2A4/GLUT4: solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 4; TSC2/tuberin: TSC complex subunit 2; ULK1: unc-51 like kinase 1; UPS: ubiquitin-proteasome system; VE: VE-822; WCL: whole-cell lysate; WT: wild type.

Abstract
Background: Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare autosomal-recessive multisystem disorder characterized by pronounced cerebellar ataxia, telangiectasia, cancer predisposition and altered body composition. In addition, evidence is rising for endocrine dysfunction. Objectives: To determine the evolution of diabetes and its prevalence in a larger A-T cohort. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the patient charts of 39 subjects from the Frankfurt A-T cohort was performed between August 2002 and 2018 concerning HbA1c and oral glucose tolerance (OGTT). The median follow-up period was 4 years (1-16 years). In addition, in 31 A-T patients aged 1 to 38 years HbA1c and fasting glucose were studied prospectively from 2018 to 2019. Results: In the retrospective analysis, we could demonstrate a longitudinal increase of HbA1c. The prospective analysis showed a significant increase of HbA1c and fasting glucose with age (r = 0.79, p ≤ 0.0001). OGTT has a good sensitivity for insulin resistance screening, whereas HbA1c can be used to evaluate individual courses and therapy response. Seven out of 39 (17.9%) patients suffered from diabetes. Metformin did not always lead to sufficient diabetes control; one patient was treated successfully with repaglinide. Conclusion: Diabetes is a common finding in older A-T patients and often starts in puberty. Our data clearly demonstrate the need for an annual diabetes screening in patients > 12 years.

Mitoprotective Clinical Strategies in Type 2 Diabetes and Fanconi Anemia Patients: Suggestions for Clinical Management of Mitochondrial Dysfunction. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9010082.

Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) and mitochondrial dysfunction (MDF) occur in a number of disorders, and several clinical studies have attempted to counteract OS and MDF by providing adjuvant treatments against disease progression. The present review is aimed at focusing on two apparently distant diseases, namely type 2 diabetes (T2D) and a rare genetic disease, Fanconi anemia (FA). The pathogenetic links between T2D and FA include the high T2D prevalence among FA patients and the recognized evidence for OS and MDF in both disorders. This latter phenotypic/pathogenetic feature-namely MDF-may be regarded as a mechanistic ground both accounting for the clinical outcomes in both diseases, and as a premise to clinical studies aimed at counteracting MDF. In the case for T2D, the working hypothesis is raised of evaluating any in vivo decrease of mitochondrial cofactors, or mitochondrial nutrients (MNs) such as α-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, and l-carnitine, with possibly combined MN-based treatments. As for FA, the established knowledge of MDF, as yet only obtained from in vitro or molecular studies, prompts the requirement to ascertain in vivo MDF, and to design clinical studies aimed at utilizing MNs toward mitigating or delaying FA's clinical progression. Altogether, this paper may contribute to building hypotheses for clinical studies in a number of OS/MDF-related diseases.

Abstract
The E3 ubiquitin ligase Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) is the main negative regulator of the tumor protein p53 (TP53). Extensive studies over more than two decades have confirmed MDM2 oncogenic role through mechanisms both TP53-dependent and TP53-independent oncogenic function. These studies have contributed to designate MDM2 as a therapeutic target of choice for cancer treatment and the number of patents for MDM2 antagonists has increased immensely over the last years. However, the question of the physiological functions of MDM2 has not been fully resolved yet, particularly when expressed and regulated physiologically in healthy tissue. Cardiovascular complications are almost an inescapable side-effect of anti-cancer therapies. While several MDM2 antagonists are entering phase I, II and even III of clinical trials, this review proposes to bring awareness on the physiological role of MDM2 in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) have a common co-occurrence. Both diseases display overlapping pathophysiology and risk factors, suggesting shared biological mechanisms. Conditions such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, poor diet, and inadequate physical activity can cause both heart disease and cancer. The burgeoning field of onco-cardiology aims to develop diagnostics and innovative therapeutics for both diseases through targeting shared mechanisms and molecular targets. In this overarching context, this expert review presents an analysis of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks for onco-cardiology drug discovery. Several PPI complexes such as MDM2-TP53 and CDK4-pRB have been studied for their tumor-suppressive functions. In addition, XIAP-SMAC, RAC1-GEF, Sur-2ESX, and TP53-BRCA1 are other PPI complexes that offer potential breakthrough for onco-cardiology therapeutics innovation. As both cancer and CVD share biological mechanisms to a certain degree, the PPI network analyses for onco-cardiology drug discovery are promising for addressing comorbid diseases in the spirit of systems medicine. We discuss the emerging architecture of PPI networks in cancer and CVD and prospects and challenges for their exploitation toward therapeutics applications. Finally, we emphasize that PPIs that were once thought to be undruggable have become potential new class of innovative drug targets.

Abstract
Protein-coding genetic variants that strongly affect disease risk can yield relevant clues to disease pathogenesis. Here we report exome-sequencing analyses of 20,791 individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and 24,440 non-diabetic control participants from 5 ancestries. We identify gene-level associations of rare variants (with minor allele frequencies of less than 0.5%) in 4 genes at exome-wide significance, including a series of more than 30 SLC30A8 alleles that conveys protection against T2D, and in 12 gene sets, including those corresponding to T2D drug targets (P = 6.1 × 10-3) and candidate genes from knockout mice (P = 5.2 × 10-3). Within our study, the strongest T2D gene-level signals for rare variants explain at most 25% of the heritability of the strongest common single-variant signals, and the gene-level effect sizes of the rare variants that we observed in established T2D drug targets will require 75,000-185,000 sequenced cases to achieve exome-wide significance. We propose a method to interpret these modest rare-variant associations and to incorporate these associations into future target or gene prioritization efforts.

Abstract
The absence of Ataxia-Telangiectasia mutated protein kinase (ATM) is associated with neurological, metabolic and cardiovascular defects. The protein has been associated with mitochondria and its absence results in mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, it can be activated in the cytosol by mitochondrial oxidative stress and mediates a cellular anti-oxidant response through the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). However, the precise location and function of ATM within mitochondria and its role in oxidative phosphorylation is still unknown. We show that ATM is found endogenously within cardiac myocyte mitochondria under normoxic conditions and is consistently associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane. Acute ex vivo inhibition of ATM protein kinase significantly decreased mitochondrial electron transfer chain complex I-mediated oxidative phosphorylation rate but did not decrease coupling efficiency or oxygen consumption rate during β-oxidation. Chemical inhibition of ATM in rat cardiomyoblast cells (H9c2) significantly decreased the excited-state autofluorescence lifetime of enzyme-bound reduced NADH and its phosphorylated form, NADPH (NAD(P)H; 2.77 ± 0.26 ns compared to 2.57 ± 0.14 ns in KU60019-treated cells). This suggests an interaction between ATM and the electron transfer chain in the mitochondria, and hence may have an important role in oxidative phosphorylation in terminally differentiated cells such as cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a devastating multi-system disorder characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, immunodeficiency, genetic instability, premature aging and growth retardation. Due to better care the patients get older than in the past and new disease entities like disturbed glucose tolerance and liver disease emerge. The objective of the present investigation is to determine the evolution of liver disease and its relation to age and neurological deterioration. The study included 67 patients aged 1 to 38 years with classical A-T. At least two measurements of liver enzymes were performed within a minimum interval of 6 months in 56 patients. The median follow-up period was 4 years (1-16 years). A total of 316 liver enzyme measurements were performed. For analysis, patients were divided into two age groups (Group 1: <12 years; group 2: ≥12 years). In addition, ultrasound of the liver and Klockgether Ataxia Score (KAS) were analyzed. We found significantly higher levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) (226,8 ± 20.87 ng/ml vs. 565,1 ± 24.3 ng/ml, p < 0.0001), and liver enzymes like ALT (23.52 ± 0.77 IU/L vs. 87.83 ± 5.31 IU/L, p < 0.0001) in patients in group 2. In addition, we could show a significant correlation between age and AFP, GGT, and KAS. Ultrasound revealed hepatic steatosis in 11/19 (57.9%) patients in group 2. One female patient aged 37 years died due to a hepato-cellular carcinoma (HCC). Liver disease is present in the majority of older A-T patients. Structural changes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and fibrosis are frequent findings. Progress of liver disease is concomitant to neurological deterioration.

Boosting ATM activity alleviates aging and extends lifespan in a mouse model of progeria. eLife 2018; 7:34836. [PMID: 29717979 PMCID: PMC5957528 DOI: 10.7554/elife.34836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 52] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2018] [Accepted: 04/16/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
DNA damage accumulates with age (Lombard et al., 2005). However, whether and how robust DNA repair machinery promotes longevity is elusive. Here, we demonstrate that ATM-centered DNA damage response (DDR) progressively declines with senescence and age, while low dose of chloroquine (CQ) activates ATM, promotes DNA damage clearance, rescues age-related metabolic shift, and prolongs replicative lifespan. Molecularly, ATM phosphorylates SIRT6 deacetylase and thus prevents MDM2-mediated ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Extra copies of Sirt6 extend lifespan in Atm-/- mice, with restored metabolic homeostasis. Moreover, the treatment with CQ remarkably extends lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans, but not the ATM-1 mutants. In a progeria mouse model with low DNA repair capacity, long-term administration of CQ ameliorates premature aging features and extends lifespan. Thus, our data highlights a pro-longevity role of ATM, for the first time establishing direct causal links between robust DNA repair machinery and longevity, and providing therapeutic strategy for progeria and age-related metabolic diseases. As cells live and divide, their genetic material gets damaged. The DNA damage response is a network of proteins that monitor, recognize and fix the damage, which is also called DNA lesions. For example, an enzyme called ATM senses when DNA is broken and then begins a process that will get it repaired, while another enzyme known as SIRT6 participates in the actual mending process. When organisms get older, the repair machinery becomes less efficient, and the number of DNA lesions and errors increases. The accumulation of DNA damage may cause the ‘symptoms’ of old age – from cancer, to wrinkles and the slowing down of the body’s chemical processes. In fact, individuals with defective ATMs (who thus struggle to repair their DNA) age abnormally fast; conversely, SIRT6 promotes longevity. If declining repair mechanisms cause aging, would boosting the DNA damage response slow down this process? Chloroquine is a drug used to combat malaria, but it can also enhance the activity of ATM without damaging DNA. Qian, Liu et al. show that chloroquine helps cells remove broken DNA and keep dividing for longer. In animals, the drug increases the lifespan of worms and prolongs the lives of mice who have mutations that make them age quicker. Qian, Liu et al. also demonstrate that ATM works by chemically altering the pro-longevity enzyme SIRT6. These changes make SIRT6 more stable, and keep it safe from cellular processes that destroy it. In addition, mice that are genetically engineered to lack ATM can survive for longer if they also produce extra SIRT6. These experiments show that enhancing the DNA damage response can slow down aging, thus linking the DNA repair machinery to longevity. Progeria is a group of rare genetic conditions with inefficient DNA repair; people with progeria age fast and die young. The results by Qian, Liu et al., if confirmed in humans, could provide a new way of treating these diseases.

Abstract
Summary Objective: To evaluate the carotid intima-media complex (CIMC) thickness and lipid metabolism biomarkers associated with cardiovascular risk (CR) in parents of patients with ataxia-telangiectasia and verify an association with gender. Method: A cross-sectional and controlled study with 29 ATM heterozygotes and 14 healthy controls. Biochemical tests and CIMC thickness measurement were performed. Results: The mean CIMC measurement in heterozygous ATM was 0.72 ± 0.1 mm (minimum: 0.5 mm and maximum: 1.0 mm). Noticed high percentage of amounts above 75 percentile compared to the population referential (16 [76.2%]), without any significant statistical differences between the female and the male gender (11/15 [73.3%] vs. 5/6 [83.3%]; p=0.550). The comparison between heterozygous and controls, stratified by gender, showed that in heterozygous ATMs, women had higher concentrations of HDL-c compared to men, as well as higher values of hs-CRP in relation to the control women. In heterozygous ATMs, stratified by gender, the correlation between HDL-c and hs-CRP was inversely proportional and stronger among women, with a tendency to statistical significance. Conclusion: Heterozygous ATMs did not differ from controls in relation to the biomarkers studied related to CR. However, most of them presented increased CIMC, independent predictor of death, risk for myocardial infarction and stroke, compared to the referential for the same age group. This finding suggests CR in the heterozygous ATM and shows to the need to monitor CIMC thickness and nutritional orientations.

Abstract
The ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein kinase has been extensively studied for its role in the DNA damage response and its association with the disease ataxia telangiectasia. There is increasing evidence that ATM also plays an important role in other cellular processes, including carbon metabolism. Carbon metabolism is highly dysregulated in cancer due to the increased need for cellular biomass. A number of recent studies report a non-canonical role for ATM in the regulation of carbon metabolism. This review highlights what is currently known about ATM's regulation of carbon metabolism, the implication of these pathways in cancer, and the development of ATM inhibitors as therapeutic strategies for cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) a multisystem disorder primarily characterized by cerebellar degeneration, telangiectasia, immunodeficiency, cancer susceptibility and radiation sensitivity. Identification of the gene defective in this syndrome, ataxia-telangiectasia mutated gene (ATM), and further characterization of the disorder together with a greater insight into the function of the ATM protein have expanded our knowledge about the molecular pathogenesis of this disease. Area covered: In this review, we have attempted to summarize the different roles of ATM signaling that have provided new insights into the diverse clinical phenotypes exhibited by A-T patients. Expert commentary: ATM, in addition to DNA repair response, is involved in many cytoplasmic roles that explain diverse phenotypes of A-T patients. It seems accumulation of DNA damage, persistent DNA damage response signaling, and chronic oxidative stress are the main players in the pathogenesis of this disease.

A rat model of ataxia-telangiectasia: evidence for a neurodegenerative phenotype. Hum Mol Genet 2017; 26:109-123.

Abstract
Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the ATM gene is characterised by cerebellar atrophy and progressive neurodegeneration which has been poorly recapitulated in Atm mutant mice. Consequently, pathways leading to neurodegeneration in A-T are poorly understood. We describe here the generation of an Atm knockout rat model that does not display cerebellar atrophy but instead paralysis and spinal cord atrophy, reminiscent of that seen in older patients and milder forms of the disorder. Loss of Atm in neurons and glia leads to accumulation of cytosolic DNA, increased cytokine production and constitutive activation of microglia consistent with a neuroinflammatory phenotype. Rats lacking ATM had significant loss of motor neurons and microgliosis in the spinal cord, consistent with onset of paralysis. Since short term treatment with steroids has been shown to improve the neurological signs in A-T patients we determined if that was also the case for Atm-deficient rats. Betamethasone treatment extended the lifespan of Atm knockout rats, prevented microglial activation and significantly decreased neuroinflammatory changes and motor neuron loss. These results point to unrepaired damage to DNA leading to significant levels of cytosolic DNA in Atm-deficient neurons and microglia and as a consequence activation of the cGAS-STING pathway and cytokine production. This in turn would increase the inflammatory microenvironment leading to dysfunction and death of neurons. Thus the rat model represents a suitable one for studying neurodegeneration in A-T and adds support for the use of anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of neurodegeneration in A-T patients.

Abstract
A-T is a prototype genome instability syndrome and a multifaceted disease. A-T leads to neurodegeneration - primarily cerebellar atrophy, immunodeficiency, oculocutaneous telangiectasia (dilated blood vessels), vestigial thymus and gonads, endocrine abnormalities, cancer predisposition and varying sensitivity to DNA damaging agents, particularly those that induce DNA double-strand breaks. With the recent increase in life expectancy of A-T patients, the premature ageing component of this disease is gaining greater awareness. The complex A-T phenotype reflects the ever growing number of functions assigned to the protein encoded by the responsible gene - the homeostatic protein kinase, ATM. The quest to thoroughly understand the complex A-T phenotype may reveal yet elusive ATM functions.

Abstract
The genome is constantly attacked by a variety of genotoxic insults. The causal role for DNA damage in aging and cancer is exemplified by genetic defects in DNA repair that underlie a broad spectrum of acute and chronic human disorders that are characterized by developmental abnormalities, premature aging, and cancer predisposition. The disease symptoms are typically tissue-specific with uncertain genotype-phenotype correlation. The cellular DNA damage response (DDR) has been extensively investigated ever since yeast geneticists discovered DNA damage checkpoint mechanisms, several decades ago. In recent years, it has become apparent that not only cell-autonomous but also systemic DNA damage responses determine the outcome of genome instability in organisms. Understanding the mechanisms of non-cell-autonomous DNA damage responses will provide important new insights into the role of genome instability in human aging and a host of diseases including cancer and might better explain the complex phenotypes caused by genome instability.
