Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a global public health problem, and limited information is available on the effects of Cd on OA. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between Cd and OA. METHOD Weighted multivariable logistic regression model, trend test, restricted cubic spline, and stratified analysis were used to study the association between BCd and OA. RESULTS In the two regression models of weighted multivariable logistic regression analysis, the correlation between BCd and OA was positive. Compared with the lowest quartile of BCd exposure, the highest quartile had a 2.03-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.67 to 2.47), displaying a dose-response relationship (P for trend <0.00001). The restrictive cubic spline shows a positive linear relationship between BCd and OA. CONCLUSION There was a positive linear relationship between BCd and OA and a dose-response relationship.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is an important environmental pollutant that poses a threat to human health and represents a critical component of air pollutants, food sources, and cigarette smoke. Cd is a known carcinogen and has toxic effects on the environment and various organs in humans. Heavy metals within an organism are difficult to biodegrade, and those that enter the respiratory tract are difficult to remove. Autophagy is a key mechanism for counteracting extracellular (microorganisms and foreign bodies) or intracellular (damaged organelles and proteins that cannot be degraded by the proteasome) stress and represents a self-protective mechanism for eukaryotes against heavy metal toxicity. Autophagy maintains cellular homeostasis by isolating and gathering information about foreign chemicals associated with other molecular events. However, autophagy may trigger cell death under certain pathological conditions, including cancer. Autophagy dysfunction is one of the main mechanisms underlying Cd-induced cytotoxicity. In this review, the toxic effects of Cd-induced autophagy on different human organ systems were evaluated, with a focus on hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, respiratory toxicity, and neurotoxicity. This review also highlighted the classical molecular pathways of Cd-induced autophagy, including the ROS-dependent signaling pathways, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway, Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, Beclin-1 and Bcl-2 family, and recently identified molecules associated with Cd. Moreover, research directions for Cd toxicity regarding autophagic function were proposed. This review presents the latest theories to comprehensively reveal autophagy behavior in response to Cd toxicity and proposes novel potential autophagy-targeted prevention and treatment strategies for Cd toxicity and Cd-associated diseases in humans.

Abstract
Sirtuins and autophagy are well-characterized agents that can promote longevity and protect individual organisms from age-associated diseases like neurodegenerative disorders. In recent years, more and more data has been obtained that discerned potential overlaps and crosstalk between Sirtuin proteins and autophagic activity. This review aims to summarize the advances within the field for each individual Sirtuin in mammalian systems. In brief, most Sirtuins have been implicated in promoting autophagy, with Sirtuin 1 and Sirtuin 6 showing the highest immediate involvement, while Sirtuin 4 and Sirtuin 5 only demonstrate occasional influence. The way Sirtuins regulate autophagy, however, is very diverse, as they have been shown to regulate gene expression of autophagy-associated genes and posttranslational modifications of proteins, with consequences for the activity and cellular localization of these proteins. They have also been shown to determine specific proteins for autophagic degradation. Overall, much data has been accumulated over recent years, yet many open questions remain. Especially although the dynamic between Sirtuin proteins and the immediate regulation of autophagic players like Light Chain 3B has been confirmed, many of these proteins have various orthologues in mammalian systems, and research so far has not exceeded the bona fide components of autophagy.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread toxic pollutant that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Cd exposure in humans occurs primarily through consumption of contaminated food and water, cigarette smoking, and industrial applications. The kidney proximal tubular (PT) epithelial cells are the primary target of Cd toxicity. Cd-induced injury to PT cells impedes tubular reabsorption. Despite the many long-term sequelae of Cd exposure, molecular mechanisms of Cd toxicity are poorly understood, and no specific therapies exist to mitigate the effects of Cd exposure. In this review, we summarize recent work linking Cd-mediated damage to epigenetic perturbations - DNA methylation, and levels of histone modifications, including methylation and acetylation. New insights into the links between Cd intoxication and epigenetic damage will contribute to an improved understanding of Cd's pleiotropic impacts on cells, and perhaps lead to new, mechanism-based treatments for this condition.

Abstract
Environmental and occupational exposure to cadmium has been shown to induce kidney damage, liver injury, neurodegenerative disease, and osteoporosis. However, the mechanism by which cadmium induces autophagy in these diseases remains unclear. Studies have shown that cadmium is an effective inducer of oxidative stress, DNA damage, ER stress, and autophagy, which are thought to be adaptive stress responses that allow cells exposed to cadmium to survive in an adverse environment. However, excessive stress will cause tissue damage by inducing apoptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis. Evidently, oxidative stress-induced autophagy plays different roles in low- or high-dose cadmium exposure-induced cell damage, either causing apoptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis or inducing cell survival. Meanwhile, different cell types have different sensitivities to cadmium, which ultimately determines the fate of the cell. In this review, we provided a detailed survey of the current literature on autophagy in cadmium-induced tissue damage. A better understanding of the complex regulation of cell death by autophagy might contribute to the development of novel preventive and therapeutic strategies to treat acute and chronic cadmium toxicity.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive disease that affects millions of adults every year. Major risk factors include diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, which affect millions of adults worldwide. CKD is characterized by cellular injury followed by permanent loss of functional nephrons. As injured cells die and nephrons become sclerotic, remaining healthy nephrons attempt to compensate by undergoing various structural, molecular, and functional changes. While these changes are designed to maintain appropriate renal function, they may lead to additional cellular injury and progression of disease. As CKD progresses and filtration decreases, the ability to eliminate metabolic wastes and environmental toxicants declines. The inability to eliminate environmental toxicants such as arsenic, cadmium, and mercury may contribute to cellular injury and enhance the progression of CKD. The present review describes major molecular alterations that contribute to the pathogenesis of CKD and the effects of arsenic, cadmium, and mercury on the progression of CKD.

Polydatin Attenuates Cisplatin-Induced Acute Kidney Injury via SIRT6-Mediated Autophagy Activation. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:9035547. [PMID: 36160707 PMCID: PMC9507782 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9035547] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 07/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
In the treatment of malignant tumors, the effectiveness of cisplatin (CP) is limited by its nephrotoxicity, leading to cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (CP-AKI). Polydatin (PD) has been demonstrated to regulate autophagy in tumors, sepsis, and diabetes. We have recently confirmed that PD attenuated CP-AKI by inhibiting ferroptosis, but it is not clear whether PD can regulate autophagy to protect from CP-AKI. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of PD on autophagy in CP-treated HK-2 cells and CP-AKI mouse models, exploring the role of sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) upregulated by PD. In this study, the blocking of autophagy flux was observed in both CP-treated HK-2 cells in vitro and CP-AKI mouse models in vivo, whereas this blocking was reversed by PD, which was characterized by the increase of autophagy microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 II expression and autophagolysosome/autophagosome ratio and the decrease of p62 expression. Furthermore, PD also significantly increased the expression of SIRT6 in vivo and in vitro. The protective effect of PD manifested by the stimulating of autophagy flux, with the reducing of inflammatory response and oxidative stress, which included downregulation of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β, decreased activity of myeloperoxidase and content of malondialdehyde, and increased activity of superoxide dismutase and level of glutathione, both in vivo and in vitro, was reversed by either inhibition of autophagy flux by chloroquine or downregulation of SIRT6 by OSS-128167. Taken together, the present findings provide the first evidence demonstrating that PD exhibited nephroprotective effects on CP-AKI by restoring SIRT6-mediated autophagy flux mechanisms.

The role of autophagy in cadmium-induced acute toxicity in glomerular mesangial cells and tracking polyubiquitination of cytoplasmic p53 as a biomarker. Exp Mol Med 2022; 54:685-696.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic environmental pollutant that can severely damage the kidneys. Here, we show that Cd-induced apoptosis is promoted by the cytoplasmic polyubiquitination of p53 (polyUb-p53), which is regulated by the polyubiquitination of SQSTM1/p62 (polyUb-p62) and autophagy in mouse kidney mesangial cells (MES13E cells). p53 was detected in monomeric and different high-molecular-weight (HMW) forms after Cd exposure. Monomeric p53 levels decreased in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. HMW-p53 transiently accumulated in the cytoplasm independent of proteasome inhibition. The expression patterns of p53 were similar to those of p62 upon Cd exposure, and the interactions between polyUb-p53 and polyUb-p62 were observed using immunoprecipitation. P62 knockdown reduced polyUb-p53 and upregulated nuclear monomeric p53, whereas p53 knockdown reduced polyUb-p62. Autophagy inhibition induced by ATG5 knockdown reduced Cd-induced polyUb-p62 and polyUb-p53 but upregulated the levels of nuclear p53. Pharmacological inhibition of autophagy by bafilomycin A1 increased polyUb-p62 and polyUb-p53 in the cytoplasm, indicating that p53 protein levels and subcellular localization were regulated by polyUb-p62 and autophagy. Immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence revealed an interaction between p53 and LC3B, indicating that p53 was taken up by autophagosomes. Cd-resistant RMES13E cells and kidney tissues from mice continuously injected with Cd had reduced polyUb-p53, polyUb-p62, and autophagy levels. Similar results were observed in renal cell carcinoma cell lines. These results indicate that cytoplasmic polyUb-p53 is a potential biomarker for Cd-induced acute toxicity in mesangial cells. In addition, upregulation of nuclear p53 may protect cells against Cd cytotoxicity, but abnormal p53 accumulation may contribute to tumor development. The cellular localization and chemical modification of a protein that acts as a critical safeguard against cellular damage may directly contribute to the toxic effects of cadmium. P53 is an essential tumor suppressor that is also involved in numerous other important biological functions. Ki-Tae Jung and Seon-Hee Oh of Chosun University, Gwangju, South Korea have now demonstrated that this protein also undergoes rapid changes in response to the environmental pollutant cadmium. P53 normally manages gene expression in the nucleus, but the authors found that it is rapidly shuttled to the cytoplasm and subjected to extensive chemical modification in cadmium-treated cultured kidney cells. This relocation appears to contribute directly to subsequent cell death, and the authors suggest that this P53 response could be an important biomarker for diagnosing human cadmium exposure.![]()

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs), a NAD+ family of dependent deacetylases, are involved in the regulation of various human diseases. Recently, accumulating evidence has uncovered number of substrates and crucial roles of SIRTs in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). However, systematic reports are still lacking, so this review provides a comprehensive profile of the crucial physiological functions of SIRTs and its role in attenuating ALD, including alcoholic liver steatosis, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis. SIRTs play beneficial roles in energy/lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, mitochondrial homeostasis, autophagy and necroptosis of ALD via regulating multiple signaling transduction pathways such as AMPK, LKB1, SREBP1, Lipin1, PGC-1α, PPARα/γ, FoxO1/3a, Nrf2/p62, mTOR, TFEB, RIPK1/3, HMGB1, NFATc4, NF-κB, TLR4, NLRP3, P2X7R, MAPK, TGF1β/Smads and Wnt/β-catenin. In addition, the mechanism and clinical application of natural/ synthetic SIRTs agonists in ALD are summarized, which provide a new idea for the treatment of ALD and basic foundation for further studies into target drugs.

SIRT6 stabilization and cytoplasmic localization in macrophages regulates acute and chronic inflammation in mice. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:101711.

Abstract
Acute and chronic inflammations are key homeostatic events in health and disease. Sirtuins (SIRTs), a family of NAD-dependent protein deacylases, play a pivotal role in the regulation of these inflammatory responses. Indeed, SIRTs have anti-inflammatory effects through a myriad of signaling cascades, including histone deacetylation and gene silencing, p65/RelA deacetylation and inactivation, and nucleotide‑binding oligomerization domain, leucine rich repeat, and pyrin domain‑containing protein 3 inflammasome inhibition. Nevertheless, recent findings show that SIRTs, specifically SIRT6, are also necessary for mounting an active inflammatory response in macrophages. SIRT6 has been shown to positively regulate tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) secretion by demyristoylating pro-TNFα in the cytoplasm. However, how SIRT6, a nuclear chromatin-binding protein, fulfills this function in the cytoplasm is currently unknown. Herein, we show by Western blot and immunofluorescence that in macrophages and fibroblasts there is a subpopulation of SIRT6 that is highly unstable and quickly degraded via the proteasome. Upon lipopolysaccharide stimulation in Raw 264.7, bone marrow, and peritoneal macrophages, this population of SIRT6 is rapidly stabilized and localizes in the cytoplasm, specifically in the vicinity of the endoplasmic reticulum, promoting TNFα secretion. Furthermore, we also found that acute SIRT6 inhibition dampens TNFα secretion both in vitro and in vivo, decreasing lipopolysaccharide-induced septic shock. Finally, we tested SIRT6 relevance in systemic inflammation using an obesity-induced chronic inflammatory in vivo model, where TNFα plays a key role, and we show that short-term genetic deletion of SIRT6 in macrophages of obese mice ameliorated systemic inflammation and hyperglycemia, suggesting that SIRT6 plays an active role in inflammation-mediated glucose intolerance during obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Binding IgE to a cognate allergen causes aggregation of Fcε receptor I (FcεRI) in mast cells, resulting in activation of receptor-associated Src family tyrosine kinases, including Lyn and Syk. Protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type C (PTPRC), also known as CD45, has emerged as a positive regulator of FcεRI signaling by dephosphorylation of the inhibitory tyrosine of Lyn. OBJECTIVE Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6), a NAD+-dependent deacetylase, exhibits an anti-inflammatory property. It remains to be determined, however, whether Sirt6 attenuates mast cell-associated diseases, including anaphylaxis. METHODS FcεRI signaling and mast cell degranulation were measured after IgE cross-linking in murine bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) and human cord blood-derived mast cells. To investigate the function of Sirt6 in mast cell activation in vivo, we used mast cell-dependent animal models of passive systemic anaphylaxis (PSA) and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA). RESULTS Sirt6-deficient BMMCs augmented IgE-FcεRI-mediated signaling and degranulation compared to wild-type BMMCs. Reconstitution of mast cell-deficient KitW-sh/W-sh mice with BMMCs received from Sirt6 knockout mice developed more severe PSA and PCA compared to mice engrafted with wild-type BMMCs. Similarly, genetic overexpression or pharmacologic activation of Sirt6 suppressed mast cell degranulation and blunted responses to PCA. Mechanistically, Sirt6 deficiency increased PTPRC transcription via acetylating histone H3, leading to enhanced aggregation of FcεRI in BMMCs. Finally, we recapitulated the Sirt6 regulation of PTPRC and FcεRI signaling in human mast cells. CONCLUSIONS Sirt6 acts as a negative regulator of FcεRI signaling cascade in mast cells by suppressing PTPRC transcription. Activation of Sirt6 may therefore represent a promising and novel therapeutic strategy for anaphylaxis.

Abstract
SIRT6 is an NAD+ dependent deacetylase that belongs to the mammalian sirtuin family. SIRT6 is mainly located in the nucleus and regulates chromatin remodeling, genome stability, and gene transcription. SIRT6 extensively participates in various physiological activities such as DNA repair, energy metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis. In recent years, the role of epigenetics such as acetylation modification in renal disease has gradually received widespread attention. SIRT6 reduces oxidative stress, inflammation, and renal fibrosis, which is of great importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis and delaying the chronic progression of kidney disease. Here, we review the structure and biological function of SIRT6 and summarize the regulatory mechanisms of SIRT6 in kidney disease. Moreover, the role of SIRT6 as a potential therapeutic target for the progression of kidney disease will be discussed. SIRT6 plays an important role in kidney disease. SIRT6 regulates mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial biogenesis, induces G2/M cycle arrest, and plays an antioxidant role in nephrotoxicity, IR, obstructive nephropathy, and sepsis-induced AKI. SIRT6 prevents and delays progressive CKD induced by hyperglycemia, kidney senescence, hypertension, and lipid accumulation by regulating mitochondrial biogenesis, and has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrosis effects. Additionally, hypoxia, inflammation, and fibrosis are the main mechanisms of the AKI-to-CKD transition. SIRT6 plays a critical role in the AKI-to-CKD transition and kidney repair through anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, and mitochondrial quality control mechanisms. AKI Acute kidney injury, CKD Chronic kidney disease.

JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2021; 2021:1262291. [PMID: 34557228 PMCID: PMC8455210 DOI: 10.1155/2021/1262291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Although the incidence of thyroid carcinoma has increased over the past several decades, it has an excellent prognosis and overall 5-year survival, with a stable mortality rate, except in cases with advanced stages or rare malignant tumor types. Biomarkers have emerged as effective targets of molecular therapy against thyroid carcinoma due to their rapid and convenient detection; however, there has been little clinical application. Macrophage stimulating 2 (Mst2) is a proapoptotic protein with implications in carcinogenesis and metastasis. We found that Mst2 overexpression-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in MDA-T32 thyroid carcinoma cells, accompanied by elevated caspase-12 activity, increased apoptotic rate, and reduced cell viability. In addition, Mst2 overexpression contributed to mitochondrial damage, as evidenced by increased mitochondrial oxidative stress and activated the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Inhibition of the JNK pathway abolished these effects. These results show Mst2 to be a novel tumor suppressor that induces mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress via the JNK pathway. Thus, Mst2 could potentially serve as a biomarker for developing targeted therapy against thyroid carcinoma.

Arch Toxicol 2021; 95:2263-2278. [PMID: 34028595 DOI: 10.1007/s00204-021-03048-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 04/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Metal dyshomeostasis, and especially overexposure, is known to cause adverse health effects due to modulation of a variety of metabolic pathways. An increasing body of literature has demonstrated that metal exposure may affect SIRT signaling, although the existing data are insufficient. Therefore, in this review we discuss the available data (PubMed-Medline, Google Scholar) on the influence of metal overload on sirtuin (SIRT) signaling and its association with other mechanisms involved in metal-induced toxicity. The existing data demonstrate that cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), aluminium (Al), hexavalent chromium (CrVI), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), and copper (Cu) can inhibit SIRT1 activity. In addition, an inhibitory effect of Cd, Pb, As, and Fe on SIRT3 has been demonstrated. In turn, metal-induced inhibition of SIRT was shown to affect deacetylation of target proteins including FOXO, PGC1α, p53 and NF-kB. Increased acetylation downregulates PGC1α signaling pathway, resulting in cellular altered redox status and increased susceptibility to oxidative stress, as well as decreased mitochondrial biogenesis. Lower rates of LKB1 deacetylation may be responsible for metal-induced decreases in AMPK activity and subsequent metabolic disturbances. A shift to the acetylated FOXO results in increased expression of pro-apoptotic genes which upregulates apoptosis together with increased p53 signaling. Correspondingly, decreased NF-kB deacetylation results in upregulation of target genes of proinflammatory cytokines, enzymes, and cellular adhesion molecules thus promoting inflammation. Therefore, alterations in sirtuin activity may at least partially mediate metal-induced metabolic disturbances that have been implicated in neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, and other toxic effects of heavy metals.

Abstract
The biological functions of sirtuin 6 (SIRT6; e.g., deacetylation, defatty-acylation, and mono-ADP-ribosylation) play a pivotal role in regulating lifespan and several fundamental processes controlling aging such as DNA repair, gene expression, and telomeric maintenance. Over the past decades, the aberration of SIRT6 has been extensively observed in diverse life-threatening human diseases. In this comprehensive review, we summarize the critical roles of SIRT6 in the onset and progression of human diseases including cancer, inflammation, diabetes, steatohepatitis, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, viral infections, renal and corneal injuries, as well as the elucidation of the related signaling pathways. Moreover, we discuss the advances in the development of small molecule SIRT6 modulators including activators and inhibitors as well as their pharmacological profiles toward potential therapeutics for SIRT6-mediated diseases.
