Bidooki SH, Navarro MA, Fernandes SCM, Osada J. Thioredoxin Domain Containing 5 (TXNDC5): Friend or Foe? Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:3134-3163. [PMID: 38666927 PMCID: PMC11049379 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46040197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This review focuses on the thioredoxin domain containing 5 (TXNDC5), also known as endoplasmic reticulum protein 46 (ERp46), a member of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family with a dual role in multiple diseases. TXNDC5 is highly expressed in endothelial cells, fibroblasts, pancreatic β-cells, liver cells, and hypoxic tissues, such as cancer endothelial cells and atherosclerotic plaques. TXNDC5 plays a crucial role in regulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and antioxidative stress. Its potential significance in cancer warrants further investigation, given the altered and highly adaptable metabolism of tumor cells. It has been reported that both high and low levels of TXNDC5 expression are associated with multiple diseases, such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, brain diseases, and infections, as well as worse prognoses. TXNDC5 has been attributed to both oncogenic and tumor-suppressive features. It has been concluded that in cancer, TXNDC5 acts as a foe and responds to metabolic and cellular stress signals to promote the survival of tumor cells against apoptosis. Conversely, in normal cells, TXNDC5 acts as a friend to safeguard cells against oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Therefore, TXNDC5 could serve as a viable biomarker or even a potential pharmacological target.

Glycolysis in human cancers: Emphasis circRNA/glycolysis axis and nanoparticles in glycolysis regulation in cancer therapy. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 234:116007. [PMID: 37119844 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
The metabolism of cancer has been an interesting hallmark and metabolic reprogramming, especially the change from oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria to glucose metabolism known as glycolysis occurs in cancer. The molecular profile of glycolysis, related molecular pathways and enzymes involved in this mechanism such as hexokinase have been fully understood. The glycolysis inhibition can significantly decrease tumorigenesis. On the other hand, circRNAs are new emerging non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecules with potential biological functions and aberrant expression in cancer cells which have received high attention in recent years. CircRNAs have a unique covalently closed loop structure which makes them highly stable and reliable biomarkers in cancer. CircRNAs are regulators of molecular mechanisms including glycolysis. The enzymes involved in the glycolysis mechanism such as hexokinase are regulated by circRNAs to modulate tumor progression. Induction of glycolysis by circRNAs can significantly increase proliferation rate of cancer cells given access to energy and enhance metastasis. CircRNAs regulating glycolysis can influence drug resistance in cancers because of theirimpact on malignancy of tumor cells upon glycolysis induction. TRIM44, CDCA3, SKA2 and ROCK1 are among the downstream targets of circRNAs in regulating glycolysis in cancer. Additionally, microRNAs are key regulators of glycolysis mechanism in cancer cells and can affect related molecular pathways and enzymes. CircRNAs sponge miRNAs to regulate glycolysis as a main upstream mediator. Moreover, nanoparticles have been emerged as new tools in tumorigenesis suppression and in addition to drug and gene delivery, then mediate cancer immunotherapy and can be used for vaccine development. The nanoparticles can delivery circRNAs in cancer therapy and they are promising candidates in regulation of glycolysis, its suppression and inhibition of related pathways such as HIF-1α. The stimuli-responsive nanoparticles and ligand-functionalized ones have been developed for selective targeting of glycolysis and cancer cells, and mediating carcinogenesis inhibition.

[PMID: 37200228 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.7863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
Curcumin, a natural polyphenol compound, has been identified as an effective therapeutic agent against cancer that exerts its anti-tumor activities by up/downregulating signaling mediators and modulating various cellular processes, including angiogenesis, autophagy, apoptosis, metastasis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Since almost 98% of genomic transcriptional production is noncoding RNAs in humans, there is evidence that curcumin exerts therapeutic effects through the alterations of noncoding RNAs in various types of cancers. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are formed by the back-splicing of immature mRNAs and have several functions, including functioning as miRNA sponges. It has been shown that curcumin modulated various circRNAs, including circ-HN1, circ-PRKCA, circPLEKHM3, circZNF83, circFNDC3B, circ_KIAA1199, circRUNX1, circ_0078710, and circ_0056618. The modulation of these circRNAs targeted the expression of mRNAs and modified various signaling pathways and hallmarks of cancer. In this article, we reviewed the pharmacokinetics of curcumin, its anti-cancer activities, as well as the biology and structure of circRNAs. Our main focus was on how curcumin exerts anti-cancer functions by modulating circRNAs and their target mRNAs and pathways.

Abstract
Significance: Diabetes has long been recognized as an independent risk factor for cancer, but there is insufficient mechanistic understanding of biological mediators that bridge two disorders together. Understanding the pathogenic association between diabetes and cancer has become the focus of many studies, and findings are potentially valuable for the development of effective preventive or therapeutic strategies for both disorders. Recent Advances: A summary of literature reveals a possible connection between diabetes and cancer through the family of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). Historical as well as the most recent findings on the structure, biochemistry, and biology of the PDI family were summarized in this review. Critical Issues: PDIs in general function as redox enzymes and protein chaperones to control the quality of proteins by correcting or otherwise eliminating misfolded proteins in conditions of oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress, respectively. However, individual members of the PDI family may contribute uniquely to the pathogenesis of diabetes and cancer. Studies of exemplary members such as protein disulfide isomerase-associated (PDIA) 1, PDIA6, and PDIA15 were reviewed to highlight their contributions in the pathogenesis of diabetes and cancer and how they can be potential links bridging the two disorders through the cross talk of signaling pathways. Future Directions: Apparently ubiquitous presence of the PDIs creates difficulties and challenges for scientific community to develop targeted therapeutics for the treatment of diabetes and cancer simultaneously. Understanding molecular contribution of individual PDI in the context of specific disease may provide some insights into the development of mechanism-based target-directed therapeutics. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 37, 1191-1205.

Abstract
Fluoride-induced liver injury seriously endangers human and animal health and animal food safety, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to explore the mechanism of miRNAs in fluoride-induced hepatic glycolipid metabolism disorders. C57 male mice were used to establish the fluorosis model (22.62 mg/L F-, 12 weeks). The results indicated that fluoride increased fluoride levels, impaired the structure and function, and disrupted the glycolipid metabolism in the liver. Furthermore, the sequencing results showed that fluoride exposure resulted in the differential expression of 35 miRNAs and 480 mRNAs, of which 23 miRNAs were related to glycolipid metabolism. miRNA-mRNA network analyses and RT-PCR revealed that miRNAs mediated fluoride-induced disturbances in the hepatic glycolipid metabolism. Its possible mechanism was to regulate the insulin pathway, PPAR pathway, and FOXO pathway, which in turn affected the bile secretion, the metabolic processes of glucose, the decomposition of lipids, and the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids in the liver. This study provides a theoretical basis for miRNAs as diagnostic indicators and target drugs for the treatment of fluoride-induced liver injury.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) appear to be crucial in the process of adipogenesis according to mounting data. CircSETBP1 is a newly discovered circRNA associated with adipogenesis. Sequencing verification and RNase R treatment have confirmed the circular nature of circSETBP1 in porcine tissue. The precise function and mechanism of circSETBP1 in adipocyte biology are still unclear. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8), Oil red O staining, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were employed in this investigation to reveal the functions of circSETBP1 and miR-149-5p in the growth and development of porcine intramuscular (IM) preadipocytes. CircSETBP1 overexpression accelerated cell differentiation while reducing cell proliferation. The opposite outcome was produced by overexpressing miR-149-5p. Meanwhile, circSETBP1 down-regulated the expression of miR-149-5p and miR-149-5p restrained the expression of CRTC1/CRTC2. CircSETBP1 was directly targeted by miR-149-5p, and CRTC1/CRTC2 were the target genes of miR-149-5p using bioinformatic analysis, the dual-Luciferase reporter system, and qRT-PCR. In conclusion, circSETBP1 controls the proliferation and differentiation of porcine IM preadipocytes and 3T3-L1 cells by regulating the miR-149-5p/CRTCs axis. The results of this study not only illuminate the molecular mechanism of circSETBP1/miR-149-5p involved in the deposition of porcine intramuscular fat (IMF), but they also provide a significant theoretical reference for raising quality of pork.
