Abstract
Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is a significant global health concern in veterinary medicine. There is increasing interest in utilizing molecular agents to modulate hepatocyte function for potential clinical applications. Recent studies have shown promising results in inhibiting protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP1B) to maintain cell function in various models. In this study, we investigated the effects of the inhibitor Trodusquemine (MSI-1436) on equine hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) under lipotoxic conditions. We examined proliferative activity, glucose uptake, and mitochondrial morphogenesis. Our study found that MSI-1436 promotes HPC entry into the cell cycle and protects them from palmitate-induced apoptosis by regulating mitochondrial dynamics and biogenesis. MSI-1436 also increases glucose uptake and protects HPCs from palmitate-induced stress by reorganizing the cells' morphological architecture. Furthermore, our findings suggest that MSI-1436 enhances 2-NBDG uptake by increasing the expression of SIRT1, which is associated with liver insulin sensitivity. It also promotes mitochondrial dynamics by modulating mitochondria quantity and morphotype as well as increasing the expression of PINK1, MFN1, and MFN2. Our study provides evidence that MSI-1436 has a positive impact on equine hepatic progenitor cells, indicating its potential therapeutic value in treating EMS and insulin dysregulation.

The PTP1B inhibitor MSI-1436 ameliorates liver insulin sensitivity by modulating autophagy, ER stress and systemic inflammation in Equine metabolic syndrome affected horses. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1149610. [PMID: 37020593 PMCID: PMC10067883 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1149610] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is a multifactorial pathology gathering insulin resistance, low-grade inflammation and past or chronic laminitis. Among the several molecular mechanisms underlying EMS pathogenesis, increased negative insulin signalling regulation mediated by protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 B (PTP1B) has emerged as a critical axis in the development of liver insulin resistance and general metabolic distress associated to increased ER stress, inflammation and disrupted autophagy. Thus, the use of PTP1B selective inhibitors such as MSI-1436 might be considered as a golden therapeutic tool for the proper management of EMS and associated conditions. Therefore, the present investigation aimed at verifying the clinical efficacy of MSI-1436 systemic administration on liver metabolic balance, insulin sensitivity and inflammatory status in EMS affected horses. Moreover, the impact of MSI-1436 treatment on liver autophagy machinery and associated ER stress in liver tissue has been analysed. METHODS Liver explants isolated from healthy and EMS horses have been treated with MSI-1436 prior to gene and protein expression analysis of main markers mediating ER stress, mitophagy and autophagy. Furthermore, EMS horses have been intravenously treated with a single dose of MSI-1436, and evaluated for their metabolic and inflammatory status. RESULTS Clinical application of MSI-1436 to EMS horses restored proper adiponectin levels and attenuated the typical hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. Moreover, administration of MSI-1436 further reduced the circulating levels of key pro-inflammatory mediators including IL-1β, TNF-α and TGF-β and triggered the Tregs cells activation. At the molecular level, PTP1B inhibition resulted in a noticeable mitigation of liver ER stress, improvement of mitochondrial dynamics and consequently, a regulation of autophagic response. Similarly, short-term ex vivo treatment of EMS liver explants with trodusquemine (MSI-1436) substantially enhanced autophagy by upregulating the levels of HSC70 and Beclin-1 at both mRNA and protein level. Moreover, the PTP1B inhibitor potentiated mitophagy and associated expression of MFN2 and PINK1. Interestingly, inhibition of PTP1B resulted in potent attenuation of ER stress key mediators' expression namely, CHOP, ATF6, HSPA5 and XBP1. CONCLUSION Presented findings shed for the first time promising new insights in the development of an MSI-1436-based therapy for proper equine metabolic syndrome intervention and may additionally find potential translational application to human metabolic syndrome treatment.

Abstract
Background To investigate the relationship between primary ovarian insufficiency and autophagy, we detected and got the expression profile of human granulosa cell line SVOG, which was with or without LPS induced. The expression profile was analyzed with the focus on the autophagy genes, among which hub genes were identified. Results Totally, 6 genes were selected as candidate hub genes which might correlate with the process of primary ovarian insufficiency. The expression of hub genes was then validated by quantitative real-time PCR and two of them had significant expression change. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to observe the features of hub genes, including hub gene-RBP/TF/miRNA/drug network construction, functional analysis, and protein-protein interaction network. Pearson's correlation analysis was also performed to identify the correlation between hub genes and autophagy genes, among which there were four autophagy genes significantly correlated with hub genes, including ATG4B, ATG3, ATG13, and ULK1. Conclusion The results indicated that autophagy might play an essential role in the process and underlying molecular mechanism of primary ovarian insufficiency, which was revealed for the first time and may help to provide a molecular foundation for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for primary ovarian insufficiency.

Abstract
Aging chronically increases endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress that contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction. Activation of calpain 1 (CPN1) impairs mitochondrial function during acute ER stress. We proposed that aging-induced ER stress led to mitochondrial dysfunction by activating CPN1. We posit that attenuation of the ER stress or direct inhibition of CPN1 in aged hearts can decrease cardiac injury during ischemia-reperfusion by improving mitochondrial function. Male young (3 mo) and aged mice (24 mo) were used in the present study, and 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) was used to decrease the ER stress in aged mice. Subsarcolemmal (SSM) and interfibrillar mitochondria (IFM) were isolated. Chronic 4-PBA treatment for 2 wk decreased CPN1 activation as shown by the decreased cleavage of spectrin in cytosol and apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) and the α1 subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) in mitochondria. Treatment improved oxidative phosphorylation in 24-mo-old SSM and IFM at baseline compared with vehicle. When 4-PBA-treated 24-mo-old hearts were subjected to ischemia-reperfusion, infarct size was decreased. These results support that attenuation of the ER stress decreased cardiac injury in aged hearts by improving mitochondrial function before ischemia. To challenge the role of CPN1 as an effector of the ER stress, aged mice were treated with MDL-28170 (MDL, an inhibitor of calpain 1). MDL treatment improved mitochondrial function in aged SSM and IFM. MDL-treated 24-mo-old hearts sustained less cardiac injury following ischemia-reperfusion. These results support that age-induced ER stress augments cardiac injury during ischemia-reperfusion by impairing mitochondrial function through activation of CPN1.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) hosts linear polypeptides and fosters natural folding of proteins through ER-residing chaperones and enzymes. Failure of the ER to align and compose proper protein architecture leads to accumulation of misfolded/unfolded proteins in the ER lumen, which disturbs ER homeostasis to provoke ER stress. Presence of ER stress initiates the cytoprotective unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore ER homeostasis or instigates a rather maladaptive UPR to promote cell death. Although a wide array of cellular processes such as persistent autophagy, dysregulated mitophagy, and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines may contribute to the onset and progression of cardiometabolic diseases, it is well perceived that ER stress also evokes the onset and development of cardiometabolic diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes mellitus, obesity, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Meanwhile, these pathological conditions further aggravate ER stress, creating a rather vicious cycle. Here in this review, we aimed at summarizing and updating the available information on ER stress in CVDs, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and CKD, hoping to offer novel insights for the management of these cardiometabolic comorbidities through regulation of ER stress.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular diseases such as ischemic stroke, brain hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage provoke cardiac complications such as heart failure, neurogenic stress-related cardiomyopathy and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. With regards to the pathophysiology of stroke-induced heart injury, several mechanisms have been postulated to contribute to this complex interaction between brain and heart, including damage from gut dysbiosis, immune and systematic inflammatory responses, microvesicle- and microRNA-mediated vascular injury and damage from a surge of catecholamines. All these cerebrovascular diseases may trigger pronounced catecholamine surges through diverse ways, including stimulation of hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis, dysregulation of autonomic system, and secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone. Primary catecholamines involved in this pathophysiological response include norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine. Both are important neurotransmitters that connect the nervous system with the heart, leading to cardiac damage via myocardial ischemia, calcium (Ca2+) overload, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. In this review, we will aim to summarize the molecular mechanisms behind catecholamine-induced cardiotoxicity including Ca2+ overload, oxidative stress, apoptosis, cardiac hypertrophy, interstitial fibrosis, and inflammation. In addition, we will focus on how synchronization among these pathways evokes cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress contributes to endothelial dysfunction, which is the initial step in atherogenesis. Blockade of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)1B, a negative regulator of insulin receptors that is critically located on the surface of ER membrane, has been found to improve endothelial dysfunction. However, the role of ER stress and its related apoptotic sub‑pathways in PTP1B‑mediated endothelial dysfunction, particularly its angiogenic capacity, have not yet been fully elucidated. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the impact of PTP1B suppression on ER stress‑mediated impaired angiogenesis and examined the contribution of apoptotic signals in this process. Endothelial cells were exposed to pharmacological ER stressors, including thapsigargin (TG) or 1,4‑dithiothreitol (DTT), in the presence or absence of a PTP1B inhibitor or small interfering (si)RNA duplexes. Then, ER stress, angiogenic capacity, cell cycle, apoptosis and the activation of key apoptotic signals were assessed. It was identified that the inhibition of PTP1B prevented ER stress caused by DTT and TG. Moreover, ER stress induction impaired the activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and the angiogenic capacity of endothelial cells, while PTP1B inhibition exerted a protective effect. The results demonstrated that blockade or knockdown of PTP1B prevented ER stress‑induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. This effect was associated with reduced expression levels of caspase‑12 and poly (ADP‑Ribose) polymerase 1. PTP1B blockade also suppressed autophagy activated by TG. The current data support the critical role of PTP1B in ER stress‑mediated endothelial dysfunction, characterized by reduced angiogenic capacity, with an underlying mechanism involving reduced eNOS activation and cell survival. These findings provide evidence of the therapeutic potential of targeting PTP1B in cardiovascular ischemic conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore whether icarrin (ICA) can protect cardiomyocytes from hypertension-induced damage by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). METHODS Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) were orally administered water or ICA at 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg once daily for 12 weeks, and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats were used as control. Changes in the growth and blood pressure of rats were assessed. Cardiac function was determined by ultrasound and the left ventricle mass was calculated. Myocardial tissue structure was assessed by haematoxylin and eosin staining, cardiomyocyte apoptosis was observed by TUNEL staining and the expression of ERS-related proteins was determined by western blotting. RESULTS In the SHR group, blood pressure was significantly high, left ventricular function decreased and left ventricular mass index increased. Additionally, left ventricular cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, disordered myofilament arrangement and increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis were observed by histological staining. ERS-induced proteins associated with apoptosis, including GRP78, PERK, ATF-6, ATF-4, CHOP, DR5, Caspase 12, c-JUN and ASK-1 were found to be highly expressed. ICA treatment reduced blood pressure and regulated the expression of proteins induced by ERS. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis decreased and left ventricular function improved. CONCLUSIONS ICA can inhibit ERS-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and protect ventricular function in SHR.

Abstract
Insulin receptors are highly expressed in the heart and vasculature. Insulin signaling regulates cardiac growth, survival, substrate uptake, utilization, and mitochondrial metabolism. Insulin signaling modulates the cardiac responses to physiological and pathological stressors. Altered insulin signaling in the heart may contribute to the pathophysiology of ventricular remodeling and heart failure progression. Myocardial insulin signaling adapts rapidly to changes in the systemic metabolic milieu. What may initially represent an adaptation to protect the heart from carbotoxicity may contribute to amplifying the risk of heart failure in obesity and diabetes. This review article presents the multiple roles of insulin signaling in cardiac physiology and pathology and discusses the potential therapeutic consequences of modulating myocardial insulin signaling.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as ischaemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis, hypertension, stroke and heart failure, are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although specific CVDs and the associated cardiometabolic abnormalities have distinct pathophysiological and clinical manifestations, they often share common traits, including disruption of proteostasis resulting in accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). ER proteostasis is governed by the unfolded protein response (UPR), a signalling pathway that adjusts the protein-folding capacity of the cell to sustain the cell's secretory function. When the adaptive UPR fails to preserve ER homeostasis, a maladaptive or terminal UPR is engaged, leading to the disruption of ER integrity and to apoptosis. ER stress functions as a double-edged sword, with long-term ER stress resulting in cellular defects causing disturbed cardiovascular function. In this Review, we discuss the distinct roles of the UPR and ER stress response as both causes and consequences of CVD. We also summarize the latest advances in our understanding of the importance of the UPR and ER stress in the pathogenesis of CVD and discuss potential therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring ER proteostasis in CVDs.

Abstract
Pressure overload-induced hypertrophic remodeling is a critical pathological process leading to heart failure (HF). Suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS3) has been demonstrated to protect against cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction, but its mechanisms are largely unknown. Using primary cardiomyocytes and cardiac-specific SOCS3 knockout (SOCS3cko) or overexpression mice, we demonstrated that modulation of SOCS3 level influenced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, apoptosis and cardiac dysfunction induced by hypertrophic stimuli. We found that glucose regulatory protein 78 (GRP78) was a direct target of SOCS3, and that overexpression of SOCS3 inhibited cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and apoptosis through promoting proteasomal degradation of GRP78, thereby inhibiting activation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitophagy in the heart. Thus, our results uncover SOCS3-GRP78-mediated ER stress as a novel mechanism in the transition from cardiac hypertrophy to HF induced by sustained pressure overload, and suggest that modulating this pathway may provide a new therapeutic approach for hypertrophic heart diseases.

PTP1B inhibitor alleviates deleterious microglial activation and neuronal injury after ischemic stroke by modulating the ER stress-autophagy axis via PERK signaling in microglia.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (IR) after ischemic stroke causes deleterious microglial activation. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) exacerbates neuroinflammation, yet the effect of the inhibition on microglial activation and cerebral IR injury is unknown. A cerebral IR rat model was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and reperfusion. The PTP1B inhibitor, sc-222227, was administered intracerebroventricularly. Neurologic deficits, infarct volume, and brain water content were examined. An in vitro oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model was established in primary microglia and BV-2 cells. Microglial activation/polarization, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, autophagy, and apoptosis were detected using western blot, immunohistology, ELISA, and real-time PCR. Protein interaction was assessed by a proximity ligation assay. The results showed a significant increase in microglial PTP1B expression after IR injury. Sc-222227 attenuated IR-induced microglial activation, ER stress, and autophagy and promoted M2 polarization. Upon OGD/R, sc-222227 mitigated microglial activation by inhibiting ER stress-dependent autophagy, the effect of which was abolished by PERK activation, and PERK inhibition attenuated microglial activation. The PTP1B-phosphorylated PERK protein interaction was significantly increased after OGD/R, but decreased upon sc-222227 treatment. Finally, sc-222227 mitigated neuronal damage and neurologic deficits after IR injury. Treatment targeting microglial PTP1B might be a potential therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cold exposure provokes cardiac remodeling and cardiac dysfunction. Autophagy participates in cold stress-induced cardiovascular dysfunction. This study was designed to examine the impact of Beclin1 haploinsufficiency (BECN+/-) in cold stress-induced cardiac geometric and contractile responses. METHODS AND MATERIALS Wild-type (WT) and BECN+/- mice were assigned to normal or cold exposure (4 °C) environment for 4 weeks prior to evaluation of cardiac geometry, contractile and mitochondrial properties. Autophagy, apoptosis and ferroptosis were evaluated. RESULTS Our data revealed that cold stress triggered cardiac remodeling, compromised myocardial contractile capacity including ejection fraction, fractional shortening, peak shortening and maximal velocity of shortening/relengthening, duration of shortening and relengthening, intracellular Ca2+ release, intracellular Ca2+ decay, mitochondrial ultrastructural disarray, superoxide production, unchecked autophagy, apoptosis and ferroptosis, the effects of which were negated by Beclin1 haploinsufficiency. Circulating levels of corticosterone were elevated in both WT and BECN+/- mice. Treatment of corticosterone synthesis inhibitor metyrapone or ferroptosis inhibitor liproxstatins-1 rescued cold stress-induced cardiac dysfunction and mitochondrial injury. In vitro study noted that corticosterone challenge compromised cardiomyocyte function, provoked lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial injury, the effects of which were nullified by Beclin1 haploinsufficiency, inhibitors of lipoxygenase, ferroptosis and autophagy. In addition, ferroptosis inducer erastin abrogated Beclin1 deficiency-offered cardioprotection. CONCLUSION These data suggest that Beclin1 haploinsufficiency protects against cold exposure-induced cardiac dysfunction possibly through corticosterone- and ferroptosis-mediated mechanisms.

[PMID: 33045249 DOI: 10.1016/j.mad.2020.111380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2020] [Revised: 09/17/2020] [Accepted: 10/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Severity of cardiovascular disease increases markedly in elderly patients. In addition, many therapeutic strategies that decrease cardiac injury in adult patients are invalid in elderly patients. Thus, it is a challenge to protect the aged heart in the context of underlying chronic or acute cardiac diseases including ischemia-reperfusion injury. The cause(s) of this age-related increased damage remain unknown. Aging impairs the function of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), leading to decreased energy production and increased oxidative stress due to generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Additionally, ROS-induced oxidative stress can increase cardiac injury during ischemia-reperfusion by potentiating mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening. Aging leads to increased endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, including reduced function of the ETC. The activation of both cytosolic and mitochondrial calcium-activated proteases termed calpains leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and decreased ETC function. Intriguingly, mitochondrial ROS generation also induces ER stress, highlighting the dynamic interaction between mitochondria and ER. Here, we discuss the role of ER stress in sensitizing and potentiating mitochondrial dysfunction in response to ischemia-reperfusion, and the promising potential therapeutic benefit of inhibition of ER stress and / or calpains to attenuate cardiac injury in elderly patients.

Abstract
Aging impairs the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), especially in interfibrillar mitochondria (IFM). Mitochondria are in close contact with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Induction of ER stress leads to ETC injury in adult heart mitochondria. We asked if ER stress contributes to the mitochondrial dysfunction during aging. Subsarcolemmal mitochondria (SSM) and IFM were isolated from 3, 18, and 24 mo. C57Bl/6 mouse hearts. ER stress progressively increased with age, especially in 24 mo. mice that manifest mitochondrial dysfunction. OXPHOS was decreased in 24 mo. IFM oxidizing complex I and complex IV substrates. Proteomic analysis showed that the content of multiple complex I subunits was decreased in IFM from 24 mo. hearts, but remained unchanged in in 18 mo. IFM without a decrease in OXPHOS. Feeding 24 mo. old mice with 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) for two weeks attenuated the ER stress and improved mitochondrial function. These results indicate that ER stress contributes to the mitochondrial dysfunction in aged hearts. Attenuation of ER stress is a potential approach to improve mitochondrial function in aged hearts.

Abstract
In different pathological situations, cardiac cells undergo hyperosmotic stress and cell shrinkage. This change in cellular volume has been associated with contractile dysfunction and cell death. However, the intracellular mechanisms involved in hyperosmotic stress-induced cell death have not been investigated in depth in adult cardiac myocytes. Given that osmotic stress has been shown to promote endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), a recognized trigger for apoptosis, we examined whether hyperosmotic stress triggers ERS in adult cardiac myocytes and if so whether this mechanism mediates hyperosmotic stress-induced cell death. Adult rat cardiomyocytes cultured overnight in a hypertonic solution (HS) containing mannitol as the osmolite, showed increased expression of ERS markers, GRP78, CHOP and cleaved-Caspase-12, compared with myocytes in isotonic solution (IS), suggesting that hyperosmotic stress induces ERS. In addition, HS significantly reduced cell viability and increased TUNEL staining and the expression of active Caspase-3, indicative of apoptosis. These effects were prevented with the addition of the ERS inhibitor, 4-PBA, indicating that hyperosmotic stress-induced apoptosis is mediated by ERS. Hyperosmotic stress-induced apoptosis was also prevented when cells were cultured in the presence of a Ca2+-chelating agent (EGTA) or the CaMKII inhibitor (KN93), suggesting that hyperosmotic stress-induced ERS is mediated by a Ca2+ and CaMKII-dependent mechanism. Similar results were observed when hyperosmotic stress was induced using glucose as the osmolite. We conclude that hyperosmotic stress promotes ERS by a CaMKII-dependent mechanism leading to apoptosis of adult cardiomyocytes. More importantly, we demonstrate that hyperosmotic stress-triggered ERS contributes to hyperglycemia-induced cell death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), an outer membrane component of Gram-negative bacteria, triggers myocardial anomalies in sepsis. Recent findings indicated a role for inflammatory cytokine MIF and its receptor, CD74, in septic organ injury, although little is known of the role of MIF-CD74 in septic cardiomyopathy. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH This study evaluated the impact of CD74 ablation on endotoxaemia-induced cardiac anomalies. Echocardiographic, cardiomyocyte contractile and intracellular Ca2+ properties were examined. KEY RESULTS Our data revealed compromised cardiac function (lower fractional shortening, enlarged LV end systolic diameter, decreased peak shortening, maximal velocity of shortening/relengthening, prolonged duration of relengthening and intracellular Ca2+ mishandling) and ultrastructural derangement associated with inflammation, O2 - production, apoptosis, excess autophagy, phosphorylation of AMPK and JNK and dampened mTOR phosphorylation. These effects were attenuated or mitigated by CD74 knockout. LPS challenge also down-regulated Skp2, an F-box component of Skp1/Cullin/F-box protein-type ubiquitin ligase, while up-regulating that of SUV39H1 and H3K9 methylation of the Bcl2 protein BCLB. These effects were reversed by CD74 ablation. In vitro study revealed that LPS facilitated GFP-LC3B formation and cardiomyocyte defects. These effects were prevented by CD74 ablation. Interestingly, the AMPK activator AICAR, the autophagy inducer rapamycin and the demethylation inhibitor difenoconazole inhibited the effects of CD74 ablation against LPS-induced cardiac dysfunction, while the SUV39H1 inhibitor chaetocin or methylation inhibitor 5-AzaC ameliorated LPS-induced GFP-LC3B formation and cardiomyocyte contractile dysfunction. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Our data suggested that CD74 ablation protected against LPS-induced cardiac anomalies, O2 - production, inflammation and apoptosis through suppression of autophagy in a Skp2-SUV39H1-mediated mechanism.

Abstract
Introduction: Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) are involved in the septic inflammatory response. Their inhibition is associated with improved survival in murine models of sepsis. The objective was to describe PTP1B and ERS expression during septic shock in human. Material and Methods: Prospective study including patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) for septic shock. Blood samples were collected on days 1 (D1), 3 and 5 (D5). Quantitative PCR (performed from whole blood) evaluated the expression of genes coding for PTP1B (PTPN1) and key elements of ERS (GRP78, ATF6, CHOP) or for endothelial dysfunction-related markers (ICAM1 and ET1). We analyzed gene variation between D5 and D1, collected glycemic parameters, insulin resistance and organ failure was evaluated by Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. Results: We included 44 patients with a mean SAPS II 50 ± 16 and a mortality rate of 13.6%. Between D1 and D5, there was a significant decrease of PTPN1 (p < 0.001) and ATF6 (p < 0.001) expressions. Their variations of expression were correlated with SOFA variation (PTPN1, r = 0.35, CI 95% [0.05; 0.54], p = 0.03 and ATF6, r = 0.45 CI 95% [0.20; 0.65], p < 0.001). We did not find any correlation between PTPN1 expression and insulin resistance or glycemic parameters. Between D1 and D5, ATF6 and PTPN1 expressions were correlated with that of ET1. Conclusions: Our study has evaluated for the first time the expression of PTP1B and ERS in patients with septic shock, revealing that gene expression variation of PTPN1 and ATF6 are partly correlated with the evolution of septic organ failure and with endothelial dysfunction markers expression.

Insulin Resistance-Related Proteins Are Overexpressed in Patients and Rats Treated With Olanzapine and Are Reverted by Pueraria in the Rat Model. J Clin Psychopharmacol 2019; 39:214-219.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Olanzapine, a commonly used second-generation antipsychotic, causes severe metabolic adverse effects, such as elevated blood glucose and insulin resistance (IR). Previous studies have proposed that overexpression of CD36, GGPPS, PTP-1B, GRK2, and adipose triglyceride lipase may contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome, and Pueraria could eliminate the metabolic adverse effects. The study aimed to investigate the association between olanzapine-associated IR and IR-related proteins (IRRPs) and determine the role of Pueraria in protection against the metabolic adverse effects of olanzapine. METHODS The expression levels of IRRPs were examined in schizophrenia patients and rat models with long-term olanzapine treatment. The efficacy of Pueraria on anti-IR by reducing the expression of IRRPs was comprehensively evaluated. RESULTS Our study demonstrated that in schizophrenia patients chronically treated with olanzapine, the expression levels of IRRPs in patients with a high IR index significantly increased, and these phenomena were further confirmed in a rat model. The expression levels of IRRPs were reduced significantly in Pueraria-treated IR rat models. The body weight, blood glucose, and IR index were restored to levels similar to those of normal controls. CONCLUSIONS The IRRPs are closely related to IR induced by olanzapine, and Pueraria could interfere with olanzapine-associated IR and revert overexpressed IRRPs. These findings suggest that IRRPs are key players in olanzapine-associated IR and that Pueraria has potential as a clinical drug to prevent the metabolic adverse effects of olanzapine, further improving compliance of schizophrenia patients.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction is a key feature of cardiovascular disorders associated with obesity and diabetes. Several studies identified protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-1B, a member of the PTP superfamily, as a major negative regulator for insulin receptor signaling and a novel molecular player in endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease. Unlike other anti-diabetic approaches, genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of PTP1B was found to improve glucose homeostasis and insulin signaling without causing lipid buildup in the liver, which represents an advantage over existing therapies. Furthermore, PTP1B was reported to contribute to cardiovascular disturbances, at various molecular levels, which places this enzyme as a unique single therapeutic target for both diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. Synthesizing selective small molecule inhibitors for PTP1B is faced with multiple challenges linked to its similarity of sequence with other PTPs; however, overcoming these challenges would pave the way for novel approaches to treat diabetes and its concurrent cardiovascular complications. In this review article, we summarized the major roles of PTP1B in cardiovascular disease with special emphasis on endothelial dysfunction and its interplay with insulin resistance. Furthermore, we discussed some of the major challenges hindering the synthesis of selective inhibitors for PTP1B.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and worldwide. The induction of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, a result of a disruption in the ER homeostasis, was found to be highly associated with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, ischemic heart diseases and heart failure. This review will discuss the latest literature on the different aspects of the involvement of the ER stress in cardiovascular complications and the potential of targeting the ER stress pathways as a new therapeutic approach for cardiovascular complications.

J Cell Mol Med 2019; 23:4640-4652. [PMID: 31104354 PMCID: PMC6584723 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.14375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2019] [Revised: 03/14/2019] [Accepted: 04/09/2019] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Hypertension contributes to the high cardiac morbidity and mortality. Although oxidative stress plays an essential role in hypertensive heart diseases, the mechanism remains elusive. Transgenic mice with cardiac overexpression of metallothionein, a heavy metal‐binding scavenger, were challenged with NG‐nitro‐L‐arginine methyl ester (L‐NAME) for 14 days prior to measurement of myocardial contractile and intracellular Ca2+ anomalies as well as cell signalling mechanisms using Western blot and immunofluorescence analysis. L‐NAME challenge elicited hypertension, macrophage infiltration, oxidative stress, inflammation and cardiac dysfunction manifested as increased proinflammatory macrophage marker F4/80, interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β), intracellular O2- production, LV end systolic and diastolic diameters as well as depressed fractional shortening. L‐NAME treatment reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), impaired cardiomyocyte contractile and intracellular Ca2+ properties as evidenced by suppressed peak shortening, maximal velocity of shortening/relengthening, rise in intracellular Ca2+, along with elevated baseline and peak intracellular Ca2+. These unfavourable mechanical changes and decreased MMP (except blood pressure and macrophage infiltration) were alleviated by overexpression of metallothionein. Furthermore, the apoptosis markers including BAD, Bax, Caspase 9, Caspase 12 and cleaved Caspase 3 were up‐regulated while the anti‐apoptotic marker Bcl‐2 was decreased by L‐NAME treatment. Metallothionein transgene reversed L‐NAME‐induced changes in Bax, Bcl‐2, BAD phosphorylation, Caspase 9, Caspase 12 and cleaved Caspase 3. Our results suggest that metallothionein protects against L‐NAME‐induced myocardial contractile anomalies in part through inhibition of apoptosis.

Mitochondrial ALDH2 protects against lipopolysaccharide-induced myocardial contractile dysfunction by suppression of ER stress and autophagy. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2019; 1865:1627-1641. [PMID: 30946956 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2019.03.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 60] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2018] [Revised: 03/13/2019] [Accepted: 03/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an essential component of outer membrane of the Gram-negative bacteria, plays a pivotal role in myocardial anomalies in sepsis. Recent evidence depicted an essential role for mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) in cardiac homeostasis. This study examined the effect of ALDH2 on endotoxemia-induced cardiac anomalies. Echocardiographic, cardiac contractile and intracellular Ca2+ properties were examined. Our results indicated that LPS impaired cardiac contractile function (reduced fractional shortening, LV end systolic diameter, peak shortening, maximal velocity of shortening/relengthening, prolonged relengthening duration, oxidation of SERCA, and intracellular Ca2+ mishandling), associated with ER stress, inflammation, O2- production, increased autophagy, CAMKKβ, phosphorylated AMPK and suppressed phosphorylation of mTOR, the effects of which were significantly attenuated or negated by ALDH2. LPS promoted early endosomal formation (as evidenced by RAB4 and RAB5a), apoptosis and necrosis (MTT and LDH) while decreasing late endosomal formation (RAB7 and RAB 9), the effects were reversed by ALDH2. In vitro study revealed that LPS-induced SERCA oxidation, autophagy and cardiac dysfunction were abrogated by ALDH2 activator Alda-1, the ER chaperone TUDCA, the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA, or the AMPK inhibitor Compound C. The beneficial effect of Alda-1 against LPS was nullified by AMPK activator AICAR or rapamycin. CAMKKβ inhibition failed to rescue LPS-induced ER stress. Tunicamycin-induced cardiomyocyte dysfunction was ameliorated by Alda-1 and autophagy inhibition, the effect of which was abolished by rapamycin. These data suggested that ALDH2 protected against LPS-induced cardiac anomalies via suppression of ER stress, autophagy in a CAMKKβ/AMPK/mTOR-dependent manner.

Liu P, Huang J, Zhong L. Role and mechanism of homocysteine in affecting hepatic protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2019; 1863:941-949. [PMID: 30853337 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2019.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2018] [Revised: 02/27/2019] [Accepted: 03/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated homocysteine is epidemiologically related to insulin resistance. Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a negative regulator of insulin signaling. However, the effect of homocysteine on PTP1B remains unclear. METHODS S-homocysteinylated PTP1B was identified by LC-ESI-MS/MS. The ability of thioredoxin system to recover active PTP1B from S-homocysteinylated PTP1B was confirmed by RNA interference. To address the mechanism for homocysteine to affect PTP1B activity, we performed 5-IAF insertion, activity assays, Western blotting, co-immunoprecipitation and glucose uptake experiments. RESULTS The thiol-containing form of homocysteine (HcySH) suppressed phosphorylation of insulin receptor-β subunit, but enhanced PTP1B activity. This phenomenon was partially related to the fact that HcySH promoted PTP1B expression. Although the disulfide-bonded form of homocysteine (HSSH) modified PTP1B to form an inactive S-homocysteinylated PTP1B, HcySH-induced increase in the activities of cellular thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase, components of thioredoxin system, could recover active PTP1B from S-homocysteinylated PTP1B. Thioredoxin system transferred electrons from NADPH to S-homocysteinylated PTP1B, regenerating active PTP1B in vitro and in hepatocytes. The actions of HcySH were also related with decrease in hepatic glucose uptake. CONCLUSIONS The effect of HcySH/HSSH on PTP1B activity depends, at least partially, on the ratio of active PTP1B and S-homocysteinylated PTP1B. High HcySH-induced an increase in thioredoxin system activity is beneficial to de-S-homocysteinylation and is good for PTP1B activity. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Our data provide a novel insight into post-translational regulation of PTP1B, and expand the biological functions of thioredoxin system.

Abstract
Although there is an increasing understanding of the signaling pathways that promote cardiac hypertrophy, negative regulatory factors of this process have received less attention. Increasing evidence indicates that Krüppel-like factor 15 (KLF15) plays an important role in maintaining cardiac function by controlling the transcriptional pathways that regulating cardiac metabolism. Recent studies have also revealed a vital role for KLF15 as an inhibitor of pathological cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis via its effects on factors such as myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2), GATA-binding protein 4 (GATA4), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and myocardin. KLF15 may therefore be an effective therapeutic target for the treatment of heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. In this review, we focus on the physiological and pathophysiological roles of KLF15 in the heart and the potential mechanisms through which KLF15 is regulated in various cardiac diseases.

Cholinergic drugs ameliorate endothelial dysfunction by decreasing O-GlcNAcylation via M3 AChR-AMPK-ER stress signaling. Life Sci 2019; 222:1-12. [PMID: 30786250 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2019.02.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2018] [Revised: 02/15/2019] [Accepted: 02/17/2019] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is accompanied by augmented O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification of proteins via increasing hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) flux. However, the changes and regulation of the O-GlcNAc levels induced by obesity are unclear. MAIN METHODS High fat diet (HFD) model was induced obesity in mice with or without the cholinergic drug pyridostigmine (PYR, 3 mg/kg/d) for 22 weeks and in vitro human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was treated with high glucose (HG, 30 mM) with or without acetylcholine (ACh). KEY FINDINGS PYR significantly reduced body weight, blood glucose, and O-GlcNAcylation levels and attenuated vascular endothelial cells detachment in HFD-fed mice. HG addition induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and increased O-GlcNAcylation levels and apoptosis in HUVECs in a time-dependent manner. Additionally, HG decreased levels of phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Interestingly, ACh significantly blocked damage to HUVECs induced by HG. Furthermore, the effects of ACh on HG-induced ER stress, O-GlcNAcylation, and apoptosis were prevented by treating HUVECs with 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide (4-DAMP, a selective M3 AChR antagonist) or compound C (Comp C, an AMPK inhibitor). Treatment with 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribose (AICAR, an AMPK activator), 4-phenyl butyric acid (4-PBA, an ER stress inhibitor), and 6-diazo-5-oxonorleucine (DON, a GFAT antagonist) reproduced a similar effect with ACh. SIGNIFICANCE Activation of cholinergic signaling ameliorated endothelium damage, reduced levels of ER stress, O-GlcNAcylation, and apoptosis in mice and HUVECs under obese conditions, which may function through M3 AChR-AMPK signaling.
