Wang S, Zou Z, Tang Z, Deng J. AMPK/MTOR/TP53 Signaling Pathway Regulation by Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Reduces Oxygen-Induced Lung Damage in Neonatal Rats through Autophagy Promotion. Inflammation 2024:10.1007/s10753-023-01963-7. [PMID: 38502251 DOI: 10.1007/s10753-023-01963-7] [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: 09/30/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/21/2024]
Abstract
Our previous studies indicated that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) alleviates hyperoxia-induced lung injury and suggested the possible involvement of autophagy in this process. Herein, we aimed to further explore the potential involvement of tumor protein p53 (TP53) and autophagy in the mode of action of CGRP against hyperoxia-induced lung injury in vitro and in vivo. The study conducted tests on type II alveolar epithelial cells (AECII) and rats that were subjected to hyperoxia treatment or combined treatment of hyperoxia with CGRP, CGRP inhibitor, rapamycin (an autophagy agonist), 3-methyladenine (3-MA, an autophagy inhibitor), TP53 silencing/inhibitor (pifithrin-α), or expression vector/activator (PRIMA-1 (2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-3-quinuclidinone)) and their corresponding controls. We found that oxidative stress, apoptosis, and autophagy were all increased by hyperoxia treatment in vitro. However, treating AECII cells with CGRP reversed hyperoxia-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis but further promoted autophagy. In addition, the combined treatment with rapamycin or TP53 silencing with CGRP promoted the effect of CGRP, while contrary results were obtained with combined therapy with 3-MA or TP53 overexpression. In vivo, the number of hyperoxia-induced autophagosomes was promoted in the lung tissue of neonatal rats. Furthermore, hyperoxia increased the expression levels of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) alpha 1 (also known as protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 1 (PRKAA1)) but inhibited TP53 and mechanistic target of rapamycin (MTOR); these expression trends were regulated by CGRP treatment. In conclusion, we showed that CGRP can attenuate hyperoxia-induced lung injury in neonatal rats by enhancing autophagy and regulating the TP53/AMPK/MTOR crosstalk axis.

Human Amniotic Fluid Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Inhibit Apoptosis in Ovarian Granulosa Cell via miR-369-3p/YAF2/PDCD5/p53 Pathway. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:3695848.

Abstract
Human amniotic fluid stem cell-derived exosome (HuAFSC-exosome) transplantation is considered a promising treatment for premature ovarian failure (POF). However, its mechanism remains unclear. In this study, exosomes were isolated and enriched from HuAFSC subsets of CD44+/CD105+, and the exosomes were transplanted into a POF model in vitro and in vivo. Our results confirmed that the exosomes produced by CD44+/CD105+ HuAFSCs could achieve therapeutic effects in a mouse POF model. Our research also showed that CD44+/CD105+ HuAFSC-exosomes carrying miR-369-3p could specifically downregulate the expression of YAF2, inhibit the stability of PDCD5/p53, and reduce the apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells (OGCs), thereby exerting therapeutic effects on POF. Knowledge of these mechanisms demonstrates that miRNAs carried by CD44+/CD105+ HuAFSC-exosomes are critical to the therapy of POF. This will be useful for the clinical application of stem cells.

Abstract
Chondrocyte apoptosis is an important factor in the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Cryptotanshinone (CTS) can inhibit chondrocyte apoptosis, but the specific mechanism remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to explore how CTS may affect chondrocyte apoptosis. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to validate microRNA (miR)-574-5p, YY1-associated factor 2 (YAF2), Bcl-2 and Bax expression levels. H&E, Safranin O and TUNEL staining assays were used to evaluate the apoptosis of arthritic chondrocytes in vivo. A Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and flow cytometry were performed to detect cell proliferation and apoptosis of chondrocytes in vitro. The methylation level of the miR-574-5p promoter was measured via methylation specific PCR. The degree of chondrocyte apoptosis and the expression levels of YAF2 and Bcl-2 were decreased in the mice with OA, and were increased in the OA + CTS mice, while the expression levels of miR-574-5p and Bax showed opposite changes. Furthermore, the degree of chondrocyte apoptosis and the expression levels of the aforementioned key factors in chondrocytes were consistent with those observed in vivo. The methylation degree of the miR-574-5p promoter was increased by the addition of CTS, and was reduced after the addition of a methylation inhibitor, 5-aza-CdR, indicating that CTS could regulate the methylation of miR-574-5p promoter. The present study suggested that CTS could downregulate the expression of miR-574-5p by regulating its methylation, and thus, could improve YAF2 expression and affect chondrocyte apoptosis.

Abstract
YY1-associated factor 2 (YAF2) was frequently reported to modulate target gene transcription through both epigenetic and non-epigenetic means. However, other mechanisms were also utilized by YAF2 to carry out its biological functions. Here, we demonstrated that YAF2 from human tumor and non-tumor cells were mainly expressed as Serine 167 phosphorylated form. Further studies showed that the phosphorylated YAF2 up-regulated while its knockdown by specific siRNAs reduced fibronectin type III and ankyrin repeat domains 1 (FANK1) protein level. Mechanistic exploration disclosed that phosphorylated YAF2 inhibit proteasomal degradation of polyubiquitinated FANK1, leading to its increased stability. We then validated their interaction, and displayed that the FN3 domain of FANK1 binds to amino-terminal of YAF2. Functional studies showed that phosphorylated YAF2 inhibits tumor cell apoptosis in a FANK1-dependent manner. Taken together, our current findings demonstrated that phosphorylated YAF2 exhibits anti-apoptotic activity through targeting FANK1 expression in human tumor cells.

Abstract
Programmed cell death (PDCD)5 is cloned from human leukemia cell line TF-1. PDCD5 is one of the members of the programmed cell death protein family that is frequently involved in tumor growth and apoptosis. To investigate the molecular and cellular functions of PDCD5, the present study established a PDCD5 stably overexpressing A431 cell line and examined the role of PDCD5 in cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and apoptosis. The data demonstrated that overexpression of PDCD5 significantly inhibited cell proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and apoptosis in A431 cells. The expression profiles of certain key regulators of these cellular events were further investigated, including P53, B cell lymphoma (BCL)-2, BCL-2 associated X protein (BAX) and caspase (CASP)3. The data demonstrated that at the transcript and protein levels, P53, BAX and CASP3 were all upregulated in the PDCD5 stably overexpressing A431 cells whereas BCL-2 was downregulated, indicating that PDCD5 acts as an important upstream regulator of P53, BCL-2, BAX and CASP3. The data suggest that PDCD5 regulates cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and apoptosis in A431 cells. PDCD5 may be a novel tumor suppressor gene, and may be potentially used for cancer treatment in the future.

Abstract
Programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) is an apoptosis promoter molecule that displays multiple biological activities. However, the function of PDCD5 in vivo has not yet been investigated. Here, we generated a Pdcd5 knockout mouse model to study the physiological role of PDCD5 in vivo. Knockout of the Pdcd5 gene resulted in embryonic lethality at mid-gestation. Histopathological analysis revealed dysplasia in both the LZs and JZs in Pdcd5–/– placentas with defects in spongiotrophoblasts and trophoblast giant cells. Furthermore, Pdcd5–/– embryos had impaired transplacental passage capacity. We also found that Pdcd5–/– embryos exhibited cardiac abnormalities and defective liver development. The growth defect is linked to impaired placental development and may be caused by insufficient oxygen and nutrient transfer across the placenta. These findings were verified in vitro in Pdcd5 knockout mouse embryonic fibroblasts, which showed increased apoptosis and G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest. Pdcd5 knockout decreased the Vegf and hepatocyte growth factor (Hgf) levels, downregulated the downstream Pik3ca–Akt–Mtor signal pathway and decreased cell survival. Collectively, our studies demonstrated that Pdcd5 knockout in mouse embryos results in placental defects and embryonic lethality.

Abstract
Polycomb group (PcG) proteins function as chromatin-based transcriptional repressors that are essential for normal gene regulation during development. However, how these systems function to achieve transcriptional regulation remains very poorly understood. Here, we discover that the histone H2AK119 E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) is defined by the composition of its catalytic subunits and is highly regulated by RYBP/YAF2-dependent stimulation. In mouse embryonic stem cells, RYBP plays a central role in shaping H2AK119 mono-ubiquitylation at PcG targets and underpins an activity-based communication between PRC1 and Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) which is required for normal histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3). Without normal histone modification-dependent communication between PRC1 and PRC2, repressive Polycomb chromatin domains can erode, rendering target genes susceptible to inappropriate gene expression signals. This suggests that activity-based communication and histone modification-dependent thresholds create a localized form of epigenetic memory required for normal PcG chromatin domain function in gene regulation.

Abstract
RNA is targeted in biological conflicts by enzymatic toxins or effectors. A vast diversity of systems which repair or ‘heal’ this damage has only recently become apparent. Here, we summarize the known effectors, their modes of action, and RNA targets before surveying the diverse systems which counter this damage from a comparative genomics viewpoint. RNA-repair systems show a modular organization with extensive shuffling and displacement of the constituent domains; however, a general ‘syntax’ is strongly maintained whereby systems typically contain: a RNA ligase (either ATP-grasp or RtcB superfamilies), nucleotidyltransferases, enzymes modifying RNA-termini for ligation (phosphatases and kinases) or protection (methylases), and scaffold or cofactor proteins. We highlight poorly-understood or previously-uncharacterized repair systems and components, e.g. potential scaffolding cofactors (Rot/TROVE and SPFH/Band-7 modules) with their respective cognate non-coding RNAs (YRNAs and a novel tRNA-like molecule) and a novel nucleotidyltransferase associating with diverse ligases. These systems have been extensively disseminated by lateral transfer between distant prokaryotic and microbial eukaryotic lineages consistent with intense inter-organismal conflict. Components have also often been ‘institutionalized’ for non-conflict roles, e.g. in RNA-splicing and in RNAi systems (e.g. in kinetoplastids) which combine a distinct family of RNA-acting prim-pol domains with DICER-like proteins.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the female genital tract. Programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) is a newly identified apoptosis related gene and plays an important role in the development of some human tumors. However, the expression and clinical significance of PDCD5 in endometrial cancer have not been fully elucidated. Here, we evaluated the expression of PDCD5 in endometrioid endometrial carcinoma and control endometrium by qRT-PCR, western blot and immunohistochemistry, and analyzed the associations of PDCD5 expression with clinicopathological parameters of patients. In addition, we detected the expression of PDCD5 in control endometrial glandular epithelial cells and endometrioid endometrial carcinoma-derived cell line KLE by immunocytochemistry. The results showed that PDCD5 protein mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of glandular epithelial cells and endometrial carcinoma cells, and there was a low level of PDCD5 expression in the nuclei of the above cells. Furthermore, PDCD5 protein level was significantly lower in endometrial carcinoma samples than that in control endometrium. The decreased PDCD5 expression was correlated with the tumor differentiation degree. It is clear that PDCD5 protein expression was lower in middle and low differentiated endometrial carcinoma compared with control endometrium and high differentiated endometrial carcinoma. However, there were no significant differences of PDCD5 expression between the proliferative phase and the secretory phase of control endometrium, as well as between high differentiated endometrial carcinoma and controls. The results were verified in control glandular epithelial cells and KLE cells by immunocytochemistry. Therefore, PDCD5 may play a key role in the pathogenesis of endometrial cancer and may be a novel target for diagnosis and treatment of endometrial cancer.

Abstract
Programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) was originally identified as an apoptosis-accelerating protein that is widely expressed and has been well conserved during the process of evolution. PDCD5 has complex biological functions, including programmed cell death and immune regulation. It can accelerate apoptosis in different type of cells in response to different stimuli. During this process, PDCD5 rapidly translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. PDCD5 regulates the activities of TIP60, HDAC3, MDM2 and TP53 transcription factors. These proteins form part of a signaling network that is disrupted in most, if not all, cancer cells. Recent evidence suggests that PDCD5 participates in immune regulation by promoting regulatory T cell function via the PDCD5-TIP60-FOXP3 pathway. The stability and expression of PDCD5 are finely regulated by other molecules, such as NF-κB p65, OTUD5, YAF2 and DNAJB1. PDCD5 is phosphorylated by CK2 at Ser119, which is required for nuclear translocation in response to genotoxic stress. In this review, we describe what is known about PDCD5 and its cellular functions.
