Abstract
Clinical correlations suggest that systemic chemokine (C-C motif) ligand (CCL) 2 release may contribute to blood pressure regulation and the development of hemodynamic instability during the early inflammatory response to traumatic-hemorrhagic shock. Thus, we investigated whether blockade of the principal CCL2 receptor chemokine (C-C motif) receptor (CCR) 2 affects blood pressure in normal animals, and hemodynamics and resuscitation fluid requirements in hemorrhagic shock models.

The ATP/Mg2+ Balance Affects the Degradation of Short Fluorogenic Substrates by the 20S Proteasome. Methods Protoc 2022; 5:mps5010015. [PMID: 35200531 PMCID: PMC8875927 DOI: 10.3390/mps5010015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Revised: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Proteasomes hydrolyze most cellular proteins. The standard reaction to determine proteasome activity in cellular lysate or elsewhere contains AMC-conjugated peptide substrate, ATP, Mg2+, and DTT. ATP and Mg2+ are included to maintain 26S proteasome functionality. However, most cellular proteasomes are 20S proteasomes, and the effects of ATP on the turnover of fluorogenic substrates by 20S complexes are largely unknown. Here, we evaluated the effect of ATP alone or in combination with Mg2+ on the degradation of AMC-conjugated fluorogenic substrates by purified 20S proteasomes. Degradation of substrates used to determine chymotrypsin-, caspase- and trypsin-like proteasome activities was gradually decreased with the rise of ATP concentration from 0.25 to 10 mM. These effects were not associated with the blockage of the proteasome catalytic subunit active sites or unspecific alterations of AMC fluorescence by the ATP. However, ATP-induced peptide degradation slowdown was rescued by the addition of Mg2+. Moreover, the substrate degradation efficacy was proportional to the Mg2+/ATP ratio, being equal to control values when equimolar concentrations of the molecules were used. The obtained results indicate that when proteasome activity is assessed, the reciprocal effects of ATP and Mg2+ on the hydrolysis of AMC-conjugated fluorogenic substrates by the 20S proteasomes should be considered.

Abstract
The regulation of mitochondrial function, which is dominated by oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOs), is important in fluoride induced cardiovascular disease. Based on the previous study of fluoride-induced mitochondrial structure and membrane potential abnormalities, this study integrated ITRAQ protein quantification and RNA-Seq methods to analyze the sequencing data of rat myocardial tissue under fluoride exposure (0, 30, 60 and 90 mg/L). A total of 22 differentially expressed genes associated with the OXPHOs pathway were screened by Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) co-enrichment analysis, and were localizated by Interaction Network and calculated inter-genes and inter-omics correlations by Pearson correlation. In general, fluoride exposure can down-regulate genes related OXPHOs, particularly affecting the assembly of the complex I including Ndufa10, resulting in abnormal mitochondrial ATP synthesis and reduced myocardial energy supply. Most importantly, this study shows that the enriched information from the proteomics can explain the change process of energy production, but the specific molecules involved in energy supply cannot be obtained via transcriptomics information alone. Based on the results of transcriptional and protein analysis, our findings contribute to an innovative understanding of the pathways and molecular changes of myocardial injury induced by fluorosis.

Abstract
Proteasomal degradation provides the crucial machinery for maintaining cellular proteostasis. The biological origins of modulation or impairment of the function of proteasomal complexes may include changes in gene expression of their subunits, ubiquitin mutation, or indirect mechanisms arising from the overall impairment of proteostasis. However, changes in the physico-chemical characteristics of the cellular environment might also meaningfully contribute to altered performance. This review summarizes the effects of physicochemical factors in the cell, such as pH, temperature fluctuations, and reactions with the products of oxidative metabolism, on the function of the proteasome. Furthermore, evidence of the direct interaction of proteasomal complexes with protein aggregates is compared against the knowledge obtained from immobilization biotechnologies. In this regard, factors such as the structures of the natural polymeric scaffolds in the cells, their content of reactive groups or the sequestration of metal ions, and processes at the interface, are discussed here with regard to their influences on proteasomal function.

Abstract
Resistance to therapeutic drugs occurs in virtually all types of cancers, and the tolerance to one drug frequently becomes broad therapy resistance; however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Combining a whole whole-genome-wide RNA interference screening and an evolutionary drug pressure model with MDA-MB-231 cells, it is found that enhanced protein damage clearance and reduced mitochondrial respiratory activity are responsible for cisplatin resistance. Screening drug-resistant cancer cells and human patient-derived organoids for breast and colon cancers with many anticancer drugs indicates that activation of mitochondrion protein import surveillance system enhances proteasome activity and minimizes caspase activation, leading to broad drug resistance that can be overcome by co-treatment with a proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib. It is further demonstrated that cisplatin and bortezomib encapsulated into nanoparticle further enhance their therapeutic efficacy and alleviate side effects induced by drug combination treatment. These data demonstrate a feasibility for eliminating broad drug resistance by targeting its common mechanism to achieve effective therapy for multiple cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protein degradation is an energy-dependent process, requiring ATP at multiple steps. However, reports conflict as to the relationship between intracellular energetics and the rate of proteasome-mediated protein degradation. METHODS To determine whether the concentration of the adenine nucleotide pool (ATP + ADP + AMP) affects protein degradation in muscle cells, we overexpressed an AMP degrading enzyme, AMP deaminase 3 (AMPD3), via adenovirus in C2C12 myotubes. RESULTS Overexpression of AMPD3 resulted in a dose- and time-dependent reduction of total adenine nucleotides (ATP, ADP and AMP) without increasing the ADP/ATP or AMP/ATP ratios. In agreement, the reduction of total adenine nucleotide concentration did not result in increased Thr172 phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a common indicator of intracellular energetic state. Furthermore, LC3 protein accumulation and ULK1 (Ser 555) phosphorylation were not induced. However, overall protein degradation and ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis were slowed by overexpression of AMPD3, despite unchanged content of several proteasome subunit proteins and proteasome activity in vitro under standard conditions. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, these findings indicate that a physiologically relevant decrease in ATP content, without a concomitant increase in ADP or AMP, is sufficient to decrease the rate of protein degradation and activity of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in muscle cells. This suggests that adenine nucleotide degrading enzymes, such as AMPD3, may be a viable target to control muscle protein degradation and perhaps muscle mass.

Abstract
Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Compared to maintenance dialysis, kidney transplantation results in improved patient survival and quality of life. Kidneys from living donors perform best; however, many patients with ESKD depend on kidneys from deceased donors. After procurement, donor kidneys are placed in a cold-storage solution until a suitable recipient is located. Sadly, prolonged cold storage times are associated with inferior transplant outcomes; therefore, in most situations when considering donor kidneys, long cold-storage times are avoided. The identification of novel mechanisms of cold-storage-related renal damage will lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies for preserving donor kidneys; to date, these mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this review, we discuss the importance of mitochondrial and proteasome function, protein homeostasis, and renal recovery during stress from cold storage plus transplantation. Additionally, we discuss novel targets for therapeutic intervention to improve renal outcomes.

Abstract
Proteasome inhibitor bortezomib offers one more option for acute or chronic antibody-mediated rejection after kidney transplantation, but aggravated acute kidney injury (AKI) in some cases early after surgery using bortezomib bring new problem. Here, we evaluated the effects of bortezomib and ONX-0914 on renal tubule injury in a mouse model of ischemia-reperfusion injury. After treated with bortezomib, serum creatinine, usea nitrogen and tubular necrosis significantly increased compared with vehicle-treated mice, but decreased in ONX-0914 group mildly. Infiltration of neutrophil and macrophage were less in bortezomib and ONX-0914-treated mice than vehicle-treated group, and the same was observed on oxidative stress in the kidneys. Furthermore, the apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells increased in bortezomib-treated mice' kidneys compared with ONX-0914 and vehicle-treated controls. In vitro HK2 cell experiments also demonstrated the proapoptotic effect of bortezomib. The mRNA expression of several proapoptotic factors increased in kidneys of bortezomib-treated mice. In brief, bortezomib, as a proteasome inhibitor, shows a certain cytotoxicity to renal tubular epithelial cell during ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) through increased apoptosis. ONX-0914, as an immunoproteasome inhibitor, showed equal potency on anti-inflammation and oxidative stress relieving compared with bortezomib, while less cytotoxicity. The results render the immunoproteasome is a better target for anti-rejection and protecting kidney function in the field of organ transplantation.

Abstract
Identifying pathways related to renal cold storage (CS) that lead to renal damage after transplantation (Tx) will help us design novel pathway-specific therapies to improve graft outcome. Our recent report showed that mitochondrial function was compromised after CS alone, and this was exacerbated when CS was combined with Tx (CS/Tx). The goal of this study was to determine whether the proteasome exacerbates mitochondrial dysfunction after CS/Tx. We exposed the kidneys of male Lewis rats (in vivo) and rat renal proximal tubular (NRK) cells (in vitro) to CS/Tx or rewarming (CS/RW), respectively. To compare CS-induced effects, in vivo kidney Tx without CS exposure (autotransplantation; ATx) was also used. Our study provides the first evidence that the chymotrypsin-like (ChT-L) peptidase activity of the proteasome declined only after CS/Tx or CS/RW, but not after CS or ATx. Interestingly, key mitochondrial proteins involved with respiration [succinate dehydrogenase complex, subunit A (SDHA), a complex II subunit, and ATP5B, an ATP synthase/complex V subunit] were detected in the detergent-insoluble fraction after CS/Tx or CS/RW, with compromised complex V activity. Pharmacological inhibition of ChT-L activity in NRK cells decreased the activity of mitochondrial complexes I, II, and V and also increased the levels of SDHA and ATP5B in the insoluble fraction. On the other hand, inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in NRK cells with antimycin A compromised ChT-L function and increased the amounts of SDHA and ATP5B in the insoluble fraction. Our results suggest that mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction during CS precedes compromised ChT-L function after CS/Tx and proteasome dysfunction further alters mitochondrial protein homeostasis and decreases respiration in the kidneys after CS/Tx. Therefore, therapeutics that preserve mitochondrial and proteasome function during CS may provide beneficial outcomes following transplantation.

Abstract
A major issue in organ transplantation is the development of a protocol that can preserve organs under optimal conditions. Damage to organs is commonly a consequence of flow deprivation and oxygen starvation following the restoration of blood flow and reoxygenation. This is known as ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI): a complex multifactorial process that causes cell damage. While the oxygen deprivation due to ischemia depletes cell energy, subsequent tissue oxygenation due to reperfusion induces many cascades, from reactive oxygen species production to apoptosis initiation. Autophagy has also been identified in the pathogenesis of IRI, although such alterations and their subsequent functional significance are controversial. Moreover, proteasome activation may be a relevant pathophysiological mechanism. Different strategies have been adopted to limit IRI damage, including the supplementation of commercial preservation media with pharmacological agents or additives. In this review, we focus on novel strategies related to the ubiquitin proteasome system and oxidative stress inhibition, which have been used to minimize damage in liver transplantation.

Abstract
Recently, we demonstrated that Kv7 voltage-activated potassium channel inhibitors reduce fluid resuscitation requirements in short-term rat models of haemorrhagic shock. The aim of the present study was to further delineate the therapeutic potential and side effect profile of the Kv7 channel blocker linopirdine in various rat models of severe haemorrhagic shock over clinically relevant time periods. Intravenous administration of linopirdine, either before (1 or 3 mg/kg) or after (3 mg/kg) a 40% blood volume haemorrhage, did not affect blood pressure and survival in lethal haemorrhage models without fluid resuscitation. A single bolus of linopirdine (3 mg/kg) at the beginning of fluid resuscitation after haemorrhagic shock transiently reduced early fluid requirements in spontaneously breathing animals that were resuscitated for 3.5 hours. When mechanically ventilated rats were resuscitated after haemorrhagic shock with normal saline (NS) or with linopirdine-supplemented (10, 25 or 50 μg/mL) NS for 4.5 hours, linopirdine significantly and dose-dependently reduced fluid requirements by 14%, 45% and 55%, respectively. Lung and colon wet/dry weight ratios were reduced with linopirdine (25/50 μg/mL). There was no evidence for toxicity or adverse effects based on measurements of routine laboratory parameters and inflammation markers in plasma and tissue homogenates. Our findings support the concept that linopirdine-supplementation of resuscitation fluids is a safe and effective approach to reduce fluid requirements and tissue oedema formation during resuscitation from haemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the effects of proteasome inhibition on the development of burn-induced hypermetabolism. Rats underwent 30-40% total BSA scald burn or sham injury. The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (0.1 mg/kg) or vehicle (n = 10) was administered i.p. 3× weekly starting at 2 hours (early bortezomib, n = 20) or 48 hours (late-bortezomib, n = 13) postburn. Body weights were determined weekly. Resting energy expenditures (REE) were measured at days 0 (baseline), 7, 14, 21, and 42 postburn. At day 42, blood and pectoral muscle were harvested. Routine blood chemistry parameters were analyzed. Proteasome content, proteasome peptidase activities, and ubiquitin-protein conjugates were measured in muscle extracts. As compared with sham-vehicle-treated animals, specific proteasome activities were increased after burn and vehicle treatment. Bortezomib treatment inhibited proteasome activities and increased ubiquitin-protein conjugates after sham and burn injury. Bortezomib treatment did not affect REE after sham procedure. REE significantly increased by 47% within 7 days and remained elevated until day 42 after burn and vehicle treatment. After early-bortezomib treatment, burn-induced increases in REE were delayed and significantly reduced by 42% at day 42, as compared with vehicle treatment. With late-bortezomib treatment, burn-induced increases in REE were also delayed but not attenuated at day 42. Mortality was 20% with vehicle, 65% (median survival time: 1.875 days) with early-bortezomib and 25% with late-bortezomib treatment after burns (P < .05 early-bortezomib vs vehicle and late-bortezomib). Proteasome inhibition delays development of burn-induced hypermetabolism. Although proteasome inhibition early after burn injury reduces the hypermetabolic response, it significantly increases early burn-associated mortality.

Abstract
Mitochondria are pivotal organelles in eukaryotic cells. The complex proteome of mitochondria comprises proteins that are encoded by nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. The biogenesis of mitochondrial proteins requires their transport in an unfolded state with a high risk of misfolding. The mislocalization of mitochondrial proteins is deleterious to the cell. The electron transport chain in mitochondria is a source of reactive oxygen species that damage proteins. Mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to many pathological conditions and, together with the loss of cellular protein homeostasis (proteostasis), are hallmarks of ageing and ageing-related degeneration diseases. The pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, has been associated with mitochondrial and proteostasis failure. Thus, mitochondrial proteins require sophisticated surveillance mechanisms. Although mitochondria form a proteasome-exclusive compartment, multiple lines of evidence indicate a crucial role for the cytosolic ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in the quality control of mitochondrial proteins. The proteasome affects mitochondrial proteins at stages of their biogenesis and maturity. The effects of the UPS go beyond the removal of damaged proteins and include the adjustment of mitochondrial proteome composition, the regulation of organelle dynamics and the protection of cellular homeostasis against mitochondrial failure. In turn, mitochondrial activity and mitochondrial dysfunction adjust the activity of the UPS, with implications at the cellular level.

The Relevance of the UPS in Fatty Liver Graft Preservation: A New Approach for IGL-1 and HTK Solutions. Int J Mol Sci 2017; 18:ijms18112287.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome is the central proteolytic machinery of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS), which is involved in the degradation of ubiquitinated protein substrates. Recently, UPS inhibition has been shown to be a key factor in fatty liver graft preservation during organ cold storage using University of Wisconsin solution (UW) and Institute Georges Lopez (IGL-1) solutions. However, the merits of IGL-1 and histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solutions for fatty liver preservation have not been compared. Fatty liver grafts from obese Zücker rats were preserved for 24 h at 4 °C. Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT), glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), ATP, adenosine monophosphate protein kinase (AMPK), e-NOS, proteasome activity and liver polyubiquitinated proteins were determined. IGL-1 solution prevented ATP breakdown during cold-storage preservation of steatotic livers to a greater extent than HTK solution. There were concomitant increases in AMPK activation, e-NOS (endothelial NOS (NO synthase)) expression and UPS inhibition. UPS activity is closely related to the composition of the solution used to preserve the organ. IGL-1 solution provided significantly better protection against ischemia-reperfusion for cold-stored fatty liver grafts than HTK solution. The effect is exerted through the activation of the protective AMPK signaling pathway, an increase in e-NOS expression and a dysregulation of the UPS.

Abstract
Activation of C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) has been reported to result in lung protective effects in various experimental models. The effects of pharmacological CXCR4 modulation on the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after lung injury, however, are unknown. Thus, we studied whether blockade and activation of CXCR4 influences development of ARDS in a unilateral lung ischaemia-reperfusion injury rat model. Anaesthetized, mechanically ventilated animals underwent right lung ischaemia (series 1, 30 minutes; series 2, 60 minutes) followed by reperfusion for 300 minutes. In series 1, animals were treated with vehicle or 0.7 μmol/kg of AMD3100 (CXCR4 antagonist) and in series 2 with vehicle, 0.7 or 3.5 μmol/kg ubiquitin (non-cognate CXCR4 agonist) within 5 minutes of reperfusion. AMD3100 significantly reduced PaO2 /FiO2 ratios, converted mild ARDS with vehicle treatment into moderate ARDS (PaO2 /FiO2 ratio<200) and increased histological lung injury. Ubiquitin dose-dependently increased PaO2 /FiO2 ratios, converted moderate-to-severe into mild-to-moderate ARDS and reduced protein content of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Measurements of cytokine levels (TNFα, IL-6, IL-10) in lung homogenates and BALF showed that AMD3100 reduced IL-10 levels in homogenates from post-ischaemic lungs, whereas ubiquitin dose-dependently increased IL-10 levels in BALF from post-ischaemic lungs. Our findings establish a cause-effect relationship for the effects of pharmacological CXCR4 modulation on the development of ARDS after lung ischaemia-reperfusion injury. These data further suggest CXCR4 as a new drug target to reduce the incidence and attenuate the severity of ARDS after lung injury.

Abstract
AIM To compare liver proteolysis and proteasome activation in steatotic liver grafts conserved in University of Wisconsin (UW) and Institut Georges Lopez-1 (IGL-1) solutions.
METHODS Fatty liver grafts from male obese Zücker rats were conserved in UW and IGL-1 solutions for 24 h at 4 °Cand subjected to “ex vivo” normo-thermic perfusion (2 h; 37 °C). Liver proteolysis in tissue specimens and perfusate was measured by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Total free amino acid release was correlated with the activation of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS: measured as chymotryptic-like activity and 20S and 19S proteasome), the prevention of liver injury (transaminases), mitochondrial injury (confocal microscopy) and inflammation markers (TNF 1 alpha, high mobility group box-1 (HGMB-1) and PPAR gamma), and liver apoptosis (TUNEL assay, cytochrome c and caspase 3).
RESULTS Profiles of free AA (alanine, proline, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, lysine, ornithine, and threonine, among others) were similar for tissue and reperfusion effluent. In all cases, the IGL-1 solution showed a significantly higher prevention of proteolysis than UW (P < 0.05) after cold ischemia reperfusion. Livers conserved in IGL-1 presented more effective prevention of ATP-breakdown and more inhibition of UPS activity (measured as chymotryptic-like activity). In addition, the prevention of liver proteolysis and UPS activation correlated with the prevention of liver injury (AST/ALT) and mitochondrial damage (revealed by confocal microscopy findings) as well as with the prevention of inflammatory markers (TNF1alpha and HMGB) after reperfusion. In addition, the liver grafts preserved in IGL-1 showed a significant decrease in liver apoptosis, as shown by TUNEL assay and the reduction of cytochrome c, caspase 3 and P62 levels.
CONCLUSION Our comparison of these two preservation solutions suggests that IGL-1 helps to prevent ATP breakdown more effectively than UW and subsequently achieves a higher UPS inhibition and reduced liver proteolysis.

Abstract
Inhibitors of the ubiquitin-proteasome system improve hemodynamic parameters and decrease the infarct size after ischemia reperfusion. The molecular basis of this protection is not fully understood since most available data report inhibition of the 26 proteasome after ischemia reperfusion. The decrease in cellular ATP levels during ischemia leads to the dissociation of the 26S proteasome into the 19S regulatory complex and the 20S catalytic core, which results in protein degradation independently of ubiquitination. There is scarce information on the activity of the 20S proteasome during cardiac ischemia. Accordingly, the aim of this work was to determine the effects of 30 minutes of ischemia, or 30 min of ischemia followed by 60 minutes of reperfusion on the three main peptidase activities of the 20S proteasome in Langendorff perfused rat hearts. We found that 30 min of ischemia produced a significant increase in the chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome, without changes in its caspase-like or trypsin-like activities. In contrast, all three activities were decreased upon reperfusion. Ixazomib, perfused before ischemia at a concentration that reduced the chymotrypsin-like activity to 50% of the control values, without affecting the other proteasomal activities, improved the hemodynamic parameters upon reperfusion and decreased the infarct size. Ixazomib also prevented the 50% reduction in RyR2 content observed after ischemia. The protection was lost, however, when simultaneous inhibition of chymotrypsin-like and caspase-like activities of the proteasome was achieved at higher concentration of ixazomib. Our results suggest that selective inhibition of chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome during ischemia preserves key proteins for cardiomyocyte function and exerts a positive impact on cardiac performance after reperfusion.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in calcium homeostasis, protein folding and lipid biosynthesis. Perturbations in its normal functions lead to a condition called endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). This can be triggered by many physiopathological conditions such as alcoholic steatohepatitis, insulin resistance or ischemia-reperfusion injury. The cell reacts to ERS by initiating a defensive process known as the unfolded protein response (UPR), which comprises cellular mechanisms for adaptation and the safeguarding of cell survival or, in cases of excessively severe stress, for the initiation of the cell death program. Recent experimental data suggest the involvement of ERS in ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) of the liver graft, which has been considered as one of major problems influencing outcome after liver transplantation. The purpose of this review is to summarize updated data on the molecular mechanisms of ERS/UPR and the consequences of this pathology, focusing specifically on solid organ preservation and liver transplantation models. We will also discuss the potential role of ERS, beyond the simple adaptive response and the regulation of cell death, in the modification of cell functional properties and phenotypic changes.

Abstract
Alterations of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) and autophagy have been involved in lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, dynamic imaging of ALP function under lung I/R injury particularly is not fully understood. Here we depicted the live-cell fluorescence imaging of autophagosome to monitor ALP activation and autophagy function. The pAsRed2-N1-LC3 vectors were transfected into CRL-2192 NR8383 (an alveolar macrophage cell line) and CCL149 (an alveolar epithelial cell line) successfully. 0-h, 2-h, 4-h, and 6-h hypoxia/0-h, 2-h, 4-h, and 6-h reoxygenation were then induced with an ALP inhibitor (3-MA) or activator (rapamycin) in the culture of transfected cells separately. ALP activation was conformed by up-regulating AMPK and beclin1 expression. Apoptosis was not obvious in 2-h hypoxia/2-h reoxygenation. pAsRed2-N1-LC3 CCL149 and pAsRed2-N1-LC3 NR8383 cells revealed gradually enhanced AsRed2 from 2-h to 6-h hypoxia/reoxygenation. AsRed2 varied sensitively to 3-MA and rapamycin interventions during 2-h hypoxia/reoxygenation. Our data provides a simple method of autophagosome imaging to monitor ALP activation and autophagy function in lung I/R injury.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the activity of nonlysosomal proteolytic systems in skeletal and cardiac muscle during burn-induced hypermetabolism (BHM) in rats. Rats underwent 30% TBSA scald burn or sham injury and were observed for up to 42 days. Body weights and resting energy expenditures were determined weekly. Skeletal (soleus/pectoral) muscle and hearts were harvested on days 0 (=control), 7, 14, 21, and 42 after burn. Calpain, caspase-1, caspase-3/7, caspase-6, caspase-8, caspase-9, and proteasome peptidase activities were measured in tissue extracts. Hypermetabolism developed within 3 weeks after burns, as documented by increased resting energy expenditures and decreased body weights on postburn days 21 to 42 (P < 0.05 vs control). Calpain activities did not show significant alterations. Pan caspase activities increased by time and were significantly increased in skeletal and cardiac muscle extracts during hypermetabolism. Although increases in caspase-1, caspase-8, and caspase-9 activities were predominantly responsible for elevated pan caspase activities in skeletal muscle, increases in caspase-6 activities dominated in the heart. Proteasome peptidase activities in skeletal muscle extracts were not significantly altered. Proteasome peptidase activities in heart extracts increased time dependently and were significantly increased during BHM. Activation of caspase cascades during BHM constitutes a uniform response in skeletal and cardiac muscle and may contribute to enhanced metabolic protein turnover. Activation of myocardial proteasome activities may reflect persistent cardiac stress. Further exploration of caspase cascades and the proteasome as therapeutic targets to influence long-term consequences of BHM appears justified.

Abstract
The urgent need to expand the donor pool in order to attend to the growing demand for liver transplantation has obliged physicians to consider the use of suboptimal liver grafts and also to redefine the preservation strategies. This review examines the different methods of liver graft preservation, focusing on the latest advances in both static cold storage and machine perfusion (MP). The new strategies for static cold storage are mainly designed to increase the fatty liver graft preservation via the supplementation of commercial organ preservation solutions with additives. In this paper we stress the importance of carrying out effective graft washout after static cold preservation, and present a detailed discussion of the future perspectives for dynamic graft preservation using MP at different temperatures (hypothermia at 4 °C, normothermia at 37 °C and subnormothermia at 20 °C-25 °C). Finally, we highlight some emerging applications of regenerative medicine in liver graft preservation. In conclusion, this review discusses the "state of the art" and future perspectives in static and dynamic liver graft preservation in order to improve graft viability.

Abstract
Chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor (CXCR) 4 and atypical chemokine receptor (ACKR) 3 ligands have been reported to modulate cardiovascular function in various disease models. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain unknown. Thus, it was the aim of the present study to determine how pharmacological modulation of CXCR4 and ACKR3 regulate cardiovascular function. In vivo administration of TC14012, a CXCR4 antagonist and ACKR3 agonist, caused cardiovascular collapse in normal animals. During the cardiovascular stress response to hemorrhagic shock, ubiquitin, a CXCR4 agonist, stabilized blood pressure, whereas coactivation of CXCR4 and ACKR3 with CXC chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12), or blockade of CXCR4 with AMD3100 showed opposite effects. While CXCR4 and ACKR3 ligands did not affect myocardial function, they selectively altered vascular reactivity upon α1-adrenergic receptor (AR) activation in pressure myography experiments. CXCR4 activation with ubiquitin enhanced α1-AR-mediated vasoconstriction, whereas ACKR3 activation with various natural and synthetic ligands antagonized α1-AR-mediated vasoconstriction. The opposing effects of CXCR4 and ACKR3 activation by CXCL12 could be dissected pharmacologically. CXCR4 and ACKR3 ligands did not affect vasoconstriction upon activation of voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels or endothelin receptors. Effects of CXCR4 and ACKR3 agonists on vascular α1-AR responsiveness were independent of the endothelium. These findings suggest that CXCR4 and ACKR3 modulate α1-AR reactivity in vascular smooth muscle and regulate hemodynamics in normal and pathological conditions. Our observations point toward CXCR4 and ACKR3 as new pharmacological targets to control vasoreactivity and blood pressure.

Abstract
Proteasomes appear to be involved in the pathophysiology of various acute and chronic lung diseases. Information on the human lung proteasome in health and disease, however, is sparse. Therefore, we studied whether end-stage pulmonary diseases are associated with alterations in lung 20S/26S proteasome content, activity and 20S subunit composition. Biopsies were obtained from donor lungs (n=7) and explanted lungs from patients undergoing lung transplantation because of end stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; n=7), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF, n=7) and pulmonary sarcoidosis (n=5). 20S/26S proteasomes in lung extracts were quantified by ELISA, chymotrypsin-like proteasome peptidase activities measured and 20S proteasome beta subunits analyzed by Western blot. As compared with donor lungs, proteasome content was increased in IPF and sarcoidosis, but not in COPD. The relative distribution of free 20S and 26S proteasomes was similar; 20S proteasome was predominant in all extracts. Proteasome peptidase activities in donor and diseased lungs were indistinguishable. All extracts contained a mixed composition of inducible 20S beta immuno-subunits and their constitutive counterparts; a disease associated distribution could not be identified. A higher content of lung proteasomes in IPF and pulmonary sarcoidosis may contribute to the pathophysiology of human fibrotic lung diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to investigate the protective mechanisms induced by bortezomib added to Institut George Lopez (IGL)-1 preservation solution to protect steatotic livers against cold ischaemia reperfusion injury and to examine whether these mechanisms occur through the activation of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), Akt/mTOR pathways. METHODS Steatotic livers from obese rats were preserved for 24 h (at 4 °C) in IGL-1 solution with or without bortezomib (100 nM) or pretreated with AMPK inhibitor adenine 9-α-D-arabinofuranoside and preserved in IGL-1 + bortezomib. Livers were then perfused for 2 h at 37 °C. Liver injury (alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase) and function (bile production and vascular resistance) were measured. Also, Akt/mTOR, phosphorylated AMPK (pAMPK) and apoptosis were determined by Western blot analyses. KEY FINDINGS Bortezomib addition to IGL-1 solution significantly reduced steatotic liver injury, improved graft function and decreased liver apoptosis. These benefits were diminished by the pretreatment of obese rats with AMPK inhibitor Ara. Western blot analyses showed a significant increase in pAMPK after ischaemia and reperfusion. We also observed a significant phosphorylation of Akt in IGL-1 +bortezomib group that, in turn, induced the phosphorylation of mTOR and glycogen synthase kinase 3β. CONCLUSIONS Bortezomib, at low and non toxic concentration, is a promising additive to IGL-1 solution for steatotic liver preservation. Its protective effect is due to the activation of AMPK and Akt/mTOR pathways.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence suggest that proteasomes are involved in multiple aspects of myocardial physiology and pathology, including myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. It is well established that the 26S proteasome is an ATP-dependent enzyme and that ischemic heart disease is associated with changes in the ATP content of the cardiomyocyte. A functional link between the 26S proteasome, myocardial ATP concentrations, and ischemic cardiac injury, however, has been suggested only recently. This review discusses the currently available data on the pathophysiological role of the cardiac proteasome during ischemia and reperfusion in the context of the cellular ATP content. Depletion of the myocardial ATP content during ischemia appears to activate the 26S proteasome via direct regulatory effects of ATP on 26S proteasome stability and activity. This implies pathological degradation of target proteins by the proteasome and could provide a pathophysiological basis for beneficial effects of proteasome inhibitors in various models of myocardial ischemia. In contrast to that in the ischemic heart, reduced and impaired proteasome activity is detectable in the postischemic heart. The paradoxical findings that proteasome inhibitors showed beneficial effects when administered during reperfusion in some studies could be explained by their anti-inflammatory and immune suppressive actions, leading to reduction of leukocyte-mediated myocardial reperfusion injury. The direct regulatory effects of ATP on the 26S proteasome have implications for the understanding of the contribution of the 26S proteasome to the pathophysiology of the ischemic heart and its possible role as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several lines of evidence suggest that proteasomes, the major nonlysosomal proteases in eukaryotes, are involved in the pathophysiology of various disease processes, including ischemia-reperfusion injury and trauma. Recently, we demonstrated that 26S proteasome activity is negatively regulated by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and that proteasome activation during ischemia contributes to myocardial injury. The regulation of tissue proteasome activity by ATP and the potential of proteasomes as drug targets during hemorrhagic shock, however, are unknown. Thus, we evaluated the regulation of tissue proteasome peptidase activity and the effects of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib in rat models of hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Series 1 includes animals (n = 20) hemorrhaged to a mean arterial blood pressure of 30 mm Hg for up to 45 minutes. Series 2 includes animals hemorrhaged to a mean arterial blood pressure of 30 mm Hg for 30 minutes, followed by bortezomib (0.4 mg/kg) or vehicle administration (n =5 per group) and fluid resuscitation until 75 minutes. Series 3 includes animals that underwent 40% blood volume hemorrhage, followed by 2% blood volume hemorrhage every 15 minutes until death. Bortezomib (0.4 mg/kg) or vehicle were administered 15 minutes after the onset of hemorrhage (n = 6-7 per group). Vital signs were continuously monitored. The heart, lung, and pectoral muscle were analyzed for proteasome peptidase activities and levels of ATP, ubiquitin-protein conjugates, and cytokines (tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 6, and interleukin 10). RESULTS In Series 1, proteasome peptidase activities in tissue extracts increased proportional to the decrease in tissue ATP concentrations during hemorrhagic shock. Activation of proteasome peptidase activity with decreases of the ATP assay concentration was also detectable in normal tissue extracts. In Series 2, systemic administration of bortezomib inhibited tissue proteasome activities but did not affect the physiologic response. In Series 3, bortezomib inhibited tissue proteasome activities, increased endogenous ubiquitin-protein conjugates, and prolonged survival time from treatment from 48.5 minutes in the control group to 85 minutes (p = 0.0012). Bortezomib treatment did not affect tissue cytokine levels. CONCLUSION Proteasome activation contributes to the pathophysiology of severe hemorrhagic shock. Pharmacologic inhibition of the proteasome may provide a survival advantage during lethal hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
Autoimmune destruction of insulin producing pancreatic β-cells is the hallmark of type I diabetes. One of the key molecules implicated in the disease onset is the immunoproteasome, a protease with multiple proteolytic sites that collaborates with the constitutive 19S and the inducible 11S (PA28) activators to produce immunogenic peptides for presentation by MHC class I molecules. Despite its importance, little is known about the function and regulation of the immunoproteasome in pancreatic β-cells. Of special interest to immunoproteasome activation in β-cells are the effects of IFNβ, a type I IFN secreted by virus-infected cells and implicated in type I diabetes onset, compared to IFNγ, the classic immunoproteasome inducer secreted by cells of the immune system. By qPCR analysis, we show that mouse insulinoma MIN6 cells and mouse islets accumulate the immune proteolytic β1i, β2i and β5i, and 11S mRNAs upon exposure to IFNβ or IFNγ. Higher concentrations of IFNβ than IFNγ are needed for similar expression, but in each case the expression is transient, with maximal mRNA accumulation in 12 hours, and depends primarily on Interferon Regulatory Factor 1. IFNs do not alter expression of regular proteasome genes, and in the time frame of IFNβ-mediated response, the immune and regular proteolytic subunits co-exist in the 20S particles. In cell extracts with ATP, these particles have normal peptidase activities and degrade polyubiquitinated proteins with rates typical of the regular proteasome, implicating normal regulation by the 19S activator. However, ATP depletion rapidly stimulates the catalytic rates in a manner consistent with levels of the 11S activator. These findings suggest that stochastic combination of regular and immune proteolytic subunits may increase the probability with which unique immunogenic peptides are produced in pancreatic β-cells exposed to IFNβ, but primarily in cells with reduced ATP levels that stimulate the 11S participation in immunoproteasome function.

Abstract
The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) has been the subject of intensive research over the past 20 years to define its role in normal physiology and in pathophysiology. Many of these studies have focused in on the cardiovascular system and have determined that the UPS becomes dysfunctional in several pathologies such as familial and idiopathic cardiomyopathies, atherosclerosis, and myocardial ischemia. This review presents a synopsis of the literature as it relates to the role of the UPS in myocardial ischemia. Studies have shown that the UPS is dysfunctional during myocardial ischemia, and recent studies have shed some light on possible mechanisms. Other studies have defined a role for the UPS in ischemic preconditioning which is best associated with myocardial ischemia and is thus presented here. Very recent studies have started to define roles for specific proteasome subunits and components of the ubiquitination machinery in various aspects of myocardial ischemia. Lastly, despite the evidence linking myocardial ischemia and proteasome dysfunction, there are continuing suggestions that proteasome inhibitors may be useful to mitigate ischemic injury. This review presents the rationale behind this and discusses both supportive and nonsupportive studies and presents possible future directions that may help in clarifying this controversy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether treatment with the CXC chemokine receptor 4 agonist ubiquitin results in beneficial effects in a polytrauma model consisting of bilateral femur fractures plus blunt chest trauma (Injury Severity Score 18-25). DESIGN Treatment study. SETTING Research laboratory. SUBJECTS Seventeen Yorkshire pigs. INTERVENTIONS Intravenous injection of 1.5 mg/kg ubiquitin or albumin (control) at 60 mins after polytrauma. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Anesthetized, mechanically ventilated pigs underwent polytrauma, followed by a simulated 60-min shock phase. At the end of the shock phase, ubiquitin or albumin were administered and animals were resuscitated to a mean arterial blood pressure of 70 mm Hg until t=420 mins. After intravenous ubiquitin, ubiquitin plasma concentrations increased 16-fold to 2870±1015 ng/mL at t=90 mins and decreased with t1/2=60 mins. Endogenous plasma ubiquitin increased two-fold in the albumin group with peak levels of 359±210 ng/mL. Plasma levels of the cognate CXC chemokine receptor 4 ligand stromal cell-derived factor-1α were unchanged in both groups. Ubiquitin treatment reduced arterial lactate levels and prevented a continuous decrease in arterial oxygenation, which occurred in the albumin group during resuscitation. Wet weight to dry weight ratios of the lung contralateral from the injury, heart, spleen and jejunum were lower with ubiquitin. With ubiquitin treatment, tissue levels of Interleukin-8, Interleukin-10, Tumor Necrosis Factor α, and stromal cell-derived factor-1α were reduced in the injured lung and of Interleukin-8 in the contralateral lung, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Administration of exogenous ubiquitin modulates the local inflammatory response, improves resuscitation, reduces fluid shifts into tissues, and preserves arterial oxygenation after blunt polytrauma with lung injury. This study further supports the notion that ubiquitin is a promising protein therapeutic and implies CXC chemokine receptor 4 as a drug target after polytrauma.

Abstract
CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR)-4 agonists have been shown to attenuate inflammation and organ injury in various disease models, including trauma/hemorrhage. The pathophysiological role of CXCR4 during the early response to tissue injury, however, remains unknown. Therefore, we investigated the effects of AMD3100, a drug that antagonizes binding of stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1α and ubiquitin to CXCR4 during the initial response to polytrauma in pigs. Fifteen minutes before polytrauma (femur fractures/lung contusion; control: sham), 350 nmol/kg AMD3100, equimolar AMD3100 and ubiquitin (350 nmol/kg each) or vehicle were administered intravenously. After a 60-min shock period, fluid resuscitation was performed for 360 min. Ubiquitin binding to peripheral blood mononuclear cells was significantly reduced after intravenous AMD3100. SDF-1α plasma levels increased transiently >10-fold with AMD3100 in all animals. In injured animals, AMD3100 increased fluid requirements to maintain hemodynamics and enhanced increases in peripheral blood granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes, compared with its effects in uninjured animals. Cytokine release from leukocytes in response to Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2 and TLR-4 activation was increased after in vitro AMD3100 treatment of normal whole blood and after in vivo AMD3100 administration in animals subjected to polytrauma. Coadministration of AMD3100/ubiquitin reduced lactate levels, prevented AMD3100-induced increases in fluid requirements and sensitization of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 release upon TLR-2/4 activation, but did not attenuate increases in leukocyte counts and SDF-1α plasma levels. Our findings suggest that CXCR4 controls leukocyte mobilization after trauma, regulates leukocyte reactivity toward inflammatory stimuli and mediates protective effects during the early phase of trauma-induced inflammation.

Abstract
Human NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) catalyzes the obligatory two-electron reduction of quinones. For this peculiar catalytic mechanism, the enzyme is considered an important cytoprotector. The NQO1 gene is expressed in all human tissues, unless a polymorphism due to C609T point mutation is present. This polymorphism produces a null phenotype in the homozygous condition and reduced enzyme activity in the heterozygous one. We previously demonstrated that two cell lines of haematopoietic origin, HL60 and Raji cells, possess the same heterozygous genotype, but different phenotypes; as expected for a heterozygous condition the HL60 cell line showed a low level of enzyme activity, while the Raji cell line appeared as null phenotype. The level of NQO1 mRNA was similar in the two cell lines and the different phenotype was not due to additional mutations or to expression of alternative splicing products. Here we show that in Raji BL cell line with heterozygous genotype the null NQO1 phenotype is due to 20S proteasome degradation of wild type and mutant protein isoforms and is not directly linked to C609T polymorphism. This finding may have important implications in B-cell differentiation, in leukaemia risk evaluation and in chemotherapy based on proteasome inhibitors.

Abstract
RATIONALE Both cardiomyocyte-restricted proteasome functional enhancement and pharmacological proteasome inhibition (PSMI) were shown to attenuate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The role of cardiac proteasome dysfunction during I/R and the perspective to diminish I/R injury by manipulating proteasome function remain unclear. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine proteasome adequacy in I/R hearts, create a mouse model of cardiomyocyte-restricted PSMI (CR-PSMI), and test CR-PSMI impact on I/R injury. METHODS AND RESULTS Myocardial I/R were modeled by ligation (30 minutes) and subsequent release of the left anterior descending artery in mice overexpressing GFPdgn, a validated surrogate proteasome substrate. At 24 hours of reperfusion, myocardial proteasome activities were significantly lower whereas total ubiquitin conjugates and GFPdgn protein levels were markedly higher in all regions of the I/R hearts than the sham controls, indicative of proteasome functional insufficiency. CR-PSMI in intact mice was achieved by transgenic (tg) overexpression of a peptidase-disabled mouse β5 subunit (T60A-β5) driven by an attenuated mouse mhc6 promoter. Overexpressed T60A-β5 can replace endogenous β5 and inhibits proteasome chymotrypsin-like activities in the heart. Mice with moderate CR-PSMI showed no abnormalities at the baseline but displayed markedly more pronounced structural and functional damage during I/R, compared with non-tg littermates. The exacerbation of I/R injury by moderate CR-PSMI was associated with significant increases in the protein level of PTEN and protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ), decreased Akt activation, and reduced PKCε. CONCLUSIONS Myocardial I/R causes proteasome functional insufficiency in cardiomyocytes and moderate CR-PSMI augments PTEN and PKCδ, suppresses Akt and PKCε, increases cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and aggravates I/R injury in mice.

Abstract
In the present Hypothesis article, we summarize and present data from the literature that support our hypothesis on the potential mechanisms by which UPS (ubiquitin-proteasome system) inhibitors reduce I/R (ischaemia/reperfusion) injury in the liver. I/R is the main cause of primary liver failure and, consequently, minimizing the detrimental effects of this process could increase the number of suitable transplantation grafts and also enhance the survival rate of patients after liver transplantation. A potential strategy to reduce I/R injury is the use of UPS inhibitors either as additives to preservation solutions or as drugs administered to patients. However, there is still controversy over whether the use of UPS inhibitors is beneficial or deleterious with regard to liver injury. From our experience and the few studies that have investigated the role of UPS in hepatic I/R, we believe that the use of UPS inhibitors is a potential strategy to reduce I/R injury in liver transplantation and graft preservation. We hypothesize that one of the main mechanisms of action of UPS inhibitors may be the up-regulation of AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) activity and the consequent down-regulation of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), which may finally influence autophagy and preserve the energy state of the cell.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), inherent in liver transplantation (LT), is the main cause of initial deficiencies and primary non-function of liver allografts. Living-related LT was developed to alleviate the mortality resulting from the scarcity of suitable deceased grafts. The main problem in using living-related LT for adults is graft size disparity. In this study we propose for the first time that the use of a proteasome inhibitor (Bortezomib) treatment could improve liver regeneration and reduce IRI after Reduced-Size Orthotopic Liver transplantation (ROLT). Rat liver grafts were reduced by removing the left lateral lobe and the two caudate lobes and preserved in UW or IGL-1 preservation solution for 1h liver and then subjected to ROLT with or without Bortezomib treatment. Our results show that Bortezomib reduces IRI after LT and is correlated with a reduction in mitochondrial damage, oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Furthermore, Bortezomib also increased liver regeneration after reduced-size LT and increased the expression of well-known ischemia/reperfusion protective proteins such as nitric oxide synthase, heme oxigenase 1 (HO-1) and Heat Shock Protein 70. Our results open new possibilities for the study of alternative therapeutic strategies aimed at reducing IRI and increasing liver regeneration after LT. It is hoped that the results of our study will contribute towards improving the understanding of the molecular processes involved in IRI and liver regeneration, and therefore help to improve the outcome of this type of LT in the future.

Abstract
Intensive investigations into the pathophysiological significance of the proteasome in the heart did not start until the beginning of the past decade but exciting progress has been made and summarized here as two fronts. First, strong evidence continues to emerge to support a novel hypothesis that proteasome functional insufficiency represents a common pathological phenomenon in a large subset of heart disease, compromises protein quality control in heart muscle cells, and thereby acts as a major pathogenic factor promoting the progression of the subset of heart disease to congestive heart failure. This front is represented by the studies on the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in cardiac proteinopathy, which have taken advantage of a transgenic mouse model expressing a fluorescence reporter for UPS proteolytic function. Second, pharmacological inhibition of the proteasome has been explored experimentally as a potential therapeutic strategy to intervene on some forms of heart disease, such as pressure-overload cardiac hypertrophy, viral myocarditis, and myocardial ischemic injury. Not only between the two fronts but also within each one, a multitude of inconsistencies and controversies remain to be explained and clarified. At present, the controversy perhaps reflects the sophistication of cardiac proteasomes in terms of the composition, assembly, and regulation, as well as the intricacy and diversity of heart disease in terms of its etiology and pathogenesis. A definitive role of altered proteasome function in the development of various forms of heart disease remains to be established. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled The 26S Proteasome: When degradation is just not enough!

Abstract
Recently, we provided evidence for a possible role of the cardiac proteasome during ischemia, suggesting that a subset of 26S proteasomes is a cell-destructive protease, which is activated as the cellular energy supply declines. Although proteasome inhibition during cold ischemia (CI) reduced injury of ischemic hearts, it remains unknown whether these beneficial effects are maintained throughout reperfusion, and thus, may have pathophysiological relevance. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of epoxomicin (specific proteasome inhibitor) in a rat heterotopic heart transplantation model. Donor hearts were arrested with University of Wisconsin solution (UW) and stored for 12 h/24 h in 4 °C UW±epoxomicin, followed by transplantation. Efficacy of epoxomicin was confirmed by proteasome peptidase activity measurements and analyses of myocardial ubiquitin pools. After 12hCI, troponin I content of UW was lower with epoxomicin. Although all hearts after 12hCI started beating spontaneously, addition of epoxomicin to UW during CI reduced cardiac edema and preserved the ultrastructural integrity of the post-ischemic cardiomyocyte. After 24hCI in UW±epoxomicin, hearts did not regain contractility. When hearts were perfused with epoxomicin during cardioplegia, the cardiac proteasome was inhibited immediately, all of these hearts started beating after 24hCI in UW plus epoxomicin and cardiac edema and myocardial ultrastructure were comparable to hearts after 12hCI. Epoxomicin did not affect markers of lipid peroxidation or neutrophil infiltration in post-ischemic hearts. These data further support the concept that proteasome activation during ischemia is of pathophysiological relevance and suggest proteasome inhibition as a promising approach to improve organ preservation strategies.

Abstract
Intracellular protein degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system is ATP dependent, and the optimal ATP concentration to activate proteasome function in vitro is ∼100 μM. Intracellular ATP levels are generally in the low millimolar range, but ATP at a level within this range was shown to inhibit proteasome peptidase activities in vitro. Here, we report new evidence that supports a hypothesis that intracellular ATP at the physiological levels bidirectionally regulates 26S proteasome proteolytic function in the cell. First, we confirmed that ATP exerted bidirectional regulation on the 26S proteasome in vitro, with the optimal ATP concentration (between 50 and 100 μM) stimulating proteasome chymotrypsin-like activities. Second, we found that manipulating intracellular ATP levels also led to bidirectional changes in the levels of proteasome-specific protein substrates in cultured cells. Finally, measures to increase intracellular ATP enhanced, while decreasing intracellular ATP attenuated the ability of proteasome inhibition to induce cell death. These data strongly suggest that endogenous ATP within the physiological concentration range can exert a negative impact on proteasome activities, allowing the cell to rapidly upregulate proteasome activity on ATP reduction under stress conditions.

Abstract
Despite advanced knowledge on the genetic basis of oxidative phosphorylation-related diseases, the molecular and/or cellular determinants for tissue-specific dysfunction are not completely understood. Here, we report the cellular events associated with mitochondrial respiratory Complex II deficiency occurring before cell death. Mutation or chronic inhibition of Complex II determined a large increase of basal and agonist-evoked Ca(2+) signals in the cytosol and the mitochondria, in parallel with mitochondrial dysfunction characterized by membrane potential (Δψ(mit)) loss, [ATP] reduction and increased reactive oxygen species production. Cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca(2+) overload are linked to increased endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) leakage, and to SERCA2b and PMCA proteasome-dependent degradation. Increased [Ca(2+)](mit) is also contributed by decreased mitochondrial motility and increased ER-mitochondria contact sites. Interestingly, increased intracellular [Ca(2+)] activated on the one hand a compensatory Ca(2+)-dependent glycolytic ATP production and determined on the second hand mitochondrial pathology. These results revealed the primary function for Ca(2+) signalling in the control of mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular bioenergetics outcomes linked to respiratory chain Complex II deficiency.
