Abstract
Chronic cold exposure, which is the main inducer of lung diseases in high latitudes, affects production efficiency and restricts the development of aquaculture. Although the relationship between cold exposure and susceptibility to the lungs is widely accepted, but the influence between them has not been fully explored. The aim of this study is to understand the underlying mechanism. In the present study, the mice, which are used to establish cold stress (CS)-induced lung injury model, are exposed to cold temperature (4 °C) for 3 h each day for 4 weeks. The results indicate that the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is augmented by cold exposure. In addition, chronic cold exposure aggravate the formation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and lead to a significant decrease in the contents of micrococcus catalase (CAT) and glutathione (GSH). Moreover, chronic cold exposure significantly exacerbates the expression of inflammation- and apoptosis-related proteins. The activation of Bax and caspase-3 are significantly augmented. However, that of Bcl-2 is decreased. These results are different from those in room team. The results show that chronic cold exposure plays an important roles in the activation of multiple signaling pathways, such as pyroptosis-related, inflammation-related and oxidative stress-regulated signaling pathways. In summary, these investigations support that chronic cold exposure increase the risk of lung injury by activating inflammation, oxidative stress and pyroptosis.

Chen X, Liu H, Li A, Ji S, Fei H. Hydrophobicity-tuned anion responsiveness underlies endosomolytic cargo delivery mediated by amphipathic vehicle peptides. J Biol Chem 2021; 297:101364. [PMID: 34736897 PMCID: PMC8639468 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2021.101364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2021] [Revised: 10/26/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Peptide conformation can change subject to environment cues. This concept also applies to many cationic amphipathic peptides (CAPs) known to have cell membrane lytic or penetrative activities. Well-conditioned CAPs can match the properties of the target membrane to support their intended biological functions, e.g., intracellular cargo delivery; however, the intricacy in such conditioning surpasses our current understanding. Here we focused on hydrophobicity, a key biophysical property that dictates the membrane activity of CAPs, and applied a structure–function strategy to evolve a template peptide for endosomolytic cargo delivery. The template was subjected to iterative adjustment to balance hydrophobicity between its N-terminal linear and C-terminal helical domains. We demonstrate that the obtained peptide, LP6, could dramatically promote cargo cell entry and facilitate cytosolic delivery of biomacromolecules such as FITC-dextran, saporin, and human IgG. Among the evolved peptide series, LP6 has low cytotoxicity and moderate hydrophobicity, exhibits maximum change in helical conformation in response to negatively charged phospholipids, and also shows an apparent aggregational behavior in response to sialic acid enrichment. These attributes of LP6 collectively indicate that its anion-responsive conformational change is a critical underlining of its endosomolytic cargo delivery capability. Our results also suggest that modulation of hydrophobicity serves as a key to the precise tuning of CAP's membrane activity for future biomedical applications.

Macrophage Stimulated by Low Ambient Temperature Hasten Tumor Growth via Glutamine Production. Biomedicines 2020; 8:biomedicines8100381. [PMID: 32993179 PMCID: PMC7600495 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines8100381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2020] [Revised: 09/08/2020] [Accepted: 09/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Ambient temperature can regulate the immune response and affect tumor growth. Although thermoneutral caging reduces tumor growth via immune activation, little attention has been paid to the tumorigenic effect of low temperature. In the present study, tumor growth was higher at low ambient temperature (4 °C for 8 h/d) than at the standard housing temperature (22 °C) in allograft models. Low temperature-stimulated tumor growth in mice was reduced by monocyte depletion using clodronate liposomes. Proliferation was considerably greater in cancer cells treated with 33 °C-cultured RAW264.7 cell-conditioned media (33CM) than in cells treated with 37 °C-cultured RAW264.7 cell-conditioned media (37CM). Additionally, glutamine levels were markedly higher in 33CM-treated cells than in 37CM-treated cells. We further confirmed that the addition of glutamine into 37CM enhanced its effects on cancer cell proliferation and glutamine uptake inhibition ameliorated the accelerated proliferation induced by 33CM. Consistently, the inhibition of glutamine uptake in the allograft model exposed to low temperature, effectively reduced tumor volume and weight. Collectively, these data suggest that the secretion and utilization of glutamine by macrophages and cancer cells, respectively, are key regulators of low temperature-enhanced cancer progression in the tumor microenvironment.

Golgi organization is regulated by proteasomal degradation. Nat Commun 2020; 11:409. [PMID: 31964869 PMCID: PMC6972958 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-14038-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 64] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2019] [Accepted: 11/19/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The Golgi is a dynamic organelle whose correct assembly is crucial for cellular homeostasis. Perturbations in Golgi structure are associated with numerous disorders from neurodegeneration to cancer. However, whether and how dispersal of the Golgi apparatus is actively regulated under stress, and the consequences of Golgi dispersal, remain unknown. Here we demonstrate that 26S proteasomes are associated with the cytosolic surface of Golgi membranes to facilitate Golgi Apparatus-Related Degradation (GARD) and degradation of GM130 in response to Golgi stress. The degradation of GM130 is dependent on p97/VCP and 26S proteasomes, and required for Golgi dispersal. Finally, we show that perturbation of Golgi homeostasis induces cell death of multiple myeloma in vitro and in vivo, offering a therapeutic strategy for this malignancy. Taken together, this work reveals a mechanism of Golgi-localized proteasomal degradation, providing a functional link between proteostasis control and Golgi architecture, which may be critical in various secretion-related pathologies. Correct Golgi assembly is important to cellular homeostasis but regulation of its structure under stress remains unclear. Here, the authors identify stress-induced degradation of GM130 by Golgi-localized 26S proteasomes, leading to Golgi dispersal.
