[PMID: 38339258 PMCID: PMC10854776 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16030505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Despite significant advancements in the development of novel therapies, cancer continues to stand as a prominent global cause of death. In many cases, the cornerstone of standard-of-care therapy consists of chemotherapy (CT), radiotherapy (RT), or a combination of both. Notably, hyperthermia (HT), which has been in clinical use in the last four decades, has proven to enhance the effectiveness of CT and RT, owing to its recognized potency as a sensitizer. Furthermore, HT exerts effects on all steps of the cancer-immunity cycle and exerts a significant impact on key oncogenic pathways. Most recently, there has been a noticeable expansion of cancer research related to treatment options involving immunotherapy (IT) and targeted therapy (TT), a trend also visible in the research and development pipelines of pharmaceutical companies. However, the potential results arising from the combination of these innovative therapeutic approaches with HT remain largely unexplored. Therefore, this review aims to explore the oncology pipelines of major pharmaceutical companies, with the primary objective of identifying the principal targets of forthcoming therapies that have the potential to be advantageous for patients by specifically targeting molecular pathways involved in HT. The ultimate goal of this review is to pave the way for future research initiatives and clinical trials that harness the synergy between emerging IT and TT medications when used in conjunction with HT.

Abstract
Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is a typical euryhaline crustacean to study osmotic regulation of crustaceans. Osmotic-regulation of Chinese mitten crab is a complex process. In order to study the osmotic-regulation related proteins of Chinese mitten crab, we domesticated Chinese mitten crab for 144 h with 25 salinity sea water (SW) and 0 salinity fresh water (FW) respectively, and then analyzed the proteome of its posterior gills. A total of 1453 proteins were identified by label free proteomics. Under the threshold of 2 fold change (FC), 242 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were screened, including 122 up-regulated DEPs and 120 down-regulated DEPs. GO database and KEGG database were used to annotate and enrich DEPs. It was found that DEPs were significantly enriched in energy metabolism, signal transduction, ion transport, actin cytoskeleton, immunity, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and other biological functions. After 144 h of high salinity stress, the energy metabolism of Chinese mitten crab decreased and the expression of actin and cytoskeleton protein increased. In order to cope with oxidative damage caused by high salinity, Chinese mitten crab improved its immunity and antioxidant capacity.

Abstract
Background: Sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) and heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) are important for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects after red light irradiation in an inflammatory model. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether SPHK1 and HSP27 work independently or are dependent on some other regulator after 625 nm light-emitting diode irradiation in the human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell line. Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between groups with or without 625 nm photobiomodulation (PBM) in the inflammatory model. Potential transcription factors (TFs) of key DEGs were predicted using the iRegulon plugin. The mechanism was investigated by analyzing mRNA and protein expression levels, prostaglandin E2 levels, and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced HaCaT cells after 625 nm PBM. Results: A total of 6 TFs (e.g., E2F1) and 51 key DEGs (e.g., SPHK1) were identified after 625 nm PBM in PMA-stimulated HaCaT cells. E2F1 worked as a regulator of SPHK1; however, it did not affect HSP27. E2F1 knockdown drastically decreased the SPHK1 expression level and increased the intracellular ROS, as well as the expression levels of inflammation-related proteins in PMA-induced HaCaT cells. In addition, the inhibition of HSP27 decreased the anti-inflammatory effect of 625 nm PBM. Conclusions: E2F1 worked as a TF of SPHK1 and exhibited anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects through SPHK1 in PMA-induced HaCaT cells after 625 nm PBM. HSP27 is essential for the 625 nm PBM-induced anti-inflammatory function. Therefore, E2F1/SPHK1 and HSP27 could be used as potential biomarkers for anti-inflammatory therapy with 625 nm PBM.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKCs) isoforms play a key regulatory role in a variety of cellular functions, including cell growth and differentiation, gene expression, hormone secretion, etc. Patterns of expression for each PKC isoform differ among tissues, and it is also clear that different PKCs are often not functionally redundant, for example specific PKCs mediate specific cellular signals required for activation, proliferation, differentiation and survival of immune cells. In the last 20 years, we have been studying the role of PKCs, mainly PKCβ and its anchoring protein RACK1 (Receptor for Activated C Kinase 1), in immune cell activation, and their implication in immunosenescence and immunotoxicity. We could demonstrate that PKCβ and RACK1 are central in dendritic cell maturation and activation by chemical allergens, and their expressions can be targeted by EDCs and anti-inflammatory drugs. In this chapter, current knowledge on the role of PKC in immune cell activation and possible implication in immunotoxicity will be described.

Abstract
Hyperthermia is a rapidly growing field in cancer therapy and many advances have been made in understanding and applying the mechanisms of hyperthermia. Secondary effects of hyperthermia have been increasingly recognized as important in therapeutic effects and multiple studies have started to elucidate their implications for treatment. Immune effects have especially been recognized as important in the efficacy of hyperthermia treatment of cancer. Both thermo-ablative and mild hyperthermia activate the immune system, but mild hyperthermia seems to be more effective at doing so. This may suggest that mild hyperthermia has some advantages over thermo-ablative hyperthermia and research into immune effects of mild hyperthermia should continue.

Abstract
Hyperthermia is a cancer treatment where tumor tissue is heated to around 40 °C. Hyperthermia shows both cancer cell cytotoxicity and immune response stimulation via immune cell activation. Immunogenic responses encompass the innate and adaptive immune systems, involving the activation of macrophages, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, and T cells. Moreover, hyperthermia is commonly used in combination with different treatment modalities, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, for better clinical outcomes. In this review, we will focus on hyperthermia-induced immunogenic effects and molecular events to improve radiotherapy efficacy. The beneficial potential of integrating radiotherapy with hyperthermia is also discussed.

Abstract
Receptor for Activated C Kinase 1 (RACK1) pseudosubstrate is a commercially available peptide that directly activates protein kinase C-β (PKCβ). We have recently shown that RACK1 pseudosubstrate, alone or in combination with classical immune activators, results in increased cytokine production and CD86 upregulation in primary leukocytes. Furthermore, we demonstrated a role of PKCβ and RACK1 in chemical allergen-induced CD86 expression and IL-8 production in both THP-1 cells and primary human dendritic cells. Aim of this study was to shed light on the mechanisms underlying RACK1 pseudosubstrate-induced immune activation and to compare it to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The human promyelocytic cell line THP-1 was used throughout the study. RACK1 pseudosubstrate induced rapid (5 min) and dose-related PKCβ activation as assessed by its membrane translocation. Among the proteins phosphorylated, we identified Hsp27. Both RACK1 pseudosubstrate and LPS induce its phosphorylation and release in culture medium. The release of Hsp27 induced by RACK1 pseudosubstrate was also confirmed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. To evaluate the role of Hsp27 in RACK1 pseudosubstrate or LPS-induced cell activation, we conducted Hsp27 silencing and neutralization experiments. Both strategies confirmed the central role of Hsp27 in RACK1 pseudosubstrate or LPS-induced cell activation, as assessed by IL-8 production and upregulation of CD86.

Abstract
PURPOSE We have recently reported lipopolysaccharide (LPS) pretreatment attenuated renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), but the exact mechanism remains to be well elucidated. It was reported that heat shock protein (Hsp) 27 was up-regulated after administration of LPS, but whether a direct link existed between Hsp27 up-regulation and LPS-induced protection against renal IRI is still unknown. METHODS Mice were exposed to IRI or sham procedure, with pretreatment of LPS or not. Quercetin, an inhibitor of Hsp27 synthesis, was used, and an RNA interference with adenovirus vector using short hairpin RNA targeting Hsp27 was developed for inhibition of Hsp27 in mice. In addition, mice trans-infected with adenovirus vector encoding Hsp27 were used to testify the role of Hsp27 overexpression in LPS-induced renoprotection. Renal function, histological damage, inflammatory reaction, oxidative stress and apoptosis indices were measured. Western blot analysis was used to detect expression of Hsp27. RESULTS We found LPS pretreatment stimulated renal up-regulation of Hsp27 and reduced renal IRI proven by less renal dysfunction, histological damage, inflammatory reaction, oxidative stress and apoptosis. It was observed that inhibition of Hsp27 synthesis by Quercetin abolished LPS-induced renoprotective effects. After renal knockdown of Hsp27, LPS-induced tolerance against renal IRI was largely removed. Mice with Hsp27 overexpression showed significantly improved renal function after IRI and LPS combined with Hsp27 overexpression had a synergistic effect on protection against renal IRI. CONCLUSION Administration of LPS produces protective effects against renal IRI via Hsp27 up-regulation. Preconditional Hsp27 up-regulation might have a great potential for the treatment of renal IRI via ameliorating apoptosis.

HSPB1 mutations causing hereditary neuropathy in humans disrupt non-cell autonomous protection of motor neurons. Exp Neurol 2017; 297:101-109.

Abstract
Heat shock protein beta-1 (HSPB1), is a ubiquitously expressed, multifunctional protein chaperone. Mutations in HSPB1 result in the development of a late-onset, distal hereditary motor neuropathy type II (dHMN) and axonal Charcot-Marie Tooth disease with sensory involvement (CMT2F). The functional consequences of HSPB1 mutations associated with hereditary neuropathy are unknown. HSPB1 also displays neuroprotective properties in many neuronal disease models, including the motor neuron disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). HSPB1 is upregulated in SOD1-ALS animal models during disease progression, predominately in glial cells. Glial cells are known to contribute to motor neuron loss in ALS through a non-cell autonomous mechanism. In this study, we examined the non-cell autonomous role of wild type and mutant HSPB1 in an astrocyte-motor neuron co-culture model system of ALS. Astrocyte-specific overexpression of wild type HSPB1 was sufficient to attenuate SOD1(G93A) astrocyte-mediated toxicity in motor neurons, whereas, overexpression of mutHSPB1 failed to ameliorate motor neuron toxicity. Expression of a phosphomimetic HSPB1 mutant in SOD1(G93A) astrocytes also reduced toxicity to motor neurons, suggesting that phosphorylation may contribute to HSPB1 mediated-neuroprotection. These data provide evidence that astrocytic HSPB1 expression may play a central role in motor neuron health and maintenance.

Abstract
During its intra-erythrocytic development, the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum synthesizes insoluble hemozoin (HZ) crystals that are released into the circulation upon rupture of parasitized red blood cells, and rapidly phagocytized by host mononuclear cells. Here, HZ persists undigested, causing functional impairment and possibly leading to increased host susceptibility to secondary infections. In patients with malaria and visceral leishmaniasis (VL) co-infections, HZ-loaded macrophages are likely to co-harbor Leishmania donovani parasites, but whether this might influence the course of the Leishmania infection is unknown. In this study, L. donovani amastigote growth was monitored in mouse RAW 264.7 macrophages and PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells previously exposed to increasing amounts of HZ or its synthetic analogue β-hematin (BH). Latex beads were used as a phagocytic control. Data demonstrate that phagocytosis of HZ and BH by RAW 264.7 cells promoted infection therein by L. donovani parasites in a dose-dependent fashion. Similar results were not observed when using THP-1 cells, despite a clear persistence of undigested heme up to 48h after phagocytosis. Conditioning with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/interferon (IFN)-γ prior to Leishmania infection triggered the release in RAW 264.7 cells of nitric oxide (NO), a highly leishmanicidal metabolite. However, neither HZ nor BH pre-ingestion were able to inhibit NO production following stimulation with LPS/IFN-γ, suggesting that the HZ- and BH-promoting effect on L. donovani infection occurred with an NO-independent mechanism. In conclusion, these preliminary findings highlight a possible detrimental effect of HZ on the course of VL, warranting further investigation into the clinical relevance of the current models.

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate Inhibits LPS-Induced NF-κB and MAPK Signaling Pathways in Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophages. Gut Liver 2012; 6:188-96. [PMID: 22570747 PMCID: PMC3343156 DOI: 10.5009/gnl.2012.6.2.188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2011] [Revised: 07/24/2011] [Accepted: 07/24/2011] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Background/Aims Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the primary catechin in green tea, has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. The aim of the current study was to characterize the impact of EGCG on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced innate signaling in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) isolated from ICR mice. Methods The effect of EGCG on LPS-induced pro-inflammatory gene expression and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling was examined using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and the electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Results EGCG inhibited accumulation of LPS-induced IL-12p40, IL-6, MCP-1, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 mRNA in BMMs. EGCG blocked LPS-induced IκBα degradation and RelA nuclear translocation. EGCG blocked the DNA-binding activity of NF-κB. LPS-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK, and p38 was inhibited by EGCG. U0126 (an inhibitor of MEK-1/2) suppressed the LPS-induced IL-12p40, IL-6, MCP-1, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 mRNA accumulation in BMMs. Conclusions These results indicate that EGCG may prevent LPS-induced pro-inflammatory gene expression through blocking NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways in BMMs.

Abstract
Appropriate regulation and subsequent resolution of acute inflammatory events is critical to the prevention of autoinflammatory diseases. Indeed, the chronic inflammation observed in diseases such as RA is at least partially consequent on the failure of endogenous immunoregulation. Current RA therapies (e.g. anti-TNF-α inhibitors and MTX) inhibit components of the inflammatory disease process without directly promoting the resolution of inflammation. We propose that the next generation of RA therapeutics will complement and augment endogenous immunoregulatory and pro-resolution immunological networks, thus promoting the definitive resolution of inflammation rather than temporary immunological control. Of particular interest with respect to this therapeutic approach is binding immunoglobulin protein [BiP; also known as glucose-regulated protein-78 (GRP78)], a member of the recently defined resolution-associated molecular pattern (RAMP) family of molecules. In this review, we consider the preclinical evidence from experiments in mouse and man that suggests BiP and other members of the RAMP family have the potential to herald a new generation of immunotherapeutics.

Abstract
More than 80% of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients have some degree of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). In addition to arteries and veins, capillaries can also be affected. Capillary CAA (capCAA), rather than CAA in larger vessels, is associated with flame-like amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposits that may extend beyond the vessel wall and radiate into the neuropil, a phenomenon also known as "dyshoric angiopathy." Aβ deposits in AD, parenchymal as well as (cap)CAA and dyshoric angiopathy, are associated with a local inflammatory reaction, including activation of microglial cells and astrocytes that, among others, produce cytokines and reactive oxygen species. This neuroinflammatory reaction may account for at least part of the cognitive decline. In previous studies we observed that small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are associated with Aβ deposits in AD. In this study the molecular chaperones Hsp20, HspB8 and HspB2B3 were found to colocalize with CAA and capCAA in AD brains. In addition, Hsp20, HspB8 and HspB2B3 colocalized with intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) in capCAA-associated dyshoric angiopathy. Furthermore, we demonstrated that Hsp20, HspB8 and HspB2B3 induced production of interleukin 8, soluble ICAM-1 and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 by human leptomeningeal smooth muscle cells and human brain astrocytes in vitro and that Hsp27 inhibited production of transforming growth factor beta 1 and CD40 ligand. Our results suggest a central role for sHsps in the neuroinflammatory reaction in AD and CAA and thus in contributing to cognitive decline.

Abstract
The resolution of inflammation is central to the maintenance of good health and immune homeostasis. Recently, several intracellular stress proteins have been described as having extracellular properties that are anti-inflammatory or favour the resolution of inflammation. We propose that these molecules should be defined as resolution-associated molecular patterns (RAMPs). RAMPs are released at times of cellular stress and help to counterbalance the inflammatory effects of pathogen-associated (PAMPs) and damage-associated (DAMPs) molecular patterns. We propose that heat shock protein 10 (HSP10), αB-crystallin (αBC), HSP27 and binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP) should be considered founding members of the RAMP family. A greater understanding of RAMP biology may herald the development of novel immunotherapies.

Abstract
Antibody titers to several heat shock proteins (anti-Hsps) have been reported to be associated with the severity and progression of cardiovascular disease. However, there are little data regarding anti-Hsp27 titers in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). A total of 400 patients with suspected CAD were recruited. Based on the results of coronary angiography, these patients were classified into CAD(+) (n = 300) and CAD(-) (n = 100) groups defined as patients with ≥50% and <50% stenosis of any major coronary artery, respectively. Eighty-three healthy subjects were also recruited as the control group. Serum anti-Hsp27 IgG titers were measured using an in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. CAD(+) patients had significantly higher anti-Hsp27 titers compared with both CAD(-) and control groups. Anti-Hsp27 titers were also higher in the CAD(-) group compared with the control group. With regard to the number of affected vessels in the CAD(+) group, patients with three-vessel disease had higher anti-Hsp27 titers compared with both two-vessel disease (2VD) and one-vessel disease (1VD) subgroups. However, there was no significant difference between 1VD and 2VD subgroups. In multiple linear regression analysis, the number of narrowed vessels and smoking were significant independent determinants of serum anti-Hsp27 titers. The present findings indicate that serum anti-Hsp27 titers may be associated with the presence and severity of coronary artery disease.
