Transcriptomic profiling of the thermal tolerance in two subspecies of the bay scallop Argopecten irradians. COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY. PART D, GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 2024; 51:101246. [PMID: 38781887 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbd.2024.101246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
The bay scallop is a eurythermal species with high economic value and now represents the most cultured bivalve species in China. Two subspecies of the bay scallop, the northern subspecies Argopecten irradians irradians Korean population (KK) and the southern subspecies Argopecten irradians concentricus (MM), exhibited distinct adaptations to heat stress. However, the molecular mechanism of heat resistance of the two subspecies remains unclear. In this study, we compared the transcriptomic responses of the two subspecies to heat stress and identified the involved differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and pathways. More DEGs were found in the KK than in the MM when exposed to high temperatures, indicating elevated sensitivity to thermal stress in the KK. Enrichment analysis suggests that KK scallops may respond to heat stress more swiftly by regulating GTPase activity. Meanwhile, MM scallops exhibited higher resistance to heat stress mainly by effective activation of their antioxidant system. Chaperone proteins may play different roles in responses to heat stress in the two subspecies. In both subspecies, the expression levels of antioxidants such as GST were significantly increased; the glycolysis process regulated by PC and PCK1 was greatly intensified; and both apoptotic and anti-apoptotic systems were significantly activated. The pathways related to protein translation and hydrolysis, oxidoreductase activity, organic acid metabolism, and cell apoptosis may also play pivotal roles in the responses to heat stress. The results of this study may provide a theoretical basis for marker-assisted breeding of heat-resistant strains.

Abstract
Glioma cells exhibit genetic and metabolic alterations that affect the deregulation of several cellular signal transduction pathways, including those related to glucose metabolism. Moreover, oncogenic signaling pathways induce the expression of metabolic genes, increasing the metabolic enzyme activities and thus the critical biosynthetic pathways to generate nucleotides, amino acids, and fatty acids, which provide energy and metabolic intermediates that are essential to accomplish the biosynthetic needs of glioma cells. In this review, we aim to explore how dysregulated metabolic enzymes and their metabolites from primary metabolism pathways in glioblastoma (GBM) such as glycolysis and glutaminolysis modulate anabolic and catabolic metabolic pathways as well as pro-oncogenic signaling and contribute to the formation, survival, growth, and malignancy of glioma cells. Also, we discuss promising therapeutic strategies by targeting the key players in metabolic regulation. Therefore, the knowledge of metabolic reprogramming is necessary to fully understand the biology of malignant gliomas to improve patient survival significantly.

Abstract
Temperature is a major environmental factor that influences growth, development, metabolism, and physiological performance in fish. Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) is a highly productive fish in freshwater culture. To understand the molecular mechanism of grass carp under heat stress, we used RNA-Seq to analyze the liver and brain transcriptome of 12 libraries constructed from high-temperature (36 °C) and control (28 °C) groups. We obtained 42.49 and 42.57 GB of clean data from six liver and six brain libraries, respectively, and identified 2,534 genes that were differentially expressed in liver tissue and 1622 in brain tissue (P < 0.05). According to KEGG analysis, significant differences occurred in the expression of genes involved in metabolic and immune pathways, such as the cAMP signaling pathway, apoptosis, calcium signaling pathway, lipid metabolism, and protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling pathways. This study revealed that high temperature enhanced lipid metabolism, reduced fatty acid synthesis, and disrupted the immune system of grass carp. These results investigated the molecular regulation of heat stress in grass carp and provided valuable information for the healthy culture of grass carp under high temperatures.

Dietary nanoselenium supplementation for heat-stressed rainbow trout: effects on organizational structure, lipid changes, and biochemical parameters as well as heat-shock-protein- and selenoprotein-related gene expression. FISH PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY 2022; 48:707-722.

Abstract
Nanoselenium (nano-Se) shows unique protective effects against environmental heat stress in rainbow trout as a selenium source additive and free radical scavenger. Accordingly, we investigated the effects of supplementation with different levels of nano-Se (0, 5, and 10 mg/kg) and before and after heat stress (24°C) for different treatment times on the dynamic changes of rainbow trout liver tissue structure, lipid changes, biochemical properties, and gene expression. The results showed that, under heat stress, the fish supplementation of 5 mg/kg nano-Se significantly increased liver glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and upregulated expression levels of HSP70b, HSP90a1, GPx1a, and Trx mRNAs, while liver alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels as well as tissue structure damage and lipid accumulation were decreased. Combining the trends for the above indicators indicated that stress began to increase significantly at 8 h. It can be concluded that supplementation with 5 mg/kg nano-Se effectively alleviates stress damage in rainbow trout. Furthermore, stress at 24°C for 8 h can be thought of as a critical time point for the study of heat stress in rainbow trout, with significant changes in response but no serious damage. Thus, these results provide a reference for the addition of nano-Se to rainbow trout feed and provide theoretical and practical guidance for enhancing the resistance of rainbow trout to heat stress.

Abstract
Water temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting the growth and survival of fish. Increased water temperature became a global problem and it is estimated that there will be an increase in water temperature due to global climate change. The physiological mechanism for the effects of high water temperature on the fish brain is not fully known. In the present study, fish were exposed to different temperatures (10 °C/15 °C/20 °C/25°) and brain tissues were sampled 2 h-4h-6h-8h per hour respectively and then we investigated transcriptional changes of BDNF, cFOS, apoptotic genes (caspase 3, Bax, Bcl2), heat shock genes (Hsp70 and Hsp 90) ER-Stress genes (grp78, atf6, and ire1) and oxidative stress genes (CAT, SOD, and GPx) and also immunoflourescence changes of BDNF and cFOSin rainbow trout brain. The results indicated that high temperature stress lead to physiological changes in the fish brain by causing a decrease in mRNA expression levels of CAT, SOD, GPx and Bcl2 and by causing an increase in mRNA expression of BDNF, cFOS, apoptotic genes (caspase 3, Bax), heat shock genes (Hsp70 and Hsp 90) ER-Stress genes (grp78, atf6, and ire1). This study will provide important information to elucidate the physiological mechanisms related to the effects of high water temperature on the fish brain.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a family of proteins that are expressed by cells in reply to stressors. The changes in concentration of HSPs could be utilized as a bio-indicator of oxidative stress caused by heavy metal. Exposure to the different heavy metals may induce or reduce the expression of different HSPs. The exposure to cadmium ion (Cd2+) could increase HSP70 and HSP27 over 2- to 10-fold or even more. The in vitro and in vivo models indicate that the HSP70 family is more sensitive to Cd intoxication than other HSPs. The analyses of other HSPs along with HSP70, especially HSP27, could also be useful to obtain more accurate results. In this regard, this review focuses on examining the literature to bold the futuristic uses of HSPs as bio-indicators in the initial assessment of Cd exposure risks in defined environments.

Abstract
Mitochondrial disease represents a collection of rare genetic disorders caused by mitochondrial dysfunction. These disorders can be quite complex and heterogeneous, and it is recognized that mitochondrial disease can affect any tissue at any age. The reasons for this variability are not well understood. In this review, we develop and expand a subset of mitochondrial diseases including predominantly skeletal phenotypes. Understanding how impairment ofdiverse mitochondrial functions leads to a skeletal phenotype will help diagnose and treat patients with mitochondrial disease and provide additional insight into the growing list of human pathologies associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. The underlying disease genes encode factors involved in various aspects of mitochondrial protein homeostasis, including proteases and chaperones, mitochondrial protein import machinery, mediators of inner mitochondrial membrane lipid homeostasis, and aminoacylation of mitochondrial tRNAs required for translation. We further discuss a complex of frequently associated phenotypes (short stature, cataracts, and cardiomyopathy) potentially explained by alterations to steroidogenesis, a process regulated by mitochondria. Together, these observations provide novel insight into the consequences of impaired mitochondrial protein homeostasis.

Abstract
Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) is an economically important cool-water fish. In recent years, its cultivation has become threatened by higher temperatures in summer. We previously investigated the effects of heat stress on pikeperch liver under different temperatures, but the molecular mechanism of the heat-stress response is still unknown. This study applied consistent heat stress (29 °C, 0-48 h) to pikeperch juveniles, and a transcriptomic profile of pikeperch liver under heat stress (29 °C, 0 h) was performed by RNA-Seq. The antioxidant status, changes in liver histology, and antioxidant gene expression at different time points were examined. We identified 403 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), many of which were enriched in KEGG pathways, including protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum (ER), insulin signaling, and immune-related pathways. Among these, the most significant heat-stress-related pathway was protein processing in ER, indicating that this pathway is critical for the heat-stress response. After consistent heat stress at 29 °C, the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), the activities of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and catalase (CAT), and the mRNA expression of manganese SOD (Mn-SOD), CAT, and glutathione peroxidase 1 and 7 (GPx1 and GPx7) in the treated groups showed the same trend of first increasing and then decreasing. Levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) content did not show significant differences between samples at 0 h and 3 h, but significantly increased by 6 h, and thereafter decreased. The liver tissue was normal at 0 h (29 °C); however, it suffered histological damage with increased duration of the heat stress. Above all, heat stress at 29 °C seemed to cause oxidative damage and dysfunction in pikeperch liver between 3 h and 48 h. The present results indicate that pikeperch have the capacity to defend against heat stress and maintain relative balance of oxidation-reduction reactions mainly through activating the antioxidant system, protein processing in ER, the insulin-signaling pathway, and immune-related pathways.

Abstract
Temperature plays an important role on reproductive physiology of vertebrates including mammals, fish, and birds. It has varying effects on fish reproduction depending on the species; higher temperatures favor the spring-spawning species, while lower temperatures stimulate reproduction in autumn spawners. To evaluate the impact of high temperature on the reproductive physiology of minnow Puntius sophore, we carried out expression analysis of selected genes associated with gamete quality (hsp60, hsp70, hsp90, hsf1, vtg), pleuripotency (sox2, oct4, nanog), and sex determination (dmrt1) in gonads (ovary and testis) of P. sophore, heat stressed for different time periods (36 °C/7 days or 60 days) using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Expression of most of the hsp, vtg, and pleuripotency marker genes sox-2, oct-4, and nanog genes was downregulated in both ovary and testis of heat-stressed fish. The expression of dmrt-1 was upregulated in testis but downregulated in ovary of the heat-stressed fish which could be a male favoring effect of high temperature in P. sophore. This study suggests that the reproductive physiology and health of the nutrient dense P. sophore would be negatively affected by high temperature stress.

Abstract
Abstract
Pyrethroids are a class of synthetic insecticides that are used widely in and around households to control the pest. Concerns about exposure to this group of pesticides are now mainly related to their neurotoxicity and nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurodegeneration seen in Parkinson’s disease. The main neurotoxic mechanisms include oxidative stress, inflammation, neuronal cell loss, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The main neurodegeneration targets are ion channels. However, other receptors, enzymes, and several signalling pathways can also participate in disorders induced by pyrethroids. The aim of this review is to elucidate the main mechanisms involved in neurotoxicity caused by pyrethroids deltamethrin, permethrin, and cypermethrin. We also review common targets and pathways of Parkinson’s disease therapy, including Nrf2, Nurr1, and PPARγ, and how they are affected by exposure to pyrethroids. We conclude with possibilities to be addressed by future research of novel methods of protection against neurological disorders caused by pesticides that may also find their use in the management/treatment of Parkinson’s disease.

The Hsp70 inhibitor 2-phenylethynesulfonamide inhibits replication and carcinogenicity of Epstein-Barr virus by inhibiting the molecular chaperone function of Hsp70. Cell Death Dis 2018; 9:734. [PMID: 29959331 PMCID: PMC6026193 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-018-0779-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2018] [Revised: 05/27/2018] [Accepted: 06/06/2018] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) can infect cells in latent and lytic period and cause serious disease. Epstein–Barr virus nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) is essential for the maintenance of the EBV DNA episome, replication and transcription. 2-phenylethynesulfonamide (PES) is a small molecular inhibitor of Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), which can interact with Hsp70 and disrupts its association with co-chaperones and substrate proteins of Hsp70. In our study, we found that PES could decrease the expression of EBNA1, which is independent of effects on EBNA1 transcription or proteasomal degradation pathway. The central glycine–alanine repeats domain was not required for inhibition of EBNA1 expression by PES. Also, PES could reduce the amount of intracellular EBV genomic DNA. PES inhibited proliferation and migration but induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of EBV positive cells. In addition, silencing of Hsp70 decreased expression of EBNA1 and the amounts of intracellular EBV genomic DNA, and PES increased this effect on a dose-dependent manner. On the contrast, over-expression of Hsp70 enhanced the expression of EBNA1 and the amounts of intracellular EBV genomic DNA, but PES inhibited this effect on a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, Hsp70 interacted with EBNA1 but PES interfered this interaction. Our results indicate that PES suppresses replication and carcinogenicity of Epstein–Barr virus via inhibiting the molecular chaperone function of Hsp70.

Abstract
Background The bcr-abl fusion gene is the pathological origin of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and plays a critical role in the resistance of imatinib. Thus, bcr-abl disruption-based novel therapeutic strategy may warrant exploration. In our study, we were surprised to find that the characteristics of bcr-abl sequences met the design requirements of zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs). Methods We constructed the ZFNs targeting bcr-abl with high specificity through simple modular assembly approach. Western blotting was conducted to detect the expression of BCR-ABL and phosphorylation of its downstream STAT5, ERK and CRKL in CML cells. CCK8 assay, colony-forming assay and flow cytometry (FCM) were used to evaluate the effect of the ZFNs on the viablity and apoptosis of CML cells and CML CD34+ cells. Moreover, mice model was used to determine the ability of ZFNs in disrupting the leukemogenesis of bcr-abl in vivo. Results The ZFNs skillfully mediated 8-base NotI enzyme cutting site addition in bcr-abl gene of imatinib sensitive and resistant CML cells by homology-directed repair (HDR), which led to a stop codon and terminated the translation of BCR-ABL protein. As expected, the disruption of bcr-abl gene induced cell apoptosis and inhibited cell proliferation. Notably, we obtained similar result in CD34+ cells from CML patients. Moreover, the ZFNs significantly reduced the oncogenicity of CML cells in mice. Conclusion These results reveal that the bcr-abl gene disruption based on ZFNs may provide a treatment choice for imatinib resistant or intolerant CML patients.

FISH PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY 2017; 43:1131-1141. [PMID: 28315162 DOI: 10.1007/s10695-017-0358-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2016] [Accepted: 02/23/2017] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Heat stress is one of the major environmental concerns in global warming regime and rising temperature has resulted in mass mortalities of animals including fishes. Therefore, strategies for high temperature stress tolerance and ameliorating the effects of heat stress are being looked for. In an earlier study, we reported that Nrf-2 (nuclear factor E2-related factor 2) mediated upregulation of antioxidative enzymes and heat shock proteins (Hsps) provide survivability to fish under heat stress. In this study, we have evaluated the ameliorative potential of dietary curcumin, a potential Nrf-2 inducer in heat stressed cyprinid Puntius sophore. Fishes were fed with diet supplemented with 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% curcumin at the rate 2% of body weight daily in three separate groups (n = 40 in each group) for 60 days. Fishes fed with basal diet (without curcumin) served as the control (n = 40). Critical thermal maxima (CTmax) was determined for all the groups (n = 10, in duplicates) after the feeding trial. Significant increase in the CTmax was observed in the group fed with 1.5% curcumin- supplemented fishes whereas it remained similar in groups fed with 0.5%, and 1% curcumin-supplemented diet, as compared to control. To understand the molecular mechanism of elevated thermotolerance in the 1.5% curcumin supplemented group, fishes were given a sub-lethal heat shock treatment (36 °C) for 6 h and expression analysis of nrf-2, keap-1, sod, catalase, gpx, and hsp27, hsp60, hsp70, hsp90, and hsp110 was carried out using RT-PCR. In the gill, expression of nrf-2, sod, catalase, gpx, and hsp60, hsp70, hsp90, and hsp110 was found to be elevated in the 1.5% curcumin-fed heat-shocked group compared to control and the basal diet-fed, heat-shocked fishes. Similarly, in the liver, upregulation in expression of nrf-2, sod, catalase, and hsp70 and hsp110 was observed in 1.5% curcumin supplemented and heat shocked group. Thus, this study showed that supplementation of curcumin augments tolerance to high temperature stress in P. sophore that could be attributed to nrf-2-induced upregulation of antioxidative enzymes sod, catalase, gpx, and the hsps.

Nrf-2/Gst-α mediated imatinib resistance through rapid 4-HNE clearance. Exp Cell Res 2017; 353:72-78.

Abstract
The advent of imatinib mesylate (IM) has dramatically improved the outcome of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, but drug resistance, particularly in advanced stage of disease, portents eventual relapse and progression. To identify the candidate molecule responsible for resistance during IM treatment, an IM-resistant K562 cell line was generated by culturing in gradually increasing dose of IM. The expression of Nrf-2 and its downstream target, Gst-α, were significantly induced in these cells. GST-α, in turn, mediated cell survival by maintaining intracellular low level of 4-HNE. Inhibition of Nrf-2 effectively reduced the expression of Gst-α, resulting in accumulation of 4-HNE and elevated sensitiveness to IM. Moreover, in IM-sensitive K562 cells enforced Gst-α expression strikingly protected cells from the insult of IM. Finally, we also examined the levels of Nrf-2 in clinical bone morrow samples. Nrf-2 and Gst-α were more abundant in bone morrow of CML patients compared with that of healthy donors. In addition, Nrf-2 and Gst-α were further up-regulated in samples of patients with weak response to IM. In conclusion, our study shows that rapid clearance of 4-HNE by Nrf-2/GST may represents a novel molecular basis of IM resistance in CML.

Abstract
Changes in the expression of a number of hsp genes in minnow Puntius sophore collected from a hot spring run-off (Atri hot spring in Odisha, India; 20o09'N 85°18'E, 36-38 °C) were investigated to study the upper thermal acclimation response under heat stress, using same species from aquaculture ponds (water temperature 27 °C) as control. Expression of hsp genes was analyzed in both groups using RT-qPCR, which showed up-regulation of hsp90 (2.1-fold) and hsp47 (2.5-fold) in hot spring run-off fishes, whereas there was no alteration in expression of other hsps. As the fish inhabit the hot spring run-off area for very long duration, they could have adapted to the environment. To test this hypothesis, fishes collected from hot spring run-off were divided into two groups; one was heat-shocked at 41 °C/24 h, and the other was acclimatized at 27 °C/24 h. Up-regulation of all the hsps (except hsp78) was observed in the heat-shocked fishes, whereas expression of all hsps was found to be down-regulated to the basal level in fishes maintained at 27 °C/24 h. Pathway analysis showed that the expressions of all the hsps except hsp90 are regulated by the transcription factor heat shock factor 1 (Hsf1). This study showed that hsp90 and hsp47 play an important role in Puntius sophore for surviving in the high-temperature environment of the hot spring run-off. Additionally, we show that plasticity in hsp gene expression is not lost in the hot spring run-off population.

Abstract
This prospective randomized clinical study is aimed to evidence the reproductive impairment of frequent scrotal heat exposure. A total of 20 normozoospermic subjects were randomly divided into two groups to undergo testicular warming in a 43 °C water bath 10 times, for 30 min each time; the subjects in group 1 underwent testicular warming for 10 consecutive days and those in group 2 once every 3 days. Sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA), sperm mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), apoptosis, and seminal plasma-soluble Fas (sFas) were analyzed before treatment and every 2 weeks after, for a total of 10 times. In group 1, some critical proteins involved in heat stress, hypoxia, structure, and function of sperm mitochondria and flagella were evaluated before hyperthermia and 2, 6, 10, and 16 weeks after hyperthermia. Both groups showed a reversible increase in the proportion of spermatozoa with a disrupted MMP (both p < 0.05 when the minimums were compared with baseline levels, the same below), sperm apoptosis (both p < 0.01) and high DNA stainability (both p < 0.05). The sFas concentration in both groups showed no obvious changes except one: the value at week 2 was significantly increased over baseline in group 1 (p = 0.036). The level of Bcl-2 decreased significantly at weeks 6 and 10 (p = 0.017 and 0.05, respectively) and recovered to baseline at week 16. Proteins involved in heat stress and mitochondria functions were up-regulated, whereas in flagella structure and function was down-regulated (all p < 0.05). This study demonstrated that transient and frequent scrotal hyperthermia severely and reversibly damaged spermatogenesis, consecutive heat exposure had more serious effects than intermittent exposure, whereas intermittent exposure led to a later recovery of sperm damage.

Abstract
The main goal of anti-cancer therapeutic approaches is to induce apoptosis in tumor masses but not in the normal tissues. Nevertheless, the combination of photodynamic irradiation with complementary oncostatic agents contributes to better therapeutic performance. Here, we applied two different cell lines; SKOV3 ovarian carcinoma cells and HUVECs umbilical cord cells as in vitro models to pinpoint whether pharmacological concentration of melatonin in combination with photodynamic therapy induces cell cytotoxicity. The cells were separately treated with various concentrations of melatonin (0 to 10 mM) and photodynamic irradiation alone or in combination. Cells were preliminary exposed to increasing concentrations of melatonin for 24 h and subsequently underwent laser irradiation for 60 s with an output power of 80 mW in continuous mode at 675 nm wavelength and a total light dose of 13.22 J/cm2. Cell viability, apoptosis/necrosis rates, and reactive oxygen species levels as well as heat shock protein 70 expression were monitored after single and combined treatments. A statistical analysis was performed by applying one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc Tukey's test. Combination treatment of both cell lines caused a marked increase in apoptosis/necrosis rate, reactive oxygen species generation, and heat shock protein 70 expression compared to incubation of the cells with each agent alone (p < 0.05). SKOV3 cancer cells expressed higher level of heat shock protein 70 under experimental procedure as compared to HUVECs (p < 0.05). Our results introduce melatonin as a potent stimulus for enhancing the efficacy of laser on induction of apoptosis in tumor cells.
