[PMID: 39130628 PMCID: PMC11310057 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1403943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Alternative and complementary therapies play an imperative role in the clinical management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and exploring and utilizing natural products from a genetic perspective may yield novel insights into the mechanisms and interventions of the disorder. Methods To identify the therapeutic target of baicalin for T2DM, we conducted a Mendelian randomization study. Druggable targets of baicalin were obtained by integrating multiple databases, and target-associated cis-expression quantitative trait loci (cis-eQTL) originated from the eQTLGen consortium. Summary statistics for T2DM were derived from two independent genome-wide association studies available through the DIAGRAM Consortium (74,124 cases vs. 824,006 controls) and the FinnGen R9 repository (9,978 cases vs. 12,348 controls). Network construction and enrichment analysis were applied to the therapeutic targets of baicalin. Colocalization analysis was utilized to assess the potential for the therapeutic targets and T2DM to share causative genetic variations. Molecular docking was performed to validate the potency of baicalin. Single-cell RNA sequencing was employed to seek evidence of therapeutic targets' involvement in islet function. Results Eight baicalin-related targets proved to be significant in the discovery and validation cohorts. Genetic evidence indicated the expression of ANPEP, BECN1, HNF1A, and ST6GAL1 increased the risk of T2DM, and the expression of PGF, RXRA, SREBF1, and USP7 decreased the risk of T2DM. In particular, SREBF1 has significant interaction properties with other therapeutic targets and is supported by strong colocalization. Baicalin had favorable combination activity with eight therapeutic targets. The expression patterns of the therapeutic targets were characterized in cellular clusters of pancreatic tissues that exhibited a pseudo-temporal dependence on islet cell formation and development. Conclusion This study identified eight potential targets of baicalin for treating T2DM from a genetic perspective, contributing an innovative analytical framework for the development of natural products. We have offered fresh insights into the connections between therapeutic targets and islet cells. Further, fundamental experiments and clinical research are warranted to delve deeper into the molecular mechanisms of T2DM.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major complication of diabetes and is characterized by left ventricular dysfunction. Currently, there is a lack of effective treatments for DCM. Ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) plays a key role in various diseases. However, whether USP7 is involved in DCM has not been established. In this study, we demonstrated that USP7 was upregulated in diabetic mouse hearts and NMCMs co-treated with HG+PA or H9c2 cells treated with PA. Abnormalities in diabetic heart morphology and function were reversed by USP7 silencing through conditional gene knockout or chemical inhibition. Proteomic analysis coupled with biochemical validation confirmed that PCG1β was one of the direct protein substrates of USP7 and aggravated myocardial damage through coactivation of the PPARα signaling pathway. USP7 silencing restored the expression of fatty acid metabolism-related proteins and restored mitochondrial homeostasis by inhibiting mitochondrial fission and promoting fusion events. Similar effects were also observed in vitro. Our data demonstrated that USP7 promoted cardiometabolic metabolism disorders and mitochondrial homeostasis dysfunction via stabilizing PCG1β and suggested that silencing USP7 may be a therapeutic strategy for DCM.

Homeostatic coordination of cellular phosphate uptake and efflux requires an organelle-based receptor for the inositol pyrophosphate IP8. Cell Rep 2024; 43:114316. [PMID: 38833370 PMCID: PMC11284862 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.114316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Phosphate (Pi) serves countless metabolic pathways and is involved in macromolecule synthesis, energy storage, cellular signaling, and bone maintenance. Herein, we describe the coordination of Pi uptake and efflux pathways to maintain mammalian cell Pi homeostasis. We discover that XPR1, the presumed Pi efflux transporter, separately supervises rates of Pi uptake. This direct, regulatory interplay arises from XPR1 being a binding partner for the Pi uptake transporter PiT1, involving a predicted transmembrane helix/extramembrane loop in XPR1, and its hitherto unknown localization in a subset of intracellular LAMP1-positive puncta (named "XLPVs"). A pharmacological mimic of Pi homeostatic challenge is sensed by the inositol pyrophosphate IP8, which functionalizes XPR1 to respond in a temporally hierarchal manner, initially adjusting the rate of Pi efflux, followed subsequently by independent modulation of PiT1 turnover to reset the rate of Pi uptake. These observations generate a unifying model of mammalian cellular Pi homeostasis, expanding opportunities for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs), as one of the deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) families, regulate the fate of proteins and signaling pathway transduction by removing ubiquitin chains from the target proteins. USPs are essential for the modulation of a variety of physiological processes, such as DNA repair, cell metabolism and differentiation, epigenetic modulations as well as protein stability. Recently, extensive research has demonstrated that USPs exert a significant impact on innate and adaptive immune reactions, metabolic syndromes, inflammatory disorders, and infection via post-translational modification processes. This review summarizes the important roles of the USPs in the onset and progression of inflammatory diseases, including periodontitis, pneumonia, atherosclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, sepsis, hepatitis, diabetes, and obesity. Moreover, we highlight a comprehensive overview of the pathogenesis of USPs in these inflammatory diseases as well as post-translational modifications in the inflammatory responses and pave the way for future prospect of targeted therapies in these inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
In recent years, primary familial brain calcification (PFBC), a rare neurological disease characterized by a wide spectrum of cognitive disorders, has been associated to mutations in the sodium (Na)-Phosphate (Pi) co-transporter SLC20A2. However, the functional roles of the Na-Pi co-transporters in the brain remain still largely elusive. Here we show that Slc20a1 (PiT-1) and Slc20a2 (PiT-2) are the most abundant Na-Pi co-transporters expressed in the brain and are involved in the control of hippocampal-dependent learning and memory. We reveal that Slc20a1 and Slc20a2 are differentially distributed in the hippocampus and associated with independent gene clusters, suggesting that they influence cognition by different mechanisms. Accordingly, using a combination of molecular, electrophysiological and behavioral analyses, we show that while PiT-2 favors hippocampal neuronal branching and survival, PiT-1 promotes synaptic plasticity. The latter relies on a likely Otoferlin-dependent regulation of synaptic vesicle trafficking, which impacts the GABAergic system. These results provide the first demonstration that Na-Pi co-transporters play key albeit distinct roles in the hippocampus pertaining to the control of neuronal plasticity and cognition. These findings could provide the foundation for the development of novel effective therapies for PFBC and cognitive disorders.

Abstract
Biomineralization is a highly regulated process that results in the deposition of minerals in a precise manner, ultimately producing skeletal and dental hard tissues. Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role played by intracellular processes in initiating biomineralization. These processes involve various organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum(ER), mitochondria, and lysosomes, in the formation, accumulation, maturation, and secretion of calcium phosphate (CaP) particles. Particularly, the recent in-depth study of the dynamic process of the formation of amorphous calcium phosphate(ACP) precursors among organelles has made great progress in the development of the integrity of the biomineralization chain. However, the precise mechanisms underlying these intracellular processes remain unclear, and they cannot be fully integrated with the extracellular mineralization mechanism and the physicochemical structure development of the mineralization particles. In this review, we aim to focus on the recent progress made in understanding intracellular mineralization organelles' processes and their relationship with the physicochemical structure development of CaP and extracellular deposition of CaP particles.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of blindness in diabetic patients. However, the pathogenesis of DR is complex, and no firm conclusions have been drawn so far. It has become a hot spot in ophthalmology research to deeply study the mechanism of DR pathological changes and find effective treatment options. Human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) were induced by high glucose (HG) to construct DR cell model. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the viability of HRMECs. Transwell assay was used to detect the migration ability of HRMECs. Tube formation assay was used to identify the tube formation ability of HRMECs. The expressions of USP14, ATF2 and PIK3CD were detected by Western blot analysis and qRT-PCR assay. Immunoprecipitation (IP) was used to ascertain the relationship of USP14 and ATF2. To explore the regulatory relationship between ATF2 and PIK3CD by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. High glucose treatment promoted the proliferation, migration, and tube formation of HRMEC, and the expressions of USP14, ATF2 and PIK3CD were significantly up-regulated. USP14 or ATF2 knockdown inhibited HG-induced HRMECs proliferation, migration, and tube formation. USP14 regulated the expression of ATF2, and ATF2 promoted PIK3CD expression. PIK3CD overexpression attenuated the inhibitory effectiveness of USP14 knockdown on proliferation, migration and tube formation of DR cell model. Here, we revealed that USP14 regulated the ATF2/PIK3CD axis to promote proliferation, migration, and tube formation in HG-induced HRMECs.

Abstract
Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening condition in which the inner layer of the aorta tears. It has been reported that metabolic syndrome (MS) has a close linkage with aortic dissection. However, the inter-relational mechanisms between them were still unclear. This article explored the hub gene signatures and potential molecular mechanisms in AD and MS. We obtained five bulk RNA-seq datasets of AD, one single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) dataset of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (ATAA), and one bulk RNA-seq dataset of MS from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. Identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and key modules via weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), functional enrichment analysis, and machine learning algorithms (Random Forest and LASSO regression) were used to identify hub genes for diagnosing AD with MS. XGBoost further improved the diagnostic performance of the model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and precision-recall (PR) curves were developed to assess the diagnostic value. Then, immune cell infiltration and metabolism-associated pathways analyses were created to investigate immune cell and metabolism-associated pathway dysregulation in AD and MS. Finally, the scRNA-seq dataset was performed to confirm the expression levels of identified hub genes. 406 common DEGs were identified between the merged AD and MS datasets. Functional enrichment analysis revealed these DEGs were enriched for applicable terms of metabolism, cellular processes, organismal systems, and human diseases. Besides, the positively related key modules of AD and MS were mainly enriched in transcription factor binding and inflammatory response. In contrast, the negatively related modules were significantly associated with adaptive immune response and regulation of nuclease activity. Through machine learning, nine genes with common diagnostic effects were found in AD and MS, including MAD2L2, IMP4, PRPF4, CHSY1, SLC20A1, SLC9A1, TIPRL, DPYD, and MAPKAPK2. In the training set, the AUC of the hub gene on RP and RR curves was 1. In the AD verification set, the AUC of the Hub gene on RP and RR curves were 0.946 and 0.955, respectively. In the MS set, the AUC of the Hub gene on RP and RR curves were 0.978 and 0.98, respectively. scRNA-seq analysis revealed that the SLC20A1 was found to be relevant in fatty acid metabolic pathways and expressed in endothelial cells. Our study revealed the common pathogenesis of AD and MS. These common pathways and hub genes might provide new ideas for further mechanism research.

Abstract
Podocytes are crucially involved in blood filtration in the glomerulus. Their proper function relies on efficient insulin responsiveness. The insulin resistance of podocytes, defined as a reduction of cell sensitivity to this hormone, is the earliest pathomechanism of microalbuminuria that is observed in metabolic syndrome and diabetic nephropathy. In many tissues, this alteration is mediated by the phosphate homeostasis-controlling enzyme nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (NPP1). By binding to the insulin receptor (IR), NPP1 inhibits downstream cellular signaling. Our previous research found that hyperglycemic conditions affect another protein that is involved in phosphate balance, type III sodium-dependent phosphate transporter 1 (Pit 1). In the present study, we evaluated the insulin resistance of podocytes after 24 h of incubation under hyperinsulinemic conditions. Thereafter, insulin signaling was inhibited. The formation of NPP1/IR complexes was observed at that time. A novel finding in the present study was our observation of an interaction between NPP1 and Pit 1 after the 24 h stimulation of podocytes with insulin. After downregulation of the SLC20A1 gene, which encodes Pit 1, we established insulin resistance in podocytes that were cultured under native conditions, manifested as a lack of intracellular insulin signaling and the inhibition of glucose uptake via the glucose transporter type 4. These findings suggest that Pit 1 might be a major factor that participates in the NPP1-mediated inhibition of insulin signaling.

Insulin Suppresses Ubiquitination via the Deubiquitinating Enzyme Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 14, Independent of Proteasome Activity in H4IIEC3 Hepatocytes. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2023; 385:5-16. [PMID: 36328485 DOI: 10.1124/jpet.122.001088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Revised: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Ubiquitin-proteasome dysfunction contributes to obesity-related metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and fatty liver disease. However, the regulation of ubiquitin-proteasome activity by insulin remains to be elucidated. Here, we show that prolonged insulin stimulation activates proteasome function even though it reduces the ubiquitinated proteins in H4IIEC3 hepatocytes. Looking for a pathway by which insulin inhibits ubiquitination, we found that hepatic expression of ubiquitin-specific protease 14 (USP14) was upregulated in the liver of patients with insulin resistance. Indeed, the USP14-specific inhibitor IU1 canceled the insulin-mediated reduction of ubiquitinated proteins. Furthermore, insulin-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which was canceled by IU1, suggesting that USP14 activity is involved in insulin-induced ER stress. Co-stimulation with insulin and IU1 for 2 hours upregulated the nuclear translocation of the lipogenic transcription factor, sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), upregulated the expression of the lipogenic gene, fatty acid synthase (Fasn), and repressed the gluconeogenic genes. In conclusion, insulin activates proteasome function even though it inhibits protein ubiquitination by activating USP14 in hepatocytes. USP14 activation by insulin inhibits mature SREBP-1c while upregulating ER stress and the expression of genes involved in gluconeogenesis. Further understanding mechanisms underlying the USP14 activation and its pleiotropic effects may lead to therapeutic development for obesity-associated metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and fatty liver disease. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study shows that insulin stimulation inhibits ubiquitination by activating USP14, independent of its effect on proteasome activity in hepatocytes. USP14 also downregulates the nuclear translocation of the lipogenic transcription factor SREBP-1c and upregulates the expression of genes involved in gluconeogenesis. Since USP14 is upregulated in the liver of insulin-resistant patients, understanding mechanisms underlying the USP14 activation and its pleiotropic effects will help develop treatments for metabolic disorders such as diabetes and fatty liver.

Abstract
Ubiquitination and deubiquitination are reversible processes that modify the characteristics of target proteins, including stability, intracellular localization, and enzymatic activity. Ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) constitute the largest deubiquitinating enzyme family. To date, accumulating evidence indicates that several USPs positively and negatively affect metabolic diseases. USP22 in pancreatic β-cells, USP2 in adipose tissue macrophages, USP9X, 20, and 33 in myocytes, USP4, 7, 10, and 18 in hepatocytes, and USP2 in hypothalamus improve hyperglycemia, whereas USP19 in adipocytes, USP21 in myocytes, and USP2, 14, and 20 in hepatocytes promote hyperglycemia. In contrast, USP1, 5, 9X, 14, 15, 22, 36, and 48 modulate the progression of diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy, and/or retinopathy. USP4, 10, and 18 in hepatocytes ameliorates non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), while hepatic USP2, 11, 14, 19, and 20 exacerbate it. The roles of USP7 and 22 in hepatic disorders are controversial. USP9X, 14, 17, and 20 in vascular cells are postulated to be determinants of atherosclerosis. Moreover, mutations in the Usp8 and Usp48 loci in pituitary tumors cause Cushing syndrome. This review summarizes the current knowledge about the modulatory roles of USPs in energy metabolic disorders.

Matrix Vesicle-Mediated Mineralization and Osteocytic Regulation of Bone Mineralization. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23179941. [PMID: 36077336 PMCID: PMC9456179 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23179941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 08/23/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Bone mineralization entails two mineralization phases: primary and secondary mineralization. Primary mineralization is achieved when matrix vesicles are secreted by osteoblasts, and thereafter, bone mineral density gradually increases during secondary mineralization. Nearby extracellular phosphate ions (PO43−) flow into the vesicles via membrane transporters and enzymes located on the vesicles’ membranes, while calcium ions (Ca2+), abundant in the tissue fluid, are also transported into the vesicles. The accumulation of Ca2+ and PO43− in the matrix vesicles induces crystal nucleation and growth. The calcium phosphate crystals grow radially within the vesicle, penetrate the vesicle’s membrane, and continue to grow outside the vesicle, ultimately forming mineralized nodules. The mineralized nodules then attach to collagen fibrils, mineralizing them from the contact sites (i.e., collagen mineralization). Afterward, the bone mineral density gradually increases during the secondary mineralization process. The mechanisms of this phenomenon remain unclear, but osteocytes may play a key role; it is assumed that osteocytes enable the transport of Ca2+ and PO43− through the canaliculi of the osteocyte network, as well as regulate the mineralization of the surrounding bone matrix via the Phex/SIBLINGs axis. Thus, bone mineralization is biologically regulated by osteoblasts and osteocytes.

Abstract
Tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) is one of four isozymes, which include germ cell, placental and intestinal alkaline phosphatases. The TNAP isozyme has 3 isoforms (liver, bone and kidney) which differ by tissue expression and glycosylation pattern. Despite a long history of investigation, the exact function of TNAP in many tissues is largely unknown. Only the bone isoform has been well characterised during mineralization where the enzyme hydrolyses pyrophosphate to inorganic phosphate, which combines with calcium to form hydroxyapatite crystals deposited as new bone. The inorganic phosphate also increases gene expression of proteins that support tissue mineralization. Recent studies have shown that TNAP is expressed in preadipocytes from several species, and that inhibition of TNAP activity causes attenuation of intracellular lipid accumulation in these and other lipid-storing cells. The mechanism by which TNAP stimulates lipid accumulation is not known; however, proteins that are important for controlling phosphate levels in bone are also expressed in adipocytes. This review examines the evidence that inorganic phosphate generated by TNAP promotes transcription that enhances the expression of the regulators of lipid storage and consequently, that TNAP has a major function of lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a n arising public health concern, and diabetic foot is one of the most common complications of diabetes. Current management for diabetic foot cannot reach optimal remission. In this study, we aim to explore the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of diabetic foot and provide novel strategies for the treatment of diabetic foot. A total of 10 normal skin tissues and 20 diabetic foot ulcer specimens are collected. Cell proliferation is determined by CCK-8 assay. Cell cycle is determined by flow cytometry, and cell senescence is evaluated by β-galactosidase staining. Co-immunoprecipitation assay is used to explore the interaction between USP7 and p53. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are used to establish diabetic cell model, and streptozotocin (STZ) is used to establish diabetic rat model. Our results showed that USP7 expression is increased in diabetic foot ulcer and in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) after treatment with AGEs. Inhibition of USP7 can reduce cell cycle arrest and cell senescence in HUVECs. Moreover, USP7 can interact with p53 and promote its expression through mediating its deubiquitination. Knockdown of p53 can reverse USP7-mediated cell cycle arrest and cell senescence in HUVECs. In diabetic rats, HBX 41108, the specific inhibitor of USP7, can significantly accelerate wound healing. Our study reveals that the inhibition of USP7 can suppress AGEs-induced cell cycle arrest and cell senescence of HUVECs through promoting p53 ubiquitination. USP7 is a potential target for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.

Abstract
Soft tissue calcification is a pathological phenomenon that often occurs in end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is caused by diabetic nephropathy, among other factors. Hyperphosphatemia present during course of CKD contributes to impairments in kidney function, particularly damages in the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). Essential elements of the GFB include glomerular epithelial cells, called podocytes. In the present study, we found that human immortalized podocytes express messenger RNA and protein of phosphate transporters, including NaPi 2c (SLC34A3), Pit 1 (SLC20A1), and Pit 2 (SLC20A2), which are sodium-dependent and mediate intracellular phosphate (Pi) transport, and XPR1, which is responsible for extracellular Pi transport. We found that cells that were grown in a medium with a high glucose (HG) concentration (30 mM) expressed less Pit 1 and Pit 2 protein than podocytes that were cultured in a standard glucose medium (11 mM). We found that exposure of the analyzed transporters in the cell membrane of the podocyte is altered by HG conditions. We also found that the activity of tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase increased in HG, causing a rise in Pi generation. Additionally, HG led to a reduction of the amount of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 in the cell membrane of podocytes. The extracellular concentration of pyrophosphate also decreased under HG conditions. These data suggest that a hyperglycemic environment enhances the production of Pi in podocytes and its retention in the extracellular space, which may induce glomerular calcification.

Abstract
Elevations in plasma phosphate concentrations (hyperphosphatemia) occur in chronic kidney disease (CKD), in certain genetic disorders, and following the intake of a phosphate-rich diet. Whether hyperphosphatemia and/or associated changes in metabolic regulators, including elevations of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) directly contribute to specific complications of CKD is uncertain. Here, we report that similar to patients with CKD, mice with adenine-induced CKD develop inflammation, anemia, and skeletal muscle wasting. These complications are also observed in mice fed high phosphate diet even without CKD. Ablation of pathologic FGF23-FGFR4 signaling did not protect mice on an increased phosphate diet or mice with adenine-induced CKD from these sequelae. However, low phosphate diet ameliorated anemia and skeletal muscle wasting in a genetic mouse model of CKD. Our mechanistic in vitro studies indicate that phosphate elevations induce inflammatory signaling and increase hepcidin expression in hepatocytes, a potential causative link between hyperphosphatemia, anemia, and skeletal muscle dysfunction. Our study suggests that high phosphate intake, as caused by the consumption of processed food, may have harmful effects irrespective of pre-existing kidney injury, supporting not only the clinical utility of treating hyperphosphatemia in CKD patients but also arguing for limiting phosphate intake in healthy individuals.

Suppressing long noncoding RNA OGRU ameliorates diabetic retinopathy by inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammation via miR-320/USP14 axis. Free Radic Biol Med 2021; 169:361-381. [PMID: 33762162 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2021.03.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Revised: 03/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators in various diseases including diabetic retinopathy (DR). In this study, DR patients exhibited significantly increased expression of serum LncRNA-OGRU compared with normal individuals. Streptozotocin (STZ)-challenged rats with DR also had higher OGRU expression in retinas than that of the control group, which was confirmed in Müller cells upon high glucose (HG) stimulation. OGRU knockdown remarkably decreased vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression in HG-incubated Müller cells. HG-induced inflammatory response and oxidative stress in vitro were markedly mitigated by OGRU knockdown through restraining IκBɑ/nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB) and improving nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathways, respectively. Further studies indicated that OGRU suppression greatly restored miR-320 expression, and a negative correlation between them was detected in DR patients. We also found that miR-320 over-expression considerably restrained TGF-β1 signaling, and hindered inflammation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in HG-stimulated Müller cells. Additionally, OGRU knockdown or miR-320 over-expression could dramatically down-regulate ubiquitin-specific peptidase 14 (USP14) expression levels in HG-incubated Müller cells, and miR-320 could directly target USP14. Notably, OGRU/miR-320 axis-mediated TGF-β1 signaling, inflammation and ROS were largely dependent on USP14. Intriguingly, our results showed that USP14 directly interacted with transforming growth factor-beta type 1 receptor (TβR1), and impeded TβR1 ubiquitination and degradation. Furthermore, USP14 could also facilitate IκBɑ deubiquitination and degradation, exacerbating IκBɑ phosphorylation and NF-κB activation. Finally, our in vivo studies confirmed that OGRU knockdown considerably ameliorated DR progression in STZ-challenged rats through mediating the mechanisms observed in vitro. Collectively, these findings implicated that LncRNA-OGRU mediated DR progression through competing for miR-320 to regulate USP14 expression, and thus LncRNA-OGRU/miR-320/USP14 axis may be considered as a therapeutic target for DR treatment.

[PMID: 33738792 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.30368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2020] [Revised: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
The sodium-dependent phosphate transporters Pit 1 and Pit 2 belong to the solute carrier 20 (SLC20) family of membrane proteins. They are ubiquitously distributed in the human body. Their crucial function is the intracellular transport of inorganic phosphate (Pi) in the form of H2 PO4 - . They are one of the main elements in maintaining physiological phosphate homeostasis. Recent data have emerged that indicate novel roles of Pit 1 and Pit 2 proteins besides the well-known function of Pi transporters. These membrane proteins are believed to be precise phosphate sensors that mediate Pi-dependent intracellular signaling. They are also involved in insulin signaling and influence cellular insulin sensitivity. In diseases that are associated with hyperphosphatemia, such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD), disturbances in the function of Pit 1 and Pit 2 are observed. Phosphate transporters from the SLC20 family participate in the calcification of soft tissues, mainly blood vessels, during the course of CKD. The glomerulus and podocytes therein can also be a target of pathological calcification that damages these structures. A few studies have demonstrated the development of Pi-dependent podocyte injury that is mediated by Pit 1 and Pit 2. This paper discusses the role of Pit 1 and Pit 2 proteins in podocyte function, mainly in the context of the development of pathological calcification that disrupts permeability of the renal filtration barrier. We also describe the mechanisms that may contribute to podocyte damage by Pit 1 and Pit 2.

Abstract
Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) is associated with meat quality and insulin resistance in animals. Research on genetic mechanism of IMF decomposition has positive meaning to pork quality and diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes treatment. In this study, an IMF trait segregation population was used to perform RNA sequencing and to analyze the joint or independent effects of genes and long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) on IMF. Results A total of 26 genes including six lincRNA genes show significantly different expression between high- and low-IMF pigs. Interesting, one lincRNA gene, named IMF related lincRNA (IRLnc) not only has a 292-bp conserved region in 100 vertebrates but also has conserved up and down stream genes (< 10 kb) in pig and humans. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) validation study indicated that nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3 (NR4A3) which located at the downstream of IRLnc has similar expression pattern with IRLnc. RNAi-mediated loss of function screens identified that IRLnc silencing could inhibit both of the RNA and protein expression of NR4A3. And the in-situ hybridization co-expression experiment indicates that IRLnc may directly binding to NR4A3. As the NR4A3 could regulate the catecholamine catabolism, which could affect insulin sensitivity, we inferred that IRLnc influence IMF decomposition by regulating the expression of NR4A3. Conclusions In conclusion, a novel functional noncoding variation named IRLnc has been found contribute to IMF by regulating the expression of NR4A3. These findings suggest novel mechanistic approach for treatment of insulin resistance in human beings and meat quality improvement in animal.

USP7 mediates pathological hepatic de novo lipogenesis through promoting stabilization and transcription of ZNF638. Cell Death Dis 2020; 11:843.

Abstract
Aberrant de novo lipogenesis (DNL) results in excessive hepatic lipid accumulation and liver steatosis, the causative factors of many liver diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the underlying mechanism of DNL dysregulation remains largely unknown. Ubiquitination of proteins in hepatocytes has been shown to be widely involved in lipid metabolism of liver. Here, we revealed that Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 7 (USP7), a deubiquitinase (DUB), played key roles in DNL through regulation of zinc finger protein 638 (ZNF638) in hepatocytes. USP7 has been shown not only to interact with and deubiquitylate ZNF638, but also to facilitate the transcription of ZNF638 via the stabilization of cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB). USP7/ZNF638 axis selectively increased the cleavage of sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP1C) through AKT/mTORC1/S6K signaling, and formed USP7/ZNF638/SREBP1C nuclear complex to regulate lipogenesis-associated enzymes, including acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACACA), fatty acid synthase (FASN), and Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD). In the mice liver steatosis model induced by fructose, USP7 or ZNF638 abrogation significantly ameliorated disease progression. Furthermore, USP7/ZNF638 axis participated in the progression of lipogenesis-associated HCC. Our results have uncovered a novel mechanism of hepatic DNL, which might be beneficial to the development of new therapeutic targets for hepatic lipogenesis-associated diseases.

Abstract
A complex interaction of anabolic and catabolic metabolism underpins the ability of leukocytes to mount an immune response. Their capacity to respond to changing environments by metabolic reprogramming is crucial to effector function. However, current methods lack the ability to interrogate this network of metabolic pathways at single-cell level within a heterogeneous population. We present Met-Flow, a flow cytometry-based method capturing the metabolic state of immune cells by targeting key proteins and rate-limiting enzymes across multiple pathways. We demonstrate the ability to simultaneously measure divergent metabolic profiles and dynamic remodeling in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Using Met-Flow, we discovered that glucose restriction and metabolic remodeling drive the expansion of an inflammatory central memory T cell subset. This method captures the complex metabolic state of any cell as it relates to phenotype and function, leading to a greater understanding of the role of metabolic heterogeneity in immune responses.

Abstract
Low blood phosphate (Pi) reduces muscle function in hypophosphatemic disorders. Which Pi transporters are required and whether hormonal changes due to hypophosphatemia contribute to muscle function is unknown. To address these questions we generated a series of conditional knockout mice lacking one or both house-keeping Pi transporters Pit1 and Pit2 in skeletal muscle (sm), using the postnatally expressed human skeletal actin-cre. Simultaneous conditional deletion of both transporters caused skeletal muscle atrophy, resulting in death by postnatal day P13. smPit1-/-, smPit2-/- and three allele mutants are fertile and have normal body weights, suggesting a high degree of redundance for the two transporters in skeletal muscle. However, these mice show a gene-dose dependent reduction in running activity also seen in another hypophosphatemic model (Hyp mice). In contrast to Hyp mice, grip strength is preserved. Further evaluation of the mechanism shows reduced ERK1/2 activation and stimulation of AMP kinase in skeletal muscle from smPit1-/-; smPit2-/- mice consistent with energy-stress. Similarly, C2C12 myoblasts show a reduced oxygen consumption rate mediated by Pi transport-dependent and ERK1/2-dependent metabolic Pi sensing pathways. In conclusion, we here show that Pit1 and Pit2 are essential for normal myofiber function and survival, insights which may improve management of hypophosphatemic myopathy.

Abstract
To further investigate the role of the phosphate (Pi) transporter PIT1 in Pi homeostasis and tissue mineralization, we developed a transgenic mouse expressing the C-terminal influenza hemagglutinin (HA) epitope-tagged human PIT1 transporter under control of the cytomegalovirus/chicken beta actin/rabbit beta-globin gene (CAG) promotor and a loxP-stop-loxP (LSL) cassette permitting conditional activation of transgene expression (LSL-HA-hPITtg/+). For an initial characterization of this conditional mouse model, germline excision of the LSL cassette was performed to induce expression of the transgene in all mouse tissues (HA-hPIT1tg/+). Recombination was confirmed using genomic DNA obtained from blood samples of these mice. Furthermore, expression of HA-hPIT1 was found to be at least 10-fold above endogenous mouse Pit1 in total RNA isolated from multiple tissues and from cultured primary calvaria osteoblasts (PCOB) estimated by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Robust expression of the HA-hPIT1 protein was also observed upon immunoblot analysis in most tissues and permits HA-mediated immunoprecipitation of the transporter. Characterization of the phenotype of HA-hPIT1tg/+ mice at 80 days of age when fed a standard chow (0.7% Pi and 1% calcium) showed elevated plasma Pi, but normal plasma iPTH, iFGF23, serum calcium, BUN, 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D levels and urine Pi, calcium and protein excretion when compared to WT littermates. Likewise, no change in bone mineral density was observed upon uCT analysis of the distal femur obtained from these mice. In conclusion, heterozygous overexpression of HA-hPIT1 is compatible with life and causes hyperphosphatemia while bone and mineral metabolism of these mice are otherwise normal.

Abstract
PiT1/SLC20A1 is an inorganic phosphate transporter with additional functions including the regulation of TNFα-induced apoptosis, erythropoiesis, cell proliferation and insulin signaling. Recent data suggest a relationship between PiT1 and NF-κB-dependent inflammation: (i) Pit1 mRNA is up-regulated in the context of NF-κB pathway activation; (ii) NF-κB target gene transcription is decreased in PiT1-deficient conditions. This led us to investigate the role of PiT1 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation. MCP-1 and IL-6 concentrations were impaired in PiT1-deficient bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) upon LPS stimulation. Lower MCP-1 and IL-6 serum levels were observed in Mx1-Cre; Pit1lox/lox mice dosed intraperitoneally with LPS. Lower PiT1 expression correlated with decreased in vitro wound healing and lower reactive oxygen species levels. Reduced IκB degradation and lower p65 nuclear translocation were observed in PiT1-deficient cells stimulated with LPS. Conversely, PiT1 expression was induced in vitro upon LPS stimulation. Addition of an NF-κB inhibitor abolished LPS-induced PiT1 expression. Furthermore, we showed that p65 expression activated Pit1 promoter activity. Finally, ChIP assays demonstrated that p65 directly binds to the mPit1 promoter in response to LPS. These data demonstrate a completely novel function of PiT1 in the response to LPS and provide mechanistic insights into the regulation of PiT1 expression by NF-κB.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) deubiquitinase activity is controlled by a number of regulatory factors, including stimulation by intramolecular accessory domains. Alone, the USP7 catalytic domain (USP7cd) shows limited activity and apo USP7cd crystal structures reveal a disrupted catalytic triad. By contrast, ubiquitin-conjugated USP7cd structures demonstrate the canonical cysteine protease active-site geometry; however, the structural features of the USP7cd that stabilize the inactive conformation and the mechanism of transition between inactive and active states remain unclear. Here we use comparative structural analyses, molecular dynamics simulations, and in silico sequence re-engineering via directed sampling by RosettaDesign to identify key molecular determinants of USP7cd activation and successfully engineer USP7cd for improved activity. Full kinetic analysis and multiple X-ray crystal structures of our designs indicate that electrostatic interactions in the distal "switching loop" region and local packing in the hydrophobic core mediate subtle but significant conformational changes that modulate USP7cd activation.

Abstract
Extracellular phosphate (Pi) can act as a signaling molecule that directly alters gene expression and cellular physiology. The ability of cells or organisms to detect changes in extracellular Pi levels implies the existence of a Pi-sensing mechanism that signals to the body or individual cell. However, unlike in prokaryotes, yeasts, and plants, the molecular players involved in Pi sensing in mammals remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the involvement of the high-affinity, sodium-dependent Pi transporters PiT1 and PiT2 in mediating Pi signaling in skeletal cells. We found that deletion of PiT1 or PiT2 blunted the Pi-dependent ERK1/2-mediated phosphorylation and subsequent gene up-regulation of the mineralization inhibitors matrix Gla protein and osteopontin. This result suggested that both PiTs are necessary for Pi signaling. Moreover, the ERK1/2 phosphorylation could be rescued by overexpressing Pi transport-deficient PiT mutants. Using cross-linking and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer approaches, we found that PiT1 and PiT2 form high-abundance homodimers and Pi-regulated low-abundance heterodimers. Interestingly, in the absence of sodium-dependent Pi transport activity, the PiT1-PiT2 heterodimerization was still regulated by extracellular Pi levels. Of note, when two putative Pi-binding residues, Ser-128 (in PiT1) and Ser-113 (in PiT2), were substituted with alanine, the PiT1-PiT2 heterodimerization was no longer regulated by extracellular Pi These observations suggested that Pi binding rather than Pi uptake may be the key factor in mediating Pi signaling through the PiT proteins. Taken together, these results demonstrate that Pi-regulated PiT1-PiT2 heterodimerization mediates Pi sensing independently of Pi uptake.
