[PMID: 39053102 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.150436] [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: 07/16/2024] [Revised: 07/17/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of liver damage during hepatic resection, transplantation, and other surgical procedures, often leading to graft failure and liver dysfunction. Recent studies have identified ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, as a key contributor to IRI. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of Ticlopidine, a thienopyridine compound and platelet aggregation inhibitor, on hepatic IRI. Using a C57BL/6J mouse model, we demonstrated that prophylactic Ticlopidine treatment significantly reduced necrotic and fibrotic areas in liver tissues, as well as serum levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Prussian Blue staining revealed that Ticlopidine pretreatment decreased iron accumulation in hepatic tissues, whereas markers of lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal) and ferroptosis (PTGS2) were significantly downregulated. Additionally, Ticlopidine ameliorated inflammatory infiltration as indicated by reduced Gr-1 staining. In vitro, Ticlopidine dose-dependently inhibited ferroptosis induced by various inducers in liver cancer cell lines HUH7 and fibrosarcoma cells HT1080. The protective effects involved partial rescue of lipid peroxidation, significant reduction of ferrous iron levels, and strong protection against mitochondrial damage. These findings suggested that Ticlopidine acts as a broad-spectrum ferroptosis inhibitor, offering a promising therapeutic approach for protecting the liver against IRI.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are important elements for the pathophysiology of preeclampsia (PE), a multisystemic hypertensive syndrome of pregnancy, characterized by endothelial dysfunction and responsible for a large part of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Researchers have dedicated their efforts to unraveling the intricate ways in which certain molecules influence both energy metabolism and oxidative stress. Exploring established methodologies from existing literature, shows that these investigations predominantly focus on the placenta, identified as a pivotal source that drives the changes observed in the disease. In this review, we discuss the role of oxidative stress in pathophysiology of PE, as well as metabolic/endothelial dysfunction. We further discuss the use of seahorse analyzers to study real-time bioenergetics of endothelial cells. Although the benefits are clear, few studies have presented results using this method to assess mitochondrial metabolism in these cells. We performed a search on MEDLINE/PubMed using the terms "Seahorse assay and endothelial dysfunction in HUVEC" as well as "Seahorse assay and preeclampsia". From our research, we selected 16 original peer-review papers for discussion. Notably, the first search retrieved studies involving Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) but none investigating bioenergetics in PE while the second search retrieved studies exploring the technique in PE but none of the studies used HUVECs. Additional studies are required to investigate real-time mitochondrial bioenergetics in PE. Clearly, there is a need for more complete studies to examine the nuances of mitochondrial bioenergetics, focusing on the contributions of HUVECs in the context of PE.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to work through the key genes involved in the process of pyroptosis in Alzheimer's disease (AD) to identify potential biomarkers using bioinformatics technology and further explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. The transcriptome data of brain tissue in AD patients were screened from the GEO database, and pyroptosis-related genes were analyzed. The functions of differential genes were analyzed by enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction. The diagnostic model was established using LASSO and logistic regression analysis, and the correlation of clinical data was analyzed. Based on single-cell analysis of brain tissues of patients with AD, immunofluorescence and western blotting were used to explore the key cells affected by the hub gene. After GSEA, qRT-PCR, western blotting, LDH, ROS, and JC-1 were used to investigate the potential mechanism of the hub gene on pyroptosis. A total of 15 pyroptosis differentially expressed genes were identified. A prediction model consisting of six genes was established by LASSO and logistic regression analysis, and the area under the curve was up to 0.81. As a hub gene, CHMP4B was negatively correlated with the severity of AD. CHMP4B expression was decreased in the hippocampal tissue of patients with AD and mice. Single-cell analysis showed that CHMP4B was downregulated in AD microglia. Overexpression of CHMP4B reduced the release of LDH and ROS and restored mitochondrial membrane potential, thereby alleviating the inflammatory response during microglial pyroptosis. In summary, CHMP4B as a hub gene provides a new strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of AD.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. CVDs are promoted by the accumulation of lipids and immune cells in the endothelial space resulting in endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial cells are important components of the vascular endothelium, that regulate the vascular flow. The imbalance in the production of vasoactive substances results in the loss of vascular homeostasis, leading the endothelial dysfunction. Thus, endothelial dysfunction plays an essential role in the development of atherosclerosis and can be triggered by different cardiovascular risk factors. On the other hand, the 17β-estradiol (E2) hormone has been related to the regulation of vascular tone through different mechanisms. Several compounds can elicit estrogenic actions similar to those of E2. For these reasons, they have been called endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs). This review aims to provide up-to-date information about how different EDCs affect endothelial function and their mechanistic roles in the context of CVDs.

Bisphenol S impairs mitochondrial function by targeting Myo19/oxidative phosphorylation pathway contributing to axonal and dendritic injury. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2024; 186:108643.

Abstract
Exposure to bisphenol S (BPS) is known to adversely affect neuronal development. As pivotal components of neuronal polarization, axons and dendrites are indispensable structures within neurons, crucial for the maintenance of nervous system function. Here, we investigated the impact of BPS exposure on axonal and dendritic development both in vivo and in vitro. Our results revealed that exposure to BPS during pregnancy and lactation led to a reduction in the complexity, density, and length of axons and dendrites in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of offspring. Employing RNA sequencing technology to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of axonal and dendritic damage induced by BPS, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis highlighted a significant alteration in the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway, essential for mitochondrial function. Subsequent experiments demonstrate BPS-induced impairment in mitochondrial function, including damaged morphology, decreased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, and increased reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde (MDA). These alterations coincided with the downregulated expression of OXPHOS pathway-related genes (ATP6V1B1, ATP5K, NDUFC1, NDUFC2, NDUFA3, COX6B1) and Myosin 19 (Myo19). Notably, Myo19 overexpression restored the BPS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction by alleviating the inhibition of OXPHOS pathway. Consequently, this amelioration was associated with a reduction in BPS-induced axonal and dendritic injury observed in cultured neurons of the PFC.

Abstract
Emerging literatures have concentrated on the association between cardiovascular diseases risk of typical endocrine disruptor bisphenols, which also put forward the further studies need respect to the potential mechanism. Herein, we investigated the endothelial dysfunction effects of bisphenols and brominated bisphenols involved in aortic pathological structure, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) protein phosphorylation, synthase activity and nitric oxide (NO) production in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and C57BL/6 mice. Bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S (BPS) increased NO production by 85.7% and 68.8% at 10-6 M level in vitro and 74.3%, 41.5% in vivo, respectively, while tetrabromobisphenol S (TBBPS) significantly inhibited NO by 55.7% at 10-6 M in vitro and 28.9% in vivo at dose of 20 mg/kg BW/d. Aortic transcriptome profiling revealed that the process of 'regulation of NO mediated signal transduction' was commonly induced. The mRNA and protein expression of phosphorylated eNOS at Ser1177 were promoted by BPA and BPS but decreased by TBBPA and TBBPS in HUVECs. Phosphorylation and enzymatic activity of eNOS were significantly increased by 43.4% and 13.8% with the treatment of BPA and BPS at 10-7 M, but decreased by 16.9% after exposure to TBBPS at 10-6 M in vitro. Moreover, only TBBPS was observed to increase aorta thickness significantly in mice and induce endothelial dysfunction. Our work suggests that bisphenols and brominated bisphenols may exert adverse outcome on vascular health differently in vitro and in vivo, and emphasizes areas of public health concern similar endocrine disruptors vulnerable on the vascular endothelial function.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) deficiency can affect the expression of microRNA (miRNA) and induce necroptosis, apoptosis, etc., resulting in damage to various tissues and organs. Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure can cause adverse consequences such as oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerosis. The toxic effects of combined treatment with Se-deficiency and BPA exposure may have a synergistic effect. We replicated the BPA exposure and Se-deficiency model in broiler to investigate whether the combined treatment of Se-deficiency and BPA exposure induced necroptosis and inflammation of chicken vascular tissue via the miR-26A-5p/ADAM17 axis. We found that Se deficiency and BPA exposure significantly inhibited the expression of miR-26a-5p and increased the expression of ADAM17, thereby increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Subsequently, we discovered that the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR1), which was highly expressed, activated the necroptosis pathway through receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL), and regulated the heat shock proteins-related genes expressions and inflammation-related genes expressions after exposure to BPA and selenium deficiency. In vitro, we found that miR-26a-5p knockdown and increased ADAM17 can induce necroptosis by activating the TNFR1 pathway. Similarly, both N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1), and miR-26a-5p mimic prevented necroptosis and inflammation caused by BPA exposure and Se deficiency. These results suggest that BPA exposure activates the miR-26a-5p/ADAM17 axis and exacerbates Se deficient-induced necroptosis and inflammation through the TNFR1 pathway and excess ROS. This study lays a data foundation for future ecological and health risk assessments of nutrient deficiencies and environmental toxic pollution.

Abstract
Degenerative diseases, encompassing a wide range of conditions affecting various organ systems, pose significant challenges to global healthcare systems. This comprehensive review explores the intricate interplay between the vascular system and degenerative diseases, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms and profound implications for disease progression and management. The pivotal role of the vascular system in maintaining tissue homeostasis is highlighted, as it serves as the conduit for oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells to vital organs and tissues. Due to the vital role of the vascular system in maintaining homeostasis, its dysfunction, characterized by impaired blood flow, endothelial dysfunction, and vascular inflammation, emerges as a common denominator of degenerative diseases across multiple systems. In the nervous system, we explored the influence of vascular factors on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, emphasizing the critical role of cerebral blood flow regulation and the blood-brain barrier. Within the kidney system, the intricate relationship between vascular health and chronic kidney disease is scrutinized, unraveling the mechanisms by which hypertension and other vascular factors contribute to renal dysfunction. Throughout this review, we emphasize the clinical significance of understanding vascular involvement in degenerative diseases and potential therapeutic interventions targeting vascular health, highlighting emerging treatments and prevention strategies. In conclusion, a profound appreciation of the role of the vascular system in degenerative diseases is essential for advancing our understanding of degenerative disease pathogenesis and developing innovative approaches for prevention and treatment. This review provides a comprehensive foundation for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers seeking to address the intricate relationship between vascular health and degenerative diseases in pursuit of improved patient outcomes and enhanced public health.

Abstract
As the use of bisphenol A (BPA) has been restricted in consumer products, bisphenol S (BPS) is one major alternative to BPA for various materials, leading to growing concerns about its health risks in human beings. However, little is known about the toxic effects of BPS on bone health. We employed human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) for the in vitro assessment of BPS on cell proliferation, differentiation, and self-renewal. Our study revealed that BPS at concentrations of 10-10-10-7 M increased cell viability but induced the morphological changes of hBMSCs. Moreover, BPS decreased ROS generation and increased Nrf2 expression. Furthermore, BPS not only activated ERα/β expression but also increased β-catenin expression and induced the replicative senescence of hBMSCs. Furthermore, we found that the upregulation of β-catenin induced by BPS was mediated, in part, by ER signaling. Overall, our results suggested BPS exposure caused the homeostatic imbalance of hBMSCs.
