Abstract
De novo mutations in the WDR45 gene have been found in patients affected by Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation type 5 (NBIA5 or BPAN), with Non-Transferrin Bound Iron (NTBI) accumulation in the basal ganglia and WDR45-dependent impairment of autophagy. Here we show the downregulation of TFEB and cell cycle impairment in BPAN primary fibroblasts. Noteworthy, TFEB overexpression rescued this impairment, depicting a novel WDR45-dependent cell cycle phenotype.

[PMID: 38397164 PMCID: PMC10888448 DOI: 10.3390/genes15020174] [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: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
In recent years, rising temperatures have caused heat stress (HS), which has had a significant impact on livestock production and growth, presenting considerable challenges to the agricultural industry. Research has shown that miR-425-5p regulates cellular proliferation in organisms. However, the specific role of miR-425-5p in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) remains to be determined. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of miR-425-5p in alleviating the HS-induced proliferation stagnation in BMECs. The results showed that the expression of miR-425-5p significantly decreased when BMEC were exposed to HS. However, the overexpression of miR-425-5p effectively alleviated the inhibitory effect of HS on BMEC proliferation. Furthermore, RNA sequencing analysis revealed 753 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), comprising 361 upregulated and 392 downregulated genes. Some of these genes were associated with proliferation and thermogenesis through enrichment analyses. Further experimentation revealed that TOB2, which acts as a target gene of miR-425-5p, is involved in the regulatory mechanism of BMEC proliferation. In summary, this study suggests that miR-425-5p can promote the proliferation of BMECs by regulating TOB2. The miR-425-5p/TOB2 axis may represent a potential pathway through which miR-425-5p ameliorates the proliferation stagnation of BMECs induced by HS.

Abstract
Background Nowadays, more evidences indicated that autophagy-dependent ferroptosis regulatory molecules (ADFRMs) may be closely related to various tumors. In current study, we intended to establish a prognostic ADFRMs signature and investigated its potential roles in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA). Methods Two distinct clusters were determined by consensus clustering with expression of 119 identified ADFRMs in BLCA. The tumor microenvironment was investigated through "CIBERSORT" algorithm, and enrichment analyses were utilized to seek molecular characteristics of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between clusters. Moreover, a 2-ADFRMs prognostic signature including TRIB3 and WIPI1 was identified in TCGA cohort and further evaluated in the GSE13507 cohort. The qRT-PCR was conducted to examine the expression of prognostic genes. Further, the risk score was gained through calculating the level of TRIB3 and WIPI1 expression through the coefficient. The correlations between risk score with clinicopathologica features, tumor microenvironment, and drug sensitivity were explored. Results Patients in TCGA-BLCA were grouped into two clusters with different expression patterns of ADFRMs. And the overall survival, tumor microenvironment and biological functions were significant different between two clusters. Moreover, a 2-ADFRMs model was constructed, and patients were separated into a low-risk and high-risk group. Survival analysis indicated patients with low risk promised a good prognosis, suggesting the risk score determined with ADFRMs signature exhibited an acceptable capacity for survival prediction in BLCA. Correlation analysis demonstrated risk score had close ties with age, stage, and tumor microenvironment. In vivo, the expression of prognostic genes was identified to be up-regulated in BLCA cell line T24. Conclusion The constructed 2-ADFRMs signature was a promising model to predict prognosis and correlated with tumor microenvironment, which had latent clinical value in the intervention for BLCA.

Autophagy-Related Gene WD Repeat Domain 45B Promotes Tumor Proliferation and Migration of Hepatocellular Carcinoma through the Akt/mTOR Signaling Pathway. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13050906. [PMID: 36900050 PMCID: PMC10001097 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13050906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive malignant tumor. It has been found that autophagy plays a role both as a tumor promoter and inhibitor in HCC carcinogenesis. However, the mechanism behind is still unveiled. This study aims to explore the functions and mechanism of the key autophagy-related proteins, to shed light on novel clinical diagnoses and treatment targets of HCC. Bioinformation analyses were performed by using data from public databases including TCGA, ICGC, and UCSC Xena. The upregulated autophagy-related gene WDR45B was identified and validated in human liver cell line LO2, human HCC cell line HepG2 and Huh-7. Immunohistochemical assay (IHC) was also performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues of 56 HCC patients from our pathology archives. By using qRT-PCR and Western blots we found that high expression of WDR45B influenced the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Autophagy marker LC3- II/LC3-I was downregulated, and p62/SQSTM1 was upregulated after knockdown of WDR45B. The effects of WDR45B knockdown on autophagy and Akt/mTOR signaling pathways can be reversed by the autophagy inducer rapamycin. Moreover, proliferation and migration of HCC can be inhibited after the knockdown of WDR45B through the CCK8 assay, wound-healing assay and Transwell cell migration and invasion assay. Therefore, WDR45B may become a novel biomarker for HCC prognosis assessment and potential target for molecular therapy.

Abstract
TRAF3IP3 was reportedly associated with poor prognosis in patients with melanoma; however, its role in glioma is unknown. We aimed to demonstrate the relationship between TRAF3IP3 and glioma and to investigate the potential role of TRAF3IP3 in glioma. Datasets were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. We used the Wilcoxon rank-sum test to compared TRAF3IP3 expression in normal and glioma tissues. Kaplan–Meier analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between TRAF3IP3 and patient survival rate. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to annotate the biological function of TRAF3IP3 in glioma. We also examined the effects of TRAF3IP3 on glioma progression, including characteristics such as cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, using cell proliferation, wound healing, and Transwell assays, respectively, paired with in vitro glioma cell lines and in vivo mouse xenograft models to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects. High TRAF3IP3 expression in glioma tissues was associated with patients with neoplasm cancer tissue source site, and poorer overall survival (OS) (p = 0.03), which was validated using TCGA. GSEA revealed the enrichment of neuroactive ligand–receptor interactions, the olfactory pathway, proteasome pathway, cytokine–cytokine receptor interactions, and calcium signaling pathway in the TRAF3IP3 high-expression phenotype. TRAF3IP3 knockdown markedly suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of U251 glioma cells, whereas TRAF3IP3 overexpression notably promoted the progression of U118 cell tumors. Mechanistic studies revealed that TRAF3IP3 upregulated p-ERK expression in glioma cells. Notably, the ERK signaling pathway inhibitor U0126 drastically attenuated the effects of TRAF3IP3 on p-ERK and markedly blocked its tumor-promoting activity. TRAF3IP3 overexpression also promoted in vivo tumor growth in a nude mouse xenograft model. Collectively, TRAF3IP3 stimulates glioma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, at least partly by activating the ERK signaling pathway. We hypothesize that TRAF3IP3 may participate in glioma development via the ERK signaling pathway and that elevated TRAF3IP3 expression may serve as a potential biomarker for glioma prognosis.

Abstract
WIPI (WD-repeat protein Interacting with PhosphoInositides) are important effectors in autophagy. These proteins bind phosphoinositides and recruit autophagy proteins. In mammals, there are four WIPI proteins: WIPI1, WIPI2, WIPI3 (WDR45B), and WIPI4 (WDR45). These proteins consist of a seven-bladed β-propeller structure. Recently, pathogenic variants in genes encoding these proteins have been recognized to cause human diseases with a predominant neurological phenotype. Defects in WIPI2 cause a disease characterized mainly by intellectual disability and variable other features while pathogenic variants in WDR45B and WDR45 have been recently reported to cause El-Hattab-Alkuraya syndrome and beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN), respectively. Whereas, there is no disease linked to WIPI1 yet, one study linked it neural tube defects (NTD). In this review, the role of WIPI proteins in autophagy is discussed first, then syndromes related to these proteins are summarized.

Abstract
We aimed to assess the effects of artesunate (ART) on the proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of the non-small cell lung cancer cells A549 and H1299. The effects of ART and carboplatin (CBP) alone or in combination on the viability of A549 and H1299 cells were evaluated by MTT assay. The effects of 30 μg/ml ART on cell invasion, migration and apoptosis were evaluated by Transwell assay, scratch assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The protein expressions of human antigen R (HuR) and MMP-9 after treatment with 30 μg/ml ART for 48 h were detected by Western blotting. After 48 h of treatment, 9 μg/ml ART in combination with 7 μg/ml CBP exerted a mild synergistic effect on cell viability. The migration rates of cells treated with 30 μg/ml ART and number of invasive cells were significantly lower, and the apoptosis rates were higher than those of the DMSO-treated group. HuR and MMP-9 expressions in cells treated with 30 μg/ml ART for 48 h were significantly lower than those of the DMSO-treated group. ART suppresses the proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 and H1299 cells and induces their apoptosis, probably being associated with decreased expressions of HuR and MMP-9 proteins.

Abstract
Background: Osteosarcoma is a common malignancy of bone with inferior survival outcome. Autophagy can exert multifactorial influence on tumorigenesis and tumor progression. However, the specific function of genes related to autophagy in the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients remains unclear. Herein, we aimed to explore the association of genes related to autophagy with the survival outcome of osteosarcoma patients. Methods: The autophagy-associated genes that were related to the prognosis of osteosarcoma were optimized by LASSO Cox regression analysis. The survival of osteosarcoma patients was forecasted by multivariate Cox regression analysis. The immune infiltration status of 22 immune cell types in osteosarcoma patients with high and low risk scores was compared by using the CIBERSORT tool. Results: The risk score model constructed according to 14 autophagy-related genes (ATG4A, BAK1, BNIP3, CALCOCO2, CCL2, DAPK1, EGFR, FAS, GRID2, ITGA3, MYC, RAB33B, USP10, and WIPI1) could effectively predict the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma. A nomogram model was established based on risk score and metastasis. Conclusion: Autophagy-related genes were identified as pivotal prognostic signatures, which could guide the clinical decision making in the treatment of osteosarcoma.
