Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is an emergency and severe disorder of the cardiovascular system. This paper assessed the expression of plasma HAND2-AS1 in patients with ACS, researched its diagnostic and prognostic significance, and studied its possible mechanism for participating in ACS. METHODS The concentration of HAND2-AS1 of 101 included patients with ACS was certified by qRT-PCR and its possible diagnostic function was revealed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. All patients were followed up for 6 months after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) therapy and Kaplan-Meier (K-M) curve and COX regression analysis was performed to estimate the short-term prognostic value of HAND2-AS1 in ACS. The interrelationship between HAND2-AS1 and Gensini score and endothelial injury was identified via Pearson correlation. The function of HAND2-AS1 on the viability, migration, and apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was estimated by the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), Transwell chamber, and flow cytometry. RESULTS In ACS patients, the expression of serum HAND2-AS1 was prominently decreased and closely correlated with the Gensini score. The decreased HAND2-AS1 expression was of diagnostic significance. Declined plasma HAND2-AS1 was observed in patients with the major adverse cardio-cerebrovascular event (MACCE) and was an independent risk for the poor prognosis of ACS patients. In the cell model, upregulation of HAND2-AS1 improved cell viability and migration and inhibited cell apoptosis. CONCLUSION HAND2-AS1 was an independent biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of ACS. HAND2-AS1 might be involved in ACS development by regulating endothelial damage.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRT1-SIRT7), as a family of NAD+-dependent protein modifying enzymes, have various catalytic functions, such as deacetylases, dealkalylases, and deribonucleases. The Sirtuins family is directly or indirectly involved in pathophysiological processes such as glucolipid metabolism, oxidative stress, DNA repair and inflammatory response through various pathways and assumes an important role in several cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, hypertension and heart failure. A growing number of studies supports that metabolic and bioenergetic reprogramming directs the sequential process of inflammation. Failure of homeostatic restoration leads to many inflammatory diseases, and that macrophages are the central cells involving the inflammatory response and are the main source of inflammatory cytokines. Regulation of cellular metabolism has emerged as a fundamental process controlling macrophage function, but its exact signaling mechanisms remain to be revealed. Understanding the precise molecular basis of metabolic control of macrophage inflammatory processes may provide new approaches for targeting immune metabolism and inflammation. Here, we provide an update of studies in cardiovascular disease on the function and role of sirtuins in macrophage inflammation and metabolism, as well as drug candidates that may interfere with sirtuins, pointing to future prospects in this field.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16546. [PMID: 38003736 PMCID: PMC10672054 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242216546] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
We previously developed several successful decellularization strategies that yielded porcine cardiac extracellular matrices (pcECMs) exhibiting tissue-specific bioactivity and bioinductive capacity when cultured with various pluripotent and multipotent stem cells. Here, we study the tissue-specific effects of the pcECM on seeded human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) phenotypes using reverse transcribed quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) arrays for cardiovascular related gene expression. We further corroborated interesting findings at the protein level (flow cytometry and immunological stains) as well as bioinformatically using several mRNA sequencing and protein databases of normal and pathologic adult and embryonic (organogenesis stage) tissue expression. We discovered that upon the seeding of hMSCs on the pcECM, they displayed a partial mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) toward endothelial phenotypes (CD31+) and morphologies, which were preceded by an early spike (~Day 3 onward after seeding) in HAND2 expression at both the mRNA and protein levels compared to that in plate controls. The CRISPR-Cas9 knockout (KO) of HAND2 and its associated antisense long non-coding RNA (HAND2-AS1) regulatory region resulted in proliferation arrest, hypertrophy, and senescent-like morphology. Bioinformatic analyses revealed that HAND2 and HAND2-AS1 are highly correlated in expression and are expressed in many different tissue types albeit at distinct yet tightly regulated expression levels. Deviation (downregulation or upregulation) from these basal tissue expression levels is associated with a long list of pathologies. We thus suggest that HAND2 expression levels may possibly fine-tune hMSCs' plasticity through affecting senescence and mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition states, through yet unknown mechanisms. Targeting this pathway may open up a promising new therapeutic approach for a wide range of diseases, including cancer, degenerative disorders, and aging. Nevertheless, further investigation is required to validate these findings and better understand the molecular players involved, potential inducers and inhibitors of this pathway, and eventually potential therapeutic applications.

In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim 2023; 59:624-635.

Abstract
PF4 is a pro-atherosclerotic molecule. Endothelial CD40, upon binding to its ligand CD40L, induces endothelial cell (EC) activation, which is a vital pathophysiological process in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. However, the relationship between PF4 and endothelial CD40 remains elusive. This study aims to investigate whether and how PF4 affects endothelial CD40 expression using primary HAECs. PF4 treatment down-regulated sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression but upregulated the expression of acetylated NF-κB p65 (Ac-p65) and CD40 in HAECs in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Pretreatment with SIRT1 agonist (SRT1720 or RSV) or SIRT1-overexpressing lentivirus attenuated PF4-induced Ac-p65 and CD40 expression in HAECs, whereas preincubation with SIRT1 antagonist (NAM or EX527) or SIRT1 shRNA had the opposite effect. To investigate whether NF-κB/p65 signaling pathway modulates CD40 expression in PF4-treated HAECs, PDTC, a NF-κB inhibitor, and p65-shRNA were introduced. PDTC or p65-shRNA treatment down-regulated Ac-p65 expression in HAECs. PDTC or p65-shRNA preincubation suppressed CD40 expression in HAECs after PF4 treatment. To better determine whether SIRT1 regulates CD40 expression in PF4-treated HAECs via the NF-κB/p65 signaling pathway, p65-knockdown HAECs were preincubated with SIRT1 agonists before PF4 treatment. SIRT1 agonist preincubation further decreased CD40 expression in p65-knockdown HAECs treated with PF4. Moreover, PF4 treatment promoted p65 nuclear translocation in HAECs. The results of dual luciferase assay demonstrated that four NF-κB binding sites in the promoter of human CD40 gene were activated in PF4-treated HAECs. In conclusion, our findings suggest that PF4 treatment facilitates CD40 expression in HAECs through the SIRT1/NF-κB/p65 pathway.

Cancer Med 2023; 12:19279-19290. [PMID: 37644825 PMCID: PMC10557827 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.6481] [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: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is an aggressive form of cancer unresponsive to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) that spreads quickly to other organs. Despite reduced androgen levels after ADT, mCRPC development and lethality continues to be conducted by the androgen receptor (AR) axis. The maintenance of AR signaling in mCRPC is a result of AR alterations, androgen intratumoral production, and the action of regulatory elements, such as noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). ncRNAs are key elements in cancer signaling, acting in tumor growth, metabolic reprogramming, and tumor progression. In prostate cancer (PCa), the ncRNAs have been reported to be associated with AR expression, PCa proliferation, and castration resistance. In this study, we aimed to reconstruct the lncRNA-centered regulatory network of mCRPC and identify the lncRNAs which act as master regulators (MRs). METHODS We used publicly available RNA-sequencing to infer the regulatory network of lncRNAs in mCRPC. Five gene signatures were employed to conduct the master regulator analysis. Inferred MRs were then subjected to functional enrichment and symbolic regression modeling. The latter approach was applied to identify the lncRNAs with greater predictive capacity and potential as a biomarker in mCRPC. RESULTS We identified 31 lncRNAs involved in cellular proliferation, tumor metabolism, and invasion-metastasis cascade. SNHG18 and HELLPAR were the highlights of our results. SNHG18 was downregulated in mCRPC and enriched to metastasis signatures. It accurately distinguished both mCRPC and primary CRPC from normal tissue and was associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell-matrix adhesion pathways. HELLPAR consistently distinguished mCRPC from primary CRPC and normal tissue using only its expression. CONCLUSION Our results contribute to understanding the regulatory behavior of lncRNAs in mCRPC and indicate SNHG18 and HELLPAR as master regulators and potential new diagnostic targets in this tumor.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are molecules >200 bases in length without protein-coding functions implicated in signal transduction and gene expression regulation via interaction with proteins or RNAs, exhibiting various functions. The expression of lncRNAs has been detected in many cell types, including macrophages, a type of immune cell involved in acute and chronic inflammation, removal of dead or damaged cells, and tissue repair. Increasing evidence indicates that lncRNAs play essential roles in macrophage functions and disease development. Additionally, many animal studies have reported that blockage or modulation of lncRNA functions alleviates disease severity or morbidity rate. The present review summarizes the current knowledge regarding lncRNAs expressed in macrophages, focusing on their molecular targets and the biological processes regulated by them during the development of inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and sepsis. Possible application of this information to lncRNA-targeting therapy is also discussed. The studies regarding macrophage lncRNAs described in this review can help provide valuable information for developing treatments for various pathological conditions involving macrophages.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exposure and plasma lncRNA signature: A profile and functional analysis. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 877:162932.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants that pose detrimental effects on human health, and the exploration of the associations of PAHs exposure with long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) may provide novel clues to the underlying mechanisms. In the present study, we detected 10 urinary PAHs metabolites by GC-MS and plasma lncRNAs levels by Human LncRNA Array v4 among 230 participants from two panels (160 in the Shiyan panel and 70 in the Wuhan-Zhuhai panel). We applied linear regression models to assess the associations between PAHs metabolites and lncRNAs separately in each panel and combined the results using fixed-effect meta-analysis. To explore the potential origin of PAHs-related lncRNAs in plasma, we estimated their tissue-specificity and associations between lncRNAs levels in plasma and leukocytes. Leukocytes mRNA sequencing data and RNA binding proteins were utilized to explore implicated pathways of identified lncRNAs. We found that urinary 1-hydroxyphenanthrene (1-OH-Phe) was inversely associated with 8 lncRNAs and positively associated with 1 lncRNA, as well as 9-hydroxyphenanthrene (9-OH-Phe) was inversely associated with 11 lncRNAs (FDR < 0.1). Tissue specificity analysis using Genome Tissue Expression database suggested that several identified lncRNAs might specifically express in organs targeted by PAHs exposure (lung, liver, heart, kidney, and brain). Besides, plasma levels of 1-OH-Phe related ENSG00000260616 and 9-OH-Phe related STARD4-AS1 were inversely associated with their intra-leukocytes levels (P value < 0.05). Notably, STARD4-AS1 was positively associated with the expression levels of its neighboring protein-coding gene (CAMK4 and STARD4) in leukocytes and were involved in pathways related to cellular response to DNA damage, which we further confirmed using DNA damage biomarker, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine. Functional analysis also revealed vital pathways related to cytokine-mediated signaling and glucose homeostasis. Our findings provided novel insights into plausible biological mechanisms underlying the adverse effects of PAHs exposure.

Abstract
In recent years, researchers have begun to realize the importance of the role of non-coding RNAs in the treatment of cancer and cardiovascular and neurological diseases. LncRNAs and miRNAs are important non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression and activate mRNA translation through binding to diverse target sites. Their involvement in the regulation of protein function and the modulation of physiological and pathological conditions continues to be investigated. Sirtuins, especially Sirt1, have a critical function in regulating a variety of physiological processes such as oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy. The lncRNAs/miRNAs/Sirt1 axis may be a novel regulatory mechanism, which is involved in the progression and/or prevention of numerous diseases. This review focuses on recent findings on the crosstalk between non-coding RNAs and Sirt1 in myocardial and cerebral injuries and may provide some insight into the development of novel approaches in the treatment of these disorders.Abbreviation: BMECs, brain microvascular endothelial cells; C2dat1, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II subunit delta (CAMK2D)-associated transcript 1; EPCs, endothelial progenitor cells; FOXOs, forkhead transcription factors; GAS5, growth arrest-specific 5; HAECs, human aortic endothelial cells; HAND2-AS1, HAND2 Antisense RNA 1; HIF-1α, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α; ILF3-AS1, interleukin enhancer-binding factor 3-antisense RNA 1; KLF3-AS1, KLF3 antisense RNA 1; LncRNA, long noncoding RNA; LUADT1, Lung Adenocarcinoma Associated Transcript 1; MALAT1, Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1; miRNA, microRNA; NEAT1, nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1; NF-κB, nuclear factor kappa B; OIP5-AS1, Opa-interacting protein 5-antisense transcript 1; Sirt1-AS, Sirt1 Antisense RNA; SNHG7, small nucleolar RNA host gene 7; SNHG8, small nucleolar RNA host gene 8; SNHG12, small nucleolar RNA host gene 12; SNHG15, small nucleolar RNA host gene 15; STAT3, signal transducers and activators of transcription 3; TUG1, taurine up-regulated gene 1; VSMCs, vascular smooth muscle cells; XIST, X inactive specific transcript; ZFAS1, ZNFX1 Antisense RNA 1.
