Abstract
Crystalline silica (CS) particles are ubiquitously present in the environment, particularly in occupational settings, and exposure to respirable CS causes silicosis, imposing a significant disease burden. However, the pathogenesis of silicosis remains unclear. Exposure to external stimuli, such as CS, leads to the accumulation of unfolded proteins and triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, disrupting tissue immune homeostasis and accelerating pathological progression. While pulmonary macrophages phagocytose CS particles to initiate the immune response, the role of ER stress in this process is unknown. Herein, we used a murine model of silicosis to simulate the pathological progression from acute inflammation to fibrosis in silicosis and conducted in vivo pharmacological inhibition of ER stress to explore the underlying mechanism. Using flow cytometry, we further classified pulmonary macrophages into monocyte-like macrophages (monocytes), interstitial macrophages (IMs), and alveolar macrophages (AMs). Our results showed that CS-induced ER stress primarily contributed to the augmentation of IMs and thereby exerted a significant impact on pulmonary macrophages. Despite coexpressing M1- and M2-like markers, IMs predominantly exhibited an M1-like polarization state and played a proinflammatory role by expressing the cytokines pro-IL-1β and TNF-α during the pathological progression of silicosis. Additionally, IMs recruited by CS-induced ER stress also exhibited high expression of MHCII and exerted active immunomodulatory effects. Overall, our study demonstrates that ER stress induced by CS particles triggers a proinflammatory immune microenvironment dominated by IMs and reveals novel insights into the pulmonary toxicological effects of CS particles.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a key organelle in eukaryotic cells, responsible for a wide range of vital functions, including the modification, folding, and trafficking of proteins, as well as the biosynthesis of lipids and the maintenance of intracellular calcium homeostasis. A variety of factors can disrupt the function of the ER, leading to the aggregation of unfolded and misfolded proteins within its confines and the induction of ER stress. A conserved cascade of signaling events known as the unfolded protein response (UPR) has evolved to relieve the burden within the ER and restore ER homeostasis. However, these processes can culminate in cell death while ER stress is sustained over an extended period and at elevated levels. This review summarizes the potential role of ER stress and the UPR in determining cell fate and function in various diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic diseases, autoimmune diseases, fibrotic diseases, viral infections, and cancer. It also puts forward that the manipulation of this intricate signaling pathway may represent a novel target for drug discovery and innovative therapeutic strategies in the context of human diseases.

TXNDC5 Plays a Crucial Role in Regulating Endoplasmic Reticulum Activity through Different ER Stress Signaling Pathways in Hepatic Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:7128.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is influenced by a number of variables, including endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER). Thioredoxin domain-containing 5 (TXNDC5) is a member of the protein disulfide isomerase family and acts as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone. Nevertheless, the function of TXNDC5 in hepatocytes under ER stress remains largely uncharacterized. In order to identify the role of TXNDC5 in hepatic wild-type (WT) and TXNDC5-deficient (KO) AML12 cell lines, tunicamycin, palmitic acid, and thapsigargin were employed as stressors. Cell viability, mRNA, protein levels, and mRNA splicing were then assayed. The protein expression results of prominent ER stress markers indicated that the ERN1 and EIF2AK3 proteins were downregulated, while the HSPA5 protein was upregulated. Furthermore, the ATF6 protein demonstrated no significant alterations in the absence of TXNDC5 at the protein level. The knockout of TXNDC5 has been demonstrated to increase cellular ROS production and its activity is required to maintain normal mitochondrial function during tunicamycin-induced ER stress. Tunicamycin has been observed to disrupt the protein levels of HSPA5, ERN1, and EIF2AK3 in TXNDC5-deficient cells. However, palmitic acid has been observed to disrupt the protein levels of ATF6, HSPA5, and EIF2AK3. In conclusion, TXNDC5 can selectively activate distinct ER stress pathways via HSPA5, contingent on the origin of ER stress. Conversely, the absence of TXNDC5 can disrupt the EIF2AK3 cascade.

Abstract
With ever-increasing intensive studies of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), significant progresses have been made. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)/unfolded protein reaction (UPR) is associated with the development and progression of IPF, and targeting ERS/UPR may be beneficial in the treatment of IPF. Natural product is a tremendous source of new drug discovery, and accumulating studies have reported that many natural products show potential therapeutic effects for IPF via modulating one or more branches of the ERS signaling pathway. Therefore, this review focuses on critical roles of ERS in IPF development, and summarizes herbal preparations and bioactive compounds which protect against IPF through regulating ERS.

Hepatitis E virus ORF3 protein hijacking thioredoxin domain-containing protein 5 (TXNDC5) for its stability to promote viral particle release. J Virol 2024; 98:e0164923. [PMID: 38548704 PMCID: PMC11019958 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01649-23] [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: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide, responsible for approximately 20 million infections annually. Among the three open reading frames (ORFs) of the HEV genome, the ORF3 protein is involved in virus release. However, the host proteins involved in HEV release need to be clarified. In this study, a host protein, thioredoxin domain-containing protein 5 (TXNDC5), interacted with the non-palmitoylated ORF3 protein by co-immunoprecipitation analysis. We determined that the overexpression or knockdown of TXNDC5 positively regulated HEV release from the host cells. The 17FCL19 mutation of the ORF3 protein lost the ability to interact with TXNDC5. The releasing amounts of HEV with the ORF3 mutation (FCL17-19SSP) were decreased compared with wild-type HEV. The overexpression of TXNDC5 can stabilize and increase ORF3 protein amounts, but not the TXNDC5 mutant with amino acids 1-88 deletion. Meanwhile, we determined that the function of TXNDC5 on the stabilization of ORF3 protein is independent of the Trx-like domains. Knockdown of TXNDC5 could lead to the degradation of ORF3 protein by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation-proteasome system. However, the ORF3 protein cannot be degraded in the knockout-TXNDC5 stable cells, suggesting that it may hijack other proteins for its stabilization. Subsequently, we found that the other members of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), including PDIA1, PDIA3, PDIA4, and PDIA6, can increase ORF3 protein amounts, and PDIA3 and PDIA6 interact with ORF3 protein. Collectively, our study suggested that HEV ORF3 protein can utilize TXNDC5 for its stability in ER to facilitate viral release. IMPORTANCE Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is the leading cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide. After the synthesis and modification in the cells, the mature ORF3 protein is essential for HEV release. However, the host protein involved in this process has yet to be determined. Here, we reported a novel host protein, thioredoxin domain-containing protein 5 (TXNDC5), as a chaperone, contributing to HEV release by facilitating ORF3 protein stability in the endoplasmic reticulum through interacting with non-palmitoylated ORF3 protein. However, we also found that in the knockout-TXNDC5 stable cell lines, the HEV ORF3 protein may hijack other proteins for its stabilization. For the first time, our study demonstrated the involvement of TXNDC5 in viral particle release. These findings provide some new insights into the process of the HEV life cycle, the interaction between HEV and host factors, and a new direction for antiviral design.

Abstract
This review focuses on the thioredoxin domain containing 5 (TXNDC5), also known as endoplasmic reticulum protein 46 (ERp46), a member of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family with a dual role in multiple diseases. TXNDC5 is highly expressed in endothelial cells, fibroblasts, pancreatic β-cells, liver cells, and hypoxic tissues, such as cancer endothelial cells and atherosclerotic plaques. TXNDC5 plays a crucial role in regulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and antioxidative stress. Its potential significance in cancer warrants further investigation, given the altered and highly adaptable metabolism of tumor cells. It has been reported that both high and low levels of TXNDC5 expression are associated with multiple diseases, such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, brain diseases, and infections, as well as worse prognoses. TXNDC5 has been attributed to both oncogenic and tumor-suppressive features. It has been concluded that in cancer, TXNDC5 acts as a foe and responds to metabolic and cellular stress signals to promote the survival of tumor cells against apoptosis. Conversely, in normal cells, TXNDC5 acts as a friend to safeguard cells against oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Therefore, TXNDC5 could serve as a viable biomarker or even a potential pharmacological target.

Abstract
In sporadic idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (sIPF) and pulmonary fibrosis caused by a mutation in telomere (TRG-PF) or surfactant related genes (SRG-PF), there are a number of aberrant cellular processes known that can lead to fibrogenesis. We investigated whether RNA expression of genes involved in these processes differed between sIPF, TRG-PF, and SRG-PF and whether expression levels were associated with survival. RNA expression of 28 genes was measured in lung biopsies of 26 sIPF, 17 TRG-PF, and 6 SRG-PF patients. Significant differences in RNA expression of TGFBR2 (p = 0.02) and SFTPA2 (p = 0.02) were found between sIPF, TRG-PF, and SRG-PF. Patients with low (

Crystalline silica-induced macrophage pyroptosis interacting with mitophagy contributes to pulmonary fibrosis via modulating mitochondria homeostasis. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 454:131562.

Abstract
Environmental exposure to crystalline silica (CS) can lead to silicosis. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of silicosis. Previously, we demonstrated that enhancing AMs mitophagy exerted protective effects on silicosis with a restrained inflammatory response. However, the exact molecular mechanisms are elusive. Pyroptosis and mitophagy are two different biological processes that determine cell fate. Exploring whether there were interactions or balances between these two processes in AMs would provide new insight into treating silicosis. Here we reported that crystalline silica induced pyroptosis in silicotic lungs and AMs with apparent mitochondria injury. Notably, we identified a reciprocal inhibitory effect between mitophagy and pyroptosis cascades in AMs. By enhancing or diminishing mitophagy, we demonstrated that PINK1-mediated mitophagy helped clear damaged mitochondria to negatively regulate CS-induced pyroptosis. While constraining pyroptosis cascades by NLRP3, Caspase1, and GSDMD inhibitors, respectively, displayed enhanced PINK1-dependent mitophagy with lessened CS-injured mitochondria. These observed effects were echoed in the mice with enhanced mitophagy. Therapeutically, we demonstrated abolishing GSDMD-dependent pyroptosis by disulfiram attenuated CS-induced silicosis. Collectively, our data demonstrated that macrophage pyroptosis interacting with mitophagy contributes to pulmonary fibrosis via modulating mitochondria homeostasis, which may provide potential therapeutic targets.

[PMID: 37075931 DOI: 10.1016/j.tox.2023.153514] [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: 03/11/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023]
Abstract
Silicosis is a chronic pulmonary disease characterized by diffuse fibrosis of lung caused by the deposition of silica dust (SiO2). The inhaled silica-induced oxidative stress, ROS production and macrophage ferroptosis are key drivers of the pathological process of silicosis. However, mechanisms that involved in the silica-induced macrophage ferroptosis and its contributions to pathogenesis of silicosis remain elusive. In the present study, we showed that silica induced murine macrophage ferroptosis, accompanied by elevation of inflammatory responses, Wnt5a/Ca2+ signaling activation, and concurrent increase of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial redox imbalance in vitro and vivo. Mechanistic study further demonstrated that Wnt5a/Ca2+ signaling played a key role in silica-induced macrophage ferroptosis by modulating ER stress and mitochondrial redox balance. The presence of Wnt5a/Ca2+ signaling ligand Wnt5a protein increased the silica-induced macrophage ferroptosis by activating ER-mediated immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein (Bip)-C/EBP homology protein (Chop) signaling cascade, reducing the expression of negative regulators of ferroptosis, glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4) and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (Slc7a11), subsequentially increasing lipid peroxidation. The pharmacologic inhibition of Wnt5a signaling or block of calcium flow exhibited an opposite effect to Wnt5a, resulted in the reduction of ferroptosis and the expression of Bip-Chop signaling molecules. These findings were further corroborated by the addition of ferroptosis activator Erastin or inhibitor ferrostatin-1. These results provide a mechanism by which silica activates Wnt5a/Ca2+ signaling and ER stress, sequentially leads to redox imbalance and ferroptosis in mouse macrophage cells.

Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a special type of pulmonary parenchymal disease, with chronic, progressive, fibrosis, and high mortality. There is a lack of safe, effective, and affordable treatment methods. Qilongtian (QLT) is a traditional Chinese prescription that is composed of Panax notoginseng, Earthworm, and Rhodiola, and shows the remarkable clinical curative effect of PF. However, the mechanism of QLT remains to be clarified. Therefore, we studied the effectivity of QLT in treating Bleomycin (BLM) induced PF mice. 36 C57BL/6 J mice were randomized into the control group, the model group, the low-, medium- and high-dose QLT group, and Pirfenidone group. After establishing a model of pulmonary fibrosis in mice, the control and model groups were infused with a normal saline solution, and the delivery group was infused with QLT. Pulmonary function in the mice from each group was detected. Pulmonary tissue morphologies and collagen deposition were stained by HE and Masson. The content of hydroxyproline (HYP) was detected by alkaline hydrolysis and the mRNA and protein expression of related genes in pulmonary tissues were detected by using q-PCR, ELISA, and Western blot. Our studies have shown that QLT significantly reduced the inflammatory injury, hydroxy-proline content, and collagen deposition of pulmonary tissue in BLM-induced PF mice and down-regulated the cytokine related to inflammation and fibrosis and PF expression on the mRNA and protein level in PF mice. To identify the mechanism of QLT, the Transcriptome was measured and the IL-17 signal pathway was screened out for further research. Further studies indicated that QLT reduced the mRNAs and protein levels of interleukin 17 (IL-17), c-c motif chemokine ligand 12 (CCL12), c-x-c motif chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5), fos-like antigen 1 (FOSL1), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), and amphiregulin (AREG), which are inflammation and fibrosis-related genes in the IL-17 signal pathway. The results indicated that the potential mechanism for QLT in the prevention of PF progression was by inhibiting inflammation resulting in the IL-17 signal pathway. Our study provides the novel scientific basis of QLT and represents new therapeutics for PF in clinical.

Abstract
Silicosis is a life-threatening lung fibrotic disease caused by excessive inhalation of environmental exposure to crystalline silica-containing dust, whereas achieving therapeutic cures are constrained. Antioxidation and anti-inflammation are currently recognized as effective strategies to counteract organ fibrosis. Using naturally occurring phytomedicines quercetin (Qu) has emerged in antagonizing fibrotic disorders involving oxidative stress and inflammation, but unfortunately the hydrophilicity deficiency. Herein, chitosan-assisted encapsulation of Qu in nanoparticles (Qu/CS-NPs) was first fabricated for silicosis-associated fibrosis treatment by pulmonary delivery. Qu/CS-NPs with spherical diameters of ~160 nm, demonstrated a high Qu encapsulated capability, excellent hydrophilic stability, fantastic oxidation radical scavenging action, and outstanding controlled as well as slow release Qu action. A silicosis rat model induced by intratracheal instillation silica was established to estimate the anti-fibrosis effect of Qu/CS-NPs. After intratracheal administration, CS-NPs markedly enhanced Qu anti-fibrotic therapy efficacy, accompanying the evident changes in reducing ROS and MDA production to mitigate oxidative stress, inhibiting IL-1β and TNF-α release, improving lung histological architecture, down-regulating α-SAM levels and suppressing ECM deposition, and thereby ameliorating silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Results manifested that the augmented antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Qu by CS-NPs delivery was a result of achieving this remarkable improvement in curative effects. Combined with negligible systemic toxicity, nano-decorated Qu may provide a feasible therapeutic option for silicosis therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gliomas are the most prevalent primary tumors of the central nervous system. Their aggressive nature and the obstacles arising during therapy highlights the importance of finding new prognostic markers and therapy targets for gliomas. TXNDC genes are members of the thioredoxin superfamily and were shown to play a role in redox homeostasis, protein folding, electron transfer and also acting as cellular adapters. The well known contribution of these processes in cancer progression prompted us to investigate if TXNDC family members may also play a role in carcinogenesis, in particular diffuse gliomas. METHODS The present study used in silico analysis tools GEPIA, UCSC Xena, Gliovis, cBioPortal, and Ivy GAP to evaluate the expression pattern, prognostic value and clinical significance of TXNDC family members in diffuse gliomas. RESULTS Our analysis showed that TXNDC family members' expression pattern differ between tumors and healthy tissues and among tumors with different grades. The detailed analysis of TXNDC5 in glioma pathogenesis revealed that TXNDC5 expression is associated with more aggressive clinical and molecular features and poor therapy success both in LGG and GBM samples. Kaplan-Meier survival curves represented a worse prognosis for patients with leveated TXNDC5 levels in LGG and all grade glioma patients. The levels of TXNDC5 was shown to be possibly regulated by hypoxia-ER stress axis and a potential mechanism for TXNDC5-driven glioma progression was found to be extracellular matrix (ECM) production which is known to promote tumor aggressiveness. CONCLUSIONS Our results uncovered the previously unknown role of TXNDC family members in glioma pathogenesis and showed that TXNDC5 levels could serve as a predictor of clinical outcome and therapy success and may very well be used for targeted therapy.

Abstract
Thioredoxin domain-containing protein 5 (TXNDC5) is a member of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family. It can promote the formation and rearrangement of disulfide bonds, ensuring proper protein folding. TXNDC5 has three Trx-like domains, which can act independently to introduce disulfide bonds rapidly and disorderly. TXNDC5 is abnormally expressed in various diseases, such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), etc. It can protect cells from oxidative stress, promote cell proliferation, inhibit apoptosis and promote the progression of disease. Aberrant expression of TXNDC5 in different diseases suggests its role in disease diagnosis. In addition, targeting TXNDC5 in the treatment of diseases has shown promising application prospects. This article reviews the structure and function of TXNDC5 as well as its role and mechanism in cancer, RA and other diseases.

Abstract
Exposure to crystalline silica (CS) results in a persistent pulmonary inflammatory response, which results in abnormal tissue repair and excessive matrix deposition. Due to vague pathogenesis, there is virtually no practical therapeutic approach. Here we showed the pharmacological effects of TUDCA on CS-induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. It also helped a faster recovery of CS-impaired pulmonary function. Mechanistically, TUDCA suppressed interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-17A productions by pulmonary helper T (Th) cells. We demonstrated that CS-boosted cytokine-producing Th cells were effector memory (TEM) phenotype. TUDCA decreased the pathogenic TEM cells expansion in the lung. Using in vivo labeling method, we discovered the TEM cells were lung tissue residency with CD103 expression. TUDCA's anti-fibrotic effects were linked to decreasing IFN-γ producing CD103- TEM-like and IL-17A producing CD103+ TRM-like T cells as well as restricting TRM-like Treg cells in the lung. Specifically, TUDCA could restrain CD103+ TRM-like Treg cell proliferation but not limit the CD103- ones. Further characterization study proved that though the Tregs originally came from the thymus, the expressing levels of ST-2 were different, which provides insights into TUDCA's various effects on cell proliferation. Collectively, our data paved the way to understanding the pathogenesis of silicosis and may provide new treatments for this pulmonary fibrotic disease.
