Li Q, Shi WR, Huang YL. Comparison of the protective effects of chitosan oligosaccharides and chitin oligosaccharide on apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress. Exp Ther Med 2024; 28:310. [PMID: 38873041 PMCID: PMC11170321 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2024.12600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Chitin degradation products, especially chitosan oligosaccharides (COSs), are highly valued in various industrial fields, such as food, medicine, cosmetics and agriculture, for their rich resources and high cost-effectiveness. However, little is known about the impact of acetylation on COS cellular bioactivity. The present study aimed to compare the differential effects of COS and highly N-acetylated COS (NACOS), known as chitin oligosaccharide, on H2O2-induced cell stress. MTT assay showed that pretreatment with NACOS and COS markedly inhibited H2O2-induced RAW264.7 cell death in a concentration-dependent manner. Flow cytometry indicated that NACOS and COS exerted an anti-apoptosis effect on H2O2-induced oxidative damage in RAW264.7 cells. NACOS and COS treatment ameliorated H2O2-induced RAW264.7 cell cycle arrest. Western blotting revealed that the anti-oxidation effects of NACOS and COS were mediated by suppressing expression of proteins involved in H2O2-induced apoptosis, including Bax, Bcl-2 and cleaved PARP. Furthermore, the antagonist effects of NACOS were greater than those of COS, suggesting that acetylation was essential for the protective effects of COS.

Abstract
Cellular and molecular responses to DNA damage are highly orchestrated and dynamic, acting to preserve the maintenance and integrity of the genome. Histone proteins bind DNA and organize the genome into chromatin. Post-translational modifications of histones have been shown to play an essential role in orchestrating the chromatin response to DNA damage by regulating the DNA damage response pathway. Among the histone modifications that contribute to this intricate network, histone ADP-ribosylation (ADPr) is emerging as a pivotal component of chromatin-based DNA damage response (DDR) pathways. In this review, we survey how histone ADPr is regulated to promote the DDR and how it impacts chromatin and other histone marks. Recent advancements have revealed histone ADPr effects on chromatin structure and the regulation of DNA repair factor recruitment to DNA lesions. Additionally, we highlight advancements in technology that have enabled the identification and functional validation of histone ADPr in cells and in response to DNA damage. Given the involvement of DNA damage and epigenetic regulation in human diseases including cancer, these findings have clinical implications for histone ADPr, which are also discussed. Overall, this review covers the involvement of histone ADPr in the DDR and highlights potential future investigations aimed at identifying mechanisms governed by histone ADPr that participate in the DDR, human diseases, and their treatments.

Int J Immunopathol Pharmacol 2024; 38:3946320241234741. [PMID: 38379215 PMCID: PMC10880533 DOI: 10.1177/03946320241234741] [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: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to explore the effect and potential mechanism of Sestrin 2 (SESN2) in human lens epithelial cells (HLECs). METHODS To mimic the oxidative stress environment, SAR01/04 cells were treated with 200 μM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for 24 h. Cell viability and apoptosis were checked by cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry. Western blot was taken to check the protein changes of SESN2, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X (Bax), mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), phosphorylated (p)-mTOR, ribosomal protein S6 kinase B1 (p70S6K), p-p70S6K, and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected via the corresponding reagent kit. The levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS SESN2 was down-regulated in cataract lens tissue and up-regulated in SAR01/04 cells treated with H2O2. Under treatment of H2O2, up-regulation of SESN2 improved cell viability, enhanced the activity of SOD and CAT, inhibited cell apoptosis, and reduced the levels of MDA, ROS, IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α, while down-regulation of SESN2 caused the contrary effects. Further bioinformatics analysis suggested that SESN2 regulated the mTOR signaling pathway. Treatment of H2O2 inhibited p-mTOR and p-p70S6K protein expression, while overexpression of SESN2 increased p-mTOR and p-p70S6K protein expression in the H2O2 group and down-regulation of SESN2 further decreased p-mTOR and p-p70S6K protein expression in the H2O2 group. Additionally, H2O2 increased Nrf2 protein expression, and overexpression of SESN2 further increased Nrf2 protein expression in the H2O2 group. Importantly, rapamycin (an inhibitor of mTOR signaling pathway) and knockdown of Nrf2 reversed the promotive effects of SESN2 on cell viability and the inhibitive effects of SESN2 on cell apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammatory reaction. CONCLUSION SESN2 protected HLECs damage induced by H2O2, which was related to the activation of mTOR/Nrf2 pathway.

ADVANCES IN OPHTHALMOLOGY PRACTICE AND RESEARCH 2023; 3:180-186.

Abstract
Background Cataract is a blinding disease worldwide. It is an age-related disease that mainly occurs in people over 65 years old. Cataract is also prevalent in patients with diabetes mellites (DM). The pathological mechanisms underlying diabetic cataract (DC) are more complex than that of age-related cataract. Studies have identified that polyol pathway, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and oxidative stress are the primary pathogenesis of DC. In recent years, molecular-level regulations and pathological processes of lens epithelial cells (LECs) have been confirmed to play roles in the initiation and progression of DC. A comprehensive understanding and elucidation of how chronic hyperglycemia drives molecular-level regulations and cytopathological processes in the lens will shed lights on the prevention, delay and treatment of DC. Main text Excessive glucose in the lens enhances polyol pathway and AGEs formation. Polyol pathway causes imbalance in the ratio of NADPH/NADP+ and NADH/NAD+. Decrease in NADPH/NADP+ ratio compromises antioxidant enzymes, while increase in NADH/NAD+ ratio promotes reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction in mitochondria, resulting in oxidative stress. Oxidative stress in the lens causes oxidation of DNA, proteins and lipids, leading to abnormalities in their structure and functions. Glycation of proteins by AGEs decreases solubility of proteins. High glucose triggered epigenetic regulations directly or indirectly affect expressions of genes and proteins in LECs. Changes in autophagic activity, increases in fibrosis and apoptosis of LECs destroy the morphological structure and physiological functions of the lens epithelium, disrupting lens homeostasis. Conclusions In both diabetic animal models and diabetics, oxidative stress plays crucial roles in the formation of cataract. Epigenetic regulations, include lncRNA, circRNA, microRNA, methylation of RNA and DNA, histone acetylation and pathological processes, include autophagy, fibrosis and apoptosis of LECs also involved in DC.

Abstract
Background. Aberrant methylation of checkpoint with forkhead and ring finger domains (CHFR) was found in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), whereas its role in carcinogenesis is not clear. CHFR can control poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase levels by causing its degradation. The study was aimed to explore the roles and mechanisms of CHFR in the pathogenesis of B-cell NHL. Methods. Short hairpin ribonucleic acid (ShRNAs) targeting CHFR and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) were transduced into Raji cells, and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blotting were carried out to determine their expression. Afterwards, the CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the cell growth and apoptosis. Tumor size and weight were determined using a xenograft model, and decitabine (5-Aza-dC) was used to further determine the methylation status of CHFR through a methylation specificity-PCR assay. Results. 5-Aza-dC-treatment promoted the expression of CHFR and decreased the expression of PARP-1 at both messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein levels. 5-Aza-dC also accelerated Raji-cell apoptosis and restrained its growth in vitro and in vivo (
). These results were contrary to those observed in the shRNA-CHFR group but consistent with those observed in the shRNA-PARP-1 group. The expression profiles of CHFR and PARP-1 in the xenograft model were consistent with those in the cellular model. Treatment with 5-Aza-dC led to demethylation of CHFR in nude mice. Besides, there may be a negative correlation between CHFR and PARP-1 in B-cell NHL cells. Conclusion. Our findings indicated that 5-Aza-dC could lead to the demethylation of the CHFR promoter and suppress Raji cell growth.

Evidence of Increased Oxidative Stress in the Placental Tissue of Women Who Suffered an Episode of Psychosis during Pregnancy. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12010179.

Abstract
Psychosis is a complex clinical syndrome resulting in a loss of contact with reality and alterations in behavior and sensorial and motor functions. Although the onset of psychosis can be related to any medical condition, most cases of psychosis are not fully understood. Psychosis may manifest for the first time during pregnancy, which is detrimental to maternofetal well-being. The impact of having a first episode of psychosis during pregnancy on the placenta has not yet been explored. Oxidative stress is thought to take part in the etiopathogenesis of this complex disorder, and this condition can also affect the placenta as it is highly sensitive to changes in the maternal environment. In this sense, the aim of the present work was to study the gene and protein expression through RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively, of oxidative stress markers (NOX-1, NOX-2, iNOS, eNOS and PARP) in the placental tissue of women who underwent a first episode of psychosis during pregnancy (FE-PW) in comparison to healthy pregnant women. Our results showed augmented gene and protein expression of NOX-1, NOX-2, iNOS and PARP in the placental tissue of FE-PW. For the first time, we demonstrated that oxidative stress may have an important pathophysiological role in this tissue, aiding in explaining the impact of psychosis on pregnancy and the need for future studies in this field to guide better clinical management of these patients.

Abstract
BMN673 is a relatively new PARP inhibitor (PARPi) that exhibits superior efficacy in vitro compared to olaparib and other clinically relevant PARPi. BMN673, similar to most clinical PARPi, inhibits the catalytic activities of PARP-1 and PARP-2 and shows impressive anticancer potential as monotherapy in several pre-clinical and clinical studies. Tumor resistance to PARPi poses a significant challenge in the clinic. Thus, combining PARPi with other treatment modalities, such as radiotherapy (RT), is being actively pursued to overcome such resistance. However, the modest to intermediate radiosensitization exerted by olaparib, rucaparib, and veliparib, limits the rationale and the scope of such combinations. The recently reported strong radiosensitizing potential of BMN673 forecasts a paradigm shift on this front. Evidence accumulates that BMN673 may radiosensitize via unique mechanisms causing profound shifts in the balance among DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathways. According to one of the emerging models, BMN673 strongly inhibits classical non-homologous end-joining (c-NHEJ) and increases reciprocally and profoundly DSB end-resection, enhancing error-prone DSB processing that robustly potentiates cell killing. In this review, we outline and summarize the work that helped to formulate this model of BMN673 action on DSB repair, analyze the causes of radiosensitization and discuss its potential as a radiosensitizer in the clinic. Finally, we highlight strategies for combining BMN673 with other inhibitors of DNA damage response for further improvements.

Abstract
Background No reports exist as to neuroprotective effects associated with topical activation of transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8), a noted cold receptor. In the present study, we identified whether activating peripheral TRPM8 can be an adjuvant therapy for ischemic stroke.
Methods Menthol, an agonist of TRPM8, was applied orally or topically to all paws or back of the mouse after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). We used Trpm8 gene knockout (Trpm8−/−) mice or TRPM8 antagonist and lidocaine to validate the roles of TRPM8 and peripheral nerve conduction in menthol against ischemic stroke. Results Application of menthol 16% to paw derma attenuated infarct volumes and ameliorated sensorimotor deficits in stroke mice induced by MCAO. The benefits of topically applied menthol were associated with reductions in oxidative stress, neuroinflammation and infiltration of monocytes and macrophages in ischemic brains. Antagonizing TRPM8 or Trpm8 knockout dulls the neuroprotective effects of topically application of menthol against MCAO. Immunohistochemistry analyses revealed significantly higher TRPM8 expression in skin tissue samples obtained from the paws compared with skin from the backs, which was reflected by significantly smaller infarct lesion volumes and better sensorimotor function in mice treated with menthol on the paws compared with the back. Blocking conduction of peripheral nerve in the four paws reversed the neuroprotective effects of topical menthol administrated to paws. On the other hand, oral menthol dosing did not assist with recovery from MCAO in our study. Conclusion Our results suggested that activation of peripheral TRPM8 expressed in the derma tissue of limbs with sufficient concentration of menthol is beneficial to stroke recovery. Topical application of menthol on hands and feet could be a novel and simple-to-use therapeutic strategy for stroke patients.

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 promotes acute kidney injury by alleviating poly ADP ribose polymerase 1 degradation. Kidney Int 2022; 102:828-844. [PMID: 35752325 DOI: 10.1016/j.kint.2022.05.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
The novel biomarker, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7), is used clinically to predict different types of acute kidney injury (AKI) and has drawn significant attention as a urinary biomarker. However, as a secreted protein in the circulation of patients with AKI, it is unclear whether IGFBP7 acts as a key regulator in AKI progression, and if mechanisms underlying its upregulation still need to be determined. Here we found that IGFBP7 is highly expressed in the blood and urine of patients and mice with AKI possibly via a c-Jun-dependent mechanism, and is positively correlated with kidney dysfunction. Global knockout of IGFBP7 ameliorated kidney dysfunction, inflammatory responses, and programmed cell death in murine models of cisplatin-, kidney ischemia/reperfusion-, and lipopolysaccharide-induced AKI. IGFBP7 mainly originated from kidney tubular epithelial cells. Conditional knockout of IGFBP7 from the kidney protected against AKI. By contrast, rescue of IGFBP7 expression in IGFBP7-knockout mice restored kidney damage and inflammation. IGFBP7 function was determined in vitro using recombinant IGFBP7 protein, IGFBP7 knockdown, or overexpression. Additionally, IGFBP7 was found to bind to poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP1) and inhibit its degradation by antagonizing the E3 ubiquitin ligase ring finger protein 4 (RNF4). Thus, IGFBP7 in circulation acts as a biomarker and key mediator of AKI by inhibiting RNF4/PARP1-mediated tubular injury and inflammation. Hence, over-activation of the IGFBP7/PARP1 axis represents a promising target for AKI treatment.

Abstract
In cystic fibrosis (CF), the deletion of phenylalanine 508 (F508del) in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) leads to misfolding and premature degradation of the mutant protein. These defects can be targeted with pharmacological agents named potentiators and correctors. During the past years, several efforts have been devoted to develop and approve new effective molecules. However, their clinical use remains limited, as they fail to fully restore F508del-CFTR biological function. Indeed, the search for CFTR correctors with different and additive mechanisms has recently increased. Among them, drugs that modulate the CFTR proteostasis environment are particularly attractive to enhance therapy effectiveness further. This Perspective focuses on reviewing the recent progress in discovering CFTR proteostasis regulators, mainly describing the design, chemical structure, and structure-activity relationships. The opportunities, challenges, and future directions in this emerging and promising field of research are discussed, as well.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury (MIRI), characterized by post-ischemic cardiomyocytes death and reperfusion myocardial damage, is a lethal yet unresolved complication in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Previous studies have demonstrated that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) participates in the progression of various cardiovascular diseases, and various reports have proved that PARP1 can be a therapeutic target in these diseases, but whether it plays a role in MIRI is still unknown. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to explore the role and mechanism of PARP1 in the development of MIRI. Firstly, we demonstrated that PARP1 was activated during MIRI-induced myocardial autophagy in vitro. Moreover, PARP1 inhibition protected cardiomyocytes from MIRI through the inhibition of autophagy. Next, we discovered that specificity protein1 (Sp1), as a transcription factor of PARP1, regulates its target gene PARP1 through binding to its target gene promoter during transcription. Furthermore, silencing Sp1 protected cardiomyocytes from MIRI via the inhibition of PARP1. Finally, the functions and mechanisms of PARP1 in the development of MIRI were also verified in vivo with SD rats model. Based on these findings, we concluded that PARP1 inhibition protects cardiomyocytes from MIRI through the inhibition of autophagy, which is targeted by Sp1 suppression. Therefore, the utilization of PARP1 exhibits great therapeutic potential for MIRI treatment in future.

Oral Administration of Gintonin Protects the Brains of Mice against A β-Induced Alzheimer Disease Pathology: Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:6635552. [PMID: 33953832 PMCID: PMC8068536 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6635552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2020] [Revised: 03/10/2021] [Accepted: 04/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
The study was aimed at analyzing the protective effects of gintonin in an amyloid beta- (Aβ-) induced Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse model. For the development of the Aβ-induced AD mouse model, the amyloid-β (Aβ 1-42) peptide was stereotaxically injected into the brains of mice. Subsequently, gintonin was administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day/per oral (p.o) for four weeks daily, and its effects were evaluated by using western blotting, fluorescence analysis of brain sections, biochemical tests, and memory-related behavioral evaluations. To elucidate the effects of gintonin at the mechanistic level, the activation of endogenous antioxidant mechanisms, as well as the activation of astrocytes, microglia, and proinflammatory mediators such as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF-2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), was evaluated. In addition, microglial cells (BV-2 cells) were used to analyze the effects of gintonin on microglial activation and signaling mechanisms. Collectively, the results suggested that gintonin reduced elevated oxidative stress by improving the expression of NRF-2 and HO-1 and thereby reducing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation (LPO). Moreover, gintonin significantly suppressed activated microglial cells and inflammatory mediators in the brains of Aβ-injected mice. Our findings also indicated improved synaptic and memory functions in the brains of Aβ-injected mice after treatment with gintonin. These results suggest that gintonin may be effective for relieving AD symptoms by regulating oxidative stress and inflammatory processes in a mouse model of AD. Collectively, the findings of this preclinical study highlight and endorse the potential, multitargeted protective effects of gintonin against AD-associated oxidative damage, neuroinflammation, cognitive impairment, and neurodegeneration.

Exp Eye Res 2021; 206:108543.

Abstract
Many long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can exert crucial roles in the pathogenesis of cataract, including lncRNA KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1). We aimed to further elucidate the biological role and regulatory molecular mechanism of KCNQ1OT1 in cataract. The expression of KCNQ1OT1 and miR-223-3p and BCL2 like 2 (BCL2L2) was examined by qRT-PCR. Cataract cell model was constructed by treatment with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in lens epithelial cells (SRA01/04). SRA01/04 cell viability and cell apoptosis were tested using CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Western blot (WB) was performed to measure the levels of apoptosis-related proteins and BCL2L2 protein. The oxidative stress factors were analyzed by corresponding kits. The interaction between miR-223-3p and KCNQ1OT1 or BCL2L2 was validated by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. We found that KCNQ1OT1 was upregulated in cataract anterior lens capsule samples and H2O2-induced SRA01/04 cells. Knockdown of KCNQ1OT1 suppressed H2O2-induced SRA01/04 cell apoptosis and oxidative stress. KCNQ1OT1 acted as a sponge of miR-223-3p. Inhibition of miR-223-3p could abate the function of KCNQ1OT1 silence in H2O2-treated SRA01/04 cells. Additionally, BCL2L2 was a direct target of miR-223-3p, and miR-223-3p weakened H2O2-induced SRA01/04 cell apoptosis and oxidative stress by targeting BCL2L2. Collectively, the data suggest a role for the KCNQ1OT1/miR-223-3p/BCL2L2 axis in cataract formation but the data was generated using an epithelial cell line.

The roles of PARP-1 and XPD and their potential interplay in repairing bupivacaine-induced neuron oxidative DNA damage. Aging (Albany NY) 2021; 13:4274-4290.

Abstract
Bupivacaine has been widely used in clinical Anesthesia, but its neurotoxicity has been frequently reported, implicating cellular oxidative DNA damage as the major underlying mechanism. However, the mechanism underlying bupivacaine-induced oxidative DNA damage is unknown. We, thus, exposed SH-SY5Y cells to 1.5mM bupivacaine to induce neurotoxicity. Then, iTRAQ proteomic analysis was used to explore the repair of neuronal oxidative DNA damage. By analyzing the STRING version 11.0 database, the bioinformatics relationship between key repair enzymes was tracked. Subsequently, immunofluorescence co-localization and immunoprecipitation were used to investigate the interaction between key repair enzymes. The iTRAQ showed that Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP-1) from the base excision repair pathway participated closely in the repair of oxidative DNA damage induced by bupivacaine, and inhibition of PARP-1 expression significantly aggravated bupivacaine-induced DNA damage and apoptosis. Interestingly, this study showed that there were interactions and co-expression between PARP-1 and XPD (xeroderma pigmentosum D), another key protein of the nucleic acid excision repair pathway. After inhibiting XPD, PARP-1 expression was significantly reduced. However, simultaneous inhibition of both XPD and PARP-1 did not further increase DNA damage. It is concluded that PARP-1 may repair bupivacaine-induced oxidative DNA damage through XPD-mediated interactions.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent hydrolytic enzymes of great biological relevance, and some of them are key to the neuroinflammatory events and the brain damage associated to stroke. Non-zinc binding ligands are an emerging trend in drug discovery programs in this area due to their lower tendency to show off-target effects. 7-Amino-phenanthridin-6-one is disclosed as a new framework able to inhibit matrix metalloproteinases by binding to the distal part of the enzyme S1' site, as shown by computational studies. A kinetic study revealed inhibition to be noncompetitive. Some of the compounds showed some degree of selectivity for the MMP-2 and MMP-9 enzymes, which are crucial for brain damage associated to ischemic stroke. Furthermore, some compounds also had a high neuroprotective activity against oxidative stress, which is also very relevant aspect of ischaemic stroke pathogenesis, both decreasing lipid peroxidation and protecting against the oxidative stress-induced reduction in cell viability. One of the compounds, bearing a 2-thienyl substituent at C-9 and a 4-methoxyphenylamino at C-7, had the best-balanced multitarget profile and was selected as a lead on which to base future structural manipulation.

ACS OMEGA 2020; 5:25593-25604. [PMID: 33073085 PMCID: PMC7557227 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.0c02467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2020] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The marine natural product latonduine A (1) shows F508del-cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) corrector activity in cell-based assays. Pull-down experiments, enzyme inhibition assays, and siRNA knockdown experiments suggest that the F508del-CFTR corrector activities of latonduine A and a synthetic analogue MCG315 (4) result from simultaneous inhibition of PARP3 and PARP16. A library of synthetic latonduine A analogs has been prepared in an attempt to separate the PARP3 and PARP16 inhibitory properties of latonduine A with the goal of discovering selective small-molecule PARP3 and PARP16 inhibitory cell biology tools that could confirm the proposed dual-target F508del-CFTR corrector mechanism of action. The structure activity relationship (SAR) study reported herein has resulted in the discovery of the modestly potent (IC50 3.1 μM) PARP3 selective inhibitor (±)-5-hydroxy-4-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[c]azepin-1-one (5) that shows 96-fold greater potency for inhibition of PARP3 compared with its inhibition of PARP16 in vitro and the potent (IC50 0.362 μM) PARP16 selective inhibitor (±)-7,8-dichloro-5-hydroxy-4-(pyridin-2-yl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[c]azepin-1-one (6) that shows 205-fold selectivity for PARP16 compared with PARP3 in vitro. At 1 or 10 μM, neither 5 or 6 alone showed F508del-CFTR corrector activity, but when added together at 1 or 10 μM each, the combination exhibited F508del-CFTR corrector activity identical to 1 or 10 μM latonduine A (1), respectively, supporting its novel dual PARP target mechanism of action. Latonduine A (1) showed additive in vitro corrector activity in combination with the clinically approved corrector VX809, making it a potential new partner for cystic fibrosis combination drug therapies.

Abstract
Age-related cataract (ARC) is the leading cause of visual impairment or even blindness among the aged population globally. Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) has been proven to be the potential regulator of ARC. The latest study reveals that maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) promotes the apoptosis and inhibits the proliferation of multiple cancer cells. However, the expression and role of MEG3 in ARC are unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of MEG3 in ARC and explored the regulatory mechanisms underlying these effects. We observed that MEG3 expression was up-regulated in the age-related cortical cataract (ARCC) lens capsules and positively correlated with the histological degree of ARCC. The pro-apoptosis protein, active caspase-3 and Bax increased in the anterior lens capsules of ARCC tissue, while the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 decreased compared to normal lens. Knockdown of MEG3 increased the viability and inhibited the apoptosis of LECs upon the oxidative stress induced by H2O2. MEG3 was localized in both nucleus and cytoplasm in LECs. MEG3 facilitated TP53INP1 expression via acting as miR-223 sponge and promoting P53 expression. Additionally, TP53INP1 knockdown alleviated H2O2-induced lens turbidity. In summary, MEG3 promoted ARC progression by up-regulating TP53INP1 expression through suppressing miR-223 and promoting P53 expression, which would provide a novel insight into the pathogenesis of ARC.

Abstract
PURPOSE High glucose level is a strong initiator of both oxidative stress and DNA damage to various cellular proteins. This activates the poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme, which is responsible for disturbing physiological energy metabolic homeostasis. The present study aimed to elucidate the association between stress and the PARP pathway by using resveratrol (RSV) and nicotinamide (NAM, PARP inhibitor) to treat diabetic cataract. METHOD Albino rats were used for the experimental study. A single streptozotocin administration (55 mg/kg, i.p.) prompted diabetes in the animals. The experimental groups were the normal group (non-diabetic) and the diabetic groups: the diabetic control animals (group D), the diabetic animals treated with RSV at 40 mg/kg/day, i.p. (D+ RSV group), NAM at 100 and 300 mg/kg/day, i.p. (D+ NAM100, D+ NAM300 groups, respectively), and a combination of RSV and NAM i.p. (D+ RSV+NAM100 = Combi 1 group, D+ RSV+NAM300 = Combi 2 group). Glucose levels and the eyes were examined biweekly; various cataractogenic parameters in the lenses were examined after completion of the eight-week experimental protocol. RESULTS Compared to diabetic control, RSV monotherapy significantly decreased hyperglycemia and other lenticular alterations. NAM at the high dose only showed beneficial effects without altering the blood glucose level, lenticular aldose reductase (AR) activity, and sorbitol content, primarily restored the lenticular NAD level and decreased oxidative stress in diabetic rats. These findings regarding NAM treatment indicate that a pathway other than the antioxidant defense system and the polyol pathway, which might be due to PARP inhibition, is involved in diabetic cataracts. Moreover, compared to RSV monotherapy, combination treatments were effective. CONCLUSION These results indicate that hyperglycemia and oxidative-osmotic-nitrosative stress play central roles in the pathophysiology of diabetic cataracts. Moreover, our study also revealed that concurrent treatment with the RSV and NAM may prove useful in the pharmacotherapy of diabetes and its secondary complications such as cataract.

The interplay between oxidative stress and bioenergetic failure in neuropsychiatric illnesses: can we explain it and can we treat it? Mol Biol Rep 2020; 47:5587-5620. [PMID: 32564227 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-020-05590-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2020] [Accepted: 06/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Nitro-oxidative stress and lowered antioxidant defences play a key role in neuropsychiatric disorders such as major depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The first part of this paper details mitochondrial antioxidant mechanisms and their importance in reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxification, including details of NO networks, the roles of H2O2 and the thioredoxin/peroxiredoxin system, and the relationship between mitochondrial respiration and NADPH production. The second part highlights and identifies the causes of the multiple pathological sequelae arising from self-amplifying increases in mitochondrial ROS production and bioenergetic failure. Particular attention is paid to NAD+ depletion as a core cause of pathology; detrimental effects of raised ROS and reactive nitrogen species on ATP and NADPH generation; detrimental effects of oxidative and nitrosative stress on the glutathione and thioredoxin systems; and the NAD+-induced signalling cascade, including the roles of SIRT1, SIRT3, PGC-1α, the FOXO family of transcription factors, Nrf1 and Nrf2. The third part discusses proposed therapeutic interventions aimed at mitigating such pathology, including the use of the NAD+ precursors nicotinamide mononucleotide and nicotinamide riboside, both of which rapidly elevate levels of NAD+ in the brain and periphery following oral administration; coenzyme Q10 which, when given with the aim of improving mitochondrial function and reducing nitro-oxidative stress in the brain, may be administered via the use of mitoquinone, which is in essence ubiquinone with an attached triphenylphosphonium cation; and N-acetylcysteine, which is associated with improved mitochondrial function in the brain and produces significant decreases in oxidative and nitrosative stress in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM When exceeding the homeostatic range, manganese (Mn) might cause neurotoxicity, characteristic of the pathophysiology of several neurological diseases. Although the underlying mechanism of its neurotoxicity remains unclear, Mn-induced oxidative stress contributes to disease etiology. DNA damage caused by oxidative stress may further trigger dysregulation of DNA-damage-induced poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation), which is of central importance especially for neuronal homeostasis. Accordingly, this study was designed to assess in the genetically traceable in vivo model Caenorhabditis elegans the role of PARylation as well as the consequences of loss of pme-1 or pme-2 (orthologues of PARP1 and PARP2) in Mn-induced toxicity. METHODS A specific and sensitive isotope-dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed to quantify PARylation in worms. Next to monitoring the PAR level, pme-1 and pme-2 gene expression as well as Mn-induced oxidative stress was studied in wildtype worms and the pme deletion mutants. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION While Mn failed to induce PARylation in wildtype worms, toxic doses of Mn led to PAR-induction in pme-1-deficient worms, due to an increased gene expression of pme-2 in the pme-1 deletion mutants. However, this effect could not be observed at sub-toxic Mn doses as well as upon longer incubation times. Regarding Mn-induced oxidative stress, the deletion mutants did not show hypersensitivity. Taken together, this study characterizes worms to model PAR inhibition and addresses the consequences for Mn-induced oxidative stress in genetically manipulated worms.

[PMID: 30636610 DOI: 10.2174/1566524019666190112143636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2018] [Revised: 12/26/2018] [Accepted: 01/07/2019] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Protein sumoylation is a well established regulatory mechanism to control many cellular processes such as chromatin structure dynamics, transcriptional regulation of gene expression, cell proliferation and differentiation, cell transformation and carcinogenesis, autophagy and senescence. In the vertebrate vision system, we and others have revealed that sumoylation plays important roles in regulating differentiation of several ocular tissues during eye development. To further elucidate the functional mechanisms of sumoylation, in vitro assay systems are needed. Currently, the five major cell lines including αTN4-1, FHL124, HLE, N/N1003A and ARPE-19 have been extensively used to test the biochemical and molecular aspects of normal vision physiology and various disease processes. Thus, we conducted the study on the expression patterns of the three types of sumoylation enzymes, the activating enzymes SAE1 and UBA2, the conjugating enzyme UBC9, and the ligating enzymes such as RanBP2 and PIAS1 in these ocular cell lines. METHODS The 5 major ocular cell lines were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing fetal bovine serum (FBS) or rabbit serum (RBS) and 1% Penicillin- Streptomycin. The mRNA levels were analysed with qRT-PCR. The protein levels were determined with western blot analysis and quantitated with Image J. RESULTS we have obtained the following results: 1) For the mRNAs encoding E1 SAE1 and UBA2, E2 UBC9 and E3 PIAS1, the highest level of expression was observed in αTN4-1 cells; For the mRNA encoding RanBP2, the highest level of expression was detected in N/N1003A cells; 2) In contrast to the mRNA expression patterns, a similar level of the SAE1 protein was observed in the all five cell lines, and so is true with UBA2 protein in all cells except for N/N1003A where over fourfold of enrichment in UBA2 protein was observed compared with other cell lines; 3) A similar level of UBC9 protein was also detected in all cells except for N/N1003A where more than one-fold of decrease in UBC9 level was found compared with other cell lines; 4) For E3 ligases, we did not identify the regular PIAS1 band in N/N1003A cells, the remaining cells have a level of PIAS1 with difference of less than 0.6-fold; all cells except for FHL124 cells have a similar level of RanBP2, and a 70% drop in RanBP2 was observed in FHL124 cell. CONCLUSIONS Our determination of the differential expression patterns of the three types of sumoylation enzymes in the 5 ocular cell lines help to understand sumoylation functions in vertebrate eye.

Abstract
Naked mole rat (NMR) is the long-lived and tumor-resistant rodent. NMRs possess multiple adaptations that may contribute to longevity and cancer-resistance. However, whether NMRs have more efficient DNA repair have not been directly tested. Here we compared base excision repair (BER) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) systems in extracts from NMR and mouse fibroblasts after UVC irradiation. Transcript levels of the key repair enzymes demonstrated in most cases higher inducibility in the mouse vs the NMR cells. Ratios of repair enzymes activities in the extracts somewhat varied depending on post-irradiation time. NMR cell extracts were 2–3-fold more efficient at removing the bulky lesions, 1.5–3-fold more efficient at removing uracil, and about 1.4-fold more efficient at cleaving the AP-site than the mouse cells, while DNA polymerase activities being as a whole higher in the mouse demonstrate different patterns of product distribution. The level of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis was 1.4–1.8-fold higher in the NMR cells. Furthermore, NMR cell extracts displayed higher binding of PARP1 to DNA probes containing apurinic/apyrimidinic site or photo-reactive DNA lesions. Cumulatively, our results suggest that the NMR has more efficient excision repair systems than the mouse, which may contribute to longevity and cancer resistance of this species.

Abstract
Background Moringa oleifera, also known as horseradish tree or drumstick tree, has strong antioxidant properties. In the present study, we investigated the potential effect of Moringa oleifera stem extract (MOSE) on cataract formation induced by oxidative stress in cultured mouse lenses. Methods Mouse lenses cultured in vitro were pretreated with MOSE (0.5 and 1 mg/mL) for 24 h. Then, 1 mM hydrogen peroxide was added, and mouse lenses were cultured for a further 24 h. The medium was then changed to normal culture medium. After 48 h, lens opacification, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, reduced glutathione (GSH) content, and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were measured in lens tissues. In addition, the protein expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), a nuclear receptor with potential benefits to improve vision-threatening eye diseases, was assayed. Results MOSE (1 mg/mL) alleviated lens opacification, reduced ROS generation, increased GSH content, and elevated SOD and CAT activities in cultured lenses. Moreover, MOSE upregulated the expressions of SOD, CAT, and PPARα. Conclusions This study showed that MOSE alleviates oxidative stress-induced cataract formation, and the mechanism of the effect is mainly related to its improvement of the endogenous antioxidant system in the lens.

Abstract
This study investigated poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) activation in cultured human lens epithelial cells exposed to two levels of UVB light (312 nm peak wavelength), 0.014 and 0.14 J cm-2 ("low" and "high" dose, respectively). At the low dose, PARP-1 and poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymers acted to repair DNA strand breaks rapidly with no subsequent major effects on either cell morphology or viability. However, following the high UVB dose, there was a dramatic second phase of PARP-1 activation, 90 min later, which included a sudden reappearance of DNA strand breaks, bursts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation within both the mitochondria and nucleus, a translocation of PAR from the nucleus to the mitochondria and an ultimate 70% loss of cell viability occurring after 24 h. The results provide evidence for an important role for PARP-1 in protecting the human lens epithelium against low levels of UVB light, and possibly participating in the triggering of cell death following exposure to toxic levels of radiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1136410 in the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) gene was associated with PARP activities, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels, and the risk of age-related cataract (ARC) in a Chinese Han population. METHODS In this two-stage case-control study with a total of 1010 ARC patients and 1045 controls, SNP rs1136410 was genotyped by high-resolution melting analyses (HRM). PARP activities and 8-OHdG levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were determined by ELISA kits. RESULTS In discovery, replication, and their merged sets, the variant genotypes (AG+GG) of SNP rs1136410 were significantly associated with an increased risk of ARC under a dominant model (Adjusted odds ratio (OR)=1.42, Padj=0.001 for the merged set). This association was further identified in subtype analyses for cortical ARC (Adjusted OR=1.69, Padj<0.001). In subgroup analyses, we identified a significant interaction between SNP rs1136410 and smoking habit in increasing ARC risk (Pinter=0.019). Moreover, ARC patients had lower activities of PARP and higher levels of 8-OHdG than controls. There were significant correlations of SNP rs1136410 with decreased PARP activities and increased 8-OHdG levels in controls and patients with cortical ARC. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that SNP rs1136410 may confer susceptibility to ARC by affecting PARP activities and oxidative DNA damage.
