Abstract
Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (PIN1) is a member of a family of peptidyl-prolyl isomerases that specifically recognizes and binds phosphoproteins, catalyzing the rapid cis-trans isomerization of phosphorylated serine/threonine-proline motifs, which leads to changes in the structures and activities of the targeted proteins. Through this complex mechanism, PIN1 regulates many hallmarks of cancer including cell autonomous metabolism and the crosstalk with the cellular microenvironment. Many studies showed that PIN1 is largely overexpressed in cancer turning on a set of oncogenes and abrogating the function of tumor suppressor genes. Among these targets, recent evidence demonstrated that PIN1 is involved in lipid and glucose metabolism and accordingly, in the Warburg effect, a characteristic of tumor cells. As an orchestra master, PIN1 finely tunes the signaling pathways allowing cancer cells to adapt and take advantage from a poorly organized tumor microenvironment. In this review, we highlight the trilogy among PIN1, the tumor microenvironment and the metabolic program rewiring.

Multitarget neuroprotection by quercetin: Changes in gene expression in two perinatal asphyxia models. Neurochem Int 2021; 147:105064. [PMID: 33951501 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuint.2021.105064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2020] [Revised: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) causes mortality and long-term neurologic morbidities in newborns, affecting pathways related to energy failure, excitotoxicity and oxidative stress that often lead to cell death. The whole process of HIE injury is coupled to changes in the expression of a great array of proteins. A nanoliposomal preparation of the flavonoid quercetin has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in perinatal asphyxia models. This study aimed to identify neonatal HIE markers and explore the effect of quercetin administration in two perinatal asphyxia models: newborn rats and piglets. In the rat model, nanoliposomal quercetin administration reduced mortality after asphyxia. In the piglet model, quercetin partially overrode the reduction of HIF-1α mRNA levels in the cortex induced by asphyxia. Quercetin administration also reduced increased level of HO-1 mRNA in asphyctic piglets. These results suggest that quercetin neuroprotection might be involved in the regulation of HIF-1α, HO-1 and their targets. A proteomic approach revealed that the glycolytic pathway is strongly regulated by quercetin in both species. We also identified a set of proteins differentially expressed that could be further considered as markers. In piglets, this set includes Acidic Leucine-rich nuclear phosphoprotein 32 (ANP32A), associated with nervous system differentiation, proteins related with death pathways and alpha-enolase which can be converted to neuron-specific enolase, a glycolytic enzyme that may promote neuroprotection. In newborn rats, other promising proteins associated with neurogenesis and neuroprotection emerged, such as dihydropyrimidinase-related proteins, catalytic and regulatory subunits of phosphatases and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK). Our results show that a nanoliposomal preparation of quercetin, with protective effect in two HIE mammal models, modulates the expression of proteins involved in energy metabolism and other putative neuroprotective signals in the cortex. Identification of these signals could reveal potential molecular pathways involved in disease onset and the novel quercetin neuroprotective strategy.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the effects of sevoflurane and propofol anesthesia on inflammatory or anti-inflammatory responses in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods Patients undergoing LC (n = 23) were divided into sevoflurane (S) (n = 11) and propofol (P) (n = 12) anesthesia groups. A blood sample was taken before induction (T0), after induction but before pneumoperitoneum (T1), 15 minutes after pneumoperitoneum (T2), immediately after extubation (T3), and 30 minutes after extubation (T4). P-selectin-positive platelets and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)-positive lymphocytes, and plasma P-selectin, ICAM-1 and thrombomodulin (TM) levels were analyzed. Results Sevoflurane significantly increased P-selectin expression in platelets at T2, T3, and T4 and in plasma at T1, T2, T3, and T4, but it did not affect ICAM-1 and TM. Propofol had no significant effects on P-selectin, ICAM-1, and TM expression during anesthesia and surgery. P-selectin, ICAM-1, and TM expression was higher in the S compared with P group at T1, T2, and T3 for platelet P-selectin; T2 and T4 for plasma P-selectin; T1 and T2 for lymphocyte ICAM-1; and T1, T2, and T3 for plasma TM. Conclusions Propofol anesthesia can delay the inflammatory reactions during laparoscopic surgery and better maintain the structure stability and function in vascular endothelial cells.

P2Y11 Agonism Prevents Hypoxia/Reoxygenation- and Angiotensin II-Induced Vascular Dysfunction and Intimal Hyperplasia Development. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22020855. [PMID: 33467058 PMCID: PMC7829863 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22020855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2020] [Revised: 01/02/2021] [Accepted: 01/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Vascular dysfunction in cardiovascular diseases includes vasomotor response impairments, endothelial cells (ECs) activation, and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) proliferation and migration to the intima. This results in intimal hyperplasia and vessel failure. We previously reported that activation of the P2Y11 receptor (P2Y11R) in human dendritic cells, cardiofibroblasts and cardiomyocytes was protective against hypoxia/reoxygenation (HR) lesions. In this study, we investigated the role of P2Y11R signaling in vascular dysfunction. P2Y11R activity was modulated using its pharmacological agonist NF546 and antagonist NF340. Rat aortic rings were exposed to angiotensin II (AngII) and evaluated for their vasomotor response. The P2Y11R agonist NF546 reduced AngII-induced vascular dysfunction by promoting EC-dependent vasorelaxation, through an increased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and reduced AngII-induced H2O2 release; these effects were prevented by the use of the P2Y11R antagonist NF340. Human vascular SMCs and ECs were subjected to AngII or H/R simulation in vitro. P2Y11R agonist modulated vasoactive factors in human ECs, that is, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and endothelin-1, reduced SMC proliferation and prevented the switch towards a synthetic phenotype. H/R and AngII increased ECs secretome-induced SMC proliferation, an effect prevented by P2Y11R activation. Thus, our data suggest that P2Y11R activation may protect blood vessels from HR-/AngII-induced injury and reduce vascular dysfunctions. These results open the way for new vasculoprotective interventions.

Abstract
Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAM), physical platforms that enable communication between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), are enriched with many proteins and enzymes involved in several crucial cellular processes, such as calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis, lipid synthesis and trafficking, autophagy and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Accumulating studies indicate that tumor suppressors and oncogenes are present at these intimate contacts between mitochondria and the ER, where they influence Ca2+ flux between mitochondria and the ER or affect lipid homeostasis at MAM, consequently impacting cell metabolism and cell fate. Understanding these fundamental roles of mitochondria-ER contact sites as important domains for tumor suppressors and oncogenes can support the search for new and more precise anticancer therapies. In the present review, we summarize the current understanding of basic MAM biology, composition and function and discuss the possible role of MAM-resident oncogenes and tumor suppressors.

Abstract
Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion (rI/R)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a major problem in rI/R. The objective of the current study was to explore the defensive roles of propofol (Pro), an intravenous anesthetic, on rI/R-induced ALI through mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling. Rats were divided into Sham, Pro (10 mg/kg), rI/R, rI/R + Pro (5 mg/kg), and rI/R + Pro (10 mg/kg) groups. Rats were treated with Pro at 1 h after rI/R treatment. Serum and lung tissues at 24 h after rI/R were collected to evaluate morphological changes and the expression of myeloperoxidase (MPO), inflammatory cytokines, and crucial proteins in the MAPK pathway. Pro attenuated the production of mediators, resulting in reduced levels of autophagy and apoptosis by restricting the MAPK pathway in rI/R-induced ALI model. Pro represses rI/R-induced pulmonary autophagy and apoptosis by decreasing the production of inflammatory molecules, and the effects of Pro are involved in the inhibition of the MAPK pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hypoxia leads to endothelial cell inflammation, apoptosis, and damage, which plays an important role in the complications associated with ischemic cardiovascular disease. As an oxidoreductase, p66Shc plays an important role in the regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apoptosis. Ketamine is widely used in clinics. This study was designed to assess the potential protective effect of ketamine against hypoxia-induced injury in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Moreover, we explored the potential mechanism by which ketamine protected against hypoxia-induced endothelial injury. METHODS The protective effects of ketamine against hypoxia-induced injury was assessed using cell viability and adhesion assays, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and western blotting. RESULTS Our data showed that hypoxia reduced HUVEC viability, increased the adhesion between HUVECs and monocytes, and upregulated the expression of endothelial adhesion molecules at the protein and mRNA levels. Moreover, hypoxia increased ROS accumulation and upregulated p66Shc expression. Furthermore, hypoxia downregulated sirt1 expression in HUVECs. Alternatively, ketamine was shown to reverse the hypoxia-mediated reduction of cell viability and increase in the adhesion between HUVECs and monocytes, ameliorate hypoxia-induced ROS accumulation, and suppress p66Shc expression. Moreover, EX527, a sirt1 inhibitor, reversed the protective effects of ketamine against the hypoxia-mediated reduction of cell viability and increase in adhesion between HUVECs and monocytes. CONCLUSION Ketamine reduces hypoxia-induced p66Shc expression and attenuates ROS accumulation via upregulating sirt1 in HUVECs, thus attenuating hypoxia-induced endothelial cell inflammation and apoptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the potential anti-tumoral properties of propofol in pancreatic cancer and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. METHODS The relative expression of ADAM metallopeptidase domain 8 (ADAM8) in response to hypoxia in Panc1 cells was analyzed by western blotting. The enzymatic activity was determined by fluorescence release from PEPDAB013 decomposition. Cell growth was measured via cell counting and cell viability was measured using CCK-8 kit. Cell migrative capacity was evaluated by transwell and adhesion assay. The relative abundance of angiogenesis-related markers including platelet-derived growth factor AA, angiogenin, endothelin-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. The anti-tumoral activity of propofol was investigated with Panc1-derived xenograft mice model. RESULTS ADAM8 was significantly induced by hypoxia and efficiently inhibited by co-treatment with propofol. Propofol suppressed proliferation and compromised viability of Panc1 cells. In addition, the migrative capacity was greatly inhibited by propofol dosage. Comprehensive profiling of angiogenesis-related markers demonstrated that propofol remarkably suppressed neovascularization response in Panc1 cells under hypoxia. We further uncovered that propofol administration via subcutaneous injection delayed xenograft tumor progression. CONCLUSION Propofol specifically inhibited ADAM8 expression and activation in response to hypoxia in pancreatic cancer, and held great value for therapeutic effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although protein phosphatases regulate multiple cellular functions, their modulation under hypoxia remains unclear. We investigated expression of the protein phosphatase system under normoxic/hypoxic conditions and the mechanism by which hypoxia alters protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Human cardiovascular cells were cultured in cell type specific media under normoxic or hypoxic conditions (1% O2 ). Effects on mRNA expression, phosphatase activity, post-translational modification, and involvement of hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) were assessed using RT-PCR, immunoblotting, an activity assay, and siRNA silencing. KEY RESULTS All components of the protein phosphatase system studied were expressed in each cell line. Hypoxia attenuated mRNA expression of the transcripts in a cell line- and time-dependent manner. In human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC) and AC16 cells, hypoxia decreased PP2Ac activity and mRNA expression without altering PP2Ac abundance. Hypoxia increased demethylated PP2Ac (DPP2Ac) and phosphatase methylesterase 1 (PME-1) abundance but decreased leucine carboxyl methyltransferase 1 (LCMT-1) abundance. HIF-1α siRNA prevented the hypoxia-mediated decrease in phosphatase activity and expression of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PPP2CA), independently of altering pPP2Ac, DPP2Ac, LCMT-1, or PME-1 abundance. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Cardiovascular cells express multiple components of the PP2A system. In HASMC and AC16 cells, hypoxia inhibits PP2A activity through HIF-1α-dependent and -independent mechanisms, with the latter being consistent with altered PP2A holoenzyme assembly. This indicates a complex inhibitory effect of hypoxia on the PP2A system, and highlights PP2A as a therapeutic target for diseases associated with dysregulated protein phosphorylation.

Abstract
Phosphoprotein phosphatases are of growing interest in the pathophysiology of many diseases and are often the neglected partner of protein kinases. One family member, PP2A, accounts for dephosphorylation of ~55-70% of all serine/threonine phosphosites. Interestingly, dysregulation of kinase signalling is a hallmark of many diseases in which an increase in oxidative stress is also noted. With this in mind, we assess the evidence to support oxidative stress-mediated regulation of the PP2A system In this article, we first present an overview of the PP2A system before providing an analysis of the regulation of PP2A by endogenous inhibitors, post translational modification, and miRNA. Next, a detailed critique of data implicating reactive oxygen species, ischaemia, ischaemia-reperfusion, and hypoxia in regulating the PP2A holoenzyme and associated regulators is presented. Finally, the pharmacological targeting of PP2A, its endogenous inhibitors, and enzymes responsible for its post-translational modification are covered. There is extensive evidence that oxidative stress modulates multiple components of the PP2A system, however, most of the data pertains to the catalytic subunit of PP2A. Irrespective of the underlying aetiology, free radical-mediated attenuation of PP2A activity is an emerging theme. However, in many instances, a dichotomy exists, which requires clarification and mechanistic insight. Nevertheless, this raises the possibility that pharmacological activation of PP2A, either through small molecule activators of PP2A or CIP2A/SET antagonists may be beneficial in modulating the cellular response to oxidative stress. A better understanding of which, will have wide ranging implications for cancer, heart disease and inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Accumulating evidence indicates that passive heat therapy (chronic use of hot tubs or saunas) has widespread physiological benefits, including enhanced resistance against novel stressors ('stress resistance'). Using a cell culture model to isolate the key stimuli that are likely to underlie physiological adaptation with heat therapy, we showed that both mild elevations in temperature (to 39°C) and exposure to serum from human subjects who have undergone 8 weeks of heat therapy (i.e. altered circulating factors) independently prevented oxidative and inflammatory stress associated with hypoxia-reoxygenation in cultured endothelial cells. Our results elucidate some of the mechanisms (i.e. direct effects of temperature vs. circulating factors) by which heat therapy seems to improve resistance against oxidative and inflammatory stress. Heat therapy may be a promising intervention for reducing cellular damage following ischaemic events, which has broad implications for patients with cardiovascular diseases and conditions characterized by 'chronic' ischaemia (e.g. peripheral artery disease, metabolic diseases, obesity). ABSTRACT Repeated exposure to passive heat stress ('heat therapy') has widespread physiological benefits, including cellular protection against novel stressors. Increased heat shock protein (HSP) expression and upregulation of circulating factors may impart this protection. We tested the isolated abilities of mild heat pretreatment and serum from human subjects (n = 10) who had undergone 8 weeks of heat therapy to protect against cellular stress following hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R), a model of ischaemic cardiovascular events. Cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells were incubated for 24 h at 37°C (control), 39°C (heat pretreatment) or 37°C with 10% serum collected before and after 8 weeks of passive heat therapy (four to five times per week to increase rectal temperature to ≥ 38.5°C for 60 min). Cells were then collected before and after incubation at 1% O2 for 16 h (hypoxia; 37°C), followed by 20% O2 for 4 h (reoxygenation; 37°C) and assessed for markers of cell stress. In control cells, H/R increased nuclear NF-κB p65 protein (i.e. activation) by 106 ± 38%, increased IL-6 release by 37 ± 8% and increased superoxide production by 272 ± 45%. Both heat pretreatment and exposure to heat therapy serum prevented H/R-induced NF-κB activation and attenuated superoxide production; by contrast, only exposure to serum attenuated IL-6 release. H/R also decreased cytoplasmic haemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) protein (known to suppress NF-κB), in control cells (-25 ± 8%), whereas HO-1 protein increased following H/R in cells pretreated with heat or serum-exposed, providing a possible mechanism of protection against H/R. These data indicate heat therapy is capable of imparting resistance against inflammatory and oxidative stress via direct heat and humoral factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induces oxidative stress and eventually leads to vascular injury. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the effect of melatonin on HUVECs injured by H/R and explore the underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A model of HUVECs under hypoxia/reoxygenation was established. Cell migration and adhesive ability was measured by wound healing and adhesion assays. Cell proliferation was measured by EdU assay. Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was evaluated by CM-H2DCFDA staining. Actin cytoskeleton rearrangement was examined by immunofluorescence. Western blotting analysis were used to analyze P38 and HSP27 phosphorylation levels. RESULTS H/R inhibited HUVEC proliferation, cell migratory and adhesive capacities, whereas melatonin (1~100 μM) inhibited these effects in a dose-dependent manner. Melatonin alone did not affect HUVEC viability, however, it inhibited the increase in ROS production and cytoskeleton disruption elicited by H/R, and it dose-dependently prevented H/R-induced upregulation of P38 and HSP27 phosphorylation. In addition, the ROS scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine markedly inhibited increased phosphorylation levels of P38 and HSP27 under H/R. CONCLUSIONS Melatonin may have a potential clinical effect in trials of H/R-induced vascular injury through its antioxidant property.

Lack of Contribution of p66shc and Its Mitochondrial Translocation to Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury and Cardioprotection by Ischemic Preconditioning. Front Physiol 2017; 8:733.

Abstract
Whereas high amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to cardiac damage following ischemia and reperfusion (IR), low amounts function as trigger molecules in the cardioprotection by ischemic preconditioning (IPC). The mitochondrial translocation and contribution of the hydrogen peroxide-generating protein p66shc in the cardioprotection by IPC is unclear yet. In the present study, we investigated the mitochondrial translocation of p66shc, addressed the impact of p66shc on ROS formation after IR, and characterized the role of p66shc in IR injury per se and in the cardioprotection by IPC. The amount of p66shc in subsarcolemmal (SSM) and interfibrillar mitochondria (IFM) isolated from wildtype mouse left ventricles (LV) was determined after 40 min normoxic perfusion and after 30 min ischemia and 10 min reperfusion without and with IPC. The p66shc content in SSM (in % of normoxic controls, n = 5) was 174 ± 16% (n = 6, p < 0.05) after IR, and was reduced to 128 ± 13% after IPC (n = 6, p = ns). In IFM, the amount of p66shc remained unchanged (IR: 81 ± 7%, n = 6; IPC: 110 ± 5%, n = 6, p = ns). IR induced an increase in ROS formation in SSM and IFM isolated from mouse wildtype LV, which was more pronounced in SSM than in IFM (1.18 ± 0.18 vs. 0.81 ± 0.16, n = 6, p < 0.05). In mitochondria from p66shc-knockout mice (p66shc-KO), the increase in ROS formation by IR was not different between SSM and IFM (0.90 ± 0.11 vs. 0.73 ± 0.08, n = 6, p = ns). Infarct size (in % of the left ventricle) was 51.7 ± 2.9% in wildtype and 59.7 ± 3.8% in p66shc-KO hearts in vitro and was significantly reduced to 35.8 ± 4.4% (wildtype) and 34.7 ± 5.6% (p66shc-KO) by IPC, respectively. In vivo, infarct size was 57.8 ± 2.9% following IR (n = 9) and was reduced to 40.3 ± 3.5% by IPC (n = 11, p < 0.05) in wildtype mice. In p66shc-knockout mice, infarct sizes were similar to those measured in wildtype animals (IR: 56.2 ± 4.3%, n = 11; IPC: 42.1 ± 3.9%, n = 13, p < 0.05). Taken together, the mitochondrial translocation of p66shc following IR and IPC differs between mitochondrial populations. However, similar infarct sizes after IR and preserved infarct size reductions by IPC in p66shc-KO mice suggest that p66shc-derived ROS are not involved in the cardioprotection by IPC nor do they contribute to IR injury per se.

Abstract
This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. An Expression of Concern for this article was previously published while an investigation was conducted (see related editorial: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113812). This retraction notice supersedes the Expression of Concern published earlier. Concern was raised about the reliability of the Transwell assay images shown in Figure 4A, which appear to contain similar features to those found in other publications, as detailed here: https://pubpeer.com/publications/FE1B7461C358F48E6838BF1622C291; and here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r0MyIYpagBc58BRF9c3luWNlCX8VUvUuPyYYXzxWvgY/edit#gid=262337249. An additional suspected image duplication within Figure 5A was also identified. The journal requested the corresponding author comment on these concerns and provide the associated raw data. The authors did not respond to this request and therefore the Editor-in-Chief decided to retract the article.

Abstract
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and propofol both exert hypotensive action and may affect hemostasis. We investigated the influence of quinapril and propofol on hemodynamics and hemostasis in renal-hypertensive rats with induced arterial thrombosis. Two-kidney, one clip hypertensive rats were treated with quinapril (3.0 mg/kg for 10 days), and then received propofol infusion (15 mg/kg/h) during ongoing arterial thrombosis. The hemodynamic and hemostatic parameters were assayed. Quinapril exerted a hypotensive effect increasing after propofol infusion. Quinapril showed an antithrombotic effect with the platelet adhesion reduction, fibrinolysis enhancement and oxidative stress reduction. Propofol did not influence thrombosis; however, it inhibited fibrinolysis and showed prooxidative action. The effect of propofol on fibrinolysis and oxidative stress was significantly lower in quinapril-pretreated rats. Mortality was increased among rats treated with both drugs together. Our study demonstrates that pretreatment with quinapril reduced the adverse effects of propofol on hemostasis. Unfortunately, co-administration of both drugs potentiated hypotension in rats, which corresponds to higher mortality.
