Ma H, Lou K, Shu Q, Song X, Xu H. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 deficiency reinforces formaldehyde-potentiated pro-inflammatory responses and glycolysis in macrophages. J Biochem Mol Toxicol 2024; 38:e23518. [PMID: 37638564 DOI: 10.1002/jbt.23518] [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: 11/03/2022] [Revised: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) deficiency caused by genetic variant is present in more than 560 million people of East Asian descent, which can be identified by apparent facial flushing from acetaldehyde accumulation after consuming alcohol. Recent findings indicated that ALDH2 also played a critical role in detoxification of formaldehyde (FA). Our previous studies showed that FA could enhance macrophagic inflammatory responses through the induction of HIF-1α-dependent glycolysis. In the present study, pro-inflammatory responses and glycolysis promoted by 0.5 mg/m3 FA were found in mice with Aldh2 gene knockout, which was confirmed in the primary macrophages isolated from Aldh2 gene knockout mice treated with 50 μM FA. FA at 50 and 100 μM also induced stronger dose-dependent increases of pro-inflammatory responses and glycolysis in RAW264.7 murine macrophages with knock-down of ALDH2, and the enhanced effects induced by 50 μM FA was alleviated by inhibition of HIF-1α in RAW264.7 macrophages with ALDH2 knock-down. Collectively, these results clearly demonstrated that ALDH2 deficiency reinforced pro-inflammatory responses and glycolysis in macrophages potentiated by environmentally relevant concentration of FA, which may increase the susceptibility to inflammation and immunotoxicity induced by environmental FA exposure.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (FA) exposure has been positively correlated with many diseases including various types of cancers. However, the mechanisms of FA-related carcinogenesis are still unclear. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most abundant immune cells in tumor microenvironment, which is a heterogeneous population consist of both pro-inflammatory (M1) and immunosuppressive (M2) cells. TAMs are deeply involved in tumor development and progression. Our previous studies demonstrated that FA enhanced M1 polarization of macrophages through induction of HIF-1α-mediated glycolysis. To examine if TAM polarizations are also potentiated by FA, BALB/c nude mice were inoculated with A549 cells to develop subcutaneous tumors and exposed to 2.0 mg/m3 FA for 14 days. Significant increases of both M1 and M2 polarizations of TAMs were observed in tumor tissues of FA-exposed mice. After confirmation of the potentiation effects in RAW264.7 and THP-1-derived in vitro TAM models, FA at 25 and 50 μM was found to enhance TAM immunosuppressive functions and glycolytic metabolism. In addition, FA-induced glycolysis in TAMs was reversed by a specific HIF-1α inhibitor PX-478 at 5 μM, and suppression of glycolytic metabolism with a glucose analog 2-DG at 1 mM also alleviated FA-potentiated TAM functions, which indicated that FA induced TAM polarizations through the upregulation of HIF-1α-mediated glycolysis. These results illustrated a potential carcinogenic mechanism of FA through metabolic disturbance of tumor immunity, which could be utilized to develop preventative or therapeutic agents for FA-induced carcinogenesis and immune disorders.

Abstract
Molecular manipulation of guanidino-containing biomolecules in a cellular environment is fundamental to exploiting protein function and drug release, but currently, there is a lack of suitable methods for reaction screening and monitoring. To exploit the potential of the fluorescent method in this respect, herein, we evaluated a novel array of 7-guanidinyl coumarins by incorporating different substituted guanidino moieties into a coumarin scaffold. These compounds were prepared by guanidinylation reagent S-methylisothiourea or TFA-protected pyrazole-carboxamidine. Examination of their photophysical properties revealed that the fluorescence emission of alkyloxycarbonyl-substituted guanidinyl coumarin was significantly enhanced as compared with the unsubstituted analogue. This dramatic fluorescence difference enabled preliminary exploitation of the Pd-catalyzed release of allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc)-caged guanidinyl coumarin-6 in living cells.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of the most common chronic neurodegenerative diseases, is characterized by memory impairment, synaptic dysfunction, and character mutations. The pathological features of AD are Aβ accumulation, tau protein enrichment, oxidative stress, and immune inflammation. Since the pathogenesis of AD is complicated and ambiguous, it is still challenging to achieve early detection and timely treatment of AD. Due to the unique physical, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of nanoparticles (NPs), nanotechnology has shown great potential for detecting and treating AD. This review provides an overview of the latest developments in AD detection via nanotechnology based on NPs with electrochemical sensing, optical sensing, and imaging techniques. Meanwhile, we highlight the important advances in nanotechnology-based AD treatment through targeting disease biomarkers, stem-cell therapy and immunotherapy. Furthermore, we summarize the current challenges and present a promising prospect for nanotechnology-based AD diagnosis and intervention.

Abstract
Exposure to formaldehyde (FA) has been indicated to be positively correlated with increased incidence of allergic asthma in many epidemiological and experimental studies. However, few studies have ever addressed the molecular basis of the correlation. In the present study, it was found that inhaling 2.0 mg/m3 FA for 2 weeks could exacerbate the pulmonary inflammation and mucus over-accumulation in OVA-induced murine asthmatic model. The pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8, were increased in lung and serum of FA-exposed asthmatic mice. The contribution of HIF-1α signaling in FA-exacerbated allergic asthma was confirmed by bioinformatic analysis. HIF-1α and its downstream proteins, which are known as mediators of glycolysis, were found to be upregulated by 50 μM FA, and the FA-enhanced of glycolysis was reversed by inhibition of HIF-1α with PX-478 in vitro and YC-1 in vivo. Furthermore, it was confirmed that inhibition of HIF-1α signaling could restrain the macrophagic inflammatory responses and asthma exacerbation induced by FA. Collectively, these results revealed that FA could exacerbate asthma through the potentiation of HIF-1α-mediated inflammatory responses in macrophages, which also indicated the universal roles of FA-triggered macrophage metabolic and functional alterations in inflammatory or allergic diseases.

Abstract
Myricetin is a flavonoid widely-distributed in foods with many beneficial health effects, which has been marketed in health products. Formaldehyde is an environmental carcinogen which can enhance the Warburg effect through the induction of human hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF-1α), the primary regulator of cellular glycolysis. HIF-1α was verified as an important target in lung and ovarian tumors, which was also identified as a receptor for myricetin via molecular docking. The reinforced HIF-1α signaling, the Warburg effect and T cell suppression induced by 50 μM formaldehyde in both A549 and Caov-3 cells were dose-dependently attenuated by myricetin from 20 to 100 μM, and the attenuative effects were diminished by the stabilization of HIF-1α with deferoxamine. Exposure to 2.0 mg/m3 formaldehyde also stimulated tumor growth and elevated HIF-1α expression in tumor tissues of A549 xenograft mice, which were also alleviated by oral administration of 100 mg/kg myricetin. These results demonstrated that myricetin alleviated formaldehyde-enhanced Warburg effect in tumor cells through HIF-1α inhibition, which could be further developed as a therapeutic or complementary agent for formaldehyde-induced carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (FA) is widely used in chemical industry, which is also known as a common indoor air pollutant. Exposure of FA has been associated with multiple detrimental health effects. Our previous study showed that FA could inhibit the development of T lymphocytes in mice, leading to impaired immune functions. Macrophages are important innate immune cells which trigger inflammatory responses in tissues. In the present study, FA exposure at 2.0 mg/m3 was found to enhance the pro-inflammatory responses of macrophages in male BALB/c mice, which was confirmed by elevated pro-inflammatory cytokine release and NO secretion in macrophages isolated from the FA-exposed mice and in vitro macrophage models upon lipopolysaccharide stimulation. Glycolysis is the key metabolic process for the classical activation of macrophages, which was found to be elevated in the in vitro macrophage models treated with FA at 50 and 100 μM concentrations for 18 h. HIF-1α and the associated proteins in its signaling cascade, which are known to mediate glycolytic metabolism and inflammatory responses, were found to be upregulated by 50 and 100 μM FA in THP-1 derived and RAW264.7 macrophage models, and the enhanced pro-inflammatory responses induced by 100 μM FA were reversed by inhibitory compounds interfering with glucose metabolism or suppressing HIF-1α activity. Collectively, the results in this study revealed that FA could enhance the pro-inflammatory responses of macrophages through the induction of glycolysis, which outlined the FA-triggered metabolic and functional alterations in immune cells.

Abstract
An "AND"-logic-gate-based fluorescent probe NAP-DCP-4 with dual reactive sites is reported, which has improved selectivity for methylglyoxal over glyoxal, featuring formaldehyde-enhanced methylglyoxal detection and irreversible and reversible turn-on fluorescence responses at different excitation wavelengths. Its cell-impermeability enables facile monitoring of extracellular methylglyoxal level changes in the supernatant of activated macrophages.
