[PMID: 39104405 PMCID: PMC11298658 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.110462] [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: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal tumors. Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP2) mutations occur in human solid tumors, including CRC. However, the function and underlying mechanism in CRC have not been well characterized. We demonstrated that the SHP2D61Y and SHP2E76K mutations occurred in CRC tissues, and these mutations promoted CRC cell proliferation, migration/invasion, and reduced CDDP-induced cell apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, SHP2D61Y and SHP2E76K promote glycolysis by accelerating pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) nuclear translocation through mechanism beyond ERK activation. PKM2-IN-1 attenuates PKM2-dependent glycolysis and reduce glucose uptake, lactate production, and ATP levels promoted by SHP2D61Y and SHP2E76K in CRC cells. Furthermore, PKM2 upregulates heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK) expression and increases CRC cell proliferation and migration/invasion via regulating hnRNPK ubiquitination. These findings provide evidence that SHP2D61Y and SHP2E76K regulate CDDP-induced apoptosis, glucose metabolism, and CRC migration/invasion through PKM2 nuclear translocation and PKM2/hnRNPK signaling.

[PMID: 37460341 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2023.06.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer is a common digestive system cancer and one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide. Ataxin-3 (ATXN3) protein is a deubiquitinating enzyme implicated in the occurrence of diverse human cancers. The potential role of ATXN3 in pancreatic cancer still remains unclear. METHODS ATXN3 was screened from differentially-upregulated genes of GSE71989, GSE27890 and GSE40098 datasets. The mRNA and protein levels of ATXN3 was evaluated in pancreatic cancer samples and cell lines. Through the gain- and loss-of-function experiments, the effects of ATXN3 on cell proliferation, migration and invasion were evaluated using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining, wound healing and Transwell assays. Subsequently, the interaction between ATXN3 and HDAC6 was confirmed using double immunofluorescence staining, co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and proximity ligation assay (PLA). The underlying mechanism of ATXN3 was determined by knockdown of HDAC6 in ATXN3-upregulated pancreatic cancer cells. The function of ATXN3 in vivo was verified through xenograft assay. RESULTS High expression of ATXN3 was found in pancreatic cancer tissues. Increased ATXN3 expression dramatically promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. The malignant phenotypes were suppressed in ATXN3-silenced pancreatic cancer cells. ATXN3 was proved to interact with HDAC6 and regulate its degradation through deubiquitination. Downregulation of HDAC6 inhibited ATXN3-induced development of pancreatic cancer cells through regulating the expression of PCNA, vimentin and E-cadherin. ATXN3 facilitated tumor growth of pancreatic cancer and increased HDAC6 expression in vivo. CONCLUSIONS This study confirmed that ATXN3 facilitated malignant phenotypes of pancreatic cancer via reducing the ubiquitination of HDAC6.

Serotonin type-3 receptor antagonists selectively kill melanoma cells through classical apoptosis, microtubule depolymerisation, ERK activation, and NF-κB downregulation. Cell Biol Toxicol 2023; 39:1119-1135.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma is a highly metastatic tumour, resistant to treatment. Serotonin type-3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists, such as tropisetron and ondansetron, are well-tolerated antiemetic drugs commonly used to prevent nausea caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. We investigated the anticancer effects of these drugs on melanoma cancer cell lines WM-266-4 and B16F10 with or without paclitaxel. We constructed IC50 curves and performed Chou-Talalay analysis, using data obtained with the MTT assay. Flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy were used to examine characteristics of the cell cycle, cell death and cytoskeleton changes. Protein levels and activation were analysed by western blotting and molecular docking studies carried out. Data were analysed by one way ANOVA and post hoc testing. Ondansetron and tropisetron showed selective concentration-dependent cytotoxicity in melanoma cell lines WM-266-4 and B16F10. The effect in combination with paclitaxel was synergistic. The drugs did not cause cell cycle arrest but did promote characteristics of classical apoptosis, including accumulation of subG1 DNA, cleaved caspase-3, mitochondrial membrane permeability and phosphatidylserine exposure. As well, the cytosolic calcium level in the melanoma cells was enhanced, phosphorylated ERK1/2 induced and NF-κB inhibited. Finally, the formation of microtubules was shown to be impaired in melanoma cells treated with ondansetron or tropisetron. Docking studies were used to predict that these drugs could bind to the colchicine binding site on the tubulin molecule. Antiemetic drugs, already given in combination with chemotherapy, may enhance the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy, following successful delivery to the tumour site.

Inhibition of histone deacetylase 6 destabilizes ERK phosphorylation and suppresses cancer proliferation via modulation of the tubulin acetylation-GRP78 interaction. J Biomed Sci 2023; 30:4. [PMID: 36639650 PMCID: PMC9838051 DOI: 10.1186/s12929-023-00898-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide is lung cancer, and its clinical outcome and prognosis are still unsatisfactory. The understanding of potential molecular targets is necessary for clinical implications in precision diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), a major deacetylase enzyme, is a promising target for cancer therapy; however, the molecular mechanism regulating cancer pathogenesis is largely unknown. METHODS The clinical relevance of HDAC6 expression levels and their correlation with the overall survival rate were analyzed based on the TCGA and GEO databases. HDAC6 expression in clinical samples obtained from lung cancer tissues and patient-derived primary lung cancer cells was evaluated using qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis. The potential regulatory mechanism of HDAC6 was identified by proteomic analysis and validated by immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, microtubule sedimentation, and immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS) assays using a specific inhibitor of HDAC6, trichostatin A (TSA) and RNA interference to HDAC6 (siHDAC6). Lung cancer cell growth was assessed by an in vitro 2-dimensional (2D) cell proliferation assay and 3D tumor spheroid formation using patient-derived lung cancer cells. RESULTS HDAC6 was upregulated in lung cancer specimens and significantly correlated with poor prognosis. Inhibition of HDAC6 by TSA and siHDAC6 caused downregulation of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK), which was dependent on the tubulin acetylation status. Tubulin acetylation induced by TSA and siHDAC6 mediated the dissociation of p-ERK on microtubules, causing p-ERK destabilization. The proteomic analysis demonstrated that the molecular chaperone glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) was an important scaffolder required for p-ERK localization on microtubules, and this phenomenon was significantly inhibited by either TSA, siHDAC6, or siGRP78. In addition, suppression of HDAC6 strongly attenuated an in vitro 2D lung cancer cell growth and an in vitro 3D patient derived-lung cancer spheroid growth. CONCLUSIONS HDAC6 inhibition led to upregulate tubulin acetylation, causing GRP78-p-ERK dissociation from microtubules. As a result, p-ERK levels were decreased, and lung cancer cell growth was subsequently suppressed. This study reveals the intriguing role and molecular mechanism of HDAC6 as a tumor promoter, and its inhibition represents a promising approach for anticancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HDAC6, a structurally and functionally distinct member of the HDAC family, is an integral part of multiple cellular functions such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, senescence, DNA damage and genomic stability, all of which when deregulated contribute to carcinogenesis. Among several HDAC family members known so far, HDAC6 holds a unique position. It differs from the other HDAC family members not only in terms of its subcellular localization, but also in terms of its substrate repertoire and hence cellular functions. Recent findings have considerably expanded the research related to the substrate pool, biological functions and regulation of HDAC6. Studies in HDAC6 knockout mice highlighted the importance of HDAC6 as a cell survival player in stressful situations, making it an important anticancer target. There is ample evidence stressing the importance of HDAC6 as an anti-cancer synergistic partner of many chemotherapeutic drugs. HDAC6 inhibitors have been found to enhance the effectiveness of conventional chemotherapeutic drugs such as DNA damaging agents, proteasome inhibitors and microtubule inhibitors, thereby highlighting the importance of combination therapies involving HDAC6 inhibitors and other anti-cancer agents. CONCLUSIONS Here, we present a review on HDAC6 with emphasis on its role as a critical regulator of specific physiological cellular pathways which when deregulated contribute to tumorigenesis, thereby highlighting the importance of HDAC6 inhibitors as important anticancer agents alone and in combination with other chemotherapeutic drugs. We also discuss the synergistic anticancer effect of combination therapies of HDAC6 inhibitors with conventional chemotherapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Encoded by PTPN11, the SHP2 (Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2) is widely recognized as a carcinogenic phosphatase. As a promising anti-cancer drug target, SHP2 regulates many signaling pathways such as RAS-RAF-ERK, PI3K-AKT and JAK-STAT. Meanwhile, SHP2 plays a significant role in regulating immune cell function in the tumor microenvironment. Heretofore, five SHP2 allosteric inhibitors have been recruited in clinical studies for the treatment of cancer. Most recently, studies have proved the therapeutic potential of SHP2 inhibitor in overcoming drug resistance of kinase inhibitors and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) blockade. Herein, we review the structure, function and small molecular inhibitors of SHP2, and highlight recent progress in overcoming drug resistance using SHP2 inhibitor. We hope this review would facilitate the future clinical development of SHP2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Intra-tumoral heterogeneity presents a major obstacle to cancer therapeutics, including conventional chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies. Stochastic events such as mutations, chromosomal aberrations, and epigenetic dysregulation, as well as micro-environmental selection pressures related to nutrient and oxygen availability, immune infiltration, and immunoediting processes can drive immense phenotypic variability in tumor cells. Here, we discuss how histone deacetylase inhibitors, a prominent class of epigenetic drugs, can be leveraged to counter tumor heterogeneity. We examine their effects on cellular processes that contribute to heterogeneity and provide insights on their mechanisms of action that could assist in the development of future therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
The SH2 domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2) is a widely expressed protein tyrosine phosphatase, and it is proposed to act as an oncogenic protein. SHP2 is also engaged in drug resistance of a variety of cancers. However, the role of SHP2 in the proliferation and drug resistance of colon cancer cells remains elusive. In this work we determined the effect of SHP2 expression on colon cancer cell proliferation and resistance to oxaliplatin (L-OHP), a commonly used drug in the clinic. Our results show that knockdown of SHP2 decreased and overexpression of SHP2 increased the proliferation of SW480 cells, respectively. Knockdown of SHP2 increased, and overexpression of SHP2 decreased apoptosis of the cells. We selected oxaliplatin-resistant SW480(SW480/L-OHP) and HCT116(HCT116/L-OHP) cells and found that the SHP2 protein level was raised in these drug-resistant cells. The upregulated SHP2 contributed to oxaliplatin resistance of the cells, as knockdown of SHP2 decreased the IC50 of oxaliplatin and abated proliferation and survival of SW480/L-OHP and HCT116/L-OHP cells in the presence of oxaliplatin. Also, SW480/L-OHP and HCT116/L-OHP cells had increased phosphorylation of AKT and ERK. Inhibition of AKT, ERK, or SHP2 sensitized SW480/L-OHP and HCT116/L-OHP cells to oxaliplatin. Our results indicate that SHP2 contributes oxaliplatin resistance through AKT and ERK. These results also suggest that SHP2-targeting is a potential strategy for overcoming oxaliplatin resistance of colon cancer cells.

Abstract
Metastasis is the main cause of poor postoperative survival of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Cytoskeleton rearrangement is a key event in cancer metastasis. However, the significance of microtubule (MT), one of the core components of cytoskeleton, in this process is only beginning to be revealed. Here, we find that the MT dynamics regulator end-binding protein 2 (EB2) is highly expressed in HCC and predicts poor prognosis of HCC patients. Functional studies show that EB2 overexpression promotes HCC proliferation, invasion and metastasis in vitro and in vivo, while EB2 knockdown has opposite results. Mechanistically, EB2 mediates MTs destabilization, increases Src (Src proto-oncogene non-receptor tyrosine kinase) activity, and thus facilitates extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling activation, which could in turn promote EB2 expression in HCC, eventually resulting in enhanced HCC proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Furthermore, U0126, a specific ERK inhibitor, could effectively inhibit EB2-mediated HCC proliferation and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, EB2 coordinates MT cytoskeleton and intracellular signal transduction, forming an EB2-MT-ERK positive feedback loop, to facilitate HCC proliferation, invasion and metastasis. EB2 could serve as a promising prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for HCC; HCC patients with high EB2 expression may benefit from treatment with ERK inhibitors.

Abstract
Obscurin is a giant cytoskeletal protein with structural and regulatory roles encoded by the OBSCN gene. Recently, mutations in OBSCN were associated with the development of different forms of cardiomyopathies, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We previously reported that homozygous mice carrying the HCM-linked R4344Q obscurin mutation develop arrhythmia by 1-year of age under sedentary conditions characterized by increased heart rate, frequent incidents of premature ventricular contractions, and episodes of spontaneous ventricular tachycardia. In an effort to delineate the molecular mechanisms that contribute to the observed arrhythmic phenotype, we subjected protein lysates prepared from left ventricles of 1-year old R4344Q and wild-type mice to comparative proteomics analysis using tandem mass spectrometry; raw data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD017314. We found that the expression levels of proteins involved in cardiac function and disease, cytoskeletal organization, electropotential regulation, molecular transport and metabolism were significantly altered. Moreover, phospho-proteomic evaluation revealed changes in the phosphorylation profile of Ca2+ cycling proteins, including sAnk1.5, a major binding partner of obscurin localized in the sarcoplasmic reticulum; notably, this is the first report indicating that sAnk1 undergoes phosphorylation. Taken together, our findings implicate obscurin in diverse cellular processes within the myocardium, which is consistent with its multiple binding partners, localization in different subcellular compartments, and disease association.

Pseudophosphatase MK-STYX Alters Histone Deacetylase 6 Cytoplasmic Localization, Decreases Its Phosphorylation, and Increases Detyrosination of Tubulin. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20061455.

Abstract
The catalytically inactive mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase phosphatase, MK-STYX (MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) phosphoserine/threonine/tyrosine-binding protein) interacts with the stress granule nucleator G3BP-1 (Ras-GAP (GTPase-activating protein) SH3 (Src homology 3) domain-binding protein-1), and decreases stress granule (stalled mRNA) formation. Histone deacetylase isoform 6 (HDAC6) also binds G3BP-1 and serves as a major component of stress granules. The discovery that MK-STYX and HDAC6 both interact with G3BP-1 led us to investigate the effects of MK-STYX on HDAC6 dynamics. In control HEK/293 cells, HDAC6 was cytosolic, as expected, and formed aggregates under conditions of stress. In contrast, in cells overexpressing MK-STYX, HDAC6 was both nuclear and cytosolic and the number of stress-induced aggregates significantly decreased. Immunoblots showed that MK-STYX decreases HDAC6 serine phosphorylation, protein tyrosine phosphorylation, and lysine acetylation. HDAC6 is known to regulate microtubule dynamics to form aggregates. MK-STYX did not affect the organization of microtubules, but did affect their post-translational modification. Tubulin acetylation was increased in the presence of MK-STYX. In addition, the detyrosination of tubulin was significantly increased in the presence of MK-STYX. These findings show that MK-STYX decreases the number of HDAC6-containing aggregates and alters their localization, sustains microtubule acetylation, and increases detyrosination of microtubules, implicating MK-STYX as a signaling molecule in HDAC6 activity.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are master regulators of chromatin remodeling, acting as epigenetic regulators of gene expression. In the last decade, inhibition of HDACs has become a target for specific epigenetic modifications related to cancer development. Overexpression of HDAC has been observed in several hematologic malignancies. Therefore, the observation that HDACs might play a role in various hematologic malignancies has brought to the development of HDAC inhibitors as potential antitumor agents. Recently, the class IIb, HDAC6, has emerged as one potential selective HDACi. This isoenzyme represents an important pharmacological target for selective inhibition. Its selectivity may reduce the toxicity related to the off-target effects of pan-HDAC inhibitors. HDAC6 has also been studied in cancer especially for its ability to coordinate a variety of cellular processes that are important for cancer pathogenesis. HDAC6 has been reported to be overexpressed in lymphoid cells and its inhibition has demonstrated activity in preclinical and clinical study of lymphoproliferative disease. Various studies of HDAC6 inhibitors alone and in combination with other agents provide strong scientific rationale for the evaluation of these new agents in the clinical setting of hematological malignancies. In this review, we describe the HDACs, their inhibitors, and the recent advances of HDAC6 inhibitors, their mechanisms of action and role in lymphoproliferative disorders.

Abstract
Resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) results in tumor relapse and poor prognosis in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. TKI resistance caused by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations at T790M and c-Met amplification occurs through persistent activation of the MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. We therefore expected that dual inhibitors of both signaling pathways could overcome TKI resistance in lung adenocarcinoma. Here, dioscin was selected from a product library of Chinese naturally occurring compounds and overcame TKI resistance in EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma cells. Mechanistically, dioscin may down-regulate the expression of SH2 domain-containing phosphatase-2 (SHP2) at the transcription level by increasing p53 binding to the SHP2 promoter due to reactive oxygen species (ROS). Simultaneous inhibition of MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT activation via decreased SHP2 expression and its interaction with GAB1 may be responsible for dioscin-mediated TKI sensitivity. A higher unfavorable response to TKI therapy occurred more commonly in patients with high SHP2 mRNA expression than in patients with low SHP2 mRNA expression. Therefore, we suggest that dioscin may act as a dual inhibitor of the MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways to overcome TKI resistance via dysregulation of SHP2 expression in lung adenocarcinoma.

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) deacetylates extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1) and thereby stimulates ERK1 activity. J Biol Chem 2017; 293:1976-1993. [PMID: 29259132 DOI: 10.1074/jbc.m117.795955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2017] [Revised: 12/06/2017] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), a class IIb HDAC, plays an important role in many biological and pathological processes. Previously, we found that ERK1, a downstream kinase in the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, phosphorylates HDAC6, thereby increasing HDAC6-mediated deacetylation of α-tubulin. However, whether HDAC6 reciprocally modulates ERK1 activity is unknown. Here, we report that both ERK1 and -2 are acetylated and that HDAC6 promotes ERK1 activity via deacetylation. Briefly, we found that both ERK1 and -2 physically interact with HDAC6. Endogenous ERK1/2 acetylation levels increased upon treatment with a pan-HDAC inhibitor, an HDAC6-specific inhibitor, or depletion of HDAC6, suggesting that HDAC6 deacetylates ERK1/2. We also noted that the acetyltransferases CREB-binding protein and p300 both can acetylate ERK1/2. Acetylated ERK1 exhibits reduced enzymatic activity toward the transcription factor ELK1, a well-known ERK1 substrate. Furthermore, mass spectrometry analysis indicated Lys-72 as an acetylation site in the ERK1 N terminus, adjacent to Lys-71, which binds to ATP, suggesting that acetylation status of Lys-72 may affect ERK1 ATP binding. Interestingly, an acetylation-mimicking ERK1 mutant (K72Q) exhibited less phosphorylation than the WT enzyme and a deacetylation-mimicking mutant (K72R). Of note, the K72Q mutant displayed decreased enzymatic activity in an in vitro kinase assay and in a cellular luciferase assay compared with the WT and K72R mutant. Taken together, our findings suggest that HDAC6 stimulates ERK1 activity. Along with our previous report that ERK1 promotes HDAC6 activity, we propose that HDAC6 and ERK1 may form a positive feed-forward loop, which might play a role in cancer.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the leading cause of women death. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) are promising anti-cancer drug targets. However, it's still unclear the applicability of anti-HSP90 and anti-HDAC6 strategies in precision treatment of breast cancer. In current study, we found that triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, compared to T47D, an ERα+ breast cancer cell line, exhibited 7~40 times lower IC50 values, stronger cell cycle perturbation, increased cell apoptosis and stronger inhibition of cell migration upon 17-DMAG treatment, while T47D, compared to TNBC cells, expressed higher HDAC6 and showed stronger anti-cancer response upon treatment of Tubacin. Mechanically, 17-DMAG treatment inhibited a complex network consists at least ERK, AKT, and Hippo pathway in TNBC cells, and higher expression of HDAC6 inhibited HSP90 activity via deacetylating HSP90. Furthermore, we found higher HDAC6 expression level in tamoxifen-resistance T47D than that in T47D, and Tubacin treatment suppressed the growth of tamoxifen-resistant cells in vivo. Our data suggested that anti-HSP90 and anti-HDAC6 are promising strategies to treat TNBC and ERα+ breast cancers respectively, and anti-HDAC6 can be considered during treatment of tamoxifen-resistance breast cancers.

Abstract
Objective: Apoptosis and autophagy of retinal cells, which may be induced by oxidative stress, are tightly associated with the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The autophagy induced by oxidative stress is considered as excessively stimulated autophagy, which accelerates the progression of DR. This study aims to investigate the protective effect of GLP-1 treatment on alleviating apoptosis and autophagy of retinal cells in type 2 diabetic rats and reveals its possible mechanism. Methods: Type 2 diabetic rats were induced by fed with high sugar, high fat diet and followed with streptozotocin injection. GLP-1 was applied to treat the diabetic rats for one week after the onset of diabetes. The expressions of oxidative stress-related enzymes, retinal GLP-1R, mitochondria-dependent apoptosis- related genes, autophagy markers, and autophagy-associated pathway genes were studied by Western blotting or immunohistochemistry analysis. Results: GLP-1treatment reduced the levels of NOX3 and SOD2 in DR. The expression of BCL2 was increased, while the levels of caspase3 and LC3B were reduced through GLP-1 treatment in DR. GLP-1 treatment restored the GLP-1R expression and decreased the levels of phosphorylated AKT and phosphorylated ERK1/2, which was accompanied with the reduction of the HDAC6 levels in DR. Conclusions: GLP-1 treatment can alleviate autophagy which may be induced by oxidative stress; this protective effect is likely through GLP-1R-ERK1/2-HDAC6 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Regulation of Shp2, a tyrosine phosphatase, critically influences the development of various diseases. Its role in epithelial lumenogenesis is not clear. Here we show that oncogenic Shp2 dephosphorylates Tuba to decrease Cdc42 activation, leading to the abnormal multi-lumen formation of epithelial cells. HDAC6 suppression reverses oncogenic Shp2-induced multiple apical domains and spindle mis-orientation during division in cysts to acquire normal lumenogenesis. Intriguingly, Cdc42 activity is not restored in this rescued process. We present evidence that simultaneous reduction in myosin II and ERK1/2 activity by HDAC6 inhibition is responsible for the reversion. In HER2-positive breast cancer cells, Shp2 also mediates Cdc42 repression, and HDAC6 inhibition or co-suppression of ERK/myosin II promotes normal epithelial lumen phenotype without increasing Cdc42 activity. Our data suggest a mechanism of epithelial disorganization by Shp2 deregulation, and reveal the cellular context where HDAC6 suppression is capable of establishing normal epithelial lumenogenesis independent of Cdc42. Cdc42 activity is important for apical-basal epithelial polarity. Here, the authors show that Shp2 disrupts Cdc42 activation, and by reducing the expression of histone deactylase 6, restores epithelial lumen formation in a cdc42-independent manner.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase (HDAC)6 is a member of the class IIb HDAC family. This enzyme is zinc-dependent and mainly localized in the cytoplasm. HDAC6 is a unique isoenzyme with two functional catalytic domains and specific physiological roles. Indeed, HDAC6 deacetylates various substrates including α-tubulin and HSP90α, and is involved in protein trafficking and degradation, cell shape and migration. Consequently, deregulation of HDAC6 activity was associated to a variety of diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and pathological autoimmune response. Therefore, HDAC6 represents an interesting potential therapeutic target. In this review, we discuss structural features of this histone deacetylase, regulation of its expression and activity, biological functions, implication in human disease initiation and progression. Finally will describe novel and selective HDAC6 inhibitors.

SMIFH2 has effects on Formins and p53 that perturb the cell cytoskeleton. Sci Rep 2015; 5:9802.

Abstract
Formin proteins are key regulators of the cytoskeleton involved in developmental and homeostatic programs, and human disease. For these reasons, small molecules interfering with Formins' activity have gained increasing attention. Among them, small molecule inhibitor of Formin Homology 2 domains (SMIFH2) is often used as a pharmacological Formin blocker. Although SMIFH2 inhibits actin polymerization by Formins and affects the actin cytoskeleton, its cellular mechanism of action and target specificity remain unclear. Here we show that SMIFH2 induces remodelling of actin filaments, microtubules and the Golgi complex as a result of its effects on Formins and p53. We found that SMIFH2 triggers alternated depolymerization-repolymerization cycles of actin and tubulin, increases cell migration, causes scattering of the Golgi complex, and also cytotoxicity at high dose. Moreover, SMIFH2 reduces expression and activity of p53 through a post-transcriptional, proteasome-independent mechanism that influences remodelling of the cytoskeleton. As the action of SMIFH2 may go beyond Formin inhibition, only short-term and low-dose SMIFH2 treatments minimize confounding effects induced by loss of p53 and cytotoxicity.
