Zhu X, Xu M, Millar SE. HDAC1/2 and HDAC3 play distinct roles in controlling adult Meibomian gland homeostasis. Ocul Surf 2024; 33:39-49. [PMID: 38679196 PMCID: PMC11179976 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtos.2024.04.005] [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: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the roles of HDAC1/2 and HDAC3 in adult Meibomian gland (MG) homeostasis. METHODS HDAC1/2 or HDAC3 were inducibly deleted in MG epithelial cells of adult mice. The morphology of MG was examined. Proliferation, apoptosis, and expression of MG acinus and duct marker genes, meibocyte differentiation genes, and HDAC target genes, were analyzed via immunofluorescence, TUNEL assay, and RNA in situ hybridization. RESULTS Co-deletion of HDAC1/2 in MG epithelium caused gradual loss of acini and formation of cyst-like structures in the central duct. These phenotypes required homozygous deletion of both HDAC1 and HDAC2, indicating that they function redundantly in the adult MG. Short-term deletion of HDAC1/2 in MG epithelium had little effect on meibocyte maturation but caused decreased proliferation of acinar basal cells, excessive DNA damage, ectopic apoptosis, and increased p53 acetylation and p16 expression in the MG. By contrast, HDAC3 deletion in MG epithelium caused dilation of central duct, atrophy of acini, defective meibocyte maturation, increased acinar basal cell proliferation, and ectopic apoptosis and DNA damage. Levels of p53 acetylation and p21 expression were elevated in HDAC3-deficient MGs, while the expression of the differentiation regulator PPARγ and the differentiation markers PLIN2 and FASN was downregulated. CONCLUSIONS HDAC1 and HDAC2 function redundantly in adult Meibomian gland epithelial progenitor cells and are essential for their proliferation and survival, but not for acinar differentiation, while HDAC3 is required to limit acinar progenitor cell proliferation and permit differentiation. HDAC1/2 and HDAC3 have partially overlapping roles in maintaining survival of MG cells.

Abstract
Dendritic cell (DC) progenitors adapt their transcriptional program during development, generating different subsets. How chromatin modifications modulate these processes is unclear. Here, we investigate the impact of histone deacetylation on DCs by genetically deleting histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) or HDAC2 in hematopoietic progenitors and CD11c-expressing cells. While HDAC2 is not critical for DC development, HDAC1 deletion impairs pro-pDC and mature pDC generation and affects ESAM+cDC2 differentiation from tDCs and pre-cDC2s, whereas cDC1s are unchanged. HDAC1 knockdown in human hematopoietic cells also impairs cDC2 development, highlighting its crucial role across species. Multi-omics analyses reveal that HDAC1 controls expression, chromatin accessibility, and histone acetylation of the transcription factors IRF4, IRF8, and SPIB required for efficient development of cDC2 subsets. Without HDAC1, DCs switch immunologically, enhancing tumor surveillance through increased cDC1 maturation and interleukin-12 production, driving T helper 1-mediated immunity and CD8+ T cell recruitment. Our study reveals the importance of histone acetylation in DC development and anti-tumor immunity, suggesting DC-targeted therapeutic strategies for immuno-oncology.

Abstract
Alveolar macrophages (AMs) seed in lung during embryogenesis and become mature in perinatal period. Establishment of acclimatization to environmental challenges is important, whereas the detailed mechanisms that drive metabolic adaptation of AMs remains to be elucidated. Here, we showed that energy metabolism of AMs was transformed from glycolysis prenatally to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) postnatally accompanied by up-regulated expression of mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM). TFAM deficiency disturbed mitochondrial stability and decreased OXPHOS, which finally impaired AM maintenance and function, but not AM embryonic development. Mechanistically, Tfam-deletion resulted in impaired mitochondrial respiration and decreased ATP production, which triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress to cause B cell lymphoma 2 ovarian killer (BOK) accumulation and abnormal distribution of intracellular Ca2+, eventually led to induce AM apoptotic death. Thus, our data illustrated mitochondrial-dependent OXPHOS played a key role in orchestrating AM postnatal metabolic adaptation.

Abstract
A monolayer of endothelial cells (ECs) lines the lumen of blood vessels and, as such, provides a semi-selective barrier between the blood and the interstitial space. Compromise of the lung EC barrier due to inflammatory or toxic events may result in pulmonary edema, which is a cardinal feature of acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The EC functions are controlled, at least in part, via epigenetic mechanisms mediated by histone deacetylases (HDACs). Zinc-dependent HDACs represent the largest group of HDACs and are activated by Zn2+. Members of this HDAC group are involved in epigenetic regulation primarily by modifying the structure of chromatin upon removal of acetyl groups from histones. In addition, they can deacetylate many non-histone histone proteins, including those located in extranuclear compartments. Recently, the therapeutic potential of inhibiting zinc-dependent HDACs for EC barrier preservation has gained momentum. However, the role of specific HDAC subtypes in EC barrier regulation remains largely unknown. This review aims to provide an update on the role of zinc-dependent HDACs in endothelial dysfunction and its related diseases. We will broadly focus on biological contributions, signaling pathways and transcriptional roles of HDACs in endothelial pathobiology associated mainly with lung diseases, and we will discuss the potential of their inhibitors for lung injury prevention.

Abstract
As integral components of the immune microenvironment, tissue resident macrophages (TRMs) represent a self-renewing and long-lived cell population that plays crucial roles in maintaining homeostasis, promoting tissue remodeling after damage, defending against inflammation and even orchestrating cancer progression. However, the exact functions and roles of TRMs in cancer are not yet well understood. TRMs exhibit either pro-tumorigenic or anti-tumorigenic effects by engaging in phagocytosis and secreting diverse cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors to modulate the adaptive immune system. The life-span, turnover kinetics and monocyte replenishment of TRMs vary among different organs, adding to the complexity and controversial findings in TRMs studies. Considering the complexity of tissue associated macrophage origin, macrophages targeting strategy of each ontogeny should be carefully evaluated. Consequently, acquiring a comprehensive understanding of TRMs' origin, function, homeostasis, characteristics, and their roles in cancer for each specific organ holds significant research value. In this review, we aim to provide an outline of homeostasis and characteristics of resident macrophages in the lung, liver, brain, skin and intestinal, as well as their roles in modulating primary and metastatic cancer, which may inform and serve the future design of targeted therapies.

Abstract
Single-cell genomic technologies hold great potential to advance our understanding of lung development and disease. A major limitation lies in accessing intact cells from primary lung tissues for profiling human airway health. Sampling methods such as endotracheal aspiration that are compatible with clinical interventions could enable longitudinal studies, the enrollment of large cohorts, and the development of novel diagnostics. To explore single-cell RNA sequencing profiling of the cell types present at birth in the airway lumen of extremely premature neonates (<28 wk gestation), we isolated cells from endotracheal aspirates collected from intubated neonates within the first hour after birth. We generated data on 10 subjects, providing a rich view of airway luminal biology at a critical developmental period. Our results show that cells present in the airways of premature neonates primarily represent a continuum of myeloid differentiation, including fetal monocytes (25% of total), intermediate myeloid populations (48%), and macrophages (2.6%). Applying trajectory analysis to the myeloid populations, we identified two trajectories consistent with the developmental stages of interstitial and alveolar macrophages, as well as a third trajectory presenting an alternative pathway bridging the distinct macrophage precursors. The three trajectories share many dynamic genes (N = 5,451), but also have distinct transcriptional changes (259 alveolar-specific, 666 interstitial-specific, and 285 bridging-specific). Overall, our results define cells isolated within the so-called "golden hour of birth" in extremely premature neonate airways, representing complex lung biology, and can be used in studies of human development and disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histone acetylation (HA) is an important and common epigenetic pathway, which could be hijacked by tumor cells during carcinogenesis and cancer progression. However, the important role of HA across human cancers remains elusive. METHODS In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis at multiple levels, aiming to systematically describe the molecular characteristics and clinical relevance of HA regulators in more than 10000 tumor samples representing 33 cancer types. RESULTS We found a highly heterogeneous genetic alteration landscape of HA regulators across different human cancer types. CNV alteration may be one of the major mechanisms leading to the expression perturbations in HA regulators. Furthermore, expression perturbations of HA regulators correlated with the activity of multiple hallmark oncogenic pathways. HA regulators were found to be potentially useful for the prognostic stratification of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). Additionally, we identified HDAC3 as a potential oncogene in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). CONCLUSION Overall, our results highlights the importance of HA regulators in cancer development, which may contribute to the development of clinical strategies for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Activated inflammation and pyroptosis in macrophage are closely associated with acute lung injury (ALI). Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) serves as an important enzyme that could repress gene expression by mediating chromatin remodeling. In this study, we found that HDAC3 was highly expressed in lung tissues of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated mice. Lung tissues from macrophage HDAC3-deficient mice stimulated with LPS showed alleviative lung pathological injury and inflammatory response. HDAC3 silencing significantly blocked the activation of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway in LPS-induced macrophage. LPS could recruit HDAC3 and H3K9Ac to the miR-4767 gene promoter, which repressed the expression of miR-4767 to promote the expression of cGAS. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that HDAC3 played a pivotal role in mediating pyroptosis in macrophage and ALI by activating cGAS/STING pathway through its histone deacetylation function. Targeting HDAC3 in macrophage may provide a new therapeutic target for the prevention of LPS-induced ALI.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI), caused by intrapulmonary or extrapulmonary factors such as pneumonia, shock, and sepsis, eventually disrupts the alveolar-capillary barrier, resulting in diffuse pulmonary oedema and microatasis, manifested by refractory hypoxemia, and respiratory distress. Not only is ALI highly lethal, but even if a patient survives, there are also multiple sequelae. Currently, there is no better treatment than supportive care, and we urgently need to find new targets to improve ALI. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are epigenetically important enzymes that, together with histone acetylases (HATs), regulate the acetylation levels of histones and non-histones. While HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) play a therapeutic role in cancer, inflammatory, and neurodegenerative diseases, there is also a large body of evidence suggesting the potential of HDACs as therapeutic targets in ALI. This review explores the unique mechanisms of HDACs in different cell types of ALI, including macrophages, pulmonary vascular endothelial cells (VECs), alveolar epithelial cells (AECs), and neutrophils.

Abstract
HDAC3 is a specific and crucial member of the HDAC family. It is required for embryonic growth, development, and physiological function. The regulation of oxidative stress is an important factor in intracellular homeostasis and signal transduction. Currently, HDAC3 has been found to regulate several oxidative stress-related processes and molecules dependent on its deacetylase and non-enzymatic activities. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the knowledge of the relationship of HDAC3 with mitochondria function and metabolism, ROS-produced enzymes, antioxidant enzymes, and oxidative stress-associated transcription factors. We also discuss the role of HDAC3 and its inhibitors in some chronic cardiovascular, kidney, and neurodegenerative diseases. Due to the simultaneous existence of enzyme activity and non-enzyme activity, HDAC3 and the development of its selective inhibitors still need further exploration in the future.

Abstract
The respiratory system is a well-organized multicellular organ, and disruption of cellular homeostasis or abnormal tissue repair caused by genetic deficiency and exposure to risk factors lead to life-threatening pulmonary disease including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Although there is no clear etiology as the name reflected, its pathological progress is closely related to uncoordinated cellular and molecular signals. Here, we review the advances in our understanding of the role of lung tissue cells in IPF pathology including epithelial cells, mesenchymal stem cells, fibroblasts, immune cells, and endothelial cells. These advances summarize the role of various cell components and signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which is helpful to further study the pathological mechanism of the disease, provide new opportunities for disease prevention and treatment, and is expected to improve the survival rate and quality of life of patients.

Abstract
Maternal stress has been associated with poor birth outcomes, including preterm birth, infant mortality, and low birth weight. Bone development disorders in the embryo as a result of maternal stress are believed to be mediated through oxidative stress damage. Various species of free radicals, such as alkoxyl radicals, can be formed through endogenous redox response or exogenous stimuli in the womb and transmitted to embryos. Yet, whether these free radicals lead to abnormal fetal bone development is unclear. Here, we demonstrate prenatal bone growth retardation and ferroptosis-related signals of chondrocytes were induced by classic alkoxyl radical generators. We also show that alkoxyl radicals lead to significant accumulation of oxidized phospholipids in chondrocytes, through the iron-mediated Fenton reaction in embryos. We further demonstrate a role for the lipid peroxidation end product, 4-HNE, which forms adducts with the pivotal chondrogenesis transcription factor SOX9, leading to its degradation, therefore dampening chondrogenesis. Our data define a critical role for phospholipid peroxidation in alkoxyl radicals-evoked abnormal chondrogenesis, and pinpoint it being a precise target for treating oxidative stress-related bone development disorders.

Abstract
Human lung organoids (hLOs) are useful for disease modelling and drug screening. However, a lack of immune cells in hLOs limits the recapitulation of in vivo cellular physiology. Here, we generated hLOs containing alveolar macrophage (AMφ)–like cells derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSC). To bridge hLOs with advanced human lung high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT), we acquired quantitative micro-CT images. Three hLO types were observed during differentiation. Among them, alveolar hLOs highly expressed not only lung epithelial cell markers but also AMφ-specific markers. Furthermore, CD68+ AMφ-like cells were spatially organized on the luminal epithelial surface of alveolar hLOs. Bleomycin-treated alveolar hLOs showed upregulated expression of fibrosis-related markers and extracellular matrix deposits in the alveolar sacs. Alveolar hLOs also showed structural alterations such as excessive tissue fraction under bleomycin treatment. Therefore, we suggest that micro-CT analyzable PSC-derived alveolar hLOs are a promising in vitro model to predict lung toxicity manifestations, including fibrosis.

Abstract
Development and progression of many kidney diseases are substantially influenced by aberrant protein acetylation modifications of gene expression crucial for kidney functions. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) expression alterations are detected from renal samples of patients and animal models of various kidney diseases, and the administrations of HDAC inhibitors display impressive renal protective effects in vitro and in vivo. However, when the expression alterations of multiple HDACs occur, not all the HDACs causally affect the disease onset or progression. Identification of a single HDAC as a disease-causing factor will allow subtype-targeted intervention with less side effect. HDAC3 is a unique HDAC with distinct structural and subcellular distribution features and co-repressor dependency. HDAC3 is required for kidney development and its aberrations actively participate in many pathological processes, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders, and contribute significantly to the pathogenesis of kidney diseases. This review will discuss the recent studies that investigate the critical roles of HDAC3 aberrations in kidney development, renal aging, renal cell carcinoma, renal fibrosis, chronic kidney disease, polycystic kidney disease, glomerular podocyte injury, and diabetic nephropathy. These studies reveal the distinct characters of HDAC3 aberrations that act on different molecules/signaling pathways under various renal pathological conditions, which might shed lights into the epigenetic mechanisms of renal diseases and the potentially therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Macrophages are a heterogeneous population of myeloid cells with phenotype and function modulated according to the microenvironment in which they are found. The lung resident macrophages known as Alveolar Macrophages (AM) and Interstitial Macrophages (IM) are localized in two different compartments. During lung homeostasis, macrophages can remove inhaled particulates, cellular debris and contribute to some metabolic processes. Macrophages may assume a pro-inflammatory phenotype after being classically activated (M1) or anti-inflammatory when being alternatively activated (M2). M1 and M2 have different transcription profiles and act by eliminating bacteria, viruses and fungi from the host or repairing the damage triggered by inflammation, respectively. Nevertheless, macrophages also may contribute to lung damage during persistent inflammation or continuous exposure to antigens. In this review, we discuss the origin and function of pulmonary macrophages in the context of homeostasis, infectious and non-infectious lung diseases.

Abstract
Lung macrophages play important roles in the maintenance of homeostasis, pathogen clearance and immune regulation. The different types of pulmonary macrophages and their roles in lung diseases have attracted attention in recent years. Alveolar macrophages (AMs), including tissue-resident alveolar macrophages (TR-AMs) and monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages (Mo-AMs), as well as interstitial macrophages (IMs) are the major macrophage populations in the lung and have unique characteristics in both steady-state conditions and disease states. The different characteristics of these three types of macrophages determine the different roles they play in the development of disease. Therefore, it is important to fully understand the similarities and differences among these three types of macrophages for the study of lung diseases. In this review, we will discuss the physiological characteristics and unique functions of these three types of macrophages in acute and chronic lung diseases. We will also discuss possible methods to target macrophages in lung diseases.

Abstract
Clinically, intrauterine hypoxia is the foremost cause of perinatal morbidity and developmental plasticity in the fetus and newborn infant. Under hypoxia, deviations occur in the lung cell epigenome. Epigenetic mechanisms (e.g., DNA methylation, histone modification, and miRNA expression) control phenotypic programming and are associated with physiological responses and the risk of developmental disorders, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia. This developmental disorder is the most frequent chronic pulmonary complication in preterm labor. The pathogenesis of this disease involves many factors, including aberrant oxygen conditions and mechanical ventilation-mediated lung injury, infection/inflammation, and epigenetic/genetic risk factors. This review is focused on various aspects related to intrauterine hypoxia and epigenetic programming in lung development and disease, summarizes our current knowledge of hypoxia-induced epigenetic programming and discusses potential therapeutic interventions for lung disease.

Abstract
Fibrosis progression in the lung commonly results in impaired functional gas exchange, respiratory failure, or even death. In addition to the aberrant activation and differentiation of lung fibroblasts, persistent alveolar injury and incomplete repair are the driving factors of lung fibrotic response. Macrophages are activated and polarized in response to lipopolysaccharide- or bleomycin-induced lung injury. The classically activated macrophage (M1) and alternatively activated macrophage (M2) have been extensively investigated in lung injury, repair, and fibrosis. In the present review, we summarized the current data on monocyte-derived macrophages that are recruited to the lung, as well as alveolar resident macrophages and their polarization, pyroptosis, and phagocytosis in acute lung injury (ALI). Additionally, we described how macrophages interact with lung epithelial cells during lung repair. Finally, we emphasized the role of macrophage polarization in the pulmonary fibrotic response, and elucidated the potential benefits of targeting macrophage in alleviating pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
In the past few years, the paramount role of cancer stem cells (CSCs), in terms of cancer initiation, proliferation, metastasis, invasion and chemoresistance, has been revealed by accumulating studies. However, this level of cellular plasticity cannot be entirely explained by genetic mutations. Research on epigenetic modifications as a complementary explanation for the properties of CSCs has been increasing over the past several years. Notably, therapeutic strategies are currently being developed in an effort to reverse aberrant epigenetic alterations using specific chemical inhibitors. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of CSCs and their role in cancer progression, and provide an overview of epigenetic alterations seen in CSCs. Importantly, we focus on primary cancer therapies that target the epigenetic modification of CSCs by the use of specific chemical inhibitors, such as histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitors and microRNA‐based (miRNA‐based) therapeutics.
