Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase 8 (CA8), an isozyme of α-carbonic anhydrases, lacks the ability to catalyze the reversible hydration of CO2 to bicarbonate and proton. Previous studies have shown that single point mutations of CA8, CA8-S100P, and CA8-G162R, are associated with novel syndromes including congenital ataxia and mild cognitive impairment. Our previous results demonstrated that overexpression of wild type (WT) CA8 promoted cell proliferation, neurite outgrowth, anti-apoptosis, invasion and migration abilities in neuronal cells. In this study, we examined the expressions and functions of CA8-S100P and CA8-G162R in neuroblastoma cells lines, compared with those of WT CA8. Our results show that the protein expressions of mutant CA8-S100P and CA8-G162R were significantly decreased in Neuro-2a and SK-N-SH cells. Interestingly, CA8-S100P demonstrated a significant increase in cell proliferation in both Neuro-2a and SK-N-SH cells. However, both CA8 mutations showed significantly decreased effects on cell protection and migration in SK-N-SH cells. Surprisingly, a significant increase of invasive ability was observed in SK-N-SH cells with overexpression of CA8-S100P as compared with those with overexpression of WT CA8 under retinoic acid (RA) treatment. In addition, we found that Neuro-2a cells with overexpression of CA8-S100P and CA8-G162R showed significantly increased neurite outgrowth. Taken together, our data suggest that the expressions of CA8-S100P and CA8-G162R in neuronal cells alter cell morphology, proliferation, mobility and viability; indicating that the homozygous point mutations of CA8 lead to not only the loss of WT CA8 function, but also the gain of novel functions leading to neuromuscular dysfunction.

Abstract
mtDNA variations often result in bioenergetic dysfunction inducing a metabolic switch toward glycolysis resulting in an unbalanced pH homeostasis. In hypoxic cells, expression of the tumor-associated carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) is enhanced to maintain cellular pH homeostasis. We hypothesized that cells with a dysfunctional oxidative phosphorylation machinery display elevated CAIX expression levels. Increased glycolysis was observed for cytoplasmic 143B mutant hybrid (m.3243A>G, >94.5%) cells (p < 0.05) and 143B mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depleted cells (p < 0.05). Upon hypoxia (0.2%, 16 h), genetic or pharmacological oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) inhibition resulted in decreased CAIX (p < 0.05), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) expression levels. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and prolyl-hydroxylase 2 (PHD2) levels could not explain these observations. In vivo, tumor take (>500 mm3) took longer for mutant hybrid xenografts, but growth rates were comparable with control tumors upon establishment. Previously, it has been shown that HIF-1α is responsible for tumor establishment. In agreement, we found that HIF-1α expression levels and the pimonidazole-positive hypoxic fraction were reduced for the mutant hybrid xenografts. Our results demonstrate that OXPHOS dysfunction leads to a decreased HIF-1α stabilization and subsequently to a reduced expression of its downstream targets and hypoxic fraction in vivo. In contrast, hypoxia-inducible factor 2-alpha (HIF-2α) expression levels in these xenografts were enhanced. Inhibition of mitochondrial function is therefore an interesting approach to increase therapeutic efficacy in hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathies are a group of disorders affecting skeletal muscles and brain. Although the symptoms vary among these disorders, mitochondrial DNA mutation or loss is the common characteristic. The abnormality of mitochondrial genome usually causes the dysfunction of mitochondrial respiratory and even mitochondrial damage. As a critical way of degradation, attention has been paid to the involvement of autophagy in encephalomyopathies. Autophagy is found activated in these encephalomyopathies-relevant cells as a compensatory manner to eliminate these damaged and dysfunctional mitochondria. However, accumulating evidences indicate that autophagy is incompetent to clear them. The insufficient mitophagy may ultimately accelerate cell death. Here we discuss the involvement of autophagy in encephalomyopathies based on the current evidence. We further look into the future to rescue encephalomyopathies by regulating autophagy. Only five encephalomyopathies are included in this chapter due to the availability of evidence. Nevertheless, these encephalomyopathies share a variety of common features and autophagy may also be regulated in the other encephalomyopathies.

Abstract
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are not as successful in the case of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) although some targeted drugs were approved for RCC therapy recently. Analysis of whole genomic data will lead to improvements in understanding RCC and identifying novel anticancer targets. Here, we found the differential mRNA expression and copy number variation (CNV) of Carbonic anhydrase-related protein VIII (CA8) gene in RCC through integrated bioinformatics analysis of TCGA database, which was confirmed in 5 cases of samples collected from RCC patients who underwent radical nephrectomy by analysis of CA8 mRNA and protein levels using RT-PCR immunohistochemical assay. However, we got a completely opposite result that CA8 promoted RCC progression, those are CA8 overexpression promoted the proliferative and migratory ability of Caki-1 and 769-P cells in vitro as determined with MTT and transwell assay, and CA8 overexpression could also promote Caki-1 xenograft growth in BALB/C‑nu/nu mice. On the contrary, CA8-knockdown reduced Caki-1 and 769-P cell proliferation and migration. Moreover, knockdown of CA8 decreased pAKT and MMP2 protein levels in Caki-1 cells while overexpressing CA8 increased pAKT and MMP2. In conclusion, we showed that CA8 promoted RCC cell proliferation and migration, but it was down-regulated in RCC, which requires an additional mechanism study.

Abstract
Machado-Joseph disease (MJD)/Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease that can lead to a regression of motor coordination and muscle control in the extremities. It is known that expansion of CAG repeats encodes abnormally long polyQ in mutant ataxin-3, the disease protein. It is also noted that mutant ataxin-3 interacts with 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (IP3R1) and induces abnormal Ca2+ release. Previously, we have shown a significant increase in the expression of carbonic anhydrase VIII (CA8) in SK-N-SH-MJD78 cells, which are human neuroblastoma cells overexpressing mutant ataxin-3 with 78 glutamine repeats. In the current study, we showed the presence of significantly increased CA8 expression in MJD mouse cerebellum in either early or late disease stage, with a gradual decrease in CA8 expression as the MJD mice naturally aged. By immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation analysis, we also found that CA8 co-localized and interacted with mutant ataxin-3 in SK-N-SH-MJD78 cells harboring overexpressed CA8 (SK-MJD78-CA8). In addition, we found that SK-MJD78-CA8 cells, as well as cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) of MJD transgenic (Tg) mouse with overexpressed CA8, were more resistant to reactive oxygen species (ROS) stress than the control cells. Importantly, overexpression of CA8 in SK-MJD78-CA8 cells and in MJD CGNs rescued abnormal Ca2+ release and caused an increase in cell survival. In summary, we demonstrate the protective function of CA8 in MJD disease models and speculate that the declining expression of CA8 following an initial increased expression may be related to the late onset phenomenon of MJD.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase 8 (CA8), a member of the carbonic anhydrase family, is one of the three isozymes that do not catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide due to the lack of one important histidine. In the present study, we observed increased expression of CA8 in more aggressive types of human osteosarcoma (OS) cells and found that CA8 expression is correlated with disease stages, such that more intense expression occurs in the disease late stage. We also demonstrated that overexpression of CA8 in human OS (HOS) cells significantly increased cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. Downregulated CA8 sensitized cells to apoptotic stress induced by staurosporine and cisplatin, suggesting a specific role of CA8 to protect cells from stresses. In addition, downregulation of CA8 in HOS cells reduced cell invasion and colony formation ability in soft agar and further decreased matrix metalloproteinase 9 and focal adhesion kinase expression, indicating that CA8 might facilitate cancer cell invasion via the activation of FAK-MMP9 signaling. Interestingly, HOS cells with CA8 knockdown showed a significant decrease in glycolytic activity and cell death under glucose withdrawal, further indicating that CA8 may be involved in regulating aerobic glycolysis and enhancing cell viability. Knockdown of CA8 significantly decreased phosphorylated Akt expression suggesting that the oncogenic role of CA8 may be mediated by the regulation of Akt activation through p-Akt induction. Importantly, the inhibition of glycolysis by 2-deoxyglucose sensitized CA8 HOS-CA8-myc cells to cisplatin treatment under low glucose condition, highlighting a new therapeutic option for OS cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbonic anhydrase 8 (CA8) is an isozyme of α-carbonic anhydrases (CAs). Previous studies showed that CA8 can be detected in human adult brain, with more intense expression in the cerebellum. Single mutations in CA8 were reported to cause novel syndromes like ataxia, mild mental retardation or the predisposition to quadrupedal gait. METHODS In the present study, we examine the functions of CA8 in neuronal cell lines, mouse cerebellar granule neurons and zebrafish. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that overexpression of CA8 in neuronal cells significantly decreased cell death under staurosporine treatment. Moreover, CA8 overexpression significantly increased cell migration and invasion ability in neuronal cells and in mouse cerebellar granule neurons, implicating that CA8 may be involved in neuron motility and oncogenesis. By using zebrafish as an animal model, motor reflection of 3dpf zebrafish embryos was significantly affected after the down-regulation of CA8 through ca8 morpholino. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that CA8 overexpression desensitizes neuronal cells to STS induced apoptotic stress and increases cell migration and invasion ability in neuronal cells. In addition, down-regulated CA8 decreases neuron mobility in neuronal cells and leads to abnormal calcium release in cerebellar granule neurons. Knockdown of the ca8 gene results in an abnormal movement pattern in zebrafish. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Our findings provide evidence to support that the impaired protective function of CA8 contributes to human neuropathology, and to suggest that zebrafish can be used as an animal model to study the biological functions of human CA8 in vivo.
