Abstract
Viruses are obligate intracellular pathogens as their replication depends on the metabolism of the host cell. The induction of cellular suicide, known as programmed cell death (PCD), has the potential to hinder viral replication and act as a first line of defense against viral pathogens. Apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis are three important PCD modalities. Different signaling pathways are involved in their execution, and they also differ in their ability to cause inflammation. Cytomegaloviruses (CMV), beta-herpesviruses with large double-stranded DNA genomes, encode a great variety of immune evasion genes, including several cell death suppressors. While CMV inhibitors of apoptosis and necroptosis have been known and studied for years, the first pyroptosis inhibitor has been identified and characterized only recently. Here, we describe how human and murine CMV interfere with apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis signaling pathways. We also discuss the importance of the different PCD forms and their viral inhibitors for the containment of viral replication and spread in vivo.

Cui J, Qu Y, Ma J, Chen J, Zhao Y, Yu Z, Bao Z, Han Y, Liu Y, Huang B, Wang X. Molluscan pleiotropic FADD involved in innate immune signaling and induces apoptosis. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 275:133645. [PMID: 38964686 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 06/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) was initially identified as a crucial adaptor protein in the apoptotic pathway mediated by death receptor (DR). Subsequently, many studies have confirmed that FADD plays a vital role in innate immunity and inflammatory responses in animals. However, the function of this pleiotropic molecule in mollusk species has not been well explored. In this study, we successfully verified the gene sequence of FADD in the Zhikong scallop (Chlamys farreri) and designated it as CfFADD. The CfFADD protein contains a conserved death effector and death domains. Phylogenetic analysis showed that CfFADD is a novel addition to the molluscan FADD family with a close evolutionary relationship with molluscan FADD subfamily proteins. CfFADD mRNA expression in various scallop tissues was significantly induced by challenge with pathogen-associated molecular patterns (lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan, and poly(I:C)), suggesting its role in innate immunity in scallops. Co-immunoprecipitation showed that CfFADD interacted with the scallop DR (tumor necrosis factor receptor) and a signaling molecule involved in the Toll-like receptor pathway (interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase), confirming that CfFADD may be involved in DR-mediated apoptosis and innate immune signaling pathways. Further studies showed that CfFADD interacted with CfCaspase-8 and activated caspase-3. HEK293T cells exhibited distinct apoptotic features after transfection with a CfFADD-expression plasmid, suggesting a functional DR-FADD-caspase apoptotic pathway in scallops. Overexpression of CfFADD led to a significant dose-dependent activation of interferon β and nuclear factor-κB reporter genes, demonstrating the key role of CfFADD in innate immunity. In summary, our research has confirmed the critical roles of CfFADD in innate immunity and apoptosis and provides valuable information for developing comparative immunology theories.

Abstract
Achillea fragrantissima is a shrub plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family in Arabia and Egypt. It is used as folk medicine and is a good source of phenolic acids, flavonoids, and some active compounds. To investigate the anti-cancer effect of A.fragrantissima on breast cancer MCF-7 cells and find the critical mechanism involved in apoptosis. The toxicity and pharmacokinetic studies of ethanolic extract of A.fragrantissima was examined for anti-breast cancer properties. In turn, cytotoxicity and cell viability were achieved by the MTT method. Furthermore, the trypan blue exclusion and microscopy examination proved the presence of apoptotic cells. Again, fluorescent staining such as AO/EtBr, DCFH-DA, Rho-123, and Hoechst-33342 reveals the cellular cytoplasmic disciplines upon A. fragrantissima effect. Moreover, cellular functioning tests like wound healing, colony formation, and Transwell invasion assay were demonstrated. In addition, the qRT-PCR technique authenticates the A. fragrantissima -induced apoptotic network genes (Caspase-3, Caspase-8, Caspase-9, Cytochrome c, BCL-2, BID, BAX, PARP, PTEN, PI3K, and Akt) expression were evaluated. Mainly, the Immunoblot technique proved the expressed level of apoptotic proteins such as cleaved PARP, CYCS, and FADD. This study confirmed that the A. fragrantissima exerts cytotoxicity at 20 μg/mL for 24 hrs in MCF-7 cells. Also, decreases cellular viability, producing apoptotic cells and damaged cellular surfaces with dead matter. Consequently, it creates ROS species accumulation, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and fragmentation of DNA in MCF-7 cells. Furthermore, it arrests cell migration, induces colony-forming ability loss, and suppresses cell invasion. In addition, A. fragrantissima significantly upregulates genes such as caspase-3, 9, cytochrome c, BID, BAX, and PTEN while downregulating the Pi3K/ Akt signaling. Nonetheless, A.fragrantissima induced cleaved PARP, CYCS, and FADD proteins in MCF-7 cells to avail apoptosis.

Abstract
B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) family proteins are fundamental regulators of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway which modulate cellular fate. In many haematological malignancies, overexpression of anti-apoptotic factors (BCL-2, BCL-XL and MCL-1) circumvent apoptosis. To address this cancer hallmark, a concerted effort has been made to induce apoptosis by inhibiting BCL-2 family proteins. A series of highly selective BCL-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain mimetics are in clinical use and in ongoing clinical trials for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), and multiple myeloma (MM). These inhibitors serve as promising candidates, both as single agents or in combination therapy to improve patient outcomes. In other diseases such as follicular lymphoma, efficacy has been notably limited. There are also clinical problems with BCL-2 family inhibition, including drug resistance, disease relapse, tumour lysis syndrome, and clinically relevant cytopenias. Here, we provide a balanced view on both the clinical benefits of BCL-2 inhibition as well as the associated challenges.

Abstract
Controlled cell death is essential for the regulation of the immune system and plays a role in pathogen defense. It is often altered in pathogenic conditions such as cancer, viral infections and autoimmune diseases. The Fas receptor and its corresponding membrane-bound ligand (FasL) are part of the extrinsic apoptosis pathway activated in these cases. A soluble form of FasL (sFasL), produced by ectodomain shedding, displays a diverse but still elusive set of non-apoptotic functions and sometimes even serves as a pro-survival factor. To gather more knowledge about the characteristics of this protein and the impact N-glycosylations may have, access to homogeneous posttranslationally modified variants of sFasL is needed. Therefore, we developed a flexible strategy to obtain such homogeneously N-glycosylated variants of sFasL by applying chemical protein synthesis. This strategy can be flexibly combined with enzymatic methods to introduce more complex, site selective glycosylations.

Abstract
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL or Apo2 or TNFSF10) belongs to the TNF superfamily. When bound to its agonistic receptors, TRAIL can induce apoptosis in tumour cells, while sparing healthy cells. Over the last three decades, this tumour selectivity has prompted many studies aiming at evaluating the anti-tumoral potential of TRAIL or its derivatives. Although most of these attempts have failed, so far, novel formulations are still being evaluated. However, emerging evidence indicates that TRAIL can also trigger a non-canonical signal transduction pathway that is likely to be detrimental for its use in oncology. Likewise, an increasing number of studies suggest that in some circumstances TRAIL can induce, via Death receptor 5 (DR5), tumour cell motility, potentially leading to and contributing to tumour metastasis. While the pro-apoptotic signal transduction machinery of TRAIL is well known from a mechanistic point of view, that of the non-canonical pathway is less understood. In this study, we the current state of knowledge of TRAIL non-canonical signalling.

Abstract
Apoptosis, the first regulated form of cell death discovered in mammalian cells, is executed by caspase-3/7, which are dormant in living cells but become activated by upstream caspase-8 or caspase-9 in responding to extracellular cytokines or intracellular stress signals, respectively. The same cell death-inducing cytokines also cause necroptosis when caspase-8 is inhibited, resulting in the activation of receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), which phosphorylates pseudokinase MLKL to trigger its oligomerization and membrane-disrupting activity. Caspase-1/4/5/11, known as inflammatory caspases, instead induce pyroptosis by cleaving gasdermin D, whose caspase-cleaved N terminus forms pores on the plasma membrane. The membrane protein NINJ1 amplifies the extent of membrane rupture initiated by gasdermin D. Additionally, disturbance of peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acid tails of membrane phospholipids triggers ferroptosis, an iron-dependent and caspases-independent necrotic death. This review will discuss how these regulated cell death pathways act individually and interconnectively in particular cell types to carry out specific physiological and pathological functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is a noninfectious and nonmalignant lymphoproliferative disease frequently associated with autoimmune cytopenia resulting from defective FAS signaling. We previously described germline monoallelic FAS (TNFRSF6) haploinsufficient mutations associated with somatic events, such as loss of heterozygosity on the second allele of FAS, as a cause of ALPS-FAS. These somatic events were identified by sequencing FAS in DNA from double-negative (DN) T cells, the pathognomonic T-cell subset in ALPS, in which the somatic events accumulated. OBJECTIVE We sought to identify whether a somatic event affecting the FAS-associated death domain (FADD) gene could be related to the disease onset in 4 unrelated patients with ALPS carrying a germline monoallelic mutation of the FADD protein inherited from a healthy parent. METHODS We sequenced FADD and performed array-based comparative genomic hybridization using DNA from sorted CD4+ or DN T cells. RESULTS We found homozygous FADD mutations in the DN T cells from all 4 patients, which resulted from uniparental disomy. FADD deficiency caused by germline heterozygous FADD mutations associated with a somatic loss of heterozygosity was a phenocopy of ALPS-FAS without the more complex symptoms reported in patients with germline biallelic FADD mutations. CONCLUSIONS The association of germline and somatic events affecting the FADD gene is a new genetic cause of ALPS.

Abstract
We investigated the anticancer mechanism of a chloroform extract of marine sponge (Haliclona fascigera) (sample C) in human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cells. Viability analysis using MTT and neutral red uptake (NRU) assays showed that sample C exposure decreased the proliferation of cells. Flow cytometric data exhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), dysfunction of mitochondrial potential, and apoptosis in sample C-treated MCF-7 cells. A qPCR array of sample C-treated MCF-7 cells showed crosstalk between different pathways of apoptosis, especially BIRC5, BCL2L2, and TNFRSF1A genes. Immunofluorescence analysis affirmed the localization of p53, bax, bcl2, MAPKPK2, PARP-1, and caspase-3 proteins in exposed cells. Bioassay-guided fractionation of sample C revealed Neviotin A as the most active compound triggering maximum cell death in MCF-7, indicating its pharmacological potency for the development of a drug for the treatment of human breast cancer.

Abstract
Apoptosis is a form of regulated cell death (RCD) that involves proteases of the caspase family. Pharmacological and genetic strategies that experimentally inhibit or delay apoptosis in mammalian systems have elucidated the key contribution of this process not only to (post-)embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis, but also to the etiology of multiple human disorders. Consistent with this notion, while defects in the molecular machinery for apoptotic cell death impair organismal development and promote oncogenesis, the unwarranted activation of apoptosis promotes cell loss and tissue damage in the context of various neurological, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, infectious, neoplastic and inflammatory conditions. Here, the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death (NCCD) gathered to critically summarize an abundant pre-clinical literature mechanistically linking the core apoptotic apparatus to organismal homeostasis in the context of disease.

Abstract
Larotrectinib and Entrectinib are specific pan-Trk tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2018 for cancers with an NTRK fusion. Despite initial enthusiasm for these compounds, the French agency (HAS) recently reported their lack of efficacy. In addition, primary and secondary resistance to these TKIs has been observed in the absence of other mutations in cancers with an NTRK fusion. Furthermore, when TrkA is overexpressed, it promotes ligand-independent activation, bypassing the TKI. All of these clinical and experimental observations show that genetics does not explain all therapeutic failures. It is therefore necessary to explore new hypotheses to explain these failures. This review summarizes the current status of therapeutic strategies with TrkA inhibitors, focusing on the mechanisms potentially involved in these failures and more specifically on the role of TrkA.

Abstract
Besides protein processing, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has several other functions such as lipid synthesis, the transfer of molecules to other cellular compartments, and the regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis. Before leaving the organelle, proteins must be folded and post-translationally modified. Protein folding and revision require molecular chaperones and a favorable ER environment. When in stressful situations, ER luminal conditions or chaperone capacity are altered, and the cell activates signaling cascades to restore a favorable folding environment triggering the so-called unfolded protein response (UPR) that can lead to autophagy to preserve cell integrity. However, when the UPR is disrupted or insufficient, cell death occurs. This review examines the links between UPR signaling, cell-protective responses, and death following ER stress with a particular focus on those mechanisms that operate in neurons.

Abstract
Cytotoxic CD8 T cells (CTLs) are classically described as the “serial killers” of the immune system, where they play a pivotal role in protective immunity against a wide spectrum of pathogens and tumors. Ironically, they are critical drivers of transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases, a scenario very similar to the famous novel “The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”. Until recently, it has not been well-appreciated whether CTLs can also acquire non-cytotoxic functions in health and disease. Several investigations into this question revealed their non-cytotoxic functions through interactions with various immune and non-immune cells. In this review, we will establish a new classification for CD8 T cell functions including cytotoxic and non-cytotoxic. Further, we will discuss this novel concept and speculate on how these functions could contribute to homeostasis of the immune system as well as immunological responses in transplantation, cancer, and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) is a pivotal adaptor protein that functions in mediating cell death, cell cycle regulation, and particular in innate immunity by the main death receptors. In this study, a second FADD gene in sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (termed AjFADD-2) was cloned and its potential function in the innate responses was analyzed. The full-length cDNA of AjFADD-2 consists of 2405 bp and contains a 47 bp 5'-untranslated region (UTR), a 1629 bp 3'-UTR, and a 729 bp ORF encoding 242 amino acids. AjFADD-2 possesses two conserved domains of intracellular N-terminal death effector domain and an extracellular C-terminal death domain, which is different from the first cloned FADD gene in A. japonicus that only possesses the death domain. AjFADD-2 was examined in all sampled six tissues and was significantly induced in V. splendidus-challenged sea cucumbers and LPS-exposed coelomocytes. Subcellular localization detection showed that AjFADD-2 was primarily observed in the coelomocyte cytoplasm, and transferred to the nucleus post V. splendidus challenge. Consistently, AjFADD-2 knockdown significantly inhibited apoptosis in V. splendidus-challenged sea cucumbers and LPS-exposed coelomocytes. Taken together, our results provided evidence that AjFADD functioned as a positive regulator of coelomocytes apoptosis in response to pathogen V. splendidus challenge.

Abstract
Study of the initial steps of the CD95-mediated signaling pathways is a field of intense research and a long list of actors has been described in the literature. Nonetheless, the dynamism of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) occurring in the presence or absence of its natural ligand, CD95L, and the cellular distribution where these PPIs take place render it difficult to predict what will be the cellular outcome associated with the receptor engagement. Accordingly, CD95 stimulation can trigger apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, or pro-inflammatory signaling pathways such as nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K). Recent data suggest that CD95 can also activate pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) known to sense damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) such as DNA debris and dead cells. This activation might contribute to the pro-inflammatory role of CD95 and favor cancer development or severity of chronic inflammatory and auto-immune disorders. Herein, we discuss some of the molecular links that might connect the CD95 signaling to DAMP sensors.

Abstract
The demise of cells in various ways enables the body to clear unwanted cells. Studies over the years revealed distinctive molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of several key cell death pathways. Currently, the most intensively investigated programmed cell death (PCD) includes apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, PANoptosis, and autophagy, which has been discovered to play crucial roles in modulating the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and determining clinical outcomes of the cancer therapeutic approaches. PCD can play dual roles, either pro-tumor or anti-tumor, partly depending on the intracellular contents released during the process. PCD also regulates the enrichment of effector or regulatory immune cells, thus participating in fine-tuning the anti-tumor immunity in the TME. In this review, we focused primarily on apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, PANoptosis, and autophagy, discussed the released molecular messengers participating in regulating their intricate crosstalk with the immune response in the TME, and explored the immunological consequence of PCD and its implications in future cancer therapy developments.

Abstract
Regulated cell death is a vital and dynamic process in multicellular organisms that maintains tissue homeostasis and eliminates potentially dangerous cells. Apoptosis, one of the better-known forms of regulated cell death, is activated when cell-surface death receptors like Fas are engaged by their ligands (the extrinsic pathway) or when BCL-2-family pro-apoptotic proteins cause the permeabilization of the mitochondrial outer membrane (the intrinsic pathway). Both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of apoptosis lead to the activation of a family of proteases, the caspases, which are responsible for the final cell demise in the so-called execution phase of apoptosis. In this review, I will first discuss the most common types of regulated cell death on a morphological basis. I will then consider in detail the molecular pathways of intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis, discussing how they are activated in response to specific stimuli and are sometimes overlapping. In-depth knowledge of the cellular mechanisms of apoptosis is becoming more and more important not only in the field of cellular and molecular biology but also for its translational potential in several pathologies, including neurodegeneration and cancer.

Abstract
CD95/Fas/APO-1 can trigger apoptotic as well as nonapoptotic pathways in immune cells. CD95 signaling in humans can be inhibited by several mechanisms, including mutations in the gene encoding CD95. CD95 mutations lead to autoimmune disorders, such as autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS). Gaining further insight into the reported mutations of CD95 and resulting alterations of its signaling networks may provide further understanding of their presumed role in certain autoimmune diseases. For illustrative purposes and to better understand the potential outcomes of CD95 mutations, here we assign their positions to the recently determined 3D structures of human CD95. Based on this, we make certain predictions and speculate on the putative role of CD95 mutation defects in CD95-mediated signaling for certain autoimmune diseases.

From pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis to PANoptosis: A mechanistic compendium of programmed cell death pathways. Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2021; 19:4641-4657. [PMID: 34504660 PMCID: PMC8405902 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2021.07.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 199] [Impact Index Per Article: 66.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 07/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis are the most genetically well-defined programmed cell death (PCD) pathways, and they are intricately involved in both homeostasis and disease. Although the identification of key initiators, effectors and executioners in each of these three PCD pathways has historically delineated them as distinct, growing evidence has highlighted extensive crosstalk among them. These observations have led to the establishment of the concept of PANoptosis, defined as an inflammatory PCD pathway regulated by the PANoptosome complex with key features of pyroptosis, apoptosis and/or necroptosis that cannot be accounted for by any of these PCD pathways alone. In this review, we provide a brief overview of the research history of pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis. We then examine the intricate crosstalk among these PCD pathways to discuss the current evidence for PANoptosis. We also detail the molecular evidence for the assembly of the PANoptosome complex, a molecular scaffold for contemporaneous engagement of key molecules from pyroptosis, apoptosis, and/or necroptosis. PANoptosis is now known to be critically involved in many diseases, including infection, sterile inflammation and cancer, and future discovery of novel PANoptotic components will continue to broaden our understanding of the fundamental processes of cell death and inform the development of new therapeutics.

Abstract
Several homologous domains are shared by eukaryotic immunity and programmed cell-death systems and poorly understood bacterial proteins. Recent studies show these to be components of a network of highly regulated systems connecting apoptotic processes to counter-invader immunity, in prokaryotes with a multicellular habit. However, the provenance of key adaptor domains, namely those of the Death-like and TRADD-N superfamilies, a quintessential feature of metazoan apoptotic systems, remained murky. Here, we use sensitive sequence analysis and comparative genomics methods to identify unambiguous bacterial homologs of the Death-like and TRADD-N superfamilies. We show the former to have arisen as part of a radiation of effector-associated α-helical adaptor domains that likely mediate homotypic interactions bringing together diverse effector and signaling domains in predicted bacterial apoptosis- and counter-invader systems. Similarly, we show that the TRADD-N domain defines a key, widespread signaling bridge that links effector deployment to invader-sensing in multicellular bacterial and metazoan counter-invader systems. TRADD-N domains are expanded in aggregating marine invertebrates and point to distinctive diversifying immune strategies probably directed both at RNA and retroviruses and cellular pathogens that might infect such communities. These TRADD-N and Death-like domains helped identify several new bacterial and metazoan counter-invader systems featuring underappreciated, common functional principles: the use of intracellular invader-sensing lectin-like (NPCBM and FGS), transcription elongation GreA/B-C, glycosyltransferase-4 family, inactive NTPase (serving as nucleic acid receptors), and invader-sensing GTPase switch domains. Finally, these findings point to the possibility of multicellular bacteria-stem metazoan symbiosis in the emergence of the immune/apoptotic systems of the latter.

Abstract
Mathematical models of biochemical reaction networks are central to the study of dynamic cellular processes and hypothesis generation that informs experimentation and validation. Unfortunately, model parameters are often not available and sparse experimental data leads to challenges in model calibration and parameter estimation. This can in turn lead to unreliable mechanistic interpretations of experimental data and the generation of poorly conceived hypotheses for experimental validation. To address this challenge, we evaluate whether a Bayesian-inspired probability-based approach, that relies on expected values for quantities of interest calculated from available information regarding the reaction network topology and parameters can be used to qualitatively explore hypothetical biochemical network execution mechanisms in the context of limited available data. We test our approach on a model of extrinsic apoptosis execution to identify preferred signal execution modes across varying conditions. Apoptosis signal processing can take place either through a mitochondria independent (Type I) mode or a mitochondria dependent (Type II) mode. We first show that in silico knockouts, represented by model subnetworks, successfully identify the most likely execution mode for specific concentrations of key molecular regulators. We then show that changes in molecular regulator concentrations alter the overall reaction flux through the network by shifting the primary route of signal flow between the direct caspase and mitochondrial pathways. Our work thus demonstrates that probabilistic approaches can be used to explore the qualitative dynamic behavior of model biochemical systems even with missing or sparse data.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma remains a hard-to-treat cancer as all patients eventually progress because of drug resistance. Thus, there is a need for novel and non-cross-resistant treatment options, and we aimed to address this issue by introducing a new immuno-oncology drug (APO010) in multiple myeloma treatment. APO010 is a hexameric Fas-ligand that mimics cytotoxic T-lymphocyte signaling through the Fas-receptor to induce apoptosis. APO010 is currently in clinical trials with multiple myeloma patients. Thus, an understanding of the mechanisms contributing to resistance to APO010 will be essential for future clinical studies with APO010, and it might be possible to develop strategies to circumvent this resistance. We developed APO010-resistant variants of human multiple myeloma cell lines (LP1, MOLP-8, and KMS-12-BM) and a human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line (Raji) by exposing the cells to gradually increasing concentrations of APO010 over a period of 6-12 months. The resistant cell lines were characterized on the basis of immunocytochemistry, Fas-receptor protein expression, mRNA expression analysis, and pathway analysis. APO010-resistant cell lines exhibited a 4- to 520-fold increase in resistance to APO010 and still remained sensitive to other chemotherapeutics. Downregulation of the Fas-receptor protein expression was observed in all resistant cell lines. mRNA expression analysis of the resistant versus parental cell lines confirmed a significant alteration in FAS expression between sensitive and resistant cell lines (p = 0.03), while pathway analysis revealed alterations in mRNA signaling pathways of Fas. On the basis of the pre-clinical data obtained, it can be concluded that downregulation of Fas-receptor can mediate resistance to APO010.

Abstract
Caspase-8 is an apical caspase involved in the programmed form of cell death called apoptosis that is critically important for mammalian development and immunity. Apoptosis was historically described as immunologically silent in contrast to other types of programmed cell death such as necroptosis or pyroptosis. Recent reports suggest considerable crosstalk between these different forms of cell death. It is becoming increasingly clear that caspase-8 has many non-apoptotic roles, participating in multiple processes including regulation of necroptosis (mediated by receptor-interacting serine/threonine kinases, RIPK1-RIPK3), inflammatory cytokine expression, inflammasome activation, and cleavage of IL-1β and gasdermin D, and protection against shock and microbial infection. In this review, we discuss the involvement of caspase-8 in cell death and inflammation and highlight its role in innate immune responses and in the relationship between different forms of cell death. Caspase-8 is one of the central components in this type of crosstalk.

FADD in Cancer: Mechanisms of Altered Expression and Function, and Clinical Implications. Cancers (Basel) 2019; 11:cancers11101462.

Abstract
FADD was initially described as an adaptor molecule for death receptor-mediated apoptosis, but subsequently it has been implicated in nonapoptotic cellular processes such as proliferation and cell cycle control. During the last decade, FADD has been shown to play a pivotal role in most of the signalosome complexes, such as the necroptosome and the inflammasome. Interestingly, various mechanisms involved in regulating FADD functions have been identified, essentially posttranslational modifications and secretion. All these aspects have been thoroughly addressed in previous reviews. However, FADD implication in cancer is complex, due to pleiotropic effects. It has been reported either as anti- or protumorigenic, depending on the cell type. Regulation of FADD expression in cancer is a complex issue since both overexpression and downregulation have been reported, but the mechanisms underlying such alterations have not been fully unveiled. Posttranslational modifications also constitute a relevant mechanism controlling FADD levels and functions in tumor cells. In this review, we aim to provide detailed, updated information on alterations leading to changes in FADD expression and function in cancer. The participation of FADD in various biological processes is recapitulated, with a mention of interesting novel functions recently proposed for FADD, such as regulation of gene expression and control of metabolic pathways. Finally, we gather all the available evidence regarding the clinical implications of FADD alterations in cancer, especially as it has been proposed as a potential biomarker with prognostic value.

Abstract
Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) have been recognized as key mediators of pancreatic fibrosis, a characteristic feature of chronic pancreatitis (CP). As a cullin-based E3 ubiquitin ligase, speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) has been identified to participate in tumorigenesis and organ development. However, its biological role in CP remains unknown. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the changed expression of SPOP in CP and to examine the effect on mice PSCs activation of SPOP. We found that SPOP was downregulated in the pancreatic tissues of cerulein-induced CP mice. siRNA-mediated knockdown of SPOP led to significant promotion in primary PSCs activity by activating the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB)/interleukin-6 (IL-6) signaling pathway. In addition, we examined the effects of Fas-associated death domain (FADD), a proven SPOP substrate that activates NF-κB, on the regulation of PSCs activation. We found that FADD was downregulated by SPOP via interaction-mediated degradation, and was upregulated during PSCs activation. The promotion of PSCs activation in knocking down SPOP with siSPOP-1 were counteracted by knocking down FADD. The results suggest that the SPOP-induced inhibition of PSCs activation partially depended on FADD. These results highlight the importance of SPOP in CP and provide a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the third commonest malignancy in Asia including Malaysia. The immunogenic cancer-testis antigens, which are expressed in a variety of cancers but with limited expression in normal tissues except the testis, represent an attractive approach to improve treatment options for colorectal cancer. We aimed to validate four PASD1 peptides as the immunotherapeutic targets in colorectal cancer. First, PASD1 mRNA and protein expression were determined via real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. The PASD1 peptides specific to HLA-A*24:02 were investigated using IFN-y-ELISpot assay, followed by the cytolytic and granzyme-B-ELISpot assays to analyze the cytolytic effects of CD8+ T cells. Gene and protein expressions of PASD1 were detected in 20% and 17.3% of colorectal cancer samples, respectively. PASD1(4) peptide was shown to be immunogenic in colorectal cancer samples. CD8+ T cells raised against PASD1(4) peptide were able to lyze HLA-A*24:02+ PASD1+ cells. Our results reveal that PASD1(4) peptide represents a potential target for colorectal cancer.

Abstract
To protect tissues and the organism from disease, potentially harmful cells are removed through programmed cell death processes, including apoptosis and necroptosis. These types of cell death are critically controlled by microRNAs (miRNAs). MiRNAs are short RNA molecules that target and inhibit expression of many cellular regulators, including those controlling programmed cell death via the intrinsic (Bcl-2 and Mcl-1), extrinsic (TRAIL and Fas), p53-and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptotic pathways, as well as the necroptosis cell death pathway. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge of apoptosis and necroptosis pathways and how these are impaired in cancer cells. We focus on how miRNAs disrupt apoptosis and necroptosis, thereby critically contributing to malignancy. Understanding which and how miRNAs and their targets affect cell death pathways could open up novel therapeutic opportunities for cancer patients. Indeed, restoration of pro-apoptotic tumor suppressor miRNAs (apoptomiRs) or inhibition of oncogenic miRNAs (oncomiRs) represent strategies that are currently being trialed or are already applied as miRNA-based cancer therapies. Therefore, better understanding the cancer type-specific expression of apoptomiRs and oncomiRs and their underlying mechanisms in cell death pathways will not only advance our knowledge, but also continue to provide new opportunities to treat cancer.

Abstract
Caspase-8 is a key integrator of cell survival and cell death decisions during infection and inflammation. Following engagement of tumor necrosis factor superfamily receptors or certain Toll-like receptors (TLRs), caspase-8 initiates cell-extrinsic apoptosis while inhibiting RIPK3-dependent programmed necrosis. In addition, caspase-8 has an important, albeit less well understood, role in cell-intrinsic inflammatory gene expression. Macrophages lacking caspase-8 or the adaptor FADD have defective inflammatory cytokine expression and inflammasome priming in response to bacterial infection or TLR stimulation. How caspase-8 regulates cytokine gene expression, and whether caspase-8-mediated gene regulation has a physiological role during infection, remain poorly defined. Here we demonstrate that both caspase-8 enzymatic activity and scaffolding functions contribute to inflammatory cytokine gene expression. Caspase-8 enzymatic activity was necessary for maximal expression of Il1b and Il12b, but caspase-8 deficient cells exhibited a further decrease in expression of these genes. Furthermore, the ability of TLR stimuli to induce optimal IκB kinase phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of the nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells family member c-Rel required caspase activity. Interestingly, overexpression of c-Rel was sufficient to restore expression of IL-12 and IL-1β in caspase-8-deficient cells. Moreover, Ripk3 -/- Casp8 -/- mice were unable to control infection by the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which corresponded to defects in monocyte recruitment to the peritoneal cavity, and exogenous IL-12 restored monocyte recruitment and protection of caspase-8-deficient mice during acute toxoplasmosis. These findings provide insight into how caspase-8 controls inflammatory gene expression and identify a critical role for caspase-8 in host defense against eukaryotic pathogens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to clarify the molecular pathways involved in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced hepatoblastoma. METHOD The expression of factors in different signaling pathways (H19, miR-675, miR-138, protein tyrosine kinase 2 [PTK2], fas-associated death domain [FADD], hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha [HIFIA], focal adhesion kinase [FAK], caspase-8, and caspase-3) was compared between HBV (+) and HBV (-) groups using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. Subsequently, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) assays were used to verify the expression of above proteins in HBV (+) and HBV (-) groups. Computational analysis was conducted to predict the target genes of miR-675 and miR-138, whose regulatory relationships were then clarified using luciferase assays and cell transfection studies. RESULT The expression of H19, miR-675, PTK2, HIFIA, and FAK was increased in the HBV (+) group, while the expression of miR-138, FADD, caspase-8, and caspase-3 was decreased in the HBV (+) group. FADD and PTK2 were identified as target genes of miR-675 and miR-138, respectively. In addition, miR-675 was upregulated while miR-138 was downregulated by X protein (HBx). CONCLUSION In summary, the results of this study revealed the molecular pathways involved in HBV-induced hepatoblastoma. In the presence of HBV, HBX upregulated the expression of H19 through HIFIA. Consecutively, overexpressed H19 upregulated the expression of PTK2 via targeting miR-138 and downregulated the expression of FADD via targeting miR-675. Finally, increased expression of PTK2 and reduced expression of FADD both led to the inhibition of cell apoptosis, thus promoting the tumorigenesis of hepatoblastoma.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2019; 34:424-433. [PMID: 30600648 DOI: 10.1002/tox.22696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2018] [Revised: 11/29/2018] [Accepted: 11/30/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Zearalenone (ZEA) is an estrogen-like toxin produced by Fusarium that is widely found in cereals worldwide. In recent years, ZEA has been found to cause reproductive dysfunction in male animals, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study examined the apoptosis of rat Sertoli cells induced by different concentrations (0, 5, 10, and 20 μmol/L) of ZEA via Fas-Fas ligand and mitochondrial signaling pathway in vitro. Apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry. The mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by immunofluorescence assay and flow cytometry. Western Blot and qRT-PCR were used to identify the signaling pathway. The results revealed that ZEA induced apoptosis of rat Sertoli cells, significantly reduced the transcription and expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, increased the transcription and expression of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and tBID, and Fas, FasL, FADD, and caspase-8. ZEA also increased the activation of caspase-8 and caspase-9, and promoted the release of cytochrome C from mitochondria to cytoplasm. Moreover, addition of caspase-8 inhibitor Z-IETD-FMK led to significant decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis rate of the ZEA + Z-IETD-FMK group as compared to the ZEA treatment group. The release of cytochrome C from mitochondria to cytoplasm and the activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 were significantly decreased in the ZEA + Z-IETD-FMK group. These results suggested that ZEA can induce apoptosis of rat Sertoli cells, activate the Fas-Fas ligand signaling pathway and participate in the regulation of mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.

Abstract
Across clinical trials, T cell expansion and persistence following adoptive cell transfer (ACT) have correlated with superior patient outcomes. Herein, we undertook a pan-cancer analysis to identify actionable ligand-receptor pairs capable of compromising T cell durability following ACT. We discovered that FASLG, the gene encoding the apoptosis-inducing ligand FasL, is overexpressed within the majority of human tumor microenvironments (TMEs). Further, we uncovered that Fas, the receptor for FasL, is highly expressed on patient-derived T cells used for clinical ACT. We hypothesized that a cognate Fas-FasL interaction within the TME might limit both T cell persistence and antitumor efficacy. We discovered that genetic engineering of Fas variants impaired in the ability to bind FADD functioned as dominant negative receptors (DNRs), preventing FasL-induced apoptosis in Fas-competent T cells. T cells coengineered with a Fas DNR and either a T cell receptor or chimeric antigen receptor exhibited enhanced persistence following ACT, resulting in superior antitumor efficacy against established solid and hematologic cancers. Despite increased longevity, Fas DNR-engineered T cells did not undergo aberrant expansion or mediate autoimmunity. Thus, T cell-intrinsic disruption of Fas signaling through genetic engineering represents a potentially universal strategy to enhance ACT efficacy across a broad range of human malignancies.

Abstract
We evaluated redundant and receptor-specific activities of TRADD, RIPK1, and FADD in RIPK3-expressing HeLa cells lacking expression of these proteins or any combination of two of these factors. We confirmed the opposing role of FADD in TNF- and TRAIL-induced necroptosis and observed an anti-necroptotic function of TRADD. RIPK1 and TRADD act in a redundant manner in TNF- but not TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Complementary, FADD proved to be sufficient for TRAIL- but not for TNF-induced apoptosis. TRADD and RIPK1, however, redundantly mediated proinflammatory signaling in response to TNF and TRAIL. FADD deficiency sensitized more efficiently for TNFR1-mediated necroptosis than caspase-8 deficiency pointing to a caspase-8 independent inhibitory activity of FADD on TNF-induced necroptosis. Based on these characteristics, we propose a model in which the death receptor-specific activities of TRADD, RIPK1, and FADD are traced back to their hierarchically different position in TNFR1- and TRAIL death receptor signaling.

TRADD regulates perinatal development and adulthood survival in mice lacking RIPK1 and RIPK3. Nat Commun 2019; 10:705.

Abstract
TRADD is an adaptor for TNFR1-induced apoptosis and NFκB activation. However, TRADD-deficient mice undergo normal development and contain normal lymphoid populations, which contrasts with an embryonic defect in mice lacking FADD, the shared adaptor mediating apoptosis. Recent studies indicate FADD suppresses embryonic necroptosis mediated by RIPK1. TRADD was suggested to also mediate necroptosis. Here we report that targeting TRADD fails to rescue Fadd-/- embryos from necroptosis, and ablation of TRADD rescues Ripk1-/- mice from perinatal lethality when RIPK3-mediated necroptosis is disabled. The resulting Ripk1-/-Ripk3-/-Tradd-/- mice survive until early adulthood, but die thereafter. A single allele of Tradd is optimal for survival of Ripk1-/-Ripk3-/-Tradd+/- mice. We show that TRADD plays a more dominating role in NFκB-signaling than RIPK1. While RIPK1 protects thymocytes from TNFα-induced apoptosis, TRADD promotes this process. The data demonstrate that TRADD is critical in perinatal and adult mice lacking RIPK1 and RIPK3, which has not been appreciated in prior studies.

Abstract
The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and TNF receptor (TNFR) superfamilies (TNFSF/TNFRSF) include 19 ligands and 29 receptors that play important roles in the modulation of cellular functions. The communication pathways mediated by TNFSF/TNFRSF are essential for numerous developmental, homeostatic, and stimulus-responsive processes in vivo. TNFSF/TNFRSF members regulate cellular differentiation, survival, and programmed death, but their most critical functions pertain to the immune system. Both innate and adaptive immune cells are controlled by TNFSF/TNFRSF members in a manner that is crucial for the coordination of various mechanisms driving either co-stimulation or co-inhibition of the immune response. Dysregulation of these same signaling pathways has been implicated in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, highlighting the importance of their tight regulation. Investigation of the control of TNFSF/TNFRSF activities has led to the development of therapeutics with the potential to reduce chronic inflammation or promote anti-tumor immunity. The study of TNFSF/TNFRSF proteins has exploded over the last 30 yr, but there remains a need to better understand the fundamental mechanisms underlying the molecular pathways they mediate to design more effective anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore double-negative T (DNT) cell cytotoxicity to pancreatic cancer and the effect of the Fas (CD95, APO-1)/FasL (CD178) signaling pathway on this process. METHODS DNT cells from the peripheral blood of healthy volunteers were expanded in vitro. The inhibitory effect of DNT cells on pancreatic cancer cells was investigated using a CCK-8 assay and nude mouse tumor model. A mechanistic study was performed using pathway blocking assays. RESULTS DNT cells were amplified in vitro with >90% purity, and the growth of pancreatic cancer in vitro was significantly inhibited by DNT cells. After coculture with DNT cells, Fas, caspase-8 and cleaved caspase-8 showed increased expression in pancreatic cancer cells. When blocking agent decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) was added, the antitumor effect of DNT cells and the expression of Fas, caspase-8 and cleaved caspase-8 were reduced in pancreatic cancer cells. In the nude mouse tumor model, the tumor volume and weight were lower in the DNT cell group and gemcitabine group than in the blank control group. Additionally, the expression of Fas, caspase-8 and cleaved caspase-8 was higher in the DNT cell group than in the blank control group. Moreover, DNT cells promoted apoptosis in cancer cells and animal model tissues. CONCLUSION DNT cells inhibited the growth of pancreatic cancer, and the Fas/FasL signaling pathway was involved in this process.

Abstract
Initially described as an adaptor molecule for death receptor (DR)-mediated apoptosis, Fas-associated death domain (FADD) was later implicated in nonapoptotic cellular processes. During the last decade, FADD has been shown to participate and regulate most of the signalosome complexes, including necrosome, FADDosome, innateosome, and inflammasome. Given the role of these signaling complexes, FADD has emerged as a new actor in innate immunity, inflammation, and cancer development. Concomitant to these new roles, a surprising number of mechanisms deemed to regulate FADD functions have been identified, including post-translational modifications of FADD protein and FADD secretion. This review focuses on recent knowledge of the biological roles of FADD, a pleiotropic molecule having multiple partners, and its impact in cancer, innate immunity, and inflammation.

Abstract
Since its discovery, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has spawned a literature that now spans 35 years of research. While all neurotrophins share considerable overlap in sequence homology and their processing, BDNF has become the most widely studied neurotrophin because of its broad roles in brain homeostasis, health, and disease. Although research on BDNF has produced thousands of articles, there remain numerous long-standing questions on aspects of BDNF molecular biology and signaling. Here we provide a comprehensive review, including both a historical narrative and a forward-looking perspective on advances in the actions of BDNF within the brain. We specifically review BDNF’s gene structure, peptide composition (including domains, posttranslational modifications and putative motif sites), mechanisms of transport, signaling pathway recruitment, and other recent developments including the functional effects of genetic variation and the discovery of a new BDNF prodomain ligand. This body of knowledge illustrates a highly conserved and complex role for BDNF within the brain, that promotes the idea that the neurotrophin biology of BDNF is diverse and that any disease involvement is likely to be equally multifarious.

Abstract
Naphthyridine derivatives are a widely-used class of heterocycles due to their pharmacological activities. A novel compound (10-Methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo(g)(1,3) diazepino(1,2-a)-(1,8)naphthyridin-6-yl)(phenyl) methanone (named 3u), showed good anticancer activity in the human malignant melanoma cell line A375 via Thiazolyl Blue Tetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay. After Western blotting confirmed, we found that 3u induces necroptosis at low concentrations and apoptosis at high concentrations via the upregulation of death receptors and scaffold protein in A375 cells. Furthermore, by combining 3u with the caspase inhibitor zVAD-fmk or Receptor Interacting Serine/Threonine Kinase 1 (RIP1) kinase inhibitor Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1), we found that the activity of caspase-8 was the crucial factor that determined whether either apoptosis or necroptosis occurred. The results indicate that 3u should be considered as a potential chemical substance for melanoma treatment.

Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) vFLIP, a latent gene of KSHV, was first identified as a FLICE-inhibitory protein (FLIP) protecting cells from apoptosis. The vFLIP protein has been shown to activate the NF-κB signaling involved in spindle morphology formation both in HUVECs infected with KSHV and Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) itself. In this study, we independently established stably vFLIP-expressing cells and showed that they exhibited upregulated NF-κB family protein expression independent of the ability of IKKs to bind vFLIP. Further, vFLIP induced upregulation of IKKε, phosphorylation of RelA at Ser468 (p-RelA S468) and nuclear localization of Re1A concomitant with spindle morphology formation, and these effects were reversed by knockdown of IKKε and treatment with Bay-11. Overexpression of IKKε alone also showed spindle morphology formation with p-RelA S468. In conclusion, the spindle cell morphology in KS should be induced by RelA activation (p-RelA S468) by IKKε upregulation in vFLIP-expressing EA hy926 cells.

[PMID: 29891848 PMCID: PMC5995957 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-018-0702-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2018] [Revised: 04/26/2018] [Accepted: 05/14/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Fas-L is a TNF family member known to trigger cell death. It has recently become evident that Fas-L can transduce also non-apoptotic signals. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that are derived from various adult tissues. Although MSCs from different tissues display common properties they also display tissue-specific characteristics. Previous works have demonstrated massive apoptosis following Fas-L treatment of bone marrow-derived MSCs both in vitro and following their administration in vivo. We therefore set to examine Fas-L-induced responses in adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). Human ASCs were isolated from lipoaspirates and their reactivity to Fas-L treatment was examined. ASCs responded to Fas-L by simultaneous apoptosis and proliferation, which yielded a net doubling of cell quantities and a phenotypic shift, including reduced expression of CD105 and increased expression of CD73, in association with increased bone differentiation potential. Treatment of freshly isolated ASCs led to an increase in large colony forming unit fibroblasts, likely produced by early stem cell progenitor cells. Fas-L-induced apoptosis and proliferation signaling were found to be independent as caspase inhibition attenuated Fas-L-induced apoptosis without impacting proliferation, whereas inhibition of PI3K and MEK, but not of JNK, attenuated Fas-L-dependent proliferation, but not apoptosis. Thus, Fas-L signaling in ASCs leads to their expansion and phenotypic shift toward a more potent stem cell state. We speculate that these reactions ensure the survival of ASC progenitor cells encountering Fas-L-enriched environments during tissue damage and inflammation and may also enhance ASC survival following their administration in vivo.

Front Immunol 2018; 9:1126. [PMID: 29915574 PMCID: PMC5994421 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2018.01126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2017] [Accepted: 05/03/2018] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Human surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a potent innate immune molecule, which is emerging as a key molecule in the recognition and clearance of altered and non-self targets. Previous studies have shown that a recombinant fragment of human SP-D (rfhSP-D) induced apoptosis via p53-mediated apoptosis pathway in an eosinophilic leukemic cell line, AML14.3D10. Here, we report the ability of rfhSP-D to induce apoptosis via TNF-α/Fas-mediated pathway regardless of the p53 status in human pancreatic adenocarcinoma using Panc-1 (p53mt), MiaPaCa-2 (p53mt), and Capan-2 (p53wt) cell lines. Treatment of these cell lines with rfhSP-D for 24 h caused growth arrest in G1 cell cycle phase and triggered transcriptional upregulation of pro-apoptotic factors such as TNF-α and NF-κB. Translocation of NF-κB from the cytoplasm into the nucleus of pancreatic cancer cell lines was observed via immunofluorescence microscopy following treatment with rfhSP-D as compared to the untreated cells. The rfhSP-D treatment caused upregulation of pro-apoptotic marker Fas, as analyzed via qPCR and western blot, which then triggered caspase cascade, as evident from cleavage of caspase 8 and 3 analyzed via western blot at 48 h. The cell number following the rfhSP-D treatment was reduced in the order of Panc-1 (~67%) > MiaPaCa-2 (~60%) > Capan-2 (~35%). This study appears to suggest that rfhSP-D can potentially be used to therapeutically target pancreatic cancer cells irrespective of their p53 phenotype.

Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:ijms19051458. [PMID: 29757984 PMCID: PMC5983697 DOI: 10.3390/ijms19051458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2018] [Revised: 04/26/2018] [Accepted: 05/11/2018] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BRCA1 is a multifunctional tumor suppressor involved in several essential cellular processes. Although many of these functions are driven by or related to its transcriptional/epigenetic regulator activity, there has been no genome-wide study to reveal the transcriptional/epigenetic targets of BRCA1. Therefore, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of genomics/transcriptomics data to identify novel BRCA1 target genes. We first analyzed ENCODE data with BRCA1 chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-sequencing results and identified a set of genes with a promoter occupied by BRCA1. We collected 3085 loci with a BRCA1 ChIP signal from four cell lines and calculated the distance between the loci and the nearest gene transcription start site (TSS). Overall, 66.5% of the BRCA1-bound loci fell into a 2-kb region around the TSS, suggesting a role in transcriptional regulation. We selected 45 candidate genes based on gene expression correlation data, obtained from two GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) datasets and TCGA data of human breast cancer, compared to BRCA1 expression levels. Among them, we further tested three genes (MEIS2, CKS1B and FADD) and verified FADD as a novel direct target of BRCA1 by ChIP, RT-PCR, and a luciferase reporter assay. Collectively, our data demonstrate genome-wide transcriptional regulation by BRCA1 and suggest target genes as biomarker candidates for BRCA1-associated breast cancer.

Abstract
Over the past decade, the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death (NCCD) has formulated guidelines for the definition and interpretation of cell death from morphological, biochemical, and functional perspectives. Since the field continues to expand and novel mechanisms that orchestrate multiple cell death pathways are unveiled, we propose an updated classification of cell death subroutines focusing on mechanistic and essential (as opposed to correlative and dispensable) aspects of the process. As we provide molecularly oriented definitions of terms including intrinsic apoptosis, extrinsic apoptosis, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)-driven necrosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, parthanatos, entotic cell death, NETotic cell death, lysosome-dependent cell death, autophagy-dependent cell death, immunogenic cell death, cellular senescence, and mitotic catastrophe, we discuss the utility of neologisms that refer to highly specialized instances of these processes. The mission of the NCCD is to provide a widely accepted nomenclature on cell death in support of the continued development of the field.

Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lacrimal and salivary gland with subsequent keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia. Histopathologic findings include damaged acini of the lacrimal and salivary glands with mononuclear cell infiltrates of lymphocytic and plasma cell type. The cause of the damage is cell-mediated cytotoxicity. The pathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome is still unknown. The role of viral infections failed to show a causative effect. On the other hand, tissue destruction was shown to be mediated by activated T cells of CD4+ type that home into the lacrimal gland. This process is signal-mediated through the T-cell receptor that interacts with class II antigen on the epithelial cells of exocrine glands. This, in turn, induces the expression of Fas/APO-1 and Fas-mediated apoptosis of acinar cells. Granzyme A and perforin are cytolytic enzymes secreted by activated T lymphocytes that seem to participate in acinar cell destruction.

Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) regulates autophagy through promoting the expression of Ras homolog enriched in brain (Rheb) in human breast adenocarcinoma cells. Oncotarget 2017; 7:24572-84. [PMID: 27013580 PMCID: PMC5029724 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.8249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2015] [Accepted: 03/01/2016] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
FADD (Fas-associated protein with death domain) is a classical adaptor protein in apoptosis. Increasing evidences have shown that FADD is also implicated in cell cycle progression, proliferation and tumorigenesis. The role of FADD in cancer remains largely unexplored. In this study, In Silico Analysis using Oncomine and Kaplan Meier plotter revealed that FADD is significantly up-regulated in breast cancer tissues and closely associated with a poor prognosis in patients with breast cancer. To better understanding the FADD functions in breast cancer, we performed proteomics analysis by LC-MS/MS detection and found that Rheb-mTORC1 pathway was dysregulated in MCF-7 cells when FADD knockdown. The mTORC1 pathway is a key regulator in many processes, including cell growth, metabolism and autophagy. Here, FADD interference down-regulated Rheb expression and repressed mTORC1 activity in breast cancer cell lines. The autophagy was induced by FADD deficiency in MCF7 or MDA-231 cells but rescued by recovering Rheb expression. Similarly, growth defect in FADD-knockdown cells was also restored by Rheb overexpression. These findings implied a novel role of FADD in tumor progression via Rheb-mTORC1 pathway in breast cancer.

Abstract
In vivo the application of optogenetic manipulation in deep tissue is seriously obstructed by the limited penetration depth of visible light that is continually applied to activate a photoactuator. Herein, we designed a versatile upconversion optogenetic nanosystem based on a blue-light-mediated heterodimerization module and rare-earth upconversion nanoparticles (UCNs). The UCNs worked as a nanotransducer to convert external deep-tissue-penetrating near-infrared (NIR) light to local blue light to noninvasively activate photoreceptors for optogenetic manipulation in vivo. In this, we demonstrated that deeply penetrating NIR light could be used to control the apoptotic signaling pathway of cancer cells in both mammalian cells and mice by UCNs. We believe that this interesting NIR-light-responsive upconversion optogenetic nanotechnology has significant application potentials for both basic research and clinical applications in vivo.

A variant of death-receptor 3 associated with rheumatoid arthritis interferes with apoptosis-induction of T cell. J Biol Chem 2017; 293:1933-1943. [PMID: 29180447 PMCID: PMC5808757 DOI: 10.1074/jbc.m117.798884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2017] [Revised: 11/14/2017] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic polyarthritis of unknown etiology. To unravel the molecular mechanisms in RA, we performed targeted DNA sequencing analysis of patients with RA. This analysis identified a variant of the death receptor 3 (DR3) gene, a member of the family of apoptosis-inducing Fas genes, which contains four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and a 14-nucleotide deletion within exon 5 and intron 5. We found that the deletion causes the binding of splicing regulatory proteins to DR3 pre-mRNA intron 5, resulting in a portion of intron 5 becoming part of the coding sequence, thereby generating a premature stop codon. We also found that this truncated DR3 protein product lacks the death domain and forms a heterotrimer complex with wildtype DR3 that dominant-negatively inhibits ligand-induced apoptosis in lymphocytes. Myelocytes from transgenic mice expressing the human DR3 variant produced soluble truncated DR3, forming a complex with TNF-like ligand 1A (TL1A), which inhibited apoptosis induction. In summary, our results reveal that a DR3 splice variant that interferes with ligand-induced T cell responses and apoptosis may contribute to RA pathogenesis.
