COVID-19 severity gradient differentially dysregulates clinically relevant drug processing genes in nasopharyngeal swab samples. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2024; 90:2137-2158. [PMID: 38817198 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.16124] [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: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM Understanding how COVID-19 impacts the expression of clinically relevant drug metabolizing enzymes and membrane transporters (DMETs) is vital for addressing potential safety and efficacy concerns related to systemic and peripheral drug concentrations. This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 severity on DMETs expression and the underlying mechanisms to inform the design of precise clinical dosing regimens for affected patients. METHODS Transcriptomics analysis of 102 DMETs, 10 inflammatory markers, and 12 xenosensing regulatory genes was conducted on nasopharyngeal swabs from 50 SARS-CoV-2 positive (17 outpatients, 16 non-ICU, and 17 ICU) and 13 SARS-CoV-2 negative individuals, clinically tested through qPCR, in the Greater Toronto area from October 2020 to October 2021. RESULTS We observed a significant differential gene expression for 42 DMETs, 6 inflammatory markers, and 9 xenosensing regulatory genes. COVID-19 severity was associated with the upregulation of AKR1C1, MGST1, and SULT1E1, and downregulation of ABCC10, CYP3A43, and SLC29A4 expressions. Altogether, SARS-CoV-2-positive patients showed an upregulation in CYP2C9, CYP2C19, AKR1C1, SULT1B1, SULT2B1, and SLCO4A1 and downregulation in FMO5, MGST3, ABCC5, and SLCO4C1 compared with SARS-CoV-2 negative individuals. These dysregulations were associated with significant changes in the expression of inflammatory and xenosensing regulatory genes driven by the disease. GSTM3, PPARA, and AKR1C1 are potential biomarkers of the observed DMETs dysregulation pattern in nasopharyngeal swabs of outpatients, non-ICU, and ICU patients, respectively. CONCLUSION The severity of COVID-19 is associated with the dysregulation of DMETs involved in processing commonly prescribed drugs, suggesting potential disease-drug interactions, especially for narrow therapeutic index drugs.

RECON gene disruption enhances host resistance to enable genome-wide evaluation of intracellular pathogen fitness during infection. mBio 2024; 15:e0133224. [PMID: 38940553 PMCID: PMC11323731 DOI: 10.1128/mbio.01332-24] [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: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Transposon sequencing (Tn-seq) is a powerful genome-wide technique to assess bacterial fitness under varying growth conditions. However, screening via Tn-seq in vivo is challenging. Dose limitations and host restrictions create bottlenecks that diminish the transposon mutant pool being screened. Here, we have developed a murine model with a disruption in Akr1c13 that renders the resulting RECON-/- mouse resistant to high-dose infection. We leveraged this model to perform a Tn-seq screen of the human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes in vivo. We identified 135 genes which were required for L. monocytogenes growth in mice including novel genes not previously identified for host survival. We identified organ-specific requirements for L. monocytogenes survival and investigated the role of the folate enzyme FolD in L. monocytogenes liver pathogenesis. A mutant lacking folD was impaired for growth in murine livers by 2.5-log10 compared to wild type and failed to spread cell-to-cell in fibroblasts. In contrast, a mutant in alsR, which encodes a transcription factor that represses an operon involved in D-allose catabolism, was attenuated in both livers and spleens of mice by 4-log10 and 3-log10, respectively, but showed modest phenotypes in in vitro models. We confirmed that dysregulation of the D-allose catabolism operon is responsible for the in vivo growth defect, as deletion of the operon in the ∆alsR background rescued virulence. By undertaking an unbiased, genome-wide screen in mice, we have identified novel fitness determinants for L. monocytogenes host infection, which highlights the utility of the RECON-/- mouse model for future screening efforts. IMPORTANCE Listeria monocytogenes is the gram-positive bacterium responsible for the food-borne disease listeriosis. Although infections with L. monocytogenes are limiting in healthy hosts, vulnerable populations, including pregnant and elderly people, can experience high rates of mortality. Thus, understanding the breadth of genetic requirements for L. monocytogenes in vivo survival will present new opportunities for treatment and prevention of listeriosis. We developed a murine model of infection using a RECON-/- mouse that is restrictive to systemic L. monocytogenes infection. We utilized this model to screen for L. monocytogenes genes required in vivo via transposon sequencing. We identified the liver-specific gene folD and a repressor, alsR, that only exhibits an in vivo growth defect. AlsR controls the expression of the D-allose operon which is a marker in diagnostic techniques to identify pathogenic Listeria. A better understanding of the role of the D-allose operon in human disease may further inform diagnostic and prevention measures.

Abstract
Altered human aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 (AKR1C3) expression has been associated with poor prognosis in diverse cancers, ferroptosis resistance, and metabolic diseases. Despite its clinical significance, the endogenous biochemical roles of AKR1C3 remain incompletely defined. Using untargeted metabolomics, we identified a major transformation mediated by AKR1C3, in which a spermine oxidation product "sperminal" is reduced to "sperminol." Sperminal causes DNA damage and activates the DNA double-strand break response, whereas sperminol induces autophagy in vitro. AKR1C3 also pulls down acyl-pyrones and pyrone-211 inhibits AKR1C3 activity. Through G protein-coupled receptor ligand screening, we determined that pyrone-211 is also a potent agonist of the semi-orphan receptor GPR84. Strikingly, mammalian fatty acid synthase produces acyl-pyrones in vitro, and this production is modulated by NADPH. Taken together, our studies support a regulatory role of AKR1C3 in an expanded polyamine pathway and a model linking fatty acid synthesis and NADPH levels to GPR84 signaling.

Abstract
The therapeutic targeting of ferroptosis requires full understanding of the molecular mechanism of this regulated cell death pathway. While lipid-derived electrophiles (LDEs), including 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), are important biomarkers of ferroptosis, a functional role for these highly reactive species in ferroptotic cell death execution has not been established. Here, through mechanistic characterization of LDE-detoxification impairment, we demonstrate that LDEs mediate altered protein function during ferroptosis. Applying live cell fluorescence imaging, we first identified that export of glutathione-LDE-adducts through multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) channels is inhibited following exposure to a panel of ferroptosis inducers (FINs) with different modes of action (type I-IV FINs erastin, RSL3, FIN56, and FINO2). This channel inhibition was recreated by both initiation of lipid peroxidation and treatment with 4-HNE. Importantly, treatment with radical-trapping antioxidants prevented impaired LDE-adduct export when working with both FINs and lipid peroxidation initiators but not 4-HNE, pinpointing LDEs as the cause of this inhibited MRP activity observed during ferroptosis. Our findings, when combined with reports of widespread LDE alkylation of key proteins following ferroptosis induction, including MRP1, set a precedent for LDEs as critical mediators of ferroptotic cell damage. Lipid hydroperoxide breakdown to form truncated phospholipids and LDEs may fully explain membrane permeabilization and modified protein function downstream of lipid peroxidation, offering a unified explanation of the molecular cell death mechanism of ferroptosis.

Lan YW, Chen WR, Chang GRL, Chen YC, Chong KY, Chuang KC, Kao YT, Chen MS, Chen CM. Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member A1 (AKR1A1) exerts a protective function in alcohol-associated liver disease by reducing 4-HNE accumulation and p53 activation. Cell Biosci 2024; 14:18. [PMID: 38308335 PMCID: PMC10837880 DOI: 10.1186/s13578-024-01200-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is influenced by the amount and duration of alcohol consumption. The resulting liver damage can range from reversible stages, such as steatosis, steatohepatitis and alcoholic fibrosis, to the advanced and irreversible stage of cirrhosis. Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member A1 (AKR1A1) is a member of the aldo-keto reductase family that catalyzes the reduction of aldehyde groups to their corresponding alcohols in an NADPH-dependent manner. AKR1A1 was found to be downregulated in patients diagnosed with ALD. This study aims to interpret the protective effects of AKR1A1 on the development of ALD. METHODS A 5% alcohol-fed (AF) Akr1a1 knockout (Akr1a1-/-) mouse model and an AML12 hepatocyte model were used. The effects of AKR1A1 on liver function, inflammation, oxidative stress, lipid accumulation, and fibrosis were assessed by ELISA, western blotting, RT‒PCR, and a variety of histological staining methods in AF-induced wild-type (WT) and Akr1a1-/- mice compared to control liquid diet-fed (PF) WT and Akr1a1-/- mice. RESULTS The results demonstrated that AF-WT mice expressed higher levels of AKR1A1 than WT mice fed a control diet, and they did not show any noticeable liver steatosis. However, AF-Akr1a1-/- mice displayed a lower survival rate and more severe liver injury than AF-WT mice, as demonstrated by increased proinflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, lipid accumulation, fibrosis, and reduced antioxidant enzymes in their livers. Additionally, elevated levels of 4-HNE and p53 phosphorylation were observed in AF-Akr1a1-/- mice, suggesting that the loss of AKR1A1 led to increased 4-HNE accumulation and subsequent activation of p53, which contributed to the progression of ALD. Furthermore, in AML12 hepatocytes, Akr1a1 knockdown aggravated oxidative stress and steatosis induced by palmitic acid/oleic acid (P/O) inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and fibrosis induced by TGF-β1. CONCLUSIONS This loss-of-function study suggests that AKR1A1 plays a liver-protective role during chronic alcohol consumption by reducing the accumulation of 4-HNE and inhibiting 4-HNE-mediated p53 activation.

Abstract
Glioma, as the most frequently occurring primary malignancy in the central nervous system, significantly impacts patients' quality of life and cognitive abilities. Ferroptosis, a newly discovered form of cell death, is characterized by significant iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. This process is fundamentally dependent on iron. Various factors inducing ferroptosis can either directly or indirectly influence glutathione peroxidase, leading to reduced antioxidant capabilities and an increase in lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) within cells, culminating in oxidative cell death. Recent research indicates a strong connection between ferroptosis and a range of pathophysiological conditions, including tumors, neurological disorders, ischemia-reperfusion injuries, kidney damage, and hematological diseases. The regulation of ferroptosis to intervene in the progression of these diseases has emerged as a major area of interest in etiological research and therapy. However, the exact functional alterations and molecular mechanisms underlying ferroptosis remain to be extensively studied. The review firstly explores the intricate relationship between ferroptosis and glioma, highlighting how ferroptosis contributes to glioma pathogenesis and how glioma cells may resist this form of cell death. Then, we discuss recent studies that have identified potential ferroptosis inducers and inhibitors, which could serve as novel therapeutic strategies for glioma. We also examine the current challenges in targeting ferroptosis in glioma treatment, including the complexity of its regulation and the need for precise delivery methods. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on ferroptosis in glioma, offering insights into future therapeutic strategies and the broader implications of this novel cell death pathway in cancer biology.

Abstract
The process of ferroptosis, a recently identified form of regulated cell death (RCD) is associated with the overloading of iron species and lipid-derived ROS accumulation. Ferroptosis is induced by various mechanisms such as inhibiting system Xc, glutathione depletion, targeting excess iron, and directly inhibiting GPX4 enzyme. Also, ferroptosis inhibition is achieved by blocking excessive lipid peroxidation by targeting different pathways. These mechanisms are often related to the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. Fundamentally distinct from other forms of cell death, such as necrosis and apoptosis, ferroptosis differs in terms of biochemistry, functions, and morphology. The mechanism by which ferroptosis acts as a regulatory factor in many diseases remains elusive. Studying the activation and inhibition of ferroptosis as a means to mitigate the progression of various diseases is a highly intriguing and actively researched topic. It has emerged as a focal point in etiological research and treatment strategies. This review systematically summarizes the different mechanisms involved in the inhibition and induction of ferroptosis. We have extensively explored different agents that can induce or inhibit ferroptosis. This review offers current perspectives on recent developments in ferroptosis research, highlighting the disease's etiology and presenting references to enhance its understanding. It also explores new targets for the treatment of cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is characterized by hepatocyte injury, cholestasis injury, and mixed injury. The liver transplantation is required for serious clinical outcomes such as acute liver failure. Current studies have found that many mechanisms were involved in DILI, such as mitochondrial oxidative stress, apoptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, ferroptosis, etc. Ferroptosis occurs when hepatocytes die from iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and plays a key role in DILI. After entry into the liver, where some drugs or chemicals are metabolized, they convert into hepatotoxic substances, consume reduced glutathione (GSH), and decrease the reductive capacity of GSH-dependent GPX4, leading to redox imbalance in hepatocytes and increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation level, leading to the undermining of hepatocytes; some drugs facilitated the autophagy of ferritin, orchestrating the increased ion level and ferroptosis. The purpose of this review is to summarize the role of ferroptosis in chemical- or drug-induced liver injury (chemical/DILI) and how natural products inhibit ferroptosis to prevent chemical/DILI.

Abstract
Under the exposure of lipids to reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation proceeds non-enzymatically and generates an extremely heterogeneous mixture of reactive carbonyl species (RCS). Among them, HNE, HHE, MDA, methylglyoxal, glyoxal, and acrolein are the most studied and/or abundant ones. Over the last decades, significant progress has been achieved in understanding mechanisms of RCS generation, protein/DNA adduct formation, and their identification and quantification in biological samples. In our review, we critically discuss the advancements in understanding the roles of RCS-induced protein/DNA modifications in signaling switches to provide adaptive cell response under physiological and oxidative stress conditions. At non-toxic concentrations, RCS modify susceptible Cys residue in c-Src to activate MAPK signaling and Cys, Lys, and His residues in PTEN to cause its reversible inactivation, thereby stimulating PI3K/PKB(Akt) pathway. RCS toxic concentrations cause irreversible Cys modifications in Keap1 and IKKβ followed by stabilization of Nrf2 and activation of NF-κB, respectively, for their nuclear translocation and antioxidant gene expression. Dysregulation of these mechanisms causes diseases including cancer. Alterations in RCS, RCS detoxifying enzymes, RCS-modified protein/DNA adducts, and signaling pathways have been implicated in various cancer types.

Abstract
Zika virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a global health issue, yet neither antiviral therapy nor a vaccine are available. ZIKV is an enveloped RNA virus, replicating in the cytoplasm in close association with ER membranes. Here, we isolate ER membranes from ZIKV-infected cells and determine their proteome. Forty-six host cell factors are enriched in ZIKV remodeled membranes, several of these having a role in redox and methylation pathways. Four proteins are characterized in detail: thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1) contributing to folding of disulfide bond containing proteins and modulating ZIKV secretion; aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 (AKR1C3), regulating capsid protein abundance and thus, ZIKV assembly; biliverdin reductase B (BLVRB) involved in ZIKV induced lipid peroxidation and increasing stability of viral transmembrane proteins; adenosylhomocysteinase (AHCY) indirectly promoting m6A methylation of ZIKV RNA by decreasing the level of S- adenosyl homocysteine and thus, immune evasion. These results highlight the involvement of redox and methylation enzymes in the ZIKV life cycle and their accumulation at virally remodeled ER membranes.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease can develop from kidney injury incident to chemotherapy with cisplatin, which complicates the prognosis of cancer patients. MicroRNAs regulate gene expression by pairing with specific sets of messenger RNAs. Therefore, elucidating direct physical interactions between microRNAs and their target messenger RNAs can help decipher crucial biological processes associated with cisplatin-induced kidney injury. Through intermolecular ligation and transcriptome-wide sequencing, we here identify direct pairs of microRNAs and their target messenger RNAs in the kidney of male mice injured by cisplatin. We find that a group of cisplatin-induced microRNAs can target select messenger RNAs that affect the mitochondrial metabolic pathways in the injured kidney. Specifically, a cisplatin-induced microRNA, miR-429-3p, suppresses the pathway that catabolizes branched-chain amino acids in the proximal tubule, leading to cell death dependent on lipid peroxidation, called ferroptosis. Identification of miRNA-429-3p-mediated ferroptosis stimulation suggests therapeutic potential for modulating the branched-chain amino acid pathway in ameliorating cisplatin-induced kidney injury.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by chronic neuroinflammation with amyloid beta-protein deposition and hyperphosphorylated tau protein. The typical clinical manifestation of AD is progressive memory impairment, and AD is considered a multifactorial disease with various etiologies (genetic factors, aging, lifestyle, etc.) and complicated pathophysiological processes. Previous research identified that neuroinflammation and typical microglial activation are significant mechanisms underlying AD, resulting in dysfunction of the nervous system and progression of the disease. Ferroptosis is a novel modality involved in this process. As an iron-dependent form of cell death, ferroptosis, characterized by iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and irreversible plasma membrane disruption, promotes AD by accelerating neuronal dysfunction and abnormal microglial activation. In this case, disturbances in brain iron homeostasis and neuronal ferroptosis aggravate neuroinflammation and lead to the abnormal activation of microglia. Abnormally activated microglia release various pro-inflammatory factors that aggravate the dysregulation of iron homeostasis and neuroinflammation, forming a vicious cycle. In this review, we first introduce ferroptosis, microglia, AD, and their relationship. Second, we discuss the nonnegligible role of ferroptosis in the abnormal microglial activation involved in the chronic neuroinflammation of AD to provide new ideas for the identification of potential therapeutic targets for AD.

Abstract
It is strongly established that metabolic reprogramming mediates the initiation, progression, and metastasis of a variety of cancers. However, there is no common biomarker identified to link the dysregulated metabolism and cancer progression. Recent studies strongly advise the involvement of aldose reductase (AR) in cancer metabolism. AR-mediated glucose metabolism creates a Warburg-like effect and an acidic tumour microenvironment in cancer cells. Moreover, AR overexpression is associated with the impairment of mitochondria and the accumulation of free fatty acids in cancer cells. Further, AR-mediated reduction of lipid aldehydes and chemotherapeutics are involved in the activation of factors promoting proliferation and chemo-resistance. In this review, we have delineated the possible mechanisms by which AR modulates cellular metabolism for cancer proliferation and survival. An in-depth understanding of cancer metabolism and the role of AR might lead to the use of AR inhibitors as metabolic modulating agents for the therapy of cancer.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered type of cell death and has recently been shown to be associated with asthma. However, the relationship between them at the genetic level has not been elucidated via informatics analysis. In this study, bioinformatics analyses are conducted using asthma and ferroptosis datasets to identify candidate ferroptosis-related genes using the R software. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis is performed to identify co-expressed genes. Protein-protein interaction networks, the Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes, and gene ontology enrichment analysis are used to identify the potential functions of the candidate genes. We experimentally validate the results of our analysis using small interfering RNAs and plasmids to silence and upregulate the expression of the candidate gene in human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B). The ferroptosis signature levels are examined. Bioinformatics analysis of the asthma dataset GDS4896 shows that the level of the aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 (AKR1C3) gene in the peripheral blood of patients with severe therapy-resistant asthma and controlled persistent mild asthma (MA) is significantly upregulated. The AUC values for asthma diagnosis and MA are 0.823 and 0.915, respectively. The diagnostic value of AKR1C3 is verified using the GSE64913 dataset. The gene module of AKR1C3 is evident in MA and functions through redox reactions and metabolic processes. Ferroptosis indicators are downregulated by the overexpression of AKR1C3 and upregulated by silencing AKR1C3. The ferroptosis-related gene AKR1C3 can be used as a diagnostic biomarker for asthma, particularly for MA, and regulates ferroptosis in BEAS-2B cells.

Abstract
Genes that participate in the degradation or isolation of glyphosate in plants are promising, for they endow crops with herbicide tolerance with a low glyphosate residue. Recently, the aldo-keto reductase (AKR4) gene in Echinochloa colona (EcAKR4) was identified as a naturally evolved glyphosate-metabolism enzyme. Here, we compared the glyphosate-degradation ability of theAKR4 proteins from maize, soybean and rice, which belong to a clade containing EcAKR4 in the phylogenetic tree, by incubation of glyphosate with AKR proteins both in vivo and in vitro. The results indicated that, except for OsALR1, the other proteins were characterized as glyphosate-metabolism enzymes, with ZmAKR4 ranked the highest activity, and OsAKR4-1 and OsAKR4-2 exhibiting the highest activity among the AKR4 family in rice. Moreover, OsAKR4-1 was confirmed to endow glyphosate-tolerance at the plant level. Our study provides information on the mechanism underlying the glyphosate-degradation ability of AKR proteins in crops, which enables the development of glyphosate-resistant crops with a low glyphosate residue, mediated by AKRs.

Abstract
Hormones have been considered as key factors involved in the maintenance of the redox status of the body. We are making considerable progress in understanding interactions between the endocrine system, redox status, and oxidative stress with the dynamics of life, which encompasses fertilization, development, growth, aging, and various pathophysiological states. One of the reasons for changes in redox states of vertebrates leading to oxidative stress scenario is the disruption of the endocrine system. Comprehending the dynamics of hormonal status to redox state and oxidative stress in living systems is challenging. It is more difficult to come to a unifying conclusion when some hormones exhibit oxidant properties while others have antioxidant features. There is a very limited approach to correlate alteration in titers of hormones with redox status and oxidative stress with growth, development, aging, and pathophysiological stress. The situation is further complicated when considering various tissues and sexes in vertebrates. This chapter discusses the beneficial impacts of hormones with antioxidative properties, such as melatonin, glucagon, insulin, estrogens, and progesterone, which protect cells from oxidative damage and reduce pathophysiological effects. Additionally, we discuss the protective effects of antioxidants like vitamins A, E, and C, curcumin, tempol, N-acetyl cysteine, α-lipoic acid, date palm pollen extract, resveratrol, and flavonoids on oxidative stress triggered by hormones such as aldosterone, glucocorticoids, thyroid hormones, and catecholamines. Inflammation, pathophysiology, and the aging process can all be controlled by understanding how antioxidants and hormones operate together to maintain cellular redox status. Identifying the hormonal changes and the action of antioxidants may help in developing new therapeutic strategies for hormonal imbalance-related disorders.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer is a common gynecological malignancy. With the onset of EC patients younger, conservative treatment with progesterone has become an important option for patients trying to preserve reproductive function. However, progesterone resistance is a key factor affecting the efficacy of therapy and it is urgent to clarify the mechanism so as to propose a potential target and inhibit the development of endometrial adenocarcinoma and progesterone resistance. MGLL, an important factor involved in lipid mobilization, is overexpressed in many tumors, however the biological function of MGLL in the development of endometrial adenocarcinoma and the process of progesterone resistance still remains unclear. In this study, we first found MGLL was highly expressed in progesterone resistant samples of endometrial adenocarcinoma, and then we verified its expression was increased in endometrial adenocarcinoma. Through in vitro and in vivo experiments, we demonstrated that overexpression of MGLL promoted tumor proliferation, metastasis and the occurrence of progestogen resistance, knockdown MGLL inhibited tumor proliferation, metastasis and reversed progestogen resistance. In addition, knockdown of MGLL can sensitize endometrial adenocarcinoma cells to progesterone, possibly by affecting ROS generation and reducing the expression of AKR1C1. Finally, it was verified that ABX-1431, MGLL inhibitor, reversed progesterone resistance and enhanced the sensitivity of endometrial adenocarcinoma to progesterone both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, the high expression of MGLL is involved in the occurrence and development of endometrial adenocarcinoma and progesterone resistance. Targeted inhibition of MGLL by inhibitors may be an effective method for the treatment of progesterone resistance in endometrial adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Stem and progenitor cells of hematopoietic and mesenchymal lineages reside in the bone marrow under low oxygen (O2) saturation. O2 levels used in ex vivo expansion of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) affect proliferation, metabolism and differentiation. METHODS Using cell-based assays and transcriptome and proteome data, the authors compared MSC cultures simultaneously grown under a conventional 19.95% O2 atmosphere or at 5% O2. RESULTS In 5% O2, MSCs showed better proliferation and higher self-renewal ability, most probably sustained by enhanced signaling activity of mitogen-activated protein kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin pathways. Non-oxidative glycolysis-based energy metabolism supported growth and proliferation in 5% O2 cultures, whereas MSCs grown under 19.95% O2 also utilized oxidative phosphorylation. Cytoprotection mechanisms used by cells under 5% O2 differed from 19.95% O2 suggesting differences in the triggers of cell stress between these two O2 conditions. CONCLUSIONS Based on the potential benefits for the growth and metabolism of MSCs, the authors propose the use of 5% O2 for MSC culture.

Abstract
In this study, we present the synthesis, kinetic studies of inhibitory activity toward aldo-keto reductase 1C (AKR1C) enzymes, and anticancer potential toward chemoresistant ovarian cancer of 10 organoruthenium compounds bearing diketonate (1–6) and hydroxyquinolinate (7–10) chelating ligands with the general formula [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(chel)(X)]n+ where chel represents the chelating ligand and X the chlorido or pta ligand. Our studies show that these compounds are potent inhibitors of the AKR enzymes with an uncommon inhibitory mechanism, where two inhibitor molecules bind to the enzyme in a first fast and reversible step and a second slower and irreversible step. The binding potency of each step is dependent on the chemical structure of the monodentate ligands in the metalloinhibitors with the chlorido complexes generally acting as reversible inhibitors and pta complexes as irreversible inhibitors. Our study also shows that compounds 1–9 have a moderate yet better anti-proliferative and anti-migration action on the chemoresistant ovarian cancer cell line COV362 compared to carboplatin and similar effects to cisplatin.

J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 2022; 221:106113.

Abstract
Most members of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) 1 C subfamily are hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (HSDs). Similarly to humans, four genes for AKR1C proteins (AKR1C1-AKR1C4) have been identified in the pig, which is a suitable species for biomedical research model of human diseases and optimal organ donor for xenotransplantation. Previous study suggested that, among the porcine AKR1Cs, AKR1C1 and AKR1C4 play important roles in steroid hormone metabolism in the reproductive tissues; however, their biological functions are still unknown. Herein, we report the biochemical properties of the two recombinant enzymes. Kinetic and product analyses of steroid specificity indicated that AKR1C1 is a multi-specific reductase, which acts as 3α-HSD for 3-keto-5β-dihydro-C19/C21-steroids, 3β-HSD for 3-keto-5α-dihydro-C19-steroids including androstenone, 17β-HSD for 17-keto-C19-steroids including estrone, and 20α-HSD for progesterone, showing Km values of 0.5-11 µM. By contrast, AKR1C4 exhibited only 3α-HSD activity for 3-keto groups of 5α/β-dihydro-C19-steroids, 5β-dihydro-C21-steroids and bile acids (Km: 1.0-1.9 µM). AKR1C1 and AKR1C4 also showed broad substrate specificity for nonsteroidal carbonyl compounds including endogenous 4-oxo-2-nonenal, 4-hydroxy-nonenal, acrolein, isocaproaldehyde, farnesal, isatin and methylglyoxal, of which 4-oxo-2-nonenal was reduced with the lowest Km value of 0.9 µM. Moreover, AKR1C1 had the characteristic of reducing aliphatic ketones and all-trans-retinal. The enzymes were inhibited by flavonoids, synthetic estrogens, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, triterpenoids and phenolphthalein, whereas only AKR1C4 was activated by bromosulfophthalein. These results suggest that AKR1C1 and AKR1C4 function as 3α/3β/17β/20α-HSD and 3α-HSD, respectively, in metabolism of steroid hormones and a sex pheromone androstenone, both of which also play roles in metabolism of nonsteroidal carbonyl compounds.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate circadian clock oscillation and circadian global gene expression in cultured human corneal endothelial cells (cHCECs) to elucidate and assess the potential function of circadian regulation in HCECs. Methods In this study, we introduced a circadian bioluminescence reporter, Bmal1:luciferase (Bmal1:luc), into cHCECs and subsequently monitored real-time bioluminescence rhythms. RNA-sequencing data analysis was then performed using sequential time-course samples of the cHCECs to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the circadian gene expression rhythms. The potential relevance of rhythmically expressed genes was then assessed by systematic approaches using functional clustering and individual gene annotations. Results Bmal1:luc bioluminescence exhibited clear circadian oscillation in the cHCECs. The core clock genes and clock-related genes showed high-amplitude robust circadian messenger RNA (mRNA) expression rhythms in cHCECs after treatment with dexamethasone, and 329 genes that exhibited circadian mRNA expression rhythms were identified (i.e., genes involved in various physiological processes including glycolysis, mitochondrial function, antioxidative systems, hypoxic responses, apoptosis, and extracellular matrix regulation, which represent the physiological functions of HCECs). Conclusions Our findings revealed that cHCECs have a robust and functional circadian clock, and our discovery that a large number of genes exhibit circadian mRNA expression rhythms in cHCECs suggests a potential contribution of circadian regulation to fine-tune HCEC functions for daily changes in the environment.

Abstract
Signet ring cell gastric carcinoma (SRCGC) is a lethal malignancy that has developed drug resistance to cisplatin therapies. The aim of this study was to characterize the acquisition of the cisplatin-resistance SRCGC cell line (KATO/DDP cells) and to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cisplatin resistance. Transcriptomic and bioinformatic analyses were used to identify the candidate gene. This was confirmed by qPCR and Western blot. Aldoketoreductase1C1 and 1C3 (AKR1C1 and AKR1C3) were the most promising molecules in KATO/DDP cells. A specific inhibitor of AKR1C1 (5PBSA) and AKR1C3 (ASP9521) was used to enhance cisplatin-induced KATO/DPP cell death. Although cisplatin alone induced KATO/DDP apoptosis, a combination treatment of cisplatin and the AKR1C inhibitors had no influence on percent cell apoptosis. In conjunction with the autophagy inhibitor, 3MA, attenuated the effects of 5PBSA or ASP9521 to enhance cisplatin-induced cell death. These results indicated that AKR1C1 and 1C3 regulated cisplatin-induced KATO/DDP cell death via autophagy. Moreover, cisplatin in combination with AKR1C inhibitors and N-acetyl cysteine increased KATO/DDP cells' viability when compared with a combination treatment of cisplatin and the inhibitors. Taken together, our results suggested that AKR1C1 and 1C3 play a crucial role in cisplatin resistance of SRCGC by regulating redox-dependent autophagy.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is widely prescribed for the treatment of various cancers including bladder cancers, whereas its clinical use for breast cancer chemotherapy is restricted owing to easy acquisition of the chemoresistance. Here, we established a highly CDDP-resistant variant of human breast cancer MCF7 cells and found that procuring the resistance aberrantly elevates the expression of aldo-keto reductase (AKR) 1C3. Additionally, MCF7 cell sensitivity to CDDP was decreased and increased by overexpression and knockdown, respectively, of AKR1C3, clearly inferring that the enzyme plays a crucial role in acquiring the CDDP resistance. The CDDP-resistant cells suppressed the formation of cytotoxic reactive aldehydes by CDDP treatment, and the suppressive effects were almost completely abolished by pretreating with AKR1C3 inhibitor. The resistant cells also exhibited the elevated glutathione amount and 26S proteasomal proteolytic activities, and their CDDP sensitivity was significantly augmented by pretreatment with an inhibitor of glutathione synthesis or proteasomal proteolysis. Moreover, the combined treatment with inhibitors of AKR1C3, glutathione synthesis, and/or proteasomal proteolysis potently overcame the CDDP resistance and docetaxel cross-resistance. Taken together, our results suggest that the combination of inhibitors of AKR1C3, glutathione synthesis, and/or proteasomal proteolysis is effective as an adjuvant therapy to enhance CDDP sensitivity of breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a respiratory tract disease characterized by increased alveolar/capillary permeability, lung inflammation and structural damage to lung tissues, which can progress and transform into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Although there are several treatment strategies available to manage this condition, there is still no specific cure for ALI. Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C1 (AKR1C1) is a member of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily, and is a well-known Nrf2 target gene and an oxidative stress gene. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of AKR1C1 on a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI model. After mice received LPS treatment, the mRNA expression levels of AKR1C1 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and serum were measured using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and its relationship with the inflammatory factors and malondialdehyde levels were determined using correlation analysis. Next, AKR1C1 was overexpressed or knocked out in mice, and subsequently ALI was induced in mice using LPS. The severity of ALI, oxidative stress and inflammation in the lungs were measured, and the potential involvement of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transduction activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway was assessed by measuring the changes of lung injury parameters after the agonists of JAK2/STAT3 pathway, including interleukin (IL)-6 and colivelin, were administrated to mice. The results revealed that AKR1C1 expression was decreased in the LPS-induced ALI mouse model. AKR1C1 expression was inversely correlated with serum tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-6 and malondialdehyde levels, and positively correlated with serum IL-10 levels. AKR1C1 overexpression significantly attenuated lung injury, as shown by the changes in Evans blue leakage in the lung, lung wet/dry weight ratio, PaO2/FIO2 ratio, survival rate of mice and histological lung changes. In addition, the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway was significantly deactivated by AKR1C1+/+. When AKR1C1+/+ mice were treated with JAK2/STAT3 agonists, the effects of AKR1C1 overexpression on lung injury and oxidative stress were abolished. In conclusion, AKR1C1 may protect against oxidative stress and serve as a negative regulator of inflammation in ALI/ARDS. In addition, the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway could participate in the protective effects of AKR1C1 against ALI.

Abstract
Human aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) catalyze the NADPH-dependent reduction of carbonyl groups to alcohols for conjugation reactions to proceed. They are implicated in resistance to cancer chemotherapeutic agents either because they are directly involved in their metabolism or help eradicate the cellular stress created by these agents (e.g., reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxides). Furthermore, this cellular stress activates the Nuclear factor-erythroid 2 p45-related factor 2 (NRF2)-Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 pathway. As many human AKR genes are upregulated by the NRF2 transcription factor, this leads to a feed-forward mechanism to enhance drug resistance. Resistance to major classes of chemotherapeutic agents (anthracyclines, mitomycin, cis-platin, antitubulin agents, vinca alkaloids, and cyclophosphamide) occurs by this mechanism. Human AKRs also catalyze the synthesis of androgens and estrogens and the elimination of progestogens and are involved in hormonal-dependent malignancies. They are upregulated by antihormonal therapy providing a second mechanism for cancer drug resistance. Inhibitors of the NRF2 system or pan-AKR1C inhibitors offer promise to surmount cancer drug resistance and/or synergize the effects of existing drugs. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are overexpressed in a large number of human tumors and mediate resistance to cancer chemotherapeutics and antihormonal therapies. Existing drugs and new agents in development may surmount this resistance by acting as specific AKR isoforms or AKR pan-inhibitors to improve clinical outcome.

Abstract
Significance: Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that has an intricate relationship with cancer and has been studied for more than 60 years. However, the specific mechanisms that allow malignant cells to uptake, metabolize, and compartmentalize vitamin C remain unclear. In normal human cells, two different transporter systems are responsible for its acquisition: glucose transporters (GLUTs) transport the oxidized form of vitamin C (dehydroascorbic acid) and sodium-coupled ascorbic acid transporters (SVCTs) transport the reduced form (ascorbic acid [AA]). In this study, we review the mechanisms described for vitamin C uptake and metabolization in cancer. Recent Advances: Several studies performed recently in vivo and in vitro have provided the scientific community a better understanding of the differential capacities of cancer cells to acquire vitamin C: tumors from different origins do not express SVCTs in the plasma membrane and are only able to acquire vitamin C in its oxidized form. Interestingly, cancer cells differentially express a mitochondrial form of SVCT2. Critical Issues: Why tumors have reduced AA uptake capacity at the plasma membrane, but develop the capacity of AA transport within mitochondria, remains a mystery. However, it shows that understanding vitamin C physiology in tumor survival might be key to decipher the controversies in its relationship with cancer. Future Directions: A comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms by which cancer cells acquire, compartmentalize, and use vitamin C will allow the design of new therapeutic approaches in human cancer.

Abstract
Chronic exposure to cathinone derivatives increases the risk of severe health hazards, whereas little is known about the detailed pathogenic mechanisms triggered by the derivatives. We have recently shown that treatment with α-pyrrolidinononanophenone (α-PNP, a highly lipophilic cathinone derivative possessing a long hydrocarbon main chain) provokes neuronal cell apoptosis and its 4'-fluorinated analog (F-α-PNP) potently augments the apoptotic effect. In this study, we found that neuronal SK-N-SH cell damage elicited by F-α-PNP treatment is augmented most potently by pre-incubation with an AKR1B1 inhibitor tolrestat, among specific inhibitors of four aldo-keto reductase (AKR) family members (1B1, 1C1, 1C2, and 1C3) expressed in the neuronal cells. In addition, forced overexpression of AKR1B1 remarkably lowered the cell sensitivity to F-α-PNP toxicity, clearly indicating that AKR1B1 protects from neurotoxicity of the derivative. Treatment of SK-N-SH cells with F-α-PNP resulted in a dose-dependent up-regulation of AKR1B1 expression and activation of its transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2. Metabolic analyses using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry revealed that AKR1B1 is hardly involved in the F-α-PNP metabolism. The F-α-PNP treatment resulted in production of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation byproduct 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) in the cells. The enhanced HNE level was reduced by overexpression of AKR1B1, which also lessened the cell damage elicited by HNE. These results suggest that the AKR1B1-mediated neuronal cell protection is due to detoxification of HNE formed by F-α-PNP treatment, but not to metabolism of the derivative.

Abstract
We provide an overview of the physiological roles of aldehyde reductase (AKR1A) and also discuss the functions of aldose reductase (AKR1B) and other family members when necessary. Many types of aldehyde compounds are cytotoxic and some are even carcinogenic. Such toxic aldehydes are detoxified via the action of AKR in an NADPH-dependent manner and the resulting products may exert anti-diabetic and anti-tumorigenic activity. AKR1A is capable of reducing 3-deoxyglucosone and methylglyoxal, which are reactive intermediates that are involved in glycation, a non-enzymatic glycosylation reaction. Accordingly, AKR1A is thought to suppress the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and prevent diabetic complications. AKR1A and, in part, AKR1B are responsible for the conversion of d-glucuronate to l-gulonate which constitutes a process for ascorbate (vitamin C) synthesis in competent animals. AKR1A is also involved in the reduction of S-nitrosylated glutathione and coenzyme A and thereby suppresses the protein S-nitrosylation that occurs under conditions in which the production of nitric oxide is stimulated. As the physiological functions of AKR1A are currently not completely understood, the genetic modification of Akr1a could reveal the latent functions of AKR1A and differentiate it from other family members.

Abstract
AKR1B10 is a human nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent reductase belonging to the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) 1B subfamily. It catalyzes the reduction of aldehydes, some ketones and quinones, and interacts with acetyl-CoA carboxylase and heat shock protein 90α. The enzyme is highly expressed in epithelial cells of the stomach and intestine, but down-regulated in gastrointestinal cancers and inflammatory bowel diseases. In contrast, AKR1B10 expression is low in other tissues, where the enzyme is upregulated in cancers, as well as in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and several skin diseases. In addition, the enzyme's expression is elevated in cancer cells resistant to clinical anti-cancer drugs. Thus, growing evidence supports AKR1B10 as a potential target for diagnosing and treating these diseases. Herein, we reviewed the literature on the roles of AKR1B10 in a healthy gastrointestinal tract, the development and progression of cancers and acquired chemoresistance, in addition to its gene regulation, functions, and inhibitors.

Abstract
Pathogens encounter numerous antimicrobial responses during infection, including
the reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst. ROS-mediated oxidation of host membrane
poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) generates the toxic alpha-beta carbonyl
4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE). Although studied extensively in the context of
sterile inflammation, research into 4-HNE’s role during infection remains
limited. Here, we found that 4-HNE is generated during bacterial infection, that
it impacts growth and survival in a range of bacteria, and that the
intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes induces many
genes in response to 4-HNE exposure. A component of the L.
monocytogenes 4-HNE response is the expression of the genes
lmo0103 and lmo0613, deemed
rha1 and rha2 (reductase of
host alkenals), respectively, which code for two
NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases that convert 4-HNE to the product
4-hydroxynonanal (4-HNA). Loss of these genes had no impact on L.
monocytogenes bacterial burdens during murine or tissue culture
infection. However, heterologous expression of rha1/2 in
Bacillus subtilis significantly increased bacterial
resistance to 4-HNE in vitro and promoted bacterial survival following
phagocytosis by murine macrophages in an ROS-dependent manner. Thus, Rha1 and
Rha2 are not necessary for 4-HNE resistance in L. monocytogenes
but are sufficient to confer resistance to an otherwise sensitive organism in
vitro and in host cells. Our work demonstrates that 4-HNE is a previously
unappreciated component of ROS-mediated toxicity encountered by bacteria within
eukaryotic hosts.

Abstract
Irinotecan (CPT11) is widely prescribed for treatment of various intractable cancers such as advanced and metastatic colon cancer cells, but its continuous treatment promotes the resistance development. In this study, we established CPT11-resistant variants of three human colon cancer (DLD1, RKO and LoVo) cell lines, and found that gain of the resistance elicited an up-regulation of aldo-keto reductase (AKR) 1C3 in the cells. Additionally, the sensitivity to CPT11 toxicity was decreased and increased by overexpression and knockdown, respectively, of the enzyme. Moreover, the resistant cells suppressed formation of reactive 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal by CPT11 treatment, and the suppressive effect was almost completely abolished by addition of an AKR1C3 inhibitor. These results suggest that up-regulated AKR1C3 contributes to promotion of the chemoresistance by detoxifying the reactive aldehyde. Western blot and real-time polymerase-chain reaction analyses and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) B1-functional assay revealed that, among three ABC transporters, ABCB1 was the most highly up-regulated by development of the CPT11 resistance, inferring a significant contribution of pregnane-X receptor-dependent signaling to the ABCB1 up-regulation. The combined treatment with inhibitors of AKR1C3 and ABCB1 potently sensitized the resistant cells to CPT11 and its active metabolite SN38. Taken together, our results suggest that combination of AKR1C3 and ABCB1 inhibitors is effective as adjuvant therapy to enhance CPT11 sensitivity of intractable colon cancer cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE In search of novel strategies to improve the outcome of advanced prostate cancer, we considered that prostate cancer cells rearrange iron homeostasis, favoring iron uptake and proliferation. We exploited this adaptation by exposing prostate cancer preclinical models to high-dose iron to induce toxicity and disrupt adaptation to androgen starvation. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We analyzed markers of cell viability and mechanisms underlying iron toxicity in androgen receptor-positive VCaP and LNCaP, castration-resistant DU-145 and PC-3, and murine TRAMP-C2 cells treated with iron and/or the antiandrogen bicalutamide. We validated the results in vivo in VCaP and PC-3 xenografts and in TRAMP-C2 injected mice treated with iron and/or bicalutamide. RESULTS Iron was toxic for all prostate cancer cells. In particular, VCaP, LNCaP, and TRAMP-C2 were highly iron sensitive. Toxicity was mediated by oxidative stress, which primarily affected lipids, promoting ferroptosis. In highly sensitive cells, iron additionally caused protein damage. High-basal iron content and oxidative status defined high iron sensitivity. Bicalutamide-iron combination exacerbated oxidative damage and cell death, triggering protein oxidation also in poorly iron-sensitive DU-145 and PC-3 cells.In vivo, iron reduced tumor growth in TRAMP-C2 and VCaP mice. In PC-3 xenografts, bicalutamide-iron combination caused protein oxidation and successfully impaired tumor expansion while single compounds were ineffective. Macrophages influenced body iron distribution but did not limit the iron effect on tumor expansion. CONCLUSIONS Our models allow us to dissect the direct iron effect on cancer cells. We demonstrate the proof of principle that iron toxicity inhibits prostate cancer cell proliferation, proposing a novel tool to strengthen antiandrogen treatment efficacy.

Abstract
Aldo-keto reductase family 1 (AKR1) enzymes play a crucial role in diabetic complications. Since type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with cancer progression, we investigated the impact of diabetes on AKR1 gene expression in the context of prostate cancer (PCa) development. In this study, we analyzed benign (BEN) prostate and PCa tissue of patients with and without T2D. Furthermore, to replicate hyperglycemia in vitro, we treated the prostate adenocarcinoma cell line PC3 with increasing glucose concentrations. Gene expression was quantified using real-time qPCR. In the prostate tissue of patients with T2D, AKR1C1 and AKR1C2 transcripts were higher compared to samples of patients without diabetes. In PC3 cells, high glucose treatment induced the gene expression levels of AKR1C1, C2, and C3. Furthermore, both in human tissue and in PC3 cells, the transcript levels of AKR1C1, C2, and C3 showed positive associations with oncogenes, which are involved in proliferation processes and HIF1α and NFκB pathways. These results indicate that in the prostate glands of patients with T2D, hyperglycemia could play a pivotal role by inducing the expression of AKR1C1, C2, and C3. The higher transcript level of AKR1C was furthermore associated with upregulated HIF1α and NFκB pathways, which are major drivers of PCa carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Aldo-keto reductase (AKR) 1C3 catalyzes the synthesis of active androgens that promote the progression of prostate cancer. AKR1C3 also contributes to androgen-independent cell proliferation and survival through the metabolism of prostaglandins and reactive aldehydes. Because of its elevation in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) tissues, AKR1C3 is a promising therapeutic target for CRPC. In this study, we found a novel potent AKR1C3 inhibitor, N-(4-fluorophenyl)-8-hydroxy-2-imino-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide (2d), and synthesized its derivatives with IC50 values of 25-56 nM and >220-fold selectivity over other AKRs (1C1, 1C2, and 1C4). The structural factors for the inhibitory potency were elucidated by crystallographic study of AKR1C3 complexes with 2j and 2l. The inhibitors suppressed proliferation of prostate cancer 22Rv1 and PC3 cells through both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent mechanisms. Additionally, 2j and 2l prevented prostate tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model. Furthermore, the inhibitors significantly augmented apoptotic cell death induced by anti-CRPC drugs (abiraterone or enzalutamide).

Abstract
Aging-associated loss of skeletal muscle mass and force increases the risk of falls, impairs mobility, and leads to a reduced quality of life. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is superior to moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) for improving morphological and metabolic adaptations of skeletal muscle in older adults, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Aged female rats underwent HIIT and MICT for 8 months, and their differential impacts on skeletal muscle proteome were investigated. HIIT resulted in a larger improvement in grip strength and fiber cross-sectional area, with similar increases in inclined plane performance and time to exhaustion. Proteomic analysis showed that common training adaptations of both protocols included changes to muscle contraction, focal adhesion signaling, mitochondrial function, apoptosis and regeneration, and anti-oxidation, whereas protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum and adipocytokine signaling were specifically altered in the MICT and HIIT groups, respectively. Immunoblotting showed that upregulation of the adiponectin/AMPK signaling pathway may be associated with improvements in autophagy, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and apoptosis in aged skeletal muscle following HIIT. Thus, understanding the molecular differences in training adaptations from these two exercise modalities may aid in combatting sarcopenia.

Abstract
Nonapoptotic cell death is important for human health and disease. Here, we show how various tools and techniques drawn from the chemical biology field have played a central role in the discovery and characterization of nonapoptotic cell death pathways. Focusing on the example of ferroptosis, we describe how phenotypic screening, chemoproteomics, chemical genetic analysis, and other methods enabled the elucidation of this pathway. Synthetic small-molecule inducers and inhibitors of ferroptosis identified in early studies have now been leveraged to identify an even broader set of compounds that affect ferroptosis and to validate new chemical methods and probes for various ferroptosis-associated processes. A number of limitations associated with specific chemical biology tools or techniques have also emerged and must be carefully considered. Nevertheless, the study of ferroptosis provides a roadmap for how chemical biology methods may be used to discover and characterize nonapoptotic cell death mechanisms.

Abstract
Lipids can undergo modification as a result of interaction with reactive oxygen species (ROS). For example, lipid peroxidation results in the production of a wide variety of highly reactive aldehyde species which can drive a range of disease-relevant responses in cells and tissues. Such lipid aldehydes react with nucleophilic groups on macromolecules including phospholipids, nucleic acids, and proteins which, in turn, leads to the formation of reversible or irreversible adducts known as advanced lipoxidation end products (ALEs). In the setting of diabetes, lipid peroxidation and ALE formation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of macro- and microvascular complications. As the most common diabetic complication, retinopathy is one of the leading causes of vision loss and blindness worldwide. Herein, we discuss diabetic retinopathy (DR) as a disease entity and review the current knowledge and experimental data supporting a role for lipid peroxidation and ALE formation in the onset and development of this condition. Potential therapeutic approaches to prevent lipid peroxidation and lipoxidation reactions in the diabetic retina are also considered, including the use of antioxidants, lipid aldehyde scavenging agents and pharmacological and gene therapy approaches for boosting endogenous aldehyde detoxification systems. It is concluded that further research in this area could lead to new strategies to halt the progression of DR before irreversible retinal damage and sight-threatening complications occur.

Abstract
Enzymatically oxidized lipids are a specific group of biomolecules that function as key signaling mediators and hormones, regulating various cellular and physiological processes from metabolism and cell death to inflammation and the immune response. They are broadly categorized as either polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) containing (free acid oxygenated PUFA "oxylipins", endocannabinoids, oxidized phospholipids) or cholesterol derivatives (oxysterols, steroid hormones, and bile acids). Their biosynthesis is accomplished by families of enzymes that include lipoxygenases (LOX), cyclooxygenases (COX), cytochrome P450s (CYP), and aldo-keto reductases (AKR). In contrast, non-enzymatically oxidized lipids are produced by uncontrolled oxidation and are broadly considered to be harmful. Here, we provide an overview of the biochemistry and enzymology of LOXs, COXs, CYPs, and AKRs in humans. Next, we present biosynthetic pathways for oxylipins, oxidized phospholipids, oxysterols, bile acids and steroid hormones. Last, we address gaps in knowledge and suggest directions for future work.

4-Hydroxy-Trans-2-Nonenal in the Regulation of Anti-Oxidative and Pro-Inflammatory Signaling Pathways. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:5937326.

Abstract
Recent studies indicate that 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (HNE), a major oxidative stress triggered lipid peroxidation-derived aldehyde, plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of various human pathologies including metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular, neurological, immunological, and age-related diseases and various types of cancer. HNE is the most abundant and toxic α, β-unsaturated aldehyde formed during the peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in a series of free radical-mediated reactions. The presence of an aldehyde group at C1, a double bond between C2 and C3 and a hydroxyl group at C4 makes HNE a highly reactive molecule. These strong reactive electrophilic groups favor the formation of HNE adducts with cellular macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids leading to the regulation of various cell signaling pathways and processes involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Many studies suggest that the cell-specific intracellular concentrations of HNE dictate the anti-oxidative and pro-inflammatory activities of this important molecule. In this review, we focused on how HNE could alter multiple anti-oxidative defense pathways and pro-inflammatory cytotoxic pathways by interacting with various cell-signaling intermediates.

Abstract
Oxygen is necessary for aerobic metabolism but can cause the harmful oxidation of lipids and other macromolecules. Oxidation of cholesterol and phospholipids containing polyunsaturated fatty acyl chains can lead to lipid peroxidation, membrane damage, and cell death. Lipid hydroperoxides are key intermediates in the process of lipid peroxidation. The lipid hydroperoxidase glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) converts lipid hydroperoxides to lipid alcohols, and this process prevents the iron (Fe2+ )-dependent formation of toxic lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS). Inhibition of GPX4 function leads to lipid peroxidation and can result in the induction of ferroptosis, an iron-dependent, non-apoptotic form of cell death. This review describes the formation of reactive lipid species, the function of GPX4 in preventing oxidative lipid damage, and the link between GPX4 dysfunction, lipid oxidation, and the induction of ferroptosis.

Abstract
Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are monomeric NAD(P)(H)-dependent oxidoreductases that play pivotal roles in the biosynthesis and metabolism of steroids in humans. AKR1C enzymes acting as 3-ketosteroid, 17-ketosteroid, and 20-ketosteroid reductases are involved in the prereceptor regulation of ligands for the androgen, estrogen, and progesterone receptors and are considered drug targets to treat steroid hormone-dependent malignancies and endocrine disorders. In contrast, AKR1D1 is the only known steroid 5β-reductase and is essential for bile-acid biosynthesis, the generation of ligands for the farnesoid X receptor, and the 5β-dihydrosteroids that have their own biological activity. In this review we discuss the crystal structures of these AKRs, their kinetic and catalytic mechanisms, AKR genomics (gene expression, splice variants, polymorphic variants, and inherited genetic deficiencies), distribution in steroid target tissues, roles in steroid hormone action and disease, and inhibitor design.

Abstract
4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE), an end-product of lipid peroxidation generated in response to oxidative stress, has been implicated in the pathophysiology of chronic liver diseases. HNE is very reactive that forms Michael adducts with nucleophilic sites in DNA, lipids and proteins. At high concentrations, HNE causes rapid cell death associated with depletion of sulfhydryl groups and inhibition of key metabolic enzymes. At low concentrations, HNE stimulates expression of genes that are part of an adaptive response. In this study, we show that sub-lethal concentrations of HNE induce mRNA expression levels of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) (2.5-fold), NADPH:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) (4.5-fold), AKR1C3 (2-fold) and AKR7A2 (3-fold) enzymes. Protein expression levels of AKR1C and AKR7A2 are induced by 2- and 1.5-fold following exposure to HNE. The role of AKR1C3 and AKR7A2 in protecting HepG2 cells against HNE toxicity was investigated through using RNAi. Results show that AKR7A2, but not AKR1C3 contributes to the protection against HNE toxicity in HepG2 cells. Moreover, transcriptional factor nuclear factor erythroid 2 p45-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is activated by HNE through translocation to the nucleus. Overexpressing AKR7A2 could rescue the effect of knocking down Nrf2 on HNE-induced cytotoxicity. Furthermore, a natural compound 7-hydroxycoumain, an AKR7A2 inducer, shows hepatoprotection against HNE via AKR7A2 induction. Hence, the inducible AKR7A2 has provided a new therapeutic target to treat chronic liver disease.

Abstract
The term ferroptosis was coined in 2012 to describe an iron-dependent regulated form of cell death caused by the accumulation of lipid-based reactive oxygen species; this type of cell death was found to have molecular characteristics distinct from other forms of regulated cell death. Features of ferroptosis have been observed periodically over the last several decades, but these molecular features were not recognized as evidence of a distinct form of cell death until recently. Here, we describe the history of observations consistent with the current definition of ferroptosis, as well as the advances that contributed to the emergence of the concept of ferroptosis. We also discuss recent implications and applications of manipulations of the ferroptotic death pathway.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a form of cell death that requires phospholipid peroxidation and has attracted increased attention, both as a means to eradicate tumors resistant to standard chemotherapy and for its potential contribution to tissue damage such as in ischemia/reperfusion. The center stage taken by phospholipid peroxidation in ferroptosis is highlighted by recent discoveries that demonstrate an intricate regulation of both the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as mechanisms leading to their oxidation. These metabolic steps converge at the point of ferroptosis execution through mechanisms that are now only starting to be understood. In this short review, we provide an appraisal of some of the recent advances in the understanding of the ferroptosis process and also provide some perspectives of where this knowledge could take us.

Abstract
Androgens are critical drivers of prostate cancer. In this chapter we first discuss the canonical pathways of androgen metabolism and their alterations in prostate cancer progression, including the classical, backdoor and 5α-dione pathways, the role of pre-receptor DHT metabolism, and recent findings on oncogenic splicing of steroidogenic enzymes. Next, we discuss the activity and metabolism of non-canonical 11-oxygenated androgens that can activate wild-type AR and are less susceptible to glucuronidation and inactivation than the canonical androgens, thereby serving as an under-recognized reservoir of active ligands. We then discuss an emerging literature on the potential non-canonical role of androgen metabolizing enzymes in driving prostate cancer. We conclude by discussing the potential implications of these findings for prostate cancer progression, particularly in context of new agents such as abiraterone and enzalutamide, which target the AR-axis for prostate cancer therapy, including mechanisms of response and resistance and implications of these findings for future therapy.

Abstract
Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) catalyze disulfide bond formation between protein cysteine residues during protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen and are essential for maintaining ER homoeostasis. The life cycle of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is closely associated with the ER. Synthesis and maturation of HCV proteins occur in the ER membrane and are mediated by multiple host cell factors that include also PDI. Here, we present a study investigating the effect of PDI inhibition on Huh7 human hepatoma cells harboring an HCV subgenomic replicon using the abscisic acid-derived PDI inhibitor origamicin. Transcriptional profiling shows that origamicin changed the expression levels of genes involved in the oxidative and ER stress responses and the unfolded protein response, as indicated by the upregulation of antioxidant enzymes and chaperone proteins, the downregulation of cell-cycle proteins, and induction of apoptosis-associated genes. Our data suggest that origamicin negatively impacts HCV replication by causing an imbalance in cellular homoeostasis and induction of stress responses. These insights suggest that inhibition of PDIs by low-molecular-weight inhibitors could be a promising approach to the discovery of novel antiviral compounds.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass, of which D-xylose accounts for approximately 35% of the total sugar, has attracted attention as a future energy source for biofuel. To elucidate molecular mechanism of D-xylose utilization, we determined the crystal structure of D-xylose reductase from Schefferzomyces stipitis (SsXR) at a 1.95 Å resolution. We also determined the SsXR structure in complex with the NADPH cofactor and revealed that the protein undergoes an open/closed conformation change upon NADPH binding. The substrate binding pocket of SsXR is somewhat hydrophobic, which seems to result in low binding affinity to the substrate. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that AKR enzymes annotated with bacterial/archaeal XRs belonged to uncharacterized AKR families and might have no XR function, and yeast/fungi derived enzymes, which belong to the same group with SsXR, can be candidates for XR to increase xylose consumption.

Abstract
Ultraviolet light is the dominant environmental oxidative skin stressor and a major skin aging factor. We studied which oxidized phospholipid (OxPL) mediators would be generated in primary human keratinocytes (KC) upon exposure to ultraviolet A light (UVA) and investigated the contribution of OxPL to UVA responses. Mass spectrometric analysis immediately or 24 h post UV stress revealed significant changes in abundance of 173 and 84 lipid species, respectively. We identified known and novel lipid species including known bioactive and also potentially reactive carbonyl containing species. We found indication for selective metabolism and degradation of selected reactive lipids. Exposure to both UVA and to in vitro UVA - oxidized phospholipids activated, on transcriptome and proteome level, NRF2/antioxidant response signaling, lipid metabolizing enzyme expression and unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling. We identified NUPR1 as an upstream regulator of UVA/OxPL transcriptional stress responses and found this protein to be expressed in the epidermis. Silencing of NUPR1 resulted in augmented expression of antioxidant and lipid detoxification genes and disturbed the cell cycle, making it a potential key factor in skin reactive oxygen species (ROS) responses intimately involved in aging and pathology.
