Life Sci Alliance 2024; 7:e202402765. [PMID: 38991726 PMCID: PMC11239977 DOI: 10.26508/lsa.202402765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024] Open
Abstract
PPTC7 is a mitochondrial-localized phosphatase that suppresses BNIP3- and NIX-mediated mitophagy, but the mechanisms underlying this regulation remain ill-defined. Here, we demonstrate that loss of PPTC7 upregulates BNIP3 and NIX post-transcriptionally and independent of HIF-1α stabilization. Loss of PPTC7 prolongs the half-life of BNIP3 and NIX while blunting their accumulation in response to proteasomal inhibition, suggesting that PPTC7 promotes the ubiquitin-mediated turnover of BNIP3 and NIX. Consistently, overexpression of PPTC7 limits the accumulation of BNIP3 and NIX protein levels, which requires an intact catalytic motif but is surprisingly independent of its targeting to mitochondria. Consistently, we find that PPTC7 is dual-localized to the outer mitochondrial membrane and the matrix. Importantly, anchoring PPTC7 to the outer mitochondrial membrane is sufficient to blunt BNIP3 and NIX accumulation, and proximity labeling and fluorescence co-localization experiments demonstrate that PPTC7 dynamically associates with BNIP3 and NIX within the native cellular environment. Collectively, these data reveal that a fraction of PPTC7 localizes to the outer mitochondrial membrane to promote the proteasomal turnover of BNIP3 and NIX, limiting basal mitophagy.

Abstract
The recent birth of the immunometabolism field has comprehensively demonstrated how the rewiring of intracellular metabolism is critical for supporting the effector functions of many immune cell types, such as myeloid cells. Among all, the transcriptional regulation mediated by Hypoxia-Inducible Factors (HIFs) and Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) have been consistently shown to play critical roles in regulating the glycolytic metabolism, redox homeostasis and inflammatory responses of macrophages (Mφs). Although both of these transcription factors were first discovered back in the 1990s, new advances in understanding their function and regulations have been continuously made in the context of immunometabolism. Therefore, this review attempts to summarize the traditionally and newly identified functions of these transcription factors, including their roles in orchestrating the key events that take place during glycolytic reprogramming in activated myeloid cells, as well as their roles in mediating Mφ inflammatory responses in various bacterial infection models.

Activation of macroautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy in human skeletal muscle by high-intensity exercise in normoxia and hypoxia and after recovery with or without post-exercise ischemia. Free Radic Biol Med 2024; 222:607-624. [PMID: 39009244 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2024.07.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
Autophagy is essential for the adaptive response to exercise and physiological skeletal muscle functionality. However, the mechanisms leading to the activation of macroautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy in human skeletal muscle in response to high-intensity exercise remain elusive. Our findings demonstrate that macroautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy are stimulated by high-intensity exercise in normoxia (PIO2: 143 mmHg) and severe acute hypoxia (PIO2: 73 mmHg) in healthy humans. High-intensity exercise induces macroautophagy initiation through AMPKα phosphorylation, which phosphorylates and activates ULK1. ULK1 phosphorylates BECN1 at Ser15, eliciting the dissociation of BECN1-BCL2 crucial for phagophore formation. Besides, high-intensity exercise elevates the LC3B-II:LC3B-I ratio, reduces total SQSTM1/p62 levels, and induces p-Ser349 SQSTM1/p62 phosphorylation, suggesting heightened autophagosome degradation. PHAF1/MYTHO, a novel macroautophagy biomarker, is highly upregulated in response to high-intensity exercise. The latter is accompanied by elevated LAMP2A expression, indicating chaperone-mediated autophagy activation regardless of post-exercise HSPA8/HSC70 downregulation. Despite increased glycolytic metabolism, severe acute hypoxia does not exacerbate the autophagy signaling response. Signaling changes revert within 1 min of recovery with free circulation, while the application of immediate post-exercise ischemia impedes recovery. Our study concludes that macroautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy pathways are strongly activated by high-intensity exercise, regardless of PO2, and that oxygenation is necessary to revert these signals to pre-exercise values. PHAF1/MYTHO emerges as a pivotal exercise-responsive autophagy marker positively associated with the LC3B-II:LC3B-I ratio.

The human testis-enriched HSPA2 interacts with HIF-1α in epidermal keratinocytes, yet HIF-1α stability and HIF-1-dependent gene expression rely on the HSPA (HSP70) activity. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA. MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2024; 1871:119735.

Abstract
The Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1 (HIF-1) is essential for cellular adaptation to reduced oxygen levels. It also facilitates the maintenance and re-establishment of skin homeostasis. Among others, it is involved in regulating keratinocyte differentiation. The stability of the oxygen-liable HIF-1α subunit is regulated by various non-canonical oxygen-independent mechanisms, which among others involve Heat Shock Proteins of the A family (HSPA/HSP70). This group of highly homologous chaperones and proteostasis-controlling factors includes HSPA2, a unique member crucial for spermatogenesis and implicated in the regulation of keratinocyte differentiation. HIF-1 can control the HSPA2 gene expression. In this study, we revealed that HIF-1α is the first confirmed client of HSPA2 in human somatic cells. It colocalises and interacts directly with HSPA2 in the epidermis in situ and immortalised keratinocytes in vitro. Using an in vitro model based on HSPA2-overexpressing and HSPA2-deficient variants of immortalised keratinocytes we showed that changes in HSPA2 levels do not affect the levels and intracellular localisation of HIF-1α or influence the ability of HIF-1 to modulate target gene expression. However, HIF-1α stability in keratinocytes appears critically reliant on HSPAs as a group of functionally overlapping chaperones. In addition to HSPA2, HIF-1α colocalises and forms complexes with HSPA8 and HSPA1, representing housekeeping and stress-inducible HSPA family paralogs, respectively. Chemical inhibition of HSPA activity, but not paralog-specific knockdown of HSPA8 or HSPA1 expression reduced HIF-1α levels and HIF-1-dependent gene expression. These observations suggest that pharmacological targeting of HSPAs could prevent excessive HIF-1 signalling in pathological skin conditions.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is the master regulator of cellular response to hypoxia, and is activated in many cancers contributing to many steps in the metastatic cascade by acting as a key transcription co-regulator for a large number of downstream genes. Presence of hypoxia within a tumor is spatially nonuniform, and can also by dynamic. Further, although HIF-1 is primarily stabilized and activated by lack of molecular O2, its stability is also affected by other factors present in the tumor microenvironment. HIF-1 also crosstalks with other transcription factors in co-regulating gene expression. Consequently, it is nontrivial to predict the gene expression patterns in cells in response to hypoxia, or HIF-1 activation. Additionally, cancers originating from tissue origins with different basal level of partial oxygen tension may activate HIF-1 at different threshold of hypoxia. We analyzed large published single cell RNAseq data for colorectal, lung, and pancreatic cancers to investigate the phenotypic outcome of HIF-1 activation in cancer cells. We found that cancers from tissues with different partial O2 tension levels exhibit HIF-1 activation at different stages of metastasis, and phenotypically respond differently to HIF-1 activation, likely by contextual co-option of different transcription factors. We experimentally confirmed these predictions by using cell lines representative of colorectal, lung, and pancreatic cancers, finding that while hypoxia enhances growth of colorectal cancer, it induces increased invasion of lung, and pancreatic cancers. Our analysis suggest that HIF-1 activation may act as a rheostat regulating downstream gene expression towards phenotypic outcomes differently in various cancers.

Abstract
ALKBH1 is a typical demethylase of nucleic acids, which is correlated with multiple types of biological processes and human diseases. Recent studies are focused on the demethylation of ALKBH1, but little is known about its non-demethylase function. Here, we demonstrate that ALKBH1 regulates the glycolysis process through HIF-1α signaling in a demethylase-independent manner. We observed that depletion of ALKBH1 inhibits glycolysis flux and extracellular acidification, which is attributable to reduced HIF-1α protein levels, and it can be rescued by reintroducing HIF-1α. Mechanistically, ALKBH1 knockdown enhances chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA)-mediated HIF-1α degradation by facilitating the interaction between HIF-1α and LAMP2A. Furthermore, we identify that ALKBH1 competitively binds to the OST48, resulting in compromised structural integrity of oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex and subsequent defective N-glycosylation of LAMPs, particularly LAMP2A. Abnormal glycosylation of LAMP2A disrupts lysosomal homeostasis and hinders the efficient degradation of HIF-1α through CMA. Moreover, NGI-1, a small-molecule inhibitor that selectively targets the OST complex, could inhibit the glycosylation of LAMPs caused by ALKBH1 silencing, leading to impaired CMA activity and disruption of lysosomal homeostasis. In conclusion, we have revealed a non-demethylation role of ALKBH1 in regulating N-glycosylation of LAMPs by interacting with OST subunits and CMA-mediated degradation of HIF-1α.

Abstract
Autophagy is a process in which cells degrade intracellular substances and play a variety of roles in cells, such as maintaining intracellular homeostasis, preventing cell overgrowth, and removing pathogens. It is highly conserved during the evolution of eukaryotic cells. So far, the study of autophagy is still a hot topic in the field of cytology. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of cell death, accompanied by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxides. With the deepening of research, it has been found that ferroptosis, like autophagy, is involved in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases. The relationship between autophagy and ferroptosis is complex, and the association between the two in cardiovascular disease remains to be clarified. This article reviews the mechanism of autophagy and ferroptosis and their correlation, and discusses the relationship between them in cardiovascular diseases, which is expected to provide new and important treatment strategies for cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Protein Arginine Methyltransferases (PRMTs) are a family of enzymes regulating protein arginine methylation, which is a post-translational modification crucial for various cellular processes. Recent studies have highlighted the mechanistic role of PRMTs in cancer pathogenesis, immunotherapy, and drug resistance. PRMTs are involved in diverse oncogenic processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, and metastasis. They exert their effects by methylation of histones, transcription factors, and other regulatory proteins, resulting in altered gene expression patterns. PRMT-mediated histone methylation can lead to aberrant chromatin remodeling and epigenetic changes that drive oncogenesis. Additionally, PRMTs can directly interact with key signaling pathways involved in cancer progression, such as the PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways, thereby modulating cell survival and proliferation. In the context of cancer immunotherapy, PRMTs have emerged as critical regulators of immune responses. They modulate immune checkpoint molecules, including programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), through arginine methylation. Drug resistance is a significant challenge in cancer treatment, and PRMTs have been implicated in this phenomenon. PRMTs can contribute to drug resistance through multiple mechanisms, including the epigenetic regulation of drug efflux pumps, altered DNA damage repair, and modulation of cell survival pathways. In conclusion, PRMTs play critical roles in cancer pathogenesis, immunotherapy, and drug resistance. In this overview, we have endeavored to illuminate the mechanistic intricacies of PRMT-mediated processes. Shedding light on these aspects will offer valuable insights into the fundamental biology of cancer and establish PRMTs as promising therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is a dedifferentiation process implicated in many physio-pathological conditions including tumor transformation. EMT is regulated by several extracellular mediators and under certain conditions it can be reversible. Autophagy is a conserved catabolic process in which intracellular components such as protein/DNA aggregates and abnormal organelles are degraded in specific lysosomes. In cancer, autophagy plays a controversial role, acting in different conditions as both a tumor suppressor and a tumor-promoting mechanism. Experimental evidence shows that deep interrelations exist between EMT and autophagy-related pathways. Although this interplay has already been analyzed in previous studies, understanding mechanisms and the translational implications of autophagy/EMT need further study. The role of autophagy in EMT is not limited to morphological changes, but activation of autophagy could be important to DNA repair/damage system, cell adhesion molecules, and cell proliferation and differentiation processes. Based on this, both autophagy and EMT and related pathways are now considered as targets for cancer therapy. In this review article, the contribution of autophagy to EMT and progression of cancer is discussed. This article also describes the multiple connections between EMT and autophagy and their implication in cancer treatment.

Jin Y, Peng Y, Xu J, Yuan Y, Yang N, Zhang Z, Xu L, Li L, Xiong Y, Sun D, Pan Y, Wu R, Fu J. LUBAC promotes angiogenesis and lung tumorigenesis by ubiquitinating and antagonizing autophagic degradation of HIF1α. Oncogenesis 2024; 13:6. [PMID: 38272870 PMCID: PMC10810860 DOI: 10.1038/s41389-024-00508-3] [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: 09/30/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1) is critically important for driving angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. Linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC), the only known ubiquitin ligase capable of catalyzing protein linear ubiquitination to date, is implicated in cell signaling and associated with cancers. However, the role and mechanism of LUBAC in regulating the expression and function of HIF1α, the labile subunit of HIF1, remain to be elucidated. Herein we showed that LUBAC increases HIF1α protein expression in cultured cells and tissues of human lung cancer and enhances HIF1α DNA-binding and transcriptional activities, which are dependent upon LUBAC enzymatic activity. Mechanistically, LUBAC increases HIF1α stability through antagonizing HIF1α decay by the chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA)-lysosome pathway, thereby potentiating HIF1α activity. We further demonstrated that HIF1α selectively interacts with HOIP (the catalytic subunit of LUBAC) primarily in the cytoplasm. LUBAC catalyzes linear ubiquitination of HIF1α at lysine 362. Linear ubiquitination shields HIF1α from interacting with heat-shock cognate protein of 70 kDa and lysosome-associated membrane protein type 2 A, two components of CMA. Consequently, linear ubiquitination confers protection against CMA-mediated destruction of HIF1α, increasing HIF1α stability and activity. We found that prolyl hydroxylation is not a perquisite for LUBAC's effects on HIF1α. Functionally, LUBAC facilitates proliferation, clonogenic formation, invasion and migration of lung cancer cells. LUBAC also boosts angiogenesis and exacerbates lung cancer growth in mice, which are greatly compromised by inhibition of HIF1α. This work provides novel mechanistic insights into the role of LUBAC in regulating HIF1α homeostasis, tumor angiogenesis and tumorigenesis of lung cancer, making LUBAC an attractive therapeutic target for cancers.

Abstract
The hypoxia-inducible transcription factors HIF-1 and HIF-2 regulate the response to hypoxia. Both proteins are dimers of an alpha subunit and a shared beta subunit. Under hypoxic conditions, the alpha subunits are stabilized, and the transactivation ability of the HIF-1 transcription factor is induced. Accordingly, assessment of HIF-1α protein levels and HIF transcriptional activity serve as an indirect indicator of hypoxia. In this series of protocols, I describe three methods to probe the HIF pathway.

Abstract
Lipid accumulation in macrophages (Mφs) is a hallmark of atherosclerosis, yet how lipid accumulation affects inflammatory responses through rewiring of Mφ metabolism is poorly understood. We modeled lipid accumulation in cultured wild-type mouse thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal Mφs and bone marrow-derived Mφs with conditional (Lyz2-Cre) or complete genetic deficiency of Vhl, Hif1a, Nos2, and Nfe2l2. Transfection studies employed RAW264.7 cells. Mφs were cultured for 24 h with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) or cholesterol and then were stimulated with LPS. Transcriptomics revealed that oxLDL accumulation in Mφs downregulated inflammatory, hypoxia, and cholesterol metabolism pathways, whereas the antioxidant pathway, fatty acid oxidation, and ABC family proteins were upregulated. Metabolomics and extracellular metabolic flux assays showed that oxLDL accumulation suppressed LPS-induced glycolysis. Intracellular lipid accumulation in Mφs impaired LPS-induced inflammation by reducing both hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α (HIF-1α) stability and transactivation capacity; thus, the phenotype was not rescued in Vhl-/- Mφs. Intracellular lipid accumulation in Mφs also enhanced LPS-induced NF erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-mediated antioxidative defense that destabilizes HIF-1α, and Nrf2-deficient Mφs resisted the inhibitory effects of lipid accumulation on glycolysis and inflammatory gene expression. Furthermore, oxLDL shifted NADPH consumption from HIF-1α- to Nrf2-regulated apoenzymes. Thus, we postulate that repurposing NADPH consumption from HIF-1α to Nrf2 transcriptional pathways is critical in modulating inflammatory responses in Mφs with accumulated intracellular lipid. The relevance of our in vitro models was established by comparative transcriptomic analyses, which revealed that Mφs cultured with oxLDL and stimulated with LPS shared similar inflammatory and metabolic profiles with foamy Mφs derived from the atherosclerotic mouse and human aorta.

Abstract
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is the selective degradation process of intracellular components by lysosomes, which is required for the degradation of aggregate-prone proteins and contributes to proteostasis maintenance. Proteostasis is essential for normal cell function and survival, and it is determined by the balance of protein synthesis and degradation. Because postmitotic neurons are highly susceptible to proteostasis disruption, CMA is vital for the nervous system. Since Parkinson's disease (PD) was first linked to CMA dysfunction, an increasing number of studies have shown that CMA loss, as seen during aging, occurs in the pathogenetic process of neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms of CMA, as well as the physiological function and regulation of this autophagy pathway. Following, we highlight its potential role in neurodegenerative diseases, and the latest advances and challenges in targeting CMA in therapy of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a lysosomal degradation pathway that eliminates substrate proteins through heat-shock cognate protein 70 recognition and lysosome-associated membrane protein type 2A-assisted translocation. It is distinct from macroautophagy and microautophagy. In recent years, the regulatory mechanisms of CMA have been gradually enriched, including the newly discovered NRF2 and p38-TFEB signaling, as positive and negative regulatory pathways of CMA, respectively. Normal CMA activity is involved in the regulation of metabolism, aging, immunity, cell cycle, and other physiological processes, while CMA dysfunction may be involved in the occurrence of neurodegenerative disorders, tumors, intestinal disorders, atherosclerosis, and so on, which provides potential targets for the treatment and prediction of related diseases. This article describes the general process of CMA and its role in physiological activities and summarizes the connection between CMA and macroautophagy. In addition, human diseases that concern the dysfunction or protective role of CMA are discussed. Our review deepens the understanding of the mechanisms and physiological functions of CMA and provides a summary of past CMA research and a vision of future directions.

Abstract
Molecular chaperone HSP70s are attractive targets for cancer therapy, but their substrate broadness and functional non-specificity have limited their role in therapeutical success. Functioning as HSP70's cochaperones, HSP40s determine the client specificity of HSP70s, and could be better targets for cancer therapy. Here we show that tumors defective in HSP40 member DNAJA2 are benefitted from immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Mechanistically, DNAJA2 maintains centrosome homeostasis by timely degrading key centriolar satellite proteins PCM1 and CEP290 via HSC70 chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). Tumor cells depleted of DNAJA2 or CMA factor LAMP2A exhibit elevated levels of centriolar satellite proteins, which causes aberrant mitosis characterized by abnormal spindles, chromosome missegregation and micronuclei formation. This activates the cGAS-STING pathway to enhance ICB therapy response in tumors derived from DNAJA2-deficient cells. Our study reveals a role for DNAJA2 to regulate mitotic division and chromosome stability and suggests DNAJA2 as a potential target to enhance cancer immunotherapy, thereby providing strategies to advance HSPs-based cancer therapy.

Abstract
Both AP-1 and PRMT1 are vital molecules in variety of cellular progresssion, but the interaction between these proteins in the context of cellular functions is less clear. Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the pernicious diseases worldwide. An in-depth understanding of the molecular mode of action underlying gastric tumorigenesis is still elusive. In this study, we found that PRMT1 directly interacts with c-Fos and enhances AP-1 activation. PRMT1-mediated arginine methylation (mono- and dimethylation) of c-Fos synergistically enhances c-Fos-mediated AP-1 liveliness and consequently increases c-Fos protein stabilization. Consistent with this finding, PRMT1 knockdown decreases the protein level of c-Fos. We discovered that the c-Fos protein undergoes autophagic degradation and found that PRMT1-mediated methylation at R287 protects c-Fos from autophagosomal degradation and is linked to clinicopathologic variables as well as prognosis in stomach tumor. Together, our data demonstrate that PRMT1-mediated c-Fos protein stabilization promotes gastric tumorigenesis. We contend that targeting this modification could constitute a new therapeutic strategy in gastric cancer.

Abstract
Fluctuations in nutrient and biomass availability, often as a result of disease, impart metabolic challenges that must be overcome in order to sustain cell survival and promote proliferation. Cells adapt to these environmental changes and stresses by adjusting their metabolic networks through a series of regulatory mechanisms. Our understanding of these rewiring events has largely been focused on those genetic transformations that alter protein expression and the biochemical mechanisms that change protein behavior, such as post-translational modifications and metabolite-based allosteric modulators. Mounting evidence suggests that a class of proteome surveillance proteins called molecular chaperones also can influence metabolic processes. Here, we summarize several ways the Hsp90 and Hsp70 chaperone families act on human metabolic enzymes and their supramolecular assemblies to change enzymatic activities and metabolite flux. We further highlight how these chaperones can assist in the translocation and degradation of metabolic enzymes. Collectively, these studies provide a new view for how metabolic processes are regulated to meet cellular demand and inspire new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
C11orf54 is an ester hydrolase highly conserved across different species. C11orf54 has been identified as a biomarker protein of renal cancers, but its exact function remains poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that C11orf54 knockdown decreases cell proliferation and enhances cisplatin-induced DNA damage and apoptosis. On the one hand, loss of C11orf54 reduces Rad51 expression and nuclear accumulation, which results in suppression of homologous recombination repair. On the other hand, C11orf54 and HIF1A competitively interact with HSC70, knockdown of C11orf54 promotes HSC70 binding to HIF1A to target it for degradation via chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). C11orf54 knockdown-mediated HIF1A degradation reduces the transcription of ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2 (RRM2), which is a rate-limiting RNR enzyme for DNA synthesis and DNA repair by producing dNTPs. Supplement of dNTPs can partially rescue C11orf54 knockdown-mediated DNA damage and cell death. Furthermore, we find that Bafilomycin A1, an inhibitor of both macroautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy, shows similar rescue effects as dNTP treatment. In summary, we uncover a role of C11orf54 in regulating DNA damage and repair through CMA-mediated decreasing of HIF1A/RRM2 axis.

J Biol Chem 2023:104829. [PMID: 37201586 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.104829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a critical transcription factor that regulates expression of genes involved in cellular adaptation to low oxygen levels. Aberrant regulation of the HIF-1 signaling pathway is linked to various human diseases. Previous studies have established that HIF-1α is rapidly degraded in a von Hippel-Lindau protien (pVHL)-dependent manner under normoxic conditions. In this study, we find that pVHL binding protein 1 (VBP1) is a negative regulator of HIF-1α but not HIF-2α using zebrafish as an in vivo model and in vitro cell culture models. Deletion of vbp1 in zebrafish caused Hif-1α accumulation and upregulation of Hif target genes. Moreover, vbp1 was involved in induction of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) under hypoxic conditions. However, VBP1 interacted with and promoted the degradation of HIF-1α in a pVHL-independent manner. Mechanistically, we identify the ubiquitin ligase CHIP and HSP70 as new VBP1 binding partners, and demonstrate that VBP1 negatively regulated CHIP and facilitated CHIP-mediated degradation of HIF-1α. In patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), lower VBP1 expression was associated with worse survival outcomes. In conclusion, our results link VBP1 with CHIP stability and provide insights into underlying molecular mechanisms of HIF-1α-driven pathological processes.

Manassantin A inhibits tumour growth under hypoxia through the activation of chaperone-mediated autophagy by modulating Hsp90 activity. Br J Cancer 2023; 128:1491-1502. [PMID: 36759727 PMCID: PMC10070431 DOI: 10.1038/s41416-023-02148-7] [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: 02/21/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chaperon-mediated autophagy (CMA) has taken on a new emphasis in cancer biology. However, the roles of CMA in hypoxic tumours are poorly understood. We investigated the anti-tumour effects of the natural product ManA through the activation of CMA in tumour progression under hypoxia. METHODS The effect of ManA on CMA activation was assessed in mouse xenograft models and cells. The gene expressions of HIF-1α, HSP90AA1, and transcription factor EB (TFEB) were analysed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets to assess the clinical relevance of CMA. RESULTS ManA activates photoswitchable CMA reporter activity and inhibits Hsp90 chaperone function by disrupting the Hsp90/F1F0-ATP synthase complex. Hsp90 inhibition enhances the interaction between CMA substrates and LAMP-2A and TFEB nuclear localisation, suggesting CMA activation by ManA. ManA-activated CMA retards tumour growth and displays cooperative anti-tumour activity with anti-PD-1 antibody. TCGA datasets show that a combined expression of HSP90AA1High/HIF1AHigh or TFEBLow/HIF1AHigh is strongly correlated with poor prognosis in patients with lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS ManA-induced CMA activation by modulating Hsp90 under hypoxia induces HIF-1α degradation and reduces tumour growth. Thus, inducing CMA activity by targeting Hsp90 may be a promising therapeutic strategy against hypoxic tumours.

Chloroquine prevents hypoxic accumulation of HIF-1α by inhibiting ATR kinase: implication in chloroquine-mediated chemosensitization of colon carcinoma cells under hypoxia. Pharmacol Rep 2023; 75:211-221. [PMID: 36508076 DOI: 10.1007/s43440-022-00441-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 12/03/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chloroquine (CQ) is an effective and safe antimalarial drug that is also used as a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug. Recent studies have shown that CQ can sensitize cancer cells to anti-cancer therapies. METHODS In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying CQ-mediated chemosensitization in human colon carcinoma cells. RESULTS CQ prevented hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α protein induction in human colon carcinoma cells. CQ also suppressed HIF-1 activity, as represented by CQ inhibition of HIF-1-dependent luciferase activity and reduced induction of vascular endothelial growth factor. Under hypoxia, CQ restricted HIF-1α synthesis but did not affect HIF-1α transcription and protein stability. The hypoxic state activated ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) kinase and increased the level of phosphorylated checkpoint kinase 1, a substrate of ATR kinase; however, this was prevented by CQ. An ATR kinase inhibitor suppressed the hypoxic induction of HIF-1α protein and was as effective as CQ. The cytotoxicity of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), the first choice for the treatment of colorectal cancer, was attenuated under hypoxia. CQ enhanced the cytotoxicity of 5-FU treatment, which was mimicked by the transient transfection with HIF-1α siRNA. CONCLUSIONS Under hypoxia, CQ-mediated sensitization of colon carcinoma HCT116 cells to 5-FU involves HIF-1 inhibition via ATR kinase suppression.

Steppogenin suppresses tumor growth and sprouting angiogenesis through inhibition of HIF-1α in tumors and DLL4 activity in the endothelium. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 108:154513. [PMID: 36332389 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Revised: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxia is a characteristic feature of many solid tumors. As an adaptive response to hypoxia, tumor cells activate hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Under hypoxic conditions, angiogenesis mediated by HIF-1α is involved in the growth and metastasis of tumor cells. During the angiogenic process, differentiated tip endothelial cells (ECs) characterized by high expression of DLL4 promote angiogenic germination through filopodia. Inhibitors of HIF-1α or DLL4 have been widely studied PURPOSE: We tried to find inhibitors targeting both HIF-1α and DLL4 in tumor which have not yet been developed. STUDY DESIGN In this study, we examined a natural compound that inhibits sprouting angiogenesis and tumor growth by targeting both HIF-1α and DLL4 under hypoxic conditions. METHODS After examining cell viability of 70 selected natural compounds, we assessed the effects of compounds on HIF-1α and DLL4 transcriptional activity using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Western blot analysis, immunofluoresecnt assay and real-time qPCR were performed to identify expression of proteins, such as HIF-1α and DLL4, as well as HIF-1α target genes under hypoxic conditions. In vitro angiogenesis assay and in vivo allograft tumor experiment were performed to investigate inhibition of tumor growth through anti-angiogenic activity. RESULTS Among these compounds, steppogenin, which is extracted from the root bark of Morus alba l, respectively inhibited the transcriptional activity of HIF-1α under hypoxic conditions in HEK293T cells and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced DLL4 expression in vascular ECs in a dose-dependent manner. In tumor cells and retinal pigment epithelial cells, steppogenin significantly suppressed HIF-1α protein levels under hypoxic conditions as well as VEGF-induced DLL4 expression in ECs. Furthermore, steppogenin suppressed hypoxia-induced vascular EC proliferation and migration as well as VEGF-induced sprouting of EC spheroids. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the natural compound steppogenin could potentially be used to treat angiogenic diseases, such as those involving solid tumors, because of its dual inhibition of HIF-1α and DLL4.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most deadly type of malignant brain tumor, despite extensive molecular analyses of GBM cells. In recent years, the tumor microenvironment (TME) has been recognized as an important player and therapeutic target in GBM. However, there is a need for a full and integrated understanding of the different cellular and molecular components involved in the GBM TME and their interactions for the development of more efficient therapies. In this review, we provide a comprehensive report of the GBM TME, which assembles the contributions of physicians and translational researchers working on brain tumor pathology and therapy in France. We propose a holistic view of the subject by delineating the specific features of the GBM TME at the cellular, molecular, and therapeutic levels.

Lactate-dependent chaperone-mediated autophagy induces oscillatory HIF-1α activity promoting proliferation of hypoxic cells. Cell Syst 2022; 13:1048-1064.e7. [PMID: 36462504 PMCID: PMC10012408 DOI: 10.1016/j.cels.2022.11.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 09/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
Response to hypoxia is a highly regulated process, but little is known about single-cell responses to hypoxic conditions. Using fluorescent reporters of hypoxia response factor-1α (HIF-1α) activity in various cancer cell lines and patient-derived cancer cells, we show that hypoxic responses in individual cancer cells can be highly dynamic and variable. These responses fall into three classes, including oscillatory activity. We identify a molecular mechanism that can account for all three response classes, implicating reactive-oxygen-species-dependent chaperone-mediated autophagy of HIF-1α in a subset of cells. Furthermore, we show that oscillatory response is modulated by the abundance of extracellular lactate in a quorum-sensing-like mechanism. We show that oscillatory HIF-1α activity rescues hypoxia-mediated inhibition of cell division and causes broad suppression of genes downregulated in cancers and activation of genes upregulated in many cancers, suggesting a mechanism for aggressive growth in a subset of hypoxic tumor cells.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis depends on a precise dynamic balance between bone resorption and bone formation, involving a series of complex and highly regulated steps. Any imbalance in this process can cause disturbances in bone metabolism and lead to the development of many associated bone diseases. Autophagy, one of the fundamental pathways for the degradation and recycling of proteins and organelles, is a fundamental process that regulates cellular and organismal homeostasis. Importantly, basic levels of autophagy are present in all types of bone-associated cells. Due to the cyclic nature of autophagy and the ongoing bone metabolism processes, autophagy is considered a new participant in bone maintenance. Novel therapeutic targets have emerged as a result of new mechanisms, and bone metabolism can be controlled by interfering with autophagy by focusing on certain regulatory molecules in autophagy. In parallel, several studies have reported that various natural products exhibit a good potential to mediate autophagy for the treatment of metabolic bone diseases. Therefore, we briefly described the process of autophagy, emphasizing its function in different cell types involved in bone development and metabolism (including bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes, chondrocytes, and osteoclasts), and also summarized research advances in natural product-mediated autophagy for the treatment of metabolic bone disease caused by dysfunction of these cells (including osteoporosis, rheumatoid joints, osteoarthritis, fracture nonunion/delayed union). The objective of the study was to identify the function that autophagy serves in metabolic bone disease and the effects, potential, and challenges of natural products for the treatment of these diseases by targeting autophagy.

Abstract
Myosin 1b (Myo1b) is an important single-headed membrane-associated motor of class I myosins that participate in many critical physiological and pathological processes. Mounting evidence suggests that the dysregulation of Myo1b expression has been extensively investigated in the development and progression of several tumors. However, the functional mechanism of Myo1b in CRC angiogenesis and autophagy progression remains unclear. Herein, we found that the expression of Myo1b was upregulated in CRC tissues and its high expression was correlated with worse survival. The overexpression of Myo1b promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells. Conversely, silencing of Myo1b suppressed tumor progression both in vitro and in vivo. Further studies indicated that Myo1b inhibited the autophagosome-lysosome fusion and potentiated the VEGF secretion of CRC cells to promote angiogenesis. Mechanistically, Myo1b blocked the autophagic degradation of HIF-1α and then led to the accumulation of HIF-1α, thus enhancing VEGF secretion and then promoting tumor angiogenesis in CRC. Together, our study provided novel insights into the role of Myo1b in CRC progression and revealed that it might be a feasible predictive biomarker and promising therapeutic target for CRC patients.

Abstract
Purpose Neuroglial dysfunction occurs early in the progression of diabetic retinopathy. In response to diabetes or hypoxia, Müller glia secrete cytokines and growth factors that contribute to disease progression. This study was designed to examine common signaling pathways activated in Müller glia by both type 1 and pre-/type 2 diabetes. Methods RiboTag (Pdgfra-cre;HA-Rpl22) mice were used to compare the impact of streptozotocin (STZ) and a high-fat, high-sucrose (HFHS) diet on ribosome association of mRNAs in Müller glia by RNA sequencing analysis. Human MIO-M1 Müller cells were exposed to either hyperglycemic or hypoxic culture conditions. Genetic manipulation and pharmacologic inhibition were used to interrogate signaling pathways. Results Association of mRNAs encoding triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), DNAX-activating protein 12 kDa (DAP12), and colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) with ribosomes isolated from Müller glia was upregulated in both STZ diabetic mice and mice fed an HFHS diet. The TREM2/DAP12 receptor-adaptor complex signals in coordination with CSF1R to activate spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK). SYK activation was enhanced in the retina of diabetic mice and in human MIO-M1 Müller cell cultures exposed to hyperglycemic or hypoxic culture conditions. DAP12 knockdown reduced SYK autophosphorylation in Müller cells exposed to hyperglycemic or hypoxic conditions. SYK inhibition or DAP12 knockdown suppressed hypoxia-induced expression of the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 1⍺ (HIF1⍺), as well as expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and angiopoietin-like 4. Conclusions The findings support TREM2/DAP12 receptor-adaptor complex signaling via SYK to promote HIF1α stabilization and increased angiogenic cytokine production by Müller glia.

Abstract
Autophagy is a highly conserved dynamic process by which cells deliver their contents to lysosomes for degradation, thus ensuring cell homeostasis. In response to environmental stress, the induction of autophagy is crucial for cell survival. The dysregulation of this degradative process has been implicated in a wide range of pathologies, including lung diseases, representing a relevant potential target with significant clinical outcomes. During lung disease progression and infections, autophagy may exert both protective and harmful effects on cells. In this review, we will explore the implications of autophagy and its selective forms in several lung infections, such as SARS-CoV-2, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infections, and different lung diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and Malignant Mesothelioma (MM).

Abstract
Autophagy is a regulated mechanism of degradation of misfolded proteins and organelles in the cell. Neurons are highly differentiated cells with extended projections, and therefore, their functioning largely depends on the mechanisms of autophagy. For the first time in an animal model using immunohistochemistry, dot analysis, and qRT-PCR, the autophagy (macroautophagy) activity in neurons of two brain regions (hippocampus and neocortex) under normoxia and after exposure to hypoxia was studied. It was found that under normoxia, the autophagic activity was higher in the hippocampal neurons than in the neocortex of rats. In the hippocampus, the exposure of rats to hypoxia resulted in a decrease in the content of autophagy markers LC3 and p62, which was followed by activation of the autophagy-related gene expression. In the neocortex, no changes in these marker proteins were observed after the exposure to hypoxia. These data indicate that the neurons in the hippocampus and neocortex differ in the autophagy response to hypoxia, which may reflect the physiological and functional differences of the pyramidal cells of these brain regions and may to some extent account for the extreme vulnerability of the CA1 hippocampal neurons and relatively high resistance of the neocortical neurons to hypoxia.

MTA1 aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting transcription factor HIF1A and up-regulating AQP4 expression. Cell Death Dis 2022; 8:298.

Abstract
Experimental colitis can persist as a chronic disease, accompanied with an underlying risk of development into colorectal cancer. Metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1), as a chromatin modifier, exerts notable association with multiple diseases, including colitis. The current study aims to investigate the mechanism of MTA1/HIF1A/AQP4 axis in experimental colitis in mice. First, experimental colitis mouse models were established using dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and in vitro colonic epithelial cells FHC inflammation models were with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for determination of MTA1 and HIF1A expressions. It was found that MTA1 and HIF1A were both highly-expressed in experimental colitis samples. Results of dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and ChIP assay further revealed that MTA1 activated HIF1A, and subsequently induced AQP4 transcription to up-regulate AQP4 in experimental colitis. Following loss- and gain-function, the effects of MTA1/HIF1A/AQP4 axis on apoptosis and viability of colon epithelial cells were detected by a combination of TUNEL staining and flow cytometry, and CCK-8 assay. It was observed that silencing of MAT1 in the FHC and NCM460 cells reduced IL-1β and TNF-α expressions induced by LPS. Meanwhile, AQP4 promoted LPS-induced inflammation, and exacerbated apoptosis of colon epithelial cells and augmented experimental colitis development in mice. In vivo experiments further verified that TGN-020 treatment effectively alleviated DSS-induced experimental colitis in mice and diminished apoptosis of colon epithelial cells. Altogether, MTA1 may promote AQP4 transcription by activating HIF1A, thus exacerbating DSS-induced experimental colitis in mice, which provides a novel direction for the treatment of experimental colitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The effects of benzo (α) pyrene (BaP) on chaperone mediated autophagy (CMA) through heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and hypoxia- inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is studied by RNA interference and subcutaneous tumor formation technique in nude mice. METHODS 40 nude mice that were inoculated with the silenced HSP90ɑ A549 cell line under the armpits of the forelimbs were divided into 4 groups, and were intragastrically administered with 1.80 mg/kg/d BaP-corn oil solutionfor for 60d (except the Control group), and the growth curves of nude mice and transplanted tumors were recorded. The size and morphological changes of tumors were observed by small animal imaging technique. qPCR, Western blot and Immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of HSP90ɑ, HSC70 and Lamp-2A. A549 cells were treated with 0.1 μmol/L, 1 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L BaP for 24 h, EPO and HIF-1ɑ concentration and HIF-1ɑ protein expression were detected by Elisa and Western blot; A549 cells were treated with 10 μmol/L BaP and HIF-1ɑ inhibitor for 24 h, qPCR, Western blot and Immunofluorescence method were used to detect the expression of HSP90ɑ, HSC70 and Lamp-2A. RESULTS The weight of nude mice and transplanted tumors silenced HSP90ɑ was reduced by BaP (P < 0.01); the expression of HSP90ɑ, HSC70, Lamp-2A mRNA and protein in transplanted tumor tissues silenced HSP90ɑ was reduced by BaP (P < 0.05); the total number of bioluminescence photons of transplanted tumors silenced HSP90ɑ was reduced by BaP (P < 0.01). The concentration of EPO and HIF-1ɑ and the expression of HIF-1ɑ protein in A549 cells was increased by 10 μmol/L BaP (P < 0.05); with HIF-1ɑ inhibitors treated, HSP90ɑ, HSC70, Lamp-2A mRNA and protein expression and the fluorescence intensity of HSP90ɑ was decreased of A549 cells (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The growth of transplanted tumor in nude mice is promoted by BaP, and is inhibited when HSP90ɑ was silenced. BaP promotes the occurrence of CMA by promoting the expression of HSP90ɑ and HIF-1ɑ, which is vital regulatory genes of BaP activation of CMA.

Abstract
Autophagy is an important function that mediates the degradation of intracellular proteins and organelles. Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) degrades selected proteins and has a crucial role in cellular proteostasis under various physiological and pathological conditions. CMA dysfunction leads to the accumulation of toxic protein aggregates in the central nervous system (CNS) and is involved in the pathogenic process of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Previous studies have suggested that the activation of CMA to degrade aberrant proteins can provide a neuroprotective effect in the CNS. Recent studies have shown that CMA activity is upregulated in damaged neural tissue following acute neurological insults, such as cerebral infarction, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury. It has been also suggested that various protein degradation mechanisms are important for removing toxic aberrant proteins associated with secondary damage after acute neurological insults in the CNS. Therefore, enhancing the CMA pathway may induce neuroprotective effects not only in neurogenerative diseases but also in acute neurological insults. We herein review current knowledge concerning the biological mechanisms involved in CMA and highlight the role of CMA in neurodegenerative diseases and acute neurological insults. We also discuss the possibility of developing CMA-targeted therapeutic strategies for effective treatments.

Abstract
Hypoxic microenvironment and dysregulated endoplasmic reticulum stress/unfolded protein response (UPR) system are considered important factors that promote cancer progression. Although osthole extracted from Cnidium monnieri(Fructus Cnidii) has been confirmed to exhibit an anticancer activity in various cancers, the effects of osthole in hypoxic colon cancer cells have not been explored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine whether osthole has an inhibitory effect on hypoxic colon cancer HCT116 cells and further investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms. Treatment with osthole significantly attenuated the cell viability, proliferation, and migration in hypoxic HCT116 cells. Osthole also activated UPR signaling such as phospho-eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha (EIF2[Formula: see text]/ATF4/CHOP/DR5 cascade accompanied by upregulation of pro-apoptotic proteins. Moreover, the tubule-like formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells, the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor A, and the expression and activity of hypoxia-inducible factor-1[Formula: see text] (HIF-1[Formula: see text] in hypoxic HCT116 cells were markedly suppressed by osthole. However, suppressing EIF2[Formula: see text] phosphorylation with salubrinal or ISRIB markedly reversed the effects of osthole on the expressions of pro-apoptotic proteins and HIF-1[Formula: see text]. Co-treatment of hypoxic HCT116 cells with osthole greatly increased the sensitivity to cisplatin and the expressions of phospho-EIF2[Formula: see text] and cleaved caspase 3. Collectively, the inhibitory effect of osthole in hypoxic HCT116 cells may be associated with EIF2[Formula: see text] phosphorylation-mediated apoptosis and translational repression of HIF-1[Formula: see text]. Taken together, osthole may be a potential agent in the treatment of colon cancer.

Abstract
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a protein degradation pathway that eliminates soluble cytoplasmic proteins that are damaged, incorrectly folded, or targeted for selective proteome remodeling. However, the role of CMA in skeletal homeostasis under physiological and pathophysiological conditions is unknown. To address the role of CMA for skeletal homeostasis, we deleted an essential component of the CMA process, namely Lamp2a, from the mouse genome. CRISPR-Cas9-based genome editing led to the deletion of both Lamp2a and Lamp2c, another Lamp2 isoform, producing Lamp2AC global knockout (L2ACgKO) mice. At 5 weeks of age female L2ACgKO mice had lower vertebral cancellous bone mass compared to wild-type (WT) controls, whereas there was no difference between genotypes in male mice at this age. The low bone mass of L2ACgKO mice was associated with elevated RANKL expression and the osteoclast marker genes Trap and Cathepsin K. At 18 weeks of age, both male and female L2ACgKO mice had lower vertebral cancellous bone mass compared to WT controls. The low bone mass of L2ACgKO mice was associated with increased osteoclastogenesis and decreased mineral deposition in cultured cells. Consistent with these findings, specific knockdown of Lamp2a in an osteoblastic cell line increased RANKL expression and decreased mineral deposition. Moreover, similar to what has been observed in other cell types, macroautophagy and proteasomal degradation were upregulated in CMA-deficient osteoblasts in culture. Thus, an increase in other protein degradation pathways may partially compensate for the loss of CMA in osteoblasts. Taken together, our results suggest that CMA plays a role in vertebral cancellous bone mass accrual in young adult mice and that this may be due to an inhibitory role of CMA on osteoclastogenesis or a positive role of CMA in osteoblast formation or function.

Suppression of the doxorubicin response by hypoxia-inducible factor-1α is strictly dependent on oxygen concentrations under hypoxic conditions. Eur J Pharmacol 2022; 920:174845.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and p53 are involved in anticancer drug resistance under hypoxic conditions. Here, we found that the cytotoxicity of anticancer drugs (doxorubicin, gemcitabine, and cisplatin) was lower at 1% O2 than at 5% O2. We examined the effects of these drugs on HIF-1α and p53 expression under different hypoxic oxygen concentrations. At 5% O2, the drugs decreased HIF-1α expression and increased p53 levels. At 1% O2, the drugs increased HIF-1α expression but did not alter p53 levels. When the HIF-1α protein was stabilized by DMOG under normoxic conditions, doxorubicin did not increase the level of p53 expression. These results show that the maintenance of HIF-1α expression blocked doxorubicin-dependent increases in p53 expression. We hypothesized the mechanism of HIF-1α protein translation might be different between at 5% and at 1% O2, because many reports indicate that the same mechanism of HIF-1α protein stabilization occurs under hypoxic conditions, such as 5% and 1% O2. The level of phosphorylated-4E-BP1, which causes translation of HIF-1α, was higher at 1% O2 than at 5% O2. Our results suggest that the sensitivity of tumor cells to anticancer drugs is dependent oxygen concentrations under hypoxic conditions, and involves 4E-BP1-dependent stabilization of the HIF-1α protein.

Abstract
In the bone marrow, B cells and bone-resorbing osteoclasts colocalize and form a specific microenvironment. How B cells functionally influence osteoclasts and bone architecture is poorly understood. Using genetically modified mice and high-throughput analyses, we demonstrate that prolonged HIF-1α signaling in B cells leads to enhanced RANKL production and osteoclast formation. In addition, deletion of HIF-1α in B cells prevents estrogen deficiency-induced bone loss in mice. Mechanistically, estrogen controls HIF-1α protein stabilization through HSP70-mediated degradation in bone marrow B cells. The stabilization of HIF-1α protein in HSP70-deficient bone marrow B cells promotes RANKL production and osteoclastogenesis. Induction of HSP70 expression by geranylgeranylacetone (GGA) administration alleviates ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis. Moreover, RANKL gene expression has a positive correlation with HIF1A expression in human B cells. In conclusion, HIF-1α signaling in B cells is crucial for the control of osteoclastogenesis, and the HSP70/HIF-1α axis may serve as a new therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

Abstract
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that binds diverse endogenous and xenobiotic ligands, which regulate AHR stability, transcriptional activity, and cell signaling. AHR activity is strongly implicated throughout the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Many diverse organic molecules bind and activate AHR and these ligands are reported to either promote glomerular and tubular damage or protect against kidney injury. AHR crosstalk with estrogen, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, and NF-κB pathways may contribute to the diversity of AHR responses during the various forms and stages of CKD. The roles of AHR in kidney fibrosis, metabolism and the renin angiotensin system are described to offer insight into CKD pathogenesis and therapies.

Abstract
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a separate type of lysosomal proteolysis, characterized by its selectivity of substrate proteins and direct translocation into lysosomes. Recent studies have declared the involvement of CMA in a variety of physiologic and pathologic situations involving the kidney, and it has emerged as a potential target for the treatment of kidney diseases. The role of CMA in kidney diseases is context-dependent and appears reciprocally with macroautophagy. Among the renal resident cells, the proximal tubule exhibits a high basal level of CMA activity, and restoration of CMA alleviates the aging-related tubular alternations. The level of CMA is up-regulated under conditions of oxidative stress, such as in acute kidney injury, while it is declined in chronic kidney disease and aging-related kidney diseases, leading to the accumulation of oxidized substrates. Suppressed CMA leads to the kidney hypertrophy in diabetes mellitus, and the increase of CMA contributes to the progress and chemoresistance in renal cell carcinoma. With the progress on the understanding of the cellular functions and uncovering the clinical scenario, the application of targeting CMA in the treatment of kidney diseases is expected.

Abstract
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) plays an important role in regulating a variety of cellular functions by selectively degrading damaged or functional proteins in the cytoplasm. One of the cellular processes in which CMA participates is the oxidative stress response. Oxidative stress regulates CMA activity, while CMA protects cells from oxidative damage by degrading oxidized proteins and preventing the accumulation of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). Changes in CMA activity have been found in many human diseases, and oxidative stress is also involved. Therefore, understanding the interaction mechanism of ROS and CMA will provide new targets for disease treatment. In this review, we discuss the role of CMA in combatting oxidative stress during the development of different conditions, such as aging, neurodegeneration, liver diseases, infections, pulmonary disorders, and cancers.

Abstract
Menisci play an essential role in shock absorption, joint stability, load resistance and its transmission thanks to their conformation. Adult menisci can be divided in three zones based on the vascularization: an avascular inner zone with no blood supply, a fully vascularized outer zone, and an intermediate zone. This organization, in addition to the incomplete knowledge about meniscal biology, composition, and gene expression, makes meniscal regeneration still one of the major challenges both in orthopedics and in tissue engineering. To overcome this issue, we aimed to investigate the role of hypoxia in the differentiation of the three anatomical areas of newborn piglet menisci (anterior horn (A), central body (C), and posterior horn (P)) and its effects on vascular factors. After sample collection, menisci were divided in A, C, P, and they were cultured in vitro under hypoxic (1% O2) and normoxic (21% O2) conditions at four different experimental time points (T0 = day of explant; T7 = day 7; T10 = day 10; T14 = day 14); samples were then evaluated through immune, histological, and molecular analyses, cell morpho-functional characteristics; with particular focus on matrix composition and expression of vascular factors. It was observed that hypoxia retained the initial phenotype of cells and induced extracellular matrix production resembling a mature tissue. Hypoxia also modulated the expression of angiogenic factors, especially in the early phase of the study. Thus, we observed that hypoxia contributes to the fibro-chondrogenic differentiation with the involvement of angiogenic factors, especially in the posterior horn, which corresponds to the predominant weight-bearing portion.

Abstract
The basic function of β-arrestin 2 (Arrb2) is to negatively regulate the G-protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway through facilitating receptor desensitization and internalization. Arrb2 has also been reported to play various roles in cancer pathology including the proliferation, migration, invasion, metastasis, and apoptosis of solid tumors. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the tumorigenic capacities of Arrb2 have not been elucidated. Here, we show a novel function of Arrb2: Arrb2 facilitates the degradation of HIF-1α, which is a master regulator of oxygen homeostasis. We also demonstrate that Arrb2 interacts with HIF-1α and stimulates ubiquitin-mediated 26S proteasomal degradation of HIF-1α by recruiting PHD2 and pVHL. Overexpression of Arrb2 in human glioblastoma cells suppresses HIF-1α signaling, tumor growth, and angiogenesis. Consistent with this antitumorigenic effect of Arrb2, low Arrb2 expression levels correlate with high HIF-1α expression and poor glioblastoma patient survival. These results collectively reveal a novel function of Arrb2 in the oxygen-sensing mechanism that directly regulates HIF-1α stability in human cancers and suggest Arrb2 as a new potential therapeutic target for glioblastoma.

Abstract
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a proteolytic process whereby selected intracellular proteins are degraded inside lysosomes. Owing to its selectivity, CMA participates in the modulation of specific regulatory proteins, thereby playing an important role in multiple cellular processes. Studies conducted over the last two decades have enabled the molecular characterization of this autophagic pathway and the design of specific experimental models, and have underscored the importance of CMA in a range of physiological processes beyond mere protein quality control. Those findings also indicate that decreases in CMA function with increasing age may contribute to the pathogenesis of age-associated diseases, including neurodegeneration and cancer. In the context of neurological diseases, CMA impairment is thought to contribute to the accumulation of misfolded/aggregated proteins, a process central to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. CMA therefore constitutes a potential therapeutic target, as its induction accelerates the clearance of pathogenic proteins, promoting cell survival. More recent evidence has highlighted the important and complex role of CMA in cancer biology. While CMA induction may limit tumor development, experimental evidence also indicates that inhibition of this pathway can attenuate the growth of established tumors and improve the response to cancer therapeutics. Here, we describe and discuss the evidence supporting a role of impaired CMA function in neurodegeneration and cancer, as well as future research directions to evaluate the potential of this pathway as a target for the prevention and treatment of these diseases.

Abstract
Autophagy is a highly conserved mechanism of delivering cytoplasmic components for lysosomal degradation. Among the three major autophagic pathways, chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is primarily characterized by its selective nature of protein degradation, which is mediated by heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (HSC70: also known as HSPA8) recognition of the KFERQ peptide motif in target proteins. Lysosome-associated membrane protein type 2A (LAMP2A) is responsible for substrate binding and internalization to lysosomes, and thus, the lysosomal expression level of LAMP2A is a rate-limiting factor for CMA. Recent advances have uncovered not only physiological but also pathological role of CMA in multiple organs, including neurodegenerative disorders, kidney diseases, liver diseases, heart diseases, and cancers through the accumulation of unwanted proteins or increased degradation of target proteins with concomitant metabolic alterations resulting from CMA malfunction. With respect to pulmonary disorders, the involvement of CMA has been demonstrated in lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathogenesis through regulating apoptosis. Further understanding of CMA machinery may shed light on the molecular mechanisms of refractory disorders and lead to novel treatment modalities through CMA modulation.

Abstract
Autophagy is a core molecular pathway for the preservation of cellular and organismal homeostasis. Pharmacological and genetic interventions impairing autophagy responses promote or aggravate disease in a plethora of experimental models. Consistently, mutations in autophagy-related processes cause severe human pathologies. Here, we review and discuss preclinical data linking autophagy dysfunction to the pathogenesis of major human disorders including cancer as well as cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, metabolic, pulmonary, renal, infectious, musculoskeletal, and ocular disorders.

Abstract
The major adaptive response to hypoxia involves hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1α which is regulated by von Hippel Lindau (VHL) E3 ligase. We previously observed a stabilization of HIF-1α by cyclin-dependent kinases CDK1 and CDK4/6 that is independent of VHL, hypoxia or p53, and found that CDK4/6 inhibitors destabilize HIF-1α under normoxia and hypoxia. To further investigate the molecular mechanism of HIF-1α destabilization by CDK1 or CDK4/6 inhibitors, we performed a proteomic screen on immunoprecipitated HIF-1α from hypoxic colorectal cancer cells that were either untreated or treated with CDK1 inhibitor Ro3306 and CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib. Our proteomics screen identified a number of candidates that were enriched in palbociclib-treated hypoxic cells including SMAD specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2 (Smurf2). We also identified a HIF-1α peptide that appeared to be differentially phosphorylated after palbociclib treatment. Gene knockdown of SMURF2 increased basal expression of HIF-1α even in the presence of Ro3306 or two different CDK4/6 inhibitors, palbociclib and abemaciclib. Overexpression of Smurf2 inhibited expression of HIF-1α and enhanced HIF-1α ubiquitination in normoxia. Proteasome inhibitor MG-132 partially rescued HIF-1α expression when Smurf2 was overexpressed. Smurf2 overexpression also inhibited HIF-1α expression level in two other cell lines, SW480 and VHL-deficient RCC4. Overexpression of SMURF2 mRNA is correlated with improved disease-free survival and overall survival in clear cell renal cell cancer. Our results unravel a previously unknown mechanism involving Smurf2 for HIF-1α destabilization in CDK4/6 inhibitor-treated cells, thereby shedding light on VHL-independent HIF-1α regulation.

Abstract
Autophagy (a process of cellular self-eating) is a conserved cellular degradative process that plays important roles in maintaining homeostasis and preventing nutritional, metabolic, and infection-mediated stresses. Surprisingly, little attention has been paid to the role of this cellular function in species of agronomical interest, and the details of how autophagy functions in the development of phenotypes of agricultural interest remain largely unexplored. Here, we first provide a brief description of the main mechanisms involved in autophagy, then review our current knowledge regarding autophagy in species of agronomical interest, with particular attention to physiological functions supporting livestock animal production, and finally assess the potential of translating the acquired knowledge to improve animal development, growth and health in the context of growing social, economic and environmental challenges for agriculture.Abbreviations: AKT: AKT serine/threonine kinase; AMPK: AMP-activated protein kinase; ASC: adipose-derived stem cells; ATG: autophagy-related; BECN1: beclin 1; BNIP3: BCL2 interacting protein 3; BVDV: bovine viral diarrhea virus; CALCOCO2/NDP52: calcium binding and coiled-coil domain 2; CMA: chaperone-mediated autophagy; CTSB: cathepsin B; CTSD: cathepsin D; DAP: Death-Associated Protein; ER: endoplasmic reticulum; GFP: green fluorescent protein; Gln: Glutamine; HSPA8/HSC70: heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 8; IF: immunofluorescence; IVP: in vitro produced; LAMP2A: lysosomal associated membrane protein 2A; LMS: lysosomal membrane stability; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MDBK: Madin-Darby bovine kidney; MSC: mesenchymal stem cells; MTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; MTORC1: MTOR complex 1; NBR1: NBR1 autophagy cargo receptor; NDV: Newcastle disease virus; NECTIN4: nectin cell adhesion molecule 4; NOD1: nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 1; OCD: osteochondritis dissecans; OEC: oviduct epithelial cells; OPTN: optineurin; PI3K: phosphoinositide-3-kinase; PPRV: peste des petits ruminants virus; RHDV: rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; TEM: transmission electron microscopy.

Abstract
Oxygen-sensing mechanisms have evolved to allow organisms to respond and adapt to oxygen availability. In metazoans, oxygen-sensing is predominantly mediated by the hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs). These transcription factors are stabilised when oxygen is limiting, activating genes involved in angiogenesis, cell growth, pH regulation and metabolism to reset cell function and adapt to the cellular environment. However, the recognition that other cellular pathways and enzymes can also respond to changes in oxygen abundance provides further complexity. Dissecting this interplay of oxygen-sensing mechanisms has been a key research goal. Here, we review how genetic approaches have contributed to our knowledge of oxygen-sensing pathways which to date have been predominantly focused on the HIF pathway. We discuss how genetic studies have advanced the field and outline the implications and limitations of such approaches for the development of therapies targeting oxygen-sensing mechanisms in human disease.

Abstract
Background Enhanced glucose uptake and autophagy are means by which cells adapt to stressful microenvironments. In this study, we investigated the roles of glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) and autophagy in laryngeal carcinoma stem cells under hypoxic and low-glucose conditions. Materials and Methods CD133-positive Tu212 laryngeal carcinoma stem cells were purified by magnetic-activated cell sorting and subjected to hypoxic and/or low-glucose conditions. Proliferation was evaluated using a cell-counting kit and a clone-formation assay, and migration capability was measured through a Transwell assay. Autophagy was assessed using transmission electron microscopy. Gene silencing was monitored using shRNA technology and autophagy regulation was manipulated using rapamycin, 3-MA, or chloroquine. Gene expression levels were evaluated by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and protein levels were assessed via Western blotting. Results Compared to CD133-negative cells, CD133-positive cells showed increased proliferation and migration capabilities, and reduced apoptosis, under hypoxic or low-glucose conditions. CD133-positive cells also showed increased expression of GLUT-1 and autophagy activity. Finally, GLUT-1 knockdown or autophagy inhibition reduced the proliferation and migration of CD133-positive laryngeal carcinoma stem cells. Conclusion Enhanced glucose uptake and autophagy maintain the tumor behaviors of CD133-positive laryngeal carcinoma stem cells under hypoxic and low-glucose conditions.
