Jiang W, Yu L, Mu N, Zhang Z, Ma H. MG53 inhibits ferroptosis by targeting the p53/SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway to alleviate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Free Radic Biol Med 2024; 223:224-236. [PMID: 39111582 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2024.08.001] [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: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 07/17/2024] [Accepted: 08/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline medication that is commonly used to treat solid tumors. However, DOX has limited clinical efficacy due to known cardiotoxicity. Ferroptosis is involved in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Although mitsugumin-53 (MG53) has cardioprotective effects and is expected to attenuate myocardial ischemic injury, its ability to inhibit DOX-induced ferroptosis has not been extensively studied. This research aims to investigate the pathophysiological impact of MG53 on DOX induced ferroptosis. Here, MG53 levels were evaluated in relation to the extent of ferroptosis by establishing in vivo and in vitro DIC mouse models. Additionally, myocardial specific MG53 overexpressing mice were used to study the effect of MG53 on cardiac function in DIC mice. The study found that the MG53 expression decreased in DOX treated mouse hearts or cardiomyocytes. However, MG53-overexpressing improved cardiac function in the DIC model and effectively reduced myocardial ferroptosis by increasing solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) levels, which were decreased by DOX. Mechanistically, MG53 binds to tumor suppressor 53 (p53) to regulate its ubiquitination and degradation. Ferroptosis induced by DOX was prevented by either MG53 overexpression or p53 knockdown in cardiomyocytes. The modulation of the p53/SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway by overexpression of MG53 can alleviate DOX induced ferroptosis. The study indicates that MG53 can provide protection against DIC by increasing p53 ubiquitination. These results highlight the previously unidentified role of MG53 in inhibiting ferroptosis to prevent DIC.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2024; 1870:167318.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a prevalent cause of myocardial injury, involving a series of interconnected pathophysiological processes. However, there is currently no clinical therapy for effectively mitigating myocardial I/R injury. Here, we show that p85α protein levels increase in response to I/R injury through a comprehensive analysis of cardiac proteomics, and confirm this in the I/R-injured murine heart and failing human myocardium. Genetic inhibition of p85α in mice activates the Akt-GSK3β/Bcl-x(L) signaling pathway and ameliorates I/R-induced cardiac dysfunction, apoptosis, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. p85α silencing in cardiomyocytes alleviates hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) injury through activating the Akt-GSK3β/Bcl-x(L) signaling pathway, while its overexpression exacerbates the damage. Mechanistically, the interaction between MG53 and p85α triggers the ubiquitination and degradation of p85α, consequently enhancing Akt phosphorylation and ultimately having cardioprotective effects. Collectively, our findings reveal that substantial reduction of p85α and subsequently activated Akt signaling have a protective effect against cardiac I/R injury, representing an important therapeutic strategy for mitigating myocardial damage.

Cyclophilin D induces necrotic core formation by mediating mitochondria-associated macrophage death in advanced atherosclerotic lesions. Atherosclerosis 2024; 396:118524. [PMID: 38972156 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.118524] [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: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In advanced atherosclerotic lesions, macrophage deaths result in necrotic core formation and plaque vulnerability. Cyclophilin D (CypD) is a mitochondria-specific cyclophilin involved in the process of cell death after organ ischemia-reperfusion. However, the role of CypD in atherosclerosis, especially in necrotic core formation, is unknown. Therefore, this experiment aims to clarify the role of CypD in necrotic core formation. METHODS To clarify the specific role of CypD, encoded by Ppif in mice, apolipoprotein-E/CypD-double knockout (Apoe-/-Ppif-/-) mice were generated. These mice were fed a high-fat diet containing 0.15 % cholesterol for 24 weeks to accelerate atherosclerotic lesion development. RESULTS Deletion of CypD decreased the necrotic core size, accompanied by a reduction of macrophage apoptosis compared to control Apoe-/- mice. In RAW264.7 cells, siRNA-mediated knockdown of CypD attenuated the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria to the cytosol induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress inducer thapsigargin. In addition, necroptosis, induced by TNF-α and caspase inhibitor, was attenuated by knockdown of CypD. Ly-6Chigh inflammatory monocytes in peripheral blood leukocytes and mRNA expression of Il1b in the aorta were decreased by deletion of CypD. In contrast, siRNA-mediated knockdown of CypD did not significantly decrease Il1b nor Ccl2 mRNA expression in RAW264.7 cells treated with LPS and IFN-γ, suggesting that inhibition of inflammation in vivo is likely due to decreased cell death in the atherosclerotic lesions rather than a direct action of CypD deletion on the macrophage. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that CypD induces macrophage death and mediates necrotic core formation in advanced atherosclerotic lesions. CypD could be a novel therapeutic target for treating atherosclerotic vascular diseases.

Abstract
MG53, a member of the tripartite motif protein family, possesses multiple functionalities due to its classic membrane repair function, anti-inflammatory ability, and E3 ubiquitin ligase properties. Initially recognized for its crucial role in membrane repair, the therapeutic potential of MG53 has been extensively explored in various diseases including muscle injury, myocardial damage, acute lung injury, and acute kidney injury. However, further research has revealed that the E3 ubiquitin ligase characteristics of MG53 also contribute to the pathogenesis of certain conditions such as diabetic cardiomyopathy, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Moreover, recent studies have highlighted the anti-tumor effects of MG53 in different types of cancer, such as small cell lung cancer, liver cancer, and colorectal cancer; these effects are closely associated with their E3 ubiquitin ligase activities. In summary, MG53 is a multifunctional protein that participates in important physiological and pathological processes of multiple organs and is a promising therapeutic target for various human diseases. MG53 plays a multi-organ protective role due to its membrane repair function and its exertion of anti-tumor effects due to its E3 ubiquitin ligase properties. In addition, the controversial aspect of MG53's E3 ubiquitin ligase properties potentially causing insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome necessitates further cross-validation for clarity.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathies (CMs) are highly heterogeneous progressive heart diseases characterised by structural and functional abnormalities of the heart, whose intricate pathogenesis has resulted in a lack of effective treatment options. Mitsugumin 53 (MG53), also known as Tripartite motif protein 72 (TRIM72), is a tripartite motif family protein from the immuno-proteomic library expressed primarily in the heart and skeletal muscle. Recent studies have identified MG53 as a potential cardioprotective protein that may play a crucial role in CMs. Therefore, the objective of this review is to comprehensively examine the underlying mechanisms mediated by MG53 responsible for myocardial protection, elucidate the potential role of MG53 in various CMs as well as its dominant status in the diagnosis and prognosis of human myocardial injury, and evaluate the potential therapeutic value of recombinant human MG53 (rhMG53) in CMs. It is expected to yield novel perspectives regarding the clinical diagnosis and therapeutic treatment of CMs.

Abstract
AIMS Subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are characterized by a high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. MG53, a marker of peripheral insulin resistance, has been linked with impaired β-cell function and decreased β-cell survival, and its circulating levels are increased in T2D. Its relationship with the cardiovascular risk profile and mortality in T2D is currently unknown. METHODS In this longitudinal study, MG53 was measured in serum samples collected at baseline for 296 Caucasian participants in the MIND.IT study, relating its circulating levels with the cardiovascular risk profile and all-cause mortality over a 17-years follow up. RESULTS As compared to a reference cohort of 234 healthy subjects, MG53 levels were higher in T2D individuals (p < 0.001), and higher in T2D women than in men (p = 0.001). In the whole study cohort, MG53 levels were directly related to HbA1c (r2 0.029; p = 0.006) and systolic blood pressure (r2 0.032; p = 0.004). There was no difference in baseline MG53 levels between deceased and alive participants, neither predict all-cause mortality. CONCLUSIONS MG53 does not mark the cardiovascular risk profile neither predict long-term mortality in Caucasian T2D individuals.
