Abstract
Sustainable retinal codelivery poses significant challenges technically, although it is imperative for synergistic treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD). Here, a microemulsion-doped hydrogel (Bor/PT-M@TRG) is engineered as an intravitreal depot composing of temperature-responsive hydrogel (TRG) and borneol-decorated paeoniflorin (PF) & tetramethylpyrazine (TMP)-coloaded microemulsions (Bor/PT-M). Bor/PT-M@TRG, functioning as the "ammunition depot", resides in the vitreous and continuously releases Bor/PT-M as the therapeutic "bullet", enabling deep penetration into the retina for 21 days. A single intravitreal injection of Bor/PT-M@TRG yields substantial reductions in choroidal neovascularization (CNV, a hallmark feature of wAMD) progression and mitigates oxidative stress-induced damage in vivo. Combinational PF&TMP regulates the "reactive oxygen species/nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1" pathway and blocks the "hypoxia inducible factor-1α/vascular endothelial growth factor" signaling in retina, synergistically cutting off the loop of CNV formation. Utilizing fluorescence resonance energy transfer and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques, they present compelling multifaceted evidence of sustainable retinal codelivery spanning formulations, ARPE-19 cells, in vivo eye balls, and ex vivo section/retina-choroid complex cell levels. Such codelivery approach is elucidated as the key driving force behind the exceptional therapeutic outcomes of Bor/PT-M@TRG. These findings highlight the significance of sustainable retinal drug codelivery and rational combination for effective treatment of wAMD.

Abstract
The response of cells to extracellular signals is mediated by a variety of intracellular signaling pathways that determine stimulus-dependent cell fates. One such pathway is the cJun-N-terminal Kinase (JNK) cascade, which is mainly involved in stress-related processes. The cascade transmits its signals via a sequential activation of protein kinases, organized into three to five tiers. Proper regulation is essential for securing a proper cell fate after stimulation, and the mechanisms that regulate this cascade may involve the following: (1) Activatory or inhibitory phosphorylations, which induce or abolish signal transmission. (2) Regulatory dephosphorylation by various phosphatases. (3) Scaffold proteins that bring distinct components of the cascade in close proximity to each other. (4) Dynamic change of subcellular localization of the cascade's components. (5) Degradation of some of the components. In this review, we cover these regulatory mechanisms and emphasize the mechanism by which the JNK cascade transmits apoptotic signals. We also describe the newly discovered PP2A switch, which is an important mechanism for JNK activation that induces apoptosis downstream of the Gq protein coupled receptors. Since the JNK cascade is involved in many cellular processes that determine cell fate, addressing its regulatory mechanisms might reveal new ways to treat JNK-dependent pathologies.

Abstract
Humans have consumed lard for thousands of years, but in recent decades, it has become much less popular because it is regarded as saturated fat. Animal studies showed that lard plus soybean oil (blend oil) was more advantageous for liver health than using either oil alone. This study aims to assess the effects of blend oil on liver function markers in healthy subjects. The 345 healthy subjects were randomized into 3 isoenergetic diet groups with different edible oils (30 g/day) (soybean oil, lard, and blend oil (50% lard and 50% soybean oil)) for 12 weeks. The reductions in both aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were greater in the blend oil group than in the two other groups (p = 0.001 and <0.001 for the interaction between diet group and time, respectively). The reductions in AST and ALT in the blend oil group were more significant compared with those in the soybean oil group (p < 0.001) or lard group (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the other liver function markers between the groups. Thus, blend oil was beneficial for liver function markers such as AST and ALT compared with soybean oil and lard alone, which might help prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the healthy population.

Abstract
Following insults or injury, microglia cells are activated contributing to the cytotoxic response or by promoting an immune-mediated damage resolution. Microglia cells express HCA2R, a hydroxy carboxylic acid (HCA) receptor, which has been shown to mediate neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study we found that HCAR2 expression levels were increased in cultured rat microglia cells after Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure. In a similar fashion, the treatment with MK 1903, a potent full agonist of HCAR2, increased the receptor protein levels. Moreover, HCAR2 stimulation prevented i) cells viability ii) morphological activation iii) pro/anti-inflammatory mediators production in LPS-treated cells. Likewise, HCAR2 stimulation reduced the proinflammatory mediators mRNA expression induced by neuronal chemokine fractalkine (FKN), a neuronal derived chemokine activating its unique receptor, chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) on microglia surface. Interestingly, electrophysiological recordings in vivo revealed that MK1903 was able to prevent the increase of the nociceptive neurons (NS) firing activity mediated by the spinal FKN application in healthy rats. Collectively, our data demonstrate that HCAR2 is functionally expressed in microglia, by showing its capability to shift microglia toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Moreover, we indicated the contribute of HCAR2 in the FKN signaling and suggested a possible HCAR2/CX3CR1 functional interaction. This study paves the way for further investigations aimed at understanding the role HCAR2 as potential target in neuroinflammation-based CNS disorders. This article is part of the Special Issue on "The receptor-receptor interaction as a new target for therapy".

Abstract
Periparturient cows are commonly fed diets supplemented with Niacin (nicotinic acid, NA) because of its anti-lipolytic properties. NA confers its anti-lipolytic effects by activating the hydroxycarboxylic acid 2 receptor (HCA2). HCA2 is also activated by the ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and circulating BHB levels are elevated in postpartum dairy cows. The HCA2 receptor is highly expressed in bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and could link metabolic and innate immune responses in cattle. We investigated how HCA2 agonists affected bovine PMN function in vitro. We studied different PMN responses, such as granule release, surface expression of CD11b and CD47, generation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and apoptosis. NA, BHB, and 4,4aR,5,5aR-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa [4,5] cyclopenta [1,2-c] pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (MK-1903) treatment triggered the release of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), a component of the tertiary granule, from neutrophils. Additionally, all HCA2 agonists induced NETs formation but did not affect surface expression of CD11b and CD47. Finally, none of the HCA2 agonists triggered apoptosis in bovine PMN. This information will give new insights into the potential role of the HCA2 receptor in the bovine innate immune response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The lipid oxidation is a key factor for damaging hepatocytes and causing cell death. However, the mechanisms underlying hepatocyte death and the role of the most popular lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remains unclear. METHODS We demonstrated using hepatoma cell lines, a NASH mouse model, HNE-treated monkeys, and biopsy specimens from patients with NASH that HNE induced hepatocyte death by disintegrating the lysosomal limiting membrane. RESULTS The degree of HNE deposition in human NASH hepatocytes was more severe in cases with high lobular inflammation, ballooning, and fibrosis scores, and was associated with enlargement of the staining of lysosomes in hepatocytes. In in vitro experiments, HNE activated μ-calpain via G-protein coupled receptor (GPR) 120. The resultant rupture/permeabilization of the lysosomal limiting membrane induced the leakage of cathepsins from lysosomes and hepatocyte death. The blockade of G-protein coupled receptor 120 (GPR120) or μ-calpain expression suppressed lysosomal membrane damage and hepatocyte death by HNE. Alda-1, which activates aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 to degrade HNE, prevented HNE-induced hepatocyte death. Intravenous administration of HNE to monkeys for 6 months resulted in hepatocyte death by a mechanism similar to that of cultured cells. In addition, intraperitoneal administration of Alda-1 to choline-deficient, amino-acid defined treated mice for 8 weeks inhibited HNE deposition, decreased liver inflammation, and disrupted lysosomal membranes in hepatocytes, resulting in improvement of liver fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS These results provide novel insights into the mechanism of hepatocyte death in NASH and will contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies for NASH.

Abstract
4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), the most toxic end-product of lipid peroxidation formed during oxidative stress, has been implicated in many diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic diseases, myocardial diseases, cancer and age-related diseases. 4-HNE can actively react with DNA, proteins and lipids, causing rapid cell death. The accumulation of 4-HNE leads to induction of autophagy, which clears damaged proteins and organelles. However, the underlying mechanism of 4-HNE-regulated autophagy is still not known. Transcriptional factor EB (TFEB) is a master regulator of lysosomal and autophagic functions, which we show here that TFEB is activated by 4-HNE. 4-HNE induces TFEB nuclear translocation and activated TFEB then upregulates the expression of genes required for autophagic and lysosomal biogenesis and function. Reactive oxygen species and Ca2+ are required in this process and TFEB activity is required for 4-HNE-mediated lysosomal function. Most importantly, genetic inhibition of TFEB (TFEB-KO) exacerbates 4-HNE-induced cell death, suggesting that TFEB is essential for cellular adaptive response to 4-HNE-induced cell damage. Hence, targeting TFEB to promote autophagic and lysosomal function may represent a promising approach to treat neurodegenerative and metabolic diseases in which 4-HNE accumulation has been implicated.

Abstract
Background For their functions of insulin biosynthesis and glucose- and fatty acid- mediated insulin secretion, Langerhans β-cells require an intracellular milieu rich in oxygen. This requirement makes β-cells, with their constitutively low antioxidative defense, susceptible to the oxidative stress. Although much progress has been made in identifying its molecular basis in experimental systems, whether the oxidative stress due to excessive fatty acids plays a crucial role in the Langerhans cell degeneration in primates is still debated. Methods Focusing on Hsp70.1, which has dual functions as molecular chaperone and lysosomal stabilizer, the mechanism of lipotoxicity to Langerhans cells was studied using macaque monkeys after the consecutive injections of the lipid peroxidation product ‘hydroxynonenal’. Based on the ‘calpain-cathepsin hypothesis’ formulated in 1998, calpain activation, Hsp70.1 cleavage, and lysosomal integrity were studied by immunofluorescence histochemistry, electron microscopy, and Western blotting. Results Light microscopy showed more abundant vacuole formation in the hydroxynonenal-treated islet cells than the control cells. Electron microscopy showed that vacuolar changes, which were identified as enlarged rough ER, occurred mainly in β-cells followed by δ-cells. Intriguingly, both cell types showed a marked decrease in insulin and somatostatin granules. Furthermore, they exhibited marked increases in peroxisomes, autophagosomes/autolysosomes, lysosomal and peroxisomal membrane rupture/permeabilization, and mitochondrial degeneration. Disrupted peroxisomes were often localized in the close vicinity of degenerating mitochondria or autolysosomes. Immunofluorescence histochemical analysis showed an increased co-localization of activated μ-calpain and Hsp70.1 with the extralysosomal release of cathepsin B. Western blotting showed increases in μ-calpain activation, Hsp70.1 cleavage, and expression of the hydroxynonenal receptor GPR109A. Conclusions Taken together, these data implicate hydroxynonenal in both oxidation of Hsp70.1 and activation of μ-calpain. The calpain-mediated cleavage of the carbonylated Hsp70.1, may cause lysosomal membrane rupture/permeabilization. The low defense of primate Langerhans cells against hydroxynonenal and peroxisomally-generated hydrogen peroxide, was presumably overwhelmed to facilitate cell degeneration.

Abstract
Hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA2) is vital for sensing intermediates of metabolism, including β-hydroxybutyrate and butyrate. It also regulates profound anti-inflammatory effects in various tissues, indicating that HCA2 may serve as an essential therapeutic target for mediating inflammation-associated diseases. Butyrate and niacin, endogenous and exogenous ligands of HCA2, have been reported to play an essential role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. HCA2, predominantly expressed in diverse immune cells, is also present in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), where it regulates the intricate communication network between diet, microbiota, and immune cells. This review summarizes the physiological role of HCA2 in intestinal homeostasis and its pathological role in intestinal inflammation and cancer.

Commun Biol 2021; 4:53. [PMID: 33420329 PMCID: PMC7794563 DOI: 10.1038/s42003-020-01564-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2020] [Accepted: 11/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The G protein-coupled receptor 109 A (GPR109A) is robustly expressed in osteoclastic precursor macrophages. Previous studies suggested that GPR109A mediates effects of diet-derived phenolic acids such as hippuric acid (HA) and 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid (3-3-PPA) on promoting bone formation. However, the role of GPR109A in metabolic bone homeostasis and osteoclast differentiation has not been investigated. Using densitometric, bone histologic and molecular signaling analytic methods, we uncovered that bone mass and strength were significantly higher in tibia and spine of standard rodent diet weaned 4-week-old and 6-month-old GPR109A gene deletion (GPR109A-/-) mice, compared to their wild type controls. Osteoclast numbers in bone and in ex vivo bone marrow cell cultures were significantly decreased in GPR109A-/- mice compared to wild type controls. In accordance with these data, CTX-1 in bone marrow plasma and gene expression of bone resorption markers (TNFα, TRAP, Cathepsin K) were significantly decreased in GPR109A-/- mice, while on the other hand, P1NP was increased in serum from both male and female GPR109A-/- mice compared to their respective controls. GPR109A deletion led to suppressed Wnt/β-catenin signaling in osteoclast precursors to inhibit osteoclast differentiation and activity. Indeed, HA and 3-3-PPA substantially inhibited RANKL-induced GPR109A expression and Wnt/β-catenin signaling in osteoclast precursors and osteoclast differentiation. Resultantly, HA significantly inhibited bone resorption and increased bone mass in wild type mice, but had no additional effects on bone in GPR109A-/- mice compared with their respective untreated control mice. These results suggest an important role for GPR109A during osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption mediating effects of HA and 3-3-PPA on inhibiting bone resorption during skeletal development.

Adv Nutr 2020; 11:1489-1509. [PMID: 32623461 PMCID: PMC7666899 DOI: 10.1093/advances/nmaa072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2019] [Revised: 10/30/2019] [Accepted: 05/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Although excessive consumption of deep-fried foods is regarded as 1 of the most important epidemiological factors of lifestyle diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, the exact mechanism remains unknown. This review aims to discuss whether heated cooking oil-derived peroxidation products cause cell degeneration/death for the occurrence of lifestyle diseases. Deep-fried foods cooked in ω-6 PUFA-rich vegetable oils such as rapeseed (canola), soybean, sunflower, and corn oils, already contain or intrinsically generate "hydroxynonenal" by peroxidation. As demonstrated previously, hydroxynonenal promotes carbonylation of heat-shock protein 70.1 (Hsp70.1), with the resultant impaired ability of cells to recycle damaged proteins and stabilize the lysosomal membrane. Until now, the implication of lysosomal/autophagy failure due to the daily consumption of ω-6 PUFA-rich vegetable oils in the progression of cell degeneration/death has not been reported. Since the "calpain-cathepsin hypothesis" was formulated as a cause of ischemic neuronal death in 1998, its relevance to Alzheimer's neuronal death has been suggested with particular attention to hydroxynonenal. However, its relevance to cell death of the hypothalamus, liver, and pancreas, especially related to appetite/energy control, is unknown. The hypothalamus senses information from both adipocyte-derived leptin and circulating free fatty acids. Concentrations of circulating fatty acid and its oxidized form, especially hydroxynonenal, are increased in obese and/or aged subjects. As overactivation of the fatty acid receptor G-protein coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) in response to excessive or oxidized fatty acids in these subjects may lead to the disruption of Ca2+ homeostasis, it should be evaluated whether GPR40 overactivation contributes to diverse cell death. Here, we describe the molecular implication of ω-6 PUFA-rich vegetable oil-derived hydroxynonenal in lysosomal destabilization leading to cell death. By oxidizing Hsp70.1, both the dietary PUFA- (exogenous) and the membrane phospholipid- (intrinsic) peroxidation product "hydroxynonenal," when combined, may play crucial roles in the occurrence of diverse lifestyle diseases including Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell dysfunction and death play vital roles in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) pathogenesis. Previously we showed that oxidative cleavage of docosahexenoate (DHA) phospholipids generates an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde, 4-hydroxy-7-oxohept-4-enoic acid (HOHA) lactone, that forms ω-carboxyethylpyrrole (CEP) derivatives through adduction to proteins and ethanolamine phospholipids. CEP derivatives and autoantibodies accumulate in the retinas and blood plasma of individuals with AMD and are a biomarker of AMD. They promote the choroidal neovascularization of "wet AMD". Immunization of mice with CEP-modified mouse serum albumin induces "dry AMD"-like lesions in their retinas as well as interferon-gamma and interleukin-17 production by CEP-specific T cells that promote inflammatory M1 polarization of macrophages. The present study confirms that oxidative stress or inflammatory stimulus produces CEP in both the primary human ARPE-19 cell line and hRPE cells. Exposure of these cells to HOHA lactone fosters production of reactive oxygen species. Thus, HOHA lactone participates in a vicious cycle, promoting intracellular oxidative stress leading to oxidative cleavage of DHA to produce more HOHA lactone. We now show that HOHA lactone is cytotoxic, inducing apoptotic cell death through activation of the intrinsic pathway. This suggests that therapeutic interventions targeting HOHA lactone-induced apoptosis may prevent the loss of RPE cells during the early phase of AMD. We also discovered that ARPE-19 cells are more susceptible than hRPE cells to HOHA lactone cytotoxicity. This is consistent with the view that, compared to normal RPE cells, ARPE-19 cells exhibit a diseased RPE phenotype that also includes elevated expression of the mesenchymal indicator vimentin, elevated integrin a5 promotor strength and deficient secretion of the anti-VEGF molecule pigment-epithelium-derived factor fostering weaker tight junctions.

Abstract
As the precursor to NAD+ and NADP+, niacin is important for catabolic and anabolic redox reactions. In addition, niacin is known for its anti-lipolytic action via a hydroxycarboxylic acid-2-receptor-dependent mechanism. The anti-lipolytic effects of traditional free niacin supplementation during transition periods had been studied extensively, but the reported effects are ambiguous. In the past decade, a series of studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of rumen-protected niacin (RPN) on production performance and metabolic status in early lactation and on heat stress in dairy cows. Feeding RPN seems more effective than free niacin regarding increasing circulating niacin concentration. The rebound of plasma NEFA was found after termination of niacin abomasal infusion. Feeding RPN or infusion of niacin via the abomasum could suppress lipolysis and reduce insulin resistance in early lactation. Additionally, RPN supplementation could possibly relieve heat stress through vasodilation during moderate to severe heat stress condition. However, these beneficial effects of niacin supplementation have not always been observed. The inconsistent results across studies may be related to dosages of niacin supplementation, rebound of plasma NEFA concentration, stage of lactation or severity of heat stress. Overall, the current review is to present updated information on niacin nutrition in dairy cows and the recommendations are given for future research.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and subsequent chronic inflammation result in dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and represent therapeutic targets in the context of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, molecular mechanisms that linked oxidative stress and inflammation still unclear. As an important byproduct of oxidative stress, 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) induces apoptosis and lysosome dysregulation of RPE cells. In the present study, we evaluated cytokines production of RPE cells induced by 4-HNE by using cytokine array and confirmed that 4-HNE induced IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α production in a concentration dependent manner. Specifically, 4-HNE also induced IL-10 and TGF-β production in low concentration. Molecular analysis revealed that intracellular HSP70 inhibited 4-HNE-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and 4-HNE exerted proinflammatory effects in RPE cells by enhancing extracellular release of HSP70, as efflux inhibitor Methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MBC) treatment significantly blocked the release of HSP70 and decreased IL-6 production of RPE cells induced by 4-HNE. Meanwhile, HSP70 inducer arimoclomol increased intracellular HSP70 production, but showed no influence on its extracellular level, also performed anti-inflammatory effects in 4-HNE-stimulated RPE cells. Whereas the anti-inflammatory effects of paeoniflorin, an HSP70 inducer simultaneously promoted its extracellular efflux, was lower than arimoclomol. In addition, we further confirmed that MBC exhibited synergetic effect with both paeoniflorin and arimoclomol to inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines induced by 4-HNE. Taken together, these results indicate that HSP70 plays a vital role in regulating inflammation of RPE cells induced by oxidative stress and might be a potential novel target for clinical treatment of AMD.

Abstract
4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE) is a highly reactive end-product of lipid peroxidation reaction that leads to retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell damage. Cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G), the most abundant anthocyanin in the edible parts of plants, is a nutritional supplement used for preventing retinal damage. However, the protective effect of C3G against HNE-induced RPE cell damage remains to be elucidated. The protective mechanisms of C3G on ARPE-19 cells after HNE exposure were investigated in this study. Results showed that compared with HNE-treated cells, the viability of ARPE-19 cells was significantly (P < 0.05) increased after 1 and 5 μM C3G treatment. C3G exhibited a significant (P < 0.05) inhibitory effect on the expression of senescence-associated β-galactosidase in ARPE-19 cells. VEGF levels in the C3G groups were significantly (P < 0.05) decreased relative to those of the HNE-treated group. C3G also regulated the release of two inflammatory mediators, namely monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 and interleukine-8, in ARPE-19 cells after HNE treatment. Furthermore, C3G attenuated retinal cell apoptosis in pigmented rabbits induced by visible light. Therefore, our data showed that C3G has efficient protective effects on HNE-induced apoptosis, angiogenesis, and dysregulated cytokine production in ARPE-19 cells.

Abstract
The incidence of overweight and obesity has become a global public health problem, constituting a major risk factor for numerous comorbidities. Despite tremendous efforts, effective pharmacological agents for the treatment of obesity are still limited. Here, we showed that in contrast to lactate receptor GPR81, niacin receptor GPR109A-deficient mice had progressive weight gain and hepatic fat accumulation. Using high-fat diet-induced mouse model of obesity, we demonstrated that niacin treatment apparently protected against obesity without affecting food intake in wild-type mice but not in GPR109A-deficient mice. Further investigation showed that niacin treatment led to a remarkable inhibition of hepatic de novo lipogenesis. Additionally, we demonstrated that niacin treatment triggered brown adipose tissue and/or white adipose tissue thermogenic activity via activation of GPR109A. Moreover, we observed that mice exposed to niacin exhibited a dramatic decrease in intestinal absorption of sterols and fatty acids. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that acting on GPR109A, niacin shows the potential to maintain energy homeostasis through multipathways, representing a potential approach to the treatment of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.-Ye, L., Cao, Z., Lai, X., Wang, W., Guo, Z., Yan, L., Wang, Y., Shi, Y., Zhou, N.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of drug targets, largely owing to their druggability, diversity and physiological efficacy. Many drugs selectively target specific subtypes of GPCRs, but high specificity for individual GPCRs may not be desirable in complex multifactorial disease states in which multiple receptors may be involved. One approach is to target G protein subunits rather than the GPCRs directly. This approach has the potential to achieve broad efficacy by blocking pathways shared by multiple GPCRs. Additionally, because many GPCRs couple to multiple G protein signalling pathways, blocking specific G protein subunits can 'bias' GPCR signals by inhibiting only a subset of these signals. Molecules that target G protein α or βγ-subunits have been developed and show strong efficacy in multiple preclinical disease models and biased inhibition of G protein signalling. In this Review, we discuss the development and characterization of G protein α and βγ-subunit ligands and the preclinical evidence that this exciting new approach has potential for therapeutic efficacy in a number of indications, such as pain, thrombosis, asthma and heart failure.

Br J Pharmacol 2018; 175:2581-2598.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In this study, we examined the possibility that 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) acting as a ligand for the HCA2 receptor (GPR109A) elicits both anti-inflammatory and cell death responses. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Agonistic activity of 4-HNE was determined by observing the inhibition of cAMP generation in CHO-K1-GPR109A-Gi cell line, using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) binding and competition binding assays with [3 H]-niacin. 4-HNE-mediated signalling pathways and cellular responses were investigated in cells expressing GPR109A and those not expressing these receptors. KEY RESULTS Agonistic activity of 4-HNE was stronger than that of niacin or 3-OHBA at inhibiting forskolin-induced cAMP production and SPR binding affinity. In ARPE-19 and CCD-841 cells, activation of GPR109A by high concentrations of the agonists 4-HNE (≥10 μM), niacin (≥1000 μM) and 3-OHBA (≥1000 μM) induced apoptosis accompanied by elevated Ca2+ and superoxide levels. This 4-HNE-induced cell death was blocked by knockdown of GPR109A or NOX4 genes, or treatment with chemical inhibitors of Gβγ (gallein), intracellular Ca2+ (BAPTA-AM), NOX4 (VAS2870) and JNK (SP600125), but not by the cAMP analogue 8-CPT-cAMP. By contrast, low concentrations of 4-HNE, niacin and 3-OHBA down-regulated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8. These 4-HNE-induced inhibitory effects were blocked by a cAMP analogue but not by inhibitors of Gβγ -downstream signalling molecules. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These results revealed that 4-HNE is a strong agonist for GPR109A that induces Gαi -dependent anti-inflammatory and Gβγ -dependent cell death responses. Moreover, the findings indicate that specific intracellular signalling molecules, but not GPR109A, can serve as therapeutic targets to block 4-HNE-induced cell death.
