Abstract
BACKGROUND Contractures following neonatal brachial plexus injury (NBPI) are associated with growth deficits in denervated muscles. This impairment is mediated by an increase in muscle protein degradation, as contractures can be prevented in an NBPI mouse model with bortezomib (BTZ), a proteasome inhibitor (PI). However, BTZ treatment causes substantial toxicity (0% to 80% mortality). The current study tested the hypothesis that newer-generation PIs can prevent contractures with less severe toxicity than BTZ. METHODS Unilateral brachial plexus injuries were surgically created in postnatal (5-day-old) mice. Following NBPI, mice were treated with either saline solution or various doses of 1 of 3 different PIs: ixazomib (IXZ), carfilzomib (CFZ), or marizomib (MRZ). Four weeks post-NBPI, mice were assessed for bilateral passive range of motion at the shoulder and elbow joints, with blinding to the treatment group, through an established digital photography technique to determine contracture severity. Drug toxicity was assessed with survival curves. RESULTS All PIs prevented contractures at both the elbow and shoulder (p < 0.05 versus saline solution controls), with the exception of IXZ, which did not prevent shoulder contractures. However, their efficacies and toxicity profiles differed. At lower doses, CFZ was limited by toxicity (30% to 40% mortality), whereas MRZ was limited by efficacy. At higher doses, CFZ was limited by loss of efficacy, MRZ was limited by toxicity (50% to 60% mortality), and IXZ was limited by toxicity (80% to 100% mortality) and loss of efficacy. Comparisons of the data on these drugs as well as data on BTZ generated in prior studies revealed BTZ to be optimal for preventing contractures, although it, too, was limited by toxicity. CONCLUSIONS All of the tested second-generation PIs were able to reduce NBPI-induced contractures, offering further proof of concept for a regulatory role of the proteasome in contracture formation. However, the narrow dose ranges of efficacy for all PIs highlight the necessity of precise proteasome regulation for preventing contractures. Finally, the substantial toxicity stemming from proteasome inhibition underscores the importance of identifying muscle-targeted strategies to suppress protein degradation and prevent contractures safely. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Although PIs offer unique opportunities to establish critical mechanistic insights into contracture pathophysiology, their clinical use is contraindicated in patients with NPBI at this time.

Abstract
Human peripheral neuropathies are poorly understood, and the availability of experimental models limits further research. The PeriTox test uses immature dorsal root ganglia (DRG)-like neurons, derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), to assess cell death and neurite damage. Here, we explored the suitability of matured peripheral neuron cultures for the detection of sub-cytotoxic endpoints, such as altered responses of pain-related P2X receptors. A two-step differentiation protocol, involving the transient expression of ectopic neurogenin-1 (NGN1) allowed for the generation of homogeneous cultures of sensory neurons. After >38 days of differentiation, they showed a robust response (Ca2+-signaling) to the P2X3 ligand α,β-methylene ATP. The clinical proteasome inhibitor bortezomib abolished the P2X3 signal at ≥5 nM, while 50−200 nM was required in the PeriTox test to identify neurite damage and cell death. A 24 h treatment with low nM concentrations of bortezomib led to moderate increases in resting cell intracellular Ca2+ concentration but signaling through transient receptor potential V1 (TRPV1) receptors or depolarization-triggered Ca2+ influx remained unaffected. We interpreted the specific attenuation of purinergic signaling as a functional cell stress response. A reorganization of tubulin to form dense structures around the cell somata confirmed a mild, non-cytotoxic stress triggered by low concentrations of bortezomib. The proteasome inhibitors carfilzomib, delanzomib, epoxomicin, and MG-132 showed similar stress responses. Thus, the model presented here may be used for the profiling of new proteasome inhibitors in regard to their side effect (neuropathy) potential, or for pharmacological studies on the attenuation of their neurotoxicity. P2X3 signaling proved useful as endpoint to assess potential neurotoxicants in peripheral neurons.

Constitutive Activation of p62/Sequestosome-1-Mediated Proteaphagy Regulates Proteolysis and Impairs Cell Death in Bortezomib-Resistant Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14040923.

Abstract
Simple Summary To decipher the molecular mechanism underlying the resistance of a significant fraction of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients to the first-in-class proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ), we have characterized the ubiquitin-related proteome (i.e., ubiquitome) of a set of MCL cell lines with different degrees of sensitivity to the drug by coupling a tandem ubiquitin-binding entity (TUBE) approach to mass spectrometry, followed by phenotypic and functional validations in both in vitro and in vivo models of MCL. We identified an enrichment of autophagy–lysosome system (ALS) components in BTZ-resistant cells, which was associated with constitutive intracellular inactivation of proteasome subunits by a process called proteaphagy. Blockade of this phenomenon by the pharmacological or genetic inactivation of the autophagy receptor p62/SQSTM1 reactivated normal proteasomal activity and restored the BTZ antitumor effect in in vitro and in vivo models of BTZ resistance. Abstract Protein ubiquitylation coordinates crucial cellular events in physiological and pathological conditions. A comparative analysis of the ubiquitin proteome from bortezomib (BTZ)-sensitive and BTZ-resistant mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) revealed an enrichment of the autophagy–lysosome system (ALS) in BTZ-resistant cells. Pharmacological inhibition of autophagy at the level of lysosome-fusion revealed a constitutive activation of proteaphagy and accumulation of proteasome subunits within autophagosomes in different MCL cell lines with acquired or natural resistance to BTZ. Inhibition of the autophagy receptor p62/SQSTM1 upon verteporfin (VTP) treatment disrupted proteaphagosome assembly, reduced co-localization of proteasome subunits with autophagy markers and negatively impacted proteasome activity. Finally, the silencing or pharmacological inhibition of p62 restored the apoptosis threshold at physiological levels in BTZ-resistant cells both in vitro and in vivo. In total, these results demonstrate for the first time a proteolytic switch from the ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) to ALS in B-cell lymphoma refractory to proteasome inhibition, pointing out a crucial role for proteaphagy in this phenomenon and paving the way for the design of alternative therapeutic venues in treatment-resistant tumors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bortezomib is proteasome inhibitor used in multiple myeloma treatment. The reactivation of herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) during bortezomib-based therapy is a well-known adverse event. Antiviral prophylaxis is mandatory. Nevertheless, reports of herpesviral encephalitis are scarce. CASE REPORT A 57-year-old multiple myeloma patient who during CyBorD protocol (Bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone), after a transient suspension of antiviral prophylaxis presented progressive headaches unresponsive to conventional analgesics, asthenia, fever, episodic visual hallucinations, and vesicular lesions in the right supraorbital and frontal region. Herpetic encephalitis was diagnosed after detecting herpes zoster in cerebrospinal fluid. MANAGEMENT & OUTCOME The patient was treated with acyclovir 500mg every 6 hours for 21 days, and subsequent valacyclovir prophylaxis achieving an excellent clinical evolution. Anti-myeloma treatment was changed to lenalidomide and dexamethasone achieving a durable complete response. Herpesviral encephalitis is a rare but severe complication associated with the use of Bortezomib, especially when patients did not receive acyclovir prophylaxis. However, a rapid detection based on the clinical suspicion, and the prompt start of treatment, may lead to overcome this adverse event.

Additive Benefits of Radium-223 Dichloride and Bortezomib Combination in a Systemic Multiple Myeloma Mouse Model. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22115570.

Abstract
Osteolytic bone disease is a hallmark of multiple myeloma (MM) mediated by MM cell proliferation, increased osteoclast activity, and suppressed osteoblast function. The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib targets MM cells and improves bone health in MM patients. Radium-223 dichloride (radium-223), the first targeted alpha therapy approved, specifically targets bone metastases, where it disrupts the activity of both tumor cells and tumor-supporting bone cells in mouse models of breast and prostate cancer bone metastasis. We hypothesized that radium-223 and bortezomib combination treatment would have additive effects on MM. In vitro experiments revealed that the combination treatment inhibited MM cell proliferation and demonstrated additive efficacy. In the systemic, syngeneic 5TGM1 mouse MM model, both bortezomib and radium-223 decreased the osteolytic lesion area, and their combination was more effective than either monotherapy alone. Bortezomib decreased the number of osteoclasts at the tumor-bone interface, and the combination therapy resulted in almost complete eradication of osteoclasts. Furthermore, the combination therapy improved the incorporation of radium-223 into MM-bearing bone. Importantly, the combination therapy decreased tumor burden and restored body weights in MM mice. These results suggest that the combination of radium-223 with bortezomib could constitute a novel, effective therapy for MM and, in particular, myeloma bone disease.

Abstract
The proteasome inhibitors, carfilzomib and bortezomib, are widely used to treat myeloma but head-to-head comparisons have produced conflicting results. We compared the activity of these proteasome inhibitors in combination with cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (KCd vs. VCd) in second-line treatment using fixed duration therapy and evaluated the efficacy of carfilzomib maintenance. MUKfive was a phase II controlled, parallel group trial that randomized patients (2:1) to KCd (n=201) or VCd (n=99); responding patients on carfilzomib were randomized to maintenance carfilzomib (n=69) or no further treatment (n=72). Primary endpoints were: (i) very good partial response (non-inferiority, odds ratio [OR] 0.8) at 24 weeks, and (ii) progression-free survival. More participants achieved a very good partial response or better with carfilzomib than with bortezomib (40.2% vs. 31.9%, OR=1.48, 90% confidence interval [CI]: 0.95, 2.31; non-inferior), with a trend for particular benefit in patients with adverse-risk disease. KCd was associated with higher overall response (partial response or better, 84.0% vs. 68.1%, OR=2.72, 90% CI: 1.62, 4.55, P=0.001). Neuropathy (grade ≥3 or ≥2 with pain) was more common with bortezomib (19.8% vs. 1.5%, P<0.0001), while grade ≥3 cardiac events and hypertension were only reported in the KCd arm (3.6% each). The median progression-free survival in the KCd arm was 11.7 months vs. 10.2 months in the VCd arm (hazard ratio [HR]=0.95, 80% CI: 0.77, 1.18). Carfilzomib maintenance was associated with longer progression-free survival, median 11.9 months vs. 5.6 months for no maintenance (HR 0.59, 80% CI: 0.46-0.77, P=0.0086). When used as fixed duration therapy in first relapase, KCd is at least as effective as VCd, and carfilzomib is an effective maintenance agent. This trial was registered with International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number (ISRCTN) identifier: ISRCTN17354232.

Abstract
Simple Summary Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells causing bone fractures, anemia, renal insufficiency and hypercalcemia. Despite the introduction of new drugs in the past years, it still remains incurable and most patients die from the disease. Multiple myeloma cells are characterized by the production of high amounts of monoclonal antibodies. Therefore, maintaining protein homeostasis from synthesis through folding to degradation is crucial for multiple myeloma cells. While protein ubiquitination and organized degradation are typically considered critical for cellular health, an emerging strategy is to block these processes to induce cell death in disease-state cells characterized by protein over-production. Recent development of compounds that alter the ubiquitin proteasome pathway and drugs that affect ubiquitin-like modifications appear promising in both preclinically and in clinical trials. This review summarizes the impact of protein modifications such as ubiquitination and ubiquitin-like modifications in the biology of multiple myeloma and how it can be exploited to develop new effective therapies for multiple myeloma. Abstract Multiple myeloma is a genetically heterogeneous plasma cell malignancy characterized by organ damage and a massive production of (in-)complete monoclonal antibodies. Coping with protein homeostasis and post-translational regulation is therefore essential for multiple myeloma cells to survive. Furthermore, post-translational modifications such as ubiquitination and SUMOylation play key roles in essential pathways in multiple myeloma, including NFκB signaling, epigenetic regulation, as well as DNA damage repair. Drugs modulating the ubiquitin–proteasome system, such as proteasome inhibitors and thalidomide analogs, are approved and highly effective drugs in multiple myeloma. In this review, we focus on ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifications in the biology and current developments of new treatments for multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Background The pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM) is not completely known. Uncovering the potential mechanism of MM initiation and progression is essential for identifying novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Herein, we explored the function and the working mechanism of circular RNA circ_0007841 in MM progression. Methods Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was employed to detect the expression of circ_0007841, microRNA-338-3p (miR-338-3p) and bromodomain containing 4 (BRD4). Cell proliferation ability was analyzed through cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay, colony formation assay and flow cytometry. Transwell assays were conducted to measure the migration and invasion abilities of MM cells. Cell apoptosis was also assessed by flow cytometry. The interaction between miR-338-3p and circ_0007841 or BRD4 was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA-pull down assay. Results Circ_0007841 was highly expressed in bone marrow (BM)-derived plasma cells of MM patients and MM cell lines than that in healthy volunteers and normal plasma cell line nPCs. Circ_0007841 promoted the proliferation, cell cycle and metastasis and impeded the apoptosis of MM cells. miR-338-3p was a direct target of circ_0007841 in MM cells and circ_0007841 accelerated the progression of MM through targeting miR-338-3p. BRD4 could directly bind to miR-338-3p in MM cells and miR-338-3p exerted an anti-tumor role through targeting BRD4. Circ_0007841 promoted the activation of PI3K/AKT signaling via miR-338-3p/BRD4 axis. Exosomes generated from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) elevated the malignant behaviors of MM cells via circ_0007841. Conclusion Circ_0007841 acted as an oncogene to promote the proliferation, cell cycle and motility and restrain the apoptosis of MM cells through sequestering miR-338-3p to up-regulate the expression of BRD4.

Abstract
Since its introduction in the clinics in early 2000s, the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ) significantly improved the prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), two of the most challenging B cell malignancies in western countries. However, relapses following BTZ therapy are frequent, while primary resistance to this agent remains a major limitation for further development of its therapeutic potential. In the present chapter, we recapitulate the molecular mechanisms associated with intrinsic and acquired resistance to BTZ learning from MM and MCL experience, including mutations of crucial genes and activation of prosurvival signalling pathways inherent to malignant B cells. We also outline the preclinical and clinical evaluations of some potential druggable targets associated to BTZ resistance, considering the most meaningful findings of the past 10 years. Although our understanding of BTZ resistance is far from being completed, recent discoveries are contributing to develop new approaches to treat relapsed MM and MCL patients.

Abstract
Muscle contractures are a prominent and disabling feature of many neuromuscular disorders, including the 2 most common forms of childhood neurologic dysfunction: neonatal brachial plexus injury (NBPI) and cerebral palsy. There are currently no treatment strategies to directly alter the contracture pathology, as the pathogenesis of these contractures is unknown. We previously showed in a mouse model of NBPI that contractures result from impaired longitudinal muscle growth. Current presumed explanations for growth impairment in contractures focus on the dysregulation of muscle stem cells, which differentiate and fuse to existing myofibers during growth, as this process has classically been thought to control muscle growth during the neonatal period. Here, we demonstrate in a mouse model of NBPI that denervation does not prevent myonuclear accretion and that reduction in myonuclear number has no effect on functional muscle length or contracture development, providing definitive evidence that altered myonuclear accretion is not a driver of neuromuscular contractures. In contrast, we observed elevated levels of protein degradation in NBPI muscle, and we demonstrate that contractures can be pharmacologically prevented with the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. These studies provide what we believe is the first strategy to prevent neuromuscular contractures by correcting the underlying deficit in longitudinal muscle growth.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma is the second largest malignant tumor of the blood system. Proteasome inhibitors (PIs) currently are effective drugs for some myeloma patients, but their prognosis varies. We extracted the transcriptome expression data and clinical information of myeloma patients from MMRF CoMMpass database, and used the Random Survival Forest Variable Hunting (RSF-VH) algorithm to select 6 highly prognosis-related genes and to develop a 6-genes scoring model, by which the risk score predicted were significantly associated with the progress-free survival (PFS, P<0.001). The median PFS of the high-risk group is 21 months, while it is 29 months in the low-risk group. The scoring model was further validated in the testing cohort. Furthermore, Analysis revealed that the risk score performed better in predicting the multiple myeloma patients' prognosis than the existed staging system, including R-ISS. The risk score is independent with the most existed clinical risk indicators, and the prognostic effectiveness of 6-genes scoring model is homogenous in patients with different clinical observations. Further bioinformatic analysis revealed that the risk score is not only significantly associated with multiple myeloma-related pathways, including immune response, but also with the infiltration of many kinds of immune cells that associated with clinical malignancy. Collectively, the model we developed using one lincRNA and five mRNAs is a robust and effective indicator for myeloma patients' prognosis undergoing proteasome inhibitors therapy.

Abstract
The MHC class I antigen presentation system enables T cell immunosurveillance of cancers and viruses. A substantial fraction of the immunopeptidome derives from rapidly degraded nascent polypeptides (DRiPs). By knocking down each of the 80 ribosomal proteins, we identified proteins that modulate peptide generation without altering source protein expression. We show that 60S ribosomal proteins L6 (RPL6) and RPL28, which are adjacent on the ribosome, play opposite roles in generating an influenza A virus-encoded peptide. Depleting RPL6 decreases ubiquitin-dependent peptide presentation, whereas depleting RPL28 increases ubiquitin-dependent and -independent peptide presentation. 40S ribosomal protein S28 (RPS28) knockdown increases total peptide supply in uninfected cells by increasing DRiP synthesis from non-canonical translation of "untranslated" regions and non-AUG start codons and sensitizes tumor cells for T cell targeting. Our findings raise the possibility of modulating immunosurveillance by pharmaceutical targeting ribosomes.
