Casas-Martinez JC, Samali A, McDonagh B. Redox regulation of UPR signalling and mitochondrial ER contact sites. Cell Mol Life Sci 2024; 81:250. [PMID: 38847861 PMCID: PMC11335286 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-024-05286-0] [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: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
Mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) have a synergistic relationship and are key regulatory hubs in maintaining cell homeostasis. Communication between these organelles is mediated by mitochondria ER contact sites (MERCS), allowing the exchange of material and information, modulating calcium homeostasis, redox signalling, lipid transfer and the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics. MERCS are dynamic structures that allow cells to respond to changes in the intracellular environment under normal homeostatic conditions, while their assembly/disassembly are affected by pathophysiological conditions such as ageing and disease. Disruption of protein folding in the ER lumen can activate the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR), promoting the remodelling of ER membranes and MERCS formation. The UPR stress receptor kinases PERK and IRE1, are located at or close to MERCS. UPR signalling can be adaptive or maladaptive, depending on whether the disruption in protein folding or ER stress is transient or sustained. Adaptive UPR signalling via MERCS can increase mitochondrial calcium import, metabolism and dynamics, while maladaptive UPR signalling can result in excessive calcium import and activation of apoptotic pathways. Targeting UPR signalling and the assembly of MERCS is an attractive therapeutic approach for a range of age-related conditions such as neurodegeneration and sarcopenia. This review highlights the emerging evidence related to the role of redox mediated UPR activation in orchestrating inter-organelle communication between the ER and mitochondria, and ultimately the determination of cell function and fate.

Abstract
Skin aging is a complex process influenced by intrinsic factors and environmental stressors, including ultraviolet (UV) radiation and air pollution, among others. In this study, we investigated the effects of UVA and UVB radiation, combined with urban particulate matter (UPM), on human dermal fibroblasts (HDF). We show here that treatment of HDF with a subcytotoxic dose of UVA/UVB results in a series of events leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, increased ROS levels, and DNA damage. These effects are known to trigger either cellular senescence or cell death, depending on the cells' ability to clear damage by activating autophagy. Whereas UPM treatment in isolation did not affect proliferation or survival of HDF, of note, simultaneous UPM treatment of UV-irradiated cells selectively inhibited autophagic flux, thereby changing cell fate of a fraction of the cell population from senescence to apoptotic cell death. Our findings highlight the synergistic effects of UV radiation and UPM on skin aging, emphasizing the need to consider these factors in assessing the impact of environmental stressors on human health and opening opportunities for developing comprehensive approaches to protect and preserve skin integrity in the face of growing environmental challenges.

Abstract
Gastric cancer, a major global health concern, poses challenges in effective treatment, notably due to chemoresistance. This study investigates the role of growth/differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) in mitochondrial dysfunction and its impact on cisplatin sensitivity in gastric cancer cells. In this issue of The FEBS Journal, Wang et al. demonstrate that GDF15 upregulation is associated with cisplatin insensitivity, mediated by the ATF4-CHOP pathway and reactive oxygen species-activated general control nonderepressible 2 [Wang S-F et al. (2023) FEBS J, https://doi.org/10.1111/febs.16992]. Connecting these insights, we explore the broader implications of GDF15 expression in the aging-cancer axis, particularly its involvement in cellular senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). This study suggests that GDF15 released by senescent cells could contribute to tumor progression, indicating potential avenues for therapeutic intervention by targeting senescent cells and their SASP. While the study provides valuable insights into mitigating cisplatin resistance, further research is crucial to fully understand the role of GDF15 in the tumor microenvironment and its potential feedback loops promoting tumorigenesis.

Abstract
The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly increasing. Renal fibrosis is a common pathological feature in various CKD. Previous studies showed tubular cell senescence is highly involved in the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis. However, the inducers of tubular senescence and the underlying mechanisms have not been fully investigated. C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), a G-protein-coupled seven-span transmembrane receptor, increases renal fibrosis and plays an important role in tubular cell injury. Whereas, whether CXCR4 could induce tubular cell senescence and the detailed mechanisms have not studied yet. In this study, we adopted adriamycin nephropathy and 5/6 nephrectomy models, and cultured tubular cell line. Overexpression or knockdown of CXCR4 was obtained by injection of related plasmids. We identified CXCR4 increased in injury tubular cells. CXCR4 was expressed predominantly in renal tubular epithelial cells and co-localized with adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) as well as the senescence-related protein P16INK4A . Furthermore, we found overexpression of CXCR4 greatly induced the activation of β-catenin, while knockdown of CXCR4 inhibited it. We also found that CXCR4 inhibited fatty acid oxidation and triggered lipid deposition in tubular cells. To inhibit β-catenin by ICG-001, an inhibitor of β-catenin, could significantly block CXCR4-suppressed fatty acid oxidation. Taken together, our results indicate that CXCR4 is a key mediator in tubular cell senescence and renal fibrosis. CXCR4 promotes tubular cell senescence and renal fibrosis by inducing β-catenin and inhibiting fatty acid metabolism. Our findings provide a new theory for tubular cell injury in renal fibrosis.

Abstract
The 2'-O-methylation (2'-O-Me) of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) shows plasticity that is potentially associated with cell phenotypes. We used RiboMeth-seq profiling to reveal growth arrest-specific 2'-O-Me patterns in primary human dermal fibroblasts from three different donors. We exposed cells to hydrogen peroxide to induce cellular senescence and to high cell densities to promote quiescence by contact inhibition. We compared both modes of cell cycle arrest to proliferating cells and could indeed distinguish these conditions by their overall 2'-O-Me patterns. Methylation levels at a small fraction of sites showed plasticity and correlated with the expression of specific small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) but not with expression of fibrillarin. Moreover, we observed subtle senescence-associated alterations in ribosome biogenesis. Knockdown of the snoRNA SNORD87, which acts as a guide for modification of a hypermethylated position in non-proliferating cells, was sufficient to boost cell proliferation. Conversely, depletion of SNORD88A, SNORD88B and SNORD88C, which act as guides for modification of a hypomethylated site, caused decreased proliferation without affecting global protein synthesis or apoptosis. Taken together, our findings provide evidence that rRNA modifications can be used to distinguish and potentially influence specific growth phenotypes of primary cells.

Abstract
Mitochondrial and lysosomal functions are intimately linked and are critical for cellular homeostasis, as evidenced by the fact that cellular senescence, aging, and multiple prominent diseases are associated with concomitant dysfunction of both organelles. However, it is not well understood how the two important organelles are regulated. Transcription factor EB (TFEB) is the master regulator of lysosomal function and is also implicated in regulating mitochondrial function; however, the mechanism underlying the maintenance of both organelles remains to be fully elucidated. Here, by comprehensive transcriptome analysis and subsequent chromatin immunoprecipitation-qPCR, we identified hexokinase domain containing 1 (HKDC1), which is known to function in the glycolysis pathway as a direct TFEB target. Moreover, HKDC1 was upregulated in both mitochondrial and lysosomal stress in a TFEB-dependent manner, and its function was critical for the maintenance of both organelles under stress conditions. Mechanistically, the TFEB-HKDC1 axis was essential for PINK1 (PTEN-induced kinase 1)/Parkin-dependent mitophagy via its initial step, PINK1 stabilization. In addition, the functions of HKDC1 and voltage-dependent anion channels, with which HKDC1 interacts, were essential for the clearance of damaged lysosomes and maintaining mitochondria-lysosome contact. Interestingly, HKDC1 regulated mitophagy and lysosomal repair independently of its prospective function in glycolysis. Furthermore, loss function of HKDC1 accelerated DNA damage-induced cellular senescence with the accumulation of hyperfused mitochondria and damaged lysosomes. Our results show that HKDC1, a factor downstream of TFEB, maintains both mitochondrial and lysosomal homeostasis, which is critical to prevent cellular senescence.

Abstract
Aging of human skin is a complex process leading to a decline in homeostasis and regenerative potential of this tissue. Mitochondria are important cell organelles that have a crucial role in several cellular mechanisms such as energy production and free radical maintenance. However, mitochondrial metabolism as well as processes of mitochondrial dynamics, biogenesis, and degradation varies considerably among the different types of cells that populate the skin. Disturbed mitochondrial function is known to promote aging and inflammation of the skin, leading to impairment of physiological skin function and the onset of skin pathologies. In this review, we discuss the essential role of mitochondria in different skin cell types and how impairment of mitochondrial morphology, physiology, and metabolism in each of these cellular compartments of the skin contributes to the process of skin aging.

Abstract
Cellular senescence, a cell state characterized by a generally irreversible cell cycle arrest, is implicated in various physiological processes and a wide range of age-related pathologies. Oxidative stress, a condition caused by an imbalance between the production and the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells and tissues, is a common driver of cellular senescence. ROS encompass free radicals and other molecules formed as byproducts of oxygen metabolism, which exhibit varying chemical reactivity. A prerequisite for the generation of strong oxidizing ROS that can damage macromolecules and impair cellular function is the availability of labile (redox-active) iron, which catalyzes the formation of highly reactive free radicals. Targeting labile iron has been proven an effective strategy to counteract the adverse effects of ROS, but evidence concerning cellular senescence is sparse. In the present review article, we discuss aspects of oxidative stress-induced cellular senescence, with special attention to the potential implication of labile iron.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is an irreversible proliferation arrest in response to cellular damage and stress. Although cellular senescence is a highly stable cell cycle arrest, it can influence many physiological, pathological, and aging processes. Cellular senescence can be triggered by various intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, genotoxic stress, oncogenic activation, irradiation and chemotherapeutic agents. Senescence is associated with several molecular and phenotypic alterations, such as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), cell cycle arrest, DNA damage response (DDR), senescence-associated β-galactosidase, morphogenesis, and chromatin remodeling. Cellular senescence is a regular physiological event involved in tissue homeostasis, embryonic development, tissue remodeling, wound healing, and inhibition of tumor progression. Mitochondria are one of the organelles that undergo significant morphological and metabolic changes associated with senescence. Recent evidence unraveled that inter-organelle communication regulates cellular senescence, where mitochondria form a highly complex and dynamic network throughout the cytoplasm with other organelles, like the endoplasmic reticulum. An imbalance in organelle interactions may result in faulty cellular homeostasis, which contributes to cellular senescence and is associated with organ aging. Since mitochondrial dysfunction is a common characteristic of cellular senescence and age-related diseases, mitochondria-targeted senolytic or redox modulator senomorphic strategies help solve the complex problems with the detrimental consequences of cellular senescence. Understanding the regulation of mitochondrial metabolism would provide knowledge on effective therapeutic interventions for aging and age-related pathologies. This chapter focuses on the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of senescence and targeting senescence as a potential strategy to alleviate age-related pathologies and support healthy aging.

Abstract
The contribution of cellular senescence to a diverse range of biological processes, including normal physiology, ageing, and pathology were long overlooked but have now taken centre stage. In this Editorial, we will briefly outline the review and original work articles contained in The FEBS Journal's Special Issue on Senescence in Ageing and Disease. It is beginning to be appreciated that senescent cells can exert both beneficial and adverse effects following tissue injury. Additionally, while these cells play critical roles for maintaining a healthy physiology, they also promote ageing and certain pathological conditions (including developmental disorders). Progress has been made in re-defining and identifying senescent cells, especially in slow-proliferating or terminally differentiated tissues, such as the brain and cardiovascular system. Novel approaches and techniques for isolating senescent cells will greatly increase our appreciation for senescent properties in tissues. The inter-organ communication between senescent cells and other residents of the tissue microenvironment, via the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), is a focus of several reviews in this Special Issue. The importance of the SASP in promoting tumour development and the evolution of SARS CoV-2 variants is also highlighted. In one of the two original articles included in the issue, the impact of dietary macronutrients and the presence of senescent cells in mice is investigated. Lastly, we continue to deepen our understanding on the use of senolytics and senomorphics to specifically target senescent cells or their secreted components, respectively, which is discussed in several of the reviews included here.

Abstract
The complex physiology of eukaryotic cells requires that a variety of subcellular organelles perform unique tasks, even though they form highly dynamic communication networks. In the case of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, their functional coupling relies on the physical interaction between their membranes, mediated by domains known as mitochondria-ER contacts (MERCs). MERCs act as shuttles for calcium and lipid transfer between organelles, and for the nucleation of other subcellular processes. Of note, mounting evidence shows that they are heterogeneous structures, which display divergent behaviors depending on the cell type. Furthermore, MERCs are plastic structures that remodel according to intra- and extracellular cues, thereby adjusting the function of both organelles to the cellular needs. In consonance with this notion, the malfunction of MERCs reportedly contributes to the development of several age-related disorders. Here, we integrate current literature to describe how MERCs change, starting from undifferentiated cells, and their transit through specialization, malignant transformation (i.e., dedifferentiation), and aging/senescence. Along this journey, we will review the function of MERCs and their relevance for pivotal cell types, such as stem and cancer cells, cardiac, skeletal, and smooth myocytes, neurons, leukocytes, and hepatocytes, which intervene in the progression of chronic diseases related to age.

Abstract
Aging is a natural but relentless process of physiological decline, leading to physical frailty, reduced ability to respond to physical stresses (resilience) and, ultimately, organismal death. Cellular senescence, a self-defensive mechanism activated in response to intrinsic stimuli and/or exogenous stress, is one of the central hallmarks of aging. Senescent cells cease to proliferate, while remaining metabolically active and secreting numerous extracellular factors, a feature known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype. Senescence is physiologically important for embryonic development, tissue repair, and wound healing, and prevents carcinogenesis. However, chronic accumulation of persisting senescent cells contributes to a host of pathologies including age-related morbidities. By paracrine and endocrine mechanisms, senescent cells can induce inflammation locally and systemically, thereby causing tissue dysfunction, and organ degeneration. Agents including those targeting damaging components of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype or inducing apoptosis of senescent cells exhibit remarkable benefits in both preclinical models and early clinical trials for geriatric conditions. Here we summarize features of senescent cells and outline strategies holding the potential to be developed as clinical interventions. In the long run, there is an increasing demand for safe, effective, and clinically translatable senotherapeutics to address healthcare needs in current settings of global aging.

Abstract
The identification of compounds and natural ingredients that can counteract tissue stress and dysfunction induced by aging in skin cells is warranted. Here, we investigated the activity of the secretion from the snail Cryptomphalus aspersa (SCA®), an active compound with well-established beneficial effects on skin integrity and aging. To determinate its senescence-regulation mechanisms, we used a model where damage was induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The results showed that SCA® positively modulated factors involved in cell senescence such as β-galactosidase and cell morphology, secretory efficiency markers (SIRT1/6 and carboxymethyl-lysine), and metabolic and redox homeostasis (mTOR and ROS). This study demonstrated a novel compound that is activity-modulating, reduces cell senescence, and increases longevity to maintain skin homeostasis and functionality.

CXC Chemokine Receptor 2 Accelerates Tubular Cell Senescence and Renal Fibrosis via β-Catenin-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction. Front Cell Dev Biol 2022; 10:862675.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis is a common feature of various chronic kidney diseases (CKD). However, its underlying mechanism has not been totally clarified. C-X-C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family plays a role in renal fibrosis, however, detailed mechanisms have not been elucidated. Here, we report that CXCR2 has a potential role in tubular cell senescence and renal fibrosis, and is associated with β-catenin-activated mitochondrial dysfunction. CXCR2 is one of most increased members among CXCR family in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mice. CXCR2 was expressed primarily in tubules and co-localized with p16INK4A, a cellular senescence marker, and β-catenin. Administration of SB225002, a selective CXCR2 antagonist, significantly inhibited the activation of β-catenin signaling, restored mitochondrial function, protected against tubular cell senescence and renal fibrosis in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mice. In unilateral ischemia-reperfusion injury (UIRI) mice, treatment with interlukin-8 (IL-8), the ligand of CXCR2, further aggravated β-catenin activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, tubular cell senescence and renal fibrosis, whereas knockdown of p16INK4A inhibited IL-8-induced these effects. In vitro, SB225002 inhibited mitochondrial dysfunction and tubular cell senescence. Furthermore, ICG-001, a β-catenin signaling blocker, significantly retarded CXCR2-induced cellular senescence and fibrotic changes. These results suggest that CXCR2 promotes tubular cell senescence and renal fibrosis through inducing β-catenin-activated mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Background To prove the internal connection, we deciphered the effect of cinnamaldehyde on kidney senescence through establishing animal and cell models. Methods In vivo, a rat senescence model was constructed using D-galactose (D-gal), and the modeled rats were further treated with cinnamaldehyde. In vitro, rat renal tubular epithelial cells (NRK-52E) were transfected with miR-155 mimic or inhibitor and then treated with cinnamaldehyde, D-gal or PI3K inhibitor (LY294002). The serum levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr) of the rats were measured by an automatic biochemical analyzer. Pathological changes of kidney were determined by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The senescence and viability of NRK-52E cells were assessed by SA-β-gal staining and CCK-8 assay, respectively. The levels of miR-155, p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, LC3B (LC3-II and LC3-I) and Beclin1 were detected by qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, or western blot. Results D-gal elevated the levels of BUN, Scr and miR-155 in the kidney, induced the renal pathological damage, inhibited the cell viability, increased the numbers of SA-β-gal-, LC3B- and Beclin1-positive cells and upregulated the levels of LC3-II/LC3-I and Beclin1 both in the kidney and cells. Cinnamaldehyde reversed D-gal-induced effects on the kidney and cells, and moreover, the cinnamaldehyde-induced anti-D-gal effects on cells could be suppressed by miR-155 mimic but promoted by miR-155 inhibitor. LY294002 potentiated D-gal-induced effects, and reversed cinnamaldehyde- and miR-155 inhibitor-caused impacts on the PI3K/Akt pathway and LC3-II/LC3-I level in D-gal-induced cells. Conclusion Cinnamaldehyde attenuates kidney senescence and injury through PI3K/Akt pathway-mediated autophagy via downregulating miR-155.

Abstract
Cellular senescence plays an important role in different biological and pathological conditions. Senescent cells communicate with their microenvironment through a plethora of soluble factors, metalloproteases and extracellular vesicles (EV). Although much is known about the role that soluble factors play in senescence, the downstream signalling pathways activated by EV in senescence is unknown. To address this, we performed a small molecule inhibitor screen and have identified the IκB kinases IKKε, IKKα and IKKβ as essential for senescence mediated by EV (evSASP). By using pharmacological inhibitors of IKKε, IKKα and IKKβ, in addition to CRISPR/Cas9 targeting their respective genes, we find these pathways are important in mediating senescence. In addition, we find that senescence activation is dependent on canonical NF‐κB transcription factors where siRNA targeting p65 prevent senescence. Importantly, these IKK pathways are also relevant to ageing as knockout of IKKA, IKKB and IKKE avoid the activation of senescence. Altogether, these findings open a new potential line of investigation in the field of senescence by targeting the negative effects of the evSASP independent of particular EV contents.
