[PMID: 39190996 PMCID: PMC11396071 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.104161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Rising temperatures and intensified agricultural practices have heightened heat stress (HS)-related challenges in poultry farming, notably heat-induced sudden death in chickens. Wenchang chickens, recognized for their heat resistance, have emerged as the potential candidates for improving the economic efficiency of poultry farming. The adrenal gland plays a crucial role in preventing HS-induced heart failure sudden death by secreting hormones. However, little is known about the damage to and resilience of Wenchang chicken adrenal glands during HS. In this study, 34 healthy Wenchang chickens with similar weights were selected for formal experimentation, with 10 as the control group (Con). Following a single exposure to acute HS of 42 ± 1°C and 65% relative humidity for 5 h, 15 deceased individuals formed the HS death (HSD) group, and 9 survived comprised the HS survival (HSS) group. ELISA revealed significant higher (P < 0.05) levels of COR and NE in the HSS and the lowest levels of CORT and EPI in the HSD. Histopathological analysis indicated major degeneration in HSS cortical and chromaffin cells and extensive cell necrosis (nuclear pyknosis) in HSD. Proteomic analysis identified 572 DEPs in HSD vs. Con and 191 DEPs in HSS vs. Con. Bioinformatics highlighted ER protein processing, especially ERAD as a key pathway for heat stress resistance (HSR) in the adrenal gland, with HSPH1, DNAJA1, HSP90AA1, HSPA8 and HERPUD1 identified as regulating key molecules. Western blotting validated significantly higher (P < 0.01) protein levels in both HSS and HSD compared to the Con. Immunohistochemical staining showed increased cytoplasmic HSPH1-positive signal intensity under HS and enhanced HSP90AA1 nuclear signals, strongest in HSS. In summary, HS induces pathological damage in Wenchang chicken adrenal glands, affecting hormone secretion, and various heat shock proteins play crucial roles in cellular resistance. These results elucidate the biological basis of HSR in Wenchang chickens from the perspective of the adrenal gland and provide necessary research foundations for enhancing economic performance of various broilers in high-heat environments and screening drugs for HS treatment.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain. A hallmark of both familial and sporadic PD is the presence of Lewy body inclusions composed mainly of aggregated α-synuclein (α-syn), a presynaptic protein encoded by the SNCA gene. The mechanisms driving the relationship between α-syn accumulation and neurodegeneration are not completely understood, although recent evidence indicates that multiple branches of the proteostasis pathway are simultaneously perturbed when α-syn aberrantly accumulates within neurons. Studies from patient-derived midbrain cultures that develop α-syn pathology through the endogenous expression of PD-causing mutations show that proteostasis disruption occurs at the level of synthesis/folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), downstream ER-Golgi trafficking, and autophagic-lysosomal clearance. Here, we review the fundamentals of protein transport, highlighting the specific steps where α-syn accumulation may intervene and the downstream effects on proteostasis. Current therapeutic efforts are focused on targeting single pathways or proteins, but the multifaceted pathogenic role of α-syn throughout the proteostasis pathway suggests that manipulating several targets simultaneously will provide more effective disease-modifying therapies for PD and other synucleinopathies.

Promotion of endoplasmic reticulum retrotranslocation by overexpression of E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase synoviolin 1 reduces endoplasmic reticulum stress and preserves cone photoreceptors in cyclic nucleotide-gated channel deficiency. FASEB J 2024; 38:e70021.

Abstract
Cone photoreceptor cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels play an essential role in phototransduction and cellular Ca2+ homeostasis. Mutations in genes encoding the channel subunits CNGA3 and CNGB3 are associated with achromatopsia, progressive cone dystrophy, and early-onset macular degeneration. Cone loss in patients with achromatopsia and cone dystrophy associated with CNG channel mutations has been documented by optical coherence tomography and in mouse models of CNG channel deficiency. Cone death in CNG channel-deficient retinas involves endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-associated apoptosis, dysregulation of cellular/ER Ca2+ homeostasis, impaired protein folding/processing, and impaired ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase synoviolin 1 (SYVN1) is the primary component of the SYVN1/SEL1L ER retrotranslocon responsible for ERAD. Previous studies have shown that manipulations that protect cones and reduce ER stress/cone death in CNG channel deficiency, such as increasing ER Ca2+ preservation or treatment with an ER chaperone, increase the expression of SYVN1 and other components of the ER retrotranslocon. The present work investigated the effects of SYVN1 overexpression. Intraocular injection of AAV5-IRBP/GNAT2-Syvn1 resulted in overexpression of SYVN1 in cones of CNG channel-deficient mice. Following treatment, cone density in Cnga3-/- mice was significantly increased, compared with untreated controls, outer segment localization of cone opsin was improved, and ER stress/apoptotic cell death was reduced. Overexpression of SYVN1 also led to increased expression levels of the retrotranslocon components, degradation in ER protein 1 (DERL1), ERAD E3 ligase adaptor subunit (SEL1L), and homocysteine inducible ER protein with ubiquitin-like domain 1 (HERPUD1). Moreover, overexpression of SYVN1 likely enhanced protein ubiquitination/proteasome degradation in CNG channel-deficient retinas. This study demonstrates the role of SYVN1/ERAD in cone preservation in CNG channel deficiency and supports the strategy of promoting ERAD for cone protection.

However, its impact on neuronal endoplasmic reticulum stress following repetitive mild traumatic brain injury remains unclear. In this study, we first used an HT22 scratch injury model to mimic traumatic brain injury, then co-cultured the HT22 cells with BV2 microglia expressing high levels of miR-124-3p. We found that exosomes containing high levels of miR-124-3p attenuated apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Furthermore, luciferase reporter assay analysis confirmed that miR-124-3p bound specifically to the endoplasmic reticulum stress-related protein IRE1α, while an IRE1α functional salvage experiment confirmed that miR-124-3p targeted IRE1α and reduced its expression, thereby inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress in injured neurons. Finally, we delivered microglia-derived exosomes containing miR-124-3p intranasally to a mouse model of repetitive mild traumatic brain injury and found that endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis levels in hippocampal neurons were significantly reduced. These findings suggest that, after repetitive mild traumatic brain injury, miR-124-3 can be transferred from microglia-derived exosomes to injured neurons, where it exerts a neuroprotective effect by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress. Therefore, microglia-derived exosomes containing miR-124-3p may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for repetitive mild traumatic brain injury.

Abstract
The ubiquitination is crucial for controlling cellular homeostasis and protein modification, in which ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) acts as the central player in the ubiquitination system. Ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, which have special domains that catalyse substrates, have sequence discrepancies and modulate various pathophysiological processes in different cells of multiple organisms. E2s take part in the mitosis of primordial germ cells, meiosis of spermatocytes and the formation of mature haploid spermatids to maintain normal male fertility. In this review, we summarize the various types of E2s and their functions during distinct stages of spermatogenesis.

Abstract
The mutual interactions of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident proteins in the ER maintain its functions, prompting the protein folding, modification, and transportation. Here, a new method, named YST-PPI (YESS-based Split fast TEV protease system for Protein-Protein Interaction) was developed, targeting the characterization of protein interactions in ER. YST-PPI method integrated the YESS system, split-TEV technology, and endoplasmic reticulum retention signal peptide (ERS) to provide an effective strategy for studying ER in situ PPIs in a fast and quantitative manner. The interactions among 15 ER-resident proteins, most being identified molecular chaperones, of S. cerevisiae were explored using the YST-PPI system, and their interaction network map was constructed, in which more than 74 interacting resident protein pairs were identified. Our studies also showed that Lhs1p plays a critical role in regulating the interactions of most of the ER-resident proteins, except the Sil1p, indicating its potential role in controlling the ER molecular chaperones. Moreover, the mutual interaction revealed by our studies further confirmed that the ER-resident proteins perform their functions in a cooperative way and a multimer complex might be formed during the process.

Melatonin regulates endoplasmic reticulum stress in diverse pathophysiological contexts: A comprehensive mechanistic review. J Cell Physiol 2024:e31383. [PMID: 39039752 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.31383] [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: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is crucial for protein quality control, and disruptions in its function can lead to various diseases. ER stress triggers an adaptive response called the unfolded protein response (UPR), which can either restore cellular homeostasis or induce cell death. Melatonin, a safe and multifunctional compound, shows promise in controlling ER stress and could be a valuable therapeutic agent for managing the UPR. By regulating ER and mitochondrial functions, melatonin helps maintain cellular homeostasis via reduction of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Melatonin can directly or indirectly interfere with ER-associated sensors and downstream targets of the UPR, impacting cell death, autophagy, inflammation, molecular repair, among others. Crucially, this review explores the mechanistic role of melatonin on ER stress in various diseases including liver damage, neurodegeneration, reproductive disorders, pulmonary disease, cardiomyopathy, insulin resistance, renal dysfunction, and cancer. Interestingly, while it alleviates the burden of ER stress in most pathological contexts, it can paradoxically stimulate ER stress in cancer cells, highlighting its intricate involvement in cellular homeostasis. With numerous successful studies using in vivo and in vitro models, the continuation of clinical trials is imperative to fully explore melatonin's therapeutic potential in these conditions.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which ensues from an overwhelming protein folding capacity, activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) in an effort to restore cellular homeostasis. As ER stress is associated with numerous diseases, it is highly important to delineate the molecular mechanisms governing the ER stress to gain insight into the disease pathology. Long non-coding RNAs, transcripts with a length of over 200 nucleotides that do not code for proteins, interact with proteins and nucleic acids, fine-tuning the UPR to restore ER homeostasis via various modes of actions. Dysregulation of specific lncRNAs is implicated in the progression of ER stress-related diseases, presenting these molecules as promising therapeutic targets. The comprehensive analysis underscores the importance of understanding the nuanced interplay between lncRNAs and ER stress for insights into disease mechanisms. Overall, this review consolidates current knowledge, identifies research gaps and offers a roadmap for future investigations into the multifaceted roles of lncRNAs in ER stress and associated diseases to shed light on their pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of related diseases.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a potentially lethal condition that is induced by the abnormal accumulation of unfolded or misfolded secretory proteins in the ER. In eukaryotes, ER stress is managed by the unfolded protein response (UPR) through a tightly regulated, yet highly dynamic, reprogramming of gene transcription. Although the core principles of the UPR are similar across eukaryotes, unique features of the plant UPR reflect the adaptability of plants to their ever-changing environments and the need to balance the demands of growth and development with the response to environmental stressors. The past decades have seen notable progress in understanding the mechanisms underlying ER stress sensing and signalling transduction pathways, implicating the UPR in the effects of physiological and induced ER stress on plant growth and crop yield. Facilitated by sequencing technologies and advances in genetic and genomic resources, recent efforts have driven the discovery of transcriptional regulators and elucidated the mechanisms that mediate the dynamic and precise gene regulation in response to ER stress at the systems level.

Abstract
Marine sponges are predicted to be winners in the future ocean due to their exemplary adaptive capacity. However, while many sponge groups exhibit tolerance to a wide range of environmental insults, calcifying sponges may be more susceptible to thermo-acidic stress. To describe the gene regulatory networks that govern the stress response of the calcareous sponge, Leucetta chagosensis (class Calcarea, order Clathrinida), individuals were subjected to warming and acidification conditions based on the climate models for 2100. Transcriptome analysis and gene co-expression network reconstruction revealed that the unfolded protein response (UPR) was activated under thermo-acidic stress. Among the upregulated genes were two lineage-specific homologs of X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1), a transcription factor that activates the UPR. Alternative dimerization between these XBP1 gene products suggests a clathrinid-specific mechanism to reversibly sequester the transcription factor into an inactive form, enabling the rapid regulation of pathways linked to the UPR in clathrinid calcareous sponges. Our findings support the idea that transcription factor duplication events may refine evolutionarily conserved molecular pathways and contribute to ecological success.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is one of the most important sub-cellular organelles which controls myriads of biological functions including protein biosynthesis with proper functional folded form, protein misfolding, protein transport into Golgi body for secretion, Ca2+ homeostasis and so on. Subsequently, dysregulation in ER function leads to ER stress followed by disease pathology like cancer. Hence, targeting ER in the cancer cells emerged as one of the futuristic strategies for cancer treatment. However, the major challenge is to selectively and specifically target ER in the sub-cellular milieu in the cancer tissues, due to the lack of ER targeting chemical moieties to recognize the ER markers. To address this, in the last decade, numerous biomaterials were explored to selectively impair and image ER in cancer cells to induce ER stress. This review outlines those biomaterials which consists of carbon and silicon materials, lipid nanoparticles (liposomes and micelles), supramolecular self-assembled nanostructures, cell membrane-coated nanoparticles and metallic nanoparticles. Moreover, we also discuss the challenges and possible solutions of this promising field to usher the readers towards next-generation ER targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Hypertension is a principal risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, with its severity exacerbated by high sodium intake, particularly in individuals with salt-sensitive blood pressure. However, the mechanisms underlying hypertension and salt sensitivity are only partly understood. Herein, we review potential interactions in hypertension pathophysiology involving the immune system, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, the unfolded protein response (UPR), and proteostasis pathways; identify knowledge gaps; and discuss future directions. RECENT FINDINGS Recent advancements by our research group and others reveal interactions within and between adaptive and innate immune responses in hypertension pathophysiology. The salt-immune-hypertension axis is further supported by the discovery of the role of dendritic cells in hypertension, marked by isolevuglandin (IsoLG) formation. Alongside these broadened understandings of immune-mediated salt sensitivity, the contributions of T cells to hypertension have been recently challenged by groups whose findings did not support increased resistance of Rag-1-deficient mice to Ang II infusion. Hypertension has also been linked to ER stress and the UPR. Notably, a holistic approach is needed because the UPR engages in crosstalk with autophagy, the ubiquitin proteasome, and other proteostasis pathways, that may all involve hypertension. There is a critical need for studies to establish cause and effect relationships between ER stress and the UPR in hypertension pathophysiology in humans and to determine whether the immune system and ER stress function mainly to exacerbate or initiate hypertension and target organ injury. This review of recent studies proposes new avenues for future research for targeted therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Turnover-constant component production and destruction-is ubiquitous in biology. Turnover occurs across organisms and scales, including for RNAs, proteins, membranes, macromolecular structures, organelles, cells, hair, feathers, nails, antlers, and teeth. For many systems, turnover might seem wasteful when degraded components are often fully functional. Some components turn over with shockingly high rates and others do not turn over at all, further making this process enigmatic. However, turnover can address fundamental problems by yielding powerful properties, including regeneration, rapid repair onset, clearance of unpredictable damage and errors, maintenance of low constitutive levels of disrepair, prevention of stable hazards, and transitions. I argue that trade-offs between turnover benefits and metabolic costs, combined with constraints on turnover, determine its presence and rates across distinct contexts. I suggest that the limits of turnover help explain aging and that turnover properties and the basis for its levels underlie this fundamental component of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore differentially expressed endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated genes (ERSAGs) in aortic dissection (AD) and their correlations with immune cell infiltration to identify new therapeutic targets for AD. METHODS Two AD mRNA expression datasets (GSE190635 and GSE98770) were downloaded from GEO database for analysis of differentially expressed genes between the aorta of AD patients and normal aorta using R software. ERSAGs dataset was downloaded from GeneCards website, and GeneMANIA database was used to analyze the protein-protein interaction network of the differentially expressed ERSAGs and the proteins interacting with these genes. Based on GSE98770 dataset we analyzed the distributions of 22 immune cells within the aortic wall of AD patients using CIBERSORT package of R software. Surgical aortic wall specimens were obtained from 10 AD patients and 10 non-AD patients for detecting AGER mRNA expression using qRTPCR, and the upstream transcriptional factors, miRNAs, and chemicals targeting AGER were analyzed using the TRRUST database and NetworkAnalyst database. RESULTS Bioinformatic analysis suggested significant differential expression of AGER in AD, which interacted with 20 proteins involved in pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway, positive regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity, myeloid leukocyte migration, leukocyte migration, and regulation of the I-κB kinase/NF-κB signaling. In AD, AGER expression level was positively correlated with Treg cell abundance (r=0.59, P < 0.05). The results of qRT-PCR demonstrated significantly lower expression of AGER mRNA in AD than in non-AD patients (1.00±0.30 vs 1.76±0.68, P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that at the cut-off value of 1.335, AGER had an AUC of 0.86 (95% CI: 0.67-1.00, P= 0.0073) for predicting AD. Three transcriptional factors, 3 miRNAs, and 27 chemicals were predicted in the AGER regulatory network. CONCLUSION AGER is lowly expressed in the aorta of AD patients and may influence the occurrence of AD through Treg cells.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of stress responses in multiple eukaryotic cells. However, little is known about the effector mechanisms that regulate stress responses in ER of the malaria parasite. Herein, we aimed to identify the importance of a transmembrane protein 33 (TMEM33)-domain-containing protein in life cycle of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei. TMEM33 is an ER membrane-resident protein that is involved in regulating stress responses in various eukaryotic cells. A C-terminal tagged TMEM33 was localized in the ER throughout the blood and mosquito stages of development. Targeted deletion of TMEM33 confirmed its importance for asexual blood stages and ookinete development, in addition to its essential role for sporozoite infectivity in the mammalian host. Pilot scale analysis shows that the loss of TMEM33 results in the initiation of ER stress response and induction of autophagy. Our findings conclude an important role of TMEM33 in the development of all life cycle stages of the malaria parasite, which indicates its potential as an antimalarial target.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum is a key site for protein production and quality control. More than one-third of proteins are synthesized and folded into the correct three-dimensional conformation in the endoplasmic reticulum. However, during protein folding, unfolded and/or misfolded proteins are prone to occur, which may lead to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Organisms can monitor the quality of the proteins produced by endoplasmic reticulum quality control (ERQC) and endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD), which maintain endoplasmic reticulum protein homeostasis by degrading abnormally folded proteins. The underlying mechanisms of protein folding and ERAD in mammals have not yet been fully explored. Therefore, this paper reviews the process and function of protein folding and ERAD in mammalian cells, in order to help clinicians better understand the mechanism of ERAD and to provide a scientific reference for the treatment of diseases caused by abnormal ERAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type A aortic dissection is a fatal disease. However, the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related genes (ERSRGs) in type A aortic dissection has not yet been fully clarified. METHODS Differentially expressed genes in the aorta of type A aortic dissection patients were analyzed based on the GSE52093 database. The ERSRGs were downloaded from the GeneCards website. Functional enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction analysis were performed on the acquired differentially expressed ERSRGs. The mRNA expression of the 5 top key differentially expressed ERSRGs was further explored in GSE153434 and clinical samples. Immune infiltration correlation analysis was performed on the validated key genes. Finally, we constructed regulatory networks of transcription factors, miRNAs, and chemicals. RESULTS Twelve differentially expressed ERSRGs were identified, of which 8 genes were downregulated and 4 genes were upregulated. GeneMANIA was adopted to analyze these genes and their interacting proteins, and the results showed that the main function was calcium ion transport. Four key genes, ACTC1, CASQ2, SPP1, and REEP1, were validated in GSE153434 and clinical samples. The area under the ROC curve values for ACTC1, CASQ2, SPP1, and REEP1 were 0.92, 0.96, 0.89, and 1.00, respectively. ACTC1 and REEP1 correlated with multiple immune cells. Many transcription factors, microRNAs, and chemicals were identified with the potential to regulate these 4 key genes. CONCLUSION In this study, we identified 12 differentially expressed ERSRGs by analyzing the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Four key genes may influence the development of type A aortic dissection by regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress. These results expand our understanding of type A aortic dissection, and the 4 key genes are expected to be diagnostic markers and potential therapeutic targets.

Decreased Proteasomal Function Exacerbates Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Induced Chronic Inflammation in Obese Adipose Tissue. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2024:S0002-9440(24)00076-2.

Abstract
Low-grade chronic inflammation contributes to both aging and the pathogenesis of age-related diseases. White adipose tissue (WAT) in obese individuals exhibits chronic inflammation, which is associated with obesity-related disorders. Aging exacerbates obesity-related inflammation in WAT; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying chronic inflammation and its exacerbation by aging remain unclear. Age-related decline in activity of the proteasome, a multisubunit proteolytic complex, has been implicated in age-related diseases. This study employed a mouse model with decreased proteasomal function that exhibits age-related phenotypes to investigate the impact of adipocyte senescence on WAT inflammation. Transgenic mice expressing proteasomal subunit β5t with weak chymotrypsin-like activity experience reduced lifespan and develop age-related phenotypes. Mice fed with a high-fat diet and experiencing proteasomal dysfunction exhibited increased WAT inflammation, increased infiltration of proinflammatory M1-like macrophages, and increased proinflammatory adipocytokine-like monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and tumor necrosis factor-α, which are all associated with activation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related pathways. Impaired proteasomal activity also activated ER stress-related molecules and induced expression of proinflammatory adipocytokines in adipocyte-like cells differentiated from 3T3-L1 cells. Collective evidence suggests that impaired proteasomal activity increases ER stress and that subsequent inflammatory pathways play pivotal roles in WAT inflammation. Because proteasomal function declines with age, age-related proteasome impairment may be involved in obesity-related inflammation among elderly individuals.

Abstract
Animals live in habitats fraught with a range of environmental challenges to their bodies and brains. Accordingly, cells and organ systems have evolved stress-responsive signaling pathways that enable them to not only withstand environmental challenges but also to prepare for future challenges and function more efficiently. These phylogenetically conserved processes are the foundation of the hormesis principle, in which single or repeated exposures to low levels of environmental challenges improve cellular and organismal fitness and raise the probability of survival. Hormetic principles have been most intensively studied in physical exercise but apply to numerous other challenges known to improve human health (e.g., intermittent fasting, cognitive stimulation, and dietary phytochemicals). Here we review the physiological mechanisms underlying hormesis-based neuroplasticity and neuroprotection. Approaching natural resilience from the lens of hormesis may reveal novel methods for optimizing brain function and lowering the burden of neurological disorders.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION NGLY1-associated congenital disorder of deglycosylation (CDDG1: OMIM #615273) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by a functional impairment of endoplasmic reticulum in degradation of glycoproteins. Neurocognitive dysfunctions have been documented in patients with CDDG1; however, deteriorating phenotypes of affected individuals remain elusive. CASE PRESENTATION A Japanese boy with delayed psychomotor development showed ataxic movements from age 5 years and myoclonic seizures from age 12 years. Appetite loss, motor and cognitive decline became evident at age 12 years. Electrophysiological studies identified paroxysmal discharges on myoclonic seizure and a giant somatosensory evoked potential. Perampanel was effective for controlling myoclonic seizures. Exome sequencing revealed that the patient carried compound heterozygous variants in NGLY1, NM_018297.4: c.857G > A and c.-17_12del, which were inherited from mother and father, respectively. A literature review confirmed that myoclonic seizures were observed in 28.5% of patients with epilepsy. No other patients had progressive myoclonic epilepsy or cognitive decline in association with loss-of-function variations in NGLY1. CONCLUSION Our data provides evidence that a group of patients with CDDG1 manifest slowly progressive myoclonic epilepsy and cognitive decline during the long-term clinical course.

Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii is among the most important parasites worldwide. The apicoplast is a unique organelle shared by all Apicomplexan protozoa. Increasing lines of evidence suggest that the apicoplast possesses its own ubiquitination system. Deubiquitination is a crucial step executed by deubiquitinase (DUB) during protein ubiquitination. While multiple components of ubiquitination have been identified in T. gondii, the deubiquitinases involved remain unknown. The aim of the current study was to delineate the localization of TgOTU7 and elucidate its functions. TgOTU7 was specifically localized at the apicoplast, and its expression was largely regulated during the cell cycle. Additionally, TgOTU7 efficiently breaks down ubiquitin chains, exhibits linkage-nonspecific deubiquitinating activity and is critical for the lytic cycle and apicoplast biogenesis, similar to the transcription of the apicoplast genome and the nuclear genes encoding apicoplast-targeted proteins. Taken together, the results indicate that the newly described deubiquitinase TgOTU7 specifically localizes to the apicoplast and affects the cell growth and apicoplast homeostasis of T. gondii.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is highly critical for the sub-cellular protein synthesis, post-translational modifications and myriads of signalling pathways to maintain cellular homeostasis. Consequently, dysregulation in the ER functions leads to the ER stress in different pathological situations including cancer. Hence, exploring small molecules to induce ER stress emerged as one of the unorthodox strategies for future cancer therapeutics. However, development of ER targeted novel small molecules remains elusive due to the dearth of ER targeting moieties. Herein we have synthesized a small library of 3-methoxy-pyrrole-enamine through a concise strategy. Screening of this library in cervical (HeLa), colon (HCT-116), breast (MCF7) and lung cancer (A549) cells identified a novel small molecule which localized into the ER of the HeLa cervical cancer cells within 3 h, induced ER stress through the increased expression of ER stress markers (CHOP, IRE1α, PERK, BiP and Cas-12) and triggered the programmed cell death (apoptosis) leading to remarkable HeLa cell killing. This novel small molecule can be explored further as a tool to understand the chemical biology of ER towards the development of ER targeted cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
ER-phagy is a selective autophagy process that targets specific regions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for removal via lysosomal degradation. During cellular stress induced by starvation, cargo receptors concentrate at distinct ER-phagy sites (ERPHS) to recruit core autophagy proteins and initiate ER-phagy. However, the molecular mechanism responsible for ERPHS formation remains unclear. In our study, we discovered that the autophagy regulator UV radiation Resistance-Associated Gene (UVRAG) plays a crucial role in orchestrating the assembly of ERPHS. Upon starvation, UVRAG localizes to ERPHS and interacts with specific ER-phagy cargo receptors, such as FAM134B, ATL3, and RTN3L. UVRAG regulates the oligomerization of cargo receptors and facilitates the recruitment of Atg8 family proteins. Consequently, UVRAG promotes efficient ERPHS assembly and turnover of both ER sheets and tubules. Importantly, UVRAG-mediated ER-phagy contributes to the clearance of pathogenic proinsulin aggregates. Remarkably, the involvement of UVRAG in ER-phagy initiation is independent of its canonical function as a subunit of class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex II.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative illness characterized by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, resulting in motor symptoms and without debilitating motors. A hallmark of this condition is the accumulation of misfolded proteins, a phenomenon that drives disease progression. In this regard, heat shock proteins (HSPs) play a central role in the cellular response to stress, shielding cells from damage induced by protein aggregates and oxidative stress. As a result, researchers have become increasingly interested in modulating these proteins through pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic interventions. This review aims to provide an overview of the preclinical experiments performed over the last decade in this research field. Specifically, it focuses on preclinical studies that center on the modulation of stress proteins for the treatment potential of PD. The findings display promise in targeting HSPs to ameliorate PD outcomes. Despite the complexity of HSPs and their co-chaperones, proteins such as HSP70, HSP27, HSP90, and glucose-regulated protein-78 (GRP78) may be efficacious in slowing or preventing disease progression. Nevertheless, clinical validation is essential to confirm the safety and effectiveness of these preclinical approaches.

Abstract
Cellular activities are commonly associated with dynamic proteomic changes at the subcellular level. Although several techniques are available to quantify whole-cell protein turnover dynamics, such measurements often lack sufficient spatial resolution at the subcellular level. Herein, we report the development of prox-SILAC method that combines proximity-dependent protein labeling (APEX2/HRP) with metabolic incorporation of stable isotopes (pulse-SILAC) to map newly synthesized proteins with subcellular spatial resolution. We apply prox-SILAC to investigate proteome dynamics in the mitochondrial matrix and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen. Our analysis reveals a highly heterogeneous distribution in protein turnover dynamics within macromolecular machineries such as the mitochondrial ribosome and respiratory complexes I-V, thus shedding light on their mechanism of hierarchical assembly. Furthermore, we investigate the dynamic changes of ER proteome when cells are challenged with stress or undergoing stimulated differentiation, identifying subsets of proteins with unique patterns of turnover dynamics, which may play key regulatory roles in alleviating stress or promoting differentiation. We envision that prox-SILAC could be broadly applied to profile protein turnover at various subcellular compartments, under both physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Plants are often exposed not only to short-term (S-) but also to long-term (L-)heat stress over several consecutive days. A few Arabidopsis mutants defective in L-heat tolerance have been identified, but the molecular mechanisms are less understood for this tolerance than for S-heat stress tolerance. To elucidate the mechanisms of the former, we used a forward genetic screen for sensitive to long-term heat (sloh) mutants and isolated sloh3 and sloh63. The mutants were hypersensitive to L- but not to S-heat stress, and sloh63 was also hypersensitive to salt stress. We identified the causal genes, SLOH3 and SLOH63, both of which encoded splicing-related components of the MOS4-associated complex (MAC). This complex is widely conserved in eukaryotes and has been suggested to interact with spliceosomes. Both genes were induced by L-heat stress in a time-dependent manner, and some abnormal splicing events were observed in both mutants under L-heat stress. In addition, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and subsequent unfolded protein response occurred in both mutants under L-heat stress and were especially prominent in sloh63, suggesting that enhanced ER stress is due to the salt hypersensitivity of sloh63. Splicing inhibitor pladienolide B led to concentration-dependent disturbance of splicing, decreased L-heat tolerance, and enhanced ER stress. These findings suggest that maintenance of precise mRNA splicing under L-heat stress by the MAC is important for L-heat tolerance and suppressing ER stress in Arabidopsis.

Abstract
Ubiquitin fold modifier 1 is a small ubiquitin-like protein modifier that is essential for embryonic development of metazoans. Although UFMylation has been connected to endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis, the underlying mechanisms and the relevant cellular targets are largely unknown. Here, we show that HRD1, a ubiquitin ligase of ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD), is a novel substrate of UFM1 conjugation. HRD1 interacts with UFMylation components UFL1 and DDRGK1 and is UFMylated at Lys610 residue. In UFL1-depleted cells, the stability of HRD1 is increased and its ubiquitination modification is reduced. In the event of ER stress, the UFMylation and ubiquitination modification of HRD1 is gradually inhibited over time. Alteration of HRD1 Lys610 residue to arginine impairs its ability to degrade unfolded or misfolded proteins to disturb protein processing in ER. These results suggest that UFMylation of HRD1 facilitates ERAD function to maintain ER homeostasis.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the most extensively used biosynthetic systems for the production of diverse bioproducts, especially biotherapeutics and recombinant proteins. Because the expression and insertion of foreign genes are always impaired by the endogenous factors of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and nonproductive procedures, various technologies have been developed to enhance the strength and efficiency of transcription and facilitate gene editing procedures. Thus, the limitations that block heterologous protein secretion have been overcome. Highly efficient promoters responsible for the initiation of transcription and the accurate regulation of expression have been developed that can be precisely regulated with synthetic promoters and double promoter expression systems. Appropriate codon optimization and harmonization for adaption to the genomic codon abundance of S. cerevisiae are expected to further improve the transcription and translation efficiency. Efficient and accurate translocation can be achieved by fusing a specifically designed signal peptide to an upstream foreign gene to facilitate the secretion of newly synthesized proteins. In addition to the widely applied promoter engineering technology and the clear mechanism of the endoplasmic reticulum secretory pathway, the innovative genome editing technique CRISPR/Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated system) and its derivative tools allow for more precise and efficient gene disruption, site-directed mutation, and foreign gene insertion. This review focuses on sophisticated engineering techniques and emerging genetic technologies developed for the accurate metabolic regulation of the S. cerevisiae expression system.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions as a quality-control organelle for protein homeostasis, or "proteostasis". The protein quality control systems involve ER-associated degradation, protein chaperons, and autophagy. ER stress is activated when proteostasis is broken with an accumulation of misfolded and unfolded proteins in the ER. ER stress activates an adaptive unfolded protein response to restore proteostasis by initiating protein kinase R-like ER kinase, activating transcription factor 6, and inositol requiring enzyme 1. ER stress is multifaceted, and acts on aspects at the epigenetic level, including transcription and protein processing. Accumulated data indicates its key role in protein homeostasis and other diverse functions involved in various ocular diseases, such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, achromatopsia, cataracts, ocular tumors, ocular surface diseases, and myopia. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms underlying the aforementioned ocular diseases from an ER stress perspective. Drugs (chemicals, neurotrophic factors, and nanoparticles), gene therapy, and stem cell therapy are used to treat ocular diseases by alleviating ER stress. We delineate the advancement of therapy targeting ER stress to provide new treatment strategies for ocular diseases.

Abstract
Oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is driven mainly by protein disulfide isomerase PDI and oxidoreductin Ero1. Their activity is tightly regulated and interconnected with the unfolded protein response (UPR). The mechanisms of disulfide bond formation have mainly been studied in human or in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we analyze the kinetics of disulfide bond formation in the non-conventional yeast Komagataella phaffii, a common host for the production of recombinant secretory proteins. Surprisingly, we found significant differences with both the human and S. cerevisiae systems. Specifically, we report an inactive disulfide linked complex formed by K. phaffii Ero1 and Pdi1, similarly to the human orthologs, but not described in yeast before. Furthermore, we show how the interaction between K. phaffii Pdi1 and Ero1 is unaffected by the introduction of unfolded substrate into the system. This is drastically opposed to the previously observed behavior of the human pathway, suggesting a different regulation of the UPR and/or possibly different interaction mechanics between K. phaffii Pdi1 and Ero1.

Abstract
Efficient brain function requires as much as 20% of the total oxygen intake to support normal neuronal cell function. This level of oxygen usage, however, leads to the generation of free radicals, and thus can lead to oxidative stress and potentially to age-related cognitive decay and even neurodegenerative diseases. The regulation of this system requires a complex monitoring network to maintain proper oxygen homeostasis. Furthermore, the high content of mitochondria in the brain has elevated glucose demands, and thus requires a normal redox balance. Maintaining this is mediated by adaptive stress response pathways that permit cells to survive oxidative stress and to minimize cellular damage. These stress pathways rely on the proper function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), a cellular pathway responsible for normal ER function and cell survival. Interestingly, the UPR has two opposing signaling pathways, one that promotes cell survival and one that induces apoptosis. In this narrative review, we discuss the opposing roles of the UPR signaling pathways and how a better understanding of these stress pathways could potentially allow for the development of effective strategies to prevent age-related cognitive decay as well as treat neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Fungi are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that infect humans, animals, and plants. To successfully colonize their hosts, pathogenic fungi must continuously adapt to the host's unique environment, e.g., changes in temperature, pH, and nutrient availability. Appropriate protein folding, assembly, and degradation are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and survival under stressful conditions. Therefore, the regulation of proteostasis is crucial for fungal pathogenesis. The heat shock response (HSR) is one of the most important cellular mechanisms for maintaining proteostasis. It is activated by various stresses and regulates the activity of heat shock proteins (HSPs). As molecular chaperones, HSPs participate in the proteostatic network to control cellular protein levels by affecting their conformation, location, and degradation. In recent years, a growing body of evidence has highlighted the crucial yet understudied role of stress response circuits in fungal infections. This review explores the role of protein homeostasis and HSPs in fungal pathogenicity, including their contributions to virulence and host-pathogen interactions, as well as the concerted effects between HSPs and the main proteostasis circuits in the cell. Furthermore, we discuss perspectives in the field and the potential for targeting the components of these circuits to develop novel antifungal therapies.

Abstract
Bone regeneration therapy is clinically important, and targeted regulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is important in regenerative medicine. The processing of proteins in the ER controls cell fate. The accumulation of misfolded and unfolded proteins occurs in pathological states, triggering ER stress. ER stress restores homeostasis through three main mechanisms, including protein kinase-R-like ER kinase (PERK), inositol-requiring enzyme 1ɑ (IRE1ɑ) and activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), collectively known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). However, the UPR has both adaptive and apoptotic effects. Modulation of ER stress has therapeutic potential for numerous diseases. Repair of bone defects involves both angiogenesis and bone regeneration. Here, we review the effects of ER stress on osteogenesis and angiogenesis, with emphasis on ER stress under high glucose (HG) and inflammatory conditions, and the use of ER stress inducers or inhibitors to regulate osteogenesis and angiogenesis. In addition, we highlight the ability for exosomes to regulate ER stress. Recent advances in the regulation of ER stress mediated osteogenesis and angiogenesis suggest novel therapeutic options for bone defects.

Abstract
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-targeted (HER2-targeted) therapy is the mainstay of treatment for HER2+ breast cancer. However, the proteolytic cleavage of HER2, or HER2 shedding, induces the release of the target epitope at the ectodomain (ECD) and the generation of a constitutively active intracellular fragment (p95HER2), impeding the effectiveness of anti-HER2 therapy. Therefore, identifying key regulators in HER2 shedding might provide promising targetable vulnerabilities against resistance. In the current study, we found that upregulation of dolichyl-phosphate N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (DPAGT1) sustained high-level HER2 shedding to confer trastuzumab resistance, which was associated with poor clinical outcomes. Upon trastuzumab treatment, the membrane-bound DPAGT1 protein was endocytosed via the caveolae pathway and retrogradely transported to the ER, where DPAGT1 induced N-glycosylation of the sheddase - ADAM metallopeptidase domain 10 (ADAM10) - to ensure its expression, maturation, and activation. N-glycosylation of ADAM10 at N267 protected itself from ER-associated protein degradation and was essential for DPAGT1-mediated HER2 shedding and trastuzumab resistance. Importantly, inhibition of DPAGT1 with tunicamycin acted synergistically with trastuzumab treatment to block HER2 signaling and reverse resistance. These findings reveal a prominent mechanism for HER2 shedding and suggest that targeting DPAGT1 might be a promising strategy against trastuzumab-resistant breast cancer.

Abstract
Purpose The unfolded protein response (UPR) is triggered when the protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is overwhelmed and misfolded proteins accumulate in the ER, a condition referred to as ER stress. IRE1α is an ER-resident protein that plays major roles in orchestrating the UPR. Several lines of evidence implicate the UPR and its transducers in neurodegenerative diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a group of inherited diseases that cause progressive dysfunction and loss of rod and cone photoreceptors. This study evaluated the contribution of IRE1α to photoreceptor development, homeostasis, and degeneration. Methods We used a conditional gene targeting strategy to selectively inactivate Ire1α in mouse rod photoreceptors. We used a combination of optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging, histology, and electroretinography (ERG) to assess longitudinally the effect of IRE1α deficiency in retinal development and function. Furthermore, we evaluated the IRE1α-deficient retina responses to tunicamycin-induced ER stress and in the context of RP caused by the rhodopsin mutation RhoP23H. Results OCT imaging, histology, and ERG analyses did not reveal abnormalities in IRE1α-deficient retinas up to 3 months old. However, by 6 months of age, the Ire1α mutant animals showed reduced outer nuclear layer thickness and deficits in retinal function. Furthermore, conditional inactivation of Ire1α in rod photoreceptors accelerated retinal degeneration caused by the RhoP23H mutation. Conclusions These data suggest that IRE1α is dispensable for photoreceptor development but important for photoreceptor homeostasis in aging retinas and for protecting against ER stress-mediated photoreceptor degeneration.

Abstract
High temperatures severely affect plant growth and pose a threat to global crop production. Heat causes the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum(ER), as well as triggering the heat-shock response (HSR) in the cytosol and the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the ER. Excessive misfolded proteins undergo further degradation through ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Although much research on the plant heat stress response has been conducted, the regulation of ER-localized proteins has not been well-studied thus far. We isolated the microsome fraction from heat-treated and untreated maize seedlings and performed proteome and ubiquitylome analyses. Of the 8306 total proteins detected in the proteomics analysis, 1675 proteins were significantly up-regulated and 708 proteins were significantly down-regulated. Global ubiquitination analysis revealed 1780 proteins with at least one ubiquitination site. Motif analysis revealed that alanine and glycine are the preferred amino acids upstream and downstream of ubiquitinated lysine sites. ERAD components were found to be hyper-ubiquitinated after heat treatment, implying the feedback regulation of ERAD activity through protein degradation.

Abstract
A moonlighting protein is one, which carries out multiple, often wholly unrelated, functions. The RAD23 protein is a fascinating example of this, where the same polypeptide and the embedded domains function independently in both nucleotide excision repair (NER) and protein degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Hence, through direct binding to the central NER component XPC, RAD23 stabilizes XPC and contributes to DNA damage recognition. Conversely, RAD23 also interacts directly with the 26S proteasome and ubiquitylated substrates to mediate proteasomal substrate recognition. In this function, RAD23 activates the proteolytic activity of the proteasome and engages specifically in well-characterized degradation pathways through direct interactions with E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases and other UPS components. Here, we summarize the past 40 years of research into the roles of RAD23 in NER and the UPS.

Abstract
Dietary fibers such as fructans have beneficial effects on intestinal health but it is unknown whether they impact goblet cells (GCs). Here we studied the effects of inulin-type fructans (ITFs) and graminan-type fructans (GTFs) with different molecular weights on mucus- and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related genes in intestinal GCs. To that end, GCs were incubated in the presence of ITFs or GTFs, or ITFs and GTFs + TNFα or the N-glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin (Tm). IL-8 production by GCs was studied as a marker of inflammation. Effects between ITFs and GTFs were compared. We found a beneficial impact of GTFs especially on the expression of RETNLB. GTF II protects from the TNFα-induced gene expression dysregulation of MUC2, TFF3, GAL3ST2, and CHST5. Also, all the studied fructans prevented Tm-induced dysregulation of GAL3ST2. Interestingly, only the short chain fructans ITF I and GTF I have anti-inflammatory properties on GCs. All the studied fructans except ITF I decreased the expression of the ER stress-related HSPA5 and XBP1. All these benefits were fructan-structure and chain length dependent. Our study contributes to a better understanding of chemical structure-dependent beneficial effects of ITFs and GTFs on gut barrier function, which could contribute to prevention of gut inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
In mammalian cells, the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays central roles in the biogenesis of extracellular plus organellar proteins and in various signal transduction pathways. For these reasons, the ER comprises molecular chaperones, which are involved in import, folding, assembly, export, plus degradation of polypeptides, and signal transduction components, such as calcium channels, calcium pumps, and UPR transducers plus adenine nucleotide carriers/exchangers in the ER membrane. The calcium- and ATP-dependent ER lumenal Hsp70, termed immunoglobulin heavy-chain-binding protein or BiP, is the central player in all these activities and involves up to nine different Hsp40-type co-chaperones, i.e., ER membrane integrated as well as ER lumenal J-domain proteins, termed ERj or ERdj proteins, two nucleotide exchange factors or NEFs (Grp170 and Sil1), and NEF-antagonists, such as MANF. Here we summarize the current knowledge on the ER-resident BiP/ERj chaperone network and focus on the interaction of BiP with the polypeptide-conducting and calcium-permeable Sec61 channel of the ER membrane as an example for BiP action and how its functional cycle is linked to ER protein import and various calcium-dependent signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to explore the effect of the Semaphorin3A (Sema3A)/Neuropilin-1 (Nrp-1) pathway on Müller cell activities and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induced by high glucose (HG) in vitro. METHODS The primary Müller cells of C57BL/6J mice were isolated and cultured in normal or high glucose medium. The expression of endogenous Sema3A and its coreceptor Nrp-1 was measured by Western blot. Müller cells were incubated with exogenous recombinant Sema3A protein or transfected with lentiviral vectors expressing small hairpin RNA (shRNA) to knock down the expression of endogenous Sema3A. The proliferation of Müller cells was detected by CCK-8 assay and EdU staining. The migratory ability was detected by the Transwell migration assay. The level of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress was analyzed through the detection of GRP78/BiP, IRE1α, phosphorylated IRE1αS724 (p-IRE1αS724), and the splicing rate of XBP1 (XBP1s/XBP1) by using immunofluorescence, Western blot or quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). RESULTS HG induced the upregulation of endogenous Sema3A and Nrp-1 receptors in Müller cells. The expression of GRP78/BiP and IRE1α was upregulated by HG, with an increased splicing rate of XBP1. Exogenous Sema3A inhibited HG-induced Müller cell proliferation, migration, and GRP78/BiP-IRE1α-XBP1 axis activation. Knockdown of Sema3A promoted proliferation, migration, and ER stress induced by high glucose in Müller cells. CONCLUSION Sema3A inhibited the increased proliferative and migratory activities induced by high glucose by attenuating ER stress in Müller cells.

Performance and Metabolic, Inflammatory, and Oxidative Stress-Related Parameters in Early Lactating Dairy Cows with High and Low Hepatic FGF21 Expression. Animals (Basel) 2022; 13:ani13010131. [PMID: 36611740 PMCID: PMC9817787 DOI: 10.3390/ani13010131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Induction of FGF21 expression in the liver and a significant increase in plasma FGF21 concentration have been demonstrated in cows during early lactation, but knowledge about the function of FGF21 in dairy cows remains limited. In order to improve the understanding of the physiological role of FGF21 in dairy cows, the present study aimed to investigate differences in metabolic pathways between dairy cows with high and low hepatic expression of FGF21 at week 1 of lactation (n = 8/group) by liver transcriptomics, targeted plasma metabolomics, and analysis of inflammatory and oxidative stress-related parameters. Dry matter intake, energy balance, milk yield, and energy-corrected milk yield at days 8−14 postpartum did not differ between cows with high and low hepatic FGF21 expression. However, cows with high FGF21 expression showed an upregulation of genes involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress, inflammation, and nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-dependent cytoprotection compared to cows with low FGF21 expression at week 1 postpartum (p < 0.05). Concentrations of important antioxidants (tocopherols, β-carotene, and glutathione) in the liver and plasma, trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity in plasma, concentrations of oxidative stress-related compounds (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and protein carbonyls), and levels of most acute phase proteins at week 1 postpartum did not differ between cows with high or low FGF21 expression. Moreover, among a total of >200 metabolites assayed in the plasma, concentrations of only 7 metabolites were different between cows with high or low FGF21 expression (p < 0.05). Overall, the results showed that cows with high and low FGF21 hepatic expression had only moderate differences in metabolism, but FGF21 might be important in the adaptation of dairy cows to stress conditions during early lactation.

Polystyrene nanoplastics promote CHIP-mediated degradation of tight junction proteins by activating IRE1α/XBP1s pathway in mouse Sertoli cells. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 248:114332. [PMID: 36446169 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.114332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) widely exist in human living environment and enter the body through water, food chain and breathing. Several studies have shown that MPs or NPs disrupt the blood-testis barrier in rodents. However, the molecular mechanism by which MPs and NPs damage the blood-testis barrier remains unclear. In the present study, our aim was to investigate the molecular mechanism of the destruction of blood-testis barrier induced by polystyrene (PS)-NPs. Mice were treated with 50 μg/kg·day PS-NPs by tail vein injection once daily for two consecutive days. The results showed that PS-NPs exposure significantly decreased the levels of tight junction (TJ) proteins ZO-2, occludin and claudin-11 in testis of mice. In vitro, we used TM4 Sertoli cells to explore the underlying mechanism of the decrease in TJ proteins induced by PS-NPs. We found that PS-NPs activated IRE1α and induced its downstream XBP1 splicing, which in turn elevated the expression of the E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP, then CHIP triggers proteasomal degradation of ZO-2, occludin, and claudin-11 proteins. Our findings suggest that IRE1α/XBP1s/CHIP pathway is a pivotal mechanism of TJ proteins degradation induced by PS-NPs in mouse Sertoli cells. In conclusion, our results reveal that the degradation of TJ proteins is one of the mechanisms of blood-testis barrier destruction caused by acute exposure to PS-NPs.

Abstract
N-glycanase 1(NGLY1) catalyzes the removal of N-linked glycans from newly synthesized or misfolded protein. NGLY1 deficiency is a recently diagnosed rare genetic disorder. The affected individuals present a broad spectrum of clinical features. Recent studies explored several possible molecular mechanisms of NGLY1 deficiency including defects in proteostasis, mitochondrial homeostasis, innate immunity, and water/ion transport. We demonstrate abnormal accumulation of endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) substrates in NGLY1-deficient cells. Global quantitative proteomics discovered elevated levels of endogenous proteins in NGLY1-defective human and mouse cells. Further biological validation assays confirmed the altered abundance of several key candidates that were subjected to isobarically labeled proteomic analysis. CCN2 was selected for further analysis due to its significant increase in different cell models of NGLY1 deficiency. Functional assays show elevated CCN2 and over-stimulated TGF-β signaling in NGLY1-deficient cells. Given the important role of CCN2 and TGF-β pathway in mediating systemic fibrosis, we propose a potential link of increased CCN2 and TGF-β signaling to microscopic liver fibrosis in NGLY1 patients.

Abstract
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is a novel evolutionarily conserved protein present in both vertebrate and invertebrate species. MANF shows distinct structural and functional properties than the traditional neurotrophic factors (NTF). MANF is composed of an N-terminal saposin-like lipid-binding domain and a C-terminal SAF-A/B, Acinus and PIAS (SAP) domain connected by a short linker. The two well-described activities of MANF include (1) role as a neurotrophic factor that plays direct neuroprotective effects in the nervous system and (2) cell protective effects in the animal models of non-neuronal diseases, including retinal damage, diabetes mellitus, liver injury, myocardial infarction, nephrotic syndrome, etc. The main objective of the current review is to provide up-to-date insights regarding the structure of MANF, mechanisms regulating its expression and secretion, physiological functions in various tissues and organs, protective effects during aging, and potential clinical applications. Together, this review highlights the importance of MANF in reversing age-related dysfunction and geroprotection.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) coordinates mRNA translation and processing of secreted and endomembrane proteins. ER-associated degradation (ERAD) prevents the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER, but the physiological regulation of this process remains poorly characterized. Here, in a genetic screen using an ERAD model substrate in Caenorhabditis elegans, we identified an anti-viral RNA interference pathway, referred to as ER-associated RNA silencing (ERAS), which acts together with ERAD to preserve ER homeostasis and function. Induced by ER stress, ERAS is mediated by the Argonaute protein RDE-1/AGO2, is conserved in mammals and promotes ER-associated RNA turnover. ERAS and ERAD are complementary, as simultaneous inactivation of both quality-control pathways leads to increased ER stress, reduced protein quality control and impaired intestinal integrity. Collectively, our findings indicate that ER homeostasis and organismal health are protected by synergistic functions of ERAS and ERAD.

Abstract
Inositol-requiring enzyme 1 α (IRE1α) is a type I transmembrane protein that resides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). IRE1α, which is the primary sensor of ER stress, has been proven to maintain intracellular protein homeostasis by activating X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1). Further studies have revealed novel physiological functions of the IRE1α, such as its roles in mRNA and protein degradation, inflammation, immunity, cell proliferation and cell death. Therefore, the function of IRE1α is not limited to its role in ER stress; IRE1α is also important for regulating other processes related to cellular physiology. Furthermore, IRE1α plays a key role in neurodegenerative diseases that are caused by the phosphorylation of Tau protein, the accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn) and the toxic effects of mutant Huntingtin (mHtt). Therefore, targeting IRE1α is a valuable approach for treating neurodegenerative diseases and regulating cell functions. This review discusses the role of IRE1α in different cellular processes, and emphasizes the importance of IRE1α in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common form of glaucoma, for which elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor. IOP is mainly regulated by dynamic balance of aqueous humor (AH) production and outflow via the conventional trabecular meshwork/Schlemm's canal (TM/SC) pathway. Dysfunctions of TM cells due to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress have been demonstrated to increase the resistance of AH outflow, resulting in IOP elevation. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the most abundant polyphenolic component in green tea, has been shown to alleviate ER stress in several diseases while its potential roles in alleviating ER stress in TM cells have not been determined. In this study, we investigate the mitigation of tunicamycin-induced ER stress in TM cells by EGCG. MTT assay was used to measure the cell viability of human TM (HTM) cells and primary porcine TM (PTM) cells. ER stress levels in both HTM cells and primary PTM cells were detected by quantitative real-time PCR. The primary PTM cells isolated from porcine TM tissues were characterized by immunostaining. We found that 40 μM and 80 μM EGCG pretreatment substantially promoted HTM cell survival under 3 μM tunicamycin-induced ER stress. Pretreatment of 40 μM EGCG markedly reduced the expression of ER stress markers ATF4, HSPA5, and DDIT3, evoked by 3 μM tunicamycin in HTM cells. Furthermore, 40 μM EGCG pretreatment significantly decreased the expressions of ATF4, HSPA5, and DDIT3 at the mRNA level induced by 3 μM tunicamycin and improved cell viability in primary PTM cells. Our results show that EGCG is capable of protecting TM cells from ER stress. EGCG provides a promising therapeutic option for POAG treatment.

Abstract
Ubiquitin specific protease (USP)-13 is a deubiquitinase that removes ubiquitin from substrates to prevent protein degradation by the proteasome. Currently, the roles of USP13 in physiology and pathology have been reported. In physiology, USP13 is highly associated with cell cycle regulation, DNA damage repair, myoblast differentiation, quality control of the endoplasmic reticulum, and autophagy. In pathology, it has been reported that USP13 is important in the pathogenesis of infection, inflammation, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), neurodegenerative diseases, and cancers. This mini-review summarizes the most recent advances in USP13 studies involving its pathophysiological roles in different conditions and provides new insights into the prevention and treatment of relevant diseases, as well as further research on USP13.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) represents one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by a dopamine (DA) deficiency in striatal synapses and misfolded toxic α-synuclein aggregates with concomitant cytotoxicity. In this regard, the misfolded proteins accumulation in neurodegenerative disorders induces a remarkable perturbations of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis leading to persistent ER stress, which in turn, effects protein synthesis, modification, and folding quality control. A large body of evidence suggests that natural products target the ER stress signaling pathway, exerting a potential action in cancers, diabetes, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. This study aims to assess the neuroprotective effect of cocoa extract and its purified fractions against a cellular model of Parkinson’s disease represented by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma. Our findings demonstrate, for the first time, the ability of cocoa to specifically targets PERK sensor, with significant antioxidant and antiapoptotic activities as both crude and fractioning extracts. In addition, cocoa also showed antiapoptotic properties in 3D cell model and a notable ability to inhibit the accumulation of α-synuclein in 6-OHDA-induced cells. Overall, these results indicate that cocoa exerts neuroprotective effects suggesting a novel possible strategy to prevent or, at least, mitigate neurodegenerative disorders, such as PD.
