Glycogen synthase kinase-3β: A multifaceted player in ischemia-reperfusion injury and its therapeutic prospects. J Cell Physiol 2024. [PMID: 38962880 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.31335] [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: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) results in irreversible metabolic dysfunction and structural damage to tissues or organs, posing a formidable challenge in the field of organ implantation, cardiothoracic surgery, and general surgery. Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) a multifunctional serine/threonine kinase, is involved in a variety of biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, and immune response. Phosphorylation of its tyrosine 216 and serine 9 sites positively and negatively regulates the activation and inactivation of the enzyme. Significantly, inhibition or inactivation of GSK-3β provides protection against IRI, making it a viable target for drug development. Though numerous GSK-3β inhibitors have been identified to date, the development of therapeutic treatments remains a considerable distance away. In light of this, this review summarizes the complicated network of GSK-3β roles in IRI. First, we provide an overview of GSK-3β's basic background. Subsequently, we briefly review the pathological mechanisms of GSK-3β in accelerating IRI, and highlight the latest progress of GSK-3β in multiorgan IRI, encompassing heart, brain, kidney, liver, and intestine. Finally, we discuss the current development of GSK-3β inhibitors in various organ IRI, offering a thorough and insightful reference for GSK-3β as a potential target for future IRI therapy.

Abstract
Hura crepitans L. (Euphorbiaceae) is a thorn-covered tree widespread in South America, Africa and Asia which produces an irritating milky latex containing numerous secondary metabolites, notably daphnane-type diterpenes known as Protein Kinase C activators. Fractionation of a dichloromethane extract of the latex led to the isolation of five new daphnane diterpenes (1-5), along with two known analogs (6-7) including huratoxin. Huratoxin (6) and 4',5'-epoxyhuratoxin (4) were found to exhibit significant and selective cell growth inhibition against colorectal cancer cell line Caco-2 and primary colorectal cancer cells cultured as colonoids. The underlying mechanism of 4 and 6 was further investigated revealing the involvement of PKCζ in the cytostatic activity.

A multiplier peroxiporin signal transduction pathway powers piscine spermatozoa. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2021; 118:2019346118.

Abstract
The primary task of a spermatozoon is to deliver its nuclear payload to the egg to form the next-generation zygote. With polyandry repeatedly evolving in the animal kingdom, however, sperm competition has become widespread, with the highest known intensities occurring in fish. Yet, the molecular controls regulating spermatozoon swimming performance in these organisms are largely unknown. Here, we show that the kinematic properties of postactivated piscine spermatozoa are regulated through a conserved trafficking mechanism whereby a peroxiporin ortholog of mammalian aquaporin-8 (Aqp8bb) is inserted into the inner mitochondrial membrane to facilitate H2O2 efflux in order to maintain ATP production. In teleosts from more ancestral lineages, such as the zebrafish (Danio rerio) and the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), in which spermatozoa are activated in freshwater, an intracellular Ca2+-signaling directly regulates this mechanism through monophosphorylation of the Aqp8bb N terminus. In contrast, in more recently evolved marine teleosts, such the gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), in which spermatozoa activation occurs in seawater, a cross-talk between Ca2+- and oxidative stress-activated pathways generate a multiplier regulation of channel trafficking via dual N-terminal phosphorylation. These findings reveal that teleost spermatozoa evolved increasingly sophisticated detoxification pathways to maintain swimming performance under a high osmotic stress, and provide insight into molecular traits that are advantageous for postcopulatory sexual selection.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications of cardiac proteins could participate to left contractile dysfunction resulting in heart failure. Using a rat model of ischemic heart failure, we showed an accumulation of phosphorylated desmin leading to toxic aggregates in cardiomyocytes, but the cellular mechanisms are unknown. The same rat model was used to decipher the kinases involved in desmin phosphorylation and the proteolytic systems present in rat and human failing hearts. We used primary cultures of neonate rat cardiomyocytes for testing specific inhibitors of kinases and for characterizing the autophagic processes able to clear desmin aggregates. We found a significant increase of active PKCζ, no modulation of ubitiquitin-proteasome system, a defect in macroautophagy, and an activation of chaperone-mediated autophagy in heart failure rats. We validated in vitro that PKCζ inhibition induced a significant decrease of GSK3β and of soluble desmin. In vitro activation of ubiquitination of proteins and of chaperone-mediated autophagy is able to decrease soluble and insoluble forms of desmin in cardiomyocytes. These data demonstrate a novel signaling pathway implicating activation of PKCζ in desmin phosphorylation associated with a defect of proteolytic systems in ischemic heart failure, leading to desmin aggrephagy. Our in vitro data demonstrated that ubiquitination of proteins and chaperone-mediated autophagy are required for eliminating desmin aggregates with the contribution of its chaperone protein, α-crystallin Β-chain. Modulation of the kinases involved under pathological conditions may help preserving desmin intermediate filaments structure and thus protect the structural integrity of contractile apparatus of cardiomyocytes by limiting desmin aggregates formation.

The Crosstalk between FAK and Wnt Signaling Pathways in Cancer and Its Therapeutic Implication. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21239107.

Abstract
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and Wnt signaling pathways are important contributors to tumorigenesis in several cancers. While most results come from studies investigating these pathways individually, there is increasing evidence of a functional crosstalk between both signaling pathways during development and tumor progression. A number of FAK-Wnt interactions are described, suggesting an intricate, context-specific, and cell type-dependent relationship. During development for instance, FAK acts mainly upstream of Wnt signaling; and although in intestinal homeostasis and mucosal regeneration Wnt seems to function upstream of FAK signaling, FAK activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway during APC-driven intestinal tumorigenesis. In breast, lung, and pancreatic cancers, FAK is reported to modulate the Wnt signaling pathway, while in prostate cancer, FAK is downstream of Wnt. In malignant mesothelioma, FAK and Wnt show an antagonistic relationship: Inhibiting FAK signaling activates the Wnt pathway and vice versa. As the identification of effective Wnt inhibitors to translate in the clinical setting remains an outstanding challenge, further understanding of the functional interaction between Wnt and FAK could reveal new therapeutic opportunities and approaches greatly needed in clinical oncology. In this review, we summarize some of the most relevant interactions between FAK and Wnt in different cancers, address the current landscape of Wnt- and FAK-targeted therapies in different clinical trials, and discuss the rationale for targeting the FAK-Wnt crosstalk, along with the possible translational implications.

BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2020; 1867:118769.

Abstract
Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3α/β and the double-stranded RNA-dependent kinase PKR are two sentinel kinases that carry-out multiple similar yet distinct functions in both the cytosol and the nucleus. While these kinases belong to separate signal transduction cascades, they demonstrate an uncanny propensity to regulate many of the same proteins either through direct phosphorylation or by altering transcription/translation, including: c-MYC, NF-κB, p53 and TAU, as well as each another. A significant number of studies centered on the GSK3 kinases have led to the identification of the GSK3 interactome and a number of substrates, which link GSK3 activity to metabolic control, translation, RNA splicing, ribosome biogenesis, cellular division, DNA repair and stress/inflammatory signaling. Interestingly, many of these same pathways and processes are controlled by PKR, but unlike the GSK3 kinases, a clear picture of proteins interacting with PKR and a complete listing of its substrates is still missing. In this review, we take a detailed look at what is known about the PKR and GSK3 kinases, how these kinases interact to influence common cellular processes (innate immunity, alternative splicing, translation, glucose metabolism) and how aberrant activation of these kinases leads to diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), diabetes mellitus (DM) and cancer. GSK3α/β and PKR are major regulators of cellular homeostasis and the response to stress/inflammation and infection. GSK3α/β and PKR interact with and/or modify many of the same proteins and affect the expression of similar genes. A balance between AKT and PKR nuclear signaling may be responsible for regulating the activation of nuclear GSK3β. GSK3α/β- and PKR-dependent signaling influence major molecular mechanisms of the cell through similar intermediates. Aberrant activation of GSK3α/β and PKR is highly involved in cancer, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
The Wnt signaling pathway is a crucial regulator of the intestinal epithelium homeostasis and is altered in most colon cancers. While the role of aberrant canonical, β-catenin-dependent Wnt signaling has been well established in colon cancer promotion, much less is known about the role played by noncanonical, β-catenin-independent Wnt signaling in this type of cancer. This work aimed to characterize the noncanonical signal transduction pathway in colon cancer cells. To this end, we used the prototype noncanonical ligand, Wnt5a, in comparison with Wnt3a, the prototype of a canonical β-catenin activating ligand. The analysis of the expression profile of Wnt receptors in colon cancer cell lines showed a clear increase in both level expression and variety of Frizzled receptor types expressed in colon cancer cells compared with non-malignant cells. We found that Wnt5a activates a typical Wnt/Ca++ - noncanonical signaling pathway in colon malignant cells, inducing the hyperphosphorylation of Dvl1, Dvl2 and Dvl3, promoting Ca++ mobilization as a result of phospholipase C (PLC) activation via pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein, and inducing PLC-dependent cell migration. We also found that while the co-receptor Ror2 tyrosine kinase activity is not required for Ca++ mobilization-induced by Wnt5a, it is required for the inhibitory effects of Wnt5a on the β-catenin-dependent transcriptional activity. Unexpectedly, we found that although the prototype canonical Wnt3a ligand was unique in stimulating the β-catenin-dependent transcriptional activity, it also simultaneously activated PLC, promoted Ca++ mobilization, and induced Rho kinase and PLC-dependent cell migration. Our data indicate, therefore, that a Wnt ligand can activate at the same time the so-called Wnt canonical and noncanonical pathways inducing the formation of complex signaling networks to integrate both pathways in colon cancer cells.

Abstract
GSK3 has been implicated for years in the regulation of inflammation and addressed in a plethora of scientific reports using a variety of experimental (disease) models and approaches. However, the specific role of GSK3 in the inflammatory process is still not fully understood and controversially discussed. Following a detailed overview of structure, function, and various regulatory levels, this review focusses on the immunoregulatory functions of GSK3, including the current knowledge obtained from animal models. Its impact on pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokine profiles, bacterial/viral infections, and the modulation of associated pro-inflammatory transcriptional and signaling pathways is discussed. Moreover, GSK3 contributes to the resolution of inflammation on multiple levels, e.g., via the regulation of pro-resolving mediators, the clearance of apoptotic immune cells, and tissue repair processes. The influence of GSK3 on the development of different forms of stimulation tolerance is also addressed. Collectively, the role of GSK3 as a kinase balancing the initiation/perpetuation and the amelioration/resolution of inflammation is highlighted.

Abstract
The possibility that glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) could modulate α1A-adrenergic receptor (α1A-AR) function and regulation was tested employing LNCaP and HEK293 cells transfected to express the enhanced green fluorescent protein-tagged human α1A-AR. Receptor phosphorylation and internalization, intracellular free calcium, α1A-AR-GSK3 colocalization, and coimmunoprecipitation were studied. The effects of the pharmacological GSK3 inhibitor, SB-216763, and the coexpression of a dominant-negative mutant of this kinase, as well as the signaling, desensitization, and internalization of receptors with S229, S258, S352, and S381 substitutions for alanine or aspartate, were also determined. SB-216763 inhibited agonist- and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-mediated α1A-AR phosphorylation, reduced oxymetazoline-induced desensitization, and magnified that induced by PMA. Agonists and PMA increased receptor-GSK3 colocalization and coimmunoprecipitation. Expression of a dominant-negative GSK3 mutant reduced agonist- but not PMA-induced receptor internalization. α1A-AR with the GSK3 putative target sites mutated to alanine exhibited reduced phosphorylation and internalization in response to agonists and increased PMA-induced desensitization. Agonist-induced, but not PMA-induced, receptor-β arrestin intracellular colocalization was diminished in cells expressing the GSK3 putative target sites mutated to alanine. Our data indicated that GSK3 exerts a dual action on α1A-AR participating in agonist-mediated desensitization and internalization and avoiding PMA-induced desensitization.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION For some cancers bone is the preferred site for metastasis and involves a cascade involving transition of epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells and subsequent intravasation to the blood and lymph vessels, and finally hematogenous dissemination to perivascular niches of the bone marrow sinusoids. It has been shown that protein kinase C can aid metastasis to bone. Hence, pharmacological inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) activity is thought of as a potential therapeutic option in bone metastatic lesions. The objective of the current study was to investigate how PKCs exert their effect on bone cancer metastasis and to test the efficacy of pharmacological inhibition of PKC on bone metastasis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The effect of the PKC inhibitor Go6983 on epithelial and mesenchymal cell marker expression in the osteosarcoma cell line DAN was determined by immunoblot and immunofluorescence analysis. The in vivo effect of Go6983 was evaluated with a xenograft model using DAN cells. RESULTS Treatment with transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) led to loss of the epithelial cell marker and gain of mesenchymal cell markers in the osteosarcoma cell line, DAN. This transition occurred concomitantly with PKC activation. TGF-β-mediated PKC activation resulted in activation of ribosomal protein 6 (S6), but not S6K1. Pharmacological inhibition of PKC activation attenuated these effects. In a xenograft model of experimental metastasis, pharmacological inhibition of PKC activation over a period of 4 weeks reduced both tumor burden and metastasis to lungs. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that PKC potentiates tumor metastasis to the bone by potentiating translation increase and can be putatively inhibited by pharmacological inhibition.

Abstract
Objective To examine the effect of pSer9-GSK-3β on breast cancer and to determine whether the underlying metabolic and immunological mechanism is associated with ROS/eIF2B and natural killer (NK) cells. Methods We employed TWS119 to inactivate GSK-3β by phosphorylating Ser9 and explored its effect on breast cancer and NK cells. The expression of GSK-3β, natural killer group 2 member D (NKG2D) ligands, eIF2B was quantified by PCR and Western blot. We measured intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial ROS using DCFH-DA and MitoSOXTM probe, respectively, and conducted quantitative analysis of cellular respiration on 4T1 cells with mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I/III kits.
Results Our investigation revealed that TWS119 downregulated NKG2D ligands (H60a and Rae1), suppressed the cytotoxicity of NK cells, and promoted the migration of 4T1 murine breast cancer cells. Nevertheless, LY290042, which attenuates p-GSK-3β formation by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt pathway, reversed these effects. We also found that higher expression of pSer9-GSK-3β induced higher levels of ROS, and observed that abnormality of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I/III function induced the dysfunction of GSK-3β-induced electron transport chain, naturally disturbing the ROS level. In addition, the expression of NOX3 and NOX4 was significantly up-regulated, which affected the generation of ROS and associated with the metastasis of breast cancer. Furthermore, we found that the expression of pSer535-eIF2B promoted the expression of NKG2D ligands (Mult-1 and Rae1) following by expression of pSer9-GSK-3β and generation of ROS. Conclusions The PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β/ROS/eIF2B pathway could regulate NK cell activity and sensitivity of tumor cells to NK cells, which resulted in breast cancer growth and lung metastasis. Thus, GSK-3β is a promising target of anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
The relationship between molecular genetic and metabolic disorders is one of the challenges of modern oncology. In this review, we consider lipid metabolism and its changes as one of the factors of oncogenesis of glial tumors. Also, we demonstrate that the genome and the metabolome are interconnected by a large number of links, and the metabolic pathways, during their reorganization, are able to drastically affect the genetic structure of the cell and, in particular, cause its tumor transformation. Our own observations and analysis of the literature data allow us to conclude that mass spectrometry is a highly accurate current method for assessing metabolic disorders at the cellular level. The use of mass spectrometry during surgery allows the neurosurgeon to obtain real-time data on the level of specific molecular markers in the resected tissue, thereby bringing intraoperative navigation techniques to the molecular level. The generation of molecular fingerprints for each tumor significantly complements the available neuroimaging, molecular genetic, and immunohistochemical data.

Phosphorylated Protein Kinase C (Zeta/Lambda) Expression in Colorectal Adenocarcinoma and Its Correlation with Clinicopathologic Characteristics and Prognosis. J Cancer 2017; 8:3371-3377.

Abstract
Background: Protein kinase C zeta/lambda (PKCζ/λ) is a family of protein kinase enzymes that contributes to cell proliferation and regulation, which are important for cancer development. PKCζ/λ has been shown to be an important regulator of tumorigenesis in intestinal cancer. The phosphorylated form of PKCζ/λ, p-PKCζ/λ, is suggested as an active form of PKCζ/λ. However, p-PKCζ/λ expression and its clinicopathologic implication in colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRAC) are unclear. Methods: Seven whole-tissue sections of malignant polyps containing both non-neoplastic and neoplastic mucosa, 11 adenomas with low-grade dysplasia, and 173 CRACs were examined by immunohistochemistry and western blot assay for p-PKCζ/λ protein expression. The association of p-PKCζ/λ expression with clinicopathologic factors including patient survival was studied. Results: In non-neoplastic epithelia, p-PKCζ/λ showed a weak cytoplasmic immunostaining. Adenomas and CRACs demonstrated up-regulated p-PKCζ/λ detection. Cytoplasmic p-PKCζ/λ expression was higher in CRAC than in adenoma. In CRACs, p-PKCζ/λ expression was inversely correlated with pathologic TNM stage (I-II versus III-IV) and poor differentiation. Statistical correlations between low expression of p-PKCζ/λ with shortened overall survival and disease-free survival were seen (p=0.004 and p=0.034, respectively). Conclusions: P-PKCζ/λ overexpression is implicated in tumorigenesis but down-regulation was a poor prognostic factor in CRAC.

Abstract
Dishevelled (Dvl) proteins are central mediators of both canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling. It is well known that, upon Wnt stimulation, Dvl becomes phosphorylated. However, how Wnt-induced phosphorylation of Dvl is regulated and its consequences are poorly understood. Here we found that Dvl proteins are overexpressed in colon cancer cells. In addition, we found that Wnt3a treatment rapidly induces hyperphosphorylation and stabilization of Dvl2 and Dvl3. The latter can be blocked by inhibition of Protein Kinase C (PKC)α, PKCδ, and PKCζ isoforms. We also found that Wnt3a-induced phosphorylation of Dvl3 by PKCζ is required to avoid Dvl3 degradation via proteasome. This demonstrated, to our knowledge for the first time, that hyperphosphorylation of Dvl by PKCζ results in Dvl stabilization. This is clear contrast with the consequences reported to date of CK1δ/ε-mediated Dvl phosphorylation upon Wnt treatment. Mapping the interaction domain between PKCζ and Dvl3 indicated that, although the Dvl-DIX domain is required to stabilize PKCζ-phosphorylated Dvl, it is not the region phosphorylated by this kinase. Our data show that the Dvl-DEP domain, required for specific interaction with PKCζ, is the site phosphorylated by this kinase, and also probably the Dvl-C terminus. Our findings suggest a model of positive regulation of PKCζ-mediated Dvl signaling activity, to produce a strong and sustained response to Wnt3a treatment by stabilizing Dvl protein levels.

Abstract
The naïve state of pluripotency is actively being explored by a number of labs. There is some controversy in the field as to the true identity of naïve human pluripotent cells as they are not exact mirrors of the mouse. The various reports published, although in basic agreement, present discrepancies in the characterization of the various lines, which likely reflect the etiology of these lines. The primary lesson learned from these contributions is that a human naïve state reflecting the preimplantation human is likely to exist. The essential factors that will universally maintain the naïve state in human cells in vitro are not yet fully understood. These first need to be identified in order to describe the definitive characteristics of this state. Comparisons of naïve and primed human pluripotent cells have also highlighted consistencies between states and broadened our understanding of embryonic metabolism, epigenetic change required for development, embryonic DNA repair strategies and embryonic expression dynamics.

Abstract
Loss of cellular response to hormonal regulation in maintaining metabolic homeostasis is common in the process of aging. Chronic over-nutrition may render cells insensitive to such a hormonal regulation owing to overstimulation of certain signaling pathways, thus accelerating aging and causing diseases. The glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) plays a pivotal role in relaying various extracellular and intracellular regulatory signals critical to cell growth, survival, regeneration, or death. The main signaling pathway regulating GSK3 activity through serine-phosphorylation is the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK1)/Akt relay that catalyzes serine-phosphorylation and thus inactivation of GSK3. In addition, perilipin 2 (PLIN2) has recently been shown to regulate GSK3 activation through direct association with GSK3. This review summarizes current understanding on environmental and nutritional factors contributing to GSK3 regulation (or dysregulation) through the PI3K/PDK1/Akt/GSK3 axis, and highlights the newly discovered role that PLIN2 plays in regulating GSK3 activity and GSK3 downstream pathways.
