[PMID: 38452983 DOI: 10.1016/j.trim.2024.102018] [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: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (RIRI) is an inevitable consequence of kidney transplantation and has a negative impact on both short-term and long-term graft survival. The identification of key markers in RIRI to improve the prognosis of patients would be highly advantageous. METHODS Gene expression profile data of GSE27274 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed using the Limma package. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment of DEGs were performed. Support vector machine-recursive feature elimination and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression modeling were both performed to identify potential biomarkers. The GSE148420 dataset, quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR, and western blotting results of kidney tissue samples were used to validate the bioinformatic analysis. Lastly, exploring differences between different groups through gene set enrichment analysis and using DsigDB database to identify potential therapeutic drugs targeting hub genes. RESULTS A total of 160 upregulated and 180 downregulated DEGs were identified. Functional enrichment analysis identified significant enrichment in processes involving peroxisomes. As a subunit of Polycomb Repressive Complex 1(PRC1), chromobox 6(Cbx6) was identified as a potential biomarker with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.875 (95% confidence interval 0.624-1.000) in the validation cohort, and it was highly expressed in the RIRI group (p < 0.05). In the high expression group Cbx6 was more enriched in the toll-like receptor signaling pathway. We predicted 15 potential drugs targeting hub genes of RIRI. CONCLUSIONS We identified Cbx6 as a potential biomarker for RIRI and 15 potential drugs for the treatment of RIRI, which might shed a light on the treatment of RIRI.

Abstract
Ferroptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) are common events in the process of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). The suppression of chromobox7 (CBX7) has been reported to protect against ischemia/reperfusion injury, This research is purposed to expose the impacts and mechanism of CBX7 in myocardial IRI. CBX7 expression was detected using RT-qPCR and western blotting analysis. CCK-8 assay detected cell viability. Inflammatory response and oxidative stress were detected by ELISA, DCFH-DA probe and related assay kits. Flow cytometry analysis and caspase3 activity assay were used to detect cell apoptosis. C11-BODIPY 581/591 staining and ferro-orange staining were used to detect lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Fe2+ level, respectively. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of proteins associated with apoptosis, ferroptosis and ERS. In the hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model of rat cardiomyocytes H9c2, CBX7 was highly expressed. CBX7 interference significantly protected against inflammatory response, oxidative stress, apoptosis, ferroptosis and ERS induced by H/R in H9c2 cells. Moreover, after the pretreatment with ferroptosis activator erastin or ERS agonist Tunicamycin (TM), the protective effects of CBX7 knockdown on the inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis in H/R-induced H9c2 cells was partially abolished. To summarize, CBX7 down-regulation may exert anti-ferroptosis and anti-ERS activities to alleviate H/R-stimulated myocardial injury.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) results from the rapid deterioration of renal function, which is mainly treated by transplantation and dialysis, and has a high mortality rate. Inflammation induced by excess reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS) plays a crucial role in AKI. Although small molecule antioxidants have been utilized to alleviate AKI, low bioavailability and side-effect of these drugs tremendously limit their clinical use. Hence, we successfully construct ultra-small (2-4 nm) rhodium nanoparticles modified with l-serine (denoted as Rh-Ser). Our results show that Rh-Ser with multiple enzyme-mimicking activities, allows remove various RONS to protect damaged kidney cells. Additionally, the ultrasmall size of Rh-Ser is conducive to enrichment in the renal tubules, and the modification of l-serine enables Rh-Ser to bind to kidney injury molecule-1, which is highly expressed on the surface of damaged renal cells, thereby targeting the damaged kidney and increasing the retention time. Moreover, Rh-Ser allows the production of oxygen at the inflammatory site, thus further improving hypoxia and inhibiting pro-inflammatory macrophages to relieve inflammation, and increasing the survival rate of AKI mice from 0 to 80%, which exhibits a better therapeutic effect than that of small molecule drug. Photoacoustic and fluorescence imaging can effectively monitor and evaluate the enrichment and therapeutic effect of Rh-Ser. Our study provides a promising strategy for the targeted treatment of AKI via RONS scavenging and inflammatory regulation.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a new way of cell death which is reported to participate in the pathology of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury, but it's mechanism remains unclear. The present investigation is to study the emerging role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) regulator of reprogramming (ROR) in cardiomyocyte ferroptosis after hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) administration. RT-qPCR and/or Western blot methods were performed to examine the gene/or protein levels, and CCK-8, ELISA, and DCFH-DA staining determined the cellular viability and ferroptosis. Dual-luciferase and RNA immunoprecipitation were applied to verify molecular interaction. LncRNA ROR and miR-769-5p were overexpressed and reduced in blood samples from MI patients and H/R-treated AC16 cells, respectively. Mechanistically, lncROR sponged to miR-769-5p, thus upregulating CBX7 expression. Functional experiments presented that lncRNA ROR silence mitigated H/R-stimulated inflammatory damage, oxidative stress, and ferroptosis in AC16 cells, whereas these roles could be reversed by co-downregulation of miR-769-5p or co-overexpression of CBX7. These data uncovered that lncRNA ROR prevented against H/R-induced cardiomyocyte ferroptosis by modulating miR-769-5p/CBX7 signaling, emphasizing the therapeutic value of lncRNA ROR in MI/R injury.

Abstract
X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) is a unique basic-region leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor. Over recent years, the powerful biological functions of XBP1 in oxidative stress have been gradually revealed. When the redox balance remains undisturbed, oxidative stress plays a role in physiological adaptations and signal transduction. However, during the aging process, increased cellular senescence and reduced levels of endogenous antioxidants cause an oxidative imbalance in the cardiorenal system. Recent studies from our laboratory and others have indicated that these age-related cardiorenal diseases caused by oxidative stress are guided and controlled by a versatile network composed of diversified XBP1 pathways. In this review, we describe the mechanisms that link XBP1 and oxidative stress in a range of cardiorenal disorders, including mitochondrial instability, inflammation, and alterations in neurohumoral drive. Furthermore, we propose that differing degrees of XBP1 activation may cause beneficial or harmful effects in the cardiorenal system. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of how XBP1 exerts influence on the aging cardiorenal system by regulating oxidative stress will enhance our ability to provide new directions and strategies for cardiovascular and renal safety outcomes.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury commonly occurs during liver surgery. Exosomes from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs-exo) induce a hepatoprotective effect during hepatic I/R injury. This study aimed to investigate the possible mechanism by which ADSCs-exo attenuates hepatic I/R injury in rats. Rats were randomly divided into four groups: Sham, I30R + PH, ADSCs, and ADSCs-exo groups. Liver tissues were collected immediately after 24 h of reperfusion for further analyses. The content of inflammatory factors in liver tissue was detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The pathological changes in liver tissue were analyzed using HE staining. Transmission electron microscopy was used to visualize the ultrastructural changes of hepatocytes. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related genes and proteins. Liver histomorphology and hepatocyte ultrastructure changes improved after ADSCs-exo treatment. Moreover, ADSCs-exo treatment significantly downregulated tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and IL-6 levels while upregulating IL-10 levels. Western blot analysis suggested that the protein expressions of GRP78, p-PERK, p-eIF2α, p-IRE1α, XBP1s, ATF-6, ATF-4, CHOP, p-JNK, cleaved-Caspase-3, cleaved Caspase-9, and cleaved Caspase-12 significantly decreased after ADSCs-exo treatment. RT-qPCR results demonstrated that mRNA expression of GRP78, IRE1α, XBP1, ATF-6, ATF-4, CHOP, JNK, Caspase-3, Caspase-9, and Caspase-12 markedly reduced after ADSCs-exo treatment. In conclusion, ADSCs-exo protects against hepatic I/R injury after hepatectomy by inhibiting ERS and inflammation. Therefore, ADSCs-exo can be considered as a viable option for the treatment of hepatic I/R injury.

Abstract
All cell types must maintain homeostasis under periods of stress. To prevent the catastrophic effects of stress, all cell types also respond to stress by inducing protective pathways. Within the cell, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is exquisitely stress-sensitive, primarily because this organelle folds, posttranslationally processes, and sorts one-third of the proteome. In the 1990s, a specialized ER stress response pathway was discovered, the unfolded protein response (UPR), which specifically protects the ER from damaged proteins and toxic chemicals. Not surprisingly, UPR-dependent responses are essential to maintain the function and viability of cells continuously exposed to stress, such as those in the kidney, which have high metabolic demands, produce myriad protein assemblies, continuously filter toxins, and synthesize ammonia. In this mini-review, we highlight recent articles that link ER stress and the UPR with acute kidney injury (AKI), a disease that arises in ∼10% of all hospitalized individuals and nearly half of all people admitted to intensive care units. We conclude with a discussion of prospects for treating AKI with emerging drugs that improve ER function.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) leading to allograft rejection in solid organ transplant recipients is a devastating event that compromises graft and patient survival. As our clinical knowledge regarding its definition and presentation has significantly improved over the last years, adequate biomarkers translating to important therapeutic intervention remains a challenge. This review will summarize recent findings in this area. RECENT FINDINGS In the past 18 months, our understanding of organ transplantation IRI has improved. IRI involves a positive amplification feedback loop encompassing damaged cells at the graft site, the activity of redox-sensitive damage-associated molecular patterns, and local sequestration of recipient-derived monocytes, lymphocytes and polymorphonuclear leukocytes, like neutrophils, to sustain the immunological cascade and to enhance the destruction of the foreign tissue. Recent studies have identified critical components leading to IRI, including the oxidation state of high mobility group box 1, a classic danger signal, its role in the Toll-like receptor 4-interleukin (IL)-23-IL-17A signaling axis, and the role of neutrophils and CD321, a marker for transmigration of circulating leukocytes into the inflamed tissue. In addition, recent findings imply that the protective functions mediated by autophagy activation counterbalance the detrimental nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 inflammasome pathway. Finally, clinical studies reveal the posttransplant variables associated with early allograft dysfunction and IRI. SUMMARY The future challenge will be understanding how crosstalk at the molecular and cellular levels integrate prospectively to predict which peri-transplant signals are essential for long-term clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background: Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening disease. Chromatin regulators (CRs) are indispensable epigenetic regulators. We aimed to identify differentially expressed chromatin regulators (DECRs) for AD diagnosis. Methods: We downloaded the GSE52093 and GSE190635 datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Following the merging and processing of datasets, bioinformatics analysis was applied to select candidate DECRs for AD diagnosis: CRs exertion; DECR identification using the “Limma” package; analyses of enrichment of function and signaling pathways; construction of protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks; application of machine-learning algorithms; evaluation of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. GSE98770 served as the validation dataset to filter DECRs. Moreover, we collected peripheral-blood samples to further validate expression of DECRs by real-time reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Finally, a nomogram was built for clinical use. Results: A total of 841 CRs were extracted from the merged dataset. Analyses of functional enrichment of 23 DECRs identified using Limma showed that DECRs were enriched mainly in epigenetic-regulation processes. From the PPI network, 17 DECRs were selected as node DECRs. After machine-learning calculations, eight DECRs were chosen from the intersection of 13 DECRs identified using support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) and the top-10 DECRs selected using random forest. DECR expression between the control group and AD group were considerably different. Moreover, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of each DECR was >0.75, and four DECRs (tumor protein 53 (TP53), chromobox protein homolog 7 (CBX7), Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5)) were selected as candidate biomarkers after validation using the external dataset and clinical samples. Furthermore, a nomogram with robust diagnostic value was established (AUC = 0.960). Conclusion: TP53, CBX7, JAK2, and CDK5 might serve as diagnostic DECRs for AD diagnosis. These DECRs were enriched predominantly in regulating epigenetic processes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the role of peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase 1 (Pin1) on renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and underlying mechanism. METHODS By establishing the in vitro and in vivo models of renal I/R, the role of Pin1 was explored by using molecular assays. RESULTS In renal I/R, endogenous Pin1 level was up-regulated in I/R-impaired kidney. Suppression of Pin1 with juglone afforded protection against I/R-mediated kidney dysfunction, and reduced I/R-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in vivo. Consistent with the in vivo results, repression of Pin1 with juglone or gene knockdown with si-Pin1 conferred cytoprotection and restricted hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-driven ER stress in HK-2 cells. Simultaneously, further study uncovered that Nrf-2/HO-1 signals was the association between Pin1 and ER stress in response to renal I/R. In addition, Nrf-2/HO-1 signal pathway was inactivated after kidney exposed to I/R, as indicated by the down-regulation of Nrf-2/HO-1 levels. Furthermore, inhibition of Pin1 remarkably rescued the inactivation ofNrf-2/HO-1. CONCLUSIONS Pin1 modulated I/R-mediated kidney injury in ER stress manner dependent on Nrf2-HO-1 pathway in I/R injury.

Identification of inflammatory response and alternative splicing in acute kidney injury and experimental verification of the involvement of RNA‑binding protein RBFOX1 in this disease.

Abstract
An increasing number of inflammatory responses and alternative splicing (AS) have been recently reported to be associated with various kidney diseases. The effect of inflammatory response on acute kidney injury (AKI) has not been fully clarified. In the present study, a mouse model of AKI induced by cisplatin and ischemia-reperfusion (IR) was established and genome-wide profiling analysis and identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in kidney tissue was conducted by Gene Ontology (GO) functional analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis and RT-qPCR. The results revealed that common DEGs in AKI induced by cisplatin and IR were enriched in the inflammatory response pathway, including hub genes CSF-1, CXCL1, CXCL10, IL-1β, IL-34, IL-6 and TLR2. AS in AKI was initially reported. Cisplatin-induced AS was enriched in the phosphorylation pathway, involving regulated AS genes CSNK1A1, PAK2, CRK, ADK and IKBKB. IR-induced AS was enriched in apoptosis and proliferation pathways, including DEGs ZDHHC16, BCL2L1 and FGF1 regulated by AS. The ability of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to regulate AS was coordinated with the function of context-dependent genetic mechanisms. A total of 49 common differentially expressed RBP genes were screened. RNA binding fox-1 homolog 1 (RBFOX1) was revealed to be the top downregulated gene. The relative levels of RBFOX1 in the nuclei of mouse renal tubular epithelial cells in mRNA and proteins were downregulated by cisplatin and IR. Moreover, the biological functions of RBFOX1 were investigated in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells). Results of in vitro experiments revealed that exogenous RBFOX1 inhibited inflammation and oxidative stress to reduce hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced apoptosis of HK-2 cells. This phenomenon may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB and the activation of the NRF2/HO-1 signaling pathway. In conclusion, the inflammatory cytokines, AS and RBPs in AKI were analyzed in the present study via whole transcriptome sequencing. It was revealed that the RBP gene RBFOX1 was involved in the pathogenesis of AKI. Thus, the present study provided novel insights into the mechanism of AKI pathogenesis.

Effect of conditioned medium from adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells on endoplasmic reticulum stress and lipid metabolism after hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury and hepatectomy in swine. Life Sci 2022; 289:120212. [PMID: 34896163 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.120212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (HIRI) is associated with liver failure after liver transplantation and hepatectomy. Thus, this study aims to explore the effect of conditioned medium from adipose derived stem cells (ADSC-CM) on endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and lipid metabolism after HIRI combined with hepatectomy in miniature pigs. MAIN METHODS A model of HIRI combined with hepatectomy in miniature pigs was established. The expression of ERS-related proteins and lipid metabolism related genes, as well as triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1) level were measured in liver tissues. KEY FINDINGS Both ADSCs and ADSC-CM could improve the damage in the ultrastructure of hepatocytes. ADSC-CM significantly decreased the protein expression of GRP78, ATF6, XBP1, p-eIF2α, ATF4, p-JNK and CHOP. Oil red O staining revealed that the degree of hepatocyte steatosis was also significantly reduced after treatment with ADSC-CM. In addition, ADSC-CM remarkably decreased TG, TC, HDL and ACC1 level in liver tissues, while enhanced VLDL content. Finally, SREBP1, SCAP, FASN, ACC1, HMGCR and HMGCS1 mRNA expression was also markedly downregulated in liver tissues. SIGNIFICANCE Injection of ADSC-CM into the hepatic parenchymal could represent a novel cell-free therapeutic approach to improve HIRI combined with hepatectomy injury. The inhibition of ERS and the improvement of lipid metabolism in the hepatocytes might be a potential mechanism used by ADSC-CM to prevent liver injury from HIRI combined with hepatectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of chromobox 7 (CBX7)-mediated nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling pathway in the cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. METHODS The experimental wild-type (WT) and CBX7-/- mice were used to establish cerebral I/R models using the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) surgery to determine CBX7 levels at different time points after MCAO injury. For all mice, neurological behavior, infarct size, water content, and oxidative stress-related indicators were determined, and transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL)) staining method was employed to observe cell apoptosis, while Western blot to measure the expression of CBX7 and Nrf/HO-1 pathway-related proteins. RESULTS At 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 3 days, and 7 days after mice with MCAO, CBX7 expression was gradually up-regulated and the peak level was reached at 24 h. Mice in the WT + MCAO group had increased infarct size, with significant increases in the modified neurological severity scores and water content in the brain, as well as the quantity of TUNEL-positive cells. For the oxidative stress-indicators, an increase was seen in the content of MDA (malondial dehyde), but the activity of SOD (superoxide dismutase) and content of GSH-PX (glutathione peroxidase) and CAT (catalase) were decreased; meanwhile, the protein expression of CBX7, HO-1, and nuclear Nrf2 was up-regulated, while the cytoplasmic Nrf2 was down-regulated. Moreover, CBX7 knockout attenuated I/R injury in mice. CONCLUSION Knockout of CBX7 may protect mice from cerebral I/R injury by reducing cell apoptosis and oxidative stress, possibly via activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) hosts linear polypeptides and fosters natural folding of proteins through ER-residing chaperones and enzymes. Failure of the ER to align and compose proper protein architecture leads to accumulation of misfolded/unfolded proteins in the ER lumen, which disturbs ER homeostasis to provoke ER stress. Presence of ER stress initiates the cytoprotective unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore ER homeostasis or instigates a rather maladaptive UPR to promote cell death. Although a wide array of cellular processes such as persistent autophagy, dysregulated mitophagy, and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines may contribute to the onset and progression of cardiometabolic diseases, it is well perceived that ER stress also evokes the onset and development of cardiometabolic diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes mellitus, obesity, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Meanwhile, these pathological conditions further aggravate ER stress, creating a rather vicious cycle. Here in this review, we aimed at summarizing and updating the available information on ER stress in CVDs, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and CKD, hoping to offer novel insights for the management of these cardiometabolic comorbidities through regulation of ER stress.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays an important role in neuronal injuries after cardiac arrest. Increased production of carbon monoxide (CO) by the enzyme hemeoxygenase (HO) in the brain is induced by the oxidative stress. HO is present in the CNS in two isoforms, namely the inducible HO-1 and the constitutive HO-2. Elevated levels of serum HO-1 occurs in cardiac arrest patients and upregulation of HO-1 in cardiac arrest is seen in the neurons. However, the role of HO-2 in cardiac arrest is not well known. In this review involvement of HO-1 and HO-2 enzymes in the porcine brain following cardiac arrest and resuscitation is discussed based on our own observations. In addition, neuroprotective role of methylene blue- an antioxidant dye on alterations in HO under in cardiac arrest is also presented. The biochemical findings of HO-1 and HO-2 enzymes using ELISA were further confirmed by immunocytochemical approach to localize selective regional alterations in cardiac arrest. Our observations are the first to show that cardiac arrest followed by successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation results in significant alteration in cerebral concentrations of HO-1 and HO-2 levels indicating a prominent role of CO in brain pathology and methylene blue during CPR followed by induced hypothermia leading to superior neuroprotection after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), not reported earlier.
