BACH1 inhibits senescence, obesity, and short lifespan by ferroptotic FGF21 secretion. Cell Rep 2024; 43:114403. [PMID: 38943639 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.114403] [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: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Ferroptosis is a type of regulated cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. A model cell system is constructed to induce ferroptosis by re-expressing the transcription factor BACH1, a potent ferroptosis inducer, in immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts (iMEFs). The transfer of the culture supernatant from ferroptotic iMEFs activates the proliferation of hepatoma cells and other fibroblasts and suppresses cellular senescence-like features. The BACH1-dependent secretion of the longevity factor FGF21 is increased in ferroptotic iMEFs. The anti-senescent effects of the culture supernatant from these iMEFs are abrogated by Fgf21 knockout. BACH1 activates the transcription of Fgf21 by promoting ferroptotic stress and increases FGF21 protein expression by suppressing its autophagic degradation through transcriptional Sqstm1 and Lamp2 repression. The BACH1-induced ferroptotic FGF21 secretion suppresses obesity in high-fat diet-fed mice and the short lifespan of progeria mice. The inhibition of these aging-related phenotypes can be physiologically significant regarding ferroptosis.

Abstract
The deubiquitinating enzyme USP14 has been established as a crucial regulator in various diseases, including tumors, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic diseases, through its ability to stabilize its substrate proteins. Our group has utilized proteomic techniques to identify new potential substrate proteins for USP14, however, the underlying signaling pathways regulated by USP14 remain largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate the key role of USP14 in both heme metabolism and tumor invasion by stabilizing the protein BACH1. The cellular oxidative stress response factor NRF2 regulates antioxidant protein expression through binding to the antioxidant response element (ARE). BACH1 can compete with NRF2 for ARE binding, leading to the inhibition of the expression of antioxidant genes, including HMOX-1. Activated NRF2 also inhibits the degradation of BACH1, promoting cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Our findings showed a positive correlation between USP14 expression and NRF2 expression in various cancer tissues from the TCGA database and normal tissues from the GTEx database. Furthermore, activated NRF2 was found to increase USP14 expression in ovarian cancer (OV) cells. The overexpression of USP14 was observed to inhibit HMOX1 expression, while USP14 knockdown had the opposite effect, suggesting a role for USP14 in regulating heme metabolism. The depletion of BACH1 or inhibition of heme oxygenase 1 (coded by HMOX-1) was also found to significantly impair USP14-dependent OV cell invasion. In conclusion, our results highlight the importance of the NRF2-USP14-BACH1 axis in regulating OV cell invasion and heme metabolism, providing evidence for its potential as a therapeutic target in related diseases.

Specific regulation of BACH1 by the hotspot mutant p53 R175H reveals a distinct gain-of-function mechanism. NATURE CANCER 2023; 4:564-581. [PMID: 36973430 PMCID: PMC10320414 DOI: 10.1038/s43018-023-00532-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023]
Abstract
Although the gain of function (GOF) of p53 mutants is well recognized, it remains unclear whether different p53 mutants share the same cofactors to induce GOFs. In a proteomic screen, we identified BACH1 as a cellular factor that recognizes the p53 DNA-binding domain depending on its mutation status. BACH1 strongly interacts with p53R175H but fails to effectively bind wild-type p53 or other hotspot mutants in vivo for functional regulation. Notably, p53R175H acts as a repressor for ferroptosis by abrogating BACH1-mediated downregulation of SLC7A11 to enhance tumor growth; conversely, p53R175H promotes BACH1-dependent tumor metastasis by upregulating expression of pro-metastatic targets. Mechanistically, p53R175H-mediated bidirectional regulation of BACH1 function is dependent on its ability to recruit the histone demethylase LSD2 to target promoters and differentially modulate transcription. These data demonstrate that BACH1 acts as a unique partner for p53R175H in executing its specific GOFs and suggest that different p53 mutants induce their GOFs through distinct mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selectively targeting leukemia stem cells (LSCs) is a promising approach in treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML), for which identification of such therapeutic targets is critical. Increasing lines of evidence indicate that FBXO22 plays a critical role in solid tumor development and therapy response. However, its potential roles in leukemogenesis remain largely unknown. METHODS We established a mixed lineage leukemia (MLL)-AF9-induced AML model with hematopoietic cell-specific FBXO22 knockout mice to elucidate the role of FBXO22 in AML progression and LSCs regulation, including self-renewal, cell cycle, apoptosis and survival analysis. Immunoprecipitation combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis, Western blotting and rescue experiments were performed to study the mechanisms underlying the oncogenic role of FBXO22. RESULTS FBXO22 was highly expressed in AML, especially in MLL-rearranged (MLLr) AML. Upon FBXO22 knockdown, human MLLr leukemia cells presented markedly increased apoptosis. Although conditional deletion of Fbxo22 in hematopoietic cells did not significantly affect the function of hematopoietic stem cells, MLL-AF9-induced leukemogenesis was dramatically abrogated upon Fbxo22 deletion, together with remarkably reduced LSCs after serial transplantations. Mechanistically, FBXO22 promoted degradation of BACH1 in MLLr AML cells, and overexpression of BACH1 suppressed MLLr AML progression. In line with this, heterozygous deletion of BACH1 significantly reversed delayed leukemogenesis in Fbxo22-deficient mice. CONCLUSIONS FBXO22 promotes MLLr AML progression by targeting BACH1 and targeting FBXO22 might be an ideal strategy to eradicate LSCs without influencing normal hematopoiesis.

Abstract
Vascular aging is a potent driver of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Vascular aging features cellular and functional changes, while its molecular mechanisms and the cell heterogeneity are poorly understood. This study aims to 1) explore the cellular and molecular properties of aged cardiac vasculature in monkey and mouse and 2) demonstrate the role of transcription factor BACH1 in the regulation of endothelial cell (EC) senescence and its mechanisms. Here we analyzed published single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from monkey coronary arteries and aortic arches and mouse hearts. We revealed that the gene expression of YAP1, insulin receptor, and VEGF receptor 2 was downregulated in both aged ECs of coronary arteries’ of monkey and aged cardiac capillary ECs of mouse, and proliferation-related cardiac capillary ECs were significantly decreased in aged mouse. Increased interaction of ECs and immunocytes was observed in aged vasculature of both monkey and mouse. Gene regulatory network analysis identified BACH1 as a master regulator of aging-related genes in both coronary and aorta ECs of monkey and cardiac ECs of mouse. The expression of BACH1 was upregulated in aged cardiac ECs and aortas of mouse. BACH1 aggravated endothelial cell senescence under oxidative stress. Mechanistically, BACH1 occupied at regions of open chromatin and bound to CDKN1A (encoding for P21) gene enhancers, activating its transcription in senescent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Thus, these findings demonstrate that BACH1 plays an important role in endothelial cell senescence and vascular aging.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a component of many diseases, including atherosclerosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Alzheimer disease and cancer. Although numerous small molecules evaluated as antioxidants have exhibited therapeutic potential in preclinical studies, clinical trial results have been disappointing. A greater understanding of the mechanisms through which antioxidants act and where and when they are effective may provide a rational approach that leads to greater pharmacological success. Here, we review the relationships between oxidative stress, redox signalling and disease, the mechanisms through which oxidative stress can contribute to pathology, how antioxidant defences work, what limits their effectiveness and how antioxidant defences can be increased through physiological signalling, dietary components and potential pharmaceutical intervention.

Abstract
It has been reported that Bach1-deficient mice show reduced tissue injuries in diverse disease models due to increased expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)that possesses an antioxidant function. In contrast, we found that Bach1 deficiency in mice exacerbated skeletal muscle injury induced by cardiotoxin. Inhibition of Bach1 expression in C2C12 myoblast cells using RNA interference resulted in reduced proliferation, myotube formation, and myogenin expression compared with control cells. While the expression of HO-1 was increased by Bach1 silencing in C2C12 cells, the reduced myotube formation was not rescued by HO-1 inhibition. Up-regulations of Smad2, Smad3 and FoxO1, known inhibitors of muscle cell differentiation, were observed in Bach1-deficient mice and Bach1-silenced C2C12 cells. Therefore, Bach1 may promote regeneration of muscle by increasing proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts.

Role of PML SUMOylation in arsenic trioxide-induced fibrosis in HSCs. Life Sci 2020; 251:117607. [PMID: 32240679 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2020.117607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2019] [Revised: 03/15/2020] [Accepted: 03/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Arsenic trioxide (ATO) can bind directly to the human promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein, leading to modification of PML by SUMOs. UBC9 is the only known E2-conjugating enzyme involved in SUMOylation. PML degradation via RNF4, an E3 ubiquitin ligases family member. PML is key organizer of nuclear bodies (NBs) that regulate many biological processes such as senescence, and DNA damage. ATO can activate the TGFβ/Smad signaling pathway, causing liver fibrosis. However, the roles of PML Sumoylation in ATO-induced liver fibrosis remain unclear. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the role of PML Sumoylation in the ATO-induced HSCs activation and to improve the mechanism of ATO-induced liver fibrosis. METHODS Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) were treated with 2 μmol/L ATO. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 analysis. Immunoblot analysis and real-time quantitative PCR were used to detect the expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, TGF-β1, p-Smad2/3, α-SMA, Collagen I and PML SUMOylation after silencing PML, UBC9, and RNF4, respectively. The formation of PML-NBs was observed by immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS 2 and 5 μmol/L ATO intervention increased HSCs cell viability. ATO was able to significantly trigger PML SUMOylation and the formation of PML-NBs. Inhibition of SUMOylated PML by silencing UBC9, subsequently preventing the downregulation of HSCs activation indicators induced by ATO (P < 0.05). Conversely, enhancing SUMOylated PML accumulation by silencing RNF4, activating TGFβ/Smad signaling pathway, eventually promoting the induction of liver fibrosis. CONCLUSION These results indicated that PML SUMOylation plays a critical role in the development of liver fibrosis induced by ATO.

Cannabidiol induces antioxidant pathways in keratinocytes by targeting BACH1. Redox Biol 2020; 28:101321. [PMID: 31518892 PMCID: PMC6742916 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2019.101321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 98] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2019] [Revised: 08/23/2019] [Accepted: 09/05/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a major non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid that attracted a great attention for its therapeutic potential against different pathologies including skin diseases. However, although the efficacy in preclinical models and the clinical benefits of CBD in humans have been extensively demonstrated, the molecular mechanism(s) and targets responsible for these effects are as yet unknown. Herein we characterized at the molecular level the effects of CBD on primary human keratinocytes using a combination of RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectrometry (SWATH-MS). Functional analysis revealed that CBD regulated pathways involved in keratinocyte differentiation, skin development and epidermal cell differentiation among other processes. In addition, CBD induced the expression of several NRF2 target genes, with heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) being the gene and the protein most upregulated by CBD. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing, RNA interference and biochemical studies demonstrated that the induction of HMOX1 mediated by CBD, involved nuclear export and proteasomal degradation of the transcriptional repressor BACH1. Notably, we showed that the effect of BACH1 on HMOX1 expression in keratinocytes is independent of NRF2. In vivo studies showed that topical CBD increased the levels of HMOX1 and of the proliferation and wound-repair associated keratins 16 and 17 in the skin of mice. Altogether, our study identifies BACH1 as a molecular target for CBD in keratinocytes and sets the basis for the use of topical CBD for the treatment of different skin diseases including atopic dermatitis and keratin disorders.

Abstract
Bohring-Opitz syndrome (BOS) has been described as a clinically recognizable genetic syndrome since 1999. Clinical diagnostic criteria were established in 2011 and include microcephaly, trigonocephaly, distinctive craniofacial dysmorphic features, facial nevus flammeus, failure to thrive, and severe developmental delays. The same year, different de novo heterozygous nonsense mutations in the ASXL1 were found in affected individuals. Since then, several cases have been reported confirming the association between this chromatin remodeling gene and BOS. Most affected individuals die in early childhood because of unexplained bradycardia, obstructive apnea, or pulmonary infections. Those that survive usually cannot walk independently and are nonverbal. Some have had success using walkers and braces in late childhood. While few are able to speak, many have been able to express basic needs using communication devices as well as gestures with associated basic vocalizations. In this article, we present a mild case of BOS with a de novo pathogenic mutation c.1720-2A>G (p.I574VfsX22) in ASXL1 detected on whole-exome sequencing and confirmed by functional analysis of the messenger RNA splicing pattern on the patient's fibroblasts. She has typical dysmorphic features and is able to run and walk independently as well as to communicate with basic sign language.

Abstract
The infiltration and subsequent in situ subtype specification of monocytes to effector/inflammatory and repair macrophages is indispensable for tissue repair upon acute sterile injury. However, the chromatin-level mediators and regulatory events controlling this highly dynamic macrophage phenotype switch are not known. In this study, we used a murine acute muscle injury model to assess global chromatin accessibility and gene expression dynamics in infiltrating macrophages during sterile physiological inflammation and tissue regeneration. We identified a heme-binding transcriptional repressor, BACH1, as a novel regulator of this process. Bach1 knockout mice displayed impaired muscle regeneration, altered dynamics of the macrophage phenotype transition, and transcriptional deregulation of key inflammatory and repair-related genes. We also found that BACH1 directly binds to and regulates distal regulatory elements of these genes, suggesting a novel role for BACH1 in controlling a broad spectrum of the repair response genes in macrophages upon injury. Inactivation of heme oxygenase-1 (Hmox1), one of the most stringently deregulated genes in the Bach1 knockout in macrophages, impairs muscle regeneration by changing the dynamics of the macrophage phenotype switch. Collectively, our data suggest the existence of a heme-BACH1--HMOX1 regulatory axis, that controls the phenotype and function of the infiltrating myeloid cells upon tissue damage, shaping the overall tissue repair kinetics.

Nrf2: Molecular and epigenetic regulation during aging. Ageing Res Rev 2018; 47:31-40.

Abstract
Increase in life-span is commonly related with age-related diseases and with gradual loss of genomic, proteomic and metabolic integrity. Nrf2 (Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-p45 derived factor 2) controls the expression of genes whose products include antioxidant proteins, detoxifying enzymes, drug transporters and numerous cytoprotective proteins. Several experimental approaches have evaluated the potential regulation of the transcription factor Nrf2 to enhance the expression of genes that contend against accumulative oxidative stress and promote healthy aging. Negative regulators of Nrf2 that act preventing it´s binding to DNA-responsive elements, have been identified in young and adult animal models. However, it is not clearly established if Nrf2 decreased activity in several models of aging results from disruption of that regulation. In this review, we present a compilation of evidences showing that changes in the levels or activity of Keap1 (Kelch-like ECH associated protein 1), GSK-3β (glycogen synthase kinase-3), Bach1, p53, Hrd1 (E3 ubiquitin ligase) and miRNAs might impact on Nrf2 activity during elderly. We conclude that understanding Nrf2 regulatory mechanisms is essential to develop a rational strategy to prevent the loss of cellular protection response during aging.

Abstract
The transcription factor BTB and CNC homology 1 (Bach1) is widely expressed in most mammalian tissues and functions primarily as a transcriptional suppressor by heterodimerizing with small Maf proteins and binding to Maf recognition elements in the promoters of targeted genes. It has a key regulatory role in the production of reactive oxygen species, cell cycle, heme homeostasis, hematopoiesis, and immunity and has been shown to suppress ischemic angiogenesis and promote breast cancer metastasis. This review summarizes how Bach1 controls these and other cellular and physiological and pathological processes. Bach1 expression and function differ between different cell types. Thus, therapies designed to manipulate Bach1 expression will need to be tightly controlled and tailored for each specific disease state or cell type.

Abstract
Elucidation of how the differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) is reconfigured in response to the environment is critical for understanding the biology and disorder of hematopoiesis. Here we found that the transcription factors (TFs) Bach2 and Bach1 promoted erythropoiesis by regulating heme metabolism in committed erythroid cells to sustain erythroblast maturation and by reinforcing erythroid commitment at the erythro-myeloid bifurcation step. Bach TFs repressed expression of the gene encoding the transcription factor C/EBPβ, as well as that of its target genes encoding molecules important for myelopoiesis and inflammation; they achieved the latter by binding to their regulatory regions also bound by C/EBPβ. Lipopolysaccharide diminished the expression of Bach TFs in progenitor cells and promoted myeloid differentiation. Overexpression of Bach2 in HSPCs promoted erythroid development and inhibited myelopoiesis. Knockdown of BACH1 or BACH2 in human CD34+ HSPCs impaired erythroid differentiation in vitro. Thus, Bach TFs accelerate erythroid commitment by suppressing the myeloid program at steady state. Anemia of inflammation and myelodysplastic syndrome might involve reduced activity of Bach TFs.

Abstract
The transcription repressor BACH1 performs mutually independent dual roles in transcription regulation and chromosome alignment during mitosis by supporting polar ejection force of mitotic spindle. We now found that the mitotic spindles became oblique relative to the adhesion surface following endogenous BACH1 depletion in HeLa cells. This spindle orientation rearrangement was rescued by re-expression of BACH1 depending on its interactions with HMMR and CRM1, both of which are required for the positioning of mitotic spindle, but independently of its DNA-binding activity. A mass spectrometry analysis of BACH1 complexes in interphase and M phase revealed that BACH1 lost during mitosis interactions with proteins involved in chromatin and gene expression but retained interactions with HMMR and its known partners including CHICA. By analyzing BACH1 modification using stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture, mitosis-specific phosphorylations of BACH1 were observed, and mutations of these residues abolished the activity of BACH1 to restore mitotic spindle orientation in knockdown cells and to interact with HMMR. Detailed histological analysis of Bach1-deficient mice revealed lengthening of the epithelial fold structures of the intestine. These observations suggest that BACH1 performs stabilization of mitotic spindle orientation together with HMMR and CRM1 in mitosis, and that the cell cycle-specific phosphorylation switches the transcriptional and mitotic functions of BACH1.

Abstract
BTB and CNC homology (BACH) proteins are transcriptional repressors of the basic region leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor family. Recent studies indicate widespread roles of BACH proteins in controlling the development and function of the innate and adaptive immune systems, including the differentiation of effector and memory cells of the B and T cell lineages, CD4+ regulatory T cells and macrophages. Here, we emphasize similarities at a molecular level in the cell-type-specific activities of BACH factors, proposing that competitive interactions of BACH proteins with transcriptional activators of the bZIP family form a common mechanistic theme underlying their diverse actions. The findings contribute to a general understanding of how transcriptional repressors shape lineage commitment and cell-type-specific functions through repression of alternative lineage programmes.

Abstract
Iron plays the central role in oxygen transport by erythrocytes as a constituent of heme and hemoglobin. The importance of iron and heme is also to be found in their regulatory roles during erythroblast maturation. The transcription factor Bach1 may be involved in their regulatory roles since it is deactivated by direct binding of heme. To address whether Bach1 is involved in the responses of erythroblasts to iron status, low iron conditions that induced severe iron deficiency in mice were established. Under iron deficiency, extensive gene expression changes and mitophagy disorder were induced during maturation of erythroblasts. Bach1−/− mice showed more severe iron deficiency anemia in the developmental phase of mice and a retarded recovery once iron was replenished when compared with wild-type mice. In the absence of Bach1, the expression of globin genes and Hmox1 (encoding heme oxygenase-1) was de-repressed in erythroblasts under iron deficiency, suggesting that Bach1 represses these genes in erythroblasts under iron deficiency to balance the levels of heme and globin. Moreover, an increase in genome-wide DNA methylation was observed in erythroblasts of Bach1−/− mice under iron deficiency. These findings reveal the principle role of iron as a regulator of gene expression in erythroblast maturation and suggest that the iron-heme-Bach1 axis is important for a proper adaptation of erythroblast to iron deficiency to avoid toxic aggregates of non-heme globin.

Abstract
Introduction BTB and CNC homology 1 (Bach1) is a transcriptional repressor of Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), which is cytoprotective through its antioxidant effects. The objective of this study was to define the role of Bach1 in cartilage homeostasis and osteoarthritis (OA) development using in vitro models and Bach1-/- mice. Methods HO-1 expression in Bach1-/- mice was analyzed by real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. Knee joints from Bach1-/- and wild-type mice with age-related OA and surgically-induced OA were evaluated by OA scoring systems. Levels of autophagy proteins and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) were determined by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between HO-1 and the protective effects for OA was determined in chondrocytes treated with small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting HO-1 gene. Results HO-1 expression decreased with aging in articular cartilages and menisci of mouse knees. Bach1-/- mice showed reduced severity of age-related OA and surgically-induced OA compared with wild-type mice. Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), autophagy marker, and SOD2 were increased in articular cartilage of Bach1-/- mice compared with wild-type mice. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) induced a significant increase in Adamts-5 in wild-type chondrocytes but not in Bach1-/- chondrocytes. The expression of SOD2 and the suppression of apoptosis in Bach1-/- chondrocytes were mediated by HO-1. Conclusions Bach1 deficiency reduces the severity of OA-like changes. This may be due to maintenance of cartilage homeostasis and joint health by antioxidant effects through HO-1 and downregulation of extracellular matrix degrading enzymes. These results suggest that inactivation of Bach1 is a novel target and signaling pathway in OA prevention.
