[PMID: 39265509 PMCID: PMC11416540 DOI: 10.1016/j.tranon.2024.102118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 09/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) poses a formidable challenge in oncology due to its limited treatment options and poor long-term survival rates. Our previous work identified MG53, a member of the tripartite motif family protein (TRIM72), as a key player in tissue repair with potential applications in regenerative medicine. Despite the focus on MG53's cytosolic functions, its nuclear role in suppressing pancreatic cancer remains unknown. Through orthotopic and subcutaneous transplantation studies in mice, we observed enhanced tumor growth in MG53-deficient mice compared to wild-type counterparts. The overexpression of KIF11, a motor protein crucial for cell mitosis regulation, has been linked to the aggressive proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells. Confocal imaging confirmed MG53's presence in the nucleus of human pancreatic cancer cells, while functional assays demonstrated its impact on KIF11 expression and subsequent cell proliferation. Mechanistically, we revealed MG53's transcriptional control over KIF11, leading to cell cycle arrest. Our findings position MG53 as a promising tumor suppressor in PDAC, offering a novel avenue for therapeutic intervention by regulating KIF11 expression.

MG53 binding to CAV3 facilitates activation of eNOS/NO signaling pathway to enhance the therapeutic benefits of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in diabetic wound healing. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 136:112410. [PMID: 38843641 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112410] [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: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/17/2024]
Abstract
Impaired wound healing in diabetes results from a complex interplay of factors that disrupt epithelialization and wound closure. MG53, a tripartite motif (TRIM) family protein, plays a key role in repairing cell membrane damage and facilitating tissue regeneration. In this study, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were transduced with lentiviral vectors overexpressing MG53 to investigate their efficacy in diabetic wound healing. Using a db/db mouse wound model, we observed that BMSCs-MG53 significantly enhanced diabetic wound healing. This improvement was associated with marked increase in re-epithelialization and vascularization. BMSCs-MG53 promoted recruitment and survival of BMSCs, as evidenced by an increase in MG53/Ki67-positive BMSCs and their improved response to scratch wounding. The combination therapy also promoted angiogenesis in diabetic wound tissues by upregulating the expression of angiogenic growth factors. MG53 overexpression accelerated the differentiation of BMSCs into endothelial cells, manifested as the formation of mature vascular network structure and a remarkable increase in DiI-Ac-LDL uptake. Our mechanistic investigation revealed that MG53 binds to caveolin-3 (CAV3) and subsequently increases phosphorylation of eNOS, thereby activating eNOS/NO signaling. Notably, CAV3 knockdown reversed the promoting effects of MG53 on BMSCs endothelial differentiation. Overall, our findings support the notion that MG53 binds to CAV3, activates eNOS/NO signaling pathway, and accelerates the therapeutic effect of BMSCs in the context of diabetic wound healing. These insights hold promise for the development of innovative strategies for treating diabetic-related impairments in wound healing.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus induces a pathophysiological disorder known as diabetic cardiomyopathy and may eventually cause heart failure. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is manifested with systolic and diastolic contractile dysfunction along with alterations in unique cardiomyocyte proteins and diminished cardiomyocyte contraction. Multiple mechanisms contribute to the pathology of diabetic cardiomyopathy, mainly including abnormal insulin metabolism, hyperglycemia, glycotoxicity, cardiac lipotoxicity, endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, calcium treatment damage, programmed myocardial cell death, improper Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System activation, maladaptive immune modulation, coronary artery endothelial dysfunction, exocrine dysfunction, etc. There is an urgent need to investigate the exact pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy and improve the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. The nuclear receptor superfamily comprises a group of transcription factors, such as liver X receptor, retinoid X receptor, retinoic acid-related orphan receptor-α, retinoid receptor, vitamin D receptor, mineralocorticoid receptor, estrogen-related receptor, peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor, nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A 1(NR4A1), etc. Various studies have reported that nuclear receptors play a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases. A recently conducted work highlighted the function of the nuclear receptor superfamily in the realm of metabolic diseases and their associated complications. This review summarized the available information on several important nuclear receptors in the pathophysiology of diabetic cardiomyopathy and discussed future perspectives on the application of nuclear receptors as targets for diabetic cardiomyopathy treatment.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a specific heart condition in diabetic patients, which is a major cause of heart failure and significantly affects quality of life. DCM is manifested as abnormal cardiac structure and function in the absence of ischaemic or hypertensive heart disease in individuals with diabetes. Although the development of DCM involves multiple pathological mechanisms, mitochondrial dysfunction is considered to play a crucial role. The regulatory mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction mainly include mitochondrial dynamics, oxidative stress, calcium handling, uncoupling, biogenesis, mitophagy, and insulin signaling. Targeting mitochondrial function in the treatment of DCM has attracted increasing attention. Studies have shown that plant secondary metabolites contribute to improving mitochondrial function and alleviating the development of DCM. This review outlines the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of DCM and discusses the regulatory mechanism for mitochondrial dysfunction. In addition, it also summarizes treatment strategies based on plant secondary metabolites. These strategies targeting the treatment of mitochondrial dysfunction may help prevent and treat DCM.

Biochem Pharmacol 2024; 223:116173.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, a novel programmed cell death mediated by NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, is a critical pathogenic process in acute viral myocarditis (AVMC). Mitsugumin 53 (MG53) is predominantly expressed in myocardial tissues and has been reported to exert cardioprotective effects through multiple pathways. Herein, we aimed to investigate the biological function of MG53 in AVMC and its underlying regulatory mechanism in pyroptosis. BALB/c mice and HL-1 cells were infected with Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) to establish animal and cellular models of AVMC. As inflammation progressed in the myocardium, we found a progressive decrease in myocardial MG53 expression, accompanied by a significant enhancement of cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. MG53 overexpression significantly alleviated myocardial inflammation, apoptosis, fibrosis, and mitochondrial damage, thereby improving cardiac dysfunction in AVMC mice. Moreover, MG53 overexpression inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β/18) release, and suppressed NF-κB signaling pathway activation both in vivo and in vitro. Conversely, MG53 knockdown reduced cell viability, facilitated cell pyroptosis, and increased pro-inflammatory cytokines release in CVB3-infected HL-1 cells by promoting NF-κB activation. These effects were partially reversed by applying the NF-κB inhibitor BAY 11-7082. In conclusion, our results suggest that MG53 acts as a negative regulator of NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis in CVB3-induced AVMC, partially by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway. MG53 is a promising candidate for clinical applications in AVMC treatment.

Abstract
MG53, a member of the tripartite motif protein family, possesses multiple functionalities due to its classic membrane repair function, anti-inflammatory ability, and E3 ubiquitin ligase properties. Initially recognized for its crucial role in membrane repair, the therapeutic potential of MG53 has been extensively explored in various diseases including muscle injury, myocardial damage, acute lung injury, and acute kidney injury. However, further research has revealed that the E3 ubiquitin ligase characteristics of MG53 also contribute to the pathogenesis of certain conditions such as diabetic cardiomyopathy, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Moreover, recent studies have highlighted the anti-tumor effects of MG53 in different types of cancer, such as small cell lung cancer, liver cancer, and colorectal cancer; these effects are closely associated with their E3 ubiquitin ligase activities. In summary, MG53 is a multifunctional protein that participates in important physiological and pathological processes of multiple organs and is a promising therapeutic target for various human diseases. MG53 plays a multi-organ protective role due to its membrane repair function and its exertion of anti-tumor effects due to its E3 ubiquitin ligase properties. In addition, the controversial aspect of MG53's E3 ubiquitin ligase properties potentially causing insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome necessitates further cross-validation for clarity.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathies (CMs) are highly heterogeneous progressive heart diseases characterised by structural and functional abnormalities of the heart, whose intricate pathogenesis has resulted in a lack of effective treatment options. Mitsugumin 53 (MG53), also known as Tripartite motif protein 72 (TRIM72), is a tripartite motif family protein from the immuno-proteomic library expressed primarily in the heart and skeletal muscle. Recent studies have identified MG53 as a potential cardioprotective protein that may play a crucial role in CMs. Therefore, the objective of this review is to comprehensively examine the underlying mechanisms mediated by MG53 responsible for myocardial protection, elucidate the potential role of MG53 in various CMs as well as its dominant status in the diagnosis and prognosis of human myocardial injury, and evaluate the potential therapeutic value of recombinant human MG53 (rhMG53) in CMs. It is expected to yield novel perspectives regarding the clinical diagnosis and therapeutic treatment of CMs.

Abstract
Previous studies have progressively elucidated the involvement of E3 ubiquitin (Ub) ligases in regulating lipid metabolism. Ubiquitination, facilitated by E3 Ub ligases, modifies critical enzymes in lipid metabolism, enabling them to respond to specific signals. In this review, we aim to present a comprehensive analysis of the role of E3 Ub ligases in lipid metabolism, which includes lipid synthesis and lipolysis, and their influence on cellular lipid homeostasis through the modulation of lipid uptake and efflux. Furthermore, it explores how the ubiquitination process governs the degradation or activation of pivotal enzymes, thereby regulating lipid metabolism at the transcriptional level. Perturbations in lipid metabolism have been implicated in various diseases, including hepatic lipid metabolism disorders, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and cancer. Therefore, this review focuses on the association between E3 Ub ligases and lipid metabolism in lipid-related diseases, highlighting enzymes critically involved in lipid synthesis and catabolism, transcriptional regulators, lipid uptake translocators, and transporters. Overall, this review aims to identify gaps in current knowledge, highlight areas requiring further research, offer potential targeted therapeutic approaches, and provide a comprehensive outlook on clinical conditions associated with lipid metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), one of the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus, has become recognized as a cardiometabolic disease. In normoxic conditions, the majority of the ATP production (>95%) required for heart beating comes from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation of fatty acids (FAs) and glucose, with the remaining portion coming from a variety of sources, including fructose, lactate, ketone bodies (KB) and branched chain amino acids (BCAA). Increased FA intake and decreased utilization of glucose and lactic acid were observed in the diabetic hearts of animal models and diabetic patients. Moreover, the polyol pathway is activated, and fructose metabolism is enhanced. The use of ketones as energy sources in human diabetic hearts also increases significantly. Furthermore, elevated BCAA levels and impaired BCAA metabolism were observed in the hearts of diabetic mice and patients. The shift in energy substrate preference in diabetic hearts results in increased oxygen consumption and impaired oxidative phosphorylation, leading to diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, the precise mechanisms by which impaired myocardial metabolic alterations result in diabetes mellitus cardiac disease are not fully understood. Therefore, this review focuses on the molecular mechanisms involved in alterations of myocardial energy metabolism. It not only adds more molecular targets for the diagnosis and treatment, but also provides an experimental foundation for screening novel therapeutic agents for diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy, a formidable cardiovascular complication linked to diabetes, is witnessing a relentless surge in its incidence. Despite extensive research efforts, the primary pathogenic mechanisms underlying this condition remain elusive. Consequently, a critical research imperative lies in identifying a sensitive and dependable marker for early diagnosis and treatment, thereby mitigating the onset and progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Exosomes (EXOs), minute vesicles enclosed within bilayer lipid membranes, have emerged as a fascinating frontier in this quest, capable of transporting a diverse cargo that mirrors the physiological and pathological states of their parent cells. These exosomes play an active role in the intercellular communication network of the cardiovascular system. Within the realm of exosomes, MicroRNA (miRNA) stands as a pivotal molecular player, revealing its profound influence on the progression of DCM. This comprehensive review aims to offer an introductory exploration of exosome structure and function, followed by a detailed examination of the intricate role played by exosome-associated miRNA in diabetic cardiomyopathy. Our ultimate objective is to bolster our comprehension of DCM diagnosis and treatment strategies, thereby facilitating timely intervention and improved outcomes.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of insulin-signalling-related proteins may be involved in the development of insulin resistance and its related disorders. Tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) proteins, a superfamily belonging to the E3 ubiquitin ligases, are capable of controlling protein levels and function by ubiquitination, which is essential for the modulation of insulin sensitivity. Recent research has indicated that some of these TRIMs act as key regulatory factors of metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and atherosclerosis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest evidence linking TRIMs to the regulation of insulin resistance and its related disorders, their roles in regulating multiple signalling pathways or cellular processes, such as insulin signalling pathways, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signalling pathways, glucose and lipid metabolism, the inflammatory response, and cell cycle control, as well as recent advances in the development of TRIM-targeted drugs.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases represent a global health crisis, and understanding the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac pathology is crucial for developing effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Mitsugumin-53 (MG53) plays a pivotal role in cell membrane repair, has emerged as a multifaceted player in cardiovascular health. MG53, also known as TRIM72, is primarily expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscle and actively participates in membrane repair processes essential for maintaining cardiomyocyte viability. It promotes k-ion currents, ensuring action potential integrity, and actively engages in repairing myocardial and mitochondrial membranes, preserving cardiac function in the face of oxidative stress. This study discusses the dual impact of MG53 on cardiac health, highlighting its cardioprotective role during ischemia/reperfusion injury, its modulation of cardiac arrhythmias, and its influence on cardiomyopathy. MG53's regulation of metabolic pathways, such as lipid metabolism, underlines its role in diabetic cardiomyopathy, while its potential to mitigate the effects of various cardiac disorders, including those induced by antipsychotic medications and alcohol consumption, warrants further exploration. Furthermore, we examine MG53's diagnostic potential as a biomarker for cardiac injury. Research has shown that MG53 levels correlate with cardiomyocyte damage and may predict major adverse cardiovascular events, highlighting its value as a biomarker. Additionally, exogenous recombinant human MG53 (rhMG53) emerges as a promising therapeutic option, demonstrating its ability to reduce infarct size, inhibit apoptosis, and attenuate fibrotic responses. In summary, MG53's diagnostic and therapeutic potential in cardiovascular diseases presents an exciting avenue for improved patient care and outcomes.

Abstract
Cancer treatment still encounters challenges, such as side effects and drug resistance. The tripartite-motif (TRIM) protein family is widely involved in regulation of the occurrence, development, and drug resistance of tumors. MG53, a member of the TRIM protein family, shows strong potential in cancer therapy, primarily due to its E3 ubiquitin ligase properties. The classic membrane repair function and anti-inflammatory capacity of MG53 may also be beneficial for cancer prevention and treatment. However, MG53 appears to be a key regulatory factor in impaired glucose metabolism and a negative regulatory mechanism in muscle regeneration that may have a negative effect on cancer treatment. Developing MG53 mutants that balance the pros and cons may be the key to solving the problem. This article aims to summarize the role and mechanism of MG53 in the occurrence, progression, and invasion of cancer, focusing on the potential impact of the biological function of MG53 on cancer therapy.

Abstract
Posttranslational modification of proteins via ubiquitination determines their activation, translocation, dysregulation, or degradation. This process targets a large number of cellular proteins, affecting all biological pathways involved in the cell cycle, development, growth, and differentiation. Thus, aberrant regulation of ubiquitination is likely associated with several diseases, including various types of metabolic diseases. Among the ubiquitin enzymes, E3 ubiquitin ligases are regarded as the most influential ubiquitin enzymes due to their ability to selectively bind and recruit target substrates for ubiquitination. Continued research on the regulatory mechanisms of E3 ligases and their adaptors in metabolic diseases will further stimulate the discovery of new targets and accelerate the development of therapeutic options for metabolic diseases. In this review, based on recent discoveries, we summarize new insights into the roles of E3 ubiquitin ligases and their adaptors in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases by highlighting recent evidence obtained in both human and animal model studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mitsugumin 53 (MG53) is a myokine that acts as a membrane repair protein in tissues. Data on the effect of MG53 on insulin signaling and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM) are still unknown; most are from preclinical studies. Nevertheless, some researchers have argued that it may be a new pathogenic factor, and therapies targeting MG53 may be a new avenue for T2 DM. Our study aims to evaluate the relationship of circulating MG53 levels with the presence of diabetes, diabetic complications, and glycemic control. METHODS We conducted a case-control study with 107 patients with T2 DM and 105 subjects without insulin resistance-related disease. Concurrent blood samples were used for serum MG53 levels and other biochemical laboratory data. MG53 concentration was measured using Human-MG53, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit (Cat# CSB-EL024511HU). RESULTS We found no difference in MG53 levels between the diabetic and control groups (p = 0.914). Furthermore, when the subjects were divided into tertiles according to their MG53 levels, we did not find any difference between the groups in terms of the presence of diabetes (p = 0.981). Additionally, no correlation was observed between weight, BMI, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, albumin excretion in the urine, e-GFR levels, and MG53. Finally, MG53 levels were similar between the groups with and without microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes. CONCLUSION Our research finding provides insightful clinical evidence of lack of association between the levels of MG53 and T2 DM or glycemic control, at least in the studied population of Turkeys ethnicity. However, further clinical studies are warranted to establish solid evidence of the link between MG53, insulin resistance and glycemic control in a wider population elsewhere in the world.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are glucose-lowering drugs for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We investigated whether evogliptin® (EVO), a DPP-4 inhibitor, could protect against diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and the underlying mechanisms. Eight-week-old diabetic and obese db/db mice were administered EVO (100 mg/kg/day) daily by oral gavage for 12 weeks. db/db control mice and C57BLKS/J as wild-type (WT) mice received equal amounts of the vehicle. In addition to the hypoglycemic effect, we examined the improvement in cardiac contraction/relaxation ability, cardiac fibrosis, and myocardial hypertrophy by EVO treatment. To identify the mechanisms underlying the improvement in diabetic cardiomyopathy by EVO treatment, its effect on lipotoxicity and the mitochondrial damage caused by lipid droplet accumulation in the myocardium were analyzed. EVO lowered the blood glucose and HbA1c levels and improved insulin sensitivity but did not affect the body weight or blood lipid profile. Cardiac systolic/diastolic function, hypertrophy, and fibrosis were improved in the EVO-treated group. EVO prevented cardiac lipotoxicity by reducing the accumulation of lipid droplets in the myocardium through suppression of CD36, ACSL1, FABP3, PPARgamma, and DGAT1 and enhancement of the phosphorylation of FOXO1, indicating its inhibition. The EVO-mediated improvement in mitochondrial function and reduction in damage were achieved through activation of PGC1a/NRF1/TFAM, which activates mitochondrial biogenesis. RNA-seq results for the whole heart confirmed that EVO treatment mainly affected the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to lipid metabolism. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that EVO improves cardiac function by reducing lipotoxicity and mitochondrial injury and provides a potential therapeutic option for DCM.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterized by abnormal myocardial structure or performance in the absence of coronary artery disease or significant valvular heart disease in patients with diabetes mellitus. The spectrum of diabetic cardiomyopathy ranges from subtle myocardial changes to myocardial fibrosis and diastolic function and finally to symptomatic heart failure. Except for sodium–glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors and possibly bariatric and metabolic surgery, there is currently no specific treatment for this distinct disease entity in patients with diabetes. The molecular mechanism of diabetic cardiomyopathy includes impaired nutrient-sensing signaling, dysregulated autophagy, impaired mitochondrial energetics, altered fuel utilization, oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, advanced glycation end-products, inflammation, impaired calcium homeostasis, abnormal endothelial function and nitric oxide production, aberrant epidermal growth factor receptor signaling, the activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system and sympathetic hyperactivity, and extracellular matrix accumulation and fibrosis. Here, we summarize several important emerging treatments for diabetic cardiomyopathy targeting specific molecular mechanisms, with evidence from preclinical studies and clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As an integral component of cell membrane repair machinery, MG53 (mitsugumin 53) is important for cardioprotection induced by ischemia preconditioning and postconditioning. However, it also impairs insulin signaling via its E3 ligase activity-mediated ubiquitination-dependent degradation of IR (insulin receptor) and IRS1 (insulin receptor substrate 1) and its myokine function-induced allosteric blockage of IR. Here, we sought to develop MG53 into a cardioprotection therapy by separating its detrimental metabolic effects from beneficial actions. METHODS Using immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry, site-specific mutation, in vitro kinase assay, and in vivo animal studies, we investigated the role of MG53 phosphorylation at serine 255 (S255). In particular, utilizing recombinant proteins and gene knock-in approaches, we evaluated the potential therapeutic effect of MG53-S255A mutant in treating cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury in diabetic mice. RESULTS We identified S255 phosphorylation as a prerequisite for MG53 E3 ligase activity. Furthermore, MG53S255 phosphorylation was mediated by GSK3β (glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta) and markedly elevated in the animal models with metabolic disorders. Thus, IR-IRS1-GSK3β-MG53 formed a vicious cycle in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders where aberrant insulin signaling led to hyper-activation of GSK3β, which in turn, phosphorylated MG53 and enhanced its E3 ligase activity, and further impaired insulin sensitivity. Importantly, S255A mutant eliminated the E3 ligase activity while retained cell protective function of MG53. Consequently, the S255A mutant, but not the wild type MG53, protected the heart against ischemia/reperfusion injury in db/db mice with advanced diabetes, although both elicited cardioprotection in normal mice. Moreover, in S255A knock-in mice, S255A mutant also mitigated ischemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial damage in the diabetic setting. CONCLUSIONS S255 phosphorylation is a biased regulation of MG53 E3 ligase activity. The MG53-S255A mutant provides a promising approach for the treatment of acute myocardial injury, especially in patients with metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical problem after coronary angioplasty, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and organ transplantation, which can lead to cell damage and death. Mitsugumin 53 (MG53), also known as Trim72, is a conservative member of the TRIM family and is highly expressed in mouse skeletal and cardiac muscle, with minimal amounts in humans. MG53 has been proven to be involved in repairing cell membrane damage. It has a protective effect on I/R injury in multiple oxygen-dependent organs, such as the heart, brain, lung, kidney, and liver. Recombinant human MG53 also plays a unique role in I/R, sepsis, and other aspects, which is expected to provide new ideas for related treatment. This article briefly reviews the pathophysiology of I/R injury and how MG53 mitigates multi-organ I/R injury.

Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase Deficiency Is Associated with Deleterious Cardiac Effects after Myocardial Ischemia and Reperfusion in Mice. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232012690. [PMID: 36293543 PMCID: PMC9604059 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232012690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Revised: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Ischemic cardiomyopathy leads to inflammation and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Animal studies provided evidence for cardioprotective effects of the endocannabinoid system, including cardiomyocyte adaptation, inflammation, and remodeling. Cannabinoid type-2 receptor (CB2) deficiency led to increased apoptosis and infarctions with worsened LV function in ischemic cardiomyopathy. The aim of our study was to investigate a possible cardioprotective effect of endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA) after ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). Therefore, fatty acid amide hydrolase deficient (FAAH)−/− mice were subjected to repetitive, daily, 15 min, left anterior descending artery (LAD) occlusion over 3 and 7 consecutive days. Interestingly, FAAH−/− mice showed stigmata such as enhanced inflammation, cardiomyocyte loss, stronger remodeling, and persistent scar with deteriorated LV function compared to wild-type (WT) littermates. As endocannabinoids also activate PPAR-α (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor), PPAR-α mediated effects of AEA were eliminated with PPAR-α antagonist GW6471 i.v. in FAAH−/− mice. LV function was assessed using M-mode echocardiography. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed apoptosis, macrophage accumulation, collagen deposition, and remodeling. Hypertrophy was determined by cardiomyocyte area and heart weight/tibia length. Molecular analyses involved Taqman® RT-qPCR and immune cells were analyzed with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Most importantly, collagen deposition was reduced to WT levels when FAAH−/− mice were treated with GW6471. Chemokine ligand-2 (CCL2) expression was significantly higher in FAAH−/− mice compared to WT, followed by higher macrophage infiltration in infarcted areas, both being reversed by GW6471 treatment. Besides restoring antioxidative properties and contractile elements, PPAR-α antagonism also reversed hypertrophy and remodeling in FAAH−/− mice. Finally, FAAH−/−-mice showed more substantial downregulation of PPAR-α compared to WT, suggesting a compensatory mechanism as endocannabinoids are also ligands for PPAR-α, and its activation causes lipotoxicity leading to cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Our study gives novel insights into the role of endocannabinoids acting via PPAR-α. We hypothesize that the increase in endocannabinoids may have partially detrimental effects on cardiomyocyte survival due to PPAR-α activation.

Abstract
MG53 is a tripartite motif (TRIM) family E3 ligase and plays important biological functions. Here we present the cryo-EM structure of human MG53, showing that MG53 is a homodimer consisting of a "body" and two "wings". Intermolecular interactions are mainly distributed in the "body" which is relatively stable, while two "wings" are more dynamic. The overall architecture of MG53 is distinct from those of TRIM20 and TRIM25, illustrating the broad structural diversity of this protein family.

Abstract
The role of tripartite motif (TRIM) 38, a ubiquitin E3 ligase regulating various pathophysiological processes, in cardiac fibrosis remains unclear. Here, a model of angiotensin II and myocardial infarction (MI)-induced fibrosis was established to explore its role in cardiac fibrosis and its underlying mechanisms. Cardiac fibrosis in the mouse MI model was mitigated by TRIM38 overexpression, but aggravated by its depletion. Consistently, in vitro overexpression or knockdown of TRIM38 ameliorated or aggravated the proliferation and secretion of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) exposed to fibrotic stimulation, respectively. Mechanistically, TRIM38 suppressed cardiac fibrosis progression by attenuating TAK1/MAPK signaling. Inhibiting TAK1/MAPK signaling with a pharmacological inhibitor greatly reversed the effects of TRIM38 knockdown on CF secretion. Specifically, TRIM38 interacted with and “targeted” TAB2 and TAB3 for degradation, subsequently inhibiting TAK1 phosphorylation and negatively regulating MAPK signaling. These findings can help develop therapeutic strategies to treat and prevent cardiac fibrosis. TRIM38 expression is negatively correlated with cardiac fibrosis progression TRIM38 ameliorates the proliferation and secretion of CFs post fibrotic stimulation TRIM38 overexpression attenuates cardiac fibrosis progression in MI mice TRIM38 inhibits the TAK1/MAPK pathway by targeting the degradation of TAB2 and TAB3

Abstract
Patients with diabetes have an increased risk of developing heart failure, preceded by (often asymptomatic) cardiac abnormalities, collectively called diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC). Diabetic heart failure lacks effective treatment, remaining an urgent, unmet clinical need. Although structural and functional characteristics of the diabetic human heart are well defined, clinical studies lack the ability to pinpoint the specific mechanisms responsible for DC. Preclinical animal models represent a vital component for understanding disease aetiology, which is essential for the discovery of new targeted treatments for diabetes-induced heart failure. In this review, we describe the current landscape of preclinical DC models (genetic, pharmacologically induced, and diet-induced models), highlighting their strengths and weaknesses and alignment to features of the human disease. Finally, we provide tools, resources, and recommendations to assist future preclinical translation addressing this knowledge gap.

Front Physiol 2022; 13:828020. [PMID: 35711309 PMCID: PMC9197582 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.828020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), the main complication of diabetes mellitus, presents as cardiac dysfunction by ventricular remodeling. In addition, the inhibition of P2X7 purinergic receptors (P2X7R) alleviates cardiac fibrosis and apoptosis in Type 1 diabetes. However, whether exercise training improves cardiac remodeling by regulating P2X7R remains unknown. Methods: Db/db mice spontaneously induced with type 2 diabetes and high-fat diet (HFD) and mice with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 2 diabetes mice were treated by 12-week treadmill training. Cardiac functions were observed by two-dimensional echocardiography. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, Sirius red staining and transmission electron microscopy were respectively used to detect cardiac morphology, fibrosis and mitochondria. In addition, real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western Blot were used to detect mRNA and protein levels. Results: Studying the hearts of db/db mice and STZ-induced mice, we found that collagen deposition and the number of disordered cells significantly increased compared with the control group. However, exercise markedly reversed these changes, and the same tendency was observed in the expression of MMP9, COL-I, and TGF-β, which indicated cardiac fibrotic and hypertrophic markers, including ANP and MyHC expression. In addition, the increased Caspase-3 level and the ratio of Bax/Bcl2 were reduced by exercise training, and similar results were observed in the TUNEL test. Notably, the expression of P2X7R was greatly upregulated in the hearts of db/db mice and HFD + STZ-induced DM mice and downregulated by aerobic exercise. Moreover, we indicated that P2X7R knock out significantly reduced the collagen deposition and disordered cells in the DM group. Furthermore, the apoptosis levels and TUNEL analysis were greatly inhibited by exercise or in the P2X7R-/- group in DM. We found significant differences between the P2X7R-/- + DM + EX group and DM + EX group in myocardial tissue apoptosis and fibrosis, in which the former is significantly milder. Moreover, compared with the P2X7R-/- + DM group, the P2X7R-/- + DM + EX group represented a lower level of cardiac fibrosis. The expression levels of TGF-β at the protein level and TGF-β and ANP at the genetic level were evidently decreased in the P2X7R-/- + DM + EX group. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise reversed cardiac remodeling in diabetic mice at least partly through inhibiting P2X7R expression in cardiomyocytes.

BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:4483009. [PMID: 35647185 PMCID: PMC9135524 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4483009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Revised: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Recent studies indicate existence of beige adipocytes in adults. Upon activation, beige adipocytes burn energy for thermogenesis and contribute to regulation of energy balance. In this study, we have analyzed whether Jinlida granules (JLD) could activate beige adipocytes. JLD suspended in 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was gavage fed to db/db mice at a daily dose of 3.8 g/kg. After 10 weeks, body weight, biochemical, and histological analyses were performed. In situ hybridization, immunofluorescence, and western blotting were conducted to test beige adipocyte activation in mice. X9 cells were induced with induction medium and maintenance medium containing 400 μg/mL of JLD. After completion of induction, cells were analyzed by Nile red staining, time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), western blotting, and immunofluorescence to understand the effect of JLD on the activation of beige adipocytes. A molecular docking method was used to preliminarily identify compounds in JLD, which hold the potential activation effect on uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). JLD treatment significantly improved obesity in db/db mice. Biochemical results showed that JLD reduced blood glucose (GLU), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) levels as well as liver aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in mice. Hematoxylin and eosin staining (H&E) showed that JLD reduced hepatocyte ballooning changes in the liver. Immunofluorescence showed that JLD increased the expression of the thermogenic protein, UCP1, in the beige adipose tissue of mice. JLD also increased the expression of UCP1 and inhibited the expression of miR-27a in X9 cells. Molecular docking results showed that epmedin B, epmedin C, icariin, puerarin, and salvianolic acid B had potential activation effects on UCP1. The results suggest that JLD may activate beige adipocytes by inhibiting miR-27a expression, thereby promoting thermogenesis in beige adipocytes. This study provides a new pharmacological basis for the clinical use of JLD.

Abstract
Numerous studies found intestinal microbiota alterations which are thought to affect the development of various diseases through the production of gut-derived metabolites. However, the specific metabolites and their pathophysiological contribution to cardiac hypertrophy or heart failure progression still remain unclear. N,N,N-trimethyl-5-aminovaleric acid (TMAVA), derived from trimethyllysine through the gut microbiota, was elevated with gradually increased risk of cardiac mortality and transplantation in a prospective heart failure cohort (n = 1647). TMAVA treatment aggravated cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction in high-fat diet-fed mice. Decreased fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is a hallmark of metabolic reprogramming in the diseased heart and contributes to impaired myocardial energetics and contractile dysfunction. Proteomics uncovered that TMAVA disturbed cardiac energy metabolism, leading to inhibition of FAO and myocardial lipid accumulation. TMAVA treatment altered mitochondrial ultrastructure, respiration and FAO and inhibited carnitine metabolism. Mice with γ-butyrobetaine hydroxylase (BBOX) deficiency displayed a similar cardiac hypertrophy phenotype, indicating that TMAVA functions through BBOX. Finally, exogenous carnitine supplementation reversed TMAVA induced cardiac hypertrophy. These data suggest that the gut microbiota-derived TMAVA is a key determinant for the development of cardiac hypertrophy through inhibition of carnitine synthesis and subsequent FAO. Intestinal microbiota alterations may affect heart function through the production of gut-derived metabolites. Here the authors found that gut microbiota-derived TMAVA is a key determinant for the development of cardiac hypertrophy through inhibition of carnitine synthesis and subsequent fatty acid oxidation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) is a stress-responsive factor that mediates multiple cellular responses. As a member of class IIa HDACs, HDAC4 shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm; however, HDAC4 cytoplasmic functions have never been fully investigated. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic, progressive, incurable disorder, characterized by muscle wasting, which can be treated with the unspecific inhibition of HDACs, despite this approach being only partially effective. More efficient strategies may be proposed for DMD only after the different HDAC members will be characterized. METHODS To fully understand HDAC4 functions, we generated dystrophic mice carrying a skeletal muscle-specific deletion of HDAC4 (mdx;KO mice). The progression of muscular dystrophy was characterized in mdx and age-matched mdx;KO mice by means of histological, molecular, and functional analyses. Satellite cells (SCs) from these mice were differentiated in vitro, to identify HDAC4 intrinsic functions influencing the myogenic potential of dystrophic SCs. Gain-of-function experiments revealed the cytoplasmic functions of HDAC4 in mdx;KO muscles. RESULTS Histone deacetylase 4 increased in the skeletal muscles of mdx mice (~3-fold; P < 0.05) and of DMD patients (n = 3, males, mean age 13.3 ± 1.5 years), suggesting that HDAC4 has a role in DMD. Its deletion in skeletal muscles importantly worsens the pathological features of DMD, leading to greater muscle fragility and degeneration over time. Additionally, it impairs SC survival, myogenic potential, and muscle regeneration, ultimately compromising muscle function (P < 0.05-0.001). The impaired membrane repair mechanism in muscles and SCs accounts for the mdx;KO phenotype. Indeed, the ectopic expression of Trim72, a major player in the membrane repair mechanism, prevents SC death (~20%; P < 0.01) and increases myogenic fusion (~40%; P < 0.01) in vitro; in vivo it significantly reduces myofibre damage (~10%; P < 0.005) and improves mdx;KO muscle function (P < 0.05). The mdx;KO phenotype is also fully rescued by restoring cytoplasmic levels of HDAC4, both in vitro and in vivo. The protective role of HDAC4 in the cytoplasm of mdx;KO muscles is, in part, independent of its deacetylase activity. HDAC4 expression correlates with Trim72 mRNA levels; furthermore, Trim72 mRNA decays more rapidly (P < 0.01) in mdx;KO muscle cells, compared with mdx ones. CONCLUSIONS Histone deacetylase 4 performs crucial functions in the cytoplasm of dystrophic muscles, by mediating the muscle repair response to damage, an important role in ensuring muscle homeostasis, probably by stabilizing Trim72 mRNA. Consequently, the cytoplasmic functions of HDAC4 should be stimulated rather than inhibited in muscular dystrophy treatments, a fact to be considered in future therapeutic approaches.

Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibition Protected against Diabetic Cardiomyopathy through Inducing Autophagy and Reducing Apoptosis Relying on Nrf2 Upregulation and Transcription Activation. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:3773415. [PMID: 35378826 PMCID: PMC8976467 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3773415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2021] [Revised: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Background Many patients with diabetes die from diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM); however, effective strategies for the prevention or treatment of DCM have not yet been clarified. Methods Leptin receptor-deficient (db/db) mice were treated with either the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitor AUDA or vehicle alone. A virus carrying Nrf2 shRNA was used to manipulate Nrf2 expression in db/db mice. Cardiac structures and functions were analyzed using echocardiography and hemodynamic examinations. Primary cardiomyocytes cultured under high glucose and high fat (HGHF) conditions were used to conduct in vitro loss-of-function assays after culture in the presence or absence of AUDA (1 μM). Fluorescence microscopy-based detection of mCherry-GFP-LC3 was performed to assess autophagic flux. Results The sEH inhibitor AUDA significantly attenuated ventricular remodeling and ameliorated cardiac dysfunction in db/db mice. Interestingly, AUDA upregulated Nrf2 expression and promoted its nuclear translocation in db/db mice and the HGHF-treated cardiomyocytes. Additionally, AUDA increased autophagy and decreased apoptosis in db/db mice heart. Furthermore, the administration of AUDA promoted autophagic flux and elevated LC3-II protein level in the presence of bafilomycin A1. However, AUDA-induced autophagy was abolished, and the antiapoptotic effect was partially inhibited upon Nrf2 knockdown. Conclusion Our findings suggest that the sEH inhibitor AUDA attenuates cardiac remodeling and dysfunction in DCM via increasing autophagy and reducing apoptosis, which is relevant to activate Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background Myocarditis is a cardiomyopathy associated with the inflammatory response. Rosuvastatin (RS) demonstrates cardioprotective effect in the clinical setting, although its cellular and molecular mechanisms in ameliorating myocarditis are largely unknown. MG53 (muscle-specific E3 ligase Mitsugumin 53), a newly identified striated muscle-specific protein, is involved in skeletal muscle membrane repair. We aimed to explore whether RS mediated the repair of cardiomyocytes in an MG53-dependent manner. Methods The RS-induced upregulation of MG53 was determined using RT-qPCR and western blotting. A lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cell inflammatory model was constructed using rat cardiac muscle cell H9C2. Inflammatory injury was evaluated according to the alterations of cell viability, mitochondrial membrane potential, cell apoptosis, and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1). Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were used to silence MG53. The cardioprotective effect of RS and the inhibition of this protection by MG53 silence were evaluated in the forementioned in vitro model. The underlying mechanism was finally investigated using western blotting to detected the expressions of apoptotic markers (Bcl-2, Bax, Cleaved caspase-9, Cleaved caspase-3), cell cycle regulatory factors (Cyclin A, Cyclin E1, Cyclin D1, CDK2), and components involved in NF-κB signaling pathway (p-IκBa, Iκba, p-p65, p65). Results RS ameliorated LPS-induced inflammatory injury. RS upregulated the expression of MG53. MG53 was crucial for the RS-mediated repair response in vitro. Ablation of MG53 inhibited the RS-mediated protective effect. Furthermore, RS and MG53 interact in multiple signaling pathways to modulate recovery. Conclusion RS exerts cardioprotective effect in an MG53-dependent manner. MG53 may serve as a novel drug target for myocarditis treatment.

MG53 E3 Ligase-Dead Mutant Protects Diabetic Hearts From Acute Ischemic/Reperfusion Injury and Ameliorates Diet-Induced Cardiometabolic Damage. Diabetes 2022; 71:298-314. [PMID: 34844991 PMCID: PMC8914286 DOI: 10.2337/db21-0322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2021] [Accepted: 11/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Cardiometabolic diseases, including diabetes and its cardiovascular complications, are the global leading causes of death, highlighting a major unmet medical need. Over the past decade, mitsugumin 53 (MG53), also called TRIM72, has emerged as a powerful agent for myocardial membrane repair and cardioprotection, but its therapeutic value is complicated by its E3 ligase activity, which mediates metabolic disorders. Here, we show that an E3 ligase-dead mutant, MG53-C14A, retains its cardioprotective function without causing metabolic adverse effects. When administered in normal animals, both the recombinant human wild-type MG53 protein (rhMG53-WT) and its E3 ligase-dead mutant (rhMG53-C14A) protected the heart equally from myocardial infarction and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, in diabetic db/db mice, rhMG53-WT treatment markedly aggravated hyperglycemia, cardiac I/R injury, and mortality, whereas acute and chronic treatment with rhMG53-C14A still effectively ameliorated I/R-induced myocardial injury and mortality or diabetic cardiomyopathy, respectively, without metabolic adverse effects. Furthermore, knock-in of MG53-C14A protected the mice from high-fat diet-induced metabolic disorders and cardiac damage. Thus, the E3 ligase-dead mutant MG53-C14A not only protects the heart from acute myocardial injury but also counteracts metabolic stress, providing a potentially important therapy for the treatment of acute myocardial injury in metabolic disorders, including diabetes and obesity.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease that is increasing in prevalence and causes many complications. Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a complication of diabetes that is associated with high mortality, but it is not well defined. Nevertheless, it is generally accepted that DCM refers to a clinical disease that occurs in patients with diabetes and involves ventricular dysfunction, in the absence of other cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, hypertension, or valvular heart disease. However, it is currently uncertain whether the pathogenesis of DCM is directly attributable to metabolic dysfunction or secondary to diabetic microangiopathy. Oxidative stress (OS) is considered to be a key component of its pathogenesis. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cardiomyocytes is a vicious circle, resulting in further production of ROS, mitochondrial DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, and the post-translational modification of proteins, as well as inflammation, cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, ultimately leading to cell death and cardiac dysfunction. ROS have been shown to affect various signaling pathways involved in the development of DCM. For instance, OS causes metabolic disorders by affecting the regulation of PPARα, AMPK/mTOR, and SIRT3/FOXO3a. Furthermore, OS participates in inflammation mediated by the NF-κB pathway, NLRP3 inflammasome, and the TLR4 pathway. OS also promotes TGF-β-, Rho-ROCK-, and Notch-mediated cardiac remodeling, and is involved in the regulation of calcium homeostasis, which impairs ATP production and causes ROS overproduction. In this review, we summarize the signaling pathways that link OS to DCM, with the intention of identifying appropriate targets and new antioxidant therapies for DCM.

Abstract
Kidney fibrosis is associated with the progression of acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease. MG53, a cell membrane repair protein, has been shown to protect against injury to kidney epithelial cells and acute kidney injury. Here, we evaluated the role of MG53 in modulation of kidney fibrosis in aging mice and in mice with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) a known model of progressive kidney fibrosis. Mice with ablation of MG53 developed more interstitial fibrosis with age than MG53-intact mice of the same age. Similarly, in the absence of MG53, kidney fibrosis was exaggerated compared to mice with intact MG53 in the obstructed kidney compared to the contralateral unobstructed kidney or the kidneys of sham operated mice. The ureteral obstructed kidneys from MG53 deficient mice also showed significantly more inflammation than ureteral obstructed kidneys from MG53 intact mice. In vitro experiments demonstrated that MG53 could enter the nuclei of proximal tubular epithelial cells and directly interact with the p65 component of transcription factor NF-κB, providing a possible explanation of enhanced inflammation in the absence of MG53. To test this, enhanced MG53 expression through engineered cells or direct recombinant protein delivery was given to mice subject to UUO. This reduced NF-κB activation and inflammation and attenuated kidney fibrosis. Thus, MG53 may have a therapeutic role in treating chronic kidney inflammation and thereby provide protection against fibrosis that leads to the chronic kidney disease phenotype.

Abstract
Cardiovascular remodeling occurs in cardiomyocytes, collagen meshes, and vascular beds in the progress of cardiac insufficiency caused by a variety of cardiac diseases such as chronic ischemic heart disease, chronic overload heart disease, myocarditis, and myocardial infarction. The morphological changes that occur as a result of remodeling are the critical pathological basis for the occurrence and development of serious diseases and also determine morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the inhibition of remodeling is an important approach to prevent and treat heart failure and other related diseases. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria are tightly linked by ER-mitochondria contacts (ERMCs). ERMCs play a vital role in different signaling pathways and provide a satisfactory structural platform for the ER and mitochondria to interact and maintain the normal function of cells, mainly by involving various cellular life processes such as lipid metabolism, calcium homeostasis, mitochondrial function, ER stress, and autophagy. Studies have shown that abnormal ERMCs may promote the occurrence and development of remodeling and participate in the formation of a variety of cardiovascular remodeling-associated diseases. This review focuses on the structure and function of the ERMCs, and the potential mechanism of ERMCs involved in cardiovascular remodeling, indicating that ERMCs may be a potential target for new therapeutic strategies against cardiovascular remodeling-induced diseases.

Abstract
Fibrosis is an outcome of tissue repair after different types of injuries. The homeostasis of extracellular matrix is broken, and excessive deposition occurs, affecting the normal function of tissues and organs, which could become prostrated in serious cases.Finding a suitable target to regulate the repair process and reduce the damage caused by fibrosis is a hot research topic at present. The TRIM family is number of one of the E3 ubiquitin ligase subfamilies and participates in various biological processes including intracellular signal transduction, apoptosis, autophagy, and immunity by regulating the ubiquitination of target proteins. For the past few years, the important role of TRIM in the occurrence and development of fibrosis has been gradually revealed. In this review, we focus on the recent emerging topics on TRIM proteins in the regulation of fibrosis, fibrosis-related cytokines and pathways.

Abstract
Background Cancer cells develop resistance to chemotherapeutic intervention by excessive formation of stress granules (SGs), which are modulated by an oncogenic protein G3BP2. Selective control of G3BP2/SG signaling is a potential means to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Co-immunoprecipitation was conducted to identify the interaction of MG53 and G3BP2. Immunohistochemistry and live cell imaging were performed to visualize the subcellular expression or co-localization. We used shRNA to knock-down the expression MG53 or G3BP2 to test the cell migration and colony formation. The expression level of MG53 and G3BP2 in human NSCLC tissues was tested by western blot analysis. The ATO-induced oxidative stress model was used to examine the effect of rhMG53 on SG formation. Moue NSCLC allograft experiments were performed on wild type and transgenic mice with either knockout of MG53, or overexpression of MG53. Human NSCLC xenograft model in mice was used to evaluate the effect of MG53 overexpression on tumorigenesis. Results We show that MG53, a member of the TRIM protein family (TRIM72), modulates G3BP2 activity to control lung cancer progression. Loss of MG53 results in the progressive development of lung cancer in mg53-/- mice. Transgenic mice with sustained elevation of MG53 in the bloodstream demonstrate reduced tumor growth following allograft transplantation of mouse NSCLC cells. Biochemical assay reveals physical interaction between G3BP2 and MG53 through the TRIM domain of MG53. Knockdown of MG53 enhances proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells, whereas reduced tumorigenicity is seen in NSCLC cells with knockdown of G3BP2 expression. The recombinant human MG53 (rhMG53) protein can enter the NSCLC cells to induce nuclear translation of G3BP2 and block arsenic trioxide-induced SG formation. The anti-proliferative effect of rhMG53 on NSCLC cells was abolished with knockout of G3BP2. rhMG53 can enhance sensitivity of NSCLC cells to undergo cell death upon treatment with cisplatin. Tailored induction of MG53 expression in NSCLC cells suppresses lung cancer growth via reduced SG formation in a xenograft model. Conclusion Overall, these findings support the notion that MG53 functions as a tumor suppressor by targeting G3BP2/SG activity in NSCLCs.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:722908. [PMID: 34458345 PMCID: PMC8387950 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.722908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Cardiac hypertrophy was accompanied by various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and due to the high global incidence and mortality of CVDs, it has become increasingly critical to characterize the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy. We aimed to determine the metabolic roles of fatty acid binding protein 3 (FABP3) on transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Methods and Results: Transverse aortic constriction or Ang II treatment markedly upregulated Fabp3 expression. Notably, Fabp3 ablation aggravated TAC-induced cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac dysfunction. Multi-omics analysis revealed that Fabp3-deficient hearts exhibited disrupted metabolic signatures characterized by increased glycolysis, toxic lipid accumulation, and compromised fatty acid oxidation and ATP production under hypertrophic stimuli. Mechanistically, FABP3 mediated metabolic reprogramming by directly interacting with PPARα, which prevented its degradation and synergistically modulated its transcriptional activity on Mlycd and Gck. Finally, treatment with the PPARα agonist, fenofibrate, rescued the pro-hypertrophic effects of Fabp3 deficiency. Conclusions: Collectively, these findings reveal the indispensable roles of the FABP3-PPARα axis on metabolic homeostasis and the development of hypertrophy, which sheds new light on the treatment of hypertrophy.

Abstract
Background: Diabetic cardiomyopathy is the primary complication associated with diabetes mellitus and also is a major cause of death and disability. Limited pharmacological therapies are available for diabetic cardiomyopathy. Qiliqiangxin (QLQX), a Chinese medication, has been proven to be beneficial for heart failure patients. However, the role and the underlying protective mechanisms of QLQX in diabetic cardiomyopathy remain largely unexplored. Methods: Primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) were treated with glucose (HG, 40 mM) to establish the hyperglycemia-induced apoptosis model in vitro. Streptozotocin (STZ, 50 mg/kg/day for 5 consecutive days) was intraperitoneally injected into mice to establish the diabetic cardiomyopathy model in vivo. Various analyses including qRT-PCR, western blot, immunofluorescence [terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining] histology (hematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome staining), and cardiac function (echocardiography) were performed in these mice. QLQX (0.5 μg/ml in vitro and 0.5 g/kg/day in vivo) was used in this study. Results: QLQX attenuated hyperglycemia-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis via activating peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). In vivo, QLQX treatment protected mice against STZ-induced cardiac dysfunction and pathological remodeling. Conclusions: QLQX attenuates diabetic cardiomyopathy via activating PPARγ.

Abstract
Insulin receptors are highly expressed in the heart and vasculature. Insulin signaling regulates cardiac growth, survival, substrate uptake, utilization, and mitochondrial metabolism. Insulin signaling modulates the cardiac responses to physiological and pathological stressors. Altered insulin signaling in the heart may contribute to the pathophysiology of ventricular remodeling and heart failure progression. Myocardial insulin signaling adapts rapidly to changes in the systemic metabolic milieu. What may initially represent an adaptation to protect the heart from carbotoxicity may contribute to amplifying the risk of heart failure in obesity and diabetes. This review article presents the multiple roles of insulin signaling in cardiac physiology and pathology and discusses the potential therapeutic consequences of modulating myocardial insulin signaling.

Abstract
Heart disease remains the leading cause of mortality globally, so further investigation is required to identify its underlying mechanisms and potential targets for treatment and prevention. Mitsugumin 53 (MG53), also known as TRIM72, is a TRIM family protein that was found to be involved in cell membrane repair and primarily found in striated muscle. Its role in skeletal muscle regeneration and myogenesis has been well documented. However, accumulating evidence suggests that MG53 has a potentially protective role in heart tissue, including in ischemia/reperfusion injury of the heart, cardiomyocyte membrane injury repair, and atrial fibrosis. This review summarizes the regulatory role of MG53 in cardiac tissues, current debates regarding MG53 in diabetes and diabetic cardiomyopathy, as well as highlights potential clinical applications of MG53 in treating cardiac pathologies.

Protective Effects of Huangqi Shengmai Yin on Type 1 Diabetes-Induced Cardiomyopathy by Improving Myocardial Lipid Metabolism.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the many complications of diabetes. DCM leads to cardiac insufficiency and myocardial remodeling and is the main cause of death in diabetic patients. Abnormal lipid metabolism plays an important role in the occurrence and development of DCM. Huangqi Shengmai Yin (HSY) has previously been shown to alleviate signs of heart disease. Here, we investigated whether HSY could improve cardiomyopathy caused by type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and improve abnormal lipid metabolism in the diabetic heart. Streptozotocin (STZ) was used to establish the T1DM mouse model, and T1DM mice were subsequently treated with HSY for eight weeks. The changes in the cardiac conduction system, histopathology, blood myocardial injury indices, and lipid content and expression of proteins related to lipid metabolism were evaluated. Our results showed that HSY could improve electrocardiogram; decrease the serum levels of CK-MB, LDH, and BNP; alleviate histopathological changes in cardiac tissue; and decrease myocardial lipid content in T1DM mice. These results indicate that HSY has a protective effect against T1DM-induced myocardial injury in mice and that this effect may be related to the improvement in myocardial lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Proteasomal activity is compromised in diabetic hearts that contributes to proteotoxic stresses and cardiac dysfunction. Osteocrin (OSTN) acts as a novel exercise-responsive myokine and is implicated in various cardiac diseases. Herein, we aim to investigate the role and underlying molecular basis of OSTN in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Mice received a single intravenous injection of the cardiotrophic adeno-associated virus serotype 9 to overexpress OSTN in the heart and then were exposed to intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin (STZ, 50 mg/kg) for consecutive 5 days to generate diabetic models. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were isolated and stimulated with high glucose to verify the role of OSTN in vitro. OSTN expression was reduced by protein kinase B/forkhead box O1 dephosphorylation in diabetic hearts, while its overexpression significantly attenuated cardiac injury and dysfunction in mice with STZ treatment. Besides, OSTN incubation prevented, whereas OSTN silence aggravated cardiomyocyte apoptosis and injury upon hyperglycemic stimulation in vitro. Mechanistically, OSTN treatment restored protein kinase G (PKG)-dependent proteasomal function, and PKG or proteasome inhibition abrogated the protective effects of OSTN in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, OSTN replenishment was sufficient to prevent the progression of pre-established DCM and had synergistic cardioprotection with sildenafil. OSTN protects against DCM via restoring PKG-dependent proteasomal activity and it is a promising therapeutic target to treat DCM.

Abstract
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) affects half of all patients with heart failure worldwide, is increasing in prevalence, confers substantial morbidity and mortality, and has very few effective treatments. HFpEF is arguably the greatest unmet medical need in cardiovascular disease. Although HFpEF was initially considered to be a haemodynamic disorder characterized by hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction, the pandemics of obesity and diabetes mellitus have modified the HFpEF syndrome, which is now recognized to be a multisystem disorder involving the heart, lungs, kidneys, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, vascular system, and immune and inflammatory signalling. This multiorgan involvement makes HFpEF difficult to model in experimental animals because the condition is not simply cardiac hypertrophy and hypertension with abnormal myocardial relaxation. However, new animal models involving both haemodynamic and metabolic disease, and increasing efforts to examine human pathophysiology, are revealing new signalling pathways and potential therapeutic targets. In this Review, we discuss the cellular and molecular pathobiology of HFpEF, with the major focus being on mechanisms relevant to the heart, because most research has focused on this organ. We also highlight the involvement of other important organ systems, including the lungs, kidneys and skeletal muscle, efforts to characterize patients with the use of systemic biomarkers, and ongoing therapeutic efforts. Our objective is to provide a roadmap of the signalling pathways and mechanisms of HFpEF that are being characterized and which might lead to more patient-specific therapies and improved clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a synergistic effect on cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality in patients with established CV disease (CVD). The aim of this review is to summarize the knowledge regarding the discriminative abilities of conventional and novel biomarkers in T2DM patients with established HF or at higher risk of developing HF. While conventional biomarkers, such as natriuretic peptides and high-sensitivity troponins demonstrate high predictive ability in HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), this is not the case for HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). HFpEF is a heterogeneous disease with a high variability of CVD and conventional risk factors including T2DM, hypertension, renal disease, older age, and female sex; therefore, the extrapolation of predictive abilities of traditional biomarkers on this population is constrained. New biomarker-based approaches are disputed to be sufficient for improving risk stratification and the prediction of poor clinical outcomes in patients with HFpEF. Novel biomarkers of biomechanical stress, fibrosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and collagen turn-over have shown potential benefits in determining prognosis in T2DM patients with HF regardless of natriuretic peptides, but their role in point-to-care and in routine practice requires elucidation in large clinical trials.

Abstract
Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS)-catalyzed isoprenoid intermediates are involved in diabetic cardiomyopathy. This study investigated the specific role of FPPS in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. We demonstrated that FPPS expression was elevated in both in vivo and in vitro models of diabetic cardiomyopathy. FPPS inhibition decreased the expression of proteins related to cardiac fibrosis and cardiomyocytic hypertrophy, including collagen I, collagen III, connective tissue growth factor, natriuretic factor, brain natriuretic peptide, and β-myosin heavy chain. Furthermore, FPPS inhibition and knockdown prevented phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1/2 (JNK1/2) activation in vitro. In addition, a JNK1/2 inhibitor downregulated high-glucose-induced responses to diabetic cardiomyopathy. Finally, immunofluorescence revealed that cardiomyocytic size was elevated by high glucose and was decreased by zoledronate, small-interfering farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (siFPPS), and a JNK1/2 inhibitor. Taken together, our findings indicate that FPPS and JNK1/2 may be part of a signaling pathway that plays an important role in diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Diabetic patients often have a heightened risk of cardiomyopathy, even in the absence of traditional risk factors such as hypertension and atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterized by a typical cardiomyopathy specific to diabetes, the pathogenesis of which has yet to be fully elucidated. As a well-documented oncogenic long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) has been implicated in a variety of pathological processes, including diabetic complications. This study aimed to evaluate the functional roles of MALAT1 in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Spontaneously diabetic (db/db) C57BL/Ks mice were employed to establish diabetic cardiomyopathy models in vivo and high glucose (HG)-cultured mouse cardiomyocytes for myocardial damage models in vitro. Mouse left ventricular volume and function were evaluated by echocardiography, while the myocyte cross-sectional area was calculated to evaluate the degree of myocardial hypertrophy. TUNEL staining and flow cytometric analysis were performed to evaluate myocardial damage and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Silencing of MALAT1 was found to attenuate cardiac dysfunction and inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis in db/db mice and HG-cultured mouse cardiomyocytes. MALAT1 recruited the histone methyltransferase EZH2 to the miR-22 promoter region and inhibited its expression. EZH2 induced an increased in the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), which was identified to be a target gene of miR-22. Silencing of EZH2 was found to improve cardiac function and prevent cardiomyocyte apoptosis in db/db mice and HG-cultured mouse cardiomyocytes in the presence of MALAT1, suggesting that MALAT1 mediated myocardial damage by recruiting EZH2 to the miR-22 promoter. Taken together, this study's findings provide evidence confirming our hypothesis, suggesting the involvement of MALAT1 in the processes of cardiac function and cardiomyocyte apoptosis via the EZH2/miR-22/ABCA1 signaling cascade, which has potential therapeutic implications for the understanding of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the most widely spread metabolic disorder also called as "life style" disease. Due to the alarming number of patients, there is great need to therapies targeting functions which can help in maintaining the homeostasis of glucose levels and improving insulin sensitivity. Detailed analysis was done through various research and review papers which was searched using MEDLINE, BIOSIS, and EMBASE using various keywords. This search retrieved the most appropriate content on these molecules targeting UPP pathway. From this extensive review involving UPP pathway, it was concluded that the role of ubiquitin's is not only limited to neurodegenerative disorders but also plays a critical role in progression of diabetes including obesity, insulin resistance, and various neurogenerative disorders but it also targets proteasomal degradation including mediation of cellular signaling pathways. Thus, drugs targeting UPP not only may show effect against diabetes but also are therapeutically beneficial in the treatment of diabetes-associated complications which may be obtained. Thus, based on the available information and data on UPP functions, it can be concluded that regulation of UPP pathway via downstream regulators mainly E1, E2, and E3 may bring promising results. Drugs targeting these transcriptional factors may emerge as a novel therapy in the treatment of diabetes and diabetes-associated complications.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of developing heart failure, and the co-existence of both diseases worsens cardiovascular outcomes, hospitalization and the progression of heart failure. Despite current advancements on therapeutic strategies to manage hyperglycemia, the likelihood of developing diabetes-induced heart failure is still significant, especially with the accelerating global prevalence of diabetes and an ageing population. This raises the likelihood of other contributing mechanisms beyond hyperglycemia in predisposing diabetic patients to cardiovascular disease risk. There has been considerable interest in understanding the alterations in cardiac structure and function in the diabetic patients, collectively termed as "diabetic cardiomyopathy". However, the factors that contribute to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathies is not fully understood. This review summarizes the main characteristics of diabetic cardiomyopathies, and the basic mechanisms that contribute to its occurrence. This includes perturbations in insulin resistance, fuel preference, reactive oxygen species generation, inflammation, cell death pathways, neurohormonal mechanisms, advanced glycated end-products accumulation, lipotoxicity, glucotoxicity, and posttranslational modifications in the heart of the diabetic. This review also discusses the impact of antihyperglycemic therapies on the development of heart failure, as well as how current heart failure therapies influence glycemic control in diabetic patients. We also highlight the current knowledge gaps in understanding how diabetes induces heart failure.

Functional and Adaptive Significance of Promoter Mutations That Affect Divergent Myocardial Expressions of TRIM72 in Primates. Mol Biol Evol 2021; 38:2930-2945.

Abstract
Cis-regulatory elements play important roles in tissue-specific gene expression and in the evolution of various phenotypes, and mutations in promoters and enhancers may be responsible for adaptations of species to environments. TRIM72 is a highly conserved protein that is involved in energy metabolism. Its expression in the heart varies considerably in primates, with high levels of expression in Old World monkeys and near absence in hominids. Here, we combine phylogenetic hypothesis testing and experimentation to demonstrate that mutations in promoter are responsible for the differences among primate species in the heart-specific expression of TRIM72. Maximum likelihood estimates of lineage-specific substitution rates under local-clock models show that relative to the evolutionary rate of introns, the rate of promoter was accelerated by 78% in the common ancestor of Old World monkeys, suggesting a role for positive selection in the evolution of the TRIM72 promoter, possibly driven by selective pressure due to changes in cardiac physiology after species divergence. We demonstrate that mutations in the TRIM72 promoter account for the differential myocardial TRIM72 expression of the human and the rhesus macaque. Furthermore, changes in TRIM72 expression alter the expression of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, which in turn affects mitochondrial respiration and cardiac energy capacity. On a broader timescale, phylogenetic regression analyses of data from 29 mammalian species show that mammals with high cardiac expression of TRIM72 have high heart rate, suggesting that the expression changes of TRIM72 may be related to differences in the heart physiology of those species.

Negative regulation of AMPK signaling by high glucose via E3 ubiquitin ligase MG53. Mol Cell 2021; 81:629-637.e5. [PMID: 33400924 DOI: 10.1016/j.molcel.2020.12.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2020] [Revised: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
As a master regulator of metabolism, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is activated upon energy and glucose shortage but suppressed upon overnutrition. Exaggerated negative regulation of AMPK signaling by nutrient overload plays a crucial role in metabolic diseases. However, the mechanism underlying the negative regulation is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that high glucose represses AMPK signaling via MG53 (also called TRIM72) E3-ubiquitin-ligase-mediated AMPKα degradation and deactivation. Specifically, high-glucose-stimulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) signals AKT to phosphorylate AMPKα at S485/491, which facilitates the recruitment of MG53 and the subsequent ubiquitination and degradation of AMPKα. In addition, high glucose deactivates AMPK by ROS-dependent suppression of phosphorylation of AMPKα at T172. These findings not only delineate the mechanism underlying the impairment of AMPK signaling in overnutrition-related diseases but also highlight the significance of keeping the yin-yang balance of AMPK signaling in the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis.
