Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), characterized by repeated narrow or collapse of the upper airway during sleep, resulting in periodic reductions or cessations in ventilation, consequent hypoxia, hypercapnia, increased sympathetic activity and sleep fragmentation, places a serious burden on society and health care. Intermittent hypoxia (IH), which cause central nervous system (CNS) inflammation, and ultimately lead to neuropathy, is thought to be a crucial contributor to cognitive impairment in OSAS. Wnt signaling pathway exerts an important role in the regulation of CNS disorders. Particularly, it may be involved in the regulation of neuroinflammation and cognitive dysfunction. However, its underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Accumulating evidence demonstrated that Wnt signaling pathway may inhibited in a variety of neurological disorders. Recently studies revealed that SUMOylation was participated in the regulation of neuroinflammation. Members of Wnt/β-catenin pathway may be targets of SUMOylation. In vitro and in vivo molecular biology experiments explored the regulatory mechanism of SUMOylation on Wnt/β-catenin in IH-induced neuroinflammation and neuronal injury, which demonstrated that IH induced the SUMOylation of β-catenin, microglia mediated inflammation and neuronal damage. Moreover, SENP1 regulated the de-SUMOylation of β-catenin, triggered Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and alleviated neuroinflammation and neuronal injury, thus improving IH-related mice cognitive dysfunction.

[PMID: 36939936 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-023-07686-7] [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: 10/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/12/2023] [Indexed: 03/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) and chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (CIOM) are common complications in cancer patients, leading to negative clinical manifestations, reduced quality of life, and unsatisfactory treatment outcomes. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to identify potential molecular mechanisms and candidate drugs by data mining. METHODS We obtained a preliminary list of genes associated with RIOM and CIOM. In-depth information on these genes was explored by functional and enrichment analyses. Then, the drug-gene interaction database was used to determine the interaction of the final enriched gene list with known drugs and analyze the drug candidates. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION This study identified 21 hub genes that may play an important role in RIOM and CIOM, respectively. Through our data mining, bioinformatics survey, and candidate drug selection, TNF, IL-6, and TLR9 could play an important role in disease progression and treatment. In addition, eight candidate drugs (olokizumab, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, adalimumab, etanercept, golimumab, infliximab, and thalidomide) were selected by the drug-gene interaction literature search additionally, as candidates for treating RIOM and CIOM.

Combined Exposure to 33 Trace Elements and Associations With the Risk of Oral Cancer: A Large-Scale Case-Control Study. Front Nutr 2022; 9:913357. [PMID: 35873417 PMCID: PMC9301066 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.913357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Trace elements exist widely in the natural environment and mostly enter the human body through drinking water or various types of food, which has raised increasing health concerns. Exposure to a single or a few trace elements has been previously reported to be associated with oral cancer risk, but studies on other elements and combined effects are limited. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the independent and joint effects of 33 trace elements on oral cancer risk. Methods The concentrations of 33 trace elements from the serum samples of 463 cases and 1,343 controls were measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Propensity score matching was used to minimize the impact of potential confounders. Conditional logistic regression was utilized to evaluate the association of each element individually with oral cancer risk. Quantile g-computation and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) models were used to assess the joint effect of the overall element mixture and interactions. Results In single-element models, essential elements (Cu, Se, Zn, Sr, and Cr) and non-essential elements (As, Li, Th, Ce, Ti, and Sc) showed significant association with oral cancer risk. In multiple-element models, a quartile increase in overall non-essential elements was observed for a significant inverse association with oral cancer risk (β = −3.36, 95% CI: −4.22 to −2.51). The BKMR analysis revealed a potential beneficial joint effect of essential metals on the risk of oral cancer. Among these, higher levels of serum Zn and V exhibited an adverse effect, while serum Sr, Se, and Cu displayed favorable effects when all other essential elements were fixed at 25th or 50th percentiles. Of note, Se performed complex interactions among essential metals. As for non-essential elements, there were greater effect estimates for serum Th, Li, and Y when all other elements were held at the 75th percentile. Conclusion This study provides supportive evidence that the overall mixture effect of essential and non-essential elements might be associated with oral cancer risk, especially for serum Zn, V, Cu, Sr, Se, Th, Li, and Y. Extensive prospective studies and other experiments are warranted to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (RIOM/CIOM) is a common complication in cancer patients, leading to negative clinical manifestations, reduced quality of life, and impacting compliance with anticancer treatment. The composition and metabolic function of the oral microbiome, as well as the innate immune response of the oral mucosa are severely altered during chemotherapy or radiotherapy, promoting the expression of inflammatory mediators by direct and indirect mechanisms. Commensal oral bacteria-mediated innate immune signaling via Toll-like receptors (TLRs) ambiguously shapes radiotherapy- and/or chemotherapy-induced oral damage. To date, there has been no comprehensive overview of the role of TLRs in RIOM/CIOM. This review aims to provide a narrative of the involvement of TLRs, including TLR2, TLR4, TLR5, and TLR9, in RIOM/CIOM, mainly by mediating the interaction between the host and microorganisms. As such, we suggest that these TLR signaling pathways are a novel mechanism of RIOM/CIOM with considerable potential for use in therapeutic interventions. More studies are needed in the future to investigate the role of different TLRs in RIOM/CIOM to provide a reference for the precise control of RIOM/CIOM.

METTL3-mediated m 6A RNA methylation regulates dorsal lingual epithelium homeostasis. Int J Oral Sci 2022; 14:26. [PMID: 35581183 PMCID: PMC9114113 DOI: 10.1038/s41368-022-00176-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2022] [Revised: 04/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The dorsal lingual epithelium, which is composed of taste buds and keratinocytes differentiated from K14+ basal cells, discriminates taste compounds and maintains the epithelial barrier. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant mRNA modification in eukaryotic cells. How METTL3-mediated m6A modification regulates K14+ basal cell fate during dorsal lingual epithelium formation and regeneration remains unclear. Here we show knockout of Mettl3 in K14+ cells reduced the taste buds and enhanced keratinocytes. Deletion of Mettl3 led to increased basal cell proliferation and decreased cell division in taste buds. Conditional Mettl3 knock-in mice showed little impact on taste buds or keratinization, but displayed increased proliferation of cells around taste buds in a protective manner during post-irradiation recovery. Mechanically, we revealed that the most frequent m6A modifications were enriched in Hippo and Wnt signaling, and specific peaks were observed near the stop codons of Lats1 and FZD7. Our study elucidates that METTL3 is essential for taste bud formation and could promote the quantity recovery of taste bud after radiation.
