Phospholipase PLA2G7 is complementary to GPX4 in mitigating punicic-acid-induced ferroptosis in prostate cancer cells. iScience 2024; 27:109774. [PMID: 38711443 PMCID: PMC11070704 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.109774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Ferroptosis is a cell death pathway that can be promoted by peroxidizable polyunsaturated fatty acids in cancer cells. Here, we investigated the mechanisms underlying the toxicity of punicic acid (PunA), an isomer of conjugated linolenic acids (CLnAs) bearing three conjugated double bonds highly prone to peroxidation, on prostate cancer (PCa) cells. PunA induced ferroptosis in PCa cells and triggered massive lipidome remodeling, more strongly in PC3 androgen-negative cells than in androgen-positive cells. The greater sensitivity of androgen-negative cells to PunA was associated with lower expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). We then identified the phospholipase PLA2G7 as a PunA-induced ferroptosis suppressor in PCa cells. Overexpressing PLA2G7 decreased lipid peroxidation levels, suggesting that PLA2G7 hydrolyzes hydroperoxide-containing phospholipids, thus preventing ferroptosis. Importantly, overexpressing both PLA2G7 and GPX4 strongly prevented PunA-induced ferroptosis in androgen-negative PCa cells. This study shows that PLA2G7 acts complementary to GPX4 to protect PCa cells from CLnA-induced ferroptosis.

Abstract
Synchronized ferroptosis contributes to nephron loss in acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the propagation signals and the underlying mechanisms of the synchronized ferroptosis for renal tubular injury remain unresolved. Here we report that platelet-activating factor (PAF) and PAF-like phospholipids (PAF-LPLs) mediated synchronized ferroptosis and contributed to AKI. The emergence of PAF and PAF-LPLs in ferroptosis caused the instability of biomembranes and signaled the cell death of neighboring cells. This cascade could be suppressed by PAF-acetylhydrolase (II) (PAFAH2) or by addition of antibodies against PAF. Genetic knockout or pharmacological inhibition of PAFAH2 increased PAF production, augmented synchronized ferroptosis and exacerbated ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced AKI. Notably, intravenous administration of wild-type PAFAH2 protein, but not its enzymatically inactive mutants, prevented synchronized tubular cell death, nephron loss and AKI. Our findings offer an insight into the mechanisms of synchronized ferroptosis and suggest a possibility for the preventive intervention of AKI.

The bone marrow niche from the inside out: how megakaryocytes are shaped by and shape hematopoiesis. Blood 2022; 139:483-491.

Abstract
Megakaryocytes (MKs), the largest of the hematopoietic cells, are responsible for producing platelets by extending and depositing long proplatelet extensions into the bloodstream. The traditional view of megakaryopoiesis describes the cellular journey from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) along the myeloid branch of hematopoiesis. However, recent studies suggest that MKs can be generated from multiple pathways, some of which do not require transit through multipotent or bipotent MK-erythroid progenitor stages in steady-state and emergency conditions. Growing evidence suggests that these emergency conditions are due to stress-induced molecular changes in the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment, also called the BM niche. These changes can result from insults that affect the BM cellular composition, microenvironment, architecture, or a combination of these factors. In this review, we explore MK development, focusing on recent studies showing that MKs can be generated from multiple divergent pathways. We highlight how the BM niche may encourage and alter these processes using different mechanisms of communication, such as direct cell-to-cell contact, secreted molecules (autocrine and paracrine signaling), and the release of cellular components (eg, extracellular vesicles). We also explore how MKs can actively build and shape the surrounding BM niche.

Abstract
The process of hematopoiesis is subject to substantial ontogenic remodeling that is accompanied by alterations in cellular fate during both development and disease. We combine state-of-the-art mass spectrometry with extensive functional assays to gain insight into ontogeny-specific proteomic mechanisms regulating hematopoiesis. Through deep coverage of the cellular proteome of fetal and adult lympho-myeloid multipotent progenitors (LMPPs), common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs), and granulocyte-monocyte progenitors (GMPs), we establish that features traditionally attributed to adult hematopoiesis are conserved across lymphoid and myeloid lineages, whereas generic fetal features are suppressed in GMPs. We reveal molecular and functional evidence for a diminished granulocyte differentiation capacity in fetal LMPPs and GMPs relative to their adult counterparts. Our data indicate an ontogeny-specific requirement of myosin activity for myelopoiesis in LMPPs. Finally, we uncover an ontogenic shift in the monocytic differentiation capacity of GMPs, partially driven by a differential expression of Irf8 during fetal and adult life.

Abstract
The blood vascular system of mammals is unique in nature; inhabited with a pool of tiny small cell fragments called platelets; attributed with the most important patrolling tasks to check integrity of the entire endothelial landscape. Their production is tightly coupled with hematopoietic system where everything starts from self renewable multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) which eventually undergo dual step (megakaryopoiesis-thrombopoiesis) thrombocytes production. Several cytokines tune the fate of every progenitor cells during hematopoiesis through temporal activation of specific transcription factors. Though platelets generated through steady state hematopoiesis are involved in the regulation of vascular homeostasis, these cells can sense pathogens through its innate immune sensors and can mount crucial responses against the invading pathogen. For this, the primary aim of many infections including Leishmania is to induce thrombocytopenia within infected host. But the underlying mechanism of this induced thrombocytopenia in Leishmania infection has not been evaluated. Elucidation of these mechanisms will be fruitful to design new chemotherapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Inflammation is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) mediates vascular inflammation through the regulation of lipid metabolism in blood, thus, it has been extensively investigated to identify its role in vascular inflammation-related diseases, mainly atherosclerosis. Although darapladib, the most advanced Lp-PLA2 inhibitor, failed to meet the primary endpoints of two large phase III trials in atherosclerosis patients cotreated with standard medical care, the research on Lp-PLA2 has not been terminated. Novel pathogenic, epidemiologic, genetic, and crystallographic studies regarding Lp-PLA2 have been reported recently, while novel inhibitors were identified through a fragment-based lead discovery strategy. More strikingly, recent clinical and preclinical studies revealed that Lp-PLA2 inhibition showed promising therapeutic effects in diabetic macular edema and Alzheimer's disease. In this review, we not only summarized the knowledge of Lp-PLA2 established in the past decades but also emphasized new findings in recent years. We hope this review could be valuable for helping researchers acquire a much deeper insight into the nature of Lp-PLA2, identify more potent and selective Lp-PLA2 inhibitors, and discover the potential indications of Lp-PLA2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Platelets are essential for physiological hemostasis and are central in pathological thrombosis. These are their traditional and best known activities in health and disease. In addition, however, platelets have specializations that broaden their functional repertoire considerably. These functional capabilities, some of which are recently discovered, include the ability to sense and respond to infectious and immune signals and to act as inflammatory effector cells. Human platelets and platelets from mice and other experimental animals can link the innate and adaptive limbs of the immune system and act across the immune continuum, often also linking immune and hemostatic functions. Traditional and newly recognized facets of the biology of platelets are relevant to defensive, physiological immune responses of the lungs and to inflammatory lung diseases. The emerging view of platelets as blood cells that are much more diverse and versatile than previously thought further predicts that additional features of the biology of platelets and of megakaryocytes, the precursors of platelets, will be discovered and that some of these will also influence pulmonary immune defenses and inflammatory injury.

Abstract
This study analyzed the onset of lipid peroxidation (LPO) in neuroborreliosis and the effects of ceftriaxone therapy on LPO. Twenty-two patients with early neuroborreliosis and 22 healthy subjects were studied. LPO in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), as well as the plasma and urine was estimated by the levels of reactive aldehydes: 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), 4-hydroxyhexenal, malondialdehyde, and 4-oxononenal, F2-isoprostanes and A4/J4-neuroprostanes (NPs). The plasma level of 4-HNE-protein adducts arachidonic acid (AA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and vitamin E was determined. Additionally, enzymatic activities of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were determined. A decrease of AA, DHA levels and GSH-Px activity in plasma was associated with a significant increase of aldehydes in the CSF, plasma and urine. Similarly, the increase of F2-isoprostanes and NPs in the CSF and plasma was associated with the decreased activity of PLA2 and PAF-AH. Ceftriaxone therapy cured patients and reduced the levels of F2-isoprostanes, NPs and reactive aldehydes. However, the activities of PLA2 and PAF-AH increased. Pathophysiological association of neuroborreliosis with systemic LPO was revealed. Effective antibiotic therapy attenuated LPO. Biomarkers of LPO could be useful to monitor the onset of neuroborreliosis and show the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Several epidemiological studies propose the association of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to estimate the possible onset of systemic lipid peroxidation in RA patients and its relevance for pathophysiology and monitoring of RA. Seventy-three patients with RA and 73 healthy subjects were included in the study. Lipid peroxidation was estimated by the measurement of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), 4-hydroxyhexenal, malondialdehyde, acrolein, crotonaldehyde, 4-oxononenal, and isoprostanes (8-isoPGF(2α)) levels. Cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)), platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities and vitamin E levels were also determined. In parallel, the plasma levels of phospholipid arachidonic acid (AA), linoleic acid (LA), and 4-HNE-protein adducts were monitored. Plasma of RA patients had increased vitamin E levels, but decreased GSH-Px activity and phospholipid AA and LA levels when compared to levels of the healthy subjects. The levels of aldehydes were significantly increased in the plasma of the RA patients and even more in urine. Significant increases in HNE-modified protein adducts was observed for the first time in plasma of RA patients, while the activities of PAF-AH and cPLA(2) were decreased. The 8-isoPGF(2α) levels were 9-fold higher in plasma and 3-fold higher in urine of RA patients and were related to the severity of disease. The levels of lipid peroxidation products in plasma and in urine suggest the relationship between lipid peroxidation and the development of RA. Additionally, urine 8-isoPGF(2α), plasma 4-HNE and 4-HNE-protein adducts appear to be convenient biomarkers to monitor progression of this autoimmune disease.

Abstract
This chapter is focused on the plasma form of PAF-acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH), a lipoprotein-bound, calcium-independent phospholipase A2 activity also referred to as lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 and PLA2G7. PAF-AH catalyzes the removal of the acyl group at the sn-2 position of PAF and truncated phospholipids generated in settings of inflammation and oxidant stress. Here, I discuss current knowledge related to the structural features of this enzyme, including the molecular basis for association with lipoproteins and susceptibility to oxidative inactivation. The circulating form of PAF-AH is constitutively active and its expression is upregulated by mediators of inflammation at the transcriptional level. Several new mechanisms of regulation have been identified in recent years, including effects mediated by PPARs, VEGFR, and the state of cellular differentiation. Moreover, I discuss recent studies describing significant variations in the structure and regulation of PAF-AH from diverse species, which is likely to have important implications for the function of this enzyme in vivo.

Abstract
Platelets are generated from nucleated precursors referred to as megakaryocytes. The formation of platelets is one of the most elegant and unique developmental processes in eukaryotes. Because they enter the circulation without nuclei, platelets are often considered simple, non-complex cells that have limited functions beyond halting blood flow. However, emerging evidence over the past decade demonstrates that platelets are more sophisticated than previously considered. Platelets carry a rich repertoire of messenger RNAs (mRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and proteins that contribute to primary (adhesion, aggregation, secretion) and alternative (immune regulation, RNA transfer, translation) functions. It is also becoming increasingly clear that the 'genetic code' of platelets changes with race, genetic disorders, or disease. Changes in the 'genetic code' can occur at multiple points including megakaryocyte development, platelet formation, or in circulating platelets. This review focuses on regulation of the 'genetic code' in megakaryocytes and platelets and its potential contribution to health and disease.

Abstract
The proteasome inhibiter bortezomib has been successfully used to treat patients with relapsed multiple myeloma; however, many of these patients become thrombocytopenic, and it is not clear how the proteasome influences platelet production. Here we determined that pharmacologic inhibition of proteasome activity blocks proplatelet formation in human and mouse megakaryocytes. We also found that megakaryocytes isolated from mice deficient for PSMC1, an essential subunit of the 26S proteasome, fail to produce proplatelets. Consistent with decreased proplatelet formation, mice lacking PSMC1 in platelets (Psmc1(fl/fl) Pf4-Cre mice) exhibited severe thrombocytopenia and died shortly after birth. The failure to produce proplatelets in proteasome-inhibited megakaryocytes was due to upregulation and hyperactivation of the small GTPase, RhoA, rather than NF-κB, as has been previously suggested. Inhibition of RhoA or its downstream target, Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK), restored megakaryocyte proplatelet formation in the setting of proteasome inhibition in vitro. Similarly, fasudil, a ROCK inhibitor used clinically to treat cerebral vasospasm, restored platelet counts in adult mice that were made thrombocytopenic by tamoxifen-induced suppression of proteasome activity in megakaryocytes and platelets (Psmc1(fl/fl) Pdgf-Cre-ER mice). These results indicate that proteasome function is critical for thrombopoiesis, and suggest inhibition of RhoA signaling as a potential strategy to treat thrombocytopenia in bortezomib-treated multiple myeloma patients.

Abstract
A comprehensive knowledge of the platelet proteome is necessary for understanding thrombosis and for envisioning antiplatelet therapies. To discover other biochemical pathways in human platelets, we screened platelets with a carbamate library designed to interrogate the serine hydrolase subproteome and used competitive activity-based protein profiling to map the targets of active carbamates. We identified an inhibitor that targets arylacetamide deacetylase-like 1 (AADACL1), a lipid deacetylase originally identified in invasive cancers. Using this compound, along with highly selective second-generation inhibitors of AADACL1, metabolomics, and RNA interference, we show that AADACL1 regulates platelet aggregation, thrombus growth, RAP1 and PKC activation, lipid metabolism, and fibrinogen binding to platelets and megakaryocytes. These data provide evidence that AADACL1 regulates platelet and megakaryocyte activation and highlight the value of this chemoproteomic strategy for target discovery in platelets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Phospholipase A2, group 7 (Pla2g7) is an important mediator in cardiovascular development and diseases because of its divergent physiological and pathological functions in inflammation and oxidative stress. However, little is known about the functional role of Pla2g7 in smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation from stem cells. METHODS AND RESULTS In the present study, embryonic stem cells were cultivated on collagen IV-coated plates to allow SMC differentiation. Pla2g7 gene expression and activity were upregulated significantly following 4 to 14 days of cell differentiation and colocalized with SMC differentiation markers in the differentiated SMCs. Knockdown of Pla2g7 resulted in downregulation of smooth muscle-specific markers in vitro and impairment of SMC differentiation in vivo, whereas enforced expression of Pla2g7 enhanced SMC differentiation and increased reactive oxygen species generation. Importantly, enforced expression of Pla2g7 significantly increased the binding of serum response factor to SMC differentiation gene promoters, resulting in SMC differentiation, which was abolished by free radical scavenger and flavoprotein inhibitor of NADPH oxidase but not hydrogen peroxide inhibitor. Moreover, we demonstrated that nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 3 (Nrf3) regulates Pla2g7 gene expression through direct binding to the promoter regions of Pla2g7 gene. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrated that Pla2g7 plays a crucial physiological role in SMC differentiation from stem cells, and the fine interactions between Nrf3 and Pla2g7 are essential for SMC differentiation.

Abstract
Megakaryocytes transfer a diverse and functional transcriptome to platelets during the final stages of thrombopoiesis. In platelets, these transcripts reflect the expression of their corresponding proteins and, in some cases, serve as a template for translation. It is not known, however, if megakaryocytes differentially sort mRNAs into platelets. Given their critical role in vascular remodeling and inflammation, we determined whether megakaryocytes selectively dispense transcripts for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) into platelets. Next-generation sequencing (RNA-Seq) revealed that megakaryocytes express mRNA for 10 of the 24 human MMP family members. mRNA for all of these MMPs are present in platelets with the exception of MMP-2, 14, and 15. Megakaryocytes and platelets also express mRNA for TIMPs 1-3, but not TIMP-4. mRNA expression patterns predicted the presence and, in most cases, the abundance of each corresponding protein. Nonetheless, exceptions were observed: MMP-2 protein is present in platelets but not its transcript. In contrast, quiescent platelets express TIMP-2 mRNA but only traces of TIMP-2 protein. In response to activating signals, however, platelets synthesize significant amounts of TIMP-2 protein. These results demonstrate that megakaryocytes differentially express mRNAs for MMPs and TIMPs and selectively transfer a subset of these into platelets. Among the platelet messages, TIMP-2 serves as a template for signal-dependent translation.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation products, malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and [Formula: see text], were determined in the plasma and urine of patients with Lyme arthritis and healthy people. The group consisted of 19 patients with Lyme arthritis (mean age 47 years) and the control group consisted of 16 healthy individuals (mean age 38 years). Diagnosis of Lyme disease was confirmed by epidemiological anamnesis, clinical manifestation of arthritis and serological examinations. Lipid peroxidation was estimated by the measurement of aldehydes (MDA and 4-HNE, determined by high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC]) and prostaglandin derivatives (8 - isoPGF(2a), determined by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry [LC/MS]). MDA and 4-HNE levels were increased about 2-4-fold in the plasma, while in the urine, the increases were about 2-fold. More significant increases were noted for the 8 - isoPGF(2a) total plasma level, which was enhanced over 4-fold, and for the urine 8 - isoPGF(2a) level, which was increased over 8-fold. The 8 - isoPGF(2a) total plasma level consists of free and esterified form. During infection, the ratio of free to esterified form is significantly smaller compared to healthy people. The ratio of free to esterified form of 8 - isoPGF(2a) may be a useful indicator of Lyme arthritis. Moreover, the complementarities of three lipid peroxidation product levels may be helpful in the diagnosis of Lyme arthritis.

Abstract
The platelet-activating factor (PAF) signaling cascade evolved as a component of the repertoire of innate host defenses, but is also an effector pathway in inflammatory and thrombotic diseases. This review focuses on the PAF signaling cascade in systemic inflammatory responses and, specifically, explores its activities in experimental and clinical sepsis and anaphylaxis in the context of the basic biochemistry and biology of signaling via this lipid mediator system.
