Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a common disease with a high disability rate and mortality, which brings heavy pressure on families and medical insurance. Nowadays, the golden treatments for ischemic stroke in the acute phase mainly include endovascular therapy and intravenous thrombolysis. Some drugs are used to alleviate brain injury in patients with ischemic stroke, such as edaravone and 3-n-butylphthalide. However, no effective neuroprotective drug for ischemic stroke has been acknowledged. 2-Oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases (2OGDDs) are conserved and common dioxygenases whose activities depend on O2, Fe2+, and 2OG. Most 2OGDDs are expressed in the brain and are essential for the development and functions of the brain. Therefore, 2OGDDs likely play essential roles in ischemic brain injury. In this review, we briefly elucidate the functions of most 2OGDDs, particularly the effects of regulations of 2OGDDs on various cells in different phases after ischemic stroke. It would also provide promising potential therapeutic targets and directions of drug development for protecting the brain against ischemic injury and improving outcomes of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Histone lysine demethylases (KDMs) play an essential role in biological processes such as transcription regulation, RNA maturation, transposable element control, and genome damage sensing and repair. In most cases, their action requires catalytic activities, but non-catalytic functions have also been shown in some KDMs. Indeed, some strictly KDM-related proteins and some KDM isoforms do not act as histone demethylase but show other enzymatic activities or relevant non-enzymatic functions in different cell types. Moreover, many studies have reported on functions potentially supported by catalytically dead mutant KDMs. This is probably due to the versatility of the catalytical core, which can adapt to assume different molecular functions, and to the complex multi-domain structure of these proteins which encompasses functional modules for targeting histone modifications, promoting protein-protein interactions, or recognizing nucleic acid structural motifs. This rich modularity and the availability of multiple isoforms in the various classes produced variants with enzymatic functions aside from histone demethylation or variants with non-catalytical functions during the evolution. In this review we will catalog the proteins with null or questionable demethylase activity and predicted or validated inactive isoforms, summarizing what is known about their alternative functions. We will then go through some experimental evidence for the non-catalytical functions of active KDMs.

[PMID: 38863713 PMCID: PMC11165093 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1370738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as an autoimmune disease can relate to an imbalance between regulatory T cells (Tregs) and Th17 cells. Previous reports have shown that Myc-induced nuclear antigen (Mina) 53 protein is involved in the developments of Tregs and Th17 cells. Therefore, the current study focused on determining whether Mina53 level is correlated to the severity of SLE. Methods The blood samples were collected from 60 patients with SLE (30 cases with mild SLE and 30 cases with severe SLE) and 30 healthy subjects. The serum concentration of Mina53 was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of Mina53 gene was assessed using real-time PCR method after extracting RNA from isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells and synthesizing cDNA. Results Patients with SLE showed significant increases in the serum level and gene expression of Mina53 compared to healthy subjects (P<0.001). Furthermore, serum level and gene expression of Mina53 showed significant effects on SLE disease and its severity (P<0.01). There was the highest sensitivity and maximum specificity in the cut-off point of Mina53 serum level equal to 125.4 (area under the curve (AUC)=0.951) and Mina53 expression level equal to 8.5 (AUC=0.88) for SLE diagnosis. The cut-off point of Mina53 serum level equal to 139.5 (AUC=0.854) and the cut-off point of Mina53 expression level equal to 8.5 (AUC=0.788) had the highest sensitivity and maximum specificity determining severe forms of SLE. Discussion Our results showed that the changes in serum and expression levels of Mina53 have significant effects on SLE disease and its severity. These levels may be considered as diagnostic and predictive markers for SLE.

Abstract
Non-haem Fe(ii) and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) dependent oxygenases catalyse oxidation of multiple proteins in organisms ranging from bacteria to humans. We describe studies on the substrate selectivity and inhibition of the human ribosomal oxygenases (ROX) MINA53 and NO66, members of the JmjC 2OG oxygenase subfamily, which catalyse C-3 hydroxylation of histidine residues in Rpl27a and Rpl8, respectively. Assays with natural and unnatural histidine analogues incorporated into Rpl peptides provide evidence that MINA53 and NO66 have narrow substrate selectivities compared to some other human JmjC hydroxylases, including factor inhibiting HIF and JMJD6. Notably, the results of inhibition assays with Rpl peptides containing histidine analogues with acyclic side chains, including Asn, Gln and homoGln, suggest the activities of MINA53/NO66, and by implication related 2OG dependent protein hydroxylases/demethylases, might be regulated in vivo by competition with non-oxidised proteins/peptides. The inhibition results also provide avenues for development of inhibitors selective for MINA53 and NO66.

Abstract
Biomimetic calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) as a bioactive material exhibits exceptional intrinsic osteoinductive and osteogenic properties because of its nanostructure and composition, which promote a favorable microenvironment. Its high reactivity has been hypothesized to play a relevant role in the in vivo performance, mediated by the interaction with the biological fluids, which is amplified by its high specific surface area. Paradoxically, this high reactivity is also behind the in vitro cytotoxicity of this material, especially pronounced in static conditions. The present work explores the structural and physicochemical changes that CDHA undergoes in contact with physiological fluids and to investigate its interaction with proteins. Calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite discs with different micro/nanostructures, coarse (C) and fine (F), were exposed to cell-free complete culture medium over extended periods of time: 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 50 days. Precipitate formation was not observed in any of the materials in contact with the physiological fluid, which would indicate that the ionic exchanges were linked to incorporation into the crystal structure of CDHA or in the hydrated layer. In fact, CDHA experienced a maturation process, with a progressive increase in crystallinity and the Ca/P ratio, accompanied by an uptake of Mg and a B-type carbonation process, with a gradual propagation into the core of the samples. However, the reactivity of biomimetic hydroxyapatite was highly dependent on the specific surface area and was amplified in nanosized needle-like crystal structures (F), whereas in coarse specimens the ionic exchanges were restricted to the surface, with low penetration in the material bulk. In addition to showing a higher protein adsorption on F substrates, the proteomics study revealed the existence of protein selectivity toward F or C microstructures, as well as the capability of CDHA, and more remarkably of F-CDHA, to concentrate specific proteins from the culture medium. Finally, a substantial improvement in the material's ability to support cell proliferation was observed after the CDHA maturation process.

Abstract
2-Oxoglutarate (2OG) oxygenases have important roles in human biology and are validated medicinal chemistry targets. Improving the selectivity profile of broad-spectrum 2OG oxygenase inhibitors may help enable the identification of selective inhibitors for use in functional assignment work. We report the synthesis of F- and CF3-substituted derivatives of the broad-spectrum 2OG oxygenase inhibitor pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylate (2,4-PDCA). Their inhibition selectivity profile against selected functionally distinct human 2OG oxygenases was determined using mass spectrometry-based assays. F-substituted 2,4-PDCA derivatives efficiently inhibit the 2OG oxygenases aspartate/asparagine-β-hydroxylase (AspH) and the JmjC lysine-specific N ε-demethylase 4E (KDM4E); The F- and CF3-substituted 2,4-PDCA derivatives were all less efficient inhibitors of the tested 2OG oxygenases than 2,4-PDCA itself, except for the C5 F-substituted 2,4-PDCA derivative which inhibited AspH with a similar efficiency as 2,4-PDCA. Notably, the introduction of a F- or CF3-substituent at the C5 position of 2,4-PDCA results in a substantial increase in selectivity for AspH over KDM4E compared to 2,4-PDCA. Crystallographic studies inform on the structural basis of our observations, which exemplifies how a small change on a 2OG analogue can make a substantial difference in the potency of 2OG oxygenase inhibition.
