Abstract
Corneal ulcers, characterized by severe inflammation of the cornea, can lead to serious, debilitating complications and may be vision-threatening for horses. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in corneal stem progenitor cell (CSSC) dysfunction and explore the potential of equine adipose-derived stromal stem cell (ASC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) to improve corneal wound healing. We showed that CSSCs expressed high levels of CD44, CD45, and CD90 surface markers, indicating their stemness. Supplementation of the ER-stress-inducer tunicamycin to CSSCs resulted in reduced proliferative and migratory potential, accumulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stressed cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle, increased expression of proinflammatory genes, induced oxidative stress and sustained ER stress, and unfolded protein response (UPR). Importantly, treatment with EVs increased the proliferative activity and number of cells in the G2/Mitosis phase, enhanced migratory ability, suppressed the overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines, and upregulated the anti-inflammatory miRNA-146a-5p, compared to control and/or ER-stressed cells. Additionally, EVs lowered the expression of ER-stress master regulators and effectors (PERK, IRE1, ATF6, and XBP1), increased the number of mitochondria, and reduced the expression of Fis-1 and Parkin, thereby promoting metabolic homeostasis and protecting against apoptosis in equine CSSCs. Our findings demonstrate that MSCs-derived EVs represent an innovative and promising therapeutic strategy for the transfer of bioactive mediators which regulate various cellular and molecular signaling pathways.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence indicating that global temperatures are rising significantly, a phenomenon commonly referred to as 'global warming', which in turn is believed to be causing drastic changes to the global climate. Global warming (GW) directly impacts animal health, reproduction, production, and welfare, presenting several challenges to livestock enterprises. Thermal stress (TS) is one of the key consequences of GW, and all animal species, including livestock, have diverse physiological, epigenetic and genetic mechanisms to respond to TS. As a result, TS can significantly affect an animals' health, immune responsiveness, metabolic pathways etc. which can also influence the productivity, performance, and welfare of animals. Moreover, prolonged exposure to TS can lead to transgenerational and intergenerational changes that are mediated by epigenetic changes. For example, in several animal species, the effects of TS are encoded epigenetically during the animals' growth or productive stage, and these epigenetic changes can be transmitted intergenerationally. Such epigenetic changes can affect animal productivity by changing the phenotype so that it aligns with its ancestors' environment, irrespective of its immediate environment. Furthermore, epigenetic and genetic changes can also help protect cells from the adverse effects of TS by modulating the transcriptional status of heat-responsive genes in animals. This review focuses on the genetic and epigenetic modulation and regulation that occurs in TS conditions via HSPs, histone alterations and DNA methylation.

Matrine alleviates spatial learning and memory impairment in diabetic mice by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress and through modulation of PK2/PKRs pathway. Neurochem Int 2022; 154:105289.

Abstract
Clinical and epidemiological studies indicate that diabetic cognitive impairment often occurs in diabetes mellitus patients. Matrine (Mat), an active component of Sophora flavescens Ait root extracts, has widely pharmacological activities including anti-tumor, anti-diabetes, cardioprotective and neuroprotective effects. The present study was designed to elucidate the possibly neuroprotective effects of Mat against diabetic spatial learning and memory impairment caused by high-fat diet and streptozotocin injection in mice. The results showed that Mat treatment significantly ameliorated fasting blood glucose level, impaired glucose tolerance, and lipid metabolism disorder in diabetic mice. In addition, diabetic mice exhibited spatial learning and memory impairment in the Morris water maze test, which could be attenuated by Mat treatment. Moreover, administration of Mat remarkably alleviated histological damage in diabetic hippocampus. Also, further investigations showed that Mat treatment abated endoplasmic reticulum stress induced hippocampal ultra-structure injury as evidenced by increasing the numbers of rough endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, as well as down-regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress related protein levels (GRP78, CHOP, ATF6 and Caspase-12). Furthermore, administration of Mat enhanced hippocampal protein expressions of PK2, PKR1 and PKR2, which decreased significantly in diabetic mice. Collectively, these findings suggested that Mat could ameliorate diabetes-induced spatial learning and memory impairment, possibly by alleviating ER stress, and partly through modulation of PK2/PKRs pathway.

Elucidation of the mechanism of NEFA-induced PERK-eIF2α signaling pathway regulation of lipid metabolism in bovine hepatocytes. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 2021; 211:105893. [PMID: 33819629 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsbmb.2021.105893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2020] [Revised: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
During the periparturient transition period, negative energy balance (NEB) characterized by high concentrations of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) may cause fatty liver and ketosis in dairy cows. Previous studies have shown that the protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) branch of the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) response plays an important role in lipid metabolism in hepatocytes. This study, therefore, investigated the role of the PERK-branch in NEFA-induced fatty liver. Different concentrations of NEFA or GSK2656157 (a novel catalytic inhibitor of PERK) were used to treat hepatocytes isolated from calves. The NEFA treatment significantly increased the triacylglycerol (TG) content, the phosphorylation level of PERK and eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α), and the abundance of glucose-regulated protein 78 (Grp78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c), fatty acid synthase (FASN), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A), apolipoprotein B (APOB), and the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). Compared with the 1.2 mM NEFA group, inhibition of PERK activity further increased the TG content in hepatocytes, the very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) content in the supernatant and the protein abundance of APOB while reducing the expression and nuclear levels of SREBP-1c and PPARα, as well as the expression of CPT1A and CPT2. In conclusion, the results showed that the NEFA-induced PERK-eIF2α signaling pathway promotes lipid synthesis, lipid oxidation, but inhibits the assembly and secretion of VLDL. Therefore, during the transition period, the activation of the PERK-eIF2α signaling pathway in the liver of dairy cows could defeat the acid-induced lipotoxicity and provide energy to alleviate NEB.

Interaction of nobiletin with methotrexate ameliorates 7-OH methotrexate-induced nephrotoxicity through endoplasmic reticulum stress-dependent PERK/CHOP signaling pathway. Pharmacol Res 2021; 165:105371. [PMID: 33460792 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2020.105371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2020] [Revised: 11/09/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Drug-induced nephrotoxicity is a frequent adverse event that contributes to acute kidney injury with tubular and/or glomerular lesions. Methotrexate (MTX) is a folate analog used against a myriad of malignancies and autoimmune diseases. Unfortunately, ambiguous renal toxicology limits its safe clinical usage. Based on our previous studies, 7-OH MTX as an overlooked oxidative metabolite of MTX was proposed to be the main culprit responsible for nephrotoxicity, while nobiletin, a naturally occurring polymethoxylated flavonoid screened from our prepared total phenolic extracts of Citrus aurantium L. (TPE-CA), was employed as a therapeutic agent for drug-drug interactions. According to the present study, nobiletin can ameliorate the renal accumulation of 7-OH MTX through the interaction with aldehyde oxidase. RNA-seq analysis revealed that 7-OH MTX was mainly related to protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, with the PERK/CHOP pathway selected as the most significant for metabolic nephrotoxicity. Meanwhile, the cross-linked proteins and conducted signals were investigated by western blotting and further verified by GSK inhibition analyses. These results indicated that nobiletin protected renal function from MTX-induced nephrotoxicity by modulating metabolism and ameliorated the metabolic toxicity of 7-OH MTX on ER stress-induced PERK/CHOP conduction by maintaining Ca2+ homeostasis and reducing the production of reactive oxygen species.
