HSP70-mediated mitochondrial dynamics and autophagy represent a novel vulnerability in pancreatic cancer. Cell Death Differ 2024; 31:881-896. [PMID: 38802657 PMCID: PMC11239841 DOI: 10.1038/s41418-024-01310-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most prevalent type of pancreatic cancer, is one of the deadliest forms of cancer with limited therapy options. Overexpression of the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a hallmark of cancer that is strongly associated with aggressive disease and worse clinical outcomes. However, the underlying mechanisms by which HSP70 allows tumor cells to thrive under conditions of continuous stress have not been fully described. Here, we report that PDAC has the highest expression of HSP70 relative to normal tissue across all cancers analyzed. Furthermore, HSP70 expression is associated with tumor grade and is further enhanced in metastatic PDAC. We show that genetic or therapeutic ablation of HSP70 alters mitochondrial subcellular localization, impairs mitochondrial dynamics, and promotes mitochondrial swelling to induce apoptosis. Mechanistically, we find that targeting HSP70 suppresses the PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) mediated phosphorylation of dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1). Treatment with the HSP70 inhibitor AP-4-139B was efficacious as a single agent in primary and metastatic mouse models of PDAC. In addition, we demonstrate that HSP70 inhibition promotes the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) mediated phosphorylation of Beclin-1, a key regulator of autophagic flux. Accordingly, we find that the autophagy inhibitor hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) enhances the ability of AP-4-139B to mediate anti-tumor activity in vivo. Collectively, our results suggest that HSP70 is a multi-functional driver of tumorigenesis that orchestrates mitochondrial dynamics and autophagy. Moreover, these findings support the rationale for concurrent inhibition of HSP70 and autophagy as a novel therapeutic approach for HSP70-driven PDAC.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a life threatening disease in critically ill patients, and characterized by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory factors levels in the lung. Multiple evidences suggest that nanozyme with diversified catalytic capabilities plays a vital role in this fatal lung injury. At present, we developed a novel class of polydopamine (PDA) coated cerium dioxide (CeO2) nanozyme (Ce@P) that acts as the potent ROS scavenger for scavenging intracellular ROS and suppressing inflammatory responses against ALI. Herein, we aimed to identify that Ce@P combining with NIR irradiation could further strengthen its ROS scavenging capacity. Specifically, NIR triggered Ce@P exhibited the most potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory behaviors in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced macrophages through decreasing the intracellular ROS levels, down-regulating the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6, up-regulating the level of antioxidant cytokine (SOD-2), inducing M2 directional polarization (CD206 up-regulation), and increasing the expression level of HSP70. Besides, we performed intravenous (IV) injection of Ce@P in LPS induced ALI rat model, and found that it significantly accumulated in the lung tissue for 6 h after injection. It was also observed that Ce@P + NIR presented the superior behaviors of decreasing lung inflammation, alleviating diffuse alveolar damage, as well as promoting lung tissue repair. All in all, it has developed the strategy of using Ce@P combining with NIR irradiation for the synergistic enhanced treatment of ALI, which can serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for the clinical treatment of ROS derived diseases as well.

Abstract
Despite the significant progress in the fields of biology, physiology, molecular medicine, and pharmacology; the designation of the properties of nitrogen monoxide in the regulation of life-supporting functions of the organism; and numerous works devoted to this molecule, there are still many open questions in this field. It is widely accepted that nitric oxide (•NO) is a unique molecule that, despite its extremely simple structure, has a wide range of functions in the body, including the cardiovascular system, the central nervous system (CNS), reproduction, the endocrine system, respiration, digestion, etc. Here, we systematize the properties of •NO, contributing in conditions of physiological norms, as well as in various pathological processes, to the mechanisms of cytoprotection and cytodestruction. Current experimental and clinical studies are contradictory in describing the role of •NO in the pathogenesis of many diseases of the cardiovascular system and CNS. We describe the mechanisms of cytoprotective action of •NO associated with the regulation of the expression of antiapoptotic and chaperone proteins and the regulation of mitochondrial function. The most prominent mechanisms of cytodestruction-the initiation of nitrosative and oxidative stresses, the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, and participation in apoptosis and mitosis. The role of •NO in the formation of endothelial and mitochondrial dysfunction is also considered. Moreover, we focus on the various ways of pharmacological modulation in the nitroxidergic system that allow for a decrease in the cytodestructive mechanisms of •NO and increase cytoprotective ones.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor in males, which frequently develops into castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). CRPC metastasis is the main reason for its high mortality rate. At present, it lacks effective treatment for patients with CRPC. Raltitrexed (RTX) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of colorectal cancer. However, the effect of RTX on prostate cancer and the underlying mechanism remain unknown. In the current study, we found that RTX could dose-dependently inhibit proliferation, migration, colony formation and induce apoptosis in DU145 and PC-3 cells. RTX also increased ROS generation in prostate cancer cells. Pretreatment with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) significantly prevented RTX-induced cell apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling activation in prostate cancer cells. Additionally, we found RTX-induced ROS generation and ER stress activation depended on the expression of heat shock protein family A member 8 (HSPA8). Over-expression of HSPA8 could alleviate RTX-induced cell apoptosis, ROS generation and ER stress signaling activation. Finally, our study also showed that RTX attenuated the tumor growth of prostate cancer in the DU145 xenograft model and significantly downregulated HSPA8 expression and activated ER stress signaling pathway in tumor tissues. Our study is the first to reveal that RTX induces prostate cancer cells apoptosis through inhibiting the expression of HSPA8 and further inducing ROS-mediated ER stress pathway action. This study suggests that RTX may be a novel promising candidate drug for prostate cancer therapy.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neuronal degenerative condition identified via a build-up of mutant aberrantly folded proteins. The native folding of polypeptides is mediated by molecular chaperones, preventing their pathogenic aggregation. The mutant protein expression in ALS is linked with the entrapment and depletion of chaperone capacity. The lack of a thorough understanding of chaperones' involvement in ALS pathogenesis presents a significant challenge in its treatment. Here, we review how the accumulation of the ALS-linked mutant FUS, TDP-43, SOD1, and C9orf72 proteins damage cellular homeostasis mechanisms leading to neuronal loss. Further, we discuss how the HSP70 and DNAJ family co-chaperones can act as potential targets for reducing misfolded protein accumulation in ALS. Moreover, small HSPB1 and HSPB8 chaperones can facilitate neuroprotection and prevent stress-associated misfolded protein apoptosis. Designing therapeutic strategies by pharmacologically enhancing cellular chaperone capacity to reduce mutant protein proteotoxic effects on ALS pathomechanisms can be a considerable advancement. Chaperones, apart from directly interacting with misfolded proteins for protein quality control, can also filter their toxicity by initiating strong stress-response pathways, modulating transcriptional expression profiles, and promoting anti-apoptotic functions. Overall, these properties of chaperones make them an attractive target for gaining fundamental insights into misfolded protein disorders and designing more effective therapies against ALS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity has been identified as a risk factor for acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This study aimed to investigate the role of fatty acid synthase (FASN) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI under obesity. METHODS A high-fat diet-induced obese (DIO) mouse model was established and lean mice fed with regular chow diet were served as controls. LPS was intratracheally instilled to reproduce ALI in mice. In vitro, primary mouse lung endothelial cells (MLECs), treated by palmitic acid (PA) or co-cultured with 3T3-L1 adipocytes, were exposed to LPS. Chemical inhibitor C75 or shRNA targeting FASN was used for in vivo and in vitro loss-of-function studies for FASN. RESULTS After LPS instillation, the protein levels of FASN in freshly isolated lung endothelial cells from DIO mice were significantly higher than those from lean mice. MLECs undergoing metabolic stress exhibited increased levels of FASN, decreased levels of VE-cadherin with increased p38 MAPK phosphorylation and NLRP3 expression, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impaired endothelial barrier compared with the control MLECs when exposed to LPS. However, these effects were attenuated by FASN inhibition with C75 or corresponding shRNA. In vivo, LPS-induced ALI, C75 pretreatment remarkably alleviated LPS-induced overproduction of lung inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, and lung vascular hyperpermeability in DIO mice as evidenced by increased VE-cadherin expression in lung endothelial cells and decreased lung vascular leakage. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, FASN inhibition alleviated the exacerbation of LPS-induced lung injury under obesity via rescuing lung endothelial dysfunction. Therefore, targeting FASN may be a potential therapeutic target for ameliorating LPS-induced ALI in obese individuals.

Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1120048. [PMID: 36937289 PMCID: PMC10017776 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1120048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Giardia duodenalis, an important flagellated noninvasive protozoan parasite, infects the upper small intestine and causes a disease termed giardiasis globally. Few members of the heat shock protein (HSP) family have been shown to function as potential defenders against microbial pathogens, while such information is lacking for Giardia. Here we initially screened and indicated that in vitro Giardia challenge induced a marked early upregulation of HSP70 in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). As noted previously, apoptotic resistance, nitric oxide (NO)-dependent cytostatic effect and parasite clearance, and epithelial barrier integrity represent effective anti-Giardia host defense mechanisms. We then explored the function of HSP70 in modulating apoptosis, NO release, and tight junction (TJ) protein levels in Giardia-IEC interactions. HSP70 inhibition by quercetin promoted Giardia-induced IEC apoptosis, viability decrease, NO release reduction, and ZO-1 and occludin downregulation, while the agonist celastrol could reverse these Giardia-evoked effects. The results demonstrated that HSP70 played a previously unrecognized and important role in regulating anti-Giardia host defense via attenuating apoptosis, promoting cell survival, and maintaining NO and TJ levels. Owing to the significance of apoptotic resistance among those defense-related factors mentioned earlier, we then elucidated the anti-apoptotic mechanism of HSP70. It was evident that HSP70 could negatively regulate apoptosis in an intrinsic way via direct inhibition of Apaf-1 or ROS-Bax/Bcl-2-Apaf-1 axis, and in an extrinsic way via cIAP2-mediated inhibition of RIP1 activity. Most importantly, it was confirmed that HSP70 exerted its host defense function by downregulating apoptosis via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation, upregulating NO release via TLR4/TLR2 activation, and upregulating TJ protein expression via TLR2 activation. HSP70 represented a checkpoint regulator providing the crucial link between specific TLR activation and anti-Giardia host defense responses. Strikingly, independent of the checkpoint role of HSP70, TLR4 activation was proven to downregulate TJ protein expression, and TLR2 activation to accelerate apoptosis. Altogether, this study identified HSP70 as a potentially vital defender against Giardia, and revealed its correlation with specific TLR activation. The clinical importance of HSP70 has been extensively demonstrated, while its role as an effective therapeutic target in human giardiasis remains elusive and thus needs to be further clarified.

Abstract
Fumonisin B1 (FB1) and ochratoxin A (OTA) possess nephrotoxicity to animals and widely co-exist in food and feedstuffs. FB1 rarely, while OTA often, causes toxicosis in animals. Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) resists lung injury induced by pneumolysin, but whether Hsp70 could remission mycotoxins-induced renal injury is still unknown. The present study aims to explore the impacts of nontoxic doses of FB1 on OTA-induced nephrotoxicity and the protective roles of Hsp70. In the mycotoxins-challenge experiment, ICR mice were co-exposed to nontoxic doses of FB1 (0, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 mg/kg bw, IP) and toxic dose of OTA (0.4 mg/kg bw, IP) for 16 d. The results showed that the levels of BUN, Cr, MDA in serum, the Cyto C in renal tubes or glomerulus, pro-apoptosis genes and p-JNK protein expression in kidney were significantly increased. Histopathological results revealed the glomerular swelling. The above all indexes were dose-dependent. In the protection experiment, the mice were pretreated with the eukaryotic plasmid of pEGFP-C3-Hsp70, these increasing parameters in the mycotoxins-challenge experiment were reversed. In vitro, after pK-15 cells were treated with 8 μM FB1 and 5 μM OTA for 48 h, the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly reduced, mitochondrial ROS was remarkably increased, more Cyto C was leaked from mitochondria into cytoplasm, and pro-apoptosis genes were significantly up-regulated. After the Hsp70 level was up-regulated by pEGFP-C3-Hsp70 or ML346 in pK-15 cells, these above indexes were reversed. However, activation of JNK by anisomycin significantly suppressed the protective effects of Hsp70. Our results demonstrate that the nontoxic doses of FB1 exacerbate the toxic dose of OTA-induced renal injury, while Hsp70 alleviates renal injury by inhibiting the JNK/MAPK signaling pathway. Hsp70 up-regulation may be an efficient strategy for protecting against tissue damage and bio-function impairment induced by co-exposure to FB1 and OTA.

Gallic Acid Alleviates Gut Dysfunction and Boosts Immune and Antioxidant Activities in Puppies Under Environmental Stress Based on Microbiome-Metabolomics Analysis. Front Immunol 2022; 12:813890. [PMID: 35095912 PMCID: PMC8795593 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.813890] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Early-life exposure to environmental stress disrupts the gut barrier and leads to inflammatory responses and changes in gut microbiota composition. Gallic acid (GA), a natural plant polyphenol, has received significant interest for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties that support the maintenance of intestinal health. To assess whether dietary supplementation of GA alleviates environmental stress, a total of 19 puppies were randomly allocated to the following three dietary treatments for 2 weeks: 1) basal diet (control (CON)); 2) basal diet + transportation (TS); and 3) basal diet with the addition of 500 mg/kg of GA + transportation (TS+GA). After a 1-week supplementation period, puppies in the TS and TS+GA groups were transported from a stressful environment to another livable location, and puppies in the CON group were then left in the stressful environment. Results indicated that GA markedly reduced the diarrhea rate in puppies throughout the trial period and caused a moderate decline of serum cortisol and HSP-70 levels after transportation. Also, GA alleviated the oxidative stress and inflammatory response caused by multiple environmental stressors. Meanwhile, puppies fed GA had a higher abundance of fecal Firmicutes and Lactobacillus and lower Proteobacteria, Escherichia–Shigella, and Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1 after transportation. As a result, the TS+GA group had the highest total short-chain fatty acids and acetic acid. Also, the fecal and serum metabolomics analyses revealed that GA markedly reversed the abnormalities of amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism caused by stresses. Finally, Spearman’s correlation analysis was carried out to explore the comprehensive microbiota and metabolite relationships. Overall, dietary supplementation of GA alleviates oxidative stress and inflammatory response in stressed puppies by causing beneficial shifts on gut microbiota and metabolites that may support gut and host health.

Abstract
Cellular redox homeostasis is precisely balanced by generation and elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are not only capable of causing oxidation of proteins, lipids and DNA to damage cells but can also act as signaling molecules to modulate transcription factors and epigenetic pathways that determine cell survival and death. Hsp70 proteins are central hubs for proteostasis and are important factors to ameliorate damage from different kinds of stress including oxidative stress. Hsp70 members often participate in different cellular signaling pathways via their clients and cochaperones. ROS can directly cause oxidative cysteine modifications of Hsp70 members to alter their structure and chaperone activity, resulting in changes in the interactions between Hsp70 and their clients or cochaperones, which can then transfer redox signals to Hsp70-related signaling pathways. On the other hand, ROS also activate some redox-related signaling pathways to indirectly modulate Hsp70 activity and expression. Post-translational modifications including phosphorylation together with elevated Hsp70 expression can expand the capacity of Hsp70 to deal with ROS-damaged proteins and support antioxidant enzymes. Knowledge about the response and role of Hsp70 in redox homeostasis will facilitate our understanding of the cellular knock-on effects of inhibitors targeting Hsp70 and the mechanisms of redox-related diseases and aging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chlorine dioxide (ClO2 ) is an inorganic, potent biocide and is available in highly purified aqueous solution. It can be administered as an oral antiseptic in this form. OBJECTIVES Our aim is to determine the level of inflammatory markers and cytochrome genes expressed by enterocytes exposed to different concentrations of hyperpure chlorine dioxide solution. METHODS Porcine jejunal enterocyte cell (IPEC-J2) cultures were treated with the aqueous solution of hyper-pure chlorine dioxide of various concentrations. We determined the alterations in mRNA levels of inflammatory mediators, such as IL6, CXCL8/IL8, TNF, HSPA6 (Hsp70), CAT and PTGS2 (COX2); furthermore, the expression of three cytochrome genes (CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP3A29) were analysed by quantitative PCR method. RESULTS The highest applied ClO2 concentration reduced the expression of all three investigated CYP genes. The gene expression of PTGS2 and CAT were not altered by most concentrations of ClO2 . The expression of IL8 gene was reduced by all applied concentrations of ClO2 . TNF mRNA level was also decreased by most ClO2 concentrations used. CONCLUSIONS Different concentrations of chlorine dioxide exhibited immunomodulatory activity and caused altered transcription of CYP450 genes in porcine enterocytes. Further studies are needed to determine the appropriate ClO2 concentration for oral use in animals.

Abstract
Pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell (PMVEC) apoptosis is the initial stage of adult pulmonary hypertension (PH), which involves high pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular remodeling. However, the mechanism regulating PMVEC apoptosis and its involvement in the early stages of neonatal hypoxic PH (HPH) pathogenesis are currently unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) on hypoxia‑induced apoptosis in PMVECs. PMVECs isolated from neonatal Sprague‑Dawley rats were transfected with lentivirus with or without HSP70, or treated with the synthetic HSP70 inhibitor N‑formyl‑3,4‑methylenedioxy‑benzylidene-g-butyrolactam under hypoxic conditions (5% O2) for 24, 48 or 72 h. PMVEC apoptosis was evaluated by performing flow cytometry and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) assays. The expression levels of HSP70, hypoxia‑inducible factor‑1α (HIF‑1α) and apoptosis‑associated proteins were determined by conducting reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting. Following 24, 48 or 72 h of hypoxia, the apoptotic rates of PMVECs were significantly elevated compared with cells under normoxic conditions. The MMP was significantly reduced, whereas the mRNA and protein expression levels of HIF‑1α, cytochrome c (cyt C), caspase‑3 and HSP70 were enhanced by hypoxia compared with those under normoxic conditions. Additionally, the mRNA and protein expression levels of B‑cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl‑2) were significantly downregulated in the hypoxia group compared with those in the normoxia group. In hypoxic PMVECs, HSP70 overexpression decreased the apoptotic rate and the expression levels of cyt C, downregulated the expression levels of caspase‑3 and HIF‑1α, and increased the MMP and the expression levels of Bcl‑2. HSP70 inhibition resulted in the opposite outcomes compared with those of HSP70 overexpression. Therefore, the results of the present study suggested that HSP70 may inhibit mitochondrial pathway‑mediated apoptosis in isolated neonatal rat PMVECs in early‑stage hypoxia, which may be associated with HSP70‑mediated HIF‑1α downregulation. Overall, HSP70 may be protective against neonatal HPH through the HSP70/HIF‑1α pathway.

PLoS One 2021; 16:e0257097.

Abstract
Ceratitis capitata (medfly) is one of the most devastating crop pests worldwide. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a control method that is based on the mass rearing of males, their sterilization, and release in the field. However, the effectiveness of the technique depends on the quality of the released males and their fitness. We previously isolated and selected a probiotic bacteria (Enterobacter sp.), from wild-caught medflies, according to criteria that improved biological quality traits of reared medfly males.We firstly evaluated the impact of the irradiation on the expression of different immune and stress genes in the medfly sterile males. Expression was measured at differents time points ranging from 0 to 168 h after irradiation to capture the response of genes with distinct temporal expression patterns. Then, we supplemented the larval diet with previously isolated Enterobacter sp.strain, live and autoclaved at various concentrations to see whether the probiotic treatments affect, through their protective role, the gene expression level, and quality traits. The irradiation had significant effect on the genes attacin, cecropin, PGPR-LC, hsp23, and hsp70 level expression. The expression of attacin and PGPR-LC was up-regulated while that of cecropin was down-regulated. Hsp genes showed decreased levels between 0 and 18 h to peak at 72 h. However, the supplementation of the probiotic strain, either live or autoclaved, was statistically significant only for attacingene. However, significant interaction time x probiotic was noticed for attacin, cecropin, hsp23 and hsp70. The probiotic treatments also improved the quality control parameters like pupal weight. From this work we can conclude that a consortium of parabiotics (autoclaved probiotics) treatment will be recommended in insectaries considering both the beneficial effects on mass reared insects and its general safety for insectary workers and for environment.

Abstract
Microvesicles (MVs) are cell-derived extracellular vesicles that have emerged as markers and mediators of acute lung injury (ALI). One of the most common pathogens in pneumonia-induced ALI is Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn), but the role of MVs during Spn lung infection is largely unknown. In the first line of defense against Spn and its major virulence factor, pneumolysin (PLY), are the alveolar epithelial cells (AEC). In this study, we aim to characterize MVs shed from PLY-stimulated AEC and explore their contribution in mediating crosstalk with neutrophils. Using in vitro cell and ex vivo (human lung tissue) models, we demonstrated that Spn in a PLY-dependent manner stimulates AEC to release increased numbers of MVs. Spn infected mice also had higher levels of epithelial-derived MVs in their alveolar compartment compared to control. Furthermore, MVs released from PLY-stimulated AEC contain mitochondrial content and can be taken up by neutrophils. These MVs then suppress the ability of neutrophils to produce reactive oxygen species, a critical host-defense mechanism. Taken together, our results demonstrate that AEC in response to pneumococcal PLY release MVs that carry mitochondrial cargo and suggest that these MVs regulate innate immune responses during lung injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory reactions induced by alveolar macrophages and excessive fibroblast activation lead to pulmonary fibrosis in silicosis. The endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) is a key source of myofibroblasts. ZC3H4 is a member of the CCCH zinc finger protein family that participates in macrophage activation and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, whether ZC3H4 is involved in EndoMT in silicosis has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, we conducted further studies into the role of ZC3H4 in silica-induced EndoMT in pulmonary vessels. METHODS Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect the regulatory influences of SiO2 on pulmonary fibrosis and EndoMT. ZC3H4 was specifically downregulated using CRISPR/Cas9 to explore whether ZC3H4 regulated EndoMT during silicosis. C57BL/6 J mice were administered with SiO2 via the trachea to establish a silicosis animal model. RESULTS 1) SiO2 exposure increased ZC3H4 expression in pulmonary vessels. 2) ZC3H4 was involved in EndoMT induced by silica. 3) ZC3H4 mediated EndoMT via endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) and autophagy. CONCLUSIONS ZC3H4 greatly affects the progression of SiO2-induced EndoMT via ER stress and autophagy, which provides the possibility that ZC3H4 may become a novel target in pulmonary fibrosis treatment.

Abstract
Ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation induces skin damage and photoaging through several deleterious effects, including generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), apoptosis of epidermal cells, inflammation, and collagen degradation in fibroblasts. Ergothioneine (EGT) is a naturally occurring amino acid with potential biological properties. We evaluated whether EGT protects against UVB-induced photoaging using a keratinocyte/fibroblast co-culture system. Keratinocytes were pretreated with EGT, irradiated with UVB, and co-cultured with fibroblasts. In keratinocytes, ROS production and apoptosis were assessed. We also analyzed the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, HSP70, proapoptotic proteins, and paracrine cytokines by Western blotting and real-time PCR. Collagen degradation-related genes and senescence were also assessed in fibroblasts. EGT pretreatment of keratinocytes significantly inhibited downregulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and HSP70, and protected keratinocytes by suppressing production of ROS and cleavage of proapoptotic proteins, including caspase-8 and PARP. Furthermore, EGT significantly reduced the paracrine cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. In co-cultures of fibroblasts with EGT-treated keratinocytes, the expression levels of collagen degradation-related genes and fibroblast senescence were significantly decreased; however, synthesis of procollagen type I was significantly increased. Our results confirm that EGT suppresses the modification of collagen homeostasis in fibroblasts by preventing downregulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and HSP70 in keratinocytes following UVB irradiation.

Abstract
Sepsis is a systemic infection that causes multiple organ dysfunction. HSP70 is a protein responsive to cell stress, in particular oxidative stress. Therefore, this literature review sought to investigate the roles of HSP70 and oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of sepsis and the possibility of HSP70 as a therapeutic target. HSP70 exerts a protective effect when located in cells (iHSP70), and its decrease, as well as its increase in the extracellular environment (eHSP70), under oxidative stress is a biomarker of sepsis severity. In addition, therapies that increase iHSP70 and treatment with HSP70 promote sepsis improvement.

Abstract
Over the past 10 years, the crisis of sepsis has remained a great challenge. According to data from 2016, the sepsis-related mortality rate remains high. In addition, sepsis consumes extensive medical resources in intensive care units, and anti-inflammatory agents fail to improve sepsis-associated hyperinflammation and symptoms of immunosuppression. The specific immune mechanism of sepsis remains to be elucidated. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are triggered by energy metabolism and respiratory dysfunction in sepsis, which not only cause oxidative damage to tissues and organelles, but also directly and indirectly promote NOD-, LRR-, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation. NLRP3 inflammasomes enlarge the inflammatory response and trigger apoptosis of immune cells to exacerbate sepsis progression. Inhibiting the negative effects of ROS and NLRP3 inflammasomes therefore provides the possibility of reversing the excessive inflammation during sepsis. In this review, we describe the interaction of ROS and NLRP3 inflammasomes during sepsis, provide prevention strategies, and identify fields that need further study.

Chronic heat stress regulates the relation between heat shock protein and immunity in broiler small intestine. Sci Rep 2020; 10:18872.

Abstract
Chronic heat stress is considered to decrease the immune functions which makes negative effect on broiler growth performance. Here, we investigated the relationship between chronic heat stress, growth performance, and immunity in the small intestine of broilers. The study included two groups (control and heat stressed group) with eight replications per group. Ten broilers of 20-day aged were allocated in each replication. On day 35, the treatment group was subdivided into two groups based on their body weights (heavy and low body weight). Although, there was only the control and treatment group on day 28. The growth performance decreased and expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), HSP60, and HSP47 increased on days 28 and 35 in the chronic heat stress group as compared with those in the control group. The expression levels of HSPs were significantly higher in the low body weight group than in the control group. The genes HSP70 and HSP60 were significantly associated with pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the small intestine of the broilers of the treatment group. Thus, HSP70 and HSP60 activated the adaptive immunity in the small intestines of the broilers from the treatment group to allow adaptation to chronic heat stress environment.

Abstract
Mortality in COVID-19 patients predominantly results from an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in which lungs alveolar cells undergo programmed cell death. Mortality in a sepsis-induced ARDS rat model is reduced by adenovirus over-expression of the HSP70 chaperone. A natural rise of body temperature during mild fever can naturally accumulate high cellular levels of HSP70 that can arrest apoptosis and protect alveolar lung cells from inflammatory damages. However, beyond 1-2 h of fever, no HSP70 is being further produced and a decreased in body temperature required to the restore cell's ability to produce more HSP70 in a subsequent fever cycle. We suggest that antipyretics may be beneficial in COVID-19 patients subsequent to several hours of mild (<38.8°C) advantageous fever, allowing lung cells to accumulate protective HSP70 against damages from the inflammatory response to the virus SARS-CoV-2. With age, the ability to develop fever and accumulate HSP70 decreases. This could be ameliorated, when advisable to do so, by thermotherapies and/or physical training.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effects of human placental mesenchymal stem cells (hPMSCs) transplantation on pulmonary vascular endothelial permeability and lung injury repair in mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Methods The hPMSCs were isolated from the human placental tissue by enzyme digestion and passaged. The cell phenotype of the 3rd generation hPMSCs was detected by flow cytometry. Twenty-four 6-week-old healthy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n=8). The mice were instilled with LPS in the airway to prepare an ALI model in the ALI model group and the hPMSCs treatment group, and with saline in the control group. At 12 hours after LPS infusion, the mice were injected with 3rd generation hPMSCs via the tail vein in hPMSCs treatment group and with saline in the ALI model group and the control group. At 24 hours after injection, the lung tissues of all mice were taken. The pathological changes were observed by HE staining. The wet/dry mass ratio (W/D) of lung tissue was measured. The Evans blue leak test was used to detect the pulmonary vascular endothelial permea bility in mice. The expression of lung tissue permeability-related protein (VE-cadherin) was detected by Western blot. Results Flow cytometry examination showed that the isolated cells had typical MSCs phenotypic characteristics. Mice in each group survived. The alveolar structure of the ALI model group significantly collapsed, a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrated, and local alveolar hemorrhage occurred; while the alveolar structure collapse of the hPMSCs treatment group significantly improved, inflammatory cells infiltration significantly reduced, and a few red blood cells were in the interstitial lung. W/D and exudation volume of Evans blue stain were significantly higher in the ALI model group than in the control group and the hPMSCs treatment group ( P<0.05), in the hPMSCs treatment group than in the control group ( P<0.05). The relative protein expression of VE-cadherin was significantly lower in the ALI model group than in the control group and the hPMSCs treatment group ( P<0.05), and in the hPMSCs treatment group than in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion Intravenous injection of hPMSCs can effectively reduce the increased pulmonary vascular endothelial permeability mediated by LPS, relieve the degree of lung tissue damage, and play a therapeutic role in ALI mice.

Abstract
High levels of extracellular 72 kDa heat shock protein (eHSP72) can be detected in the serum of septic patients and are associated with increased oxidative profiles and elevated rates of mortality among these patients. However, a possible immunomodulatory role for this protein, resulting in tissue protection during sepsis, has never been assessed. In this study, we investigated whether eHSP72 administration could attenuate the severity of sepsis in a mouse peritonitis model. Animals (90-day-old male C57BL/6J mice) were divided into Sepsis (n = 8) and Sepsis + eHSP72 (n = 9) groups, which both received injections of 20% fecal solution [1 mg/g body weight (wt), intraperitoneal (i.p.)], to trigger peritonitis induced-sepsis, whereas a Control group (n = 7) received a saline injection. eHSP72 was administered (1.33 ng/g body wt) to the Sepsis+eHSP72 group, 12 h after sepsis induction. All animals were evaluated for murine sepsis score (MSS), hemogram, core temperature, and glycemia (before and 4, 12, and 24 h after sepsis induction). Treatment with eHSP72 promoted reduced sepsis severity 24 h after sepsis induction, based on MSS scores (Control = 1.14 ± 1.02; Sepsis = 11.07 ± 7.24, and Sepsis + eHSP72 = 5.62 ± 1.72, P < 0.001) and core temperatures (°C; Control = 37.48 ± 0.58; Sepsis = 35.17 ± 2.88, and Sepsis + eHSP72 = 36.94 ± 2.02; P = 0.006). eHSP72 treatment also limited the oxidative profile and respiratory dysfunction in mice with sepsis. Although sepsis modified glycemic levels and white and red blood cell counts, these variables were not influenced by eHSP72 treatment (P > 0.05). Finally, eHSP72 improved the survival rate after sepsis (P = 0.0371). Together, our results indicated that eHSP72 may ameliorate sepsis severity and possibly improve some sepsis indices in mice.

Abstract
Adequate bone volume is required for osseointegrated implants to restore lost teeth and oral function. Several studies have demonstrated potential advantage of stem cells in regenerative medicine using osteoblasts. The periosteum is composed of osteoblasts, fibroblasts, and osteoprogenitor cells. It may be an alternative source for bone tissue engineering because of easy isolation and rapid proliferation in vivo and in vitro. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has proved successful in recoveries from nonunions, delayed unions, and fracture of the bone in both animal experiments and clinical treatments. The study was to investigate the influence of LIPUS on the osteogenic differentiation in murine periosteum-derived cells (PDCs) and the underlying mechanism of LIPUS. PDCs were treated daily with LIPUS for 20 min up to 21 days with 3 MHz frequency, 30 mW/cm2 intensity, and pulse repetition frequency of 1 kHz. The effects of LIPUS on cell proliferation and viability were investigated. Osteogenic differentiation was analyzed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-positive cell staining, ALP activity assay, mineralized nodule formation, real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, as well as western blotting. The results indicated that ultrasound stimulation did not significantly affect the proliferation of PDCs. But LIPUS significantly increased ALP activity on day 7 and markedly promoted formation of mineralized nodules on day 21. mRNA expression of ALP and osteocalcin was significantly upregulated by stimulation with LIPUS. LIPUS enhanced gene expression of both bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and osterix only in the presence of osteogenic medium. LIPUS stimulation did not affect Smad 1 and Smad 5 protein expression, but significantly upregulated protein levels of BMP-2 and phosphor-Smad 1/5/9 in PDCs. Thus, LIPUS stimulation increased early osteogenic differentiation in a normal medium and further enhanced expression of BMP-2 and subsequent osterix expression through the canonical Smad-signaling pathway in an osteogenic medium, leading to mineral apposition. Therefore, LIPUS might have potential to promote osteogenesis in PDCs. Impact statement There are few studies on periosteum-derived cells (PDCs) because conventional methods of their isolation are relatively difficult to procure abundant cells for cell culture and the total cell numbers are limited. In this study, a modified isolation technique of murine calvarial PDCs using gelatin is described. PDCs were initiated to emerge as early as day 3 and showed increased proliferation, which can be used for further studies. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation increased early osteogenic differentiation in a normal medium and further enhanced expression of bone morphogenic protein-2 and subsequent osterix expression through the canonical Smad-signaling pathway in an osteogenic medium, leading to mineral apposition.

Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that lactic acid bacteria communicate with host cells via secretome components to influence immune responses but less is known about gut-pathogen secretomes, impact of lactic acid bacteria secretomes on host-pathogen interactions, and the mechanisms underlying these interactions. Genome-wide microarrays and cytokine profiling were used to interrogate the impact of the Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011 secretome (LrS) on TNF-α and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium secretome (STS)-induced outcomes in human intestinal epithelial cells. The LrS attenuated both TNF-α- and STS-induced gene expression involved in NF-κB and MAPK activation, as well as expression of genes involved in other immune-related signaling pathways. Specifically, the LrS induced the expression of dual specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1), activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3), and tribbles pseudokinase 3 (TRIB3), negative regulators of innate immune signaling, in HT-29 intestinal epithelial cells challenged with TNF-α or STS. TNF-α- and STS-induced acetylation of H3 and H4 histones was attenuated by the LrS, as was the production of TNF-α- and STS-induced proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Interestingly, the LrS induced production of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a cytokine involved in host-microbe interactions at the gut interface. We propose that the LrS attenuates proinflammatory mediator expression through increased transcription of negative regulators of innate immune activity and changes in global H3 and H4 histone acetylation. To our knowledge, these findings provide novel insights into the complex multifaceted mechanisms of action behind secretome-mediated interdomain communication at the gut-mucosal interface.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by tissue damage and inflammatory cytokine secretion; however, the therapeutic options available to treat ALI remain limited. Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) has the ability to attenuate cell necroptosis in various inflammatory diseases. The present study evaluated the protective effects of Nec-1 on a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI. Histological alterations in the lungs were evaluated through hematoxylin and eosin staining, and the expression levels of cytokines in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung tissues were determined by ELISA. In addition, accumulated production of reactive oxygen species was determined by staining with DCFH-DA probes, western blotting and immunofluorescence. The results revealed that treatment with the necroptosis inhibitor, Nec-1, exerted significant protective effects on ALI-induced inflammation and necroptosis. The key proteins involved in necroptosis were markedly reduced, including receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase (RIP)1 and RIP3. Notably, antioxidant proteins were upregulated by Nec-1, which may attenuate oxidative stress. Furthermore, treatment with Nec-1 markedly suppressed necroptosis in the pulmonary alveoli RLE-6TN cell line. Taken together, these data revealed a novel association between ALI and necroptosis, and suggested that necroptosis inhibitors may be used as effective anti-inflammatory drugs to treat ALI.

In the present study, male C57BL/6 mice were treated with aerosolized glycine (1000 mg in 5 mL of 0.9% saline) or vehicle (0.9% saline) once daily for 7 continuous days, and then were exposed to aerosolized LPS (5 mg in 5 mL of 0.9% saline) for 30 min to induce lung injury. Sera and lung tissues were collected 24 h post LPS challenge. Results showed that glycine pretreatment attenuated LPS-induced decreases of mucin at both protein and mRNA levels, reduced LPS-triggered upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferons, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and interleukins. Further study showed that glycine-reduced LPS challenge resulted in the upregulation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), nucleotide binding domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. In addition, LPS exposure led to the downregulation of NRF2 and downstream targets, which were significantly improved by glycine administration in the lung tissues. Our findings indicated that glycine pretreatment prevented LPS-induced lung injury by regulating both NLRP3 inflammasome and NRF2 signaling.

Abstract
Heat stress induced by long periods of high ambient temperature decreases animal productivity, leading to heavy economic losses. This devastating situation for livestock production is even becoming worse under the present climate change scenario. Strategies focused to breed animals with better thermo-tolerance and climatic resilience are keenly sought these days to mitigate impacts of heat stress especially in high input livestock production systems. The 70-kDa heat shock proteins (HSP70) are a protein family known for its potential role in thermo-tolerance and widely considered as cellular thermometers. HSP70 function as molecular chaperons and have major roles in cellular thermotolerance, apoptosis, immune-modulation and heat stress. Expression of HSP70 is controlled by various factors such as, intracellular pH, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP), protein kinase C and intracellular free calcium, etc. Over expression of HSP70 has been observed under oxidative stress leading to scavenging of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and protection of pulmonary endothelial barrier against bacterial toxins. Polymorphisms in flanking and promoter regions in HSP70 gene have shown association with heat tolerance, weaning weight, milk production, fertility and disease susceptibility in livestock. This review provides insight into pivotal roles of HSP70 which make it an ideal candidate genetic marker for selection of animals with better climate resilience, immune response and superior performance.

Abstract
Purpose: Vascular damage and inflammation are limiting toxic effects of lung cancer radiotherapy, which lead to pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis. We have demonstrated that soy isoflavones (SIF) mitigate these toxic effects at late time points after radiation. However, the process by which SIF impacts the onset of radiation-induced inflammation remains to be elucidated. We have now investigated early events of radiation-induced inflammation and identified cellular and molecular signaling patterns by endothelial cells that could be modified by SIF to control vascular damage and the initiation of lung inflammation.Materials and methods: Histopathological, cellular and molecular studies were performed on mouse lungs from C57Bl/6 mice treated with 10 Gy of thoracic radiation (XRT) in conjunction with daily oral SIF treatment given prior and after radiation. Parallel studies were performed in-vitro using EA.hy926 endothelial cell line with SIF and radiation. Immunohistochemistry, western blots analysis, and flow cytometry were performed on lung tissue or EA.hy926 cells to analyze endothelial cells, their patterns of cell death or survival, and signaling molecules involved in inflammatory events.Results: Histopathological differences in inflammatory infiltrates and vascular injury in lungs, including vascular endothelial cells, were observed with SIF treatment at early time points post-XRT. XRT-induced expression of proinflammatory adhesion molecule ICAM-1 cells was reduced by SIF in-vitro and in-vivo in endothelial cells. Molecular changes in endothelial cells with SIF treatment in conjunction with XRT included increased DNA damage, reduced cell viability and cyclin B1, and inhibition of nuclear translocation of NF-κB. Analysis of cell death showed that SIF treatment promoted apoptotic endothelial cell death and decreased XRT-induced type III cell death. In-vitro molecular studies indicated that SIF + XRT increased apoptotic caspase-9 activation and production of IFNβ while reducing the release of inflammatory HMGB-1 and IL-1α, the cleavage of pyroptotic gasdermin D, and the release of active IL-1β, which are all events associated with type III cell death.Conclusions: SIF + XRT caused changes in patterns of endothelial cell death and survival, proinflammatory molecule release, and adhesion molecule expression at early time points post-XRT associated with early reduction of immune cell recruitment. These findings suggest that SIF could mediate its radioprotective effects in irradiated lungs by limiting excessive immune cell homing via vascular endothelium into damaged lung tissue and curtailing the overall inflammatory response to radiation.

Abstract
Significance: Oxidative stress in the cell is characterized by excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Superoxide (O2-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are the main ROS involved in the regulation of cellular metabolism. As our fundamental understanding of the underlying causes of lung disease has increased it has become evident that oxidative stress plays a critical role. Recent Advances: A number of cells in the lung both produce, and respond to, ROS. These include vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, and epithelial cells as well as the cells involved in the inflammatory response, including macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils. The redox system is involved in multiple aspects of cell metabolism and cell homeostasis. Critical Issues: Dysregulation of the cellular redox system has consequential effects on cell signaling pathways that are intimately involved in disease progression. The lung is exposed to biomechanical forces (fluid shear stress, cyclic stretch, and pressure) due to the passage of blood through the pulmonary vessels and the distension of the lungs during the breathing cycle. Cells within the lung respond to these forces by activating signal transduction pathways that alter their redox state with both physiologic and pathologic consequences. Future Directions: Here, we will discuss the intimate relationship between biomechanical forces and redox signaling and its role in the development of pulmonary disease. An understanding of the molecular mechanisms induced by biomechanical forces in the pulmonary vasculature is necessary for the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Induced and frequently unwanted alterations in the mitochondrial structure and functions are a key component of the pathological cascade in many kidney pathologies, including those associated with acute damage. One of the principal pathogenic elements causing mitochondrial dysfunction in Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is oxidative stress. After ischemia and nephrotoxic action of drugs, sepsis and systemic inflammation are the most frequent causes of AKI. As the kidney suffers from oxidative stress during sepsis, one of the most promising approaches to alleviate such damaging consequences is the use of antioxidants. Considering administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a model of sepsis, we demonstrate that the mitochondria of neonatal renal tissue are severely affected by LPS-induced AKI, with pathological ultrastructural changes observed in both the mitochondria of the renal tubular epithelium and the vascular endothelium. Upon mitochondrial damage, we evaluated the effect of the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant plastoquinol decylrhodamine 19 (SkQR1) on the development of acute renal failure in newborn rats associated with systemic inflammation induced by the administration of LPS. We found that SkQR1 administration 3 h before LPS led to decreased urinal expression of the AKI marker neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin 2 (NGAL), in addition to a decrease in urea and creatinine levels in the blood. Additionally, an observed impairment of proliferative activity in the neonatal kidney caused by LPS treatment was also prevented by the treatment of rat pups with SkQR1. Thus, one of the key events for renal tissue damage in neonatal sepsis is an alteration in the structure and function of the mitochondria and the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SkQR1 is an effective nephroprotective agent, which protects the neonatal kidney from sepsis-induced AKI.

Abstract
Dysregulated redox signaling in pulmonary vasculature is central to the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and lung injury. Modulators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and downstream signaling targets are critical for mediating the physiological or pathological effects of ROS. Understanding the complex interactions between the modulators and signaling targets of ROS is essential for developing novel strategies to prevent or attenuate lung pathologies. In this review, we discuss recent studies on the modulators and targets of ROS in pulmonary endothelial and smooth muscle cells, their cellular effects, and the disease conditions associated with dysregulated redox signaling.

Abstract
The innate immune response plays an important role in the pathophysiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Glutamine (Gln) decreases lung inflammation in experimental ARDS, but its impact on the formation of extracellular traps (ETs) in the lung is unknown. In a mouse model of endotoxin-induced pulmonary ARDS, the effects of Gln treatment on leukocyte counts and ET content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), inflammatory profile in lung tissue, and lung morphofunction were evaluated in vivo. Furthermore, ET formation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione reductase (GR) activities were tested in vitro. Our in vivo results demonstrated that Gln treatment reduced ET release (as indicated by cell-free-DNA content and myeloperoxidase activity), decreased lung inflammation (reductions in interferon-γ and increases in interleukin-10 levels), and improved lung morpho-function (decreased static lung elastance and alveolar collapse) in comparison with ARDS animals treated with saline. Moreover, Gln reduced ET and ROS formation in BALF cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide in vitro, but it did not alter GPx or GR activity. In this model of endotoxin-induced pulmonary ARDS, treatment with Gln reduced pulmonary functional and morphological impairment, inflammation, and ET release in the lung.
