Abstract
CONTEXT Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Rhodiola rosea L. (Crassulaceae) (RR) and its extracts have shown anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and lung-protective effects. OBJECTIVE This study elucidates the molecular mechanisms of RR against sepsis-induced ALI. MATERIALS AND METHODS The pivotal targets of RR against sepsis-induced ALI and underlying mechanisms were revealed by network pharmacology and molecular docking. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were stimulated by 1 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide for 0.5 h and treated with 6.3, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μg/mL RR for 24 h. Then, the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated HUVECs were subjected to cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), enzyme-linked immunosorbent, apoptosis, and Western blot analyses. C57BL/6 mice were divided into sham, model, low-dose (40 mg/kg), mid-dose (80 mg/kg), and high-dose (160 mg/kg) RR groups. The mouse model was constructed through caecal ligation and puncture, and histological, apoptosis, and Western blot analyses were performed for further validation. RESULTS We identified six hub targets (MPO, HRAS, PPARG, FGF2, JUN, and IL6), and the PI3K-AKT pathway was the core pathway. CCK-8 assays showed that RR promoted the viability of the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated HUVECs [median effective dose (ED50) = 18.98 μg/mL]. Furthermore, RR inhibited inflammation, oxidative stress, cell apoptosis, and PI3K-AKT activation in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated HUVECs and ALI mice, which was consistent with the network pharmacology results. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION This study provides foundational knowledge of the effective components, potential targets, and molecular mechanisms of RR against ALI, which could be critical for developing targeted therapeutic strategies for sepsis-induced ALI.

Abstract
Lung cancer is still a global health challenge in terms of high incidence, morbidity, and mortality. Recent scientific studies have determined that pyroptosis, a highly inflammatory form of programmed cell death, can be identified as a potential lung cancer therapeutic target. The NLRP3 inflammasome acts as a critical mediator in this process and, upon activation, activates multiprotein complex formation as well as caspase-1 activation. This process, triggered by a release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, results in pyroptotic cell death. Also, the relationship between the NLRP3 inflammasome and lung cancer was justified by its influence on tumour growth or metastasis. The molecular pathways produce progenitive mediators and remake the tissue. Finally, targeting NLRP3 inflammasome for pyroptosis induction and inhibition of its activation appears to be a promising lung cancer treatment approach. This technique makes cancer treatment more promising and personalized. This review explores the role of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and its possibilities in lung cancer treatment.

Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 135:112263. [PMID: 38788444 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Geranylgeranylacetone (GGA), an isoprenoid compound widely utilized as an antiulcer agent in Asia, confers protection against ischemia, anoxia, and oxidative stress by rapidly enhancing the expression of HSP70. Nevertheless, the impact of GGA on sepsis-associated intestinal injury remains unexplored. Thus, this study is crafted to elucidate the protective efficacy and underlying mechanisms of GGA against septic intestinal damage. Our findings revealed that GGA significantly extended the survival duration of septic mice, and mitigated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced alterations in intestinal permeability and tissue damage. Furthermore, GGA effectively suppressed LPS-induced cytokine release, attenuated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde, and bolstered antioxidant-related parameters within the intestinal tissue of LPS-stimulated mice. Mechanistically, GGA significantly increased HSP70 expression and promoted E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP to play the role in ubiquitination and degradation of karyopherin-α2 (KPNA2), resulting in inhibition of nuclear translocation of NF-κB and reduced NOX1, NOX2 and NOX4 expression. The inhibitory action of GGA on cytokine release and ROS generation was abolished by CHIP knockdown in IEC-6 cells treated with LPS. Simultaneously, the downregulation of CHIP reversed the suppressive role of GGA in the LPS-induced NF-κB activation and the expression of NOX1, NOX2 and NOX4 in IEC-6 cells. The effects of GGA on mitigating intestinal damage, inflammation and oxidative stress caused by LPS were eliminated in CHIP knockout mice. Our results demonstrate that the protective effect of GGA against LPS-caused intestinal injury of mice is dependent on CHIP activation, which promotes KPNA2 degradation and restrains translocation of NF-κB into nucleus, leading to suppressing LPS-induced inflammatory response and oxidative stress.

The suppression of HSPA8 attenuates NLRP3 ubiquitination through SKP2 to promote pyroptosis in sepsis-induced lung injury. Cell Biosci 2024; 14:56.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) is strongly associated with hospitalization and mortality in patients with sepsis. Recent evidence suggests that pyroptosis mediated by NLRP3(NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing 3) inflammasome activation plays a key role in sepsis. However, the mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in sepsis-induced lung injury remains unclear. RESULTS in this study, we demonstrated that NLRP3 inflammasome was activated by the down-regulation of heat shock protein family A member 8 (HSPA8) in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-treated mouse alveolar epithelial cells (AECs). Geranylgeranylacetone (GGA)-induced HSPA8 overexpression in cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) mice could significantly reduce systemic inflammatory response and mortality, effectively protect lung function, whilst HSPA8 inhibitor VER155008 aggravated this effect. The inhibition of HSPA8 was involved in sepsis induced acute lung injury by promoting pyroptosis of AECs. The down-regulation of HSPA8 activated NLRP3 inflammasome to mediate pyroptosis by promoting the degradation of E3 ubiquitin ligase S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (SKP2). In addition, when stimulated by LPS and ATP, down-regulated SKP2 promoted pyroptosis of AECs by further attenuating ubiquitination of NLRP3. Adeno-associated virus 9-SKP2(AAV9-SKP2) could promote NLRP3 ubiquitination and degradation, alleviate lung injury and inhibit systemic inflammatory response in vivo. CONCLUSION in summary, our study shows there is strong statistical evidence that the suppression of HSPA8 mediates alveolar epithelial pyroptosis by promoting the degradation of E3 ubiquitin ligase SKP2 and subsequently attenuating the ubiquitination of NLRP3 to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, which provides a new perspective and therapeutic target for the treatment of sepsis-induced lung injury.

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.

Abstract
Exposure to hydrochloric acid (HCl) can provoke acute and chronic lung injury. Because of its extensive production for industrial use, frequent accidental exposures occur, making HCl one of the top five chemicals causing inhalation injuries. There are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatments for HCl exposure. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors modulate transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling and the development of chemical-induced pulmonary fibrosis. However, little is known on the role of Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) during injury and treatment with HSP90 inhibitors. We hypothesized that administration of geranylgeranyl-acetone (GGA), an HSP70 inducer, or gefitinib (GFT), an HSP70 suppressant, alone or in combination with the HSP90 inhibitor, TAS-116, would improve or worsen, respectively, HCl-induced chronic lung injury in vivo and endothelial barrier dysfunction in vitro. GGA, alone, improved HCl-induced human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLMVEC) barrier dysfunction and, in combination with TAS-116, improved the protective effect of TAS-116. In mice, GGA reduced HCl toxicity and while TAS-116 alone blocked HCl-induced chronic lung injury, co-administration with GGA, resulted in further improvement. Conversely, GFT potentiated HCl-induced barrier dysfunction and impaired the antidotal effects of TAS-116. We conclude that combined treatments with HSP90 inhibitors and HSP70 inducers may represent a novel therapeutic approach to manage HCl-induced chronic lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Parthanatos is a form of programmed cell death mediated by apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF). However, there are not data on parthanatos in septic patients. The objective of the current study was to explore whether parthanatos is associated with mortality of septic patients. DESIGN Observational and prospective study. SETTING Three Spanish Intensive Care Units during 2017. PATIENTS Patients with sepsis according to Sepsis-3 Consensus criteria. INTERVENTIONS Serum AIF concentrations were determined at moment of sepsis diagnosis. MAIN VARIABLE OF INTEREST Mortality at 30 days. RESULTS There were included 195 septic patients, and non-surviving (n=72) had serum AIF levels (p<0.001), lactic acid (p<0.001) and APACHE-II (p<0.001) that surviving (n=123). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that patients with serum AIF levels>55.6ng/mL had higher mortality risk (OR=3.290; 95% CI=1.551-6.979; p=0.002) controlling for age, SOFA and lactic acid. CONCLUSIONS Parthanatos is associated with mortality of septic patients.

Abstract
Abnormal alternative splicing (AS) caused by alterations in spliceosomal factors is implicated in cancers. Standard models posit that splice site selection is mainly determined by early spliceosomal U1 and U2 snRNPs. Whether and how other mid/late-acting spliceosome components such as USP39 modulate tumorigenic splice site choice remains largely elusive. We observed that hepatocyte-specific overexpression of USP39 promoted hepatocarcinogenesis and potently regulated splice site selection in transgenic mice. In human liver cancer cells, USP39 promoted tumor proliferation in a spliceosome-dependent manner. USP39 depletion deregulated hundreds of AS events, including the oncogenic splice-switching of KANK2. Mechanistically, we developed a novel RBP-motif enrichment analysis and found that USP39 modulated exon inclusion/exclusion by interacting with SRSF6/HNRNPC in both humans and mice. Our data represented a paradigm for the control of splice site selection by mid/late-acting spliceosome proteins and their interacting RBPs. USP39 and possibly other mid/late-acting spliceosome proteins may represent potential prognostic biomarkers and targets for cancer therapy.

Siddiqui SH, Khan M, Choe H, Kang D, Shim K. HSP expression depends on its molecular construction and different organs of the chicken: a meta-analysis. Sci Rep 2022; 12:14901. [PMID: 36050408 PMCID: PMC9437049 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-18985-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) expression protect the cell from stress, this expression varies on tissue and stress level. Here, we investigated the structure and functional expression of HSPs in different chicken organs using meta-analysis. A total of 1253 studies were collected from three different electronic databases from January 1, 2015 to February 1, 2022. Of these studies, 28 were selected based on the specific criteria for this meta-analysis. The results for the expression of HSPs and the comparative expression of HSPs (HSP90, HSP70, and HSP60) in different chicken organs (brain, heart, liver, muscle, and intestine) were analyzed using the odds ratio or the random-effects model (REM) at a confidence interval (CI) of 95%. Compared to the thermoneutral groups, heat stress groups exhibited a significant (P < 0.01) change in their HSP70 expression in the chicken liver (8 trials: REM = 1.41, 95% CI: 0.41, 4.82). The expression of different HSPs in various chicken organs varied and the different organs were categorized according to their expression levels. HSP expression differed among the heart, liver, and muscle of chickens. HSPs expression level depends on the structure and molecular weight of the HSPs, as well as the type of tissue.
