Abstract
Introduction Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) often triggers oxidative stress through reactive oxygen species (ROS). Transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) plays a pivotal role in regulating oxidative stress and inflammation across various diseases. 5Z-7-Oxozeaenol (OZ), a specific inhibitor of TAK1, has exhibited therapeutic effects in various conditions. However, the impact of OZ following ICH and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. This study aimed to explore the possible role of OZ in ICH and its underlying mechanisms by inhibiting oxidative stress-mediated pyroptosis. Methods Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to an ICH model, followed by treatment with OZ. Neurobehavioral function, blood-brain barrier integrity, neuronal pyroptosis, and oxidative stress markers were assessed using various techniques including behavioral tests, immunofluorescence staining, western blotting, transmission electron microscopy, and biochemical assays. Results Our study revealed that OZ administration significantly inhibited phosphorylated TAK1 expression post-ICH. Furthermore, TAK1 blockade by OZ attenuated blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, neuroinflammation, and oxidative damage while enhancing neurobehavioral function. Mechanistically, OZ administration markedly reduced ROS production and oxidative stress by facilitating nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) nuclear translocation. This was accompanied by a subsequent suppression of the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) activation-mediated inflammatory cascade and neuronal pyroptosis. Discussion Our findings highlight that OZ alleviates brain injury and oxidative stress-mediated pyroptosis via the NRF2 pathway. Inhibition of TAK1 emerges as a promising approach for managing ICH.

Cells 2024; 13:687. [PMID: 38667302 PMCID: PMC11048823 DOI: 10.3390/cells13080687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) induce innate immune responses through activation of intracellular signaling pathways, such as MAP kinase and NF-κB signaling pathways, and play an important role in host defense against bacterial or viral infections. Meanwhile, excessive activation of TLR signaling leads to a variety of inflammatory disorders, including autoimmune diseases. TLR signaling is therefore strictly controlled to balance optimal immune response and inflammation. However, its balancing mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase LINCR/ NEURL3 as a critical regulator of TLR signaling. In LINCR-deficient cells, the sustained activation of JNK and p38 MAPKs induced by the agonists for TLR3, TLR4, and TLR5, was clearly attenuated. Consistent with these observations, TLR-induced production of a series of inflammatory cytokines was significantly attenuated, suggesting that LINCR positively regulates innate immune responses by promoting the activation of JNK and p38. Interestingly, our further mechanistic study identified MAPK phosphatase-1 (MKP1), a negative regulator of MAP kinases, as a ubiquitination target of LINCR. Thus, our results demonstrate that TLRs fine-tune the activation of MAP kinase pathways by balancing LINCR (the positive regulator) and MKP1 (the negative regulator), which may contribute to the induction of optimal immune responses.

Abstract
Overactivation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) triggers a noncanonical form of programmed cell death (PCD) called parthanatos, yet the mechanisms of its induction are not fully understood. We have recently demonstrated that the aggresome-like induced structures (ALIS) composed of the autophagy receptor SQSTM1/p62 and K48-linked polyubiquitinated proteins (p62-based ALIS) mediate parthanatos. In this study, we identified the D1 dopamine receptor agonist YM435 as a unique parthanatos inhibitor that acts as the disaggregating agent for the p62-based ALIS. We found that YM435 structurally reduces aggregability of the ALIS, and then increases its hydrophilicity and liquidity, which prevents parthanatos. Moreover, dopamine and L-DOPA, a dopamine precursor, also prevented parthanatos by reducing the aggregability of the ALIS. Together, these observations suggest that aggregability of the p62-based ALIS determines the sensitivity to parthanatos, and the pharmacological properties of YM435 that reduces the aggregability may be suitable for therapeutic drugs for parthanatos-related diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases.

Amifostine ameliorates bleomycin-induced murine pulmonary fibrosis via NAD +/SIRT1/AMPK pathway-mediated effects on mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism. Eur J Med Res 2024; 29:68.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating chronic lung disease characterized by irreversible scarring of the lung parenchyma. Despite various interventions aimed at mitigating several different molecular aspects of the disease, only two drugs with limited clinical efficacy have so far been approved for IPF therapy. OBJECTIVE We investigated the therapeutic efficacy of amifostine, a detoxifying drug clinically used for radiation-caused cytotoxicity, in bleomycin-induced murine pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS C57BL6/J mice were intratracheally instilled with 3 U/kg of bleomycin. Three doses of amifostine (WR-2721, 200 mg/kg) were administered intraperitoneally on days 1, 3, and 5 after the bleomycin challenge. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected on day 7 and day 21 for the assessment of lung inflammation, metabolites, and fibrotic injury. Human fibroblasts were treated in vitro with transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1), followed by amifostine (WR-1065, 1-4 µg/mL) treatment. The effects of TGF-β1 and amifostine on the mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were assessed by live cell imaging of MitoSOX. Cellular metabolism was assessed by the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), the oxygen consumption rate (OCR), and the concentrations of various energy-related metabolites as measured by mass spectrum (MS). Western blot analysis was performed to investigate the effect of amifostine on sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and adenosine monophosphate activated kinase (AMPK). RESULTS Three doses of amifostine significantly attenuated lung inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis. Pretreatment and post-treatment of human fibroblast cells with amifostine blocked TGF-β1-induced mitochondrial ROS production and mitochondrial dysfunction in human fibroblast cells. Further, treatment of fibroblasts with TGF-β1 shifted energy metabolism away from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and towards glycolysis, as observed by an altered metabolite profile including a decreased ratio of NAD + /NADH and increased lactate concentration. Treatment with amifostine significantly restored energy metabolism and activated SIRT1, which in turn activated AMPK. The activation of AMPK was required to mediate the effects of amifostine on mitochondrial homeostasis and pulmonary fibrosis. This study provides evidence that repurposing of the clinically used drug amifostine may have therapeutic applications for IPF treatment. CONCLUSION Amifostine inhibits bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis by restoring mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) positively regulates oxidative stress and inflammation in different diseases. Takinib, a novel and specific TAK1 inhibitor, has beneficial effects in a variety of disorders. However, the effects of takinib on early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Our study showed that takinib administration significantly inhibited phosphorylated TAK1 expression after SAH. In addition, takinib suppressed M1 microglial polarization and promoted M2 microglial polarization. Furthermore, blockade of TAK1 by takinib reduced neuroinflammation, oxidative damage, brain edema, and neuronal apoptosis, and improved neurological behavior after SAH. Mechanistically, we revealed that TAK1 inhibition by takinib mitigated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and ROS-mediated nod-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation. In contrast, NLRP3 activation by nigericin abated the neuroprotective effects of takinib against EBI after SAH. In general, our study demonstrated that takinib could protect against EBI by targeting TAK1-ROS-NLRP3 inflammasome signaling. Inhibition of TAK1 might be a promising option in the management of SAH.

Abstract
Ex vivo machine perfusion (EVMP) is an emerging technique for preserving explanted solid organs with primary application in allogeneic organ transplantation. EVMP has been established as an alternative to the standard of care static-cold preservation, allowing for prolonged preservation and real-time monitoring of organ quality while reducing/preventing ischemia-reperfusion injury. Moreover, it has paved the way to involve expanded criteria donors, e.g., after circulatory death, thus expanding the donor organ pool. Ongoing improvements in EVMP protocols, especially expanding the duration of preservation, paved the way for its broader application, in particular for reconditioning and modification of diseased organs and tumor and infection therapies and regenerative approaches. Moreover, implementing EVMP for in vivo-like preclinical studies improving disease modeling raises significant interest, while providing an ideal interface for bioengineering and genetic manipulation. These approaches can be applied not only in an allogeneic and xenogeneic transplant setting but also in an autologous setting, where patients can be on temporary organ support while the diseased organs are treated ex vivo, followed by reimplantation of the cured organ. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the differences and similarities in abdominal (kidney and liver) and thoracic (lung and heart) EVMP, focusing on the organ-specific components and preservation techniques, specifically on the composition of perfusion solutions and their supplements and perfusion temperatures and flow conditions. Novel treatment opportunities beyond organ transplantation and limitations of abdominal and thoracic EVMP are delineated to identify complementary interdisciplinary approaches for the application and development of this technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE C1q/tumour necrosis factor-related protein 12 (CTRP12) is closely related to coronary artery disease and has an outstanding cardioprotective effect. However, whether CTRP12 participates in heart failure (HF) has not been well studied. This work aimed to explore the role and mechanism of CTRP12 in post-myocardial infarction (MI) HF. METHODS Rats were subjected to left anterior descending artery ligation and then raised for six weeks to establish post-MI HF. Recombinant adeno-associated virus-mediated gene transfer was applied to overexpress or silence CTRP12 in rat hearts. RT-qPCR, Immunoblot, Echocardiography, Haematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, Masson's trichrome staining, TUNEL staining and ELISA were carried out. RESULTS CTRP12 levels were decreased in the hearts of rats with post-MI HF. The overexpression of CTRP12 improved cardiac function and attenuated cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in rats with post-MI HF. CTRP12 silencing exacerbated cardiac dysfunction, hypertrophy and fibrosis in rats with post-MI HF. The cardiac apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammatory response induced by post-MI HF were weakened by CTRP12 overexpression or aggravated by CTRP12 silencing. CTRP12 inhibited the activation of the transforming growth factor-β activated kinase 1 (TAK1)-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway in the hearts of rats with post-MI HF. Treatment with the TAK1 inhibitor reversed the adverse effects of CTRP12 silencing on post-MI HF. CONCLUSIONS CTRP12 protects against post-MI HF by modulating the TAK1-p38 MAPK/JNK pathway. CTRP12 may be a therapeutic target for the treatment of post-MI HF.

Reactive sulfur species disaggregate the SQSTM1/p62-based aggresome-like induced structures via the HSP70 induction and prevent parthanatos. J Biol Chem 2023; 299:104710.

Abstract
Reactive sulfur species (RSS) have emerged as key regulators of protein quality control. However, the mechanisms by which RSS contribute to cellular processes are not fully understood. In this study, we identified a novel function of RSS in preventing parthanatos, a non-apoptotic form of cell death that is induced by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and mediated by the aggresome-like induced structures (ALIS) composed of SQSTM1/p62. We found that sodium tetrasulfide (Na2S4), a donor of RSS, strongly suppressed oxidative stress-dependent ALIS formation and subsequent parthanatos. On the other hand, the inhibitors of the RSS-producing enzymes, such as 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST) and cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), clearly enhanced ALIS formation and parthanatos. Interestingly, we found that Na2S4 activated heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) by promoting its dissociation from heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), leading to accelerated transcription of HSP70. Considering that the genetic deletion of HSP70 allowed the enhanced ALIS formation, these findings suggest that RSS prevent parthanatos by specifically suppressing ALIS formation through induction of HSP70. Taken together, our results demonstrate a novel mechanism by which RSS prevent cell death, as well as a novel physiological role of RSS in contributing to protein quality control through HSP70 induction, which may lead to better understanding of the bioactivity of RSS.

Hirata Y, Kashiwabara N, Nada Y, Inoue A, Sato E, Noguchi T, Matsuzawa A. A comprehensive toxicological analysis of trans-fatty acids (TFAs) reveals a pro-apoptotic action specific to industrial TFAs counteracted by polyunsaturated FAs. Sci Rep 2023; 13:5883. [PMID: 37041254 PMCID: PMC10090069 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-32083-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 04/13/2023] Open
Abstract
trans-Fatty acids (TFAs) are unsaturated fatty acids containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond in trans configuration, which are classified into two groups according to their food source: industrial TFAs (iTFAs) and ruminant TFAs (rTFAs). Previous epidemiological evidence has demonstrated a preferential association of iTFAs, rather than rTFAs, with various diseases including cardiovascular diseases. However, it is still unknown how iTFAs exert their specific toxicity and what effective treatments are available to mitigate their toxicity. Here, we performed a comprehensive toxicological assessment of TFAs based on the toxicity mechanism that we established previously. We found that iTFAs including elaidic acid (EA), but not other types of fatty acids including rTFAs, had a strong pro-apoptotic effect upon treatment of extracellular ATP, a damage-associated molecular pattern that induces apoptosis through the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1)-p38 MAP kinase pathway. We also found that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), potently suppressed EA-dependent increase in ASK1 activation and apoptosis. These results demonstrate that iTFAs specifically exert toxicity by targeting ASK1, and that PUFAs serve as their effective suppressor. Our study provides a molecular basis for risk assessment of foods, and for new prevention and treatment strategies for TFA-related diseases.

Abstract
Antibiotics are one of the greatest discoveries of medicine of the past century. Despite their invaluable contribution to infectious disease, their administration could lead to side effects that in some cases are serious. The toxicity of some antibiotics is in part due to their interaction with mitochondria: these organelles derive from a bacterial ancestor and possess specific translation machinery that shares similarities with the bacterial counterpart. In other cases, the antibiotics could interfere with mitochondrial functions even if their main bacterial targets are not shared with the eukaryotic cells. The purpose of this review is to summarize the effects of antibiotics administration on mitochondrial homeostasis and the opportunity that some of these molecules could represent in cancer treatment. The importance of antimicrobial therapy is unquestionable, but the identification of interaction with eukaryotic cells and in particular with mitochondria is crucial to reduce the toxicity of these drugs and to explore other useful medical applications.

The Distinct Roles of LKB1 and AMPK in p53-Dependent Apoptosis Induced by Cisplatin. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231710064.

Abstract
Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that acts as a key tumor suppressor protein by activating its downstream kinases, such as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). However, the regulatory actions of LKB1 and AMPK on DNA damage response (DDR) remain to be explored. In this study, we investigated the function of LKB1 in DDR induced by cisplatin, a representative DNA-damaging agent, and found that LKB1 stabilizes and activates p53 through the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway, which promotes cisplatin-induced apoptosis in human fibrosarcoma cell line HT1080. On the other hand, we found that AMPKα1 and α2 double knockout (DKO) cells showed enhanced stabilization of p53 and increased susceptibility to apoptosis induced by cisplatin, suggesting that AMPK negatively regulates cisplatin-induced apoptosis. Moreover, the additional stabilization of p53 and subsequent apoptosis in AMPK DKO cells were clearly canceled by the treatment with the antioxidants, raising the possibility that AMPK suppresses the p53 activation mediated by oxidative stress. Thus, our findings unexpectedly demonstrate the reciprocal regulation of p53 by LKB1 and AMPK in DDR, which provides insights into the molecular mechanisms of DDR.

Antibiotic Therapy and Athletes: Is the Mitochondrial Dysfunction the Real Achilles’ Heel? Sports (Basel) 2022; 10:sports10090131.

Abstract
It is widely recognized that athletes consume oral antibiotics almost twice as often as observed in the non-sports population in order to reduce as much as possible the period of inactivity due to bacterial diseases. However, increasing evidences have demonstrated the ability of some classes of antibiotics to induce muscle weakness, pain, and a feeling of fatigue upon resuming physical activity conditions that considerably limit the athletic performance of athletes, ascribable to alterations in the biochemical mechanisms underlying normal musculoskeletal activity, such as mitochondrial respiration. For this reason, tailoring a treatment plan for effective antibiotics that limit an athlete’s risk is paramount to their safety and ability to maintain adequate athletic performance. The present review illustrates and critically analyzes the evidence on the use of antibiotics in sports, deepening the molecular mechanisms underlying the onset and development of muscle–tendon alterations in athletes as well as delineating the pharmacological strategies aimed at counteracting such adverse events.

Abstract
Mitochondria, mainly known as energy factories of eukaryotic cells, also exert several additional signaling and metabolic functions and are today recognized as major cellular biosynthetic and signaling hubs. Mitochondria possess their own genome (mitochondrial DNA-mtDNA), that encodes proteins essential for oxidative phosphorylation, and mutations in it are an important contributor to human disease. The mtDNA mutations often exist in heteroplasmic conditions, with both healthy and mutant versions of the mtDNA residing in patients' cells and the level of mutant mtDNA may vary between different tissues and organs and affect the clinical outcome of the disease. Thus, shifting the ratio between healthy and mutant mtDNA in patients' cells provides an intriguing therapeutic option for mtDNA diseases. In this review we describe current strategies for modulating mitochondrial heteroplasmy levels with engineered endonucleases including mitochondrially targeted TALENs and Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) and discuss their therapeutic potential. These gene therapy tools could in the future provide therapeutic help both for patients with mitochondrial disease as well as in preventing the transfer of pathogenic mtDNA mutations from a mother to her offspring.

The polypeptide antibiotic polymyxin B acts as a pro-inflammatory irritant by preferentially targeting macrophages. J Antibiot (Tokyo) 2022; 75:29-39. [PMID: 34824374 DOI: 10.1038/s41429-021-00490-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2021] [Revised: 10/05/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Polymyxin B (PMB) is an essential antibiotic active against multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRP). However, the clinical use of PMB is limited, because PMB causes serious side effects, such as nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity, probably due to its cytotoxic activity. However, cytotoxic mechanisms of PMB are poorly understood. In this study, we found that macrophages are particularly sensitive to PMB, when compared with other types of cells, including fibroblasts and proximal tubule (PT) cells. Of note, PMB-induced necrosis of macrophages allowed passive release of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). Moreover, upon exposure of PMB to macrophages, the innate immune system mediated by the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome that promotes the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β) was stimulated. Interestingly, PMB-induced IL-1β release occurred in the absence of the pore-forming protein gasdermin D (GSDMD), which supports the idea that PMB causes plasma membrane rupture accompanying necrosis. Emerging evidence has suggested that both HMGB1 and IL-1β released from macrophages contribute to excessive inflammation that promote pathogenesis of various diseases, including nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. Therefore, these biochemical properties of PMB in macrophages may be associated with the induction of the adverse organ toxicity, which provides novel insights into the mechanisms of PMB-related side effects.

Abstract
trans-Fatty acids (TFAs) are food-derived fatty acids that possess one or more trans double bonds between carbon atoms. Compelling epidemiological and clinical evidence has demonstrated the association of TFA consumption with various diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the underlying etiology is poorly understood since the mechanisms of action of TFAs remain to be clarified. Previous studies have shown that single treatment with TFAs induce inflammation and cell death, but to a much lesser extent than saturated fatty acids (SFAs) that are well established as a risk factor for diseases linked with inflammation and cell death, which cannot explain the particularly higher association of TFAs with atherosclerosis than SFAs. In our series of studies, we have established the role of TFAs as an enhancer of inflammation and cell death. We found that pretreatment with TFAs strongly promoted apoptosis induced by either extracellular ATP, one of the damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) leaked from damaged cells, or DNA damaging-agents, including doxorubicin and cisplatin, thorough enhancing activation of the stress-responsive mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase p38/c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathways; pretreatment with SFAs or cis isomers of TFAs had only minor or no effect, suggesting the uniqueness of the pro-apoptotic role of TFAs among fatty acids. Our findings will provide an insight into understanding of the pathogenesis mechanisms, and open up a new avenue for developing prevention strategies and therapies for TFA-related diseases.

Abstract
Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is a key component of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor signaling complex that regulates both pro- and anti-apoptotic signaling. The reciprocal functions of RIPK1 in TNF signaling are determined by the state of the posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of RIPK1. However, the underlying mechanisms associated with the PTMs of RIPK1 are unclear. In this study, we found that RING finger protein 4 (RNF4), a RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligase, is required for the RIPK1 autophosphorylation and subsequent cell death. It has been reported that RNF4 negatively regulates TNF-α-induced activation of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) through downregulation of transforming growth factor β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) activity, indicating the possibility that RNF4-mediated TAK1 suppression results in enhanced sensitivity to cell death. However, interestingly, RNF4 was needed to induce RIPK1-mediated cell death even in the absence of TAK1, suggesting that RNF4 can promote RIPK1-mediated cell death without suppressing the TAK1 activity. Thus, these observations reveal the existence of a novel mechanism whereby RNF4 promotes the autophosphorylation of RIPK1, which provides a novel insight into the molecular basis for the PTMs of RIPK1.
