[PMID: 38491812 DOI: 10.1002/tox.24199] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), a heterotrimeric holoenzyme (scaffolding, catalytic, and regulatory subunits), regulates dephosphorylation for more than half of serine/threonine phosphosites and exhibits diverse cellular functions. Although several studies on natural products and miRNAs have emphasized their impacts on PP2A regulation, their connections lack systemic organization. Moreover, only part of the PP2A family has been investigated. This review focuses on the PP2A-modulating effects of natural products and miRNAs' interactions with potential PP2A targets in cancer and non-cancer cells. PP2A-modulating natural products and miRNAs were retrieved through a literature search. Utilizing the miRDB database, potential PP2A targets of these PP2A-modulating miRNAs for the whole set (17 members) of the PP2A family were retrieved. Finally, PP2A-modulating natural products and miRNAs were linked via a literature search. This review provides systemic directions for assessing natural products and miRNAs relating to the PP2A-modulating functions in cancer and disease treatments.

Abstract
The ubiquitinproteasome system (UPS) is the main mechanism responsible for the intracellular degradation of misfolded or damaged proteins. Under inflammatory conditions, the immunoproteasome, an isoform of the proteasome, can be induced, enhancing the antigen-presenting function of the UPS. Furthermore, the immunoproteasome also serves nonimmune functions, such as maintaining protein homeostasis and regulating signalling pathways, and is involved in the pathophysiological processes of various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the current research on the involvement of the immunoproteasome in cardiovascular diseases, with the ultimate goal of identifying novel strategies for the treatment of these conditions.

Abstract
Proper protein degradation is required for cellular protein homeostasis and organ function. Particularly, in post-mitotic cells, such as cardiomyocytes, unbalanced proteolysis due to inflammatory stimuli and oxidative stress contributes to organ dysfunction. To ensure appropriate protein turnover, eukaryotic cells exert two main degradation systems, the ubiquitin-proteasome-system and the autophagy-lysosome-pathway. It has been shown that proteasome activity affects the development of cardiac dysfunction differently, depending on the type of heart failure. Studies analyzing the inducible subtype of the proteasome, the immunoproteasome (i20S), demonstrated that the i20S plays a double role in diseased hearts. While i20S subunits are increased in cardiac hypertrophy, atrial fibrillation and partly in myocarditis, the opposite applies to diabetic cardiomyopathy and ischemia/reperfusion injury. In addition, the i20S appears to play a role in autophagy modulation depending on heart failure phenotype. This review summarizes the current literature on the i20S in different heart failure phenotypes, emphasizing the two faces of i20S in injured hearts. A selection of established i20S inhibitors is introduced and signaling pathways linking the i20S to autophagy are highlighted. Mapping the interplay of the i20S and autophagy in different types of heart failure offers potential approaches for developing treatment strategies against heart failure.

Abstract
Organelle damage is a significant contributor to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This damage often leads to disruption of endoplasmic reticulum protein regulatory programs and dysfunction of mitochondrial energy metabolism. Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum are seamlessly connected through the mitochondrial-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane (MAM), which serves as a crucial site for the exchange of organelles and metabolites. However, there is a lack of reports regarding the communication of information and metabolites between mitochondria and related organelles, which is a crucial factor in triggering myocardial I/R damage. To address this research gap, this review described the role of crosstalk between mitochondria and the correlative organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomal and nuclei involved in reperfusion injury of the heart. In summary, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the crosstalk between organelles in myocardial I/R injury, with the ultimate goal of facilitating the development of targeted therapies based on this knowledge.

Abstract
Natural bioactive compounds from plants exhibit substantial pharmacological potency and therapeutic value. However, the development of most plant bioactive compounds is hindered by low solubility and instability. Conventional pharmaceutical forms, such as tablets and capsules, only partially overcome these limitations, restricting their efficacy. With the recent development of nanotechnology, nanocarriers can enhance the bioavailability, stability, and precise intracellular transport of plant bioactive compounds. Researchers are increasingly integrating nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems (NDDS) into the development of natural plant compounds with significant success. Moreover, natural products benefit from nanotechnological enhancement and contribute to the innovation and optimization of nanocarriers via self-assembly, grafting modifications, and biomimetic designs. This review aims to elucidate the collaborative and reciprocal advancement achieved by integrating nanocarriers with botanical products, such as bioactive compounds, polysaccharides, proteins, and extracellular vesicles. This review underscores the salient challenges in nanomedicine, encompassing long-term safety evaluations of nanomedicine formulations, precise targeting mechanisms, biodistribution complexities, and hurdles in clinical translation. Further, this study provides new perspectives to leverage nanotechnology in promoting the development and optimization of natural plant products for nanomedical applications and guiding the progression of NDDS toward enhanced efficiency, precision, and safety.

Abstract
Ursolic acid (UA), a pentacyclic triterpenoid, exhibits various pharmacological actions, such as anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, anti-diabetes, heart protection, and liver protection. However, the role of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-mediated regulation of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT2B7) and bile salt export pump (BSEP)/multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) in UA against cholestatic liver injury has not been cleared. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of UA on cholestatic liver injury and its potential mechanism. The results of the liver pathology sections and blood biochemical indices demonstrated that UA significantly attenuated the cholestatic liver injury induced by alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) in a dose-dependent manner. The mRNA and protein levels of UGT2B7 and BSEP/MRP2 were remarkably increased in the liver of ANIT rats and HepG2 cells pretreated with UA, but this activation was suppressed with NRF2 silenced. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that UA prevents cholestasis, which may be associated with NRF2-mediated regulation of UGT2B7, BSEP/MRP2.

Abstract
Necroptosis and apoptosis contribute to the pathogenesis of myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and subsequent heart failure. N-arachidonoylphenolamine (AM404) is a paracetamol lipid metabolite that has pleiotropic activity to modulate the endocannabinoid system. However, the protective role of AM404 in modulating I/R-mediated myocardial damage and the underlying mechanism remain largely unknown. A murine I/R model was generated by occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. AM404 (20 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally into mice at 2 and 24 h before the I/R operation. Our data revealed that AM404 administration to mice greatly ameliorated I/R-triggered impairment of myocardial performance and reduced infarct area, myocyte apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammatory response accompanied by the reduction of receptor interacting protein kinase (RIPK)1/3- mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL)-mediated necroptosis and upregulation of the immunosubunits (β2i and β5i). In contrast, administration of epoxomicin (a proteasome inhibitor) dramatically abolished AM404-dependent protection against myocardial I/R damage. Mechanistically, AM404 treatment increases β5i expression, which interacts with Pellino-1 (Peli1), an E3 ligase, to form a complex with RIPK1/3, thereby promoting their degradation, which leads to inhibition of cardiomyocyte necroptosis in the I/R heart. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that AM404 could prevent cardiac I/R damage and may be a promising drug for the treatment of ischaemic heart disease.

Abstract
The proteasome is the main complex responsible for maintaining intracellular protein homeostasis, impairment of which is associated with cardiac ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The small molecule TCH-165 has been found to activate the 20S proteasome to remove disordered proteins in multiple myeloma and glioblastoma. However, the preventive effect of TCH-165 against I/R-mediated cardiac impairment in mice remains largely unknown. Here, a cardiac I/R model was established in mice. Heart function was assessed with echocardiography. Cardiac infarction, myocyte death, and superoxide level were evaluated by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC)-Evans blue staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick and labelling (TUNEL) assay and immunostaining, respectively. Our results showed that TCH-165 treatment markedly ameliorated I/R-mediated cardiac dysfunction and decreased the infarct size, apoptosis, and superoxide levels. Mechanistically, TCH-165 increased immunoproteasome subunit expression/activity, increasing pro-fission protein dynamin-1-like protein (DNM1L, also known as DRP1) degradation and the expression of the pro-fusion proteins mitofusin 1/2 (Mfn1/2) and thereby leading to mitochondrial fission/fusion balance. In vitro experiments confirmed that inhibition of proteasome activity by epoxomicin abolished the protective effect of TCH-165 against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced increases in cardiomyocyte apoptosis, superoxide production and mitochondrial fission. In summary, TCH-165 is a newly discovered inducer of immunoproteasome activity that exerts a preventive effect against cardiac I/R damage by targeting Drp1 degradation, indicating that it may be as a potential therapeutic candidate for ischaemic heart disease.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease has one of the highest mortality rates in the country, and methods such as thrombolysis and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can effectively improve symptoms and reduce mortality, but most patients still experience symptoms such as chest pain after PCI, which seriously affects their quality of life and increases the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events (myocardial ischaemiareperfusion injury, MIRI). MIRI has been shown to be closely associated with circadian rhythm disorders and mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria are a key component in the maintenance of normal cardiac function, and new research shows that mitochondria have circadian properties. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), as a traditional therapeutic approach characterised by a holistic concept and evidence-based treatment, has significant advantages in the treatment of MIRI, and there is an interaction between the yin-yang theory of TCM and the circadian rhythm of Western medicine at various levels. This paper reviews the clinical evidence for the treatment of MIRI in TCM, basic experimental studies on the alleviation of MIRI by TCM through the regulation of mitochondria, the important role of circadian rhythms in the pathophysiology of MIRI, and the potential mechanisms by which TCM regulates mitochondrial circadian rhythms to alleviate MIRI through the regulation of the biological clock transcription factor. It is hoped that this review will provide new insights into the clinical management, basic research and development of drugs to treat MIRI.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dynamics are critical for maintaining mitochondrial morphology and function during cardiac ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). The immunoproteasome complex is an inducible isoform of the proteasome that plays a key role in modulating inflammation and some cardiovascular diseases, but the importance of immunoproteasome catalytic subunit β2i (also known as LMP10 or MECL1) in regulating mitochondrial dynamics and cardiac I/R injury is largely unknown. Here, using β2i-knockout (KO) mice and rAAV9-β2i-injected mice, we discovered that β2i expression and its trypsin-like activity were significantly attenuated in the mouse I/R myocardium and in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Moreover, β2i-KO mice exhibited greatly enhanced I/R-mediated cardiac dysfunction, infarct size, myocyte apoptosis and oxidative stress accompanied by excessive mitochondrial fission due to Mfn1/2 and Drp1 imbalance. Conversely, cardiac overexpression of β2i in mice injected with recombinant adeno-associated virus 9 (rAAV9)-β2i ameliorated cardiac I/R injury. Mechanistically, I/R injury reduced β2i expression and activity, which increased the expression of the E3 ligase Parkin protein and promoted the degradation of mitofusin 1/2 (Mfn1/2), leading to excessive mitochondrial fission. In conclusion, our data suggest for the first time that β2i exerts a protective role against cardiac I/R injury and that increasing β2i expression may be a new therapeutic option for cardiac ischemic disease in clinical practice.

Zhang H, Xing Z, Zheng J, Shi J, Cui C. Ursolic acid ameliorates traumatic brain injury in mice by regulating microRNA-141-mediated PDCD4/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 120:110258. [PMID: 37244112 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Revised: 04/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuronal apoptosis and inflammation are the key pathogenic features of secondary brain injury, which results in the neurological impairment that traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients experience. Ursolic Acid (UA) has been shown to have neuroprotective properties against brain damage, however, detailed mechanisms have not been fully disclosed. Research on brain-related microRNAs (miRNAs) has opened up new possibilities for the neuroprotective treatment of UA by manipulating miRNAs. The present study was designed to investigate the impact of UA on neuronal apoptosis and the inflammatory response in TBI mice. METHODS The mice's neurologic condition was assessed using the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) and the learning and memory abilities were assessed using the Morris water maze (MWM). Cell apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation were utilized to examine the impact of UA on neuronal pathological damage. miR-141-3p was selected to evaluate whether UA influences miRNAs in a way that has neuroprotective benefits. RESULTS The results showed that UA markedly decreased brain edema and neuronal mortality through oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in TBI mice. Using data from the GEO database, we found that miR-141-3p was considerably downregulated in TBI mice and that this downregulation was reversed by UA treatment. Further studies have shown that UA regulates miR-141-3p expression to exhibit its neuroprotective effect in mouse models and cell injury models. Then, miR-141-3p was discovered to directly target PDCD4 in TBI mice and neurons, a well-known PI3K/AKT pathway regulator in the neurons. Most importantly, the upregulation of phosphorylated (p)-AKT and p-PI3K provided the most compelling evidence that UA reactivated the PI3K/AKT pathway in the TBI mouse model, which was through regulating miR-141-3p. CONCLUSION Our findings support the notion that UA can improve TBI by modulating miR-141 mediated PDCD4/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

[PMID: 37098317 PMCID: PMC10149391 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2023.102706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 04/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress is considered a key factor contributing to the initiation and development of cardiac injury following ischaemia‒reperfusion (I/R). Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5) is a rate-limiting enzyme for leukotriene biosynthesis. MK-886 is an inhibitor of ALOX5 that exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, the significance of MK-886 in preventing I/R-mediated cardiac injury and the underlying mechanism remain unclear. Cardiac I/R model was produced by ligation/release of the left anterior descending artery. MK-886 (20 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally into mice at 1 and 24 h before I/R. Our results indicated that MK-886 treatment significantly attenuated I/R-mediated cardiac contractile dysfunction and decreased the infarct area, myocyte apoptosis, and oxidative stress accompanied with reduction of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (keap1) and upregulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2). Conversely, administration of the proteasome inhibitor epoxomicin and NRF2 inhibitor ML385 greatly abrogated MK-886-mediated cardioprotection after I/R injury. Mechanistically, MK-886 enhanced the expression of the immunoproteasome subunit β5i, which interacted with keap1 and enhanced its degradation, leading to activation of the NRF2-dependent antioxidant response and improvement of mitochondrial fusion-fission balance in the I/R-treated heart. In summary, our present findings indicated that MK-886 could protect the heart against I/R injury and highlight that MK-886 may represent a promising therapeutic candidate for preventing ischaemic disease.
