Abstract
Cystathionine γ-lyase (CSEγ) is a hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-producing enzyme. Endothelial H2S production can mediate vasodilatory effects, contributing to the alleviation of hypertension (high blood pressure). Recent studies have suggested a role of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in hypertension, although its underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we addressed the potential regulation of CSEγ by HDAC6 in angiotensin II (AngII)-induced hypertension and its molecular details focusing on CSEγ posttranslational modification. Treatment of mice with a selective HDAC6 inhibitor tubastatin A (TubA) alleviated high blood pressure and vasoconstriction induced by AngII. Cotreatment of the aorta and human aortic endothelial cells with TubA recovered AngII-mediated decreased H2S levels. AngII treatment upregulated HDAC6 mRNA and protein expression, but conversely downregulated CSEγ protein. Notably, potent HDAC6 inhibitors and HDAC6 siRNA as well as a proteasomal inhibitor increased CSEγ protein levels and blocked the downregulatory effect of AngII on CSEγ. In contrast, other HDAC isoforms-specific inhibitors and siRNAs did not show such blocking effects. Transfected CSEγ protein levels were also reciprocally regulated by AngII and TubA, and were reduced by wild-type, but not by deacetylase-deficient, HDAC6. Moreover, TubA significantly increased both protein stability and K73 acetylation level of CSEγ. Consistent with these results, AngII induced CSEγ ubiquitination and degradation, which was inhibited by TubA. Our results indicate that AngII promoted HDAC6-dependent deacetylation of CSEγ at K73 residue, leading to its ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, which underlies AngII-induced hypertension. Overall, this study suggests that upregulation of CSEγ and H2S through HDAC6 inhibition may be considered as a valid strategy for preventing the progression of hypertension.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4‐phosphate 5‐kinase (PIP5K) family members generate phosphatidylinositol 4,5‐bisphosphate (PIP2), a critical lipid regulator of diverse physiological processes. The PIP5K‐dependent PIP2 generation can also act upstream of the oncogenic phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway. Many studies have demonstrated various mechanisms of spatiotemporal regulation of PIP5K catalytic activity. However, there are few studies on regulation of PIP5K protein stability. Here, we examined potential regulation of PIP5Kα, a PIP5K isoform, via ubiquitin‐proteasome system, and its implication for breast cancer. Our results showed that the ubiquitin ligase NEDD4 (neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down‐regulated gene 4) mediated ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of PIP5Kα, consequently reducing plasma membrane PIP2 level. NEDD4 interacted with the C‐terminal region and ubiquitinated the N‐terminal lysine 88 in PIP5Kα. In addition, PIP5Kα gene disruption inhibited epidermal growth factor (EGF)‐induced Akt activation and caused significant proliferation defect in breast cancer cells. Notably, PIP5Kα K88R mutant that was resistant to NEDD4‐mediated ubiquitination and degradation showed more potentiating effects on Akt activation by EGF and cell proliferation than wild‐type PIP5Kα. Collectively, these results suggest that PIP5Kα is a novel degradative substrate of NEDD4 and that the PIP5Kα‐dependent PIP2 pool contributing to breast cancer cell proliferation through PI3K/Akt activation is negatively controlled by NEDD4.

Abstract
The epithelium of the epididymal tubule has different biological functions in different regions of the tubule. Each region is further organized into lobules or intra-regional segments surrounded by connective tissue septa (CTS). Epididymal segmentation has received little direct attention, yet there is considerable evidence that expression of mRNA and protein often begins or ends precisely at the CTS border of a segment. How such 'on-off' regulation occurs coincident with the passing of the tubule from one segment to the next is unknown. This study examined the segmentation of epididymides in rats and mice. The average adult Sprague-Dawley rat and C57BL/6 mouse caput, corpus and cauda epididymides has seven, two and four, and three, one and two segments, respectively. The apoptosis response of the caput epididymal epithelium to deprivation of lumicrine factors 24 h after efferent duct ligation in rats and the epididymal expression of a marker protein, beta-galactosidase, in mice were segmented precisely. This validated both at a general response and at a specific protein level that many epididymal functions are regulated within segments. Blue dextran (molecular weight 20000) and erythrocine red (molecular weight 880) dyes infused into the interstitial space of specific segments by micropuncture were retained by the CTS of the segments. In similar micropuncture experiments, [(3)H]H(2)O (molecular weight 18) was able to diffuse into an adjacent segment relatively freely whereas [(14)C]polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 4000) could not. These studies indicate that the interstitium of intra-regional segments is organized into different physiological compartments and that these compartments play a role in regulating the epididymal epithelium.
