Karunakaran U, Ha EY, Elumalai S, Won KC, Moon JS. Mitochondrial ALDH2 improves ß-cell survival and function against doxorubicin-induced apoptosis by targeting CK2 signaling. J Diabetes Investig 2024; 15:684-692. [PMID: 38713732 DOI: 10.1111/jdi.14230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to better understand how the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin contributes to the development of β-cell dysfunction and to explore its relationship with mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2). MATERIALS AND METHODS In order to investigate this hypothesis, doxorubicin was administered to INS-1 cells, a rat insulinoma cell line, either with or without several target protein activators and inhibitors. ALDH2 activity was detected with a commercial kit and protein levels were determined with western blot. Mitochondrial ROS, membrane potential, and lipid ROS were determined by commercial fluorescent probes. The cell viability was measured by CCK-assay. RESULTS Exposure of INS-1 cells to doxorubicin decreased active insulin signaling resulting in elevated ALDH2 degradation, compared with control cells by the induction of acid sphingomyelinase mediated ceramide induction. Further, ceramide induction potentiated doxorubicin induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Treatment with the ALDH2 agonist, ALDA1, blocked doxorubicin-induced acid sphingomyelinase activation which significantly blocked ceramide induction and mitochondrial dysfunction mediated cell death. Treatment with the ALDH2 agonist, ALDA1, stimulated casein kinase-2 (CK2) mediated insulin signaling activation. CK2 silencing neutralized the function of ALDH2 in the doxorubicin treated INS-1 cells. CONCLUSIONS Mitochondrial ALDH2 activation could inhibit the progression of doxorubicin induced pancreatic β-cell dysfunction by inhibiting the acid sphingomyelinase induction of ceramide, by regulating the activation of CK2 signaling. Our research lays the foundation of ALDH2 activation as a therapeutic target for the precise treatment of chemotherapy drug induced β-cell dysfunction.

Abstract
With the aging global population, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoporosis(OP) are becoming increasingly prevalent. Diabetic osteoporosis (DOP) is a metabolic bone disorder characterized by abnormal bone tissue structure and reduced bone strength in patients with diabetes. Studies have revealed a close association among diabetes, increased fracture risk, and disturbances in iron metabolism. This review explores the concept of ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic cell death process dependent on intracellular iron, focusing on its role in DOP. Iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, particularly impacting pancreatic β-cells, osteoblasts (OBs) and osteoclasts (OCs), contributes to DOP. The intricate interplay between iron dysregulation, which comprises deficiency and overload, and DOP has been discussed, emphasizing how excessive iron accumulation triggers ferroptosis in DOP. This concise overview highlights the need to understand the complex relationship between T2DM and OP, particularly ferroptosis. This review aimed to elucidate the pathogenesis of ferroptosis in DOP and provide a prospective for future research targeting interventions in the field of ferroptosis.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease, the prevalence of which is constantly increasing worldwide. It is often burdened by disabling comorbidities that reduce the quality and expectancy of life of the affected individuals. The traditional complications of diabetes are generally described as macrovascular complications (e.g., coronary heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, and stroke), and microvascular complications (e.g., diabetic kidney disease, retinopathy, and neuropathy). Recently, due to advances in diabetes management and the increased life expectancy of diabetic patients, a strong correlation between diabetes and other pathological conditions (such as liver diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, cognitive impairments, and sleep disorders) has emerged. Therefore, these comorbidities have been proposed as emerging complications of diabetes. P66Shc is a redox protein that plays a role in oxidative stress, apoptosis, glucose metabolism, and cellular aging. It can be regulated by various stressful stimuli typical of the diabetic milieu and is involved in various types of organ and tissue damage under diabetic conditions. Although its role in the pathogenesis of diabetes remains controversial, there is strong evidence regarding the involvement of p66Shc in the traditional complications of diabetes. In this review, we will summarize the evidence supporting the role of p66Shc in the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications, focusing for the first time on the emerging complications of diabetes.

Mechanisms of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells barrier dysfunction induced by LPS: The roles of ceramides and the Txnip/NLRP3 inflammasome. Microvasc Res 2023; 147:104491.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are characterized by pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs) barrier dysfunction and proinflammatory cytokine influx into lung tissue, resulting in pulmonary oedema. Ceramide overproduction is an important mediator of pulmonary hyperinflammation and pulmonary oedema in Acute lung injury (ALI). Ceramides induce NLRP3 inflammasome activation are essential for the hyperinflammatory response. However, the roles and specific mechanisms of ceramide-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation, proinflammatory cytokine manufacturing and PMVECs barrier dysfunction in ALI are unclear. Herein, pretreatment with the acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) inhibitor imipramine (but not a neutral sphingomyelinase (NSMase) inhibitor or de novo pathway inhibitor) significantly inhibited ceramide early production in rats with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI; Furthermore, the Txnip/NLRP3 inflammasome activation, proinflammatory cytokine release, increased PMVECs permeability and lung injury were significantly decreased. Verapamil, a Txnip inhibitor, substantially inhibited Txnip/NLRP3 inflammasome activation, proinflammatory cytokine release, increased PMVECs permeability and lung injury in rats with C8-ceramide-induced ALI. In vitro, short hairpin RNA-mediated Txnip silencing significantly inhibited C8-ceramide-induced Txnip/NLRP3 inflammasome activation in NR8383 alveolar macrophages (AMs) and early secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β (4-12 h) as well as IL-6 and TNF-α at subsequent times (later than 12 h). However, C8-ceramide significantly increased the early secretion (within 8 h) of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in a co-culture model of NR8383 AMs and PMVECs, and Txnip silencing of NR8383 AMs inhibited the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduced cytoskeletal rearrangements, intercellular connection breakage and hyperpermeability in PMVECs. Overall, our results suggest that in LPS-induced ALI, ceramide-mediated Txnip/NLRP3 inflammasome activation in NR8383 AMs leads to early IL-1β release, subsequently inducing PMVECs injury and release of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α, ultimately leading to PMVECs barrier dysfunction and ALI.

Abstract
It is well-documented that diabetes is an inflammatory and oxidative disease, with an escalating global burden. Still, there is no definite treatment for diabetes or even prevention of its harmful complications. Therefore, understanding the molecular pathways associated with diabetes might help in finding a solution. p66Shc is a member of Shc family proteins, and it is considered as an oxidative stress sensor and regulator in cells. There are inconsistent data about the role of p66Shc in inducing diabetes, but accumulating evidence supports its role in the pathogenesis of diabetes-related complications, including macro and microangiopathies. There is growing hope that by understanding and targeting molecular pathways involved in this network, prevention of diabetes or its complications would be achievable. This review provides an overview about the role of p66Shc in the development of diabetes and its complications.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a cardiovascular complication that tends to occur in patients with diabetes, obesity, or insulin resistance, with a higher late mortality rate. Sustained hyperglycemia, increased free fatty acids, or insulin resistance induces metabolic disorders in cardiac tissues and cells, leading to myocardial fibrosis, left ventricular hypertrophy, diastolic and/or systolic dysfunction, and finally develop into congestive heart failure. The close connection between all signaling pathways and the complex pathogenesis of DCM cause difficulties in finding effective targets for the treatment of DCM. It reported that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) could regulate cell energy substrate metabolism, reduce insulin resistance, protect cardiomyocytes, and improve myocardial function by acting on related key proteins such as differentiation cluster 36 (CD36) and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4). In this article, the relative mechanisms of H2S in alleviating metabolic disorders of DCM were reviewed, and how H2S can better prevent and treat DCM in clinical practice will be discussed.

Abstract
The cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) is a scavenger receptor present on various types of cells and has multiple biological functions that may be important in inflammation and in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases, including diabetes. Here, we consider recent insights into how the CD36 response becomes deregulated under metabolic conditions, as well as the therapeutic benefits of CD36 inhibition, which may provide clues for developing strategies aimed at the treatment or prevention of diabetes associated with metabolic diseases. To facilitate this process further, it is important to pinpoint regulatory mechanisms that are relevant under physiological and pathological conditions. In particular, understanding the mechanisms involved in dictating specific CD36 downstream cellular outcomes will aid in the discovery of potent compounds that target specific CD36 downstream signaling cascades.

Abstract
Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine component, is widely used to alleviate symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases. It has been confirmed that GBE exerts its pharmacological effect mainly due to its antioxidant activity; however, the molecular mechanism responsible for this effect remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the detailed mechanism of GBE, the main component of Gingko biloba dropping medicine, against oxidative glutamate toxicity in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. The SH-SY5Y cells were untreated or pretreated with GBE followed by glutamate stimulation. Cell viability was assessed using an MTT assay. In addition, oxidative stress indexes, including intracellular ROS generation and NADPH oxidase and caspase activity, were also measured. The protein expression of key signaling factors involved in the redoxosome-p66Shc pathway was evaluated to elucidate the neuroprotective effect of GBE. The results showed that GBE treatment significantly attenuated the glutamate-induced cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells by suppressing oxidative stress. A mechanical study revealed that redoxosome-p66Shc activation was associated with glutamate-induced cytotoxicity, which caused mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death. Interestingly, GBE treatment attenuated the activation of redoxosome-p66Shc in a dose-dependent manner, which suggested that the protective effect of GBE on SH-SY5Y cells against oxidative glutamate toxicity may be mediated by the modulation of redoxosome-p66Shc signaling. The current findings contribute to a better understanding of the therapeutic effect of GBE and indicate that redoxosome-p66Shc signaling might be a novel therapeutic target in the prevention and/or treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
In type 2 diabetes, metabolic stress has a negative impact on pancreatic β-cell function and survival (T2D). Although the pathogenesis of metabolic stress is complex, an imbalance in redox homeostasis causes abnormal tissue damage and β-cell death due to low endogenous antioxidant expression levels in β-cells. Under diabetogenic conditions, the susceptibility of β-cells to oxidative damage by NADPH oxidase has been related to contributing to β-cell dysfunction. Here, we consider recent insights into how the redox response becomes deregulated under diabetic conditions by NADPH oxidase, as well as the therapeutic benefits of NOX inhibitors, which may provide clues for understanding the pathomechanisms and developing strategies aimed at the treatment or prevention of metabolic stress associated with β-cell failure.

Jiang J, Shi Y, Cao J, Lu Y, Sun G, Yang J. Role of ASM/Cer/TXNIP signaling module in the NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Lipids Health Dis 2021; 20:19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to explore the effects of ceramide (Cer) on NLRP3 inflammasome activation and their underlying mechanisms. METHODS Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in J774A.1 cells and THP-1 macrophages was used as an in vitro model of inflammation. Western blotting and real-time PCR (RT-PCR) were used to detect the protein and mRNA levels, respectively. IL-1β and IL-18 levels were measured by ELISA. ASM assay kit and immunofluorescence were used to detect ASM activity and Cer content. RESULTS Imipramine, a well-known inhibitor of ASM, significantly inhibited LPS/ATP-induced activity of ASM and the consequent accumulation of Cer. Additionally, imipramine suppressed the LPS/ATP-induced expression of thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP), NLRP3, caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 at the protein and mRNA level. Interestingly verapamil, a TXNIP inhibitor, suppressed LPS/ATP-induced activation of TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome but did not affect LPS/ATP-induced ASM activation and Cer formation. TXNIP siRNA and verapamil inhibited C2-Cer-induced upregulation of TXNIP and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. In addition, the pretreatment of cells with sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate (SSO), an irreversible inhibitor of the scavenger receptor CD36, blocked Cer-induced upregulation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity, TXNIP expression, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Inhibition of NF-κB activation by SN50 prevented Cer-induced upregulation of TXNIP and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome but did not affect CD36 expression. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that the ASM/Cer/TXNIP signaling pathway is involved in NLRP3 inflammasome activation. The results documented that the CD36-dependent NF-κB-TXNIP signaling pathway plays an essential role in the Cer-induced activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes in macrophages.

[PMID: 32763411 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2020.07.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2020] [Revised: 07/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Chronic hyperglycemia has deleterious effects on pancreatic β-cell function and survival in type 2 diabetes (T2D) due to the low expression level of endogenous antioxidants in the β-cells. Peroxiredoxin-3 (PRDX3) is a mitochondria specific H202 scavenger and protects the cell from mitochondrial damage. However, nothing is known about how glucotoxicity influences PRDX3 function in the pancreatic beta cells. Exposure of rat insulinoma INS-1 cells and human beta cells (1.1B4) to high glucose conditions (30mM) stimulated acetylation of PRDX3 which facilitates its hyper-oxidation causing mitochondrial dysfunction by SIRT1 degradation. SIRT1 deficiency induces beta cell apoptosis via NOX-JNK-p66Shc signalosome activation. Herein we investigated the direct effect of Teneligliptin, a newer DPP-4 inhibitor on beta-cell function and survival in response to high glucose conditions. Teneligliptin treatment enhances SIRT1 protein levels and activity by USP22, an ubiquitin specific peptidase. Activated SIRT1 prevents high glucose-induced PRDX3 acetylation by SIRT3 resulted in inhibition of PRDX3 hyper-oxidation thereby strengthening the mitochondrial antioxidant defense. Notably, we identify PRDX3 as a novel SIRT3 target and show their physical interaction. Intriguingly, inhibition of SIRT1 activity by EX-527 or SIRT1 siRNA knockdown exacerbated the SIRT3 mediated PRDX3 deacetylation which leads to peroxiredoxin-3 hyper-oxidation and beta-cell apoptosis by the activation of NOX-JNK-p66Shc signalosome. Collectively, our results unveil a novel and first direct effect of high glucose on PRDX3 acetylation on beta-cell dysfunction by impaired antioxidant defense and SIRT1 mediated SIRT3-PRDX3 activation by Teneligliptin suppresses high glucose-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Space exploration poses multiple challenges for mankind, not only on a technical level but also to the entire physiology of the space traveller. The human system must adapt to several environmental stressors, microgravity being one of them. Lysosomes are ubiquitous to every cell and essential for their homeostasis, playing significant roles in the regulation of autophagy, immunity, and adaptation of the organism to changes in their environment, to name a few. Dysfunction of the lysosomal system leads to age-related diseases, for example bone loss, reduced immune response or cancer. As these conditions have been shown to be accelerated following exposure to microgravity, this review elucidates the lysosomal response to real and simulated microgravity. Microgravity activates the endo-lysosomal system, with resulting impacts on bone loss, muscle atrophy and stem cell differentiation. The investigation of lysosomal adaptation to microgravity can be beneficial in the search for new biomarkers or therapeutic approaches to several disease pathologies on earth as well as the potential to mitigate pathophysiology during spaceflight.

Abstract
CD36 is a multiligand receptor contributing to glucose and lipid metabolism, immune response, inflammation, thrombosis, and fibrosis. A wide range of tissue expression includes cells sensitive to metabolic abnormalities associated with metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus (DM), such as monocytes and macrophages, epithelial cells, adipocytes, hepatocytes, skeletal and cardiac myocytes, pancreatic β-cells, kidney glomeruli and tubules cells, pericytes and pigment epithelium cells of the retina, and Schwann cells. These features make CD36 an important component of the pathogenesis of DM and its complications, but also a promising target in the treatment of these disorders. The detrimental effects of CD36 signaling are mediated by the uptake of fatty acids and modified lipoproteins, deposition of lipids and their lipotoxicity, alterations in insulin response and the utilization of energy substrates, oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis leading to the progressive, often irreversible organ dysfunction. This review summarizes the extensive knowledge of the contribution of CD36 to DM and its complications, including nephropathy, retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Impaired β-cell function is the key pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and chronic exposure of nutrient excess could lead to this tragedy. For preserving β-cell function, it is essential to understand the cause and mechanisms about the progression of β-cells failure. Glucotoxicity, lipotoxicity, and glucolipotoxicity have been suggested to be a major cause of β-cell dysfunction for decades, but not yet fully understood. Fatty acid translocase cluster determinant 36 (CD36), which is part of the free fatty acid (FFA) transporter system, has been identified in several tissues such as muscle, liver, and insulin-producing cells. Several studies have reported that induction of CD36 increases uptake of FFA in several cells, suggesting the functional interplay between glucose and FFA in terms of insulin secretion and oxidative metabolism. However, we do not currently know the regulating mechanism and physiological role of CD36 on glucolipotoxicity in pancreatic β-cells. Also, the downstream and upstream targets of CD36 related signaling have not been defined. In the present review, we will focus on the expression and function of CD36 related signaling in the pancreatic β-cells in response to hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia (ceramide) along with the clinical studies on the association between CD36 and metabolic disorders.

Abstract
We studied the long-term influence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on the pancreas of offspring and the effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) on offspring's pancreas. GDM offspring were divided into three groups: GDM offspring, n-3 PUFA-adequate-GDM offspring, and n-3 PUFA-deficient GDM offspring. All healthy and GDM offspring were fed up to 11 months old. The pancreas of GDM offspring exhibited fatty infiltration at 11 months old, whereas n-3 PUFA improved the pancreatic fatty infiltration. n-3 PUFA lowered the pancreatic oxidative stress and inflammation. Surprisingly, n-3 PUFA postponed pancreatic telomere shortening of GDM offspring at old age. Nontargeted metabolomics showed that many metabolites were altered in the pancreas of GDM offspring at old age, including l-valine, ceramide, acylcarnitines, tocotrienol, cholesteryl acetate, and biotin. n-3 PUFA modulated some altered metabolites and metabolic pathways. Therefore, GDM caused the long-term effects on offspring's pancreas, whereas n-3 PUFA played a beneficial role.

Abstract
Oxidative stress caused by an imbalance in the formation and removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays an important role in the development of several cardiovascular diseases. ROS originate from various cellular origins; however, the highest amount of ROS is produced by mitochondria. One of the proteins contributing to mitochondrial ROS formation is the adaptor protein p66shc, which upon cellular stresses translocates from the cytosol to the mitochondria. In the present review, we focus on the role of p66shc in longevity, in the development of cardiovascular diseases including diabetes, atherosclerosis and its risk factors, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and the protection from it by ischemic preconditioning. Also, the contribution of p66shc towards cerebral pathologies and the potential of the protein as a therapeutic target for the treatment of the aforementioned diseases are discussed.
