Abstract
Heart failure is associated with histone deacetylase (HDAC) regulation of gene expression, the inhibition of which is thought to be beneficial for heart failure therapy. Here, we explored the cardioprotective effects and underlying mechanism of a novel selenium-containing HDAC inhibitor, Se-SAHA, on isoproterenol (ISO)-induced heart failure. We found that pretreatment with Se-SAHA attenuated ISO-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs). Se-SAHA significantly attenuated the generation of ISO-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and restored the expression levels of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in vitro. Furthermore, Se-SAHA pretreatment prevented the accumulation of autophagosomes. Se-SAHA reversed the high expression of HDAC1 and HDAC6 induced by ISO incubation. However, after the addition of the HDAC agonist, the effect of Se-SAHA on blocking autophagy was inhibited. Using ISO-induced mouse models, cardiac ventricular contractile dysfunction, hypertrophy, and fibrosis was reduced treated by Se-SAHA. In addition, Se-SAHA inhibited HDAC1 and HDAC6 overexpression in ISO-treated mice. Se-SAHA treatment significantly increased the activity of SOD2 and improved the ability to eliminate free radicals. Se-SAHA hindered the excessive levels of the microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)-II and Beclin-1 in heart failure mice. Collectively, our results indicate that Se-SAHA exerts cardio-protection against ISO-induced heart failure via antioxidative stress and autophagy inhibition.

Abstract
Lysine deacetylase inhibitors (KDACis) are approved drugs for cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL), and multiple myeloma, but many aspects of their cellular mechanism of action (MoA) and substantial toxicity are not well understood. To shed more light on how KDACis elicit cellular responses, we systematically measured dose-dependent changes in acetylation, phosphorylation, and protein expression in response to 21 clinical and pre-clinical KDACis. The resulting 862,000 dose-response curves revealed, for instance, limited cellular specificity of histone deacetylase (HDAC) 1, 2, 3, and 6 inhibitors; strong cross-talk between acetylation and phosphorylation pathways; localization of most drug-responsive acetylation sites to intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs); an underappreciated role of acetylation in protein structure; and a shift in EP300 protein abundance between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. This comprehensive dataset serves as a resource for the investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying KDACi action in cells and can be interactively explored online in ProteomicsDB.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 349:123938.

Abstract
With the increasing use of triazole fungicides in agriculture, triazole pesticides have aroused great concern about their toxicity and ecological risk. The current study investigated the impairments of embryonic exposure to fenbuconazole (FBZ) on cardiac transgenerational toxicity and related mechanisms. The fertilized eggs were exposed to 5, 50 and 500 ng/L FBZ for 72 h, and the larvae were then raised to adulthood in clean water. The adult fish were mated with unexposed fish to produce maternal and paternal F1 and F2 embryos, respectively. The results showed that increased arrhythmia were observed in F0, F1 and F2 larvae. Transcriptome sequencing indicated that the pathway of adrenergic signaling in cardiomyocytes was enriched in F0 and F2 larvae. In both F0 and F1 adult zebrafish hearts, ADRB2 protein expression decreased, and transcription of genes related to cardiac development and Ca2+ homeostasis was downregulated. These alterations might cause cardiac developmental defects. Significantly decreased protein levels of H3K9Ac and H3K14Ac might be linked with the downregulation in transcription of cardiac development genes. Protein‒protein interaction analysis exhibited that the pathway affecting the heart was well inherited in the paternal line. These results provide new ideas for the analysis and prevention of congenital heart disease.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are crucial in gene transcription, removing acetyl groups from histones. They also influence the deacetylation of non-histone proteins, contributing to the regulation of various biological processes. Thus, HDACs play pivotal roles in various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and inflammatory conditions, highlighting their potential as therapeutic targets. This paper reviews the structure and function of the four classes of human HDACs. While four HDAC inhibitors are currently available for treating hematological malignancies, numerous others are undergoing clinical trials. However, their non-selective toxicity necessitates ongoing research into safer and more efficient class-selective or isoform-selective inhibitors. Computational methods have aided the discovery of HDAC inhibitors with the desired potency and/or selectivity. These methods include ligand-based approaches, such as scaffold hopping, pharmacophore modeling, three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships, and structure-based virtual screening (molecular docking). Moreover, recent developments in the field of molecular dynamics simulations, combined with Poisson-Boltzmann/molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area techniques, have improved the prediction of ligand binding affinity. In this review, we delve into the ways in which these methods have contributed to designing and identifying HDAC inhibitors.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the main factor contributing to the global burden of diseases, and the cardiotoxicity caused by anticancer drugs is an essential component that cannot be ignored. With the development of anticancer drugs, the survival period of cancer patients is prolonged; however, the cardiotoxicity caused by anticancer drugs is becoming increasingly prominent. Currently, cardiovascular disease has emerged as the second leading cause of mortality among long-term cancer survivors. Anticancer drug-induced cardiotoxicity has become a frontier and hot topic. The discovery of epigenetics has given the possibility of environmental changes in gene expression, protein synthesis, and traits. It has been found that epigenetics plays a pivotal role in promoting cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure, coronary heart disease, and hypertension. In recent years, increasing studies have underscored the crucial roles played by epigenetics in anticancer drug-induced cardiotoxicity. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the role and mechanisms of epigenetics in anticancer drug-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuropathic pain remains a formidable challenge for modern medicine. The first-line pharmacological therapies exhibit limited efficacy and unfavorable side effect profiles, highlighting an unmet need for effective therapeutic medications. The past decades have witnessed an explosion in efforts to translate epigenetic concepts into pain therapy and shed light on epigenetics as a promising avenue for pain research. Recently, the aberrant activity of histone deacetylase (HDAC) has emerged as a key mechanism contributing to the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. AIMS In this review, we highlight the distinctive role of specific HDAC subtypes in a cell-specific manner in pain nociception, and outline the recent experimental evidence supporting the therapeutic potential of HDACi in neuropathic pain. METHODS We have summarized studies of HDAC in neuropathic pain in Pubmed. RESULTS HDACs, widely distributed in the neuronal and non-neuronal cells of the dorsal root ganglion and spinal cord, regulate gene expression by deacetylation of histone or non-histone proteins and involving in increased neuronal excitability and neuroinflammation, thus promoting peripheral and central sensitization. Importantly, pharmacological manipulation of aberrant acetylation using HDAC-targeted inhibitors (HDACi) has shown promising pain-relieving properties in various preclinical models of neuropathic pain. Yet, many of which exhibit low-specificity that may induce off-target toxicities, underscoring the necessity for the development of isoform-selective HDACi in pain management. CONCLUSIONS Abnormally elevated HDACs promote neuronal excitability and neuroinflammation by epigenetically modulating pivotal gene expression in neuronal and immune cells, contributing to peripheral and central sensitization in the progression of neuropathic pain, and HDACi showed significant efficacy and great potential for alleviating neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Recent human and animal studies have delineated hypertension can develop in the earliest stage of life. A lack or excess of particular nutrients in the maternal diet may impact the expression of genes associated with BP, leading to an increased risk of hypertension in adulthood. Modulations in gene expression could be caused by epigenetic mechanisms through aberrant DNA methylation, histone modification, and microRNAs (miRNAs). Several molecular mechanisms for the developmental programming of hypertension, including oxidative stress, dysregulated nutrient-sensing signal, aberrant renin-angiotensin system, and dysbiotic gut microbiota have been associated with epigenetic programming. Conversely, maternal nutritional interventions such as amino acids, melatonin, polyphenols, resveratrol or short chain fatty acids may work as epigenetic modifiers to trigger protective epigenetic modifications and prevent offspring hypertension. We present a current perspective of maternal malnutrition that can cause fetal programming and the potential of epigenetic mechanisms lead to offspring hypertension. We also discuss the opportunities of dietary nutrients or nutraceuticals as epigenetic modifiers to counteract those adverse programming actions for hypertension prevention. The extent to which aberrant epigenetic changes can be reprogrammed or reversed by maternal dietary interventions in order to prevent human hypertension remains to be established. Continued research is necessary to evaluate the interaction between maternal malnutrition and epigenetic programming, as well as a greater focus on nutritional interventions for hypertension prevention towards their use in clinical translation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly malignant cancer of the biliary tract with poor prognosis. Further mechanistic insights into the molecular mechanisms of CCA are needed to develop more effective target therapy. METHODS The expression of the histone lysine acetyltransferase KAT2B in human CCA was analyzed in human CCA tissues. CCA xenograft was developed by inoculation of human CCA cells with or without KAT2B overexpression into SCID mice. Western blotting, ChIP-qPCR, qRT-PCR, protein immunoprecipitation, GST pull-down and RNA-seq were performed to delineate KAT2B mechanisms of action in CCA. RESULTS We identified KAT2B as a frequently downregulated histone acetyltransferase in human CCA. Downregulation of KAT2B was significantly associated with CCA disease progression and poor prognosis of CCA patients. The reduction of KAT2B expression in human CCA was attributed to gene copy number loss. In experimental systems, we demonstrated that overexpression of KAT2B suppressed CCA cell proliferation and colony formation in vitro and inhibits CCA growth in mice. Mechanistically, forced overexpression of KAT2B enhanced the expression of the tumor suppressor gene NF2, which is independent of its histone acetyltransferase activity. We showed that KAT2B was recruited to the promoter region of the NF2 gene via interaction with the transcription factor SP1, which led to enhanced transcription of the NF2 gene. KAT2B-induced NF2 resulted in subsequent inhibition of YAP activity, as reflected by reduced nuclear accumulation of oncogenic YAP and inhibition of YAP downstream genes. Depletion of NF2 was able to reverse KAT2B-induced reduction of nuclear YAP and subvert KAT2B-induced inhibition of CCA cell growth. CONCLUSIONS This study provides the first evidence for an important tumor inhibitory effect of KAT2B in CCA through regulation of NF2-YAP signaling and suggests that this signaling cascade may be therapeutically targeted for CCA treatment.

Abstract
The detection of lysine acetyltransferases is crucial for diagnosing and treating lung cancer, highlighting the necessity for highly efficient detection methods. We developed a portable, highly accurate, and sensitive technique using fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) to determine the activity of the lysine acetyltransferase TIP60, employing a novel miniature electrochemical sensor. This approach involves a compact electrochemical cell, merely 3 mm in diameter, that holds solutions up to 50 μL, equipped with a conductive indium tin oxide working electrode. Uniquely, this system operates on a two-electrode model compatible with the FSCV, obviating the traditional requirement for a reference electrode. The system detects TIP60 activity through the continuous generation of CoA molecules that engage in reactions with Cu(II), thereby significantly improving the accuracy of the acetylation analysis. Remarkably, the detection limit achieved for TIP60 is notably low at 3.3 pg/mL (S/N = 3). The results show that the reversible dynamic acetylation can be effectively regulated by inhibitor incubation and glucose stimulation. This cutting-edge strategy enhances the analysis of a broad spectrum of biomarkers by modifying the responsive unit, and its miniaturization and portability significantly amplify its applicability in biomedical research, promising it to be a versatile tool for early diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in lung cancer.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a critical complication that poses a significant threat to the health of patients with diabetes. The intricate pathological mechanisms of DCM cause diastolic dysfunction, followed by impaired systolic function in the late stages. Accumulating researches have revealed the association between DCM and various epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, non-coding RNAs, and other epigenetic molecules. Recently, a profound understanding of epigenetics in the pathophysiology of DCM has been broadened owing to advanced high-throughput technologies, which assist in developing potential therapeutic strategies. In this review, we briefly introduce the epigenetics regulation and update the relevant progress in DCM. We propose the role of epigenetic factors and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) as potential biomarkers and drugs in DCM diagnosis and treatment, providing a new perspective and understanding of epigenomics in DCM.

Li W, Fu Y, Wang W. A real-world pharmacovigilance study investigating the toxicities of histone deacetylase inhibitors. Ann Hematol 2024:10.1007/s00277-024-05691-2. [PMID: 38453702 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-024-05691-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are emerging as promising treatments for hematological malignancies, with potential applications extending to solid tumors in the future. Given their wide-ranging biological effects, there is a pressing need for a thorough understanding of the toxicities linked to HDAC inhibition. In this study, a pharmacovigilance analysis was conducted using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database. Suspected adverse events linked to HDAC inhibitors were detected through various statistical methodologies, including reporting odds ratio, proportional reporting ratio, information component, and Empirical Bayes Geometric Mean. Our study findings have illuminated that, among the total reported cases examined, gastrointestinal disorders accounted for 13% patients of the cohort, while lymphatic system disorders comprised 8% cases of the cohort, all of which manifested as adverse events induced by HDAC inhibitors. Importantly, the usage of HDAC inhibitors was found to be associated with incidents of atrial fibrillation, heart failure, respiratory failure, hepatic dysfunction, and acute kidney injury. Romidepsin and belinostat demonstrated more pronounced signals of adverse events compared to panobinostat and vorinostat, emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring of adverse events in this particular population. Furthermore, atrial fibrillation (clinical priority score of 7 points) emerged as the paramount medical event warranting utmost clinical attention. Eventually, multiple adverse events were observe to emerge within the initial and second months following the initiation of treatment. Vigilant monitoring and supportive care strategies are critical in addressing the toxicities associated with HDAC inhibitors, particularly those concerning cardiotoxicity, respiratory toxicity, renal toxicity, and hepatotoxicity.

Lysine acetyltransferase 6A maintains CD4 + T cell response via epigenetic reprogramming of glucose metabolism in autoimmunity. Cell Metab 2024; 36:557-574.e10.

Abstract
Augmented CD4+ T cell response in autoimmunity is characterized by extensive metabolic reprogramming. However, the epigenetic molecule that drives the metabolic adaptation of CD4+ T cells remains largely unknown. Here, we show that lysine acetyltransferase 6A (KAT6A), an epigenetic modulator that is clinically associated with autoimmunity, orchestrates the metabolic reprogramming of glucose in CD4+ T cells. KAT6A is required for the proliferation and differentiation of proinflammatory CD4+ T cell subsets in vitro, and mice with KAT6A-deficient CD4+ T cells are less susceptible to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and colitis. Mechanistically, KAT6A orchestrates the abundance of histone acetylation at the chromatin where several glycolytic genes are located, thus affecting glucose metabolic reprogramming and subsequent CD4+ T cell responses. Treatment with KAT6A small-molecule inhibitors in mouse models shows high therapeutic value for targeting KAT6A in autoimmunity. Our study provides novel insights into the epigenetic programming of immunometabolism and suggests potential therapeutic targets for patients with autoimmunity.

[PMID: 38398612 PMCID: PMC10892765 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29040860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Bistorta vivipara is a medicinal plant with a long history, but there are few studies on the effects of its medicinal components and endophytic bacteria on the accumulation of secondary metabolites. Therefore, in this study, non-targeted metabolomics techniques and 16s rDNA techniques were used to study B. vivipara from different regions. A total of 1290 metabolites and 437 differential metabolites were identified from all samples. Among them, flavonoids, isoflavonoids, and benzopyrans are the main medicinal components of B. vivipara; these have potential anticancer, antiviral, and antioxidant properties, as well as potential applications for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. In addition, irigenin, an important medicinal component, was identified for the first time. The endophytic bacterial communities in the root tissues of B. vivipara from different regions were also different in composition and richness. Hierarchical clustering heat map analysis showed that Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota bacteria significantly affected the accumulation of many medicinal components in the roots of B. vivipara.

Abstract
The spleen is an important mediator of both adaptive and innate immunity. As such, attempts to modulate the immune response provided by the spleen may be conducive to improved outcomes for numerous diseases throughout the body. Here, biomimicry is used to rationally design nanomaterials capable of splenic retention and immunomodulation for the treatment of disease in a distant organ, the postinfarct heart. Engineered senescent erythrocyte-derived nanotheranostic (eSENTs) are generated, demonstrating significant uptake by the immune cells of the spleen including T and B cells, as well as monocytes and macrophages. When loaded with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), the nanoagents exhibit a potent therapeutic effect, reducing infarct size by 14% at 72 h postmyocardial infarction when given as a single intravenous dose 2 h after injury. These results are supportive of the hypothesis that RBC-derived biomimicry may provide new approaches for the targeted modulation of the pathological processes involved in myocardial infarction, thus further experiments to decisively confirm the mechanisms of action are currently underway. This novel concept may have far-reaching applicability for the treatment of a number of both acute and chronic conditions where the immune responses are either stimulated or suppressed by the splenic (auto)immune milieu.

Abstract
Neural stem cells (NSCs) exhibit self-renewing and multipotential properties. Adult NSCs are located in two neurogenic regions of adult brain: the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) of the lateral ventricle and the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus. Maintenance and differentiation of adult NSCs are regulated by both intrinsic and extrinsic signals that may be integrated through expression of some key factors in the adult NSCs. A number of transcription factors have been shown to play essential roles in transcriptional regulation of NSC cell fate transitions in the adult brain. Epigenetic regulators have also emerged as key players in regulation of NSCs, neural progenitor cells and their differentiated progeny via epigenetic modifications including DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin remodeling and RNA-mediated transcriptional regulation. This minireview is primarily focused on epigenetic regulations of adult NSCs during adult neurogenesis, in conjunction with transcriptional regulation in these processes.

Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge total saponins ameliorate diabetic cardiomyopathy by modifying the PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α pathway to restore glycolytic metabolism. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117250. [PMID: 37832811 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) belongs to the category of "Xiaoke disease" according to the symptoms, and "stasis-heat" is the main pathogenesis of DCM. The Chinese medicine Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge (AAB), as a representative of heat-clearing and engendering fluid, is often used clinically in the treatment of DCM. Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge total saponins (RATS) are the main bioactive components of AAB, the modern pharmacologic effects of RATS are anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, and cardioprotective. However, the potential protective mechanisms of RATS against DCM remain largely undiscovered. AIM OF THE STUDY The primary goal of this study was to explore the effect of RATS on DCM and its mechanism of action. MATERIALS AND METHODS Streptozotocin and a high-fat diet were used to induce DCM in rats. UHPLC/Q-TOF-MS was used to determine the chemical components of RATS. The degenerative alterations and apoptotic cells in the heart were assessed by HE staining and TUNEL. Network pharmacology was used to anticipate the probable targets and important pathways of RATS. The alterations in metabolites and main metabolic pathways in heart tissue were discovered using 1 H-NMR metabolomics. Ultimately, immunohistochemistry was used to find critical pathway protein expression. RESULTS First of all, UHPLC/Q-TOF-MS analysis showed that RATS contained 11 active ingredients. In animal experiments, we found that RATS lowered blood glucose and lipid levels in DCM rats, and alleviated cardiac pathological damage, and decreased cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Furthermore, the study found that RATS effectively reduced inflammatory factor release and the level of oxidative stress. Mechanistically, RATS downregulated the expression levels of PI3K, AKT, HIF-1α, LDHA, and GLUT4 proteins. Additionally, glycolysis was discovered to be a crucial pathway for RATS in the therapy of DCM. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the protective effect of RATS on DCM may be attributed to the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α pathway and the correction of glycolytic metabolism.

Exploration and bioinformatic prediction for profile of mRNA bound to circular RNA BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563 in coronary artery disease. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:71. [PMID: 38267845 PMCID: PMC10809658 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-024-03711-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As a novel circRNA, BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563 has not been fully investigated in coronary artery disease (CAD). Our aim is to reveal the possible functional role and regulatory pathway of BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563 in CAD via exploring genes combined with BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563. METHODS A total of 45 peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples of CAD patients were enrolled. The ChIRP-RNAseq assay was performed to directly explore genes bound to BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were conducted to reveal possible functions of these genes. The interaction network was constructed by the STRING database and the Cytoscape software. The Cytoscape software were used again to identify clusters and hub genes of genes bound to BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563. The target miRNAs of hub genes were predicted via online databases. RESULTS In this study, a total of 221 mRNAs directly bound to BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563 were identified in PBMCs of CAD patients via ChIRP-RNAseq. The functional enrichment analysis revealed that these mRNAs may participate in translation and necroptosis. Moreover, the interaction network showed that there may be a close relationship between these mRNAs. Eight clusters can be further subdivided from the interaction network. RPS3 and RPSA were identified as hub genes and hsa-miR-493-5p was predicted to be the target miRNA of RPS3. CONCLUSIONS BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563 and mRNAs directly bound to it may influence the initiation and progression of CAD, among which RPS3 and RPSA may be hub genes. These findings may provide innovative ideas for further research on CAD.

Abstract
Drug addiction can seriously damage human physical and mental health, while detoxification is a long and difficult process. Although studies have reported changes in the oral microbiome of methamphetamine (METH) users, the role that the microbiome plays in the process of drug addiction is still unknown. This study aims to explore the function of the microbiome based on analysis of the variations in the oral microbiome and metabolome of METH users. We performed the 16S rRNA sequencing analysis based on the oral saliva samples collected from 278 METH users and 105 healthy controls (CTL). In addition, the untargeted metabolomic profiling was conducted based on 220 samples. Compared to the CTL group, alpha diversity was reduced in the group of METH users and the relative abundances of Peptostreptococcus and Gemella were significantly increased, while the relative abundances of Campylobacter and Aggregatibacter were significantly decreased. Variations were also detected in oral metabolic pathways, including enhanced tryptophan metabolism, lysine biosynthesis, purine metabolism, and steroid biosynthesis. Conversely, the metabolic pathways of porphyrin metabolism, glutathione metabolism, and pentose phosphate were significantly reduced. It was speculated that four key microbial taxa, i.e., Peptostreptococcus, Gemella, Campylobacter, and Aggregatibacter, could be involved in the toxicity and addiction mechanisms of METH by affecting the above metabolic pathways. It was found that with the increase of drug use years, the content of tryptamine associated with neuropsychiatric disorders was gradually increased. Our study provides novel insights into exploring the toxic damage and addiction mechanisms underlying the METH addiction.IMPORTANCEIt was found that with the increase of drug use years, the content of tryptamine associated with neuropsychiatric disorders gradually increased. The prediction models based on oral microbiome and metabolome could effectively predict the methamphetamine (METH) smoking. Our study provides novel insights into the exploration of the molecular mechanisms regulating the toxic damage and addiction of METH as well as new ideas for early prevention and treatment strategies of METH addiction.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry offers new insights in bioimaging, but specific tracking of enzyme in living cells via supramolecular host-guest reporter pair remains challenging, largely due to the interference caused by the complex cellular environment on the binding between analytes and hosts. Here, by exploiting the principle of supramolecular tandem assay (STA) and the classic host-guest reporter pair (p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SC4A) and lucigenin (LCG)) and rationally designing artificial peptide library to screen sequence with high affinity of the target enzyme, we developed a "turn-on" fluorescent sensing system for intracellular imaging of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), which is a potential therapeutic target for various diseases, including cancer, neurological, and cardiovascular diseases. Based on computational simulations and experimental validations, we verified that the deacetylated peptide by HDAC1 competed LCG, freeing it from the SC4A causing fluorescence increase. Enzyme kinetics experiments were further conducted to prove that this assay could detect HDAC1 specifically with high sensitivity (the LOD value is 0.015 μg/mL, ten times lower than the published method). This system was further applied for high-throughput screening of HDAC1 inhibitors over a natural compound library containing 147 compounds, resulting in the identification of a novel HDAC1 down-regulator (Ginsenoside RK3). Our results demonstrated the sensitivity and robustness of the assay system towards HDAC1. It should serve as a valuable tool for biochemical studies and drug screening.

Ginsenoside Rb2 inhibits p300-mediated SF3A2 acetylation at lysine 10 to promote Fscn1 alternative splicing against myocardial ischemic/reperfusion injury. J Adv Res 2023:S2090-1232(23)00399-5.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ginsenosides (GS) derived from Panax ginseng can regulate protein acetylation to promote mitochondrial function for protecting cardiomyocytes. However, the potential mechanisms of GS for regulating acetylation modification are not yet clear. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore the potential mechanisms of GS in regulating protein acetylation and identify ginsenoside monomer for fighting myocardial ischemia-related diseases. METHODS The 4D-lable free acetylomic analysis was employed to gain the acetylated proteins regulated by GS pretreatment. The co-immunoprecipitation assay, immunofluorescent staining, and mitochondrial respiration measurement were performed to detect the effect of GS or ginsenoside monomer on acetylated protein level and mitochondrial function. RNA sequencing, site-specific mutation, and shRNA interference were used to explore the downstream targets of acetylation modificationby GS. Cellular thermal shift assay and surface plasmon resonance were used for identifying the binding of ginsenoside with target protein. RESULTS In the cardiomyocytes of normal, oxygen glucose deprivation and/or reperfusion conditions, the acetylomic analysis identified that the acetylated levels of spliceosome proteins were inhibited by GS pretreatment and SF3A2 acetylation at lysine 10 (K10) was significantly decreased as a potential target of GS. Ginsenoside Rb2 was identified as one of the active ginsenoside monomers for reducing the acetylation of SF3A2 (K10), which enhanced mitochondrial respiration against myocardial ischemic injury in in vivo and in vitro experiments. RNA-seq analysis showed that ginsenoside Rb2 promoted alternative splicing of mitochondrial function-related genes and the level of fascin actin-bundling protein 1 (Fscn1) was obviously upregulated, which was dependent on SF3A2 acetylation. Critically, thermodynamic, kinetic and enzymatic experiments demonstrated that ginsenoside Rb2 directly interacted with p300 for inhibiting its activity. CONCLUSION These findings provide a novel mechanism underlying cardiomyocyte protection of ginsenoside Rb2 by inhibiting p300-mediated SF3A2 acteylation for promoting Fscn1 expression, which might be a promising approach for the prevention and treatment of myocardial ischemic diseases.

Abstract
PROTACs represent an emerging field in medicinal chemistry, which has already led to the development of compounds that reached clinical studies. Posttranslational modifications contribute to the complexity of proteomes, with 2846 disease-associated sites. PROTAC field is very advanced in targeting kinases, while its use for enzymes mediating posttranslational modifications of the basic amino acid residues, started to be developed recently. Therefore, we bring together this less popular class of PROTACs, targeting lysine acetyltransferases/deacetylases, lysine and arginine methyltransferases, ADP-ribosyltransferases, E3 ligases, and ubiquitin-specific proteases. We put special emphasis on structural aspects of PROTAC elements to facilitate the lengthy experimental endeavours directed towards developing PROTACs. We will cover the period from the inception of the field, 2017, to April 2023.

Abstract
Epigenetic changes play an important role in the pathophysiology of autoimmune diseases such as allergic asthma, multiple sclerosis, lung diseases, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and COVID-19. There are three main classes of epigenetic alterations: post-translational modifications of histone proteins, control by non-coding RNA and DNA methylation. Since histone modifications can directly affect chromatin structure and accessibility, they can regulate gene expression levels. Abnormal expression and activity of histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been reported in immune mediated diseases. Increased acetylated levels of lysine residues have been suggested to be related to the overexpression of inflammatory genes. This review focuses on the effect of HDAC modifications on histone and non-histone proteins in autoimmune diseases. Furthermore, we discuss the potential therapeutic effect of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) used in these diseases.

Abstract
Obesity-induced insulin resistance is among the key factors in the development of type 2 diabetes, atherogenic dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease. Adipose tissue plays a key role in the regulation of whole-body metabolism and insulin sensitivity. In obesity, adipose tissue becomes inflamed and dysfunctional, exhibiting a modified biochemical signature and adipokine secretion pattern that promotes insulin resistance in peripheral tissues. An important hallmark of dysfunctional obese adipose tissue is impaired NAD+/sirtuin signaling. In this chapter, we summarize the evidence for impairment of the NAD+/sirtuin pathway in obesity, not only in white adipose tissue but also in brown adipose tissue and during the process of beiging, together with correlative evidence from human studies. We also describe the role of PARPs and CD38 as important NAD+ consumers and discuss findings from experimental studies that investigated potential NAD+ boosting strategies and their efficacy in restoring impaired NAD+ metabolism in dysfunctional obese adipose tissue. In sum, these studies suggest a critical role of NAD+ metabolism in adipose biology and provide a basis for the potential development of strategies to restore metabolic health in obesity.

Abstract
Sirtuins belong to the class III histone deacetylases and possess nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase activity. They are involved in the regulation of multiple signaling pathways implicated in cardiovascular diseases. Autophagy is a crucial adaptive cellular response to stress stimuli. Mounting evidence suggests a strong correlation between Sirtuins and autophagy, potentially involving cross-regulation and crosstalk. Sirtuin-mediated autophagy plays a crucial regulatory role in some cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, ischemia/reperfusion injury, hypertension, heart failure, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and drug-induced myocardial damage. In this context, we summarize the research advancements pertaining to various Sirtuins involved in autophagy and the molecular mechanisms regulating autophagy. We also elucidate the biological function of Sirtuins across diverse cardiovascular diseases and further discuss the development of novel drugs that regulate Sirtuin-mediated autophagy.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a serious complication affecting the prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction and can cause cardiac arrest, reperfusion arrhythmias, no-reflow, and irreversible myocardial cell death. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent, peroxide-driven, non-apoptotic form of regulated cell death, plays a vital role in reperfusion injury. Acetylation, an important post-translational modification, participates in many cellular signaling pathways and diseases, and plays a pivotal role in ferroptosis. Elucidating the role of acetylation in ferroptosis may therefore provide new insights for the treatment of MIRI. Here, we summarized the recently discovered knowledge about acetylation and ferroptosis in MIRI. Finally, we focused on the acetylation modification during ferroptosis and its potential relationship with MIRI.

Abstract
Circadian rhythm is a roughly 24-h wake and sleep cycle that almost all of the organisms on the earth follow when they execute their biological functions and physiological activities. The circadian clock is mainly regulated by the transcription-translation feedback loop (TTFL), consisting of the core clock proteins, including BMAL1, CLOCK, PERs, CRYs, and a series of accessory factors. The circadian clock and the downstream gene expression are not only controlled at the transcriptional and translational levels but also precisely regulated at the post-translational modification level. Recently, it has been discovered that CLOCK exhibits lysine acetyltransferase activities and could acetylate protein substrates. Core clock proteins are also acetylated, thereby altering their biological functions in the regulation of the expression of downstream genes. Studies have revealed that many protein acetylation events exhibit oscillation behavior. However, the biological function of acetylation on circadian rhythm has only begun to explore. This review will briefly introduce the acetylation and deacetylation of the core clock proteins and summarize the proteins whose acetylation is regulated by CLOCK and circadian rhythm. Then, we will also discuss the crosstalk between lysine acetylation and the circadian clock or other post-translational modifications. Finally, we will briefly describe the possible future perspectives in the field.

Abstract
Mitochondrial network architecture plays a critical role in cellular physiology. Indeed, alterations in the shape of mitochondria upon exposure to cellular stress can cause the dysfunction of these organelles. In this scenario, mitochondrial dynamics proteins and the phospholipid composition of the mitochondrial membrane are key for fine-tuning the modulation of mitochondrial architecture. In addition, several factors including post-translational modifications such as the phosphorylation, acetylation, SUMOylation, and o-GlcNAcylation of mitochondrial dynamics proteins contribute to shaping the plasticity of this architecture. In this regard, several studies have evidenced that, upon metabolic stress, mitochondrial dynamics proteins are post-translationally modified, leading to the alteration of mitochondrial architecture. Interestingly, several proteins that sustain the mitochondrial lipid composition also modulate mitochondrial morphology and organelle communication. In this context, pharmacological studies have revealed that the modulation of mitochondrial shape and function emerges as a potential therapeutic strategy for metabolic diseases. Here, we review the factors that modulate mitochondrial architecture.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as atherosclerosis, myocardial remodeling, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, heart failure, and oxidative stress are among the greatest threats to human health worldwide. Cardiovascular pathogenesis has been studied for decades, and the influence of epigenetic changes on CVDs has been extensively studied. Post-translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation, glycosylation, methylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, ubiquitin-like and nitrification, play important roles in the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system. Over the past decade, with the application of high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), an increasing number novel acylation modifications have been discovered, including propionylation, crotonylation, butyrylation, succinylation, lactylation, and isonicotinylation. Each change in protein conformation has the potential to alter protein function and lead to CVDs, and this process is usually reversible. This article summarizes the mechanisms underlying several common PTMs involved in the occurrence and development of CVDs.

Abstract
Metastasis is a leading cause of mortality in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Histone deacetylases have emerged as promising targets for anti-tumor drugs, with histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) being an active area of research. However, the precise mechanisms by which HDACi inhibits lung cancer metastasis remain incompletely understood. In this study, we employed a range of techniques, including qPCR, immunoblotting, co-immunoprecipitation, chromatin-immunoprecipitation, and cell migration assays, in conjunction with online database analysis, to investigate the role of HDACi and HDAC2/YY1 in the process of lung adenocarcinoma migration. The present study has demonstrated that both trichostatin A (TSA) and sodium butyrate (NaBu) significantly inhibit the invasion and migration of lung cancer cells via Histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2). Overexpression of HDAC2 promotes lung cancer cell migration, whereas shHDAC2 effectively inhibits it. Further investigation revealed that HDAC2 interacts with YY1 and deacetylates Lysine 27 and Lysine9 of Histone 3, thereby inhibiting Cdh1 transcriptional activity and promoting cell migration. These findings have shed light on a novel functional mechanism of HDAC2/YY1 in lung adenocarcinoma cell migration.

Abstract
Mitochondria are cellular organelles which generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules for the maintenance of cellular energy through the oxidative phosphorylation. They also regulate a variety of cellular processes including apoptosis and metabolism. Of interest, the inner part of mitochondria-the mitochondrial matrix-contains a circular molecule of DNA (mtDNA) characterised by its own transcriptional machinery. As with genomic DNA, mtDNA may also undergo nucleotide mutations that have been shown to be responsible for mitochondrial dysfunction. During physiological aging, the mitochondrial membrane potential declines and associates with enhanced mitophagy to avoid the accumulation of damaged organelles. Moreover, if the dysfunctional mitochondria are not properly cleared, this could lead to cellular dysfunction and subsequent development of several comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases as well as inflammatory disorders and psychiatric diseases. As reported for genomic DNA, mtDNA is also amenable to chemical modifications, namely DNA methylation. Changes in mtDNA methylation have shown to be associated with altered transcriptional programs and mitochondrial dysfunction during aging. In addition, other epigenetic signals have been observed in mitochondria, in particular the interaction between mtDNA methylation and non-coding RNAs. Mitoepigenetic modifications are also involved in the pathogenesis of CVDs where oxygen chain disruption, mitochondrial fission, and ROS formation alter cardiac energy metabolism leading to hypertrophy, hypertension, heart failure and ischemia/reperfusion injury. In the present review, we summarize current evidence on the growing importance of epigenetic changes as modulator of mitochondrial function in aging. A better understanding of the mitochondrial epigenetic landscape may pave the way for personalized therapies to prevent age-related diseases.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are severe diseases posing threat to human health because of their high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The incidence of diabetes mellitus is also increasing rapidly. Various signaling molecules are involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6), which is a class III histone deacetylase, has attracted numerous attentions since its discovery. Sirt6 enjoys a unique structure, important biological functions, and is involved in multiple cellular processes such as stress response, mitochondrial biogenesis, transcription, insulin resistance, inflammatory response, chromatin silencing, and apoptosis. Sirt6 also plays significant roles in regulating several cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, as well as cardiac remodeling, bringing Sirt6 into the focus of clinical interests. In this review, we examine the recent advances in understanding the mechanistic working through which Sirt6 alters the course of lethal cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant diseases in men, and it contributes significantly to the increased mortality rate in men worldwide. This study aimed to review the roles of p300 and TMPRSS2 (transmembrane protease, serine 2) in the AR (androgen receptor) pathway as they are closely related to the development and progression of prostate cancer. This paper represents a library-based study conducted by selecting the most suitable, up-to-date scientific published articles from online journals. We focused on articles that use similar techniques, particularly those that use prostate cancer cell lines and immunohistochemical staining to study the molecular impact of p300 and TMPRSS2 in prostate cancer specimens. The TMPRSS2:ERG fusion is considered relevant to prostate cancer, but its association with the development and progression as well as its clinical significance have not been fully elucidated. On the other hand, high p300 levels in prostate cancer biopsies predict larger tumor volumes, extraprostatic extension of disease, and seminal vesicle involvement at prostatectomy, and may be associated with prostate cancer progression after surgery. The inhibition of p300 has been shown to reduce the proliferation of prostate cancer cells with TMPRSS2:ETS (E26 transformation-specific) fusions, and combining p300 inhibitors with other targeted therapies may increase their efficacy. Overall, the interplay between the p300 and TMPRSS2 pathways is an active area of research.

Abstract
Endocrine resistance is a major challenge for breast cancer therapy. To identify the genes pivotal for endocrine-resistance progression, we screened five datasets and found 7 commonly dysregulated genes in endocrine-resistant breast cancer cells. Here we show that downregulation of serine protease inhibitor clade A member 3 (SERPINA3) which is a direct target gene of estrogen receptor α contributes to aromatase inhibitor resistance. Ankyrin repeat domain containing 11 (ANKRD11) works as a downstream effector of SERPINA3 in mediating endocrine-resistance. It induces aromatase inhibitor insensitivity by interacting with histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) and upregulating its activity. Our study suggests that aromatase inhibitor therapy downregulates SERPINA3 and leads to the ensuing upregulation of ANKRD11, which in turn promotes aromatase inhibitor resistance via binding to and activating HDAC3. HDAC3 inhibition may reverse the aromatase inhibitor resistance in ER-positive breast cancer with decreased SERPINA3 and increased ANKRD11 expression.

Abstract
Age-associated bone diseases such as osteoporosis (OP) are common in the elderly due to skeletal ageing. The process of skeletal ageing can be accelerated by reduced proliferation and osteogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). Senescence of BM-MSCs is a main driver of age-associated bone diseases, and the fate of BM-MSCs is tightly regulated by histone modifications, such as methylation and acetylation. Dysregulation of histone modifications in BM-MSCs may activate the genes related to the pathogenesis of skeletal ageing and age-associated bone diseases. Here we summarize the histone methylation and acetylation marks and their regulatory enzymes that affect BM-MSC self-renewal, differentiation and senescence. This review not only describes the critical roles of histone marks in modulating BM-MSC functions, but also underlines the potential of epigenetic enzymes as targets for treating age-associated bone diseases. In the future, more effective therapeutic approaches based on these epigenetic targets will be developed and will benefit elderly individuals with bone diseases, such as OP.

Abstract
Cardiac fibrosis is a common pathophysiological remodeling process that occurs in a variety of cardiovascular diseases and greatly influences heart structure and function, progressively leading to the development of heart failure. However, to date, few effective therapies for cardiac fibrosis exist. Abnormal proliferation, differentiation, and migration of cardiac fibroblasts are responsible for the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix in the myocardium. Acetylation, a widespread and reversible protein post-translational modification, plays an important role in the development of cardiac fibrosis by adding acetyl groups to lysine residues. Many acetyltransferases and deacetylases regulate the dynamic alterations of acetylation in cardiac fibrosis, regulating a range of pathogenic conditions including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and energy metabolism disturbance. In this review, we demonstrate the critical roles that acetylation modifications caused by different types of pathological injury play in cardiac fibrosis. Furthermore, we propose therapeutic acetylation-targeting strategies for the prevention and treatment of patients with cardiac fibrosis.

Protein posttranslational modifications in health and diseases: Functions, regulatory mechanisms, and therapeutic implications. MedComm (Beijing) 2023; 4:e261. [PMID: 37143582 PMCID: PMC10152985 DOI: 10.1002/mco2.261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) refer to the breaking or generation of covalent bonds on the backbones or amino acid side chains of proteins and expand the diversity of proteins, which provides the basis for the emergence of organismal complexity. To date, more than 650 types of protein modifications, such as the most well-known phosphorylation, ubiquitination, glycosylation, methylation, SUMOylation, short-chain and long-chain acylation modifications, redox modifications, and irreversible modifications, have been described, and the inventory is still increasing. By changing the protein conformation, localization, activity, stability, charges, and interactions with other biomolecules, PTMs ultimately alter the phenotypes and biological processes of cells. The homeostasis of protein modifications is important to human health. Abnormal PTMs may cause changes in protein properties and loss of protein functions, which are closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases. In this review, we systematically introduce the characteristics, regulatory mechanisms, and functions of various PTMs in health and diseases. In addition, the therapeutic prospects in various diseases by targeting PTMs and associated regulatory enzymes are also summarized. This work will deepen the understanding of protein modifications in health and diseases and promote the discovery of diagnostic and prognostic markers and drug targets for diseases.

Abstract
K (lysine) acetyltransferase (KAT) 5, which is a member of the KAT family of enzymes, has been found to act as a regulatory factor in various types of cancer. However, the role of KAT5 in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) and its underlying mechanism is still elusive. The expression levels of KAT5 and kinesin family member 11 (KIF11) in ATC cells were assessed utilizing reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blot analyses. The cell proliferative ability was assessed via Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and using 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine staining. Flow cytometry and western blot analyses were applied for the assessment of cell apoptosis. Cell autophagy was investigated by employing western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining. In addition, the enrichment of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) and RNA polymerase II (RNA pol II) was analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. It was shown that KAT5 expression was markedly increased in ATC cells. KAT5 depletion suppressed the cell proliferative capability but promoted the induction of apoptosis and autophagy. In addition, the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine reversed the effects of KAT5 deficiency on the proliferative and apoptotic activities of 8505C cells. With regard to the mechanism, it was found that KAT5 inhibited the expression of KIF11 by repressing the enrichment of H3K27ac and RNA pol II. Upregulation of KIF11 expression reversed the effects of KAT5 silencing on the proliferative activity, apoptosis and autophagy of 8505C cells. In conclusion, the results indicated that KAT5 induced autophagy and promoted apoptosis of ATC cells by targeting KIF11, which may provide a promising target for the treatment of ATC.

Abstract
Oncologic patients are subjected to four major treatment types: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. All nonsurgical forms of cancer management are known to potentially violate the structural and functional integrity of the cardiovascular system. The prevalence and severity of cardiotoxicity and vascular abnormalities led to the emergence of a clinical subdiscipline, called cardiooncology. This relatively new, but rapidly expanding area of knowledge, primarily focuses on clinical observations linking the adverse effects of cancer therapy with deteriorated quality of life of cancer survivors and their increased morbidity and mortality. Cellular and molecular determinants of these relations are far less understood, mainly because of several unsolved paths and contradicting findings in the literature. In this article, we provide a comprehensive view of the cellular and molecular etiology of cardiooncology. We pay particular attention to various intracellular processes that arise in cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells treated in experimentally-controlled conditions in vitro and in vivo with ionizing radiation and drugs representing diverse modes of anti-cancer activity.

Abstract
Pharmacologic strategies that target factors with both pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative functions in cardiomyocytes (CMs) may be useful for the treatment of ischemic heart disease. One such multifunctional candidate for drug targeting is the acetyltransferase Tip60, which is known to acetylate both histone and non-histone protein targets that have been shown in cancer cells to promote apoptosis and to initiate the DNA damage response, thereby limiting cellular expansion. Using a murine model, we recently published findings demonstrating that CM-specific disruption of the Kat5 gene encoding Tip60 markedly protects against the damaging effects of myocardial infarction (MI). In the experiments described here, in lieu of genetic targeting, we administered TH1834, an experimental drug designed to specifically inhibit the acetyltransferase domain of Tip60. We report that, similar to the effect of disrupting the Kat5 gene, daily systemic administration of TH1834 beginning 3 days after induction of MI and continuing for 2 weeks of a 4-week timeline resulted in improved systolic function, reduced apoptosis and scarring, and increased activation of the CM cell cycle, effects accompanied by reduced expression of genes that promote apoptosis and inhibit the cell cycle and reduced levels of CMs exhibiting phosphorylated Atm. These results support the possibility that drugs that inhibit the acetyltransferase activity of Tip60 may be useful agents for the treatment of ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
Heart diseases are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. The underlying mechanisms and pathological changes associated with cardiac diseases are exceptionally complex. Highly active cardiomyocytes require sufficient energy metabolism to maintain their function. Under physiological conditions, the choice of fuel is a delicate process that depends on the whole body and organs to support the normal function of heart tissues. However, disordered cardiac metabolism has been discovered to play a key role in many forms of heart diseases, including ischemic heart disease, cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, and cardiac injury induced by diabetes or sepsis. Regulation of cardiac metabolism has recently emerged as a novel approach to treat heart diseases. However, little is known about cardiac energy metabolic regulators. Histone deacetylases (HDACs), a class of epigenetic regulatory enzymes, are involved in the pathogenesis of heart diseases, as reported in previous studies. Notably, the effects of HDACs on cardiac energy metabolism are gradually being explored. Our knowledge in this respect would facilitate the development of novel therapeutic strategies for heart diseases. The present review is based on the synthesis of our current knowledge concerning the role of HDAC regulation in cardiac energy metabolism in heart diseases. In addition, the role of HDACs in different models is discussed through the examples of myocardial ischemia, ischemia/reperfusion, cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and diabetes- or sepsis-induced cardiac injury. Finally, we discuss the application of HDAC inhibitors in heart diseases and further prospects, thus providing insights into new treatment possibilities for different heart diseases.

[PMID: 37047616 PMCID: PMC10094812 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24076645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Alpha-synuclein (αS) is a small, presynaptic neuronal protein encoded by the SNCA gene. Point mutations and gene multiplication of SNCA cause rare familial forms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Misfolded αS is cytotoxic and is a component of Lewy bodies, which are a pathological hallmark of PD. Because SNCA multiplication is sufficient to cause full-blown PD, gene dosage likely has a strong impact on pathogenesis. In sporadic PD, increased SNCA expression resulting from a minor genetic background and various environmental factors may contribute to pathogenesis in a complementary manner. With respect to genetic background, several risk loci neighboring the SNCA gene have been identified, and epigenetic alterations, such as CpG methylation and regulatory histone marks, are considered important factors. These alterations synergistically upregulate αS expression and some post-translational modifications of αS facilitate its translocation to the nucleus. Nuclear αS interacts with DNA, histones, and their modifiers to alter epigenetic status; thereby, influencing the stability of neuronal function. Epigenetic changes do not affect the gene itself but can provide an appropriate transcriptional response for neuronal survival through DNA methylation or histone modifications. As a new approach, publicly available RNA sequencing datasets from human midbrain-like organoids may be used to compare transcriptional responses through epigenetic alterations. This informatic approach combined with the vast amount of transcriptomics data will lead to the discovery of novel pathways for the development of disease-modifying therapies for PD.

[PMID: 37023208 PMCID: PMC10112802 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1011324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are essential for host antiviral immune response and viral immune evasion. Among a set of novel acylations, lysine propionylation (Kpr) has been detected in both histone and non-histone proteins. However, whether protein propionylation occurs in any viral proteins and whether such modifications regulate viral immune evasion remain elusive. Here, we show that Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)-encoded viral interferon regulatory factor 1 (vIRF1) can be propionylated in lysine residues, which is required for effective inhibition of IFN-β production and antiviral signaling. Mechanistically, vIRF1 promotes its own propionylation by blocking SIRT6's interaction with ubiquitin-specific peptidase 10 (USP10) leading to its degradation via a ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Furthermore, vIRF1 propionylation is required for its function to block IRF3-CBP/p300 recruitment and repress the STING DNA sensing pathway. A SIRT6-specific activator, UBCS039, rescues propionylated vIRF1-mediated repression of IFN-β signaling. These results reveal a novel mechanism of viral evasion of innate immunity through propionylation of a viral protein. The findings suggest that enzymes involved in viral propionylation could be potential targets for preventing viral infections.

Abstract
The critical role of epigenetic modification of histones in maintaining the normal function of the nervous system has attracted increasing attention. Among these modifications, the level of histone acetylation, modulated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs), is essential in regulating gene expression. In recent years, the research progress on the function of HDACs in retinal development and disease has advanced remarkably, while that regarding HATs remains to be investigated. Here, we overview the roles of HATs and HDACs in regulating the development of diverse retinal cells, including retinal progenitor cells, photoreceptor cells, bipolar cells, ganglion cells, and Müller glial cells. The effects of HATs and HDACs on the progression of various retinal diseases are also discussed with the highlight of the proof-of-concept research regarding the application of available HDAC inhibitors in treating retinal diseases.

Abstract
Heart formation requires transcriptional regulators that underlie congenital anomalies and the fetal gene program activated during heart failure. Attributing the effects of congenital heart disease (CHD) missense variants to disruption of specific protein domains allows for a mechanistic understanding of CHDs and improved diagnostics. A combined chemical and genetic approach was employed to identify novel CHD drivers, consisting of chemical screening during pluripotent stem cell (PSC) differentiation, gene expression analyses of native tissues and primary cell culture models, and the in vitro study of damaging missense variants from CHD patients. An epigenetic inhibitor of the TATA-Box Binding Protein Associated Factor 1 (TAF1) bromodomain was uncovered in an unbiased chemical screen for activators of atrial and ventricular fetal myosins in differentiating PSCs, leading to the development of a high affinity inhibitor (5.1 nM) of the TAF1 bromodomain, a component of the TFIID complex. TAF1 bromodomain inhibitors were tested for their effects on stem cell viability and cardiomyocyte differentiation, implicating a role for TAF1 in cardiogenesis. Damaging TAF1 missense variants from CHD patients were studied by mutational analysis of the TAF1 bromodomain, demonstrating a repressive role of TAF1 that can be abrogated by the introduction of damaging bromodomain variants or chemical TAF1 bromodomain inhibition. These results indicate that targeting the TAF1/TFIID complex with chemical compounds modulates cardiac transcription and identify an epigenetically-driven CHD mechanism due to damaging variants within the TAF1 bromodomain.

Abstract
Heart failure results from various physiological and pathological stimuli that lead to cardiac hypertrophy. This pathological process is common in several cardiovascular diseases and ultimately leads to heart failure. The development of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure involves reprogramming of gene expression, a process that is highly dependent on epigenetic regulation. Histone acetylation is dynamically regulated by cardiac stress. Histone acetyltransferases play an important role in epigenetic remodeling in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. The regulation of histone acetyltransferases serves as a bridge between signal transduction and downstream gene reprogramming. Investigating the changes in histone acetyltransferases and histone modification sites in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure will provide new therapeutic strategies to treat these diseases. This review summarizes the association of histone acetylation sites and histone acetylases with cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, with emphasis on histone acetylation sites.

Abstract
Histone epigenetic modifications are chemical modification changes to histone amino acid residues that modulate gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. As both the phenotypic and causal factors, cardiac metabolism disorder exacerbates mitochondrial ATP generation deficiency, thus promoting pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Moreover, several concomitant metabolic substrates also promote the expression of hypertrophy-responsive genes via regulating histone modifications as substrates or enzyme-modifiers, indicating their dual roles as metabolic and epigenetic regulators. This review focuses on the cardiac acetyl-CoA-dependent histone acetylation, NAD+-dependent SIRT-mediated deacetylation, FAD+-dependent LSD-mediated, and α-KG-dependent JMJD-mediated demethylation after briefly addressing the pathological and physiological cardiac energy metabolism. Besides using an "iceberg model" to explain the dual role of metabolic substrates as both metabolic and epigenetic regulators, we also put forward that the therapeutic supplementation of metabolic substrates is promising to blunt HF via re-establishing histone modifications.

Abstract
Fatty acids (FAs) rapidly and efficiently reduce cardiac glucose uptake in the Randle cycle or glucose-FA cycle. This fine-tuned physiological regulation is critical to allow optimal substrate allocation during fasted and fed states. However, the mechanisms involved in the direct FA-mediated control of glucose transport have not been totally elucidated yet. We previously reported that leucine and ketone bodies, other cardiac substrates, impair glucose uptake by increasing global protein acetylation from acetyl-CoA. As FAs generate acetyl-CoA as well, we postulated that protein acetylation is enhanced by FAs and participates in their inhibitory action on cardiac glucose uptake. Here, we demonstrated that both palmitate and oleate promoted a rapid increase in protein acetylation in primary cultured adult rat cardiomyocytes, which correlated with an inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. This glucose absorption deficit was caused by an impairment in the translocation of vesicles containing the glucose transporter GLUT4 to the plasma membrane, although insulin signaling remained unaffected. Interestingly, pharmacological inhibition of lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) prevented this increase in protein acetylation and glucose uptake inhibition induced by FAs. Similarly, FA-mediated inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake could be prevented by KAT inhibitors in perfused hearts. To summarize, enhanced protein acetylation can be considered as an early event in the FA-induced inhibition of glucose transport in the heart, explaining part of the Randle cycle.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Our results show that cardiac metabolic overload by oleate or palmitate leads to increased protein acetylation inhibiting GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane and glucose uptake. This observation suggests an additional regulation mechanism in the physiological glucose-FA cycle originally discovered by Randle.

Abstract
Histone modifications play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, a genome-wide map of histone modifications and the underlying epigenetic signatures in myocardial I/R injury have not been established. Here, we integrated transcriptome and epigenome of histone modifications to characterize epigenetic signatures after I/R injury. Disease-specific histone mark alterations were mainly found in H3K27me3-, H3K27ac-, and H3K4me1-marked regions 24 and 48 h after I/R. Genes differentially modified by H3K27ac, H3K4me1 and H3K27me3 were involved in immune response, heart conduction or contraction, cytoskeleton, and angiogenesis. H3K27me3 and its methyltransferase polycomb repressor complex 2 (PRC2) were upregulated in myocardial tissues after I/R. Upon selective inhibition of EZH2 (the catalytic core of PRC2), the mice manifest improved cardiac function, enhanced angiogenesis, and reduced fibrosis. Further investigations confirmed that EZH2 inhibition regulated H3K27me3 modification of multiple pro-angiogenic genes and ultimately enhanced angiogenic properties in vivo and in vitro. This study delineates a landscape of histone modifications in myocardial I/R injury, and identifies H3K27me3 as a key epigenetic modifier in I/R process. The inhibition of H3K27me3 and its methyltransferase might be a potential strategy for myocardial I/R injury intervention.

Abstract
The endothelium is one of the largest organ systems in the body, and data continue to emerge regarding the importance of endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction in vascular aging and a range of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Over the last two decades and as a process intimately related to EC dysfunction, an increasing number of studies have also implicated endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) as a potentially disease-causal pathobiologic process that is involved in a multitude of differing CVDs. However, EndMT is also involved in physiologic processes (e.g., cardiac development), and transient EndMT may contribute to vascular regeneration in certain contexts. Given that EndMT involves a major alteration in the EC-specific molecular program, and that it potentially contributes to CVD pathobiology, the clinical translation opportunities are significant, but further molecular and translational research is needed to see these opportunities realized.

Abstract
Impaired calcium uptake resulting from reduced expression and activity of the cardiac sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a) is a hallmark of heart failure (HF). Recently, new mechanisms of SERCA2a regulation, including post-translational modifications (PTMs), have emerged. Our latest analysis of SERCA2a PTMs has identified lysine acetylation as another PTM which might play a significant role in regulating SERCA2a activity. SERCA2a is acetylated, and that acetylation is more prominent in failing human hearts. In this study, we confirmed that p300 interacts with and acetylates SERCA2a in cardiac tissues. Several lysine residues in SERCA2a modulated by p300 were identified using in vitro acetylation assay. Analysis of in vitro acetylated SERCA2a revealed several lysine residues in SERCA2a susceptible to acetylation by p300. Among them, SERCA2a Lys514 (K514) was confirmed to be essential for SERCA2a activity and stability using an acetylated mimicking mutant. Finally, the reintroduction of an acetyl-mimicking mutant of SERCA2a (K514Q) into SERCA2 knockout cardiomyocytes resulted in deteriorated cardiomyocyte function. Taken together, our data demonstrated that p300-mediated acetylation of SERCA2a is a critical PTM that decreases the pump's function and contributes to cardiac impairment in HF. SERCA2a acetylation can be targeted for therapeutic aims for the treatment of HF.
