Jian-Pi-Yin decoction attenuates lactose-induced chronic diarrhea in rats by regulating GLP-1 and reducing NHE3 ubiquitination and phosphorylation. Heliyon 2023; 9:e17444. [PMID: 37539150 PMCID: PMC10395042 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e17444] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives Jian-Pi-Yin decoction (JPY), a prescription derived from the traditional Chinese medicine Shen-Ling-Bai-Zhu-San, has shown good clinical efficacy in the treatment of diarrhea caused by lactose intolerance. However, the mechanism of action of JPY in the treatment of diarrhea is not fully understood. Design In this study, a rat diarrhea model was induced by high lactose feeding combined with standing on a small platform to investigate the ameliorating effect of JPY on hyper lactose-induced diarrhea in rats and its possible mechanism. Methods The rat model of hyper lactose diarrhea was given high, medium, and low doses of JPY and the positive control drug Smida by gavage for 1 week. At the same time, NA+-H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3) inhibitor Tenapanor was administered orally for 3 weeks. Body weight, food intake, water intake, grip strength, and severity of diarrhea symptoms were measured in rats throughout the study. The serum, colon, and jejunum tissues of the model and drug-treated rats were collected for histopathological examination and analysis of relevant indicators. Results JPY significantly alleviated the symptoms of fatigue, diet reduction and diarrhea in the model group. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) expression were also down-regulated after JPY treatment. JPY can significantly promote NHE3 in intestinal tissues of rats with diarrhea, and the mechanism is related to the decrease of GLP-1, inhibition of cAMP/PKA pathway activation, an increase of ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) and USP10 expression, and decrease of NHE3 ubiquitination and phosphorylation. Conclusion JPY can reduce the expression of GLP-1, reduce the ubiquitination and phosphorylation of NHE3, regulate the expression of NHE3, at least partly improve ion transport in the intestinal epithelium, and improve the imbalance of electrolyte absorption, thus significantly reducing the diarrhea symptoms of rats with high lactose combined with small platform standing. Innovation In this study, we explored the mechanism of intestinal GLP-1 activation of cAMP/PKA signaling pathway from multiple dimensions, and increased its expression by reducing phosphorylation and ubiquitination of NHE3, thereby treating chronic diarrhea associated with lactose intolerance.

Abstract
Significance: There is still no cure for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD). Current treatments are based on the attempt to reduce dopaminergic neuronal loss, and multidisciplinary approaches have been used to provide only a temporary symptoms' relief. In addition to the difficulties of drugs developed against PD to access the brain, the specificity of those inhibitory compounds could be a concern. This because neurons might degenerate by activating distinct signaling pathways, which are often initiated by the same stimulus. Recent Advances: Apoptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis were shown to significantly contribute to PD progression and, so far, are the main death programs described as capable to alter brain homeostasis. Their activation is characterized by different biochemical and morphological features, some of which might even share the same molecular players. Critical Issues: If there is a pathological need to engage, in PD, multiple death programs, sequentially or simultaneously, is not clear yet. Possibly the activation of apoptosis, necroptosis, and/or ferroptosis correlates to different PD stages and symptom severities. This would imply that the efficacy of therapeutic approaches against neuronal death might depend on the death program they target and the relevance of this death pathway on a specific PD phase. Future Directions: In this review, we describe the molecular mechanisms underlying the activation of apoptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis in PD. Understanding the interrelationship between different death pathways' activation in PD is of utmost importance for the development of therapeutic approaches against disease progression. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 35, 453-473.

Abstract
The low level of transcytosis is a unique feature of cerebrovascular endothelial cells (ECs), ensuring restrictive blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Major facilitator superfamily domain-containing 2a (MFSD2A) is a key regulator of the BBB function by suppressing caveolae-mediated transcytosis. However, the mechanisms regulating MFSD2A at the BBB have been barely explored. Here, we show that cerebrovascular EC-specific deletion of Pten (phosphatase and tensin homolog) results in a dramatic increase in vesicular transcytosis by the reduction of MFSD2A, leading to increased transcellular permeability of the BBB. Mechanistically, AKT signaling inhibits E3 ubiquitin ligase NEDD4-2-mediated MFSD2A degradation. Consistently, cerebrovascular Nedd4-2 overexpression decreases MFSD2A levels, increases transcytosis, and impairs BBB permeability, recapitulating the phenotypes of Pten-deficient mice. Furthermore, Akt deletion decreases phosphorylated NEDD4-2 levels, restores MFSD2A levels, and normalizes BBB permeability in Pten-mutant mice. Altogether, our work reveals the essential physiological function of the PTEN/AKT/NEDD4-2/MFSD2A axis in the regulation of BBB permeability.

Abstract
The Epithelial Na+ Channel, ENaC, comprised of 3 subunits (αβγ, or sometimes δβγENaC), plays a critical role in regulating salt and fluid homeostasis in the body. It regulates fluid reabsorption into the blood stream from the kidney to control blood volume and pressure, fluid absorption in the lung to control alveolar fluid clearance at birth and maintenance of normal airway surface liquid throughout life, and fluid absorption in the distal colon and other epithelial tissues. Moreover, recent studies have also revealed a role for sodium movement via ENaC in nonepithelial cells/tissues, such as endothelial cells in blood vessels and neurons. Over the past 25 years, major advances have been made in our understanding of ENaC structure, function, regulation, and role in human disease. These include the recently solved three-dimensional structure of ENaC, ENaC function in various tissues, and mutations in ENaC that cause a hereditary form of hypertension (Liddle syndrome), salt-wasting hypotension (PHA1), or polymorphism in ENaC that contributes to other diseases (such as cystic fibrosis). Moreover, great strides have been made in deciphering the regulation of ENaC by hormones (e.g., the mineralocorticoid aldosterone, glucocorticoids, vasopressin), ions (e.g., Na+ ), proteins (e.g., the ubiquitin-protein ligase NEDD4-2, the kinases SGK1, AKT, AMPK, WNKs & mTORC2, and proteases), and posttranslational modifications [e.g., (de)ubiquitylation, glycosylation, phosphorylation, acetylation, palmitoylation]. Characterization of ENaC structure, function, regulation, and role in human disease, including using animal models, are described in this article, with a special emphasis on recent advances in the field. © 2021 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Nongenomic glucocorticoid (GC) and serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 (SGK1) signaling regulate ion transport, but CFTR has not been investigated in the intestine. We examined GC, SGK1, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) kinase signaling of CFTR ion transport in native intestine and the role of GCs on mRNA, protein, surface expression, and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-elicited diarrhea. Rats were treated with dexamethasone (DEXA; 2 mg/kg ip) or DMSO for 1, 4, and 24 h. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-activated ion transport was examined in the presence or absence of SGK1 and PI3K inhibitors. Phosphorylation of SGK1, phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1, and Akt kinases was confirmed by immunoblots using phosphor-specific antibodies. Tissue lysates were analyzed by mass spectrometry. CFTR and SGK1 mRNA were measured by quantitative PCR. Changes in total and surface CFTR protein were determined. The role of GC in cGMP-activated CFTR ion transport was examined. GC synergistically increased CFTR ion transport by SGK1 and PI3K signaling and increased CFTR protein without altering SGK1 or CFTR mRNA. GC induced highest levels of CFTR protein at 4 h that were associated with marked increase in surface CFTR, phosphorylation of the ubiquitin ligase neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4-like (Nedd4-2), and 14-3-3ε, supporting their roles in surface retention and stability. Coimmunoprecipitation of CFTR, Nedd4-2, and 14-3-3ε indicated that assembly of this complex is a likely effector of the SGK and Akt pathways. Mass spectrometry identified phosphorylated peptides in relevant proteins. GC-SGK1 potently regulates CFTR in the intestine and is implicated in diarrheal disease.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This is the first study to examine the mechanisms of glucocorticoid, serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1, and nongenomic kinase signaling of CFTR in the native intestine. We identified unique and druggable intestine-specific factors of the pathway that are targets for treating stress-induced diarrhea.

Genome-wide identification and comparison of differentially expressed profiles of miRNAs and lncRNAs with associated ceRNA networks in the gonads of Chinese soft-shelled turtle, Pelodiscus sinensis. BMC Genomics 2020; 21:443. [PMID: 32600250 PMCID: PMC7322844 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-020-06826-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2019] [Accepted: 06/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The gonad is the major factor affecting animal reproduction. The regulatory mechanism of the expression of protein-coding genes involved in reproduction still remains to be elucidated. Increasing evidence has shown that ncRNAs play key regulatory roles in gene expression in many life processes. The roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in reproduction have been investigated in some species. However, the regulatory patterns of miRNA and lncRNA in the sex biased expression of protein coding genes remains to be elucidated. In this study, we performed an integrated analysis of miRNA, messenger RNA (mRNA), and lncRNA expression profiles to explore their regulatory patterns in the female ovary and male testis of Pelodiscus sinensis. Results We identified 10,446 mature miRNAs, 20,414 mRNAs and 28,500 lncRNAs in the ovaries and testes, and 633 miRNAs, 11,319 mRNAs, and 10,495 lncRNAs showed differential expression. A total of 2814 target genes were identified for miRNAs. The predicted target genes of these differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs and lncRNAs included abundant genes related to reproductive regulation. Furthermore, we found that 189 DEmiRNAs and 5408 DElncRNAs showed sex-specific expression. Of these, 3 DEmiRNAs and 917 DElncRNAs were testis-specific, and 186 DEmiRNAs and 4491 DElncRNAs were ovary-specific. We further constructed complete endogenous lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks using bioinformatics, including 103 DEmiRNAs, 636 DEmRNAs, and 1622 DElncRNAs. The target genes for the differentially expressed miRNAs and lncRNAs included abundant genes involved in gonadal development, including Wt1, Creb3l2, Gata4, Wnt2, Nr5a1, Hsd17, Igf2r, H2afz, Lin52, Trim71, Zar1, and Jazf1. Conclusions In animals, miRNA and lncRNA as master regulators regulate reproductive processes by controlling the expression of mRNAs. Considering their importance, the identified miRNAs, lncRNAs, and their targets in P. sinensis might be useful for studying the molecular processes involved in sexual reproduction and genome editing to produce higher quality aquaculture animals. A thorough understanding of ncRNA-based cellular regulatory networks will aid in the improvement of P. sinensis reproductive traits for aquaculture.

Abstract
Purpose The study was aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of lncRNA LINC00346 on cell proliferation and apoptosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods The expression of lncRNA LINC00346 in CRC tissues and cells was detected by qRT-PCR. LINC00346 was overexpressed and silenced in HT29 and LoVo cells by the transfection of pcDNA-LINC00346 and si-LINC00346. The proliferation of CRC cells was detected by CCK-8 and colony-formation assay. The apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry assay. The expression of apoptosis-associated proteins (Caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax) and JAK1/STAT3 signaling-associated proteins (JAK1, STAT3, p-JAK1, p-STAT3) was detected by Western blot. The tumor growth was detected in mice subcutaneous injected with transfected HT29 cells. Results LINC00346 was significantly upregulated in CRC tissues and cells. Overexpression of LINC00346 significantly increased the OD450 values, number of colonies, decreased the apoptosis rate, upregulated Bcl-2, and downregulated Caspase-3 and Bax in HT29 and LoVo cells. Knockdown of LINC00346 exerted opposite results of proliferation and apoptosis on HT29 and LoVo cells. The expression levels of JAK1/JAK1 and p-STAT3/STAT3 were upregulated by LINC00346 overexpression. Tofacitinib (JAK1 inhibitor) reversed the tumor-promoting effect of LINC00346 overexpression on CRC cells. In vivo experiments further validated that LINC00346 overexpression promoted the growth of CRC xenograft tumors. Conclusion LncRNA LINC00346 promoted the proliferation and inhibited the apoptosis of CRC cells through activating JAK1/STAT3 signaling.

Abstract
Neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down-regulated 4, E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (Nedd4-1 and Nedd4-2) is a member of the HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase family. It has been shown to mediate numerous pathophysiological processes, including the regulation of synaptic plasticity and Wnt-associated signaling, via promoting the ubiquitination of its substrates, such as cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-response element binding protein regulated transcription coactivator 3 (CRTC3), alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazo-lepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR), and Dishevelled2 (Dvl2). In the respiratory system, both Nedd4-1 and Nedd4-2 are expressed in epithelial cells and functionally associated with lung cancer development and alveolar fluid regulation. Nedd4-1 mediates lung cancer migration, metastasis, or drug resistance mainly through inducing phosphate and tension homology deleted on chromsome ten (PTEN) degradation or promoting cathepsin B secretion. Unlike Nedd4-1, Nedd4-2 displays more complex effects in lung cancers. On one hand it suppresses lung cancer cell migration and metastasis, and on the other hand it has been shown to promote lung cancer survival via inducing general control nonrepressed 2 (GCN2) degradation. Another important function of Nedd4-2 is to regulate the activity of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), a membrane channel which mediates the clearance of fluid from the alveolar space at birth or during pulmonary edema. Here, we make an outlined review for the expression and function of Nedd4-1 and Nedd4-2 in the respiratory system in hope of getting an in-depth insight into their roles in lung disorders.

Abstract
Salt homeostasis is maintained by tight control of Na+ filtration and reabsorption. In the distal part of the nephron the ubiquitin protein ligase Nedd4-2 regulates membrane abundance and thus activity of the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC), which is rate-limiting for Na+ reabsorption. Nedd4-2 deficiency in mouse results in elevated ENaC and nephropathy, however the contribution of dietary salt to this has not been characterized. In this study we show that high dietary Na+ exacerbated kidney injury in Nedd4-2-deficient mice, significantly perturbing normal postnatal nephrogenesis and resulting in multifocal areas of renal dysplasia, increased markers of kidney injury and a decline in renal function. In control mice, high dietary Na+ resulted in reduced levels of ENaC. However, Nedd4-2-deficient kidneys maintained elevated ENaC even after high dietary Na+, suggesting that the inability to efficiently downregulate ENaC is responsible for the salt-sensitivity of disease. Importantly, low dietary Na+ significantly ameliorated nephropathy in Nedd4-2-deficient mice. Our results demonstrate that due to dysregulation of ENaC, kidney injury in Nedd4-2-deficient mice is sensitive to dietary Na+, which may have implications in the management of disease in patients with kidney disease.

Abstract
Protein modification by ubiquitination plays a key evolutionarily conserved role in regulating membrane proteins. Nedd4-2, a ubiquitin ligase, targets membrane proteins such as ion channels and transporters for ubiquitination. This Nedd4-2-mediated ubiquitination provides a crucial step in controlling the membrane availability of these proteins, thus affecting their signaling and physiological outcomes. In one well-studied example, Nedd4-2 fine-tunes the physiological function of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), thus modulating Na+ reabsorption by epithelia to maintain whole-body Na+ homeostasis. This review summarizes the key signaling pathways regulated by Nedd4-2 and the possible implications of such regulation in various pathologies.
