Li C, Wang Z, Ren M, Ren S, Wu G, Wang L. Synaptic vesicle protein 2A mitigates parthanatos via apoptosis-inducing factor in a rat model of pharmacoresistant epilepsy. CNS Neurosci Ther 2024; 30:e14778. [PMID: 38801174 PMCID: PMC11129553 DOI: 10.1111/cns.14778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS Synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) is a unique therapeutic target for pharmacoresistant epilepsy (PRE). As seizure-induced neuronal programmed death, parthanatos was rarely reported in PRE. Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), which has been implicated in parthanatos, shares a common cytoprotective function with SV2A. We aimed to investigate whether parthanatos participates in PRE and is mitigated by SV2A via AIF. METHODS An intraperitoneal injection of lithium chloride-pilocarpine was used to establish an epileptic rat model, and phenytoin and phenobarbital sodium were utilized to select PRE and pharmacosensitive rats. The expression of SV2A was manipulated via lentivirus delivery into the hippocampus. Video surveillance was used to assess epileptic ethology. Biochemical tests were employed to test hippocampal tissues following a successful SV2A infection. Molecular dynamic calculations were used to simulate the interaction between SV2A and AIF. RESULTS Parthanatos core index, PARP1, PAR, nuclear AIF and MIF, γ-H2AX, and TUNEL staining were all increased in PRE. SV2A is bound to AIF to form a stable complex, successfully inhibiting AIF and MIF nuclear translocation and parthanatos and consequently mitigating spontaneous recurrent seizures in PRE. Moreover, parthanatos deteriorated after the SV2A reduction. SIGNIFICANCE SV2A protected hippocampal neurons and mitigated epileptic seizures by inhibiting parthanatos via binding to AIF in PRE.

Neuroprotective Effects and Therapeutic Potential of Dichloroacetate: Targeting Metabolic Disorders in Nervous System Diseases. Int J Nanomedicine 2023; 18:7559-7581.

Abstract
Dichloroacetate (DCA) is an investigational drug used to treat lactic acidosis and malignant tumours. It works by inhibiting pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase and increasing the rate of glucose oxidation. Some studies have documented the neuroprotective benefits of DCA. By reviewing these studies, this paper shows that DCA has multiple pharmacological activities, including regulating metabolism, ameliorating oxidative stress, attenuating neuroinflammation, inhibiting apoptosis, decreasing autophagy, protecting the blood‒brain barrier, improving the function of endothelial progenitor cells, improving mitochondrial dynamics, and decreasing amyloid β-protein. In addition, DCA inhibits the enzyme that metabolizes it, which leads to peripheral neurotoxicity due to drug accumulation that may be solved by individualized drug delivery and nanovesicle delivery. In summary, in this review, we analyse the mechanisms of neuroprotection by DCA in different diseases and discuss the causes of and solutions to its adverse effects.

Streptococcus suis contributes to inguinal lymph node lesions in piglets after highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1159590.

Abstract
The swine pathogens porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and Streptococcus suis have both been reported to cause damage to the immune organs. Inguinal lymph node (ILN) injury has been reported in PRRSV-infected pigs with secondary S. suis infection, but not much is known about the mechanism. In this study, secondary S. suis infection after highly pathogenic (HP)-PRRSV infection caused more severe clinical symptoms, mortality, and ILN lesions. Histopathological lesions were seen in ILNs with a marked decrease in lymphocyte numbers. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated de-oxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP)-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assays revealed that HP-PRRSV strain HuN4 alone induced ILN apoptosis, but dual-infection with S. suis strain BM0806 induced greater levels of apoptosis. Besides, we found that some HP-PRRSV-infected cells underwent apoptosis. Furthermore, anti-caspase-3 antibody staining confirmed that ILN apoptosis was mainly induced by a caspase-dependent pathway. Pyroptosis was also observed in HP-PRRSV-infected cells, and there was more pyroptosis in piglets infected with HP-PRRSV alone compared with those with secondary S. suis infection, and HP-PRRSV-infected cells underwent pyroptosis. Altogether, this is the first report to identify pyroptosis in ILNs and which signaling pathway is related to ILN apoptosis in single or dual-infected piglets. These results contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms during secondary S. suis infection.

Abstract
Swine enteric coronavirus (SeCoV) causes acute diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, and high mortality in neonatal piglets, causing severe losses worldwide. SeCoV includes the following four members: transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine delta coronavirus (PDCoV), and swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV). Clinically, mixed infections with several SeCoVs, which are more common in global farms, cause widespread infections. It is worth noting that PDCoV has a broader host range, suggesting the risk of PDCoV transmission across species, posing a serious threat to public health and global security. Studies have begun to focus on investigating the interaction between SeCoV and its host. Here, we summarize the effects of viral proteins on apoptosis, autophagy, and innate immunity induced by SeCoV, providing a theoretical basis for an in-depth understanding of the pathogenic mechanism of coronavirus.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a recently-defined tumor suppression mechanism, but the sensitivity of many tumorigenic cells to ferroptosis is limited by their deficient expression of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4). Here, we report the discovery of a photosensitizer, namely TPCI, which can evoke ACSL4-independent ferroptosis of cancer cells in photodynamic therapy. Through co-localization with 12-lipoxygenase (ALOX12) in multiple subcellular organelles, TPCI activates ALOX12 to generate lipid reactive oxygen species in large quantity and trigger cell ferroptosis. Intriguingly, confining TPCI exclusively in lysosomes switches the cell death from ferroptosis to apoptosis. More strikingly, the ferroptosis mediated by TPCI-induced ALOX12 activation does not require the participation of ACSL4. Therefore, our study identifies TPCI as the first ALOX12 activator to induce ferroptosis independent of ACSL4, which renders a viable therapeutic approach on the basis of distinct ferroptosis of cancer cells, regardless their ACSL4 expressions.

Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), a member of Coronaviridae, causes high mortality in newborn piglets, and has caused significant economic losses in the pig industry. PEDV infection can induce apoptosis, both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent, but the details of apoptosis remain clarified. This study investigated the effect of death receptor DR5 on PEDV infection and its relationship with PEDV-induced apoptosis. We found that DR5 knockdown reduced viral mRNA and protein levels of PEDV, and the viral titer decreased from 104.5 TCID50 to 103.4 TCID50 at 12 hpi. Overexpression of DR5 significantly increased the viral titer. Further studies showed that DR5 facilitates viral replication by regulating caspase-8-dependent apoptosis, and the knockdown of DR5 significantly reduced PEDV-induced apoptosis. Interestingly, we detected a biphasic upregulation expression of DR5 in both Vero cells and piglets in response to PEDV infection. We found that DR5 also facilitates viral entry of PEDV, especially, incubation with DR5 antibody can reduce the PEDV binding to Vero cells. Our study improves the understanding of the mechanism by which PEDV induces apoptosis and provides new insights into the biological function of DR5 in PEDV infection.

Oxygen-boosted biomimetic nanoplatform for synergetic phototherapy/ferroptosis activation and reversal of immune-suppressed tumor microenvironment. Biomaterials 2022; 290:121832.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) induces apoptosis of cancer cells by generating cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, the therapeutic effect of which, however, is impeded by intrinsic/inducible apoptosis-resistant mechanisms in cancer cells and hypoxia of tumor microenvironment (TME); also, PDT-induced anti-tumor immunity activation is insufficient. To deal with these obstacles, a novel biomimetic nanoplatform is fabricated for the precise delivery of photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6), hemin and PEP20 (CD47 inhibitory peptide), integrating oxygen-boosted PDT, ferroptosis activation and CD47-SIRPα blockade. Hemin's catalase-mimetic activity alleviates TME hypoxia and enhances PDT. The nanoplatform activates ferroptosis via both classical (down-regulating glutathione peroxidase 4 pathway) and non-classical (inducing Fe2+ overload) modes. Besides the role of hemin in consuming glutathione and up-regulating heme oxygenase-1 expression, interestingly, we observe that Ce6 enhance ferroptosis activation via both classical and non-classical modes. The anti-cancer immunity is reinforced by combining PEP20-mediated CD47-SIRPα blockade and PDT-mediated T cell activation, efficiently suppressing primary tumor growth and metastasis. PEP20 has been revealed for the first time to sensitize ferroptosis by down-regulating system Xc-. This work sheds new light on the mechanisms of PDT-ferroptosis activation interplay and bridges immunotherapy and ferroptosis activation, laying the theoretical foundation for novel combinational modes of cancer treatment.

Abstract
Pig diarrhea is a universal problem in the process of pig breeding, which seriously affects the development of the pig industry. Porcine enteric coronaviruses (PECoVs) are common pathogens causing diarrhea in pigs, currently including transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) and swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV). With the prosperity of world transportation and trade, the spread of viruses is becoming wider and faster, making it even more necessary to prevent PECoVs. In this paper, the host factors required for the efficient replication of these CoVs and the compounds that exhibit inhibitory effects on them were summarized to promote the development of drugs against PECoVs. This study will be also helpful in discovering general host factors that affect the replication of CoVs and provide references for the prevention and treatment of other CoVs.

Abstract
Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), a coronavirus that causes severe diarrhea due to oxidative stress in the piglet intestine, is a major cause of economic loss in the livestock industry. However, limited interventions have been shown to be effective in the treatment of TGEV. Here, we demonstrate the therapeutic activity of eugenol in TGEV-induced intestinal oxidative stress and apoptosis. Our data show that eugenol supplementation protects intestine and IPEC-J2 cells from TGEV-induced damage. Mechanistically, eugenol reduces TGEV-induced oxidative stress in intestinal epithelial cells by reducing reactive oxygen species levels. Interestingly, eugenol also inhibits TGEV-induced intestinal cell apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, our data suggest that eugenol prevents TGEV-induced intestinal oxidative stress by reducing ROS-mediated damage to antioxidant signaling pathways. Therefore, eugenol may be a promising therapeutic strategy for TGEV infection.

Abstract
Swine coronaviruses include the following six members, namely porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine delta coronavirus (PDCoV), swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (PHEV), and porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV). Clinically, PEDV, TGEV, PDCoV, and SADS-CoV cause enteritis, whereas PHEV induces encephalomyelitis, and PRCV causes respiratory disease. Years of studies reveal that swine coronaviruses replicate in the cellular cytoplasm exerting a wide variety of effects on cells. Some of these effects are particularly pertinent to cell pathology, including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, unfolded protein response (UPR), autophagy, and apoptosis. In addition, swine coronaviruses are able to induce cellular changes, such as cytoskeletal rearrangement, alterations of junctional complexes, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), that render enterocytes unable to absorb nutrients normally, resulting in the loss of water, ions, and protein into the intestinal lumen. This review aims to describe the cellular changes in swine coronavirus-infected cells and to aid in understanding the pathogenesis of swine coronavirus infections. This review also explores how the virus exerted subcellular and molecular changes culminating in the clinical and pathological findings observed in the field.

Abstract
Viruses are ubiquitous intracellular genetic parasites that heavily rely on the infected cell to complete their replication life cycle. This dependency on the host machinery forces viruses to modulate a variety of cellular processes including cell survival and cell death. Viruses are known to activate and block almost all types of programmed cell death (PCD) known so far. Modulating PCD in infected hosts has a variety of direct and indirect effects on viral pathogenesis and antiviral immunity. The mechanisms leading to apoptosis following virus infection is widely studied, but several modalities of PCD, including necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and paraptosis, are relatively understudied. In this review, we cover the mechanisms by which viruses activate and inhibit PCDs and suggest perspectives on how these affect viral pathogenesis and immunity.

Abstract
Infertility is a severe medical problem and is considered a serious global public health issue affecting a large proportion of humanity. Oxidative stress is one of the most crucial factors involved in infertility. Recent studies indicate that the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or reactive nitrogen species (RNS) may cause damage to the male and female reproductive systems leading to infertility. Low amounts of ROS and RNS are essential for the normal functioning of the male and female reproductive systems, such as sperm motility, acrosome reaction, interactions with oocytes, ovulation, and the maturation of follicles. Environmental factors such as heavy metals can cause reproductive dysfunction in men and women through the overproduction of ROS and RNS. It is suggested that oxidative stress caused by arsenic is associated with male and female reproductive disorders such as through the alteration in sperm counts and motility, decreased sex hormones, dysfunction of the testis and ovary, as well as damage to the processes of spermatogenesis and oogenesis. This review paper highlights the relationship between arsenic-induced oxidative stress and the prevalence of infertility, with detailed explanations of potential underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Swine enteric coronavirus (SeCoV) causes acute gastroenteritis and high mortality in newborn piglets. Since the last century, porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) have swept farms all over the world and caused substantial economic losses. In recent years, porcine delta coronavirus (PDCoV) and swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) have been emerging SeCoVs. Some of them even spread across species, which made the epidemic situation of SeCoV more complex and changeable. Recent studies have begun to reveal the complex SeCoV–host interaction mechanism in detail. This review summarizes the current advances in autophagy, apoptosis, and innate immunity induced by SeCoV infection. These complex interactions may be directly involved in viral replication or the alteration of some signal pathways.

All-Trans Retinoic Acid Attenuates Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus-Induced Apoptosis in IPEC-J2 Cells via Inhibiting ROS-Mediated P38MAPK Signaling Pathway. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11020345. [PMID: 35204227 PMCID: PMC8868330 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11020345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) can cause diarrhea, dehydration, and high mortality in piglets, which is closely related to intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis caused by TGEV infection. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is the active metabolite of vitamin A, which has antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties. However, it is unknown whether ATRA can attenuate TGEV-induced IPEC-J2 cells apoptosis. Therefore, we investigated the protective effects of ATRA on TGEV-induced apoptosis of IPEC-J2 cells and explored the potential molecular mechanism. Our results indicated that TGEV infection caused IPEC-J2 cells damage and apoptosis. However, ATRA treatment attenuated TGEV-induced IPEC-J2 cells damage by upregulating the mRNA expressions of ZO-1, Occludin, and Mucin-1. ATRA treatment also attenuated TGEV-induced apoptosis in IPEC-J2 cells by downregulating the expression of Caspase-3, which is related to the inhibition of death receptor (Fas and Caspase-8) and mitochondrial (Bax, Bcl-2, and Caspase-9) pathways. Moreover, ATRA treatment prevented TGEV-induced ROS and MDA production and the upregulation of P38MAPK phosphorylation level, which is related to the increase in the activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, and T-AOC) and the mRNA abundance of antioxidant-related genes (GPX1, GPX2, SOD1, CAT, GCLC, and GCLM). In addition, treatment of TGEV-infected IPEC-J2 cells with the ROS inhibitors (NAC) significantly reduced the protein levels of p-P38MAPK, Fas, Bax, and Cleaved-caspase-3 and the percentage of apoptotic cells. Our results indicated that ATRA attenuated TGEV-induced apoptosis in IPEC-J2 cells via improving the antioxidant capacity, thereby inhibiting the cell damage. the mechanism of which is associated with the inhibition of ROS-mediated P38MAPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
HER2-positive breast cancer (HER2-BC) shows the over-expression of tyrosine kinase receptor EphB4 associated with poor disease prognosis. E-cadherin is found as a survival factor in multiple models of breast cancer by suppressing reactive oxygen-mediated apoptosis. This study confirmed that both HER2 and EphB4 are positively correlated with E-cadherin in HER2-BC. Inhibition of HER2 or EphB4 is discovered to induce ROS-dependent apoptosis by decreasing E-cadherin expression in SKBR3 and MDA-MB-453 cells. TAD1822-7 (TAD), a novel biphenyl urea taspine derivative, exhibits good growth inhibition, apoptosis induction and ROS accumulation effects on SKBR3 and MDA-MB-453 cells. Mechanistic investigation revealed that TAD blockades both EphB4 positive signal transduction and activation of HER2 signal transduction, thereby suppressing E-cadherin/TGF-β/p-Smad2/3 signaling axis to elicit ROS-dependent endogenous mitochondrial apoptosis. Together, these findings not only provide a new approach for HER2-BC therapy but also increase our understanding of the regulating effect of E-cadherin by HER2 and EphB4 in ROS-mediated apoptosis.

Abstract
Fluoride is a natural element essential in minute quantities in human's to maintain dental and skeletal health. However, the disease fluorosis manifests itself due to excessive fluoride intake mostly through drinking water and sometimes through food. At the cellular energetics level, fluoride is a known inhibitor of glycolysis. At the tissue level, the effect of fluoride has been more pronounced in the musculoskeletal systems due to its ability to retain fluoride. Fluoride alters dentinogenesis, thereby affecting the tooth enamel formation. In bones, fluoride alters the osteogenesis by replacing calcium, thus resulting in bone deformities. In skeletal muscles, high concentration and long term exposure to fluoride causes loss of muscle proteins leading to atrophy. Although fluorosis is quite a familiar problem, the exact molecular pathway is not yet clear. Extensive research on the effects of fluoride on various organs and its toxicity was reported. Indeed, it is clear that high and chronic exposure to fluoride causes cellular apoptosis. Accordingly, in this review, we have highlighted fluoride-mediated apoptosis via two vital pathways, mitochondrial-mediated and endoplasmic reticulum stress pathways. This review also elaborates on new cellular energetic, apoptotic pathways and therapeutic strategies targeted to treat fluorosis.

Abstract
Coronavirus accessory proteins are a unique set of proteins whose genes are interspersed among or within the genes encoding structural proteins. Different coronavirus genera, or even different species within the same coronavirus genus, encode varying amounts of accessory proteins, leading to genus- or species-specificity. Though accessory proteins are dispensable for the replication of coronavirus in vitro, they play important roles in regulating innate immunity, viral proliferation, and pathogenicity. The function of accessory proteins on virus infection and pathogenesis is an area of particular interest. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on accessory proteins of several representative coronaviruses that infect humans or animals, including the emerging severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), with an emphasis on their roles in interaction between virus and host, mainly involving stress response, innate immunity, autophagy, and apoptosis. The cross-talking among these pathways is also discussed.

Abstract
Porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) is an enteric coronavirus that has caused high morbidity and mortality of piglets worldwide. Previous studies have shown that the TGEV can lead to severe diarrhoea, vomiting and dehydration in 2-week-old piglets and weaned piglets, resulting in a large number of piglet deaths. Antimicrobial peptides have broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and a strong killing effect on bacteria, especially on the drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria, and it has attracted broad concern. However, there are very few reports on the effect of APB-13 (an antimicrobial peptide) on the intestinal microbes of piglets infected with TGEV. In this study, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to compare the microbial phylum and the genus of piglet's enteric microorganism in different experimental groups, and to predict the metabolic function of the microbial flora. At the same time, the apparent digestibility of nutrients, digestive enzyme activity, daily weight gain and survival rate were also measured. TGEV infection could cause the imbalance of intestinal microbes in piglets, and increase of the relative abundance of Proteobacteria, and decrease of the relative abundance of Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteri. With the addition of APB-13, this problem can be alleviated, which can reduce the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and improve the balance of intestinal microorganisms. At the microbial genus level, after adding APB-13, the relative abundance of Catenibacterium, Enterobacter and Streptococcus in the intestinal tract of piglets infected with TGEV showed significant decrease, while the relative abundance of Lactobacillus and Ruminococcus increased. Finally, we found that APB-13 can significantly increase the activity of digestive enzyme in the intestinal tract of piglet, thereby improving the apparent digestibility of nutrients and the growth performance of piglets. This study demonstrates that APB-13 can alleviate the adverse outcomes caused by TGEV infection by correcting the intestinal microbial disorders.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of Goose parvovirus (GPV) infection as well as the possible role of NS1 protein on apoptosis induction in goose embryo fibroblast (GEF) cells were examined. Flow cytometry analysis and TUNEL assays revealed that GPV infection and NS1 transfection induced significant apoptosis in GEF cells compared to what was observed in mock-infected cells. Interestingly, the increase in the rate of apoptosis detected in GPV-infected GEFs was accompanied by an increased viral load in the cells. In addition, the apoptotic pathway was mediated by apoptosis-inducing factors (AIFs) and internal factors that influence the release of AIFs. The results indicated that the mitochondrial membrane potential was decreased, and AIF expression was increased in the nucleus (P < 0.01). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) increased gradually within 48 h (P < 0.001). Cathepsin D activities were also increased (P < 0.05). The results demonstrated that the AIF-mediated pathway is a new mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and that mitochondrial depolarization, ROS content, and cathepsin D activities are the key factors influencing apoptosis in GEF cells.

Abstract
Apoptosis is a form of programmed death that has also been observed in cells infected by several viruses. It is considered one of the most critical innate immune mechanisms that limits pathogen proliferation and propagation before the initiation of the adaptive immune response. Recent studies investigating the cellular responses to SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 infection have revealed that coronaviruses can alter cellular homeostasis and promote cell death, providing evidence that the modulation of apoptotic pathways is important for viral replication and propagation. Despite the genetic diversity among different coronavirus clades and the infection of different cell types and several hosts, research studies in animal coronaviruses indicate that apoptosis in host cells is induced by common molecular mechanisms and apoptotic pathways. We summarize and critically review current knowledge on the molecular aspects of cell-death regulation during animal coronaviruses infection and the viral–host interactions to this process. Future research is expected to lead to a better understanding of the regulation of cell death during coronavirus infection. Moreover, investigating the role of viral proteins in this process will help us to identify novel antiviral targets related to apoptotic signaling pathways.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endothelial dysfunction appears in many smoking-related diseases, it is also an important pathophysiological feature. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are precursors of endothelial cells and have a crucial effect on the repair and maintenance of endothelial integrity. Sca-1 is not only common in bone marrow-derived hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), but it is also expressed in nonhematopoietic organs by tissue-resident stem and progenitor cells. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on the function of bone marrow-derived EPCs and the expression level of Sca-1 in EPCs, and also whether the methylation of Sca-1 is involved in EPC dysfunction. METHODS We measured EPC capacities including adhesion, secretion and proliferation, the concentration of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) in cell culture supernatant, and also Sca-1 expression and promoter methylation in EPCs induced by CSE. Decitabine (Dec) was applied to test whether it could alter the impact caused by CSE. RESULTS The adhesion, proliferation and secretion ability of EPCs can be induced to be decreased by CSE in vitro, accompanied by decreased concentrations of AIF and eNOS in cell culture supernatant and decreased Sca-1 expression in EPCs. In addition, Dec could partly attenuate the impact described above. There were no significant differences in the quantitative analysis of Sca-1 promoter methylation among different groups. CONCLUSIONS The decreased Sca-1 expression was related to EPC dysfunction induced by CSE. EPC dysfunction resulting from CSE may be related to methylation mechanism, but not the methylation of Sca-1 promoter.

Abstract
Apoptosis is a tightly regulated mechanism of cell death that plays important roles in various biological processes including biological evolution, multiple system development, anticancer, and viral infections. Swine enteropathogenic coronaviruses invade and damage villous epithelial cells of the small intestine causing severe diarrhea with high mortality rate in suckling piglets. Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), and Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) are on the top list of commonly-seen swine coronaviruses with a feature of diarrhea, resulting in significant economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. Apoptosis has been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis process of animal virus infectious diseases. Understanding the roles of apoptosis in host responses against swine enteropathogenic coronaviruses infection contribute to disease prevention and control. Here we summarize the recent findings that focus on the apoptosis during swine coronaviruses infection, in particular, TGEV, PEDV, PDCoV, and SADS-CoV.

[PMID: 32901891 PMCID: PMC7550979 DOI: 10.3892/or.2020.7747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2019] [Accepted: 05/06/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
There have been no major breakthroughs in the treatment of small‑cell lung cancer (SCLC) in recent decades. It is thus essential to explore new or adjuvant treatment options for SCLC. Resveratrol (Res) is a natural antioxidant revealed to influence the entire process of cancer development. Accordingly, the present study used the SCLC cell line H446 to explore the antitumor mechanism of Res. Cells were treated with 40 µg/ml Res with or without pretreatment with the antioxidant N‑acetyl‑L‑cysteine (NAC). H446 cell viability and apoptosis were assessed with MTT and flow cytometry, and the expression of cytochrome c and the PI3K/Akt/c‑Myc pathway and the nuclear translocation of apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) were assessed by western blotting. In addition, the changes in ROS content and mitochondrial membrane potential were determined. The results revealed that Res inhibited H446 cell viability and induced apoptosis, increased cytochrome c expression, inhibited the expression of PI3K/Akt/c‑Myc signaling pathway components, and promoted the translocation of AIF from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in H446 cells. However, NAC pretreatment reversed these changes to various extents. The results of the present study indicated that Res may inhibit the viability and promote the apoptosis of human SCLC H446 cells through the PI3K/Akt/c‑Myc pathway and that oxidative stress and mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization may be involved in the aforementioned processes.

[PMID: 30473353 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2018.10.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2018] [Revised: 10/19/2018] [Accepted: 10/25/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
TGEV can induce IFN-β production, which in turn plays a vital role in host antiviral immune responses. Our previous studies showed that TGEV infection activated p53 signaling to induce host cell apoptosis, which might influence virus replication. However, whether there be an interaction between p53 and IFN-β signaling in the process of TGEV infection is unknown. In the present study, we used low dose of TGEV to infect p53 wild-type PK-15 cells (WT PK-15 cells) and p53 deficient cells (p53-/- PK-15 cells), to investigate the modulation of IFN signaling and virus replication by p53. The results showed that the IFN-β expression and production were notably inhibited in p53-/- PK-15 cells compared with that in WT PK-15 cells at early stage of TGEV infection. In addition, TGEV-induced the changes in mRNA levels of TRIF, TRAM, MDA5, RIG-I, IPS-1, IRF9, IRF3, ISG15 and ISG20 were notably hindered in p53-/- PK-15 cells before 36 h post infection (p.i.). Moreover, TGEV genomic RNA and sub genomic mRNA (N gene and ORF7) levels showed significant increase in p53-/- PK-15 cells compared with WT PK-15 cells after TGEV infection. And viral titers were observably enhanced in p53-/- PK-15 cells. Furthermore, exogenous IFN-β and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly (I:C)) treatment markedly inhibited the mRNA levels of TGEV gRNA, N and ORF7 in WT PK-15 cells and p53-/- PK-15 cells compared to control. Taken together, these results demonstrated that p53 may mediate IFN-β signaling to inhibit viral replication early after TGEV infection.
