Liang C, Aisa Z, Sun L, Zhang B. Cardiac ischemic preconditioning promotes cMyBP-C phosphorylation by inhibiting the calpain-mediated proteolysis. Exp Cell Res 2023; 433:113859. [PMID: 38000772 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2023.113859] [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: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been considered as the most important mean to protect against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induced heart injury. It has been reported that cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) phosphorylation plays an essential role in cardiac protection against I/R-induced heart injury. However, it is still obscured whether IPC-mediated cardiac protection is causally related to cMyBP-C phosphorylation and proteolysis and, if so, what the underlying mechanism is. In this study, IPC was found to increase the phosphorylation level of cMyBP-C, companying with the decreased calpain activity in the collected perfusate samples. Mechanistically, we confirmed that IPC promoted cMyBP-C phosphorylation and inhibited calpain-mediated cMyBP-C proteolysis. Moreover, inhibition of calpain activity significantly increased the phosphorylated cMyBP-C level by using calpain inhibitor (MG-101), and subsequently promoted stabilization and secretion of cMyBP-C. Functionally, adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated overexpression of mutated phosphorylation motif site of cMyBP-C exhibited impaired IPC-mediated cardiac protection via proteolysis of the full-length cMyBP-C protein. We concluded that IPC promoted cMyBP-C phosphorylation via inhibition of calpain-mediated proteolysis and participated in IPC-mediated protection against I/R induced heart injury.

Abstract
With an increasing worldwide prevalence, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignant tumor of the liver in the world. It is also the primary reason for cancer-related death in the world. The pathogenesis of HCC is complex, such as DNA methylation changes, immune regulatory disorders, cell cycle disorders, chromosomal instability, and so on. Although many studies have been conducted on HCC, the molecular mechanisms of HCC are not completely understood. At present, there is no effective treatment for HCC. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has long been regarded as a toxic gas with the smell of rotten eggs, but recent studies have shown that it is an important gasotransmitter along with carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO). Increasing evidence indicates that H2S has multiple biological functions, such as anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, anti-oxidative stress, and so on. Recently, a lot of evidence has shown that H2S has a "double-edged sword" effect in HCC, but the mechanism is not fully understood. Here, we reviewed the progress on the role and mechanism of H2S in HCC in recent years, hoping to provide a theoretical reference for future related research.

Abstract
In mammalian systems, hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-one of the three known gaseous signaling molecules in mammals-has been found to have a variety of physiological functions. Existing studies have demonstrated that endogenous H2S is produced through enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways. The liver is the body's largest solid organ and is essential for H2S synthesis and elimination. Mounting evidence suggests H2S has essential roles in various aspects of liver physiological processes and pathological conditions, such as hepatic lipid metabolism, liver fibrosis, liver ischemia‒reperfusion injury, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatotoxicity, and acute liver failure. In this review, we discuss the functions and underlying molecular mechanisms of H2S in multiple liver pathophysiological conditions.

The Role of Hydrogen Sulfide Targeting Autophagy in the Pathological Processes of the Nervous System. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12090879.

Abstract
Autophagy is an important cellular process, involving the transportation of cytoplasmic contents in the double membrane vesicles to lysosomes for degradation. Autophagy disorder contributes to many diseases, such as immune dysfunction, cancers and nervous system diseases. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a volatile and toxic gas with a rotten egg odor. For a long time, it was considered as an environmental pollution gas. In recent years, H2S is regarded as the third most important gas signal molecule after NO and CO. H2S has a variety of biological functions and can play an important role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Increasingly more evidences show that H2S can regulate autophagy to play a protective role in the nervous system, but the mechanism is not fully understood. In this review, we summarize the recent literatures on the role of H2S in the pathological process of the nervous system by regulating autophagy, and analyze the mechanism in detail, hoping to provide the reference for future related research.

Abstract
Oxygen (O2) and other dissolved gases such as the gasotransmitters H2S, CO, and NO affect cell metabolism and function. To evaluate effects of dissolved gases on processes in tissue, we developed a fluidics system that controls dissolved gases while simultaneously measuring parameters of electron transport, metabolism, and secretory function. We use pancreatic islets, retina, and liver from rodents to highlight its ability to assess effects of O2 and H2S. Protocols aimed at emulating hypoxia-reperfusion conditions resolved a previously unrecognized transient spike in O2 consumption rate (OCR) following replenishment of O2, and tissue-specific recovery of OCR following hypoxia. The system revealed both inhibitory and stimulatory effects of H2S on insulin secretion rate from isolated islets. The unique ability of this new system to quantify metabolic state and cell function in response to precise changes in dissolved gases provides a powerful platform for cell physiologists to study a wide range of disease states.
