Abstract

Nicotine is active in highly cisplatin-resistant cancer cells; however, there is little evidence for its resistant activity in lung cancer with cisplatin. Many mechanisms of cisplatin resistance have been proposed. The mechanisms of the nicotine treatment of cisplatin-resistant lung cancer for histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) activity is unknown. Nicotine was used to analyze cisplatin-resistant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cancer cell growth. Western blot was used to analyze cell cycle-related proteins. Cancer cell viability (cell survival) was measured with MTT assay. HDAC1 transfected NSCLC cells were used to analyze the direct binding between cytosol and nucleus distribution. Here, using cell viability and migration methods we firstly found nicotine regulated cisplatin-resistant NSCLC cells growth by targeting HDAC1. Expression of cisplatin was negatively correlated with HDAC1. And HDAC1 inhibitor, VPA, in the NSCLC cancer cells were predicted. Further experiments confirmed that HDAC1 directly targeted E2F and cisplatin. Besides, HDAC1 and cisplatin inhibited NSCLC cell growth and reduced expression of E2F and Cyclin E proteins. The use of nicotine compromised cisplatin-induced E2F suppression and cancer cell growth. NSCLC cancer cells co-transfected with nicotine and HDAC1 had a higher cell cycle proliferation. Taken all together, cisplatin interferes with DNA replication kills the cancer cell fastest proliferation; however, nicotine increased detoxification of cisplatin, inhibition of apoptosis and DNA repair, induced cisplatin resistance.

Trans-branching of polyubiquitin chains orchestrates the DNA replication stress response

Polyubiquitin chain geometry dictates functional consequences of ubiquitylation. Although branched polyubiquitin chains are abundant in cells, little is known about their functions. Here we show that branching on the DNA replication factor PCNA, mediated by the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBE2K and involving lysines 63 and 48 of ubiquitin, orchestrates the sequence of events in response to replication stress. By inducing VCP-dependent extraction of PCNA from chromatin, branching promotes re-priming of stalled forks and necessitates a BRCA1-dependent pathway of daughter-strand gap repair. Our study identifies hyper-accumulation of daughter-strand gaps as the mechanistic basis underlying the toxicity of inhibitors of the PCNA-specific isopeptidase, USP1, in BRCA1-deficient cells. Moreover, an unexpected preference of UBE2K to operate in trans suggests a general timing mechanism to organize hierarchies amongst ubiquitin signals.

Impaired proteostasis is an early feature of the diabetic heart in humans and mice

Diabetes and obesity increase cardiac lipid levels leading to cardiomyopathy and heart failure. We hypothesized that intermittent fasting would reduce cardiac lipid levels. Surprisingly, intermittent fasting increased myocardial triglyceride content, but rescued mortality and attenuated cardiomyopathy in mice overexpressing cardiomyocyte acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (MHC-ACSL1). Lipid overload caused cardiomyocyte accumulation of polyubiquitinated protein aggregates containing desmin, a scaffolding intermediate filament protein, which intermittent fasting prevented. Furthermore, intermittent fasting reversed elevated myocardial C16:0 ceramide content, and knockdown of ceramide synthase CerS5 and CerS6 reduced palmitate-induced protein aggregation, highlighting a role for C16:0 ceramides in this pathology. Conversely, impairing aggrephagy with cardiomyocyte-specific p62 ablation induced heart failure in mice fed a high-fat diet, with paradoxically reduced cardiac lipid content. Crucially, non-failing diabetic human hearts also exhibited protein aggregate pathology. Taken together, these results demonstrate that impaired proteostasis characterizes cardiomyopathy from cardiac lipid overload and identify a promising new therapeutic target for this condition.

Spatial profiling and neurovascular communication in the developing and adolescent cortex following prenatal alcohol exposure

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) constitute a wide range of developmental, cognitive, and behavioral impairments caused by prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). Although neuronal and vascular consequences of PAE have been studied, how alcohol affects the cerebrovasculature within the framework of the neurovascular unit (NVU) across development remains poorly understood. At minimum, the NVU comprises neurons, astrocyte endfeet, and endothelial cells (ECs), which coordinate to maintain brain homeostasis. Here, we used the NanoString Digital Spatial Profiling platform to characterize spatial transcriptomic data from neurons, astrocytes, and ECs from PAE and saccharin (SAC) control cortices at embryonic day 18 (E18) and postnatal day 28 (P28). Differentially expressed genes were then used for Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) to identify altered biological pathways and perform comparison analyses across developmental time points, while CellChat was used to infer cell cell communication networks. We uncovered thousands of differentially expressed genes and numerous altered pathways and biological processes in PAE cortices across development. Both IPA and CellChat analyses implicated dysregulation of vascular and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, cell adhesion, and neuroinflammatory signaling. CellChat further predicted the loss of several key bidirectional relationships and altered ligand-receptor interactions among neurovascular cell types at E18 and P28. Overall, these findings identify PAE associated alterations in neurovascular gene expression and intercellular signaling across development, providing potential mechanisms by which PAE may disrupt neurodevelopment.
