Mitochondrial dysregulation is strongly implicated in Parkinson disease.
Mutations in PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) are associated with familial
parkinsonism and neuropsychiatric disorders. Although overexpressed PINK1 is
neuroprotective, less is known about neuronal responses to loss of PINK1
function. We found that stable knockdown of PINK1 induced mitochondrial
fragmentation and autophagy in SH-SY5Y cells, which was reversed by the
reintroduction of an RNA interference (RNAi)-resistant plasmid for PINK1.
Moreover, stable or transient overexpression of wild-type PINK1 increased
mitochondrial interconnectivity and suppressed toxin-induced
autophagy/mitophagy. Mitochondrial oxidant production played an essential role
in triggering mitochondrial fragmentation and autophagy in PINK1 shRNA lines.
Autophagy/mitophagy served a protective role in limiting cell death, and
overexpressing Parkin further enhanced this protective mitophagic response.
The dominant negative Drp1 mutant inhibited both fission and mitophagy in
PINK1-deficient cells. Interestingly, RNAi knockdown of autophagy proteins
Atg7 and LC3/Atg8 also decreased mitochondrial fragmentation without affecting
oxidative stress, suggesting active involvement of autophagy in morphologic
remodeling of mitochondria for clearance. To summarize, loss of PINK1 function
elicits oxidative stress and mitochondrial turnover coordinated by the
autophagic and fission/fusion machineries. Furthermore, PINK1 and Parkin may
cooperate through different mechanisms to maintain mitochondrial
homeostasis.Parkinson disease is an age-related neurodegenerative disease that affects
∼1% of the population worldwide. The causes of sporadic cases are unknown,
although mitochondrial or oxidative toxins such as
1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium, 6-hydroxydopamine
(6-OHDA),3 and
rotenone reproduce features of the disease in animal and cell culture models
(1). Abnormalities in
mitochondrial respiration and increased oxidative stress are observed in cells
and tissues from parkinsonian patients
(2,
3), which also exhibit
increased mitochondrial autophagy
(4). Furthermore, mutations in
parkinsonian genes affect oxidative stress response pathways and mitochondrial
homeostasis (5). Thus,
disruption of mitochondrial homeostasis represents a major factor implicated
in the pathogenesis of sporadic and inherited parkinsonian disorders (PD).The PARK6 locus involved in autosomal recessive and early-onset PD
encodes for PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1)
(6,
7). PINK1 is a cytosolic and
mitochondrially localized 581-amino acid serine/threonine kinase that
possesses an N-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence
(6,
8). The primary sequence also
includes a putative transmembrane domain important for orientation of the
PINK1 domain (8), a conserved
kinase domain homologous to calcium calmodulin kinases, and a C-terminal
domain that regulates autophosphorylation activity
(9,
10). Overexpression of
wild-type PINK1, but not its PD-associated mutants, protects against several
toxic insults in neuronal cells
(6,
11,
12). Mitochondrial targeting
is necessary for some (13) but
not all of the neuroprotective effects of PINK1
(14), implicating involvement
of cytoplasmic targets that modulate mitochondrial pathobiology
(8). PINK1 catalytic activity
is necessary for its neuroprotective role, because a kinase-deficient K219M
substitution in the ATP binding pocket of PINK1 abrogates its ability to
protect neurons (14). Although
PINK1 mutations do not seem to impair mitochondrial targeting, PD-associated
mutations differentially destabilize the protein, resulting in loss of
neuroprotective activities
(13,
15).Recent studies indicate that PINK1 and Parkin interact genetically
(3,
16-18)
to prevent oxidative stress
(19,
20) and regulate mitochondrial
morphology (21). Primary cells
derived from PINK1 mutant patients exhibit mitochondrial fragmentation with
disorganized cristae, recapitulated by RNA interference studies in HeLa cells
(3).Mitochondria are degraded by macroautophagy, a process involving
sequestration of cytoplasmic cargo into membranous autophagic vacuoles (AVs)
for delivery to lysosomes (22,
23). Interestingly,
mitochondrial fission accompanies autophagic neurodegeneration elicited by the
PD neurotoxin 6-OHDA (24,
25). Moreover, mitochondrial
fragmentation and increased autophagy are observed in neurodegenerative
diseases including Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases
(4,
26-28).
Although inclusion of mitochondria in autophagosomes was once believed to be a
random process, as observed during starvation, studies involving hypoxia,
mitochondrial damage, apoptotic stimuli, or limiting amounts of aerobic
substrates in facultative anaerobes support the concept of selective
mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy)
(29,
30). In particular,
mitochondrially localized kinases may play an important role in models
involving oxidative mitochondrial injury
(25,
31,
32).Autophagy is involved in the clearance of protein aggregates
(33-35)
and normal regulation of axonal-synaptic morphology
(36). Chronic disruption of
lysosomal function results in accumulation of subtly impaired mitochondria
with decreased calcium buffering capacity
(37), implicating an important
role for autophagy in mitochondrial homeostasis
(37,
38). Recently, Parkin, which
complements the effects of PINK1 deficiency on mitochondrial morphology
(3), was found to promote
autophagy of depolarized mitochondria
(39). Conversely, Beclin
1-independent autophagy/mitophagy contributes to cell death elicited by the PD
toxins 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium and 6-OHDA
(25,
28,
31,
32), causing neurite
retraction in cells expressing a PD-linked mutation in leucine-rich repeat
kinase 2 (40). Whereas
properly regulated autophagy plays a homeostatic and neuroprotective role,
excessive or incomplete autophagy creates a condition of “autophagic
stress” that can contribute to neurodegeneration
(28).As mitochondrial fragmentation
(3) and increased mitochondrial
autophagy (4) have been
described in human cells or tissues of PD patients, we investigated whether or
not the engineered loss of PINK1 function could recapitulate these
observations in human neuronal cells (SH-SY5Y). Stable knockdown of endogenous
PINK1 gave rise to mitochondrial fragmentation and increased autophagy and
mitophagy, whereas stable or transient overexpression of PINK1 had the
opposite effect. Autophagy/mitophagy was dependent upon increased
mitochondrial oxidant production and activation of fission. The data indicate
that PINK1 is important for the maintenance of mitochondrial networks,
suggesting that coordinated regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and autophagy
limits cell death associated with loss of PINK1 function. 相似文献

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common and aggressive
human malignancies. Recombinant tumor necrosis factor-related
apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising anti-tumor agent. However,
many HCC cells show resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. In this study, we
showed that bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor, overcame TRAIL resistance in
HCC cells, including Huh-7, Hep3B, and Sk-Hep1. The combination of bortezomib
and TRAIL restored the sensitivity of HCC cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis.
Comparing the molecular change in HCC cells treated with these agents, we
found that down-regulation of phospho-Akt (P-Akt) played a key role in
mediating TRAIL sensitization of bortezomib. The first evidence was that
bortezomib down-regulated P-Akt in a dose- and time-dependent manner in
TRAIL-treated HCC cells. Second, , a PI3K inhibitor, also sensitized
resistant HCC cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Third, knocking down Akt1 by
small interference RNA also enhanced TRAIL-induced apoptosis in Huh-7 cells.
Finally, ectopic expression of mutant Akt (constitutive active) in HCC cells
abolished TRAIL sensitization effect of bortezomib. Moreover, okadaic acid, a
protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) inhibitor, reversed down-regulation of P-Akt in
bortezomib-treated cells, and PP2A knockdown by small interference RNA also
reduced apoptosis induced by the combination of TRAIL and bortezomib,
indicating that PP2A may be important in mediating the effect of bortezomib on
TRAIL sensitization. Together, bortezomib overcame TRAIL resistance at
clinically achievable concentrations in hepatocellular carcinoma cells, and
this effect is mediated at least partly via inhibition of the PI3K/Akt
pathway.Hepatocellular carcinoma
(HCC) LY2940022 is currently
the fifth most common solid tumor worldwide and the fourth leading cause of
cancer-related death. To date, surgery is still the only curative treatment
but is only feasible in a small portion of patients
(1). Drug treatment is the
major therapy for patients with advanced stage disease. Unfortunately, the
response rate to traditional chemotherapy for HCC patients is unsatisfactory
(1). Novel pharmacological
therapy is urgently needed for patients with advanced HCC. In this regard, the
approval of sorafenib might open a new era of molecularly targeted therapy in
the treatment of HCC patients.Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a
type II transmembrane protein and a member of the TNF family, is a promising
anti-tumor agent under clinical investigation
(2). TRAIL functions by
engaging its receptors expressed on the surface of target cells. Five
receptors specific for TRAIL have been identified, including DR4/TRAIL-R1,
DR5/TRAIL-R2, DcR1, DcR2, and osteoprotegerin. Among TRAIL receptors, only DR4
and DR5 contain an effective death domain that is essential to formation of
death-inducing signaling complex (DISC), a critical step for TRAIL-induced
apoptosis. Notably, the trimerization of the death domains recruits an adaptor
molecule, Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD), which subsequently
recruits and activates caspase-8. In type I cells, activation of caspase-8 is
sufficient to activate caspase-3 to induce apoptosis; however, in another type
of cells (type II), the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway is essential for
apoptosis characterized by cleavage of Bid and release of cytochrome
c from mitochondria, which subsequently activates caspase-9 and
caspase-3 (3).Although TRAIL induces apoptosis in malignant cells but sparing normal
cells, some tumor cells are resistant to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Mechanisms
responsible for the resistance include receptors and intracellular resistance.
Although the cell surface expression of DR4 or DR5 is absolutely required for
TRAIL-induced apoptosis, tumor cells expressing these death receptors are not
always sensitive to TRAIL due to intracellular mechanisms. For example, the
cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein (c-FLIP), a homologue to caspase-8 but
without protease activity, has been linked to TRAIL resistance in several
studies (4,
5). In addition, inactivation
of Bax, a proapoptotic Bcl-2 family protein, resulted in resistance to TRAIL
in MMR-deficient tumors (6,
7), and reintroduction of Bax
into Bax-deficient cells restored TRAIL sensitivity
(8), indicating that the Bcl-2
family plays a critical role in intracellular mechanisms for resistance of
TRAIL.Bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor approved clinically for multiple myeloma
and mantle cell lymphoma, has been investigated intensively for many types of
cancer (9). Accumulating
studies indicate that the combination of bortezomib and TRAIL overcomes the
resistance to TRAIL in various types of cancer, including acute myeloid
leukemia (4), lymphoma
(10–13),
prostate
(14–17),
colon (15,
18,
19), bladder
(14,
16), renal cell carcinoma
(20), thyroid
(21), ovary
(22), non-small cell lung
(23,
24), sarcoma
(25), and HCC
(26,
27). Molecular targets
responsible for the sensitizing effect of bortezomib on TRAIL-induced cell
death include DR4 (14,
27), DR5
(14,
20,
22–23,
28), c-FLIP
(4,
11,
21–23,
29), NF-κB
(12,
24,
30), p21
(16,
21,
25), and p27
(25). In addition, Bcl-2
family also plays a role in the combinational effect of bortezomib and TRAIL,
including Bcl-2 (10,
21), Bax
(13,
22), Bak
(27), Bcl-xL
(21), Bik
(18), and Bim
(15).Recently, we have reported that Akt signaling is a major molecular
determinant in bortezomib-induced apoptosis in HCC cells
(31). In this study, we
demonstrated that bortezomib overcame TRAIL resistance in HCC cells through
inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway. 相似文献

The finding that upon neuronal activation glutamate is transported
postsynaptically from synaptic clefts and increased lactate availability for
neurons suggest that brain mitochondria (BM) utilize a mixture of substrates,
namely pyruvate, glutamate, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites. We
studied how glutamate affected oxidative phosphorylation and reactive oxygen
species (ROS) production in rat BM oxidizing pyruvate + malate or succinate.
Simultaneous oxidation of glutamate + pyruvate + malate increased state 3 and
uncoupled respiration by 52 and 71%, respectively. The state 4 ROS generation
increased 100% over BM oxidizing pyruvate + malate and 900% over that of BM
oxidizing glutamate + malate. Up to 70% of ROS generation was associated with
reverse electron transport. These effects of pyruvate + glutamate + malate
were observed only with BM and not with liver or heart mitochondria. The
effects of glutamate + pyruvate on succinate-supported respiration and ROS
generation were not organ-specific and depended only on whether mitochondria
were isolated with or without bovine serum albumin. With the non-bovine serum
albumin brain and heart mitochondria oxidizing succinate, the addition of
pyruvate and glutamate abrogated inhibition of Complex II by oxaloacetate. We
conclude that (i) during neuronal activation, simultaneous oxidation of
glutamate + pyruvate temporarily enhances neuronal mitochondrial ATP
production, and (ii) intrinsic inhibition of Complex II by oxaloacetate is an
inherent mechanism that protects against ROS generation during reverse
electron transport.Recently, it has emerged that mitochondrial dysfunctions play an important
role in the pathogenesis of degenerative diseases of the central nervous
system
(1–3).
The processes underlying neuronal degeneration are complex, and some authors
suggest that several genetic alterations are involved
(4). However, another level of
complexity may be derived from the fact that virtually all cellular activities
depend upon energy metabolism in the cell
(5). Alterations in energy
metabolism processes within cells may also contribute to pathogenic mechanisms
underlying neurodegenerative disease.A large body of evidence suggests that increased oxidative stress is an
important pathogenic mechanism that promotes neurodegeneration
(6). Because neurons have a
long life span, and most neurodegenerative diseases have a clear association
with age (7), it is important
to understand mechanisms underlying reactive oxygen species
(ROS)2 production in
neurons. Recently, Kudin et al.
(8) analyzed the contribution
of mitochondria to the total ROS production in brain tissue. They concluded
that mitochondria are the major source of ROS and that at least 50% of ROS
generated by brain mitochondria was associated with succinate-supported
reverse electron transport (RET). Under conditions of normoxia, about 1% of
the respiratory chain electron flow was redirected to form superoxide
(8).Recently, we suggested that the organization of the respiratory chain
complexes into supercomplexes that occurs in brain mitochondria (BM)
(9) may represent one of the
intrinsic mechanisms to prevent excessive ROS generation
(10). In this paper, we put
forward the hypothesis that inhibition of Complex II by oxaloacetate (OAA)
represents another important intrinsic mechanism to prevent oxidative stress.
We provide evidence that glutamate and pyruvate specifically exert control
over the production of ROS at the level of Complex II. Below we present a
brief account of published theoretical and experimental evidence that underlie
our hypothesis.The neural processing of information is metabolically expensive
(11). More than 80% of energy
is spent postsynaptically to restore the ionic composition of neurons
(11). When neurons are
activated, reuptake of glutamate stimulates aerobic glycolysis in astroglial
cells (12), thereby making
lactate the major substrate for neuronal mitochondria
(4,
13). However, rapid conversion
of lactate to pyruvate in neurons requires activation of the malate-aspartate
shuttle (MAS). The shuttle is the major pathway for cytosolic reducing
equivalents from NADH to enter the mitochondria and be oxidized
(14,
15). The key component of MAS
is the mitochondrial aspartate/glutamate carrier (AGC)
(16), and recent data suggest
that the AGC is expressed mainly in neurons
(14). Absence of the AGC from
astrocytes in the brain implies a compartmentation of intermediary metabolism,
with glycolysis taking place in astrocytes and lactate oxidation in neurons
(13,
14,
17). Active operation of MAS
requires that a certain amount of glutamate must be transported from synaptic
clefts into activated neurons. In isolated BM, it has been shown that besides
pyruvate, glutamate is also a good respiratory substrate
(5,
18). In the presynaptic
elements, the concentration of cytosolic glutamate is ∼10 mm at
all times (19). Yudkoff et
al. (18) have shown that
synaptosomal mitochondria utilize glutamate and pyruvate as mitochondrial
respiratory substrates. Glutamate is also oxidized by the astroglial
mitochondria (13).Until recently, it was generally accepted that most of the glutamate is
rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft by glutamate transporters EAAT1 and
EAAT2 located on presynaptic termini and glial cells
(20–24).
However, recent data show that a significant fraction of glutamate is rapidly
bound and transported by the glutamate transporter isoform, EAAT4, located
juxtasynaptically in the membranes of spines and dendrites
(20,
25–28).
At the climbing fiber to Purkinje cell synapses in the cerebellum, about 17%
(28) or more than 50%
(29) of synaptically released
glutamate may be removed by postsynaptic transporters. Besides the cerebellum,
EAAT4 protein was found to be omnipresent throughout the fore- and midbrain
regions (30). Moreover, it was
shown that although most of the EAAT2 protein is astroglial, around 15% is
distributed in nerve terminals and axons in hippocampal slices and that this
protein may be responsible for more than half of the total uptake of glutamate
from synaptic clefts (24).
These data suggest that postsynaptic transport of glutamate into nerve
terminals where mitochondria are located
(31) may occur in all brain
regions. According to calculations of Brasnjo and Otis
(28), in a single synapse,
EAAT4 (excitatory amino acid transporter 4) binds and transports
postsynaptically about 1.3 ± 0.1 × 106 glutamate
molecules. In the brain, on average, 1 mm3 of tissue contains 1
× 108 synapses
(32,
33). Because of the high
density of synaptic contacts, the neuronal cells may be exposed to mediators
released from hundreds of firing synapses. Thus, in a narrow space of spines
and dendrites, several million glutamate molecules postsynaptically
transported from synaptic boutons may create local cytosolic concentration of
glutamate in the low millimolar range. Consequently, neuronal mitochondria,
particularly those located at the axonal or dendritic synaptic junctions, may,
in addition to metabolizing pyruvate, temporarily metabolize glutamate and
succinate formed during mitochondrial catabolism of γ-aminobutyric acid
in postsynaptic cells
(34).The purpose of this study was to examine how the neuromediator glutamate
affects respiratory activity and ROS generation in nonsynaptic BM when
combined with pyruvate and the tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates
succinate and malate. We show that with pyruvate + glutamate + malate, the
rate of oxidative phosphorylation increased more than 50%, and in resting
mitochondria the rate of ROS generation associated with the reverse electron
transport increased severalfold. These effects were observed only with brain
and spinal cord mitochondria, not with liver or heart mitochondria, suggesting
that they may be restricted to neuronal cells.Taken together, the data presented support the hypothesis that in activated
neurons, the neuromediator glutamate stimulates mitochondrial ATP production
when energy demand is increased. However, in the absence of energy
consumption, glutamate + pyruvate may increase the generation of ROS
severalfold. We suggest that intrinsic inhibition of Complex II by
oxaloacetate is an important natural protective mechanism against ROS
associated with reverse electron transport. 相似文献

The antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine prevented the
autophagy-dependent delivery of mitochondria to the vacuoles, as examined by
fluorescence microscopy of mitochondria-targeted green fluorescent protein,
transmission electron microscopy, and Western blot analysis of mitochondrial
proteins. The effect of N-acetyl-l-cysteine was specific
to mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy). Indeed, autophagy-dependent activation
of alkaline phosphatase and the presence of hallmarks of non-selective
microautophagy were not altered by N-acetyl-l-cysteine.
The effect of N-acetyl-l-cysteine was not related to its
scavenging properties, but rather to its fueling effect of the glutathione
pool. As a matter of fact, the decrease of the glutathione pool induced by
chemical or genetical manipulation did stimulate mitophagy but not general
autophagy. Conversely, the addition of a cell-permeable form of glutathione
inhibited mitophagy. Inhibition of glutathione synthesis had no effect in the
strain Δuth1, which is deficient in selective mitochondrial
degradation. These data show that mitophagy can be regulated independently of
general autophagy, and that its implementation may depend on the cellular
redox status.Autophagy is a major pathway for the lysosomal/vacuolar delivery of
long-lived proteins and organelles, where they are degraded and recycled.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in differentiation and cellular response to
stress and is conserved in eukaryotic cells from yeast to mammals
(1,
2). The main form of autophagy,
macroautophagy, involves the non-selective sequestration of large portions of
the cytoplasm into double-membrane structures termed autophagosomes, and their
delivery to the vacuole/lysosome for degradation. Another process,
microautophagy, involves the direct sequestration of parts of the cytoplasm by
vacuole/lysosomes. The two processes coexist in yeast cells but their extent
may depend on different factors including metabolic state: for example, we
have observed that nitrogen-starved lactate-grown yeast cells develop
microautophagy, whereas nitrogen-starved glucose-grown cells preferentially
develop macroautophagy (3).Both macroautophagy and microautophagy are essentially non-selective, in
the way that autophagosomes and vacuole invaginations do not appear to
discriminate the sequestered material. However, selective forms of autophagy
have been observed (4) that
target namely peroxisomes (5,
6), chromatin
(7,
8), endoplasmic reticulum
(9), ribosomes
(10), and mitochondria
(3,
11–13).
Although non-selective autophagy plays an essential role in survival by
nitrogen starvation, by providing amino acids to the cell, selective autophagy
is more likely to have a function in the maintenance of cellular structures,
both under normal conditions as a “housecleaning” process, and
under stress conditions by eliminating altered organelles and macromolecular
structures
(14–16).
Selective autophagy targeting mitochondria, termed mitophagy, may be
particularly relevant to stress conditions. The mitochondrial respiratory
chain is both the main site and target of
ROS4 production
(17). Consequently, the
maintenance of a pool of healthy mitochondria is a crucial challenge for the
cells. The progressive accumulation of altered mitochondria
(18) caused by the loss of
efficiency of the maintenance process (degradation/biogenesis de
novo) is often considered as a major cause of cellular aging
(19–23).
In mammalian cells, autophagic removal of mitochondria has been shown to be
triggered following induction/blockade of apoptosis
(23), suggesting that
autophagy of mitochondria was required for cell survival following
mitochondria injury (14).
Consistent with this idea, a direct alteration of mitochondrial permeability
properties has been shown to induce mitochondrial autophagy
(13,
24,
25). Furthermore, inactivation
of catalase induced the autophagic elimination of altered mitochondria
(26). In the yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the alteration of
F0F1-ATPase biogenesis in a conditional mutant has been
shown to trigger autophagy
(27). Alterations of
mitochondrial ion homeostasis caused by the inactivation of the
K+/H+ exchanger was shown to cause both autophagy and
mitophagy (28). We have
reported that treatment of cells with rapamycin induced early ROS production
and mitochondrial lipid oxidation that could be inhibited by the hydrophobic
antioxidant resveratrol (29).
Furthermore, resveratrol treatment impaired autophagic degradation of both
cytosolic and mitochondrial proteins and delayed rapamycin-induced cell death,
suggesting that mitochondrial oxidation events may play a crucial role in the
regulation of autophagy. This existence of regulation of autophagy by ROS has
received molecular support in HeLa cells
(30): these authors showed
that starvation stimulated ROS production, namely H2O2,
which was essential for autophagy. Furthermore, they identified the cysteine
protease hsAtg4 as a direct target for oxidation by
H2O2. This provided a possible connection between the
mitochondrial status and regulation of autophagy.Investigations of mitochondrial autophagy in nitrogen-starved lactate-grown
yeast cells have established the existence of two distinct processes: the
first one occurring very early, is selective for mitochondria and is dependent
on the presence of the mitochondrial protein Uth1p; the second one occurring
later, is not selective for mitochondria, is not dependent on Uth1p, and is a
form of bulk microautophagy
(3). The absence of the
selective process in the Δuth1 mutant strongly delays and
decreases mitochondrial protein degradation
(3,
12). The putative protein
phosphatase Aup1p has been also shown to be essential in inducing mitophagy
(31). Additionally several Atg
proteins were shown to be involved in vacuolar sequestration of mitochondrial
GFP (3,
12,
32,
33). Recently, the protein
Atg11p, which had been already identified as an essential protein for
selective autophagy has also been reported as being essential for mitophagy
(33).The question remains as to identify of the signals that trigger selective
mitophagy. It is particularly intriguing that selective mitophagy is activated
very early after the shift to a nitrogen-deprived medium
(3). Furthermore, selective
mitophagy is very active on lactate-grown cells (with fully differentiated
mitochondria) but is nearly absent in glucose-grown cells
(3). In the present paper, we
investigated the relationships between the redox status of the cells and
selective mitophagy, namely by manipulating glutathione. Our results support
the view that redox imbalance is a trigger for the selective elimination of
mitochondria. 相似文献

Galectins have been implicated in T cell homeostasis playing complementary
pro-apoptotic roles. Here we show that galectin-8 (Gal-8) is a potent
pro-apoptotic agent in Jurkat T cells inducing a complex phospholipase
D/phosphatidic acid signaling pathway that has not been reported for any
galectin before. Gal-8 increases phosphatidic signaling, which enhances the
activity of both ERK1/2 and type 4 phosphodiesterases (PDE4), with a
subsequent decrease in basal protein kinase A activity. Strikingly, rolipram
inhibition of PDE4 decreases ERK1/2 activity. Thus Gal-8-induced PDE4
activation releases a negative influence of cAMP/protein kinase A on ERK1/2.
The resulting strong ERK1/2 activation leads to expression of the death factor
Fas ligand and caspase-mediated apoptosis. Several conditions that decrease
ERK1/2 activity also decrease apoptosis, such as anti-Fas ligand blocking
antibodies. In addition, experiments with freshly isolated human peripheral
blood mononuclear cells, previously stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28,
show that Gal-8 is pro-apoptotic on activated T cells, most likely on a
subpopulation of them. Anti-Gal-8 autoantibodies from patients with systemic
lupus erythematosus block the apoptotic effect of Gal-8. These results
implicate Gal-8 as a novel T cell suppressive factor, which can be
counterbalanced by function-blocking autoantibodies in autoimmunity.Glycan-binding proteins of the galectin family have been increasingly
studied as regulators of the immune response and potential therapeutic agents
for autoimmune disorders (1).
To date, 15 galectins have been identified and classified according with the
structural organization of their distinctive monomeric or dimeric carbohydrate
recognition domain for β-galactosides
(2,
3). Galectins are secreted by
unconventional mechanisms and once outside the cells bind to and cross-link
multiple glycoconjugates both at the cell surface and at the extracellular
matrix, modulating processes as diverse as cell adhesion, migration,
proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis
(4–10).
Several galectins have been involved in T cell homeostasis because of their
capability to kill thymocytes, activated T cells, and T cell lines
(11–16).
Pro-apoptotic galectins might contribute to shape the T cell repertoire in the
thymus by negative selection, restrict the immune response by eliminating
activated T cells at the periphery
(1), and help cancer cells to
escape the immune system by eliminating cancer-infiltrating T cells
(17). They have also a
promising therapeutic potential to eliminate abnormally activated T cells and
inflammatory cells (1). Studies
on the mostly explored galectins, Gal-1, -3, and -9
(14,
15,
18–20),
as well as in Gal-2 (13),
suggest immunosuppressive complementary roles inducing different pathways to
apoptosis. Galectin-8
(Gal-8)4 is one of the
most widely expressed galectins in human tissues
(21,
22) and cancerous cells
(23,
24). Depending on the cell
context and mode of presentation, either as soluble stimulus or extracellular
matrix, Gal-8 can promote cell adhesion, spreading, growth, and apoptosis
(6,
7,
9,
10,
22,
25). Its role has been mostly
studied in relation to tumor malignancy
(23,
24). However, there is some
evidence regarding a role for Gal-8 in T cell homeostasis and autoimmune or
inflammatory disorders. For instance, the intrathymic expression and
pro-apoptotic effect of Gal-8 upon CD4highCD8high
thymocytes suggest a role for Gal-8 in shaping the T cell repertoire
(16). Gal-8 could also
modulate the inflammatory function of neutrophils
(26), Moreover Gal-8-blocking
agents have been detected in chronic autoimmune disorders
(10,
27,
28). In rheumatoid arthritis,
Gal-8 has an anti-inflammatory action, promoting apoptosis of synovial fluid
cells, but can be counteracted by a specific rheumatoid version of CD44
(CD44vRA) (27). In systemic
lupus erythematosus (SLE), a prototypic autoimmune disease, we recently
described function-blocking autoantibodies against Gal-8
(10,
28). Thus it is important to
define the role of Gal-8 and the influence of anti-Gal-8 autoantibodies in
immune cells.In Jurkat T cells, we previously reported that Gal-8 interacts with
specific integrins, such as α1β1, α3β1, and
α5β1 but not α4β1, and as a matrix protein promotes cell
adhesion and asymmetric spreading through activation of the extracellular
signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2)
(10). These early effects
occur within 5–30 min. However, ERK1/2 signaling supports long term
processes such as T cell survival or death, depending on the moment of the
immune response. During T cell activation, ERK1/2 contributes to enhance the
expression of interleukin-2 (IL-2) required for T cell clonal expansion
(29). It also supports T cell
survival against pro-apoptotic Fas ligand (FasL) produced by themselves and by
other previously activated T cells
(30,
31). Later on, ERK1/2 is
required for activation-induced cell death, which controls the extension of
the immune response by eliminating recently activated and restimulated T cells
(32,
33). In activation-induced
cell death, ERK1/2 signaling contributes to enhance the expression of FasL and
its receptor Fas/CD95 (32,
33), which constitute a
preponderant pro-apoptotic system in T cells
(34). Here, we ask whether
Gal-8 is able to modulate the intensity of ERK1/2 signaling enough to
participate in long term processes involved in T cell homeostasis.The functional integration of ERK1/2 and PKA signaling
(35) deserves special
attention. cAMP/PKA signaling plays an immunosuppressive role in T cells
(36) and is altered in SLE
(37). Phosphodiesterases
(PDEs) that degrade cAMP release the immunosuppressive action of cAMP/PKA
during T cell activation (38,
39). PKA has been described to
control the activity of ERK1/2 either positively or negatively in different
cells and processes (35). A
little explored integration among ERK1/2 and PKA occurs via phosphatidic acid
(PA) and PDE signaling. Several stimuli activate phospholipase D (PLD) that
hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine into PA and choline. Such PLD-generated PA
plays roles in signaling interacting with a variety of targeting proteins that
bear PA-binding domains (40).
In this way PA recruits Raf-1 to the plasma membrane
(41). It is also converted by
phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase (PAP) activity into diacylglycerol (DAG),
which among other functions, recruits and activates the GTPase Ras
(42). Both Ras and Raf-1 are
upstream elements of the ERK1/2 activation pathway
(43). In addition, PA binds to
and activates PDEs of the type 4 subfamily (PDE4s) leading to decreased cAMP
levels and PKA down-regulation
(44). The regulation and role
of PA-mediated control of ERK1/2 and PKA remain relatively unknown in T cell
homeostasis, because it is also unknown whether galectins stimulate the PLD/PA
pathway.Here we found that Gal-8 induces apoptosis in Jurkat T cells by triggering
cross-talk between PKA and ERK1/2 pathways mediated by PLD-generated PA. Our
results for the first time show that a galectin increases the PA levels,
down-regulates the cAMP/PKA system by enhancing rolipram-sensitive PDE
activity, and induces an ERK1/2-dependent expression of the pro-apoptotic
factor FasL. The enhanced PDE activity induced by Gal-8 is required for the
activation of ERK1/2 that finally leads to apoptosis. Gal-8 also induces
apoptosis in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), especially after
activating T cells with anti-CD3/CD28. Therefore, Gal-8 shares with other
galectins the property of killing activated T cells contributing to the T cell
homeostasis. The pathway involves a particularly integrated signaling context,
engaging PLD/PA, cAMP/PKA, and ERK1/2, which so far has not been reported for
galectins. The pro-apoptotic function of Gal-8 also seems to be unique in its
susceptibility to inhibition by anti-Gal-8 autoantibodies. 相似文献

As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses exploit diverse cellular
signaling machineries, including the mitogen-activated protein-kinase pathway,
during their infections. We have demonstrated previously that the open reading
frame 45 (ORF45) of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus interacts with p90
ribosomal S6 kinases (RSKs) and strongly stimulates their kinase activities
(Kuang, E., Tang, Q., Maul, G. G., and Zhu, F.
(2008) J. Virol. 82
,1838
-1850). Here, we define the
mechanism by which ORF45 activates RSKs. We demonstrated that binding of ORF45
to RSK increases the association of extracellular signal-regulated kinase
(ERK) with RSK, such that ORF45, RSK, and ERK formed high molecular mass
protein complexes. We further demonstrated that the complexes shielded active
pERK and pRSK from dephosphorylation. As a result, the complex-associated RSK
and ERK were activated and sustained at high levels. Finally, we provide
evidence that this mechanism contributes to the sustained activation of ERK
and RSK in Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus lytic replication.The extracellular signal-regulated kinase
(ERK)2
mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway has been implicated
in diverse cellular physiological processes including proliferation, survival,
growth, differentiation, and motility
(1-4)
and is also exploited by a variety of viruses such as Kaposi
sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), human cytomegalovirus, human
immunodeficiency virus, respiratory syncytial virus, hepatitis B virus,
coxsackie, vaccinia, coronavirus, and influenza virus
(5-17).
The MAPK kinases relay the extracellular signaling through sequential
phosphorylation to an array of cytoplasmic and nuclear substrates to elicit
specific responses (1,
2,
18). Phosphorylation of MAPK
is reversible. The kinetics of deactivation or duration of signaling dictates
diverse biological outcomes
(19,
20). For example, sustained
but not transient activation of ERK signaling induces the differentiation of
PC12 cells into sympathetic-like neurons and transformation of NIH3T3 cells
(20-22).
During viral infection, a unique biphasic ERK activation has been observed for
some viruses (an early transient activation triggered by viral binding or
entry and a late sustained activation correlated with viral gene expression),
but the responsible viral factors and underlying mechanism for the sustained
ERK activation remain largely unknown
(5,
8,
13,
23).The p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (RSKs) are a family of serine/threonine
kinases that lie at the terminus of the ERK pathway
(1,
24-26).
In mammals, four isoforms are known, RSK1 to RSK4. Each one has two
catalytically functional kinase domains, the N-terminal kinase domain (NTKD)
and C-terminal kinase domain (CTKD) as well as a linker region between the
two. The NTKD is responsible for phosphorylation of exogenous substrates, and
the CTKD and linker region regulate RSK activation
(1,
24,
25). In quiescent cells ERK
binds to the docking site in the C terminus of RSK
(27-29).
Upon mitogen stimulation, ERK is activated by its upstream MAPK/ERK kinase
(MEK). The active ERK phosphorylates Thr-359/Ser-363 of RSK in the linker
region (amino acid numbers refer to human RSK1) and Thr-573 in the CTKD
activation loop. The activated CTKD then phosphorylates Ser-380 in the linker
region, creating a docking site for 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein
kinase-1. The 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 phosphorylates
Ser-221 of RSK in the activation loop and activates the NTKD. The activated
NTKD autophosphorylates the serine residue near the ERK docking site, causing
a transient dissociation of active ERK from RSK
(25,
26,
28). The stimulation of
quiescent cells by a mitogen such as epidermal growth factor or a phorbol
ester such as 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) usually
results in a transient RSK activation that lasts less than 30 min. RSKs have
been implicated in regulating cell survival, growth, and proliferation.
Mutation or aberrant expression of RSK has been implicated in several human
diseases including Coffin-Lowry syndrome and prostate and breast cancers
(1,
24,
25,
30-32).KSHV is a human DNA tumor virus etiologically linked to Kaposi sarcoma,
primary effusion lymphoma, and a subset of multicentric Castleman disease
(33,
34). Infection and
reactivation of KSHV activate multiple MAPK pathways
(6,
12,
35). Noticeably, the ERK/RSK
activation is sustained late during KSHV primary infection and reactivation
from latency (5,
6,
12,
23), but the mechanism of the
sustained ERK/RSK activation is unclear. Recently, we demonstrated that ORF45,
an immediate early and also virion tegument protein of KSHV, interacts with
RSK1 and RSK2 and strongly stimulates their kinase activities
(23). We also demonstrated
that the activation of RSK plays an essential role in KSHV lytic replication
(23). In the present study we
determined the mechanism of ORF45-induced sustained ERK/RSK activation. We
found that ORF45 increases the association of RSK with ERK and protects them
from dephosphorylation, causing sustained activation of both ERK and RSK. 相似文献

Galectin-1 (Gal-1) regulates leukocyte turnover by inducing the cell
surface exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS), a ligand that targets cells for
phagocytic removal, in the absence of apoptosis. Gal-1 monomer-dimer
equilibrium appears to modulate Gal-1-induced PS exposure, although the
mechanism underlying this regulation remains unclear. Here we show that
monomer-dimer equilibrium regulates Gal-1 sensitivity to oxidation. A mutant
form of Gal-1, containing C2S and V5D mutations (mGal-1), exhibits impaired
dimerization and fails to induce cell surface PS exposure while retaining the
ability to recognize carbohydrates and signal Ca2+ flux in
leukocytes. mGal-1 also displayed enhanced sensitivity to oxidation, whereas
ligand, which partially protected Gal-1 from oxidation, enhanced Gal-1
dimerization. Continual incubation of leukocytes with Gal-1 resulted in
gradual oxidative inactivation with concomitant loss of cell surface PS,
whereas rapid oxidation prevented mGal-1 from inducing PS exposure.
Stabilization of Gal-1 or mGal-1 with iodoacetamide fully protected Gal-1 and
mGal-1 from oxidation. Alkylation-induced stabilization allowed Gal-1 to
signal sustained PS exposure in leukocytes and mGal-1 to signal both
Ca2+ flux and PS exposure. Taken together, these results
demonstrate that monomer-dimer equilibrium regulates Gal-1 sensitivity to
oxidative inactivation and provides a mechanism whereby ligand partially
protects Gal-1 from oxidation.Immunological homeostasis relies on efficient contraction of activated
leukocytes following an inflammatory episode. Several factors, including
members of the galectin and tumor necrosis factor families
(1,
2), regulate leukocyte turnover
by inducing apoptotic cell death. In contrast, several galectin family
members, in particular galectin-1
(Gal-1),2 uniquely
regulate neutrophil turnover by inducing phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure,
which normally sensitizes apoptotic cells to phagocytic removal
(3,
4), independent of apoptosis, a
process recently termed preaparesis
(5).Previous studies suggested that dimerization may be required for
Gal-1-induced PS exposure, as a mutant form of Gal-1 (mGal-1) containing two
point mutations within the dimer interface, C2S and V5D (C2S,V5D), displays
impaired Gal-1 dimerization and fails to induce PS exposure
(6). However, the manner in
which monomer-dimer equilibrium regulates Gal-1 signaling remains unclear.
Previous studies suggest that dimerization may be required for efficient
cross-linking of functional receptors or the formation of signaling lattices
(7–9).
Consistent with this, monomeric mutants of several other galectins fail to
induce PS exposure or signal leukocytes
(4,
8). Gal-1 signaling of PS
exposure requires initial signaling events, such as mobilization of
intracellular Ca2+ followed by sustained receptor engagement
(10). Although mGal-1 fails to
induce PS exposure (6), whether
mGal-1 can induce these initial signaling events remains unknown
(10).In addition to directly regulating signaling, monomer-dimer equilibrium may
also regulate other aspects of Gal-1 function. Unlike many other proteins
involved in the regulation of immunity, Gal-1 displays unique sensitivity to
oxidative inactivation
(11–15).
Although engagement of ligand partially protects Gal-1 from oxidation
(15), the impact of Gal-1
oxidation on signaling remains enigmatic. During oxidation, Gal-1 forms three
distinct intramolecular disulfide bridges that facilitate profound
conformational changes that preclude ligand binding and Gal-1 dimerization
(12–14),
suggesting that monomerdimer equilibrium may also regulate Gal-1 sensitivity
to oxidative inactivation.Previous studies utilized dithiothreitol (DTT) in treatment conditions to
protect Gal-1 from oxidative inactivation
(16,
17). Indeed, failure to
include DTT precluded Gal-1-induced death in T cells
(3,
18), suggesting that Gal-1
undergoes rapid oxidation in vivo in the absence of reducing
conditions. However, DTT itself can induce apoptosis in leukocytes
(19), leaving questions
regarding the impact of Gal-1 oxidation on these signaling events. In
contrast, recent studies utilizing iodoacetamide-alkylated Gal-1 (iGal-1),
previously shown to protect Gal-1 from oxidative inactivation
(20–29),
demonstrated that DTT actually primes cells to become sensitive to
Gal-1-induced apoptosis regardless of Gal-1 sensitivity to oxidation
(5).As the engagement of leukocyte ligands requires glycan recognition and
oxidation precludes this binding
(11,
15), understanding the impact
of oxidation on Gal-1 signals will facilitate a greater appreciation of the
factors that govern Gal-1 oxidation and therefore function. Our results
demonstrate that Gal-1 monomer-dimer equilibrium provides a key regulatory
point controlling both Gal-1 sensitivity to oxidation and its ability to
signal PS exposure in leukocytes. These results provide novel insights into
Gal-1 function and explain at a biochemical level the mechanisms regulating
Gal-1 oxidative inactivation and signaling. 相似文献

Intersectin-short (intersectin-s) is a multimodule scaffolding protein
functioning in constitutive and regulated forms of endocytosis in non-neuronal
cells and in synaptic vesicle (SV) recycling at the neuromuscular junction of
Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans. In vertebrates,
alternative splicing generates a second isoform, intersectin-long
(intersectin-l), that contains additional modular domains providing a guanine
nucleotide exchange factor activity for Cdc42. In mammals, intersectin-s is
expressed in multiple tissues and cells, including glia, but excluded from
neurons, whereas intersectin-l is a neuron-specific isoform. Thus,
intersectin-I may regulate multiple forms of endocytosis in mammalian neurons,
including SV endocytosis. We now report, however, that intersectin-l is
localized to somatodendritic regions of cultured hippocampal neurons, with
some juxtanuclear accumulation, but is excluded from synaptophysin-labeled
axon terminals. Consistently, intersectin-l knockdown (KD) does not affect SV
recycling. Instead intersectin-l co-localizes with clathrin heavy chain and
adaptor protein 2 in the somatodendritic region of neurons, and its KD reduces
the rate of transferrin endocytosis. The protein also co-localizes with
F-actin at dendritic spines, and intersectin-l KD disrupts spine maturation
during development. Our data indicate that intersectin-l is indeed an
important regulator of constitutive endocytosis and neuronal development but
that it is not a prominent player in the regulated endocytosis of SVs.Clathrin-mediated endocytosis
(CME)4 is a
major mechanism by which cells take up nutrients, control the surface levels
of multiple proteins, including ion channels and transporters, and regulate
the coupling of signaling receptors to downstream signaling cascades
(1-5).
In neurons, CME takes on additional specialized roles; it is an important
process regulating synaptic vesicle (SV) availability through endocytosis and
recycling of SV membranes (6,
7), it shapes synaptic
plasticity
(8-10),
and it is crucial in maintaining synaptic membranes and membrane structure
(11).Numerous endocytic accessory proteins participate in CME, interacting with
each other and with core components of the endocytic machinery such as
clathrin heavy chain (CHC) and adaptor protein-2 (AP-2) through specific
modules and peptide motifs
(12). One such module is the
Eps15 homology domain that binds to proteins bearing NPF motifs
(13,
14). Another is the Src
homology 3 (SH3) domain, which binds to proline-rich domains in protein
partners (15). Intersectin is
a multimodule scaffolding protein that interacts with a wide range of
proteins, including several involved in CME
(16). Intersectin has two
N-terminal Eps15 homology domains that are responsible for binding to epsin,
SCAMP1, and numb
(17-19),
a central coil-coiled domain that interacts with Eps15 and SNAP-23 and -25
(17,
20,
21), and five SH3 domains in
its C-terminal region that interact with multiple proline-rich domain
proteins, including synaptojanin, dynamin, N-WASP, CdGAP, and mSOS
(16,
22-25).
The rich binding capability of intersectin has linked it to various functions
from CME (17,
26,
27) and signaling
(22,
28,
29) to mitogenesis
(30,
31) and regulation of the
actin cytoskeleton (23).Intersectin functions in SV recycling at the neuromuscular junction of
Drosophila and C. elegans where it acts as a scaffold,
regulating the synaptic levels of endocytic accessory proteins
(21,
32-34).
In vertebrates, the intersectin gene is subject to alternative splicing, and a
longer isoform (intersectin-l) is generated that is expressed exclusively in
neurons (26,
28,
35,
36). This isoform has all the
binding modules of its short (intersectin-s) counterpart but also has
additional domains: a DH and a PH domain that provide guanine nucleotide
exchange factor (GEF) activity specific for Cdc42
(23,
37) and a C2 domain at the C
terminus. Through its GEF activity and binding to actin regulatory proteins,
including N-WASP, intersectin-l has been implicated in actin regulation and
the development of dendritic spines
(19,
23,
24). In addition, because the
rest of the binding modules are shared between intersectin-s and -l, it is
generally thought that the two intersectin isoforms have the same endocytic
functions. In particular, given the well defined role for the invertebrate
orthologs of intersectin-s in SV endocytosis, it is thought that intersectin-l
performs this role in mammalian neurons, which lack intersectin-s. Defining
the complement of intersectin functional activities in mammalian neurons is
particularly relevant given that the protein is involved in the
pathophysiology of Down syndrome (DS). Specifically, the intersectin gene is
localized on chromosome 21q22.2 and is overexpressed in DS brains
(38). Interestingly,
alterations in endosomal pathways are a hallmark of DS neurons and neurons
from the partial trisomy 16 mouse, Ts65Dn, a model for DS
(39,
40). Thus, an endocytic
trafficking defect may contribute to the DS disease process.Here, the functional roles of intersectin-l were studied in cultured
hippocampal neurons. We find that intersectin-l is localized to the
somatodendritic regions of neurons, where it co-localizes with CHC and AP-2
and regulates the uptake of transferrin. Intersectin-l also co-localizes with
actin at dendritic spines and disrupting intersectin-l function alters
dendritic spine development. In contrast, intersectin-l is absent from
presynaptic terminals and has little or no role in SV recycling. 相似文献

During apoptosis the Golgi apparatus undergoes irreversible fragmentation.
In part, this results from caspase-mediated cleavage of several high molecular
weight coiled-coil proteins, termed golgins. These include GM130, golgin 160,
and the Golgi vesicle tethering protein p115, whose caspase cleavage generates
a C-terminal fragment (CTF) of 205 residues. Here we demonstrate that early
during apoptosis, following the rapid cleavage of p115, endogenous CTF
translocated to the cell nucleus and its nuclear import was required to
enhance the apoptotic response. Expression of a series of deletion constructs
identified a putative α-helical region of 26 amino acids, whose
expression alone was sufficient to induce apoptosis; deletion of these 26
residues from the CTF diminished its proapoptotic activity. This region
contains several potential SUMOylation sites and co-expression of SUMO
together with the SUMO ligase, UBC9, resulted in SUMOylation of the p115 CTF.
Significantly, when cells were treated with drugs that induce apoptosis,
SUMOylation enhanced the efficiency of p115 cleavage and the kinetics of
apoptosis. A construct in which a nuclear export signal was fused to the N
terminus of p115 CTF accumulated in the cytoplasm and surprisingly, its
expression did not induce apoptosis. In contrast, treatment of cells
expressing this chimera with the antibiotic leptomycin induced its
translocation into the nucleus and resulted in the concomitant induction of
apoptosis. These results demonstrate that nuclear import of the p115 CTF is
required for it to stimulate the apoptotic response and suggest that its mode
of action is confined to the nucleus.In mammalian cells the Golgi apparatus is a highly polarized organelle
comprising a series of stacked cisternae, which form a lace-like network in
the perinuclear region of the cell. It receives de novo synthesized
secretory and membrane proteins, as well as lipids from the endoplasmic
reticulum (ER)2; these
cargo molecules are then modified, sorted, and transported to lysosomes,
endosomes, secretory granules, and the plasma membrane. Although it is well
established that the Golgi apparatus undergoes reversible disassembly during
mitosis (1,
2), indeed this appears to be a
prerequisite for mitosis (3),
studies from several laboratories including our own, have also established a
link between the Golgi apparatus and apoptosis (programmed cell death). During
apoptosis, the Golgi apparatus undergoes extensive and irreversible
fragmentation (4), the ER
vesiculates (5) and secretion
is inhibited (6).Golgi disassembly during apoptosis results, in part, from caspase-mediated
cleavage of several golgins
(7). Proteolysis of golgin 160
by caspase-2, as well as GRASP65, GM130, p115, syntaxin5, and giantin by
caspases-3 and -7 contributes significantly to Golgi fragmentation
(6,
8–13).
Consistent with this idea, overexpression of caspase-resistant forms of golgin
160, GRASP65, or p115 has been shown to delay the kinetics of Golgi
fragmentation during apoptosis
(8–10).
In addition, immunoreactive caspase-2, an upstream caspase, localizes to the
Golgi apparatus (9) and
caspase-2-mediated cleavage of golgin 160 also appears to be an early event
during apoptosis. Depending on the apoptotic stimulus, expression of a golgin
160 triple mutant resistant to caspase cleavage delays the onset of apoptosis
(12). Recently, our laboratory
demonstrated that Golgi fragmentation is an early apoptotic event that occurs
close to or soon after release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, an
early indicator of apoptosis
(13). Together these
observations demonstrate that specific Golgi proteins may function early
during apoptosis, although their role in this process and the detailed
molecular mechanism by which Golgi fragmentation occurs is not well
understood.A key molecule in mediating Golgi fragmentation during apoptosis is the
vesicle tethering protein p115
(10), a 962-residue peripheral
membrane protein. p115 is an elongated homodimer consisting of two globular
“head” domains, an extended “tail” region reminiscent
of the myosin-II structure
(14), and 4 sequential
coil-coil domains distal to the globular head region, the first of which, CC1,
has been implicated in soluble NSF attachment protein receptors (SNARE)
binding (15). Earlier in
vitro studies on mitotic Golgi reassembly demonstrated that p115
interacts with GM130 and giantin and implicated it in Golgi cisternal stacking
(16). Consistent with this
idea, microinjection of anti-p115 antibodies caused Golgi fragmentation
(17). Based on data
demonstrating p115 binding to GM130, giantin, GOS28, and syntaxin-5, Shorter
et al. (15) suggested
that p115 promotes formation of a GOS28-syntaxin-5 (v-/t-SNARE) complex and
hypothesized that it coordinates the sequential tethering and docking of COPI
vesicles to Golgi membranes. Interestingly, p115 has also been shown to be a
Rab-1 effector that binds Rab-1-GTP directly and cross-linking experiments
showed that it interacts with Syntaxin5, sly1, membrin, and rbet1 on
microsomal membranes and COPII vesicles suggesting that p115-SNARE
interactions may facilitate membrane “docking”
(18).More recent in vivo studies showed that inhibition of GM130 or
giantin binding to p115 had little effect on Golgi morphology or reassembly
following mitosis, suggesting its role in maintaining Golgi structure might be
independent of GM130 binding
(19,
20). Thus post-mitotic Golgi
reassembly could be rescued by p115 lacking the C-terminal GM130 binding motif
(residues 935–962) but not by a mutant lacking the SNARE interacting CC1
domain (20). In addition,
other studies have implicated GM130 and GRASP65 in Golgi ribbon formation and
suggested that this may occur independently of interactions with p115
(21). Most significantly,
knockdown of p115 using siRNA demonstrated that it is essential for
maintaining Golgi structure, compartmentalization, and cargo traffic to the
plasma membrane (20,
22).Earlier work from our laboratory demonstrated that p115 is cleaved in
vitro by caspase-8, an initiator caspase, as well as by the executioner
caspase-3 (10,
13). In response to apoptosis
inducing drugs, p115 is cleaved in vivo at Asp757 to
generate a 205-residue C-terminal fragment and an N-terminal polypeptide of
757 amino acids. Most significantly, expression of the p115 C-terminal
fragment in otherwise healthy cells results in its translocation to the
nucleus and the induction of apoptosis suggesting that this polypeptide plays
a role in potentiating the apoptotic response. To further dissect p115
function during cell death, we have now determined the minimal domain in its C
terminus that mediates apoptosis efficiently and analyzed the requirement of
nuclear translocation in triggering the apoptotic response. 相似文献

Macroautophagy is a vacuolar lysosomal catabolic pathway that is stimulated
during periods of nutrient starvation to preserve cell integrity. Ceramide is
a bioactive sphingolipid associated with a large range of cell processes. Here
we show that short-chain ceramides (C2-ceramide and
C6-ceramide) and stimulation of the de novo ceramide
synthesis by tamoxifen induce the dissociation of the complex formed between
the autophagy protein Beclin 1 and the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. This
dissociation is required for macroautophagy to be induced either in response
to ceramide or to starvation. Three potential phosphorylation sites,
Thr69, Ser70, and Ser87, located in the
non-structural N-terminal loop of Bcl-2, play major roles in the dissociation
of Bcl-2 from Beclin 1. We further show that activation of c-Jun N-terminal
protein kinase 1 by ceramide is required both to phosphorylate Bcl-2 and to
stimulate macroautophagy. These findings reveal a new aspect of sphingolipid
signaling in up-regulating a major cell process involved in cell adaptation to
stress.Macroautophagy (referred to below as “autophagy”) is a
vacuolar, lysosomal degradation pathway for cytoplasmic constituents that is
conserved in eukaryotic cells
(1–3).
Autophagy is initiated by the formation of a multimembrane-bound autophagosome
that engulfs cytoplasmic proteins and organelles. The last stage in the
process results in fusion with the lysosomal compartments, where the
autophagic cargo undergoes degradation. Basal autophagy is important in
controlling the quality of the cytoplasm by removing damaged organelles and
protein aggregates. Inhibition of basal autophagy in the brain is deleterious,
and leads to neurodegeneration in mouse models
(4,
5). Stimulation of autophagy
during periods of nutrient starvation is a physiological response present at
birth and has been shown to provide energy in various tissues of newborn pups
(6). In cultured cells,
starvation-induced autophagy is an autonomous cell survival mechanism, which
provides nutrients to maintain a metabolic rate and level of ATP compatible
with cell survival (7). In
addition, starvation-induced autophagy blocks the induction of apoptosis
(8). In other contexts, such as
drug treatment and a hypoxic environment, autophagy has also been shown to be
cytoprotective in cancer cells
(9,
10). However, autophagy is
also part of cell death pathways in certain situations
(11). Autophagy can be a
player in apoptosis-independent type-2 cell death (type-1 cell death is
apoptosis), also known as autophagic cell death. This situation has been shown
to occur when the apoptotic machinery is crippled in mammalian cells
(12,
13). Autophagy can also be
part of the apoptotic program, for instance in tumor necrosis
factor-α-induced cell death when NF-κB is inhibited
(14), or in human
immunodeficiency virus envelope-mediated cell death in bystander naive CD4 T
cells (15). Moreover autophagy
has recently been shown to be required for the externalization of
phosphatidylserine, the eat-me signal for phagocytic cells, at the surface of
apoptotic cells (16).The complex relationship between autophagy and apoptosis reflects the
intertwined regulation of these processes
(17,
18). Many signaling pathways
involved in the regulation of autophagy also regulate apoptosis. This
intertwining has recently been shown to occur at the level of the molecular
machinery of autophagy. In fact the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 has been
shown to inhibit starvation-induced autophagy by interacting with the
autophagy protein Beclin 1
(19). Beclin 1 is one of the
Atg proteins conserved from yeast to humans (it is the mammalian orthologue of
yeast Atg6) and is involved in autophagosome formation
(20). Beclin 1 is a platform
protein that interacts with several different partners, including hVps34
(class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase), which is responsible for the
synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. The production of this lipid is
important for events associated with the nucleation of the isolation membrane
before it elongates and closes to form autophagosomes in response to other Atg
proteins, including the Atg12 and
LC32
(microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 is the mammalian orthologue of
the yeast Atg8) ubiquitin-like conjugation systems
(3,
21). Various partners
associated with the Beclin 1 complex modulate the activity of hVps34. For
instance, Bcl-2 inhibits the activity of this enzyme, whereas UVRAG, Ambra-1,
and Bif-1 all up-regulate it
(22,
23).In view of the intertwining between autophagy and apoptosis, it is
noteworthy that Beclin 1 belongs to the BH3-only family of proteins
(24–26).
However, and unlike most of the proteins in this family, Beclin 1 is not able
to trigger apoptosis when its expression is forced in cells
(27). A BH3-mimetic drug,
ABT-737, is able to dissociate the Beclin 1-Bcl-2 complex, and to trigger
autophagy by mirroring the effect of starvation
(25).The sphingolipids constitute a family of bioactive lipids
(28–32)
of which several members, such as ceramide and sphingosine 1-phosphate, are
signaling molecules. These molecules constitute a “sphingolipid
rheostat” that determines the fate of the cell, because in many settings
ceramide is pro-apoptotic and sphingosine 1-phosphate mitigates this apoptotic
effect (31,
32). However, ceramide is also
engaged in a wide variety of other cell processes, such as the formation of
exosomes (33),
differentiation, cell proliferation, and senescence
(34). Recently we showed that
both ceramide and sphingosine 1-phosphate are able to stimulate autophagy
(35,
36). It has also been shown
that ceramide triggers autophagy in a large panel of mammalian cells
(37–39).
However, elucidation of the mechanism by which ceramide stimulates autophagy
is still in its infancy. We have previously demonstrated that ceramide induces
autophagy in breast and colon cancer cells by inhibiting the Class I
phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate/mTOR signaling pathway, which plays a central
role in inhibiting autophagy
(36). Inhibition of mTOR is
another hallmark of starvation-induced autophagy
(17). This finding led us to
investigate the effect of ceramide on the Beclin 1-Bcl-2 complex. The results
presented here show that ceramide is more potent than starvation in
dissociating the Beclin 1-Bcl-2 complex (see Ref.
40). This dissociation is
dependent on three phosphorylation sites (Thr69, Ser70,
and Ser87) located in a non-structural loop of Bcl-2. Ceramide
induces the c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1-dependent phosphorylation of Bcl-2.
Expression of a dominant negative form of JNK1 blocks Bcl-2 phosphorylation,
and thus the induction of autophagy by ceramide. These findings help to
explain how autophagy is regulated by a major lipid second messenger. 相似文献

Parkinson disease (PD)-associated genomic deletions and the destabilizing
L166P point mutation lead to loss of the cytoprotective DJ-1 protein. The
effects of other PD-associated point mutations are less clear. Here we
demonstrate that the M26I mutation reduces DJ-1 expression, particularly in a
null background (knockout mouse embryonic fibroblasts). Thus, homozygous M26I
mutation causes loss of DJ-1 protein. To determine the cellular consequences,
we measured suppression of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) and
cytotoxicity for [M26I]DJ-1, and systematically all other DJ-1 methionine and
cysteine mutants. C106A mutation of the central redox site specifically
abolished binding to ASK1 and the cytoprotective activity of DJ-1. DJ-1 was
apparently recruited into the ASK1 signalosome via Cys-106-linked mixed
disulfides. The designed higher order oxidation mimicking [C106DD]DJ-1
non-covalently bound to ASK1 even in the absence of hydrogen peroxide and
conferred partial cytoprotection. Interestingly, mutations of peripheral redox
sites (C46A and C53A) and M26I also led to constitutive ASK1 binding.
Cytoprotective [wt]DJ-1 bound to the ASK1 N terminus (which is known to bind
another negative regulator, thioredoxin 1), whereas [M26I]DJ-1 bound to
aberrant C-terminal site(s). Consequently, the peripheral cysteine mutants
retained cytoprotective activity, whereas the PD-associated mutant [M26I]DJ-1
failed to suppress ASK1 activity and nuclear export of the death
domain-associated protein Daxx and did not promote cytoprotection. Thus,
cytoprotective binding of DJ-1 to ASK1 depends on the central redox-sensitive
Cys-106 and may be modulated by peripheral cysteine residues. We suggest that
impairments in oxidative conformation changes of DJ-1 might contribute to PD
neurodegeneration.Loss-of-function mutations in the DJ-1 gene (PARK7) cause
autosomal-recessive hereditary Parkinson disease
(PD)2
(1). The most dramatic
PD-associated mutation L166P impairs DJ-1 dimer formation and dramatically
destabilizes the protein
(2–7).
Other mutations such as M26I
(8) and E64D
(9) have more subtle defects
with unclear cellular consequences
(4,
7,
10,
11). In addition to this
genetic association, DJ-1 is neuropathologically linked to PD. DJ-1 is
up-regulated in reactive astrocytes, and it is oxidatively modified in brains
of sporadic PD patients
(12–14).DJ-1 protects against oxidative stress and mitochondrial toxins in cell
culture
(15–17)
as well as in diverse animal models
(18–21).
The cytoprotective effects of DJ-1 may be stimulated by oxidation and mediated
by molecular chaperoning (22,
23), and/or facilitation of
the pro-survival Akt and suppression of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1
(ASK1) pathways (6,
24,
25). The cytoprotective
activity of DJ-1 against oxidative stress depends on its cysteine residues
(15,
17,
26). Among the three cysteine
residues of DJ-1, the most prominent one is the easiest oxidizable Cys-106
(27) that is in a constrained
conformation (28), but the
other cysteine residues Cys-46 and Cys-53 have been implicated with DJ-1
activity as well (22).
However, the molecular basis of oxidation-mediated cytoprotective activity of
DJ-1 is not clear. Moreover, the roles of PD-mutated and in vivo
oxidized methionines are not known.Here we have mutagenized all oxidizable residues within DJ-1 and studied
the effects on protein stability and function. The PD-associated mutation M26I
within the DJ-1 dimer interface selectively reduced protein expression as well
as ASK1 suppression and cytoprotective activity in oxidatively stressed cells.
These cell culture results support a pathogenic effect of the clinical M26I
mutation (8). Furthermore,
oxidation-defective C106A mutation abolished binding to ASK1 and
cytoprotective activity of DJ-1, whereas the designed higher order oxidation
mimicking mutant [C106DD]DJ-1 bound to ASK1 even in the absence of
H2O2 and conferred partial cytoprotection. The
peripheral cysteine mutants [C46A]DJ-1 and [C53A]DJ-1 were also cytoprotective
and were incorporated into the ASK1 signalosome even in the basal state. Thus,
DJ-1 may be activated by a complex mechanism, which depends on the redox
center Cys-106 and is modulated by the peripheral cysteine residues.
Impairments of oxidative DJ-1 activation might contribute to the pathogenesis
of PD. 相似文献

Glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPx-1) is a selenocysteine-containing enzyme that
plays a major role in the reductive detoxification of peroxides in cells. In
permanently transfected cells with approximate 2-fold overexpression of GPx-1,
we found that intracellular accumulation of oxidants in response to exogenous
hydrogen peroxide was diminished, as was epidermal growth factor receptor
(EGFR)-mediated Akt activation in response to hydrogen peroxide or EGF
stimulation. Knockdown of GPx-1 augmented EGFR-mediated Akt activation,
whereas overexpression of catalase decreased Akt activation, suggesting that
EGFR signaling is regulated by redox mechanisms. To determine whether
mitochondrial oxidants played a role in these processes, cells were pretreated
with a mitochondrial uncoupler prior to EGF stimulation. Inhibition of
mitochondrial function attenuated EGF-mediated activation of Akt in control
cells but had no additional effect in GPx-1-overexpressing cells, suggesting
that GPx-1 overexpression decreased EGFR signaling by decreasing mitochondrial
oxidants. Consistent with this finding, GPx-1 overexpression decreased global
protein disulfide bond formation, which is dependent on mitochondrially
produced oxidants. GPx-1 overexpression, in permanently transfected or
adenovirus-treated cells, also caused overall mitochondrial dysfunction with a
decrease in mitochondrial potential and a decrease in ATP production. GPx-1
overexpression also decreased EGF- and serum-mediated [3H]thymidine
incorporation, indicating that alterations in GPx-1 can attenuate cell
proliferation. Taken together, these data suggest that GPx-1 can modulate
redox-dependent cellular responses by regulating mitochondrial function.Accumulation of reactive oxygen species
(ROS),2 such as
superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide, is thought to contribute to cellular
damage, apoptosis, and cell death
(1–3);
however, ROS production is part of normal cellular metabolism, and evidence is
accumulating that hydrogen peroxide, in particular, may function as a
signaling molecule necessary for cell growth and survival
(4–8).
Superoxide is generated as a byproduct of mitochondrial respiration and by
cellular redox enzymes, such as NADPH oxidase, that are stimulated through
receptor-mediated mechanisms
(9). Hydrogen peroxide is
formed from the dismutation of superoxide, which occurs spontaneously or can
be catalyzed by superoxide dismutase
(10) or, alternatively, is
produced by the two-electron enzymatic reduction of molecular oxygen by
various oxidases, such as xanthine oxidase
(11). Recent studies also
suggest that hydrogen peroxide may be directly generated by receptor-ligand
interactions (12). One
mechanism by which hydrogen peroxide may modulate signal transduction is
through the reversible oxidation of proteins at redox-active cysteines,
including, for example, thiols in tyrosine kinase phosphatases. Oxidation and
inactivation of phosphatases, such as PTEN, have been shown to promote the
activity of the pro-growth and -survival kinase, Akt
(13).Antioxidant enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and
peroxiredoxins, serve to eliminate hydrogen peroxide, thereby regulating
cellular responses to this endogenous oxidant. GPx-1 is a selenoprotein and
one of a family of peroxidases that reductively inactivate peroxides using
glutathione as a source of reducing equivalents
(14,
15). GPx-1, in particular, is
a major intracellular antioxidant enzyme that is found in the cytoplasm and
mitochondria of all cell types. In cell culture models as well as in genetic
mouse models, GPx-1 overexpression is associated with enhanced protection
against oxidative stress
(16–19);
however, GPx-1-overexpressing mice can become obese and insulin-resistant, and
have attenuated insulin-mediated activation of Akt
(20). Thus, to study how GPx-1
modulates the effects of cellular oxidants on cell signaling and cell growth,
we analyzed cellular responses to hydrogen peroxide and EGF in permanently
transfected cells overexpressing GPx-1. 相似文献
