HSPA5 negatively regulates lysosomal activity through ubiquitination of MUL1 in head and neck cancer

HSPA5/GRP78/BiP plays an important role in cell survival or tumor progression. For these reasons, HSPA5 is an emerging therapeutic target in cancer development. Here we report that HSPA5 contributes to head and neck cancer (HNC) survival via maintenance of lysosomal activity; however, a nonthermal plasma (NTP, considered as a next-generation cancer therapy)-treated solution (NTS) inhibits HNC progression through HSPA5-dependent alteration of lysosomal activity. HSPA5 prevents NTS-induced lysosome inhibition through lysosomal-related proteins or regulation of gene expression. However, NTS-induced MUL1/MULAN/GIDE/MAPL (mitochondrial ubiquitin ligase activator of NFKB 1) leads to downregulation of HSPA5 via K48-linked ubiquitination at the lysine 446 (K446) residue. MUL1 knockdown hinders NTS-induced lysosome inhibition or cytotoxicity through the reduction of HSPA5 ubiquitination in HNC cells. While MUL1 was suppressed, HSPA5 was overexpressed in tissues of HNC patients. NTS strongly inhibited HNC progression via alterations of expression of MUL1 and HSPA5, in vivo in a xenograft model. However, NTS did not induce inhibition of tumor progression or HSPA5 reduction in MUL1 knockout (KO) HNC cells which were generated by CRISPR/Cas9 system. The data provide compelling evidence to support the idea that the regulation of the MUL1-HSPA5 axis can be a novel strategy for the treatment of HNC.

光动力抗微生物化学疗法对解脲脲原体体外活性的影响

解脲脲原体是一种重要的病原微生物,近年来其耐药形势十分严峻,因此寻找一种全新的有效替代治疗方案尤为重要。本研究旨在探索光动力抗微生物化学疗法对解脲脲原体体外活性的影响。选取解脲脲原体两种生物群（Parvo生物群及T960生物群）代表菌株,包括标准株及临床株,与系列稀释的2.5~0.039 062 5 mmol/L光敏剂甲苯胺蓝孵育20 min或60 min,再以（633±10）nm红光照射,设置48、102、204和408 mJ/cm²共4组能量密度,48 h后判读结果。观察不同解脲脲原体与甲苯胺蓝孵育时间、甲苯胺蓝浓度、光照能量密度对光动力抗微生物化学疗法灭活解脲脲原体效果的影响,并观察两种生物群对光动力抗微生物化学疗法敏感性的差异。结果显示,光动力抗微生物化学疗法在体外对解脲脲原体有明显灭活作用。在光照能量密度及解脲脲原体与甲苯胺蓝孵育时间固定的前提下,这种灭活作用随甲苯胺蓝浓度的增加而增强;单一633 nm红光光源在408 J/cm²及以下的能量密度对解脲脲原体的活性无明显影响。在甲苯胺蓝浓度及解脲脲原体与甲苯胺蓝孵育时间固定的条件下,光动力抗微生物化学疗法对解脲脲原体的灭活作用随光照能量密度（48~408 mJ/cm²）的增加而增强;随甲苯胺蓝孵育时间（30~60 min）延长,光动力抗微生物化学疗法对解脲脲原体的灭活作用有增强的趋势。结果提示,解脲脲原体两种生物群对光动力抗微生物化学疗法的敏感性相似。本研究证实,光动力抗微生物化学疗法在体外能有效灭活解脲脲原体,有望成为解脲脲原体感染的有效替代治疗方法。     

Upwelling and eddies affect connectivity among local populations of the goldeye rockfish,Sebastes thompsoni (Pisces,Scorpaenoidei)

The goldeye rockfish, Sebastes thompsoni, commercial rockfish catch in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, may influence its population structure. To clarify the population genetic structure of Korean S. thompsoni and its degree of hybridization with the most close species, Sebastes joyneri, we analyzed a mitochondrial (mt) DNA control region and eleven polymorphic microsatellite (ms) loci. S. joyneri individuals were clearly distinguished from S. thompsoni by the mtDNA control region and ms loci results, with single interspecific hybridization between two species suggesting no impact on genetic structure of S. thompsoni. Analysis of mtDNA revealed no population structure within S. thompsoni, suggesting the survival of a single population in southern refugia during the glacial period. The ms loci results, in contrast, showed two genetically distinct clusters within S. thompsoni: One was predominant throughout Korean coasts (from the Yellow Sea, via the Korea Strait to the East Sea); the other was predominant at Dokdo Island in the East Sea; and both occurred in similar ratios at Wangdolcho Reef in the East Sea. A possible factor that restricts gene flow between Korean coastal and offshore populations in the East Sea may be related to the complex oceanic current patterns such as eddies and upwelling, which represent impermeable barriers to population connectivity for this species. Our findings highlight that these two populations might be representative of two separate stock within Korean waters and maintain their geographically related genetic structure.
