Macrophages as the effectors of cancer immunotherapy provide considerable promise for cancer treatment. Prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit alpha 3 (P4HA3) plays a cancer-promoting role in a variety of cancers, including colon cancer. In the present work, we provided evidence for the first time that P4HA3 promoted colon cancer cell escape from macrophage phagocytosis, and preliminarily explored its possible molecular mechanism. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of P4HA3 in tissues. Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the tumor public databases (including TCGA database and GEO database). Macrophage phagocytosis assay and flow cytometric analysis were used to detect the phagocytic capacity of macrophages. Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to detect the expression of related markers (such as P4HA3, CD47, CD24, IL-34, and M-CSF). First, we found that P4HA3 was significantly and highly expressed in both colon cancer tissues and cells, and that P4HA3 had a positive correlation with lymph node metastasis, Dukes stage and also strongly correlated with poorer survival. Subsequently, we found that P4HA3 was strongly associated with the macrophage infiltration level in colon cancer. Immediately we also found that decreasing P4HA3 expression promoted macrophage phagocytosis in colon cancer cells, whereas P4HA3 overexpression produced the opposite effect. Finally, we demonstrated that P4HA3 promoted the expression of cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) in colon cancer cells. Moreover, P4HA3 caused colon cancer cells to secrete Interleukin 34 (IL34) and Macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), which further induced macrophages to differentiate to M2 type and thereby contributed to the progression of colon cancer.

Low free Ca<sup>2+</sup> concentrations (40-250 nM) effectively inhibited the respiratory activity of heart mitochondria, remaining unaffected the efficacy of oxygen consumption. In the presence of high exogenous Ca<sup>2+</sup> ion concentrations (Ca<sup>2+</sup> free was 550 µM), we observed a dramatic increase in mitochondrial heterogeneity in size and electron density, which was related to calcium-induced opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pores (MPTP) and membrane depolarization (Ca<sup>2+</sup>free ions were from 150 to 750 µM). Naringin partially prevented Ca<sup>2+</sup>-induced cardiac mitochondrial morphological transformations (200 µM) and dose-dependently inhibited the respiratory activity of mitochondria (10-75 µM) in the absence or in the presence of calcium ions. Our data suggest that naringin (75 µM) promoted membrane potential dissipation, diminishing the potential-dependent accumulation of calcium ions by mitochondria and inhibiting calcium-induced MPTP formation. The modulating effect of the flavonoid on Ca<sup>2+</sup>-induced mitochondria alterations may be attributed to the weak-acidic nature of the flavonoid and its protonophoric/ionophoric properties.

The immortalized RGC-5 cells were treated with H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> to induce oxidative injury. Cell viability was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8, and apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry and western blot assays. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were examined to evaluate oxidative stress levels. In addition, Thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) was silenced in RGC-5 cells using small interfering RNA followed by signaling pathway examination to explore the underlying mechanisms of melatonin in alleviating oxidative injury. Melatonin pre-treatment significantly alleviated H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-induced apoptosis in RGC-5 cells. Melatonin also markedly reversed the upregulation of cleaved-caspase 3, cleaved-caspase 9, and Bax expression and downregulation of Bcl-2 expression induced by H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Further analyses presented that melatonin significantly attenuated the increase of ROS, LDH, and MDA levels in RGC-5 cells after H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> treatment. Melatonin also abolished the downregulated expression of Superoxide dismutase type 1, Trx1, and Thioredoxin reductase 1, and the reduced activity of thioredoxin reductase in RGC-5 cells after H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> treatment. Notably, Trx1 knockdown significantly mitigated the protective effect of melatonin in alleviating H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress, while administration of compound C, a common inhibitor of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling, partially reversed the effect of Trx1 silencing, thereby ameliorating the apoptosis and oxidative injury induced by H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> in RGC-5 cells. Melatonin could significantly alleviate oxidative stress-induced injury of retinal ganglion cells via modulating Trx1-mediated JNK signaling pathway.</p>","PeriodicalId":18724,"journal":{"name":"Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry","volume":" ","pages":"3393-3404"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139730059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
