Interestingly, Nrf2 plays a somewhat, contradictory role in cancers, including brain cancer. Nrf2 has traditionally been regarded as a tumor suppressor since its cytoprotective functions are considered to be the principle cellular defense mechanism against exogenous and endogenous insults, such as xenobiotics and oxidative stress.

Extensive studies across different eukaryotic cells have identified the crucial roles played by components required for response to DNA damage.

In this study, we investigated Gst1, a putative glutathione transferase in the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. We found that under stress caused by the DNA damage agent MMS, GST1 expression was significantly upregulated, and this upregulation was further enhanced by the loss of the checkpoint kinases and DNA repair factors. Somewhat counterintuitively, deletion of GST1 conferred increased resistance to MMS, potentially via enhancing the phosphorylation of Rad53. Furthermore, overexpression of RAD53 or deletion of GST1 resulted in upregulated transcription of DNA damage repair genes, including CAS1, RAD7, and RAD30, while repression of RAD7 transcription in the GST1 deletion reversed the strain's heightened resistance to MMS. Finally, Gst1 physically interacted with Rad53, and their interaction weakened in response to MMS-induced stress. Overall, our findings suggest a negative regulatory role for GST1 in DNA damage response in C. albicans, and position Gst1 within the Rad53-mediated signaling pathway.

Despite this, the mechanisms driving VC remain incompletely understood. We previously described that nesfatin-1 functioned as a switch for vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plasticity in hypertension and neointimal hyperplasia. In this study, we sought to investigate the role and mechanism of nesfatin-1 in VC. The expression of nesfatin-1 was measured in calcified VSMCs and aortas, as well as in patients. Loss- and gain-of-function experiments were evaluated the roles of nesfatin-1 in VC pathogenesis. The transcription activation of nesfatin-1 was detected using a mass spectrometry. We found higher levels of nesfatin-1 in both calcified VSMCs and aortas, as well as in patients with coronary calcification. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiments revealed that nesfatin-1 was a key regulator of VC by facilitating the osteogenic transformation of VSMCs. Mechanistically, nesfatin-1 promoted the de-ubiquitination and stability of BMP-2 via inhibiting the E3 ligase SYTL4, and the interaction of nesfatin-1 with BMP-2 potentiated BMP-2 signaling and induced phosphorylation of Smad, followed by HDAC4 phosphorylation and nuclear exclusion. The dissociation of HDAC4 from RUNX2 elicited RUNX2 acetylation and subsequent nuclear translocation, leading to the transcription upregulation of OPN, a critical player in VC. From a small library of natural compounds, we identified that Curculigoside and Chebulagic acid reduced VC development via binding to and inhibiting nesfatin-1. Eventually, we designed a mass spectrometry-based DNA-protein interaction screening to identify that STAT3 mediated the transcription activation of nesfatin-1 in the context of VC. Overall, our study demonstrates that nesfatin-1 enhances BMP-2 signaling by inhibiting the E3 ligase SYTL4, thereby stabilizing BMP-2 and facilitating the downstream phosphorylation of SMAD1/5/9 and HDAC4. This signaling cascade leads to RUNX2 activation and the transcriptional upregulation of MSX2, driving VC.

An improved understanding of the precise regulation of EC senescence may provide novel therapeutic strategies for EC and vascular aging-related diseases. This study examined the potential functions of Spinster homolog 2 (SPNS2) in EC senescence and vascular aging. We discovered that the expression of SPNS2 was significantly lower in older adults, aged mice, hydrogen peroxide-induced EC senescence models and EC replicative senescence model, and was correlated with the expression of aging-related factors. in vivo experiments showed that the EC-specific knockout of SPNS2 markedly aggravated vascular aging by substantially, impairing vascular structure and function, as evidenced by the abnormal expression of aging factors, increased inflammation, reduced blood flow, pathological vessel dilation, and elevated collagen levels in a naturally aging mouse model. Moreover, RNA sequencing and molecular biology analyses revealed that the loss of SPNS2 in ECs increased cellular senescence biomarkers, aggravated the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and inhibited cell proliferation. Mechanistically, silencing SPNS2 disrupts pyruvate metabolism homeostasis via pyruvate kinase M (PKM), resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction and EC senescence. Overall, SPNS2 expression and its functions in the mitochondria are crucial regulators of EC senescence and vascular aging.</p>","PeriodicalId":55268,"journal":{"name":"Cell Communication and Signaling","volume":"22 1","pages":"492"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11470683/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142407233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
