In this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between autophagy and apoptosis in MRONJ gingival epithelium and search for a method to prevent this disease. First, we examined clinical samples from patients diagnosed with MRONJ and healthy controls, finding that autophagy-related markers MAP1LC3/LC3 and SQSTM1/p62 synchronously increased, thus suggesting that autophagic flux was suppressed in MRONJ. Moreover, mRNA sequencing analysis and TUNEL assay showed that the process of apoptosis was upregulated in patients and animals with MRONJ, indicating autophagy and apoptosis participate in the development of MRONJ. Furthermore, the level of autophagy and apoptosis in zoledronic acid (ZA)-treated human keratinocytes cell lines (HaCaT cells) was concentration dependent <i>in vitro</i>. In addition, we also found that RAB7 (RAB7, member RAS oncogene family) activator ML098 could rescue MRONJ gingival lesions in mice by activating the autophagic flux and downregulating apoptosis. To sum up, this study demonstrated that autophagic flux is impaired in the gingival epithelium during MRONJ, and the rescued autophagic flux could prevent the occurrence of MRONJ.<b>Abbreviations:</b> ACTB: actin beta; Baf-A1: bafilomycin A<sub>1</sub>; CASP3: caspase 3; CASP8: caspase 8; CT: computed tomography; DMSO: dimethyl sulfoxide; GFP: green fluorescent protein; HaCaT cells: human keratinocytes cell lines; H&E: hematoxylin and eosin; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3; MRONJ: medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw; PARP: poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase; RAB7: RAB7, member RAS oncogene family; RFP: red fluorescent protein; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; TEM: transmission electron microscopy; ZA: zoledronic acid.</p>","PeriodicalId":8722,"journal":{"name":"Autophagy","volume":" ","pages":"2899-2911"},"PeriodicalIF":14.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10549186/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9846336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Autophagy is tightly regulated in response to nutrient availability but the underlying mechanism is not completely understood. Recently, we identified the chromatin remodeling complex INO80 (inositol-requiring mutant 80) and histone variant H2A.Z as new autophagy regulators and uncover how histone deacetylase Rpd3L (reduced potassium dependency 3 large) complex represses autophagy by deacetylating Ino80 and H2A.Z. In particular, Rpd3L complex deacetylates Ino80 at lysine 929, which protects Ino80 from being degraded by autophagy. The stabilized Ino80 then evicts H2A.Z from autophagy-related (ATG) genes, leading to their transcriptional repression. In parallel, Rpd3L complex also deacetylates H2A.Z, which further reduces its association with ATG gene promoters and repress ATG gene transcription. Under nutrient-rich conditions, Rpd3L-mediated deacetylation of Ino80 K929 and H2A.Z is enhanced by the TORC1 complex (target of rapamycin complex 1). Under nitrogen-starvation condition, TORC1 is inactivated, leading to reduced activity of Rpd3L complex and increased acetylation of Ino80 and H2A.Z, which in turn induce the transcription of ATG genes.
