This, in turn, exacerbates the inflammatory process and causes significant cellular and tissue damage. Intestinal dysbiosis, a common observation in IBD patients, alters the production of bacterial metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are key by-products of dietary fiber fermentation. While the role of SCFAs in intestinal physiology is still being elucidated, this study aimed to investigate their effects on intestinal oxidative stress, particularly under inflammatory conditions induced by the proinflammatory mediator tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). The Caco-2/TC7 cell line was employed as an in vitro model of the intestinal epithelium, and the cells were treated with a range of SCFAs, including acetate, propionate, and butyrate. The levels of protein and lipid oxidation were quantified, as well as the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Our findings demonstrate that microbiota-derived SCFAs can effectively mitigate TNF-α-induced oxidative stress by modulating antioxidant enzyme activity. The proinflammatory mediator TNF-α induces lipid peroxidation by inhibiting catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities. SCFAs are able to upregulate antioxidant enzyme activity to restore lipid oxidative levels. These results underscore the critical role of the gut microbiota in maintaining intestinal homeostasis and highlight the therapeutic potential of SCFAs in managing oxidative stress-related pathologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9684,"journal":{"name":"Cell Stress & Chaperones","volume":"29 6","pages":"Pages 769-776"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142638467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The additional beta NAC gene arose at the time of the whole genome duplication that occurred in the <em>S. cerevisiae</em> lineage. Nacβ2 has been implicated in regulating the fate of messenger RNA encoding ribosomal protein Rpl4 during translation <em>via</em> its interaction with the Caf130 subunit of the regulatory CCR4-Not complex. We found that Nacβ2 residues just C-terminal to the globular domain are required for its interaction with Caf130 and its negative effect on the growth of cells lacking Acl4, the specialized chaperone for Rpl4. Substitution of these Nacβ2 residues at homologous positions in Nacβ1 results in a chimeric protein that interacts with Caf130 and slows the growth of ∆<em>acl4</em> cells lacking Nacβ2. Furthermore, alteration of residues in the N-terminus of Nacβ2 or chimeric Nacβ1 previously shown to affect ribosome binding overcomes the growth defect of ∆<em>acl4</em>.

Unlike other Protein Phosphatases, PP5 possesses both regulatory and catalytic domains, and its function is further modulated through post-translational modifications (PTMs). PP5 contains a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain, which usually inhibits its phosphatase activity by blocking the active site (closed conformation). Certain activators bind to the PP5–TPR domain, alleviating this inhibition and allowing the catalytic domain to adopt an active (open) conformation. While this mechanism has been proposed based on structural and biophysical studies, PP5 conformational changes and activity have yet to be observed in cells. Here, we designed and developed a flow cytometry-based fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FC-FRET) method, enabling real-time observation of PP5 autoinhibition and activation within live mammalian cells. By quantifying FRET efficiency using sensitized emission, we established a standardized and adaptable data acquisition workflow. Our findings revealed that, in a cellular context, PP5 exists in multiple conformational states, none of which alone fully predicts its activity. Additionally, we have demonstrated that PTMs such as phosphorylation and SUMOylation impact PP5 conformational changes, representing a significant advancement in our understanding of its regulatory mechanisms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9684,"journal":{"name":"Cell Stress & Chaperones","volume":"29 6","pages":"Pages 709-717"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142459006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the cytotoxicity was determined using the CCK8 assay, and an oxidative stress model was established. Then the antioxidative stress activity and mechanism were investigated by ELISA, flow cytometry, and Western blotting. By the CCK-8 assay, exposure to CSE (20%, 40%, and 100%) reduced the viability of BEAB-2S cells. The flow cytometry findings indicated that CSE-induced production of ROS (0.5% to maximum) and treatments with 10 μM ebeiedinone and 20 μM peimisine attenuated the production of ROS. The western blot assay results indicate that ebeiedinone and peimisine reduce CSE-induced oxidative stress, DNA damage, apoptosis, and autophagy dysregulation by inhibiting ROS, upregulating SOD and GSH/GSSG, and downregulating MDA, 4-HNE, and 8-OHdG through the NRF2/KEAP1 and JNK/MAPK-dependent pathways, thereby delaying the pathological progression of COPD caused by CS.Our data suggest that CSE causes oxidative stress, DNA damage, and apoptosis in BEAS-2B cells, as well as the progression of COPD.
