Aspirin metabolite sodium salicylate selectively inhibits transcriptional activity of ATF6? and downstream target genes.

ABSTRACT: In response to ER stress, activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) traffics from ER to Golgi apparatus where it is activated by cleavage before being translocated as transcription factor to the cell nucleus. In this work we describe ATF6? as a newly target of the aspirin metabolite sodium salicylate (NaSal). NaSal treatment of cells induces increases in ATF6? mRNA and protein levels, but these events are not accompanied by ATF6 activation. Conversely, NaSal inhibited ATF6 transactivating activity elicited by various ER stress-inducing stimuli in different cell types. This resulted in reduced expression of a subset of ATF6? target genes. Mechanistically, exposure of cells to NaSal results in ATF6? trapping at the Golgi apparatus, thus preventing nuclear translocation. This study provides evidence that NaSal compound restrains the activity of ATF6?, thereby preventing activation of a specific subset of ER-stress responsive genes implicated in different cellular responses.

Project description:Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used for relieving pain and inflammation accompanying numerous disease states. The primary therapeutic mechanism of these widely used drugs is the inhibition of cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 (COX1, 2) enzymes that catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. At higher doses, NSAIDs are used for prevention of certain types of cancer and as experimental treatments for Alzheimer's disease. In the immune system, various NSAIDs have been reported to influence neutrophil function and lymphocyte proliferation, and affect ion channels and cellular calcium homeostasis. Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) cation channels are highly expressed in T lymphocytes and are inhibited by Mg2+, acidic pH, and polyamines. Here, we report a novel effect of naproxen, ibuprofen, salicylate, and acetylsalicylate on TRPM7. At concentrations of 3-30mM, they reversibly inhibited TRPM7 channel currents. By measuring intracellular pH with the ratiometric indicator BCECF, we found that at 300μM to 30mM, these NSAIDs reversibly acidified the cytoplasm in a concentration-dependent manner, and propose that TRPM7 channel inhibition is a consequence of cytosolic acidification, rather than direct. NSAID inhibition of TRPM7 channels was slow, voltage-independent, and displayed use-dependence, increasing in potency upon repeated drug applications. The extent of channel inhibition by salicylate strongly depended on cellular PI(4,5)P2 levels, as revealed when this phospholipid was depleted with voltage-sensitive lipid phosphatase (VSP). Salicylate inhibited heterologously expressed wildtype TRPM7 channels but not the S1107R variant, which is insensitive to cytosolic pH, Mg2+, and PI(4,5)P2 depletion. NSAID-induced acidification was also observed in Schneider 2 cells from Drosophila, an organism that lacks orthologous COX genes, suggesting that this effect is unrelated to COX enzyme activity. A 24-h exposure to 300μM-10mM naproxen resulted in a concentration-dependent reduction in cell viability. In addition to TRPM7, the described NSAID effect would be expected to apply to other ion channels and transporters sensitive to intracellular pH.
