Forkhead box O3 protects the heart against paraquat-induced aging-associated phenotypes by upregulating the expression of antioxidant enzymes.

ABSTRACT: Paraquat (PQ) promotes cell senescence in brain tissue, which contributes to Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, PQ induces heart failure and oxidative damage, but it remains unknown whether and how PQ induces cardiac aging. Here, we demonstrate that PQ induces phenotypes associated with senescence of cardiomyocyte cell lines and results in cardiac aging-associated phenotypes including cardiac remodeling and dysfunction in vivo. Moreover, PQ inhibits the activation of Forkhead box O3 (FoxO3), an important longevity factor, both in vitro and in vivo. We found that PQ-induced senescence phenotypes, including proliferation inhibition, apoptosis, senescence-associated ?-galactosidase activity, and p16^INK4a expression, were significantly enhanced by FoxO3 deficiency in cardiomyocytes. Notably, PQ-induced cardiac remolding, apoptosis, oxidative damage, and p16^INK4a expression in hearts were exacerbated by FoxO3 deficiency. In addition, both in vitro deficiency and in vivo deficiency of FoxO3 greatly suppressed the activation of antioxidant enzymes including catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) in the presence of PQ, which was accompanied by attenuation in cardiac function. The direct in vivo binding of FoxO3 to the promoters of the Cat and Sod2 genes in the heart was verified by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Functionally, overexpression of Cat or Sod2 alleviated the PQ-induced senescence phenotypes in FoxO3-deficient cardiomyocyte cell lines. Overexpression of FoxO3 and CAT in hearts greatly suppressed the PQ-induced heart injury and phenotypes associated with aging. Collectively, these results suggest that FoxO3 protects the heart against an aging-associated decline in cardiac function in mice exposed to PQ, at least in part by upregulating the expression of antioxidant enzymes and suppressing oxidative stress.

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS:Diminished forkhead box O3 (FOXO3) function drives inflammation and cancer growth; however, mechanisms fostering these pathobiologies are unclear. Here, we aimed to identify in colon loss of FOXO3-dependent cellular and molecular changes that facilitate inflammation-mediated tumor growth. METHODS:FOXO3 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice were used in the AOM/DSS model of inflammation-mediated colon cancer. Bioinformatics were used for profiling of mRNA sequencing data from human and mouse colon and tumors; specific targets were validated in human colon cancer cells (shFOXO3). RESULTS:In mice, FOXO3 deficiency led to significantly elevated colonic tumor burden (incidence and size) compared with WT (P < .05). In FOXO3 KO colon, activated molecular pathways overlapped with those associated with mouse and human colonic inflammation and cancer, especially human colonic tumors with inflammatory microsatellite instability (false discovery rate < 0.05). FOXO3 KO colon, similar to tumors, had increased neutrophils, macrophages, B cells, T cells, and decreased natural killer cells (false discovery rate < 0.05). Moreover, in KO colon differentially expressed transcripts were linked to activation of inflammatory nuclear factor kappa B, tumorigenic cMyc, and bacterial Toll-like receptor signaling. Among differentially expressed transcripts, we validated altered expression of integrin subunit alpha 2 (ITGA2), ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 12, and ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 5 in mouse WT and FOXO3 KO colon and tumors (P < .05). Similarly, their altered expression was found in human inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer tissues and linked to poor patient survival. Ultimately, in human colon cancer cells, FOXO3 knockdown (shFOXO3) led to significantly increased ITGA2, and silencing ITGA2 (siRNA) alone diminished cell growth. CONCLUSIONS:We identified the loss of FOXO3-mediated immune landscape, pathways, and transcripts that could serve as biomarkers and new targets for inflammatory colon cancer treatment.
