Sestrin2 protects dendritic cells against endoplasmic reticulum stress-related apoptosis induced by high mobility group box-1 protein.

ABSTRACT: Sestrin2 (SESN2) is a highly evolutionary conserved protein and involved in different cellular responses to various stresses. However, the potential function of SESN2 in immune system remains unclear. The present study was designed to test whether dendritic cells (DCs) could express SESN2, and investigate the underlying molecular mechanism as well as its potential significance. Herein, we firstly reported that SESN2 was expressed in DCs after high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) stimulation and the apoptosis of DCs was obviously increased when SESN2 gene silenced by siRNA. Cells undergone SESN2-knockdown promoted endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (ERS)-related cell death, markedly exacerbated ER disruption as well as the formation of dilated and aggregated structures, and they significantly aggravated the extent of ERS response. Conversely, overexpressing SESN2 DCs markedly decreased apoptotic rates and attenuated HMGB1-induced ER morphology fragment together with inhibition of ERS-related protein translation. Furthermore, sesn2-/--deficient mice manifested increased DC apoptosis and aggravated ERS extent in septic model. These results indicate that SESN2 appears to be a potential regulator to inhibit apoptotic ERS signaling that exerts a protective effect on apoptosis of DCs in the setting of septic challenge.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to explore the effect of exogenous hydrogen sulphide (H2S) on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (ERS) in a rat model of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. A total of 48 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=12/group) as follows: Sham, I/R, I/R preceded by NaHS (I/R-NaHS) and I/R preceded by L-C-propargylglycine (PAG), a H2S inhibitor (I/R-PAG). With the exception of the sham group, the rats in the other groups were subjected to 30 min hepatic warm ischemia followed by reperfusion for 6 or 12 h. Hepatic function was evaluated by serum concentrations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Apoptosis of hepatic cells was assessed by TUNEL staining and measurement of caspase-12 expression. The expression levels of ERS-associated proteins and mRNAs of pancreatic ER eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2a kinase (PERK), activating transcription factor-6 (ATF6), glucose-regulated protein (GRP) 78, TNF-receptor-associated factor (TRAF)-2, C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and caspase-12 were also measured by western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The serum concentrations of ALT in the I/R and I/R-PAG groups were found to be significantly higher compared with those in the sham and I/R-NaHS groups after 6 h of reperfusion; in addition, the ALT level returned to normal in the I/R group, while it increased further in the I/R-PAG group after 12 h of reperfusion. A higher cell apoptosis rate was observed in the I/R and I/R-PAG groups and the highest cell apoptosis rate was observed in the I/R-PAG group; correspondingly, the expression of caspase-12 was increased in the I/R and I/R-PAG groups. H2S appeared to significantly attenuate hepatic I/R-induced ERS response, as indicated by the decreased expression of ATF6, PERK, GRP78, TRAF2 and CHOP. Endogenous H2S may serve a hepatoprotective function after I/R, and inhibition of endogenous H2S results in aggravation of I/R damage. Exogenous H2S was shown to inhibit ERS-related gene expression, leading to suppression of inflammatory reaction and improvement of I/R damage. Therefore, exogenous H2S has therapeutic potential to alleviate hepatic I/R injury.
