Endoplasmic reticulum stress and the protein degradation system in ophthalmic diseases.

ABSTRACT: Objective:Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is involved in the pathogenesis of various ophthalmic diseases, and ER stress-mediated degradation systems play an important role in maintaining ER homeostasis during ER stress. The purpose of this review is to explore the potential relationship between them and to find their equilibrium sites. Design:This review illustrates the important role of reasonable regulation of the protein degradation system in ER stress-mediated ophthalmic diseases. There were 128 articles chosen for review in this study, and the keywords used for article research are ER stress, autophagy, UPS, ophthalmic disease, and ocular. Data sources:The data are from Web of Science, PubMed, with no language restrictions from inception until 2019 Jul. Results:The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy are important degradation systems in ER stress. They can restore ER homeostasis, but if ER stress cannot be relieved in time, cell death may occur. However, they are not independent of each other, and the relationship between them is complementary. Therefore, we propose that ER stability can be achieved by adjusting the balance between them. Conclusion:The degradation system of ER stress, UPS and autophagy are interrelated. Because an imbalance between the UPS and autophagy can cause cell death, regulating that balance may suppress ER stress and protect cells against pathological stress damage.

Project description:BackgroundLong QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2) is caused by mutations in the KCNH2/human ether-à-go-go-related gene (hERG). Some hERG genetic mutation-associated diseases are alleviated by hERG-specific drug chaperones (glycerol, dimethyl sulfoxide, trimethylamine N-oxide, thapsigargin), delayed rectifier K+ current (IKr) blockers methanesulfonanilide E4031, the antihistamine astemizole, or the prokinetic drug cisapride, and the anti-arrhythmic drug quinidine. Meanwhile, many in vivo and in vitro studies have reported the efficacy of 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) in diseases with inherited genetic mutations. This study aims to explore potential therapeutic agents for hERG/G572R mutated ion channel.MethodspcDNA3/hERG [wild type (WT)]-FLAG and pcDNA3/hERG (G572R)-FLAG plasmids were transfected into HEK293 cells. A western blot (WB) experiment was conducted to analyze protein expression. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to analyze the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels in the WT/G572R heterozygous HEK293 cell model treated with or without 4-PBA. The interaction between WT/G572R and BIP (GRP78), GRP94, and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase degradation protein 1 (HRD1) was tested by co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP). To investigate the effect of 4-PBA on the WT/G572R channel current, we used electrophysiological assays (patch-clamp electrophysiological recordings).ResultsThe results showed that WT/G572R activated the ATF6 pathway in the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), the ERS response markers GRP78, GRP94, and calreticulin (CRT)/calnexin (CNX), and HRD1, which decreased after application of the ERS inhibitor 4-PBA. The results of co-IP confirmed that the ability of hERG interacted with GRP78, GRP94, and HRD1. Moreover, 4-PBA increased the current of WT/G572R and reversed the gating kinetics of the WT/G572R channel.Conclusions4-PBA corrects hERG channel transport defects by inhibiting excessive ERS and the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD)-related gene E3 ubiquitin ligase HRD1. Additionally, 4-PBA improved WT/G572R channel current. 4-PBA is expected to be developed as a new treatment method for LQT2.
