Circ-PRKCB acts as a ceRNA to regulate p66Shc-mediated oxidative stress in intestinal ischemia/reperfusion.

ABSTRACT: Background: Oxidative stress has emerged as an essential factor in the pathogenesis of intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The adaptor protein p66Shc is a key regulator of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and a mediator of I/R damage in the intestine, but the upstream mechanisms that directly regulate p66Shc expression during intestinal I/R remain largely unknown. Recent studies have suggested that noncoding RNAs, such as circular RNAs (circRNAs), are important players in physiological and pathological processes based on their versatile regulatory roles in gene expression. The aim of this study was to elucidate the contribution of p66Shc to oxidative damage in intestinal I/R and to investigate the regulation of p66Shc by circRNA sponges. Methods: Intestinal I/R was induced in mice via superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion. A miR-339-5p agomir or circ-protein kinase C beta (PRKCB) siRNA was injected intravenously before I/R challenge. In addition, Caco-2 cells were subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in vitro to simulate an in vivo I/R model. Results: In vitro, p66Shc deficiency significantly reduced H/R-induced ROS overproduction by attenuating mitochondrial superoxide anion (O2 -) levels, suppressing NADPH oxidase activity and enhancing antioxidant enzyme expression. Moreover, miR-339-5p was identified to directly regulate p66Shc expression in the intestine. Furthermore, we found that a circRNA transcribed from the PRKCB gene, named circ-PRKCB, acted as an endogenous miR-339-5p sponge to regulate p66Shc expression. circ-PRKCB silencing or miR-339-5p overexpression significantly downregulated p66Shc expression and attenuated oxidative stress levels and I/R injury in vivo and in vitro. Notably, the increased circ-PRKCB levels and decreased miR-339-5p levels associated with murine intestinal I/R were consistent with those in patients with intestinal infarction. Conclusions: Our findings reveal a crucial role for the circ-PRKCB/miR-339-5p/p66Shc signaling pathway in regulating oxidative stress in the I/R intestine. This pathway may be a potential therapeutic target for intestinal I/R injury.

Project description:Stroke and subsequent cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a frequently occurring disease that can have serious consequences in the absence of timely intervention. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) in association with microRNAs (miRNAs) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) can influence gene expression. However, whether circRNAs have a role in cerebral I/R injury pathogenesis, especially soon after onset, is unclear. In this study, we used the SD rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model of stroke to examine the role of circRNAs in cerebral I/R injury. We used high-throughput sequencing (HTS) to compare the expression levels of circRNAs in cerebral cortex tissue from MCAO rats during the occlusion-reperfusion latency period 3 hours after I/R injury with those in control cerebral cortices. Our sequencing results revealed that expression levels of 44 circRNAs were significantly altered after I/R, with 16 and 28 circRNAs showing significant up- and down-regulation, respectively, relative to levels in control cortex. We extended these results in vitro in primary cultured neuron cells exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) using qRT-PCR to show that levels of circ-camk4 were increased in OGD/R neurons relative to control neurons. Bioinformatics analyses predicted that several miRNAs could be associated with circ-camk4 and this prediction was confirmed in a RNA pull-down assay. KEGG analysis to predict pathways that involve circ-camk4 included the glutamatergic synapse pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, and apoptosis signaling pathways, all of which are known to be involved in brain injury after I/R. Our results also demonstrate that levels of the human homolog to circ-camk4 (hsa-circ-camk4) are elevated in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to OGD/R treatment. Overexpression of hsa-circ-camk4 in SH-SY5Y cells significantly increased the rate of cell death after OGD/R, suggesting that circ-camk4 may play a key role in progression of cerebral I/R injury.

Project description:BackgroundHydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced mitochondrial oxidative damage is critical to intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and PRDX3 is an efficient H2O2 scavenger that protects cells from mitochondrial oxidative damage and apoptosis. However, the function of PRDX3 in intestinal I/R injury is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the precise mechanism underlying the involvement of PRDX3 in intestinal I/R injury.MethodsAn intestinal I/R model was established in mice with superior mesenteric artery occlusion, and Caco-2?cells were subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) for the in vivo simulation of I/R.ResultsPRDX3 expression was decreased during intestinal I/R injury, and PRDX3 overexpression significantly attenuated H/R-induced mitochondrial oxidative damage and apoptosis in Caco-2?cells. The level of acetylated PRDX3 was clearly increased both in vivo and in vitro. The inhibition of SIRTs by nicotinamide (NAM) increased the level of acetylated PRDX3 and impaired the antioxidative activity of PRDX3. Furthermore, NAM did not increase the acetylation of PRDX3 in sirtuin-3 (SIRT3)-knockdown Caco-2?cells. Importantly, PRDX3 acetylation was increased in mice lacking SIRT3, and this effect was accompanied by serious mitochondrial oxidative damage, apoptosis and remote organ damage after intestinal I/R injury. We screened potential sites of PRDX3 acetylation in the previously reported acetylproteome through immunoprecipitation (IP) experiments and found that SIRT3 deacetylates K253 on PRDX3 in Caco-2?cells. Furthermore, PRDX3 with the lysine residue K253 mutated to arginine (K253R) increased its dimerization in Caco-2?cells after subjected to 12?h hypoxia and followed 4?h reoxygenation. Caco-2?cells transfected with the K253R plasmid exhibited notably less mitochondrial damage and apoptosis, and transfection of the K253Q plasmid abolished the protective effect of PRDX3 overexpression. Analysis of ischemic intestines from clinical patients further verified the correlation between SIRT3 and PRDX3.ConclusionsPRDX3 is a key protective factor for intestinal I/R injury, and SIRT3-mediated PRDX3 deacetylation can alleviate intestinal I/R-induced mitochondrial oxidative damage and apoptosis.

Project description:Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a devastating complication when the blood supply is reflowed in ischemic organs. Gastrin has critical function in regulating acid secretion, proliferation, and differentiation in the gastric mucosa. We aimed to determine whether gastrin has an effect on intestinal I/R damage. Intestinal I/R injury was induced by 60-min occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery followed by 60-min reperfusion, and the rats were induced to be hypergastrinemic by pretreated with omeprazole or directly injected with gastrin. Some hypergastrinemic rats were injected with cholecystokinin-2 (CCK-2) receptor antagonist prior to I/R operation. After the animal surgery, the intestine was collected for histological analysis. Isolated intestinal epithelial cells or crypts were harvested for RNA and protein analysis. CCK-2 receptor expression, intestinal mucosal damage, cell apoptosis, and apoptotic protein caspase-3 activity were measured. We found that high gastrin in serum significantly reduced intestinal hemorrhage, alleviated extensive epithelial disruption, decreased disintegration of lamina propria, downregulated myeloperoxidase activity, tumor necrosis factor-?, and caspase-3 activity, and lead to low mortality in response to I/R injury. On the contrary, CCK-2 receptor antagonist L365260 could markedly impair intestinal protection by gastrin on intestinal I/R. Severe edema of mucosal villi with severe intestinal crypt injury and numerous intestinal villi disintegrated were observed again in the hypergastrinemic rats with L365260. The survival in the hypergastrinemic rats after intestinal I/R injury was shortened by L365260. Finally, gastrin could remarkably upregulated intestinal CCK-2 receptor expression. Our data suggest that gastrin by omeprazole remarkably attenuated I/R induced intestinal injury by enhancing CCK-2 receptor expression and gastrin could be a potential mitigator for intestinal I/R damage in the clinical setting.
