Melatonin relieves hepatic lipid dysmetabolism caused by aging via modifying the secondary bile acid pattern of gut microbes.
    Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS, 2022, Sep-23, Volume: 79, Issue:10

    It has been reported that aging-generated gut microecosystem may promote host hepatic lipid dysmetabolism through shaping the pattern of secondary bile acids (BAs). Then as an oral drug, melatonin (Mel)-mediated beneficial efforts on the communication between gut microbiota and aging host are still not clearly. Here, we show that aging significantly shapes the pattern of gut microbiota and BAs, whereas Mel treatment reverses these phenotypes (Pā€‰<ā€‰0.05), which is identified to depend on the existence of gut microbiota. Mechanistically, aging-triggered high-level expression of ileac farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is significantly decreased through Mel-mediated inhibition on Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni)-induced deconjugation of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) and glycoursodeoxycholic acid (GUDCA) (Pā€‰<ā€‰0.05). The aging-induced high-level of serum taurine chenodeoxycholic acid (TCDCA) activate trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO)-triggered activating transcriptional factor 4 (ATF4) signaling via hepatic FXR, which further regulates hepatic BAs metabolism, whereas TUDCA inhibits aging-triggered high-level of hepatic ATF4. Overall, Mel reduces C. jejuni-mediated deconjugation of TUDCA to inhibit aging-triggered high-level expression of hepatic FXR, which further decreases hepatic TMAO production, to relieve hepatic lipid dysmetabolism.

ER and oxidative stresses are common mediators of apoptosis in both neurodegenerative and non-neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorders and are alleviated by chemical chaperones.
    Human molecular genetics, 2008, Feb-15, Volume: 17, Issue:4

    It is estimated that more than 40 different lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) cumulatively affect one in 5000 live births, and in the majority of the LSDs, neurodegeneration is a prominent feature. Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs), as a group, represent one of the most common (one in 12,500 births) neurodegenerative LSDs. The infantile NCL (INCL) is the most devastating neurodegenerative LSD, which is caused by inactivating mutations in the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase-1 (PPT1) gene. We previously reported that neuronal death by apoptosis in INCL, and in the PPT1-knockout (PPT1-KO) mice that mimic INCL, is at least in part caused by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and oxidative stresses. In the present study, we sought to determine whether ER and oxidative stresses are unique manifestations of INCL or they are common to both neurodegenerative and non-neurodegenerative LSDs. Unexpectedly, we found that ER and oxidative stresses are common manifestations in cells from both neurodegenerative and non-neurodegenerative LSDs. Moreover, all LSD cells studied show extraordinary sensitivity to brefeldin-A-induced apoptosis, which suggests pre-existing ER stress conditions. Further, we uncovered that chemical disruption of lysosomal homeostasis in normal cells causes ER stress, suggesting a cross-talk between the lysosomes and the ER. Most importantly, we found that chemical chaperones that alleviate ER and oxidative stresses are also cytoprotective in all forms of LSDs studied. We propose that ER and oxidative stresses are common mediators of apoptosis in both neurodegenerative and non-neurodegenerative LSDs and suggest that the beneficial effects of chemical/pharmacological chaperones are exerted, at least in part, by alleviating these stress conditions.

Cellular osmolytes reduce lens epithelial cell death and alleviate cataract formation in galactosemic rats.
    Molecular vision, 2007, Aug-10, Volume: 13

    Many cataractogenic stresses also induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in lens epithelial cells (LECs), which appears to be one of the universal inducers of cell death. In galactosemic rats, activation of ER stress results in the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR)-dependent death pathway, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and cell death. All are induced and precede cataract formation. Cellular osmolytes such as 4-phenylbutyric acid (PBA), trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), and tauroursodeoxychoric acid (TUDCA) are known to suppress the induction of ER stress. We investigated whether these small molecules prevent cataract formation in galactose-fed rat lenses.. Cultured LECs were treated with galactose and each cellular osmolyte. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a 50% galactose chow for 15 days with or without cellular osmolyte treatment. Similarly, selenite was injected subcutaneously into rats with or without cellular osmolytes. Calcein AM and ethidium homodimer-1 (EthD) were used to detect live and dead cells, respectively. The cellular osmolytes, PBA, TMAO, and TUDCA were tested for their ability to suppress LEC death and cataract formation.. Cellular osmolytes rescued cultured human LECs which were treated with the ER stressors. We administered these osmolytes either orally or by injection into galactosemic Sprague-Dawley rats. These rats had significantly reduced LEC death and partially delayed hypermature cataract formation. Since the UPR was not activated in cultured LECs treated with selenite, we used the selenite nuclear cataract as a UPR-independent death pathway control. In selenite-induced nuclear cataract in rats, cellular osmolytes did not prevent LEC death and did not alleviate cataract formation.. These results further establish that ER stress and LEC death play a vital role in certain types of cataract formation. In addition, cellular osmolytes may be potential prophylactic drugs for some types of cataracts.
