ATR prevents Ca²⁺ overload-induced necrotic cell death through phosphorylation-mediated inactivation of PARP1 without DNA damage signaling.

ABSTRACT: Hyperactivation of PARP1 is known to be a major cause of necrotic cell death by depleting NAD⁺ /ATP pools during Ca²⁺ overload which is associated with many ischemic diseases. However, little is known about how PARP1 hyperactivity is regulated during calcium overload. In this study we show that ATR kinase, well known for its role in DNA damage responses, suppresses ionomycin, glutamate, or quinolinic acid-induced necrotic death of cells including SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. We found that the inhibition of necrosis requires the kinase activity of ATR. Specifically, ATR binds to and phosphorylates PARP1 at Ser179 after the ionophore treatments. This site-specific phosphorylation inactivates PARP1, inhibiting ionophore-induced necrosis. Strikingly, all of this occurs in the absence of detectable DNA damage and signaling up to 8 hours after ionophore treatment. Furthermore, little AIF was released from mitochondria/cytoplasm for nuclear import, supporting the necrotic type of cell death in the early period of the treatments. Our results reveal a novel ATR-mediated anti-necrotic mechanism in the cellular stress response to calcium influx without DNA damage signaling.

Project description:Disuse atrophy of skeletal muscle is associated with a severe imbalance in cellular Ca2+ homeostasis and marked increase in nuclear apoptosis. Nuclear Ca2+ is involved in the regulation of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis. However, it remains unclear whether nuclear Ca2+ levels change under skeletal muscle disuse conditions, and whether changes in nuclear Ca2+ levels are associated with nuclear apoptosis. In this study, changes in Ca2+ levels, Ca2+ transporters, and regulatory factors in the nucleus of hindlimb unloaded rat soleus muscle were examined to investigate the effects of disuse on nuclear Ca2+ homeostasis and apoptosis. Results showed that, after hindlimb unloading, the nuclear envelope Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]NE) and nucleocytoplasmic Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]NC) increased by 78% (p < 0.01) and 106% (p < 0.01), respectively. The levels of Ca2+-ATPase type 2 (Ca2+-ATPase2), Ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1), Inositol 1,4,5-tetrakisphosphate receptor 1 (IP3R1), Cyclic ADP ribose hydrolase (CD38) and Inositol 1,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (IP3) increased by 470% (p < 0.001), 94% (p < 0.05), 170% (p < 0.001), 640% (p < 0.001) and 12% (p < 0.05), respectively, and the levels of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 3 (NCX3), Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II) and Protein kinase A (PKA) decreased by 54% (p < 0.001), 33% (p < 0.05) and 5% (p > 0.05), respectively. In addition, DNase X is mainly localized in the myonucleus and its activity is elevated after hindlimb unloading. Overall, our results suggest that enhanced Ca2+ uptake from cytoplasm is involved in the increase in [Ca2+]NE after hindlimb unloading. Moreover, the increase in [Ca2+]NC is attributed to increased Ca2+ release into nucleocytoplasm and weakened Ca2+ uptake from nucleocytoplasm. DNase X is activated due to elevated [Ca2+]NC, leading to DNA fragmentation in myonucleus, ultimately initiating myonuclear apoptosis. Nucleocytoplasmic Ca2+ overload may contribute to the increased incidence of myonuclear apoptosis in disused skeletal muscle.

Project description:BackgroundSepsis is a systemic inflammatory response to a local severe infection that may lead to multiple organ failure and death. Previous studies have shown that 40-50% of patients with sepsis have diverse myocardial injuries and 70 to 90% mortality rates compared to 20% mortality in patients with sepsis without myocardial injury. Therefore, uncovering the mechanism of sepsis-induced myocardial injury and finding a target-based treatment are immensely important.ObjectiveThe present study elucidated the mechanism of sepsis-induced myocardial injury and examined the value of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (huMSCs) for protecting cardiac function in sepsis.MethodsWe used cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) to induce sepsis in mice and detect myocardial injury and cardiac function using serological markers and echocardiography. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis and heart tissue ultrastructure were detected using TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. Fura-2 AM was used to monitor Ca2+ uptake and efflux in mitochondria. FQ-PCR and Western blotting detected expression of mitochondrial Ca2+ distribution regulators and PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1). JC-1 was used to detect the mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) of cardiomyocytes.ResultsWe found that expression of PINK1 decreased in mouse hearts during sepsis, which caused cardiomyocyte mitochondrial Ca2+ efflux disorder, mitochondrial calcium overload, and cardiomyocyte injury. In contrast, we found that exosomes isolated from huMSCs (huMSC-exo) carried Pink1 mRNA, which could be transferred to recipient cardiomyocytes to increase PINK1 expression. The reduction in cardiomyocyte mitochondrial calcium efflux was reversed, and cardiomyocytes recovered from injury. We confirmed the effect of the PINK1-PKA-NCLX axis on mitochondrial calcium homeostasis in cardiomyocytes during sepsis.ConclusionThe PINK1-PKA-NCLX axis plays an important role in mitochondrial calcium efflux in cardiomyocytes. Therefore, PINK1 may be a therapeutic target to protect cardiomyocyte mitochondria, and the application of huMSC-exo is a promising strategy against sepsis-induced heart dysfunction.
