Gasotransmitter CO Attenuates Bleomycin-Induced Fibroblast Senescence via Induction of Stress Granule Formation.

ABSTRACT: Cellular senescence is recognized as a phenomenon wherein a proliferative cell undergoes a permanent growth arrest. The accumulation of senescent cells over time can become harmful and result in diseases and physiological decline. Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) is considered as a critical marker and mediator of cellular senescence. The formation of stress granules (SGs) could prevent senescence through the sequestration of PAI-1, and we previously suggested that exogenous carbon monoxide (CO) could induce SG assembly via integrated stress response (ISR). Although CO is known to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and antiapoptotic properties, whether it exerts antisenescent effect is still not well defined. Here, to address whether CO-induced SGs could protect against cellular senescence, we first treated lung fibroblasts with bleomycin (BLM) to establish DNA damage-induced cellular senescence, and observed a significant increase of several hallmarks of senescence through SA-β-gal staining, immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR, and Western blot assay. However, pre- and posttreatment of CO could remarkably attenuate these senescent phenotypes. According to our immunofluorescence results, CO-induced SGs could inhibit BLM-induced cellular senescence via sequestration of PAI-1, while it was abolished after the cotreatment of ISR inhibitor (ISRIB) due to the inhibition of SG assembly. Overall, our results proposed a novel role of CO in suppressing bleomycin-induced lung fibroblast senescence through the assembly of SGs.

Project description:BackgroundSepsis is the leading cause of death in intensive care units. Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction, one of the most serious complications of sepsis, is associated with higher mortality rates. As the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy has not been fully elucidated, there is no specific therapeutic approach. Stress granules (SG) are cytoplasmic membrane-less compartments that form in response to cellular stress and play important roles in various cell signaling pathways. The role of SG in sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction has not been determined. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effects of SG activation in septic cardiomyocytes (CMs).MethodsNeonatal CMs were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). SG activation was visualized by immunofluorescence staining to detect the co-localization of GTPase-activating protein SH3 domain binding protein 1 (G3BP1) and T cell-restricted intracellular antigen 1 (TIA-1). Eukaryotic translation initiation factor alpha (eIF2α) phosphorylation, an indicator of SG formation, was assessed by western blotting. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) production was assessed by PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. CMs function was evaluated by intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in response to dobutamine. Pharmacological inhibition (ISRIB), a G3BP1 CRISPR activation plasmid, and a G3BP1 KO plasmid were employed to modulate SG activation. The fluorescence intensity of JC-1 was used to evaluate mitochondrial membrane potential.ResultsLPS challenge in CMs induced SG activation and resulted in eIF2α phosphorylation, increased TNF-α production, and decreased intracellular cAMP in response to dobutamine. The pharmacological inhibition of SG (ISRIB) increased TNF-α expression and decreased intracellular cAMP levels in CMs treated with LPS. The overexpression of G3BP1 increased SG activation, attenuated the LPS-induced increase in TNF-α expression, and improved CMs contractility (as evidenced by increased intracellular cAMP). Furthermore, SG prevented LPS-induced mitochondrial membrane potential dissipation in CMs.ConclusionSG formation plays a protective role in CMs function in sepsis and is a candidate therapeutic target.
