Characterization of RAS/RAF/ERK signal cascade as a novel regulating factor in alpha-amanitin-induced liver injury

ABSTRACT: The well-known hepatotoxicity mechanism resulting from alpha-amanitin (-AMA) exposure arises from RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) inhibition. RNAP Ⅱ inhibition occurs through the dysregulation of mRNA synthesis. However, the signaling pathways in hepatocytes that arise from -AMA have not yet been fully elucidated. Here, we identified that the RAS/RAF/ERK signaling pathway was activated through quantitative phosphoproteomic and molecular biological analyses. Bioinformatics analysis showed that AMA exposure increased protein phosphorylation in a time-dependent AMA AMA exposure. In addition, phosphorylation increased not only the components of the ERK signaling pathway but also U2AF65 and SPF45, known splicing factors. Therefore, we propose a novel mechanism of -AMA as follows. The RAS/RAF/ERK signaling pathway involved in aberrant splicing events is activated by -AMA exposure followed by aberrant splicing events leading to cell death.

Project description:We previously put forward a multi-layer systems toxicology framework for in vitro assessment of e-liquids that is meant to complement the battery of classical assays for genotoxicity testing. The framework started with the first layer to screen e-liquids for their potential toxicity, followed by the second layer to investigate the toxicity-related mechanism of a selected e-liquid(s), and finally the third layer to evaluate the toxicity-related mechanism of the corresponding aerosol(s). In this work, we leveraged this framework to assess the biological impact of an e-liquid MESH™ “Classic Tobacco” and its aerosol in comparison with the impact of 3R4F reference cigarettes. In the first layer, we evaluated the cytotoxicity profile of the MESH Classic Tobacco liquid (containing humectants, nicotine, and flavors) and its Base liquid (containing humectant and nicotine only) in comparison with total particulate matter (TPM) of 3R4F cigarette smoke (CS). In the second layer, we explored changes in specific markers using high content screening assays to identify potential toxicity-related mechanisms of the MESH Classic Tobacco and Base liquids beyond cell viability compared with the 3R4F TPM-induced effects. In the third layer, we compared the biological impact of exposure to the MESH Classic Tobacco aerosol with CS using human organotypic buccal and small airway epithelial cultures. The results showed that the cytotoxicity profile of the MESH Classic Tobacco liquid was similar to the Base liquid but lower than the toxicity of 3R4F TPM at comparable nicotine concentrations. When compared with CS exposure, MESH Classic Tobacco aerosol exposure did not cause tissue damage and elicited lower changes in the global mRNA, global microRNA, and protein markers. The global mRNA changes following Classic Tobacco aerosol exposure indicated perturbations in processes related to cell fate, cell stress, and inflammatory response that were less than 20% of the perturbations following CS exposure. In the context of tobacco-harm reduction strategy, the framework is suitable to assess the potential reduced impact of EC aerosol relative to CS.
