    Abstract The chaperome constitutes a broad family of molecular chaperones and co-chaperones that facilitate the folding, refolding, and degradation of the proteome. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) promotes the folding of numerous oncoproteins to aid survival of malignant phenotypes, and small molecule inhibitors of the Hsp90 chaperone complex offer a viable approach to treat certain cancers. One therapeutic attribute of this approach is the selectivity of these molecules to target high affinity oncogenic Hsp90 complexes present in tumor cells, which are absent in nontransformed cells. This selectivity has given rise to the idea that disease may contribute to forming a stress chaperome that is functionally distinct in its ability to interact with small molecule Hsp90 modulators. Consistent with this premise, modulating Hsp90 improves clinically relevant endpoints of diabetic peripheral neuropathy but has little impact in nondiabetic nerve. The concept of targeting the "diabetic chaperome" to treat diabetes and its complications is discussed.

    Abstract KU-32 (2) and KU-596 (3), are first and second generation cytoprotective novologues that are derivatives of novobiocin (1), a heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) C-terminal inhibitor. Although 2 and 3 improve mitochondrial bioenergetics and have demonstrated considerable cytoprotective activity, they contain a synthetically demanding noviose sugar. This issue was initially addressed by creating noviomimetics, such as KU-1202 (4), which replaced the noviose sugar with ether-linked cyclohexyl derivatives that retained some cytoprotective potential due to their ability to increase mitochondrial bioenergetics. Based on structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of KU-1202 (4), the current study investigated 3'- and 4'-substituted cyclohexyl scaffolds as noviomimetics and determined their efficacy at increasing mitochondrial bioenergetic as a marker for cytoprotective potential.

    Abstract Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a complication of diabetes whose pathophysiology is linked to altered mitochondrial bioenergetics (mtBE). KU-596 is a small molecule neurotherapeutic that reverses symptoms of DPN, improves sensory neuron mtBE, and decreases the pro-oxidant protein, thioredoxin-interacting protein (Txnip) in a heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70)-dependent manner. However, the mechanism by which KU-596 improves mtBE and the role of Txnip in drug efficacy remains unknown. Mitophagy is a quality-control mechanism that selectively targets damaged mitochondria for degradation. The goal of this study was to determine if KU-596 therapy improved DPN, mtBE, and mitophagy in an Hsp70- and Txnip-dependent manner. Mito-QC (MQC) mice express a mitochondrially targeted mCherry-GFP fusion protein that enables visualizing mitophagy. Diabetic MQC, MQC × Hsp70 knockout (KO), and MQC × Txnip KO mice developed sensory and nerve conduction dysfunctions consistent with the onset of DPN. KU-596 therapy improved these measures, and this was dependent on Hsp70 but not Txnip. In MQC mice, diabetes decreased mtBE and increased mitophagy and KU-596 treatment reversed these effects. In contrast, KU-596 was unable to improve mtBE and decrease mitophagy in MQC × Hsp70 and MQC × Txnip KO mice. These data suggest that Txnip is not necessary for the development of the sensory symptoms and mitochondrial dysfunction induced by diabetes. KU-596 therapy may improve mitochondrial tolerance to diabetic stress to decrease mitophagic clearance in an Hsp70- and Txnip-dependent manner.

    Abstract Charcot-Marie-Tooth X1 (CMTX1) disease is an inherited peripheral neuropathy that arises from loss-of-function mutations in the protein connexin 32 (Cx32). CMTX1 currently lacks a pharmacologic approach toward disease management, and we have previously shown that modulating the expression of molecular chaperones using novologue therapy may provide a viable disease-modifying approach to treat metabolic and demyelinating neuropathies. Cemdomespib is an orally bioavailable novologue that manifests neuroprotective activity by modulating the expression of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70). We examined if 1 to 5 months of daily cemdomespib therapy may improve neuropathic symptoms in three mouse models of CMTX1 (Cx32 deficient (Cx32def), T55I-Cx32def, and R75W-Cx32 mice). Daily drug therapy significantly improved motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) and grip strength in all three models, but the compound muscle action potential was only improved in Cx32def mice. Drug efficacy required Hsp70 as improvements in MNCV, and the grip strength was abrogated in Cx32def × Hsp70 knockout mice. Five months of novologue therapy was associated with improved neuromuscular junction morphology, femoral motor nerve myelination, reduction in foamy macrophages, and a decrease in Schwann cell c-jun levels. To determine if c-jun may be downstream of Hsp70 and necessary for drug efficacy, c-jun expression was specifically deleted in Schwann cells of Cx32def mice. While the deletion of c-jun worsened the neuropathy, cemdomespib therapy remained effective in improving MNCV and grip strength. Our data show that cemdomespib therapy improves CMTX1-linked neuropathy in an Hsp70-dependent but a c-jun-independent manner and without regard to the nature of the underlying Cx32 mutation.

    Abstract KU-596 is a second-generation C-terminal heat shock protein 90 KDa (Hsp90) modulator based on the natural product, novobiocin. KU-596 has been shown to induce Hsp70 levels and manifest neuroprotective activity through induction of the heat shock response. A ring-constrained analog of KU-596 was designed and synthesized to probe its binding orientation and ability to induce Hsp70 levels. Compound 2 was found to exhibit comparable or increased activity compared to KU-596, which is under clinical investigation for the treatment of neuropathy.

    Abstract Neuronal mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are key pathophysiologic mechanisms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). KU-596 is a small molecule modulator of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) that can reverse clinically relevant measures of DPN in diabetic animal models. Mechanistically, drug efficacy requires Hsp70 and correlates with improving mitochondrial maximal respiratory capacity (MRC) and decreasing oxidative stress in diabetic sensory neurons. The goal of this study was to determine if ex vivo treatment of diabetic neurons with KU-596 improves MRC by decreasing glucose-induced oxidative stress in an Hsp70-dependent manner. Sensory neurons were isolated from non-diabetic or diabetic mice wild type (WT) or Hsp70 knockout (Hsp70 KO) mice and treated with KU-596 in the presence of low or high glucose concentrations. In diabetic WT and Hsp70 KO neurons, hyperglycemia significantly increased superoxide levels, but KU-596 only decreased superoxide in WT neurons. Similarly, KU-596 significantly improved MRC in diabetic WT neurons maintained in high glucose but did not improve MRC in diabetic Hsp70 KO neurons under the same conditions. Since manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is the main mechanism to detoxify mitochondrial superoxide radicals, the cause and effect relationship between improved respiration and decreased oxidative stress was examined after knocking down MnSOD. Downregulating MnSOD in diabetic WT neurons increased hyperglycemia-induced superoxide levels, which was still significantly decreased by KU-596. However, KU-596 did not improve MRC following MnSOD knockdown. These data suggest that the ability of KU-596 to improve MRC is not necessarily dependent on decreasing mitochondrial superoxide in a MnSOD-dependent manner.

    Abstract Background: Aberrant neuron/glia interactions can contribute to a variety of neurodegenerative diseases and we have previously demonstrated that enhanced activation of Erb B2, which is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family, can contribute to the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). In peripheral nerves, Erb B receptors are activated by various members of the neuregulin-1 (NRG1) family including NRG1 Type I, NRG1 Type II and NRG1 Type III to regulate Schwann cell (SC) growth, migration, differentiation and dedifferentiation. Alternatively, Erb B2 activity can be negatively regulated by association with the Erb B2-interacting protein, erbin. Since the effect of diabetes on the expression of NRG1 isoforms and erbin in peripheral nerve are unknown, the current study determined whether changes in NRG1 isoforms and erbin may be associated with altered Erb B2 signaling in DPN.
    Results: Swiss Webster mice were rendered diabetic with streptozotocin (STZ) and after 12 weeks of diabetes, treated with erlotinib, an inhibitor of Erb B2 activation. Inhibition of Erb B2 signaling partially reversed several pathophysiologic aspects of DPN including a pronounced sensory hypoalgesia, nerve conduction velocity deficits and the decrease in epidermal nerve fiber innervation. We also observed a decrease of NRG1 Type III but an increase of NRG1 Type I level in diabetic sural nerves at early stage of diabetes. With disease progression, we detected reduced erbin expression and enhanced MAPK pathway activity in diabetic mice. Inhibition of Erb B2 receptor suppressed MAPK pathway activity in treated-diabetic sural nerves.
    Conclusions: These results support that hyperglycemia may impair NRG1/Erb B2 signaling by disrupting the balance between NRG1 isoforms, decreasing the expression of erbin and correspondingly activating the MAPK pathway. Together, imbalanced NRG1 isoforms and downregulated erbin may contribute to the dysregulation of Erb B2 signaling in the development of DPN.

    Abstract Increased expression of the c-jun transcription factor occurs in a variety of human neuropathies and is critical in promoting Schwann cell (SC) dedifferentiation and loss of the myelinated phenotype. Using cell culture models, we previously identified KU-32 as a novobiocin-based C-terminal heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor that decreased c-jun expression and the extent of demyelination. Additional chemical optimization has yielded KU-596 as a neuroprotective novologue whose mechanistic efficacy to improve a metabolic neuropathy requires the expression of Hsp70. The current study examined whether KU-596 therapy could decrease c-jun expression and improve motor function in an inducible transgenic model of a SC-specific demyelinating neuropathy (MPZ-Raf mice). Treating MPZ-Raf mice with tamoxifen activates the MAPK kinase pathway, increases c-jun expression and produces a profound demyelinating neuropathy characterized by a loss of motor function and paraparesis. KU-596 therapy did not interfere with MAPK activation but reduced c-jun expression, significantly improved motor performance, and ameliorated the extent of peripheral nerve demyelination in both prevention and intervention studies. Hsp70 was necessary for the drug's neuroprotective efficacy since MPZ-Raf × Hsp70 knockout mice did not respond to KU-596 therapy. Collectively, our data indicate that modulating Hsp70 may provide a novel therapeutic approach to attenuate SC c-jun expression and ameliorate the onset of certain demyelinating neuropathies in humans.

    Abstract Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a molecular chaperone that is up-regulated in cancer and is required for the folding of numerous signaling proteins. Consequently, HSP90 represents an ideal target for the development of new anti-cancer agents. The human HSP90 isoform, glucose-regulated protein 94 (GRP94), resides in the endoplasmic reticulum and regulates secretory pathways, integrins, and Toll-like receptors, which contribute to regulating immunity and metastasis. However, the cellular function of GRP94 remains underinvestigated. We report that GRP94 knockdown cells are defective in intracellular transport and, consequently, negatively impact the trafficking of F-actin toward the cellular cortex, integrin α2 and integrin αL toward the cell membrane and filopodia, and secretory vesicles containing the HSP90α-AHA1-survivin complex toward the leading edge. As a result, GRP94 knockdown cells form a multipolar spindle instead of bipolar morphology and consequently manifest a defect in cell migration and adhesion.

    Abstract Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes that is associated with axonal atrophy, demyelination, blunted regenerative potential, and loss of peripheral nerve fibers. The development and progression of DPN is due in large part to hyperglycemia but is also affected by insulin deficiency and dyslipidemia. Although numerous biochemical mechanisms contribute to DPN, increased oxidative/nitrosative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction seem intimately associated with nerve dysfunction and diminished regenerative capacity. Despite advances in understanding the etiology of DPN, few approved therapies exist for the pharmacological management of painful or insensate DPN. Therefore, identifying novel therapeutic strategies remains paramount. Because DPN does not develop with either temporal or biochemical uniformity, its therapeutic management may benefit from a multifaceted approach that inhibits pathogenic mechanisms, manages inflammation, and increases cytoprotective responses. Finally, exercise has long been recognized as a part of the therapeutic management of diabetes, and exercise can delay and/or prevent the development of painful DPN. This review presents an overview of existing therapies that target both causal and symptomatic features of DPN and discusses the role of up-regulating cytoprotective pathways via modulating molecular chaperones. Overall, it may be unrealistic to expect that a single pharmacologic entity will suffice to ameliorate the multiple symptoms of human DPN. Thus, combinatorial therapies that target causal mechanisms and enhance endogenous reparative capacity may enhance nerve function and improve regeneration in DPN if they converge to decrease oxidative stress, improve mitochondrial bioenergetics, and increase response to trophic factors.
