    Abstract Ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury is a cardinal pathophysiological hallmark of ischemic heart disease (IHD). Despite significant advances in the understanding of what causes I-R injury and hypoxia-reoxygenation (H-R) stress, viable molecular strategies that could be targeted for the treatment of the deleterious biochemical pathways activated during I-R remain elusive. The master hypoxamiR, microRNA-210 (miR-210), is a major determinant of protective cellular adaptation to hypoxia stress but exacerbates apoptotic cell death during cellular reoxygenation. While the hypoxia-induced transcriptional up-regulation of miR-210 is well delineated, the cellular mechanisms and molecular entities that regulate the transcriptional induction of miR-210 during the cellular reoxygenation phase have not been elucidated yet. Herein, in immortalized AC-16 cardiomyocytes, we delineated the indispensable role of the ubiquitously expressed transcription factor, NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) in H-R-induced miR-210 expression during cellular reoxygenation. Using dominant negative and dominant active expression vectors encoding kinases to competitively inhibit NF-κB activation, we elucidated NF-κB activation as a significant mediator of H-R-induced miR-210 expression. Ensuing molecular assays revealed a direct NF-κB-mediated transcriptional up-regulation of miR-210 expression in response to the H-R challenge that is characterized by the NF-κB-mediated reorchestration of the entire repertoire of histone modification changes that are a signatory of a permissive actively transcribed miR-210 promoter. Our study confers a novel insight identifying NF-κB as a potential novel molecular target to combat H-R-elicited miR-210 expression that fosters augmented cardiomyocyte cell death.

    Abstract Background: NF-κB is a ubiquitous transcription factor that was discovered three decades ago. Since its discovery, this protein complex has been implicated in numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes such as synaptic plasticity, learning and memory, inflammation, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress among other factors that are intricately involved and dysregulated in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
    Methods: We embarked on a methodical and an objective review of contemporary literature to integrate the indispensable physiological functions of NF-κB in neuronal phsyiology with the undesirable pathophysiological attributes of NF-κB in the etiopathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. In our approach, we first introduced Alzheimer's disease and subsequently highlighted the multifaceted roles of NF-κB in the biological processes altered in the progression of Alzheimer's disease including synaptic transmission, synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory, neuronal survival and apoptosis, adult neurogenesis, regulation of neural processes and structural plasticity, inflammation, and Amyloid-β production and toxicity.
    Results: Our comprehensive review highlights and dissects the physiological role of NF-κB from its pathological role in the brain and delineates both, its beneficial as well as deleterious, role in the etiopathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.
    Conclusion: In light of our understanding of the duality of the role of NF-κB in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, further studies are warranted to dissect and understand the basis of the dichotomous effects of NF-κB, so that certain selective benevolent and benign attributes of NF-κB can be spared while targeting its deleterious attributes and facets that are integral in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

    Abstract Apoptotic cell death of cardiomyocytes is a characteristic hallmark of ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. The master hypoxamiR , microRNA-210 (miR-210), is considered the primary driver of the cellular response to hypoxic stress. However, to date, no consensus has emerged with regards to the polarity of the miR-210-elicited cellular response, as miR-210 has been shown to exacerbate as well as attenuate hypoxia-driven apoptotic cell death. Herein, in AC-16 cardiomyocytes subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation (H-R) stress, we unravel novel facets of miR-210 biology and resolve the biological response mediated by miR-210 into the hypoxia and reoxygenation temporal components. Using transient overexpression and decoy/inhibition vectors to modulate miR-210 expression, we elucidated a Janus role miR-210 in the cellular response to H-R stress, wherein miR-210 mitigated the hypoxia-induced apoptotic cell death but exacerbated apoptotic cell death during cellular reoxygenation. We further delineated the underlying cellular mechanisms that confer this diametrically opposite effect of miR-210 on apoptotic cell death. Our exhaustive biochemical assays cogently demonstrate that miR-210 attenuates the hypoxia-driven intrinsic apoptosis pathway, while significantly augmenting the reoxygenation-induced caspase-8-mediated extrinsic apoptosis pathway. Our study is the first to unveil this Janus role of miR-210 and to substantiate the cellular mechanisms that underlie this functional duality.

    Abstract Following myocardial infarction, reperfusion injury (RI) is commonly observed due to the excessive formation of, e.g., reactive oxygen species (ROS). Doxorubicin (DOX), a widely used anti-cancer drug, is also known to cause cardiotoxicity due to excessive ROS production. Exercise training has been shown to protect the heart against both RI- and DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, but the exact mechanism is still unknown. Neuron-derived orphan receptor 1 (NOR-1) is an important exercise-responsive protein in the skeletal muscle which has also been reported to facilitate cellular survival during hypoxia. Therefore, we hypothesized that NOR-1 could protect cardiomyocytes (CMs) against cellular stress induced by DOX. We also hypothesized that NOR-1 is involved in preparing the CMs against a stress situation during nonstimulated conditions by increasing cell viability. To determine the protective effect of NOR-1 in CMs stressed with DOX challenge, we overexpressed NOR-1 in AC16 human CMs treated with 5 µM DOX for 12 h or the respective vehicle control, followed by performing Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), and caspase-3 activity assays to measure cell death, cell viability, and apoptosis, respectively. In addition, Western blotting analysis was performed to determine the expression of key proteins involved in cardioprotection. We demonstrated that NOR-1 overexpression decreased cell death (

    Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most diagnosed cancer in the western world, affecting 1 out of approximately 22 people in their lifetime. Several epidemiological studies suggest a positive association between high plasma cholesterol levels and colorectal cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms by which cholesterol may alter the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) are ill-defined as the cholesterol lowering drugs statins do not appear to decrease a patient's risk of developing colorectal cancer. Cholesterol is metabolized to active derivatives including cholesterol oxidization products (COP), known as oxysterols, which have been shown to alter cellular proliferation. These metabolites and not cholesterol per se, may therefore affect the risk of developing colorectal cancer. The cholesterol metabolite or the oxysterol 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-OHC) is the most abundant oxysterol in the plasma and has been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of several cancers including breast and prostate cancer. However, the role of 27-OHC in colorectal cancer has not been investigated. We treated Caco2 and SW620, two well characterized colon cancer cells with low, physiological and high concentrations of 27-OHC, and found that 27-OHC reduces cellular proliferation in these cells. We also found that the effects of 27-OHC on cell proliferation are not due to cellular cytotoxicity or apoptotic cellular death. Additionally, 27-OHC-induced reduction in cell proliferation is independent of actions on its target nuclear receptors, liver-X-receptors (LXR) and estrogen receptors (ER) activation. Instead, our study demonstrates that 27-OHC significantly decreases AKT activation, a major protein kinase involved in the pathogenesis of cancer as it regulates cell cycle progression, protein synthesis, and cellular survival. Our data shows that treatment with 27-OHC substantially decreases the activation of AKT by reducing levels of its active form, p-AKT, in Caco2 cells but not SW620 cells. All-together, our results show for the first time that the cholesterol metabolite 27-OHC reduces cell proliferation in colorectal cancer cells.

We did not detect any significant changes in phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt), glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) or expression levels of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and ...
