    Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest of all cancer types with a constant rise in global incidence. Therefore, better understanding of PDAC biology, in order to design more efficient diagnostic and treatment modalities, is a priority. Here we found that the expression levels of cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), a transsulfuration enzyme, is markedly elevated in metastatic PDAC cells compared to cell lines isolated from non-metastatic primary tumors. On human immunohistochemical samples from PDAC patients we also found higher CBS staining in cancerous ductal cells compared to in non-tumor tissue, which was further elevated in the lymph node metastasis of the same patients. In mice, orthotopically injected CBS-silenced T3M4 cells induced fewer liver metastases compared to control cells indicating important roles for CBS in PDAC cancer cell invasion and malignant transformation. Wound healing and colony formation assays in cell culture confirmed that CBS-deficient metastatic T3M4 and non-metastatic BxPC3 primary tumor cells migrate slower and have impaired anchorage-independent growth capacities compared to control T3M4 cells. CBS silencing in T3M4 cells lowered WNT5a and SNAI1 gene expression down to levels that were observed in BxPC3 cells as well as resulted in an increase in E-cadherin and a decrease in Vimentin signals in mouse tumors when injected orthotopically. These observations suggested a primary role for the epithelial to mesenchymal transformation of cancer cells in CBS-mediated tumor aggressiveness. Under normal conditions, STAT3, an upstream regulator of Wnt signaling pathways, was less phosphorylated and more oxidized in shCBS T3M4 and BxPC3 compared to control T3M4 cells, which is consistent with decreased transcriptional activity at lower CBS levels due to less protection against oxidation. Sulfur metabolome analyses suggested that this CBS-mediated protection against oxidative modifications is likely to be related to persulfide/sulfide producing activities of the enzyme rather than its canonical function to produce cystathionine for cysteine synthesis. Taken together, CBS overexpression through regulation of the EMT plays a significant role in PDAC cancer cell invasion and metastasis.

    Abstract Molybdenum cofactor deficiency and isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency are two rare genetic disorders that are caused by impairment of the mitochondrial enzyme sulfite oxidase. Sulfite oxidase is catalyzing the terminal reaction of cellular cysteine catabolism, the oxidation of sulfite to sulfate. Absence of sulfite oxidase leads to the accumulation of sulfite, which has been identified as a cellular toxin. However, the molecular pathways leading to the production of sulfite are still not completely understood. In order to identify novel treatment options for both disorders, the understanding of cellular cysteine catabolism - and its alterations upon loss of sulfite oxidase - is of utmost importance. Here we applied a new detection method of sulfite in cellular extracts to dissect the contribution of cytosolic and mitochondrial glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) in the transformation of cysteine sulfinic acid to sulfite and pyruvate. We found that the cytosolic isoform GOT1 is primarily responsible for the production of sulfite. Moreover, loss of sulfite oxidase activity results in the accumulation of sulfite, H

    Abstract A preceding hypoxic insult can sensitize the cells or the organism to a subsequent, second insult. The aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular mechanism of this phenomenon (often termed 'two-hit' injury paradigm), in an in vitro model of hypoxia/oxidative stress injury in A549 epithelial cells, with special emphasis on the role of the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) in the process. Pre-exposure of the cells to 24 h hypoxia significantly reduced intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels, reduced mitochondrial activity and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels. However pre-exposure to hypoxia failed to induce any change in PARP-1 expression and activation, DNA single‑strand breaks or plasma membrane integrity. Pre-exposure to hypoxia markedly increased the sensitivity of the cells to subsequent oxidative stress-induced DNA damage. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induced a concentration-dependent increase in DNA breakage, PARP activation, depletion of intracellular ATP, inhibition of mitochondrial activity and two distinct parameters that quantify the breakdown of plasma membrane integrity (propidium iodide uptake or lactate dehydrogenase release). PARP-1 activation played a significant role in the H2O2-induced cell death response because PARP activation, depletion of intracellular ATP, inhibition of mitochondrial activity, and the breakdown of plasma membrane integrity were attenuated in cells with permanently silenced PARP-1. Based on measurement of the endogenous antioxidant GSH, we hypothesized that the mechanism of hypoxia-mediated enhancement of H2O2 involves depletion of the GSH during the hypoxic period, which renders the cells more sensitive to a subsequent DNA single‑strand break elicited by H2O2. DNA strand breakage then activates PARP-1, leading to the inhibition of mitochondrial function, depletion of ATP and cell necrosis. PARP-1 deficiency protects against the cytotoxicity, to a lesser degree, by protecting against GSH depletion during the hypoxic period, and, to a larger degree, by maintaining mitochondrial function and preserving intracellular ATP levels during the subsequent oxidative stress period.

    Methods: Gene expression analysis, histological evaluation, determination of serum levels of renal injury-biomarkers were used to characterize the BDL-induced organ injury; laser speckle analysis to measure microcirculation in the kidneys.
    Key results: We found that liver injury triggered marked inflammation and oxidative stress in the kidneys of BDL-operated mice. We detected pronounced histopathological alterations with tubular injury paralleled with increased inflammation, oxidative/nitrative stress and fibrotic remodeling both in hepatic and renal tissues as well as endothelial activation and markedly impaired renal microcirculation. This was accompanied by increased CB
    Conclusions: Our results suggest that oxidative stress, inflammation and microvascular dysfunction are key events in the pathogenesis of BDL-associated renal failure. Furthermore, we demonstrate that targeting the CB

    Abstract Background and aims: Hepatic cardiomyopathy, a special type of heart failure, develops in up to 50% of patients with cirrhosis and is a major determinant of survival. However, there is no reliable model of hepatic cardiomyopathy in mice. We aimed to characterize the detailed hemodynamics of mice with bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced liver fibrosis, by monitoring echocardiography and intracardiac pressure-volume relationships and myocardial structural alterations. Treatment of mice with a selective cannabinoid-2 receptor (CB
    Approach and results: BDL induced massive inflammation (increased leukocyte infiltration, inflammatory cytokines, and chemokines), oxidative stress, microvascular dysfunction, and fibrosis in the liver. These pathological changes were accompanied by impaired diastolic, systolic, and macrovascular functions; cardiac inflammation (increased macrophage inflammatory protein 1, interleukin-1, P-selectin, cluster of differentiation 45-positive cells); and oxidative stress (increased malondialdehyde, 3-nitrotyrosine, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidases). CB
    Conclusions: We propose BDL-induced cardiomyopathy in mice as a model for hepatic/cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. This cardiomyopathy, similar to cirrhotic cardiomyopathy in humans, is characterized by systemic hypotension and impaired macrovascular and microvascular function accompanied by both systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Our results indicate that the liver-heart inflammatory axis has a pivotal pathophysiological role in the development of hepatic cardiomyopathy. Thus, controlling liver and/or myocardial inflammation (e.g., with selective CB

    Abstract Basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast tumors with poor prognosis and limited molecular-targeted therapy options. We show that BLBC cells have a high Cys demand and reprogrammed Cys metabolism. Patient-derived BLBC tumors from four different cohorts exhibited elevated expression of the transsulfuration enzyme cystathione β-synthetase (CBS). CBS silencing (shCBS) made BLBC cells less invasive, proliferate slower, more vulnerable to oxidative stress and cystine (CySSCy) deprivation, prone to ferroptosis, and less responsive to HIF1-α activation under hypoxia. shCBS xenograft tumors grew slower than controls and exhibited impaired angiogenesis and larger necrotic areas. Sulfur metabolite profiling suggested that realigned sulfide/persulfide-inducing functions of CBS are important in BLBC tumor progression. Supporting this, the exclusion of serine, a substrate of CBS for producing Cys but not for producing sulfide/persulfide, did not exacerbate CySSCy deprivation-induced ferroptosis in shCBS BLBC cells. Impaired Tyr phosphorylation was detected in shCBS cells and xenografts, likely due to persulfidation-inhibited phosphatase functions. Overexpression of cystathione γ-lyase (CSE), which can also contribute to cellular sulfide/persulfide production, compensated for the loss of CBS activities, and treatment of shCBS xenografts with a CSE inhibitor further blocked tumor growth. Glutathione and protein-Cys levels were not diminished in shCBS cells or xenografts, but levels of Cys persulfidation and the persulfide-catabolizing enzyme ETHE1 were suppressed. Finally, expression of enzymes of the oxidizing Cys catabolism pathway was diminished, but expression of the persulfide-producing CARS2 was elevated in human BLBC tumors. Hence, the persulfide-producing pathways are major targetable determinants of BLBC pathology that could be therapeutically exploited.

    Abstract It is well established that exposure of mammalian cells to hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) suppresses mitochondrial function by inhibiting cytochrome-c oxidase (CcOX; complex IV). However, recent experimental data show that administration of H(2)S to mammalian cells can serve as an electron donor and inorganic source of energy. The aim of our study was to investigate the role of endogenously produced H(2)S in the regulation of mitochondrial electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation in isolated liver mitochondria and in the cultured murine hepatoma cell line Hepa1c1c7. Low concentrations of H(2)S (0.1-1 μM) elicited a significant increase in mitochondrial function, while higher concentrations of H(2)S (3-30 μM) were inhibitory. The positive bioenergetic effect of H(2)S required a basal activity of the Krebs cycle and was most pronounced at intermediate concentrations of succinate. 3-mercaptopyruvate (3-MP), the substrate of the mitochondrial enzyme 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST) stimulated mitochondrial H(2)S production and enhanced mitochondrial electron transport and cellular bioenergetics at low concentrations (10-100 nM), while at higher concentrations, it inhibited cellular bioenergetics. SiRNA silencing of 3-MST reduced basal bioenergetic parameters and prevented the stimulating effect of 3-MP on mitochondrial bioenergetics. Silencing of sulfide quinone oxidoreductase (SQR) also reduced basal and 3-MP-stimulated bioenergetic parameters. We conclude that an endogenous intramitochondrial H(2)S-producing pathway, governed by 3-MST, complements and balances the bioenergetic role of Krebs cycle-derived electron donors. This pathway may serve a physiological role in the maintenance of mitochondrial electron transport and cellular bioenergetics.

    Abstract PURPOSE: The goal of the current studies was to elucidate the role of the principal poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase isoform, PARP1 in the regulation of cellular energetics in endothelial cells under resting conditions and during oxidative stress. METHODS: We utilized bEnd.3 endothelial cells and A549 human transformed epithelial cells. PARP1 was inhibited either by pharmacological inhibitors or by siRNA silencing. The Seahorse XF24 Extracellular Flux Analyzer was used to measure indices of mitochondrial respiration (oxygen consumption rate) and of glycolysis (extracellular acidification rate). Cell viability, cellular and mitochondrial NAD⁺ levels and mitochondrial biogenesis were also measured. RESULTS: Silencing of PARP1 increased basal cellular parameters of oxidative phosphorylation, providing direct evidence that PARP1 is a regulator of mitochondrial function in resting cells. Pharmacological inhibitors of PARP1 and siRNA silencing of PARP1 protected against the development of mitochondrial dysfunction and elevated the respiratory reserve capacity in endothelial and epithelial cells exposed to oxidative stress. The observed effects were unrelated to an effect on mitochondrial biogenesis. Isolated mitochondria of A549 human transformed epithelial cells exhibited an improved resting bioenergetic status after stable lentiviral silencing of PARP1; these effects were associated with elevated resting mitochondrial NAD⁺ levels in PARP1 silenced cells. CONCLUSIONS: PARP1 is a regulator of basal cellular energetics in resting endothelial and epithelial cells. Furthermore, endothelial cells respond with a decrease in their mitochondrial reserve capacity during low-level oxidative stress, an effect, which is attenuated by PARP1 inhibition. While PARP1 is a regulator of oxidative phosphorylation in resting and oxidatively stressed cells, it only exerts a minor effect on glycolysis.
