RESUMO
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and calcium ions (Ca2+) are functional regulators of skeletal muscle contraction and metabolism. Although H2O2 is one of the activators of the type-1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) in the Ca2+ release channel, the interdependence between H2O2 and Ca2+ dynamics remains unclear. This study tested the following hypotheses using an in vivo model of mouse tibialis anterior (TA) skeletal muscle. 1) Under resting conditions, elevated cytosolic H2O2 concentration ([H2O2]cyto) leads to a concentration-dependent increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyto) through its effect on RyR1; and 2) in hypoxia (cardiac arrest) and muscle contractions (electrical stimulation), increased [H2O2]cyto induces Ca2+ accumulation. Cytosolic H2O2 (HyPer7) and Ca2+ (Fura-2) dynamics were resolved by TA bioimaging in young C57BL/6J male mice under four conditions: 1) elevated exogenous H2O2; 2) cardiac arrest; 3) twitch (1 Hz, 60 s) contractions; and 4) tetanic (30 s) contractions. Exogenous H2O2 (0.1-100 mM) induced a concentration-dependent increase in [H2O2]cyto (+55% at 0.1 mM; +280% at 100 mM) and an increase in [Ca2+]cyto (+3% at 1.0 mM; +8% at 10 mM). This increase in [Ca2+]cyto was inhibited by pharmacological inhibition of RyR1 by dantrolene. Cardiac arrest-induced hypoxia increased [H2O2]cyto (+33%) and [Ca2+]cyto (+20%) 50 min postcardiac arrest. Compared with the exogenous 1.0 mM H2O2 condition, [H2O2]cyto after tetanic muscle contractions rose less than one-tenth as much, whereas [Ca2+]cyto was 4.7-fold higher. In conclusion, substantial increases in [H2O2]cyto levels evoke only modest Ca2+ accumulation via their effect on the sarcoplasmic reticulum RyR1. On the other hand, contrary to hypoxia secondary to cardiac arrest, increases in [H2O2]cyto from muscle contractions are small, indicating that H2O2 generation is unlikely to be a primary factor driving the significant Ca2+ accumulation after, especially tetanic, muscle contractions.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We developed an in vivo mouse myocyte H2O2 imaging model during exogenous H2O2 loading, ischemic hypoxia induced by cardiac arrest, and muscle contractions. In this study, the interrelationship between cytosolic H2O2 levels and Ca2+ homeostasis during muscle contraction and hypoxic conditions was revealed. These results contribute to the elucidation of the mechanisms of muscle fatigue and exercise adaptation.

A 77-year-old man with complaining of anemia and abdominal pain was admitted to our hospital. An abdominal computed tomography showed the sigmoid colon tumor with bowel obstruction. Laparoscopic transverse colostomy was performed to release intestinal obstruction. After first operation, he was diagnosed the sigmoid colon cancer: cT4b(bladder), cN0, cM0, and cStage â ¡c. Radical laparoscopic operation(Hartmann's operation)was performed. On the 4th postoperative day, fecal juice was discharged from the abdominal drain placed in the Douglas fossa, so emergency laparotomy was performed. The intraoperative findings showed perforation in the blind end of the descending colon. The descending colon was resected from a site approximately 5 cm anal side of the transverse colostomy to the blind end. It was thought that perforation occurred due to an increase in internal pressure in the residual intestinal tract after Hartmann's surgery without blood flow disorder. We believe that further attention is required to the management of residual intestinal tract at the blind end for the obstructive colorectal cancer.

(Macro)autophagy is a cellular degradation system for unnecessary materials, such as aggregate-prone TDP-43, a central molecule in neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Abemaciclib (Abe) and vacuolin-1 (Vac) treatments are known to induce vacuoles characterized by an autophagosome and a lysosome component, suggesting that they facilitate autophagosome-lysosome fusion. However, it remains unknown whether Abe and Vac suppress the accumulation of aggregate-prone TDP-43 by accelerating autophagic flux. In the present study, the Abe and Vac treatment dose-dependently reduced the GFP/RFP ratio in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells stably expressing the autophagic flux marker GFP-LC3-RFP-LC3ΔG. Abe and Vac also increased the omegasome marker GFP-ATG13 signal and the autophagosome marker mCherry-LC3 localized to the lysosome marker LAMP1-GFP. The Abe and Vac treatment decreased the intracellular level of the lysosome marker LAMP1-GFP in SH-SY5Y cells stably expressing LAMP1-GFP, but did not increase the levels of LAMP1-GFP, the autophagosome marker LC3-II, or the multivesicular body marker TSG101 in the extracellular vesicle-enriched fraction. Moreover, Abe and Vac treatment autophagy-dependently inhibited GFP-tagged aggregate-prone TDP-43 accumulation. The results of a PI(3)P reporter assay using the fluorescent protein tagged-2 × FYVE and LAMP1-GFP indicated that Abe and Vac increased the intensity of the PI(3)P signal on lysosomes. A treatment with the VPS34 inhibitor wortmannin (WM) suppressed Abe-/Vac-facilitated autophagic flux and the degradation of GFP-tagged aggregate-prone TDP-43. Collectively, these results suggest that Abe and Vac degrade aggregate-prone TDP-43 by accelerating autophagosome formation and autophagosome-lysosome fusion through the formation of PI(3)P.
RESUMO
Raf-1, a multifunctional kinase, regulates various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration, by phosphorylating MAPK/ERK kinase and interacting with specific kinases. Cellular Raf-1 activity is intricately regulated through pathways involving the binding of regulatory proteins, direct phosphorylation, and the ubiquitin-proteasome axis. In this study, we demonstrate that PHI-1, an endogenous inhibitor of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1), plays a pivotal role in modulating Raf-1 proteostasis within cells. Knocking down endogenous PHI-1 in HEK293 cells using siRNA resulted in increased cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis. This heightened cell proliferation was accompanied by a 15-fold increase in ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Importantly, the observed ERK1/2 hyperphosphorylation was attributable to an upregulation of Raf-1 expression, rather than an increase in Ras levels, Raf-1 Ser338 phosphorylation, or B-Raf levels. The elevated Raf-1 expression, stemming from PHI-1 knockdown, enhanced EGF-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation through MEK. Moreover, PHI-1 knockdown significantly contributed to Raf-1 protein stability without affecting Raf-1 mRNA levels. Conversely, ectopic PHI-1 expression suppressed Raf-1 protein levels in a manner that correlated with PHI-1's inhibitory potency. Inhibiting PP1 to mimic PHI-1's function using tautomycin led to a reduction in Raf-1 expression. In summary, our findings highlight that the PHI-1-PP1 signaling axis selectively governs Raf-1 proteostasis and cell survival signals.
