Biological Outcomes

The anterior gradient-2 (AGR2) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident protein belonging to the protein disulfide isomerase family that mediates the formation of disulfide bonds and assists the protein quality control in the ER. In addition to its role in proteostasis, extracellular AGR2 is responsible for various cellular effects in many types of cancer, including cell proliferation, survival, and metastasis. Various OMICs approaches have been used to identify AGR2 binding partners and to investigate the functions of AGR2 in the ER and outside the cell. Emerging data showed that AGR2 exists not only as monomer, but it can also form homodimeric structure and thus interact with different partners, yielding different biological outcomes. In this review, we summarize the AGR2 “interactome” and discuss the pathological and physiological role of such AGR2 interactions.

Abstract Abstract 2114 Disordered K+ efflux and osmotically induced water loss leads to red blood cell (RBC) dehydration and plays a role in the pathophysiology of Sickle Cell Disease. We previously reported that activation of endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptors in sickle erythrocyte was partially responsible for dense sickle cell formation. However, the mechanism by which ET-1 regulates RBC volume remains unclear. Serine/threonine kinases have been shown to regulate K+ transport in RBC. Casein Kinase II (CK2), a serine/threonine kinase, phosphorylates acidic proteins, regulates calmodulin activity and cytoskeletal proteins and is present in RBC. CK2 activity is blocked by apigenin, emodin, heparin, and ornithine decarboxylase. Previous reports have shown a role for flavonoids such as apigenin as substrates for erythrocyte plasma membrane oxidoreductases. We recently observed a role for Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) in regulating cellular hydration and K+ efflux in human RBC. PDI catalyzes disulfide interchange reactions in the plasma membrane, mediates redox modifications and is up-regulated under hypoxic conditions. However the relationship between CK2 and PDI in the setting of cellular hydration status is un-explored. Our results indicate that erythrocyte membrane CK2 activity increases when sickle cells are incubated with 500 nM ET-1 for 30 min (2.8 ± 0.1 to 4.9 ± 0.01 nmol/min/mL * 106 cell) an event that is blunted by pre-incubation with the ET-1 B receptor blocker, BQ788 (2.5 ± 0.1 nmol/min/mL * 106 cell, n=3, p<0.04) and 20 μM apigenin (2.7 ± 0.4 nmol/min/mL * 106 cell, n=3, p<0.04). We examined the role of CK2 activation on cellular dehydration. We incubated sickle erythrocytes for 3 hours in deoxygenation-oxygenation cycles in the presence or absence of 20μM apigenin or 2μM 4,5,6,7-tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBB), a specific CK2 inhibitor, and measured the changes in erythrocyte density by phthalate oil density analysis. We observed that inhibition of CK2 led to reduced deoxygenation-stimulated cellular dehydration in sickle erythrocytes by apigenin (D50= 1.106 to 1.100 g/mL) or TBB (D50 =1.097 g/mL). We then studied the role of CK2 inhibitors on PDI activity by Insulin Turbidity Assay and observed that apigenin and TBB led to significant reductions in PDI activity in vitro (64% and 42% respectively). We also studied the effects of the flavonoids: naringenin, naringin, apigenin and rutin on PDI activity and observed reductions in PDI activity that were greater with apigenin>rutin>TBB>naringin>naringenin (n=2, P<0.05). Furthermore, we observed that K+ flux via Gardos channel activation is correlated with PDI activity in vitro in sickle erythrocytes. Taken together our results implicate CK2 and PDI as intermediate regulators of ET-1 stimulated cellular volume systems in red blood cells. Supported by NIH R01-HL09632 to AR.

Abstract Abstract 1034 There is growing evidence for an important role of aldosterone (ALDO) in inflammatory responses in addition to its well-described effects on sodium homeostasis via activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). We studied the effects of ALDO on activation of ex vivo human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNC). We isolated untouched circulating human PMNC by immunomagnetic isolation following density gradient sedimentation with PolymorphPrep from otherwise healthy subjects. Flow cytometric analyses showed greater than 97% of PMNC were positive for myeloid-neutrophil markers, CD45, CD16 and CD66b. We show that PMNC express MR by western blot and RT-PCR analyses and when incubated with ALDO (10−9 −10−7 M) showed a dose-dependent rise in cytosolic Ca2+ that peaked within 2 min using FURA-2AM fluorescence. We then studied the effect of ALDO on PMNC degranulation following incubations with ALDO (10−9 −10−7 M) for 30 min and observed a significant increase in β–glucuronidase release (P<0.001, n=3) by established fluorescent detection methods, an event that was blocked by pre-incubation of cells with 1μM canrenoic acid (CA), an MR antagonist (P<0.04, n=3). PMA and N-Formyl-Methionyl-Leucyl-Phenylalanine (fMLP) were used as positive controls for PMNC activation. We then studied the effects of ALDO on HL-60, a human promyelocytic cell line, induced to differentiate into neutrophil-like cells by incubation for 5 days with 1.3% DMSO. We detected the presence of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), the receptor for ALDO, by western blot analyses and MR transcripts by quantitative RT-PCR using TaqMan detection probes in these cells and as reported in kidney and endothelial cells. Cells incubated with ALDO (10−8-10−7 M) showed a dose-dependent rise in cytosolic Ca2+ that peaked within 3 min using FURA-2AM fluorescence. To assess the degranulation response of these cells we quantified the in vitro release of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and observed that 10−8M ALDO was likewise associated with increased degranulation when compared to vehicle treated cells (AUC: 590±14 to 185±11, P<0.01, n=6). To characterize the mechanisms by which ALDO regulates the degranulation responses of these cells we studied the effects of Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) on ALDO-stimulated cells. PDI catalyzes the oxidation or reduction of thiol/disulfide groups and modulates leukocyte function. Our results show that blockade of PDI, by bacitracin, led to a blunted ALDO-stimulated degranulation response in both cell types. Consistent with these observations, we show that in differentiated HL-60 cells, siRNA against PDI likewise led to reduced MPO responses (AUC: 590±14 to 290±13, P<0.01, n=6) that were associated with significantly reduced PDI mRNA levels but not with scrambled siRNA as determined by quantitative RT-PCR with ABI TaqMan detection probes and GAPDH and β2 microglobulin as endogenous controls (0.55 ± 0.02, ΔΔCT of PDI siRNA relative to scrambled transfected cells, P<0.01, n=6). These results suggest that ALDO stimulates MPO release. MPO has been shown to be one of the predominant granule proteins associated with Neutrophil Extracelullar Traps (NETs), extracellular structures that contain chromatin (DNA and histones) that can also trap microorganisms. We studied the effects of ALDO following digestion of the NETs by DNAse, and observed that 30–35% of the total cellular MPO was NET-associated. We also observed that incubation with 10−8 M ALDO led to increases in the oxidative-respiratory burst [superoxide production] (P<0.01, n=3), a responses that was blocked by pre-incubation of cells with 1 uM CA (P<0.03, n=3). Consistent with these results, we observed that ALDO likewise led to significant increases in the oxidative-respiratory burst in human PMNC (P<0.01, n=3). Thus our results suggest that activation of MR by ALDO leads to degranulation and NET production in neutrophils that may contribute to the inflammatory responses associated with MR activation in vivo. Furthermore, the association between degranulation and NET release implicates PDI as a novel regulator of MPO generated NET production. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), secreted by platelets and endothelial cells upon vascular injury, is required for thrombus formation. However, the precise mechanism by which PDI regulates thrombosis remains elusive. Using PDI variants that form stable mixed disulfide complexes with their substrates, we performed kinetic trapping experiment in platelet rich plasma and identified multiple substrate proteins for PDI, including vitronectin. Importantly, when using variants of endoplasmic reticulum protein 57 (ERp57), a thiol isomerase that has a similar domain structure as PDI and is also important for thrombus formation, the trapping mutants of ERp57 do not interact with vitronectin. This result has demonstrated the substrate specificity of PDI during our kinetic trapping experiment. Further study using polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based gel mobility shift assay combined with mass spectrometry has identified the redox reaction between PDI and vitronectin occurs on two disulfide bonds Cys 137-161 and Cys 274-453 in the hemopexin-like domains of plasma vitronectin. Vitronectin, as a substrate of extracellular PDI, has been shown to be important for thrombus formation. Vitronectin null mice have reduced platelet accumulation and fibrin deposition in the cremaster arterioles following laser injury. Vitronectin null mice also have significantly prolonged large-vessel thrombosis in the carotid artery using the ferric chloride thrombosis model. Using intravital microscopy we showed that vitronectin rapidly accumulates in a growing thrombus following vessel injury. When mice are treated with eptifibatide to eliminate platelet accumulation, we still observe significant amount of vitronectin accumulation on the vessel wall in the absence of platelet thrombus. This observation was further confirmed using confocal intravital microscopy. After 3D reconstruction of a growing thrombus in mouse cremaster arteriole, vitronectin was identified to locate primarily on the CD31 stained vessel wall. These combined studies suggest that plasma-derived vitronectin and not platelet-derived vitronectin is the primary substrate of PDI. Our study further showed that the indispensable role of vitronectin to a growing thrombus depends on extracellular PDI. Native plasma vitronectin does not bind to αvβ3 or αIIbβ3-integrins on endothelial cells and platelets. On solid phase binding assay, plasma sample pre-treated with wild-type PDI showed significantly increased binding of vitronectin to its ligand αvβ3 or αIIbβ3-integrins. However, this increase was not observed in plasma pre-treated with dead-mutant PDI or ERp57. In addition, using immunofluorescent staining, PDI treated plasma sample also showed significantly increased binding of vitronectin to activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and this binding was abrogated by RGD peptides or an αvβ3 blocking antibody. The critical role of extracellular PDI for the regulation of vitronectin in a growing thrombus was further confirmed in our in vivo studies. When mice were treated with quecetin-3-rutinoside or two different inhibitory antibodies that selectively block PDI activity, the accumulation of vitronectin and platelets was significantly reduced. These combined results demonstrate that extracellular PDI regulates vitronectin in a growing thrombus to promote platelet accumulation and fibrin generation. In summary, our studies have revealed a novel regulatory mechanism during the initiation of thrombus formation. Under normal physiologic conditions in the absence of secreted PDI, thrombus formation is suppressed and maintains a quiescent, patent vasculature. The release of PDI during vascular injury serves as a novel regulatory switch that allows activation of proteins, including vitronectin, which are critical for the following platelet accumulation and fibrin generation.
