| Exposure to environmental factors induces the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)via the regional immune microenvironment(RIME)of the liver,such as the prevention and control of HCC related to hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection,which has become an important public health problem in the world.Mitochondrial quality control(MQC)is involved in the biological processes that affect glucose and lipid metabolism,regulatory cell death(RCD),and immune-inflammatory response in liver RIME.Cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)is an important regulator of inflammation induced by exposure to carcinogens.The organelle distribution of COX-2 plays an important role in RCD regulation.However,the molecular mechanism of mitochondrial COX-2(mito-COX-2)regulating RIME remodeling and mediating the occurrence and development of HCC remains to be elucidated.Therefore,in this study,long non-coding RNA(LncRNA)omics and molecular biology methods of exosomes(Exos)were used in HBx transgenic(HBx-Tg)mice,ex vivo and in vitro test models.To explore protein phosphatase 2A(PP2A)regulating mitochondrial dynamin-related protein 1(Drp1)dephosphorylation,influences the phenotype of HCC cells by interaction with mito-COX-2,and the molecular mechanism of mito-COX-2 mediated macrophage inflammation via Exos.Firstly,by studying the mechanism of PP2A-B56γ(B56γ)regulating the mitochondriallysosomal communication in HCC cells.It was found that Drpl-mediated mitochondrial fission promotes mitophagy.It was clarified that B56γ regulates p-Drp1Ser616 dephosphorylation and inhibits p-Drp1Ser616 interacting with ras-related protein 7(Rab7)to mediate mitochondrial-lysosomal communication-dependent mitophagy flux.It was revealed that targeted intervention of B56γ regulates p-Drp1Ser616 dephosphorylation and inhibits HCC cells growth.Secondly,the mitochondrial dynamics mechanism study of mito-COX-2 and p-Drp1Ser616 interaction regulating HCC occurrence was carried out.It was found that the expression of COX-2 and Drpl in HCC tumor tissues were up-regulated and positively correlated,and the co-localization distribution in HCC cells was enhanced,which was related to poor prognosis.It was clarified that COX-2 in HCC cells is translocated to mitochondria,mediates mitochondrial fission via the interaction of mito-COX-2 and p-Drp1Ser616,and participates in the inhibition of mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis.It was revealed that sirtuin 3(SIRT3)-mediated mito-COX-2 deacetylation enhances the sensitivity of HCC cells to platinum drugs-induced chemotherapy via regulating mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis.Thirdly,mito-COX-2 regulation of hepatocyte-derived Exos LncRNA SNHG14(SNHG14)mediated epigenetic regulation of NLRP3 in macrophages,it is found that mito-COX-2 in liver RIME may be via exos release,which is hepatocyte lipid metabolism reprogrammingdependent,to induce macrophage activation and hepatocyte malignant phenotype.Establishing a methionine-choline deficient dietary exposure model of HBx-Tg mice and using Exos LncRNA omics,it was found that the level of specific SNHG14 in HBxexpressing hepatocytes Exos was up-regulated,which clarified that SNHG14 was sorted into hepatocyte-derived Exos through hnRNPA2B1 and passed by miR133b molecules sponge effect to promote NLRP3 inflammasome activation-dependent pyroptosis in macrophages via the competitive endogenous RNA(ceRNA)mechanism.It is revealed that the mito-COX-2 regulatory pathway mediated by SNHG14/miR133b/NLRP3 signaling axis in the combined targeting of liver RIME is involved in HBx-induced inflammation-cancer transformation.In summary,this study successfully constructed B56y targeted regulation,site-directed mutation simulating high and low phosphorylation of Drp1 functional site(Ser616),COX-2 mitochondrial targeted distribution,and targeted intervention(gene and pharmacology)in vivo and in vitro test models.It was clarified that B56γ regulates p-Drp1Ser616 dephosphorylation mediates mitophagy of HCC cells,participate in the deacetylation of SIRT3 to regulate the interaction of mito-COX-2 and p-Drp1Ser616,and enhances mito-COX-2 regulatory pathway mediates mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis-related anti-tumor effects.This study further used the Exos of HBx-Tg mice liver tissue to carry out LncRNA transcriptomics screening.It was revealed that the specific sorting effect of SNHG14 in the mito-COX-2 regulatory pathway entered Exos,and clarified the ceRNA mechanism of SNHG14-mediated miR133b/NLRP3 epigenetic regulation.Targeted intervention mito-COX2/SNHG14/miR133b/NLRP3 signal axis provides clues for the prevention and control of RIME related to inflammation-cancer transformation in liver.It provides a new idea to explore the biomarker screening and targeted intervention of mito-COX-2 and exosomal SNHG14-mediated exposure to environmental factor(such as HBV/HBx)induced hepatocarcinogenesis. |
