    Abstract:
    Abstract Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular process that profoundly impacts the efficacy of genotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs. TGF‐β‐activated kinase 1 (TAK1) is a serine/threonine kinase that activates several signaling pathways involved in inducing autophagy and suppressing cell death. Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is a rate‐limiting enzyme that converts hypoxanthine to xanthine, and xanthine to uric acid and hydrogen peroxide in the purine catabolism pathway. Recent studies showed that uric acid can bind to TAK1 and prolong its activation. We hypothesized that genotoxic drugs may induce autophagy and apoptosis resistance by activating TAK1 through XOR‐generated uric acid. Here, we report that gemcitabine and 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), two genotoxic drugs, induced autophagy in HeLa and HT‐29 cells by activating TAK1 and its two downstream kinases, AMP‐activated kinase (AMPK) and c‐Jun terminal kinase (JNK). XOR knockdown and the XOR inhibitor allopurinol blocked gemcitabine‐induced TAK1, JNK, AMPK, and Unc51‐like kinase 1 (ULK1) S555 phosphorylation and gemcitabine‐induced autophagy. Inhibition of the ATM‐Chk pathway, which inhibits genotoxic drug‐induced uric acid production, blocked gemcitabine‐induced autophagy by inhibiting TAK1 activation. Exogenous uric acid in its salt form, monosodium urate (MSU), induced autophagy by activating TAK1 and its downstream kinases JNK and AMPK. Gene knockdown or the inhibitors of these kinases blocked gemcitabine‐ and MSU‐induced autophagy. Inhibition of autophagy by allopurinol, chloroquine, and 5Z‐7‐oxozeaenol (5Z), a TAK1‐specific inhibitor, enhanced gemcitabine‐induced apoptosis. Our study uncovers a previously unrecognized role of XOR in regulating genotoxic drug‐induced autophagy and apoptosis and has implications for designing novel therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment.
    Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved biological phenomenon related to protein degradation and organelle turnover. Three types of autophagy have been defined: macroautophagy, microautophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy, which differ the way of in the delivery of substrates to the lysosome. In macroautophagy, substrates are wrapped in a double membrane structure, called the autophagosome. The formation of the autophagosome and its fusion with the lysosome are genetically controlled by a series of autophagy molecules and are activated in response to a number of environmental cues. Much has yet to be learned about the signaling pathway and the molecular mechanisms about this process. Autophagy is important to multiple cellular functions, particularly for nutrient and energy balance, and the turnover of cellular substances. The relationship of autophagy with cell death is complicated and may be context-dependent. Whereas the nature of autophagic death has yet to be carefully defined, it seems that autophagy may, in fact, be a key regulator of both apoptosis and necrosis. In this context, the roles of macroautophagy in both prosurvival and prodeath have been identified. Understanding the circumstance in which autophagy affects cell functions and therefore cell viability is critical for the future intervention of this process to control cancer, tissue injury, and other disease processes.

    Bcl-2 family proteins are known to regulate mitochondrial integrity and apoptosis. More recently, they have been found to play a role in regulating autophagy. Autophagy is a process involved in removing excess or damaged organelles. Bnip3 is a pro-apoptotic BH3-only protein which is known to cause mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death. Bnip3 is also a potent inducer of mitochondrial autophagy. In this study I have investigated the mechanism by which Bnip3 promotes removal of mitochondria via autophagy. Bnip3 contains a C-terminal transmembrane (TM) domain that is essential for homodimerization and pro- apoptotic function. Here, I show that Bnip3 homodimerization is also a requirement for induction of autophagy. Mutations in Bnip3 that disrupt homodimerization, but do not interfere with mitochondrial localization, failed to induce autophagy. In addition, I found that endogenous Bnip3 was localized to both the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in HeLa cells. To investigate the effects of Bnip3 at ER on autophagy, Bnip3 was targeted specifically to mitochondria or ER by substituting the Bnip3 TM domain with that of Acta or cytochromeb5, respectively. Interestingly, Bnip3 induced significant autophagy in cells from both sites. Moreover, Bnip3 induced removal of mitochondria and ER by autophagy via binding to LC3 on the autophagosome. Ablation of the Bnip3-LC3 interaction had no effect on the induction of general autophagy but significantly reduced autophagy of mitochondria and ER. Thus, our data suggest that the Bnip3 homodimer functions as an autophagy receptor to ensure removal of mitochondria and ER
