OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of Shoushen granule, prepared with four Chinese medicinals, on the targeted regulation of adenosine triphosphate binding cassette transporter A1(ABCA1) through proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9(PCSK9) and toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB) signaling pathway to affect atherosclerosis(AS) in ApoE-knockout(ApoE-/-) ***: ApoE-/-mice fed with a high-fat diet were used for AS modeling and divided into Model,Shoushen, and Atorvastatin groups. C57 BL/6 J mice at the same age and background strain were included in the Control group. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to measure ABCA1, PCSK9, TLR4, and NF-κB protein expression in mouse aortas. Enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay was used to measure mouse serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-10(IL-10), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1(MCP-1), and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) expression. Serum lipid profiles and histopathology were also assessed. Shoushen granule were composed of Heshouwu(Radix Polygoni Multiflori) 15 g, Gouqizi(Fructus Lycii) 15 g, Sheng shanzha(Raw Fructus Crataegus Pinnatifidae) 10 g, and Sanqi(Radix Notoginseng) 3 ***: ApoE-/-mice fed with a high-fat diet had notable AS lesions, with reduced ABCA1 and IL-10 levels, elevated PCSK9, TLR4, NF-κB, TNF-α, MCP-1,and ICAM-1 expression, and increased total cholesterol(TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) contents. With drug interventions, the areas of AS plaques were significantly reduced,the ABCA1 and IL-10 levels were increase, while the PCSK9, TLR4, NF-κB, TC, and LDL-C contents,and the TNF-α, MCP-1, and ICAM-1 expression were ***: Shoushen granule effectively interfered with AS development by antagonizing the expression of key factors of the PCSK9 and TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway to upregulate ABCA1 expression.

Protein Folding Mediated by an Intramolecular Chaperone: Energy Landscape for Unimolecular Pro-Subtilisin E Maturation

Efficient and precise assembly of polypeptides into native functional states is critical for normal cellular processes. Understanding how a specific structure is encoded in the polypeptide sequence and what drives the structural progression to the native state is essential to deciphering the folding problem. Several prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins require their propeptide-domains to function as dedicated intramolecular chaperones (IMCs). In this manuscript, we investigate the elementary steps in the IMC mediated maturation of Subtilisin E, a bacterial serine protease, and a prototype for the eukaryotic proprotein convertases (PCs). Through detailed analyses, we have attempted to define the unimolecular folding energy landscape for SbtE to understand how the stabilization of folding intermediates influences the maturation process, an aspect that is difficult to study in eukaryotic PCs. Our studies demonstrate that a rapid hydrophobic collapse precedes acquisition of tertiary structure during the folding of Pro-SbtE and results in formation of a molten-globule like intermediate. Induction of structure within the IMC stabilizes both the molten globule-like folding intermediate and the native state, and appears to expedite initial stages of folding, purely through thermodynamic stabilization of the folded state. While the induced structure does not affect the activation energies in the unimolecular folding reaction, it is detrimental to the autoproteolytic cleavage of the precursor and subsequent release and degradation of the inhibitory IMC-domain since both these stages require some degree of unfolding. Completion of Pro-SbtE maturation results in the formation of a kinetically trapped and extremely stable native state. Hence, our results suggest that the SbtE IMC appears to have evolved to be intrinsically unstructured and to bind with its cognate protease with a specific affinity that is critical for biological regulation.
