doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2026.115181

Figure Lengend Snippet: Clomipramine inhibits Itch and prevents neuronal apoptosis and cell cycle re-entry in neurons from TgAD mice (A) Chemical structure of clomipramine. The chloride moiety is proposed to interact with catalytic cysteine in the HECT domain of Itch. (B) Rat cortical neurons were treated with Aβ 42 and/or clomipramine (75 nM) for 48 h followed by 12 h treatment with the proteasome inhibitor MG132. TAp73 was immunoprecipitated, and western blotting was performed on TAp73-IP with anti-ubiquitin and anti-Itch antibodies. Total protein lysates were also used for western blotting with indicated antibodies. Ubiquitinated TAp73 levels were quantified by densitometry of ubiquitin immunoblot, normalized with respect to the input TAp73, which was also normalized with respect to actin (mean ± SEM, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s test, N = 3). (C) Rat cortical neurons were treated with Aβ 42 and/or 75 nM clomipramine for 48 h followed by western blotting for indicated proteins. The levels of TAp73, PCNA, and cl_caspase3 were quantified by densitometry, and fold change with respect to untreated (ctrl) neurons was determined (mean ± SEM, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s test, N = 3). (D) Cortical neurons from WT or TgAD mice were treated with 75 nM clomipramine for 48 h followed by western blotting for indicated proteins. TAp73, PCNA, and cl_caspase3 levels were quantified by densitometry, and fold change with respect to untreated WT neurons is provided (mean ± SEM, ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s test, N = 2).

Article Title: TAp73 regulates mitochondrial dynamics and multiciliated cell homeostasis through an OPA1 axis

doi: 10.1038/s41419-024-07130-6

Figure Lengend Snippet: A Interrogation of ChIP-seq data indicated binding of TAp73α, TAp73β and p53 to the putative OPA1 promoter region. Sequencing read files were obtained from the GEO data set GSE15780, and tracks shown are for the indicated transcription factors at selected genes. B , C Targeted ChIP of TAp73 bound chromatin. RT-qPCR primers were designed in the promoter region of the OPA1 gene (OPA1 ‘A’ and OPA1 ‘B’). Red squares indicate regions enriched for the Trp73 motif (p < 0.001). qPCR was performed to quantify the fold enrichment of the OPA1 promoter region in an IP sample relative to IgG control. Enrichment of MDM2 and SAT2 promoter regions were assayed as positive and negative controls, respectively. qPCR was carried out on 3 independent ChIP experiments and data shown as individual data points ± SD (n = 3). D Representative western blot of mitochondrial fusion proteins in TAp73 KO and WT control. Cells were transfected with either EV or TAp73α expression construct for 24 h. E Densitometry analysis of western blot data shown in (D). Band intensity was calculated for total OPA1 (long and short isoforms) and CDKN1A (positive control). Signal intensity was normalised to loading control and reported relative to WT cells transfected with empty vector (n = 3). *P ≤ 0.05, (n.s.) not significant (Student’s t-test, comparison of indicated condition with WT empty vector control). F RT-qPCR was performed against OPA1 , MFN2 and CDKN1A genes and expression values calculated using the ∆∆Ct method, relative to WT empty vector control. Data shown as mean ± SD (n = 3). *P ≤ 0.05, (n.s) not significant (Student’s t-test, comparison of indicated condition with WT empty vector control).

Figure Lengend Snippet: TAp73 expression is required for mitochondrial homeostasis in vitro and in the ciliated epithelium in vivo (green nuclei) (left). Conversely, TAp73 ablation leads to decreased OPA1 expression, mitochondrial fission, and impaired mitochondrial function (right). The Trp73 −/− tracheal epithelium maintains a limited expression of FOXJ1 positive cells (purple), indicating additional mechanisms, such as the observed mitochondrial dysfunction drives MCC loss and COPD pathogenesis.
