The Delayed Turnover of Proteasome Processing of Myocilin upon Dexamethasone Stimulation Introduces the Profiling of Trabecular Meshwork Cells’ Ubiquitylome
2024
Overview
Glaucoma is chronic optic neuropathy whose pathogenesis has been associated with the altered metabolism of Trabecular Meshwork Cells, which is a cell type involved in the synthesis and remodeling of the trabecular meshwork, the main drainage pathway of the aqueous humor. Starting from previous findings supporting altered ubiquitin signaling, in this study, we investigated the ubiquitin-mediated turnover of myocilin (MYOC/TIGR gene), which is a glycoprotein with a recognized role in glaucoma pathogenesis, in a human Trabecular Meshwork strain cultivated in vitro in the presence of dexamethasone. This is a validated experimental model of steroid-induced glaucoma, and myocilin upregulation by glucocorticoids is a phenotypic marker of Trabecular Meshwork strains. Western blotting and native-gel electrophoresis first uncovered that, in the presence of dexamethasone, myocilin turnover by proteasome particles was slower than in the absence of the drug. Thereafter, co-immunoprecipitation, RT-PCR and gene-silencing studies identified STUB1/CHIP as a candidate E3-ligase of myocilin. In this regard, dexamethasone treatment was found to downregulate STUB1/CHIP levels by likely promoting its proteasome-mediated turnover. Hence, to strengthen the working hypothesis about global alterations of ubiquitin-signaling, the first profiling of TMCs ubiquitylome, in the presence and absence of dexamethasone, was here undertaken by diGLY proteomics. Application of this workflow effectively highlighted a robust dysregulation of key pathways (e.g., phospholipid signaling, β-catenin, cell cycle regulation) in dexamethasone-treated Trabecular Meshwork Cells, providing an ubiquitin-centered perspective around the effect of glucocorticoids on metabolism and glaucoma pathogenesis.
