AbstractStudies have indicated that dysfunction of autophagy is involved in the initiation and progression of multiple tumors and their chemoradiotherapy. Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a lymphotropic human gamma herpes virus that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). EBV encoded latent membrane protein1 (LMP1) exhibits the properties of a classical oncoprotein. In previous studies, we experimentally demonstrated that LMP1 could increase the radioresistance of NPC. However, how LMP1 contributes to the radioresistance in NPC is still not clear. In the present study, we found that LMP1 could enhance autophagy by upregulating the expression of BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3). Knockdown of BNIP3 could increase the apoptosis and decrease the radioresistance mediated by protective autophagy in LMP1-positive NPC cells. The data showed that increased BNIP3 expression is mediated by LMP1 through the ERK/HIF1α signaling axis, and LMP1 promotes the binding of BNIP3 to Beclin1 and competitively reduces the binding of Bcl-2 to Beclin1, thus upregulating autophagy. Furthermore, knockdown of BNIP3 can reduce the radioresistance promoted by protective autophagy in vivo. These data clearly indicated that, through BNIP3, LMP1 induced autophagy, which has a crucial role in the protection of LMP1-positive NPC cells against irradiation. It provides a new basis and potential target for elucidating LMP1-mediated radioresistance.

Tight junctions (TJs) between blood-brain barrier (BBB) endothelial cells construct a robust physical barrier, whose damage underlies BBB dysfunctions related to several neurodegenerative diseases. What makes these highly specialized BBB-TJs extremely restrictive remains unknown. Here, we use super-resolution microscopy (dSTORM) to uncover new structural and functional properties of BBB TJs. Focusing on three major components, Nano-scale resolution revealed sparse (occludin) vs. clustered (ZO1/claudin-5) molecular architecture. In mouse development, permeable TJs become first restrictive to large molecules, and only later to small molecules, with claudin-5 proteins arrangement compacting during this maturation process. Mechanistically, we reveal that ZO1 clustering is independent of claudin-5 in-vivo. In contrast to accepted knowledge, we found that in the developmental context, total levels of claudin-5 inversely correlate with TJ functionality. Our super-resolution studies provide a unique perspective of BBB TJs and open new directions for understanding TJ functionality in biological barriers, ultimately enabling restoration in disease or modulation for drug delivery.
