Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) modulates lifespan of C.elegans

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is formed naturally from L-cysteine in a variety of mammalian and non-mammalian cells. To date, numerous biological effects have been ascribed to H2S including control of cardiovascular, immune and nervous function. Over or under production of H2S has been observed in several disease states including hypertension and inflammation. In addition, it has been stipulated that H2S may affect the ageing process. The model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is ideally suited for assessing drug effects on lifespan since it is relatively short-lived, can be easily exposed to drugs and its genome is fully sequenced and widely annotated. The global transcriptome of control nematodes (raised using standardized laboratory conditions) was compared to nematodes exposed to 100 uM GYY4137 (morpholin-4-ium 4 methoxyphenyl(morpholino) phosphinodithioate), a slow releasing H2S donor drug.

Drivers of metallothionein-mediated detoxification of cadmium in C.elegans

Project description:Cadmium is toxic and intricate pathways linked to metallothioneins (MT) drive the detoxification process. Whist the mechanisms are well understood in mammalian systems, detailed knowledge is still elusive in invertebrates (which notably differ to mammalian systems). The model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is ideally suited for assessing metallothionein mediates detoxification in invertebrates as is relatively short-lived, can be easily exposed and its genome is fully sequenced and widely annotated. The aim of the experiment was to identify new MT mediated target genes involved in Cd toxicosis. The global transcriptome was compared in wild type and a MT double knockout strain raised in the presence or absence of 30 µM Cd.

Transcription profiling by array of C. elegans exposed to quercetin and tannic acid

Project description:Recent research has highlighted that the polyphenols Quercetin (Q) and Tannic acid (TA) are capable of extending the lifespan of C. elegans. To gain a deep understanding of the underlying molecular genetics, we analyzed the global transcriptional patterns of nematodes exposed to Quercetin or Tannic acid concentrations that are non-effective (in lifespan extension), lifespan extending or toxic. The global transcriptome was compared in wild type nematodes raised in the presence of 0, 50, 100, and 200 µM Quercetin (Q) or 0, 100, 200, and 300 µM Tannic acid (TA).

The complex interplay of genetic pathways in C.elegans following the treatment with humic substances

Project description:Low concentrations of the dissolved leonardite humic acid HuminFeed® (HF) prolonged the lifespan and enhanced the thermal stress resistance of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. Furthermore growth was impaired and reproduction delayed, effects which have also been identified in other polyphenolic monomers, including tannic acid, rosmarinic acid, and caffeic acid. Moreover, a chemical modification of HF (HF-HQ), which increases its phenolic/quinonoid moieties, magnified the biological impact on C. elegans. To gain a deep insight into the molecular basis of these effects, we performed global transcriptomics on young adult (3 d) and old adult (11 d) nematodes exposed to two concentrations of HF and young adults (3 d) exposed to two concentrations of HF-HQ. The global transcriptome was compared in Caenorhabditis elegans mutant strain GE24, pha-1(e2123) exposed to 0, 0.2 and 2.0 mM HuminFeed® (HF) or Huminfeed-Hydroquinone (HF-HQ). Nematodes were harvested as 3 or 11 day old adults (for HF) or 3 day old adults (for HF-HQ).

Differenetial Gene Expression in Limbs of Wild Type and Lmx1b KO mice during limb dorsalization (e11.5, e12.5 & e13.5)

Project description:Lmx1b regulates dorsalization of limb fates, but the mechanism of this regulation has not been characterized. To identify candidate genes regulated by Lmx1b we compared the limbs from Lmx1b KO mice to wild type mice during limb dorsalization (e11.5-13.5). Differentially expressed genes that we common to all three stages examined were considered to be likely candidates for Lmx1b regulation and further evaluated. At 11.5 and 12.5 dpc, embryos were harvested and the limb buds with the limb girdles were isolated. Embryos at 13.5dpc were also harvested and their distal limb buds (zeugopods and autopods) were isolated. Embryos were genotyped to confirm Lmx1b homozygosity (-/- or +/+). RNA from embryonic forelimbs and hindlimbs of wild type (WT) and Lmx1b KO mice was harvested using the Rneasy Kit (Qiagen). RNA was pooled to decrease genetic variability, i.e., six limbs at 11.5 dpc, three limbs at 12.5 dpc and six limbs at 13.5 dpc. Duplicate samples were generated using different embryos for each stage and then hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (UCI, Irvine, CA).

Cancer cell-derived ADAM15 dictates macrophage infiltration in colorectal tumors

Project description:Tumor progression and response to treatment is highly affected by interactions between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME). Many of the soluble factors and signaling receptors involved in this crosstalk are shed by a disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMs). Upregulation of ADAM15 has been linked to worse survival in cancer patients and a tumor-promoting function both in vitro and in murine cancer models. Although ADAM15 has been involved in cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions, its role in the crosstalk between cancer cells and the TME in vivo remains unexplored. Therefore, we aimed to understand how ADAM15 regulates the cell composition of the TME and how it affects tumor progression. Here, we showed an upregulation of ADAM15 in tumor tissues from rectal cancer patients. Subcutaneous injection of wildtype and ADAM15-knockout CT26 colon cancer cells in syngeneic mice confirmed the pro-tumorigenic role of ADAM15. Profiling of tumors revealed higher immune cell infiltration and cancer cell apoptosis in the ADAM15-deficient tumors. Specifically, loss of ADAM15 led to a reduced number of granulocytes and higher infiltration of antigen-presenting cells, including dendritic cells and macrophages, as well as more T cells. Using in vitro assays, we confirmed the regulatory effect of ADAM15 on macrophage migration and identified ADAM15-derived CYR61 as a potential molecular mediator of this effect. Together, our data suggest that targeting ADAM15 could increase the infiltration of immune cells in colorectal tumors and thereby turn cold tumors hot, resulting in a potentially improved response to combined immunotherapy.

Spermidine Yeast Aging Array

Project description:Administration of spermidine, a natural polyamine whose intracellular concentration declines during human ageing, markedly extends the lifespan of various model organisms including yeast, flies and worms. In ageing yeast, spermidine treatment triggeres epigenetic deacetylation of histone H3 through inhibition of histone acetyltransferases (HAT), leading to induction of autophagy and thereby suppressing oxidative stress and necrosis. In order to further characterize the effects by spermidine supplementation of aging yeast cultures and to understand how global histone deacetylation affects gene transcription during aging, Affymetrix-based microarray analyses of three day old as well as ten day old cultures with and without administration of spermidine was performed.

SEVERE CONSEQUENCES OF A HIGH-LIPID DIET INCLUDE HYDROGEN SULFIDE DYSFUNCTION AND DISEASE AGGRESSION IN GLIOBLASTOMA

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) remains among the deadliest of human malignancies, and the emergence of the cancer stem cell (CSC) phenotype represents a major challenge to durable treatment response. Because the environmental and lifestyle factors that impact CSC populations are not clear, we sought to understand the consequences of diet on CSC enrichment. We evaluated disease progression in mice fed an obesity-inducing high-fat diet (HFD) versus a low-fat, control diet. HFD resulted in hyper-aggressive disease accompanied by CSC enrichment and shortened survival. HFD drove intracerebral accumulation of saturated fats, which inhibited the production of the cysteine metabolite and gasotransmitter, hydrogen sulfide (H2S). H2S functions principally through protein S-sulfhydration and regulates multiple programs including bioenergetics and metabolism. Inhibition of H2S increased proliferation and chemotherapy resistance, whereas treatment with H2S donors led to death of cultured GBM cells and stasis of GBM tumors in vivo. GBM specimens present an overall reduction in protein S-sulfhydration, primarily associated with proteins regulating cellular metabolism. These findings provide new evidence that diet modifiable H2S signaling serves to suppress GBM by restricting metabolic fitness, while its loss triggers CSC enrichment and disease acceleration. Interventions augmenting H2S bioavailability concurrent with GBM standard of care may improve outcomes for GBM patients.

Epidermal growth factor shedding directs macrophage education in cancer

Project description:Macrophages in the tumor microenvironment have a significant impact on tumor progression. Depending on the signaling environment in the tumor, macrophages can either support or constrain tumor growth and metastasis. It is therefore of therapeutic interest to identify the tumor-derived factors that control macrophage education. With this aim, we correlated the expression of ADAM proteases, which are key mediators of cell-cell signaling, to the expression of pro-tumorigenic macrophage markers in human cancer cohorts. We identified ADAM17, a sheddase upregulated in many cancer types, as a protein of interest. Depletion of ADAM17 in cancer cell lines reduced the expression of several pro-tumorigenic markers in neighboring macrophages in vitro as well as in mouse tumor models. Accordingly, ADAM17-/- educated macrophages demonstrated a reduced ability to induce cancer cell invasion. Using quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics, we identified HB-EGF, shed by ADAM17 in the cancer cells, as the implicated molecular mediator of macrophage education. Additionally, RNA-seq and ELISA experiments revealed that ADAM17-dependent HB-EGF release induces the expression and secretion of CXCL chemokines in macrophages, which in turn stimulates cancer cell invasion. In conclusion, we provide evidence that ADAM17 mediates a paracrine HB-EGF-chemokine feedback loop, whereby cancer cells hijack macrophages to promote tumor progression.

Transcription profiling of rat nasal respiratory epithelium laser capture microdissected after exposure to hydrogen sulfide

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a naturally occurring gas that is also associated with several industries. The potential for widespread human inhalation exposure to this toxic gas is recognized as a public health concern. The nasal epithelium is particularly susceptible to H2S-induced pathology. Injury to and regeneration of the nasal respiratory mucosa occurred in animals with ongoing H2S exposure suggesting that the regenerated respiratory epithelium undergoes an adaptive response and becomes resistant to further H2S induced toxicity. To better understand this adaptive response, twenty-four naive 10-week old male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to air or 200 ppm H2S in a nose-only exposure system for 3h/d for 1 or 5 consecutive days. Nasal respiratory epithelial cells at the site of injury and regeneration were laser capture microdissected and gene expression profiles were generated at time 3h, 6h, 24h, and 144h post initial exposure using the Affymetrix Rat Genome 430 2.0 microarray. Gene ontology enrichment analysis identified early gene changes in such functional categories as signal transduction, inflammatory/defense response, cell cycle, and response to oxidative stress. Later gene changes occurred in categories involved in cell cycle, DNA repair, transport, and micro-tubule-based movement. These data contribute to our understanding of the nasal epithelial cells? response to inhaled environmental toxicants. A better understanding of the H2S cytotoxicity mechanism will improve human risk assessment. Experiment Overall Design: Twenty-four naive 10-week old male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to air or 200 ppm H2S in a nose-only exposure system for 3h/d for 1 or 5 consecutive days. Nasal respiratory epithelial cells at the site of injury and regeneration were laser capture microdissected and gene expression profiles were generated at time 3h, 6h, 24h, and 144h post initial exposure using the Affymetrix Rat Genome 430 2.0 microarray.
