We have recently described an ex vivo chemoresponse assay for determining chemosensitivity in primary cultures of human tumors. In this study, we have extended these experiments in an effort to correlate chemoresponse data with gene expression patterns at the level of transcription. Primary cultures of cells derived from ovarian carcinomas of individual patients (n=6) were characterized using the ChemoFx assay and classified as either carboplatin sensitive (n=3) or resistant (n=3). Three represe ...[more]

Project description:Purpose: Irinotecan (SN38) and oxaliplatin are chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of colorectal cancer. However, the frequent development of resistance to these drugs represents a considerable challenge in the clinic. Alus as retrotransposons comprise 11% of the human genome. Genomic toxicity induced by carcinogens or drugs can reactivate Alus by altering DNA methylation. Whether or not reactivation of Alus occurs in SN38 and oxaliplatin resistance remains unknown. Methods: We applied reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) to investigate the DNA methylome in SN38- or oxaliplatin-resistant colorectal cancer cell line models. Moreover, we extended the RRBS analysis to tumor tissue from 14 patients with colorectal cancer who either did or did not benefit from capecitabine + oxaliplatin treatment. For the clinical samples, we applied a concept of DNA methylation entropy to estimate the diversity of DNA methylation states of the identified resistance phenotype-associated methylation loci observed in the cell line models. Results: We identified different loci being characteristic for the different resistant cell lines. Interestingly, 53% of the identified loci were Alu sequences -- especially the Alu Y subfamily. Furthermore, we identified an enrichment of Alu Y sequences that likely results from increased integration of new copies of Alu Y sequence in the drug-resistant cell lines. In the clinical samples, SOX1 and other SOX gene family members were shown to display variable DNA methylation states in their gene regions. The Alu Y sequences showed remarkable variation in DNA methylation states across the clinical samples. Our findings imply a crucial role of Alu Y in colorectal cancer drug resistance. Our study underscores the complexity of colorectal cancer aggravated by mobility of Alu elements and stresses the importance of personalized strategies, using a systematic and dynamic view, for effective cancer therapy. Investigation of the representive methylome of well-established SN38 and Oxaliplatin resistant cell line models and 14 clinical colorectal metastatic samples that have developed resistance to XELOX to review the epigenetic mechnism of the drug resistance.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide is an important signaling molecule in plants that regulates essential biological processes through protein persulfidation. Although numerous persulfidated proteins were found to be involved in photorespiration, little was known about sulfide-mediated regulation of photorespiration. Label-free quantitative proteomic analysis has revealed a high impact on the protein persulfidation level when plants grown under non-photorespiratory conditions are transferred to air, with the 97 % of total identified proteins more persulfidated under suppressed photorespiration. A detailed study of the effect of sulfide on important aspects associated with photorespiratory growth conditions has provided insight into the role of sulfide in protecting plants grown under suppressed photorespiration. In these conditions, sulfide amends the metabolic imbalance of carbon/nitrogen and restores ATP levels to concentrations similar to those in air grown conditions. Sulfide also plays an essential role in balancing the significant high level of ROS measured in plants under non-photorespiratory conditions to reach a similar cellular redox state in air-grown plants, through the regulation of antioxidative defenses. Furthermore, sulfide regulates another important characteristic resulting from suppression of photorespiration, such as the stomata closure, to decrease the high guard cell ROS levels and inducing the stomata aperture. In this way, sulfide signals the movement of the CO2-dependent stomata to achieve a scenario similar to that of plants growing under normal air conditions, in the opposite direction of the already established ABA-dependent movement of the stomata. Therefore, our findings suggest that the high persulfidation level under suppressed photorespiration reveals an essential role of sulfide signaling under these conditions, and with respect to stomatal movement, the outcome of this signaling is dependent on the growth/stress condition under study.
