ABSTRACT: Multidrug resistance (MDR) frequently develops in cancer patients exposed to chemotherapeutic agents and is usually brought about by over-expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) which acts as a drug efflux pump. MiRNAome profiling using next-generation sequencing identified differentially expressed microRNAs (miRs) between parental K562 cells and MDR K562 cells (K562/ADM) induced by chronic adriamycin treatment. MiRNAome profiling in untreated K562 cells and K562 cells exposed to long-term adriamycin treatment

Project description:We report the acetylation of lysine residues in the globular domain of H3 (H3K64ac and H3K122ac) marks active gene promoters and also a subset of active enhancers in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), human erythroleukemic cell line (K562). Moreover, we find a novel class of active functional enhancers in ESCs that are marked by H3K122ac but which lack H3K27ac. This work suggests that a more complex analysis of histone acetylation is required to identify enhancers than was previously considered.

Project description:Our goal is to find new genes regulated by p21 in human primary cells . To get it we carried out a gene expression profiling in two different models, human myeloid leukemia K562 cells and human keratinocytes both of them with conditional expression of p21. In order to find genes regulated by p21 in human primary cells we carried out a gene expression profiling in human myeloid leukemia K562 cells with conditional expression of p21. We previously described a K562 derivative, termed Kp21-4, that carries a zinc-inducible p21 gene (Munoz-Alonso MJ et at., 2005). We performed a kinetic study to identify the expression peak of p21 in this system. This transient induction of p21 was accompanied by proliferation arrest and an increase in polyploid cells after 48-72 h (Munoz-Alonso MJ et at., 2005). Actually, 6-12 h of p21 induction with ZnSO4 is sufficient to irreversibly trigger proliferation arrest. Therefore, we chose 12 h as the induction time to analyse p21 effects on the transcriptome of these cells, as gene expression changes later on may be indirect due to other phenotypic effects. We next carried out the gene expression profiling of Kp21-4 cells upon p21 induction by ZnSO4. In order to identify genes specifically modulated by p21 we compared with the cell line Kp27-5, which carries a Zn2+-inducible p27 allele (Munoz-Alonso MJ et at., 2005). p27 is a close relative to p21 that also inhibits CDKs and induce cell cycle arrest . Thus, the comparison serves to identify genes specifically regulated by p21 in our analysis. We subtracted the gene expression changes occurring at 72 h in Kp21-4 cells those genes regulated by p27 in the Kp27-5 cells and genes changed by ZnSO4 treatment in parental K562 cells. So, our intention is to identify only genes regulated at short time of induction by p21 and not by p27. In order to confirm these results we studied the p21-dependent repression of mitotic genes in a different cellular system. A dramatic increase in p21 and p27 in Kp21 and Kp27 were demonstrated by RT-qPCR and immunoblot (as we show in the manuscript). We prepared RNA 12 h and 72h after induction with ZnSO4 and performed large-scale expression assay using the Afftymetrix platform. The clustering analysis revealed that p21 provoked the down-regulation of a number genes involved in cell cycle control not shared by cells expressing p27 (as we show in the manuscript). Our goal, has been getting genes regulated more strongly by p21 and not by p27, in cell cycle and itosis. Our result are supported because we have found the same genes in two different models and also we have validated (by RT-qPCR) more than 20 cell cycle and mitotic genes, found in our affymetrix arrays. Also we have found the region of p21 that is sufficient for gene regulation and for one gene we have described as p21 bind to the promoter. Finally, we have discussed in our manuscript how p21 can do this regulation by bioinformatic analysis of p21-target genes. The sucess of this study is describe a new role of p21 as a transcriptional co-repressor in some systems.
Project description:The spongiolactones are marine natural products with an unusual rearranged spongiane skeleton and a fused β-lactone ring. These compounds have potential anticancer properties, but their mode of action has yet to be explored. Here we employ activity-based protein profiling to identify the targets of a more potent spongiolactone derivative (probe 3) in live cancer cells, and compare these to the target profile of a simpler β-lactone (probe 4). Furthermore, we treat K562 cells with probe 3 and perform quantitative proteomic analysis of the global proteome after 24 hrs. Together, these proteomic data provide the first insights into the covalent mechanism of action of this natural product class.
Project description:We characterized the miRNA composition of the nucleus and the cytoplasm of uninfected cells and compared it with the one of cells infected with the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia strain wMelPop-CLA. We found an overall increase of small RNAs between 18 and 28 nucleotides in both cellular compartments in Wolbachia-infected cells and identified specific miRNAs induced and/or suppressed by the Wolbachia infection. We discuss the mechanisms that the cell may use to shuttle miRNAs between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. In addition, we identified piRNAs that changed their abundance in response to Wolbachia infection. The miRNAs and piRNAs identified in this study provide promising leads for investigations into the host-endosymbiont interactions and for better understanding of how Wolbachia manipulates the host miRNA machinery in order to facilitate its persistent replication in infected cells.

Project description:The objective of the experiment was to compare changes in the transcriptome induced by direct X-irradiation of cells, using the human K562 erythroleukemic, Me45 melanoma and HCT116 colon cancer cell lines. The transcript levels of K542 and Me45 RNA samples were measured using Affymetrix HG-U133A microarrays and for HCT116 with HGU 133A 2.0 in time points 1, 12, 24 h after irradiation and compared to the levels of RNA from control cells. Experiments were repeated twice for Me45 and K562 cells.
