Transcriptomic analysis unveils correlations between regulative apoptotic caspases and genes of cholesterol homeostasis in human brain

ABSTRACT: Caspases are cysteine-proteases with key roles in the execution phase of apoptosis. Additional cellular activities, unrelated to cell death seem to be influenced by these enzymes. Identification of genes co-regulated with caspases could help to ascertain new biological roles for these proteases.To identify genes and pathways under the influence of caspase-2 we silenced its expression in U87MG glioblastoma cell line. Transcriptional expression profiles of cells transfected with caspase-2 siRNA or control siRNA were compared. Gene expression profiling was evaluated from 2 replicates of U87MG cells transfected with CASP2-siRNA, or with Control-siRNA.

Stucki2005 - caspase-3 metabolism

Project description:Jörg W. Stucki & Hans-Uwe Simon. Mathematical modeling of the regulation of caspase-3 activation and degradation. Journal of Theoretical Biology 234, 1 (2005). Caspases are thought to be important players in the execution process of apoptosis. Inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) are able to block caspases and therefore apoptosis. The fact that a subgroup of the IAP family inhibits active caspases implies that not each caspase activation necessarily leads to apoptosis. In such a scenario, however, processed and enzymically active caspases should somehow be removed. Indeed, IAP–caspase complexes covalently bind ubiquitin, resulting in degradation by the 26S proteasome. Following release from mitochondria, IAP antagonists (e.g. second mitochondrial activator of caspases (Smac)) inactivate IAPs. Moreover, although pro-apoptotic factors such as irradiation or anti-cancer drugs may release Smac from mitochondria in tumor cells, high cytoplasmic survivin and ML-IAP levels might be able to neutralize it and, consequently, IAPs would further be able to bind activated caspases. Here, we propose a simple mathematical model, describing the molecular interactions between Smac deactivators, Smac, IAPs, and caspase-3, including the requirements for both induction and prevention of apoptosis, respectively. In addition, we predict a novel mechanism of caspase-3 degradation that might be particularly relevant in long-living cells.

Established glioma cell lines prove valuable models for tumour heterogeneity - mediated cellular response studies in vitro

Project description:Both established glioma cells lines U87MG and U373 were used for studying their interactions in the indirect co-cultures. Eventhough both being derived from the glioma tissue, those two cell lines prove morphologically and physiologically disctinct. Therefore their intre-cellular interactions were examined on gene exprexssion level in vitro to observe whether those co-cultures could make for a suitable in vitro cell model mimicking the in vivo glioma tumour heterogeneity. Three biological replicates of four cell set-ups were performed: U87MG monoculture, U373 monoculture, U87MG co-cultured with U373 (in Boyden chambers) and U373 co-cultured with U87MG (in Boyden chambers).

Systematic Mapping of ADAR1 Binding Reveals its Regulatory Roles in Multiple RNA Processing Pathways [small RNA-seq]

Project description:ADARs are the primary factors underlying A-to-I editing in metazoans. We conducted the first global study of ADAR1-RNA interaction in human cells using CLIP-Seq. In contrast to the expected predominant binding of ADAR1 to Alu repeats, thousands of CLIP sites were located in non-Alu regions. This unexpectedly frequent non-Alu binding enabled discovery of transcriptome-wide functional and biophysical targets of ADAR1 in the regulation of mRNA processing including alternative 3' UTR usage and alternative splicing. In addition, a global analysis of ADAR1 binding to non-Alu regions also revealed its primary interaction with microRNA (miRNA) transcripts in the nucleus, which subsequently affected expression levels of mature miRNAs. A complex global picture was revealed regarding the dependence of this function on the double-stranded RNA binding domains or deaminase activity. Our study unfolded a broad landscape of the diverse functional roles of ADAR1. To identify ADAR binding dependent miRNA defferential expression profiles, U87MG cells were transfected with ADAR1 overexpression vector, RNA binding mutant (EAA and E912A), siRNA of ADAR1 or controls.

A proteomic platform unveils the brain glycogen phosphorylase as a potential metabolic target for glioblastoma multiforme

Project description:In the last few years, several efforts have been ended to identify original strategies against gli-oblastoma multiforme (GBM): this requires a more detailed investigation of the molecular mechanism of GBM so that novel targets can be identiﬁed for new possible therapeutic agents. Here, using a combined proteomic approach, we evaluated the ability of a blood brain barrier permeable 2,3-benzodiazepin-4-one, called 1g, to interfere with the activity and the expression of brain glycogen phosphorylase (PYGB) on U87MG cell line in parallel with the capability of this compound to inhibit the cell growth and cycle. Thus, our results highlighted PYGB as a potential metabolic target in GBM prompting 1g as a capable anticancer drug thanks to its ability to nega-tively modulate the uptake and metabolism of glucose, the so called “Warburg effect”, whose increase is considered a common feature of cancer cells in respect of their normal counterparts.
