Transcriptional dysregulation mediated by ROS in normal human haematopoietic progenitor cells expressing mutant N-RASG12D

ABSTRACT: The current study investigated the effect of RAS-induced ROS production on gene expression in normal human haematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) using gene expression profiling (GEP) and assessed whether ROS-induced gene expression changes contributed to the pro-proliferative phenotype. In order to determine the ROS-specific GEP, Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0ST arrays were used for the comparison of mutant RAS and control cells cultured in the presence or absence of the NOX inhibitor, DPI, which strongly suppressed the production of ROS.

Project description:Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are characterized by many somatic mutations which have already been shown useful in the prognostic assessment of MPN patients. Moreover, aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression seems to add to the molecular complexity of MPNs, as specific miRNA signatures capable of discriminating MPN cells from those of normal donors were previously reported. In order to have a comprehensive picture of miRNA deregulation and its relationship with differential gene expression in primary myelofibrosis (PMF) cells, we obtained gene- (GEP) and miRNA expression profiles (miEP) of CD34+ cells from 31 healthy donors and 42 PMF patients using Affymetrix technology (HG-U219 and miRNA 2.0 arrays). Differentially expressed genes (DEG) and miRNAs (DEM) were sorted out by means of Partek Genomic Suite vs 6.6. Since each miRNA can target many mRNAs while a single mRNA can be targeted by multiple miRNAs, we performed Integrative Analysis (IA) by means of Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) to untangle this combinatorial complexity. In particular, IPA points out DEM-DEG pairs among experimentally validated interactions from TarBase, miRecords and Ingenuity Expert Findings as well as predicted microRNA-mRNA interactions from TargetScan. IPA microRNA Target Filter was then employed to select only the DEM-DEG pairs showing an anti-correlated expression pattern and to build regulatory networks. Finally, 3'UTR luciferase reporter assays were performed to validate IPA predicted miRNA-mRNA interactions. This study allowed the identification of different networks possibly involved in PMF onset and progression, highlighting an aberrant cross-regulation in miRNA-targets involved in malignant hematopoiesis. Furthermore, Integrative analysis was proved a powerful tool to unravel miRNA-mRNA interactions in functional networks, shedding light on the potential contribution of miRNAs to PMF pathogenesis. Gene expression profile (GEP) and miRNA expression profile (miEP) were performed starting from the same totalRNA of CD34+ cells from 42 PMF patients and 31 healthy donors (n=16 PB CD34+, n=15 BM CD34+) (1 replicate for each sample). In particular, GEP and miEP were performed on 23 PMF patients carrying the mutation JAK2V617F and 19 wild-type samples.

Project description:Oxidative stress due to endogenous hydrogen peroxide production by Lactobacillus species is a well-known issue in the food industry. In this study, the transcriptional response to oxygen of Lactobacillus johnsonii, one of the H2O2-producing strains used in the food industry, was analyzed. It was found that aerobic growth conditions led to a more than two-fold downregulation of 45 genes as compared to anaerobic growth, whereas 6 genes were more than twofold upregulated. Among the upregulated genes were two genes that displayed significant homology to NADH-dependent oxidoreductase (NOX). The postulated transcriptional regulation of the nox promoter by oxygen was studied using a GUS-reporter construct, confirming a 2.1-fold upregulated GUS-expression upon aerobic growth. Exposure to sublethal levels of hydrogen peroxide did not result in significant regulation of the nox promoter. In a previous study of hydrogen peroxide production by L. johnsonii, a NADH flavin reductase (NFR) was identified to be involved in hydrogen peroxide production. An NFR-deficient derivative was strongly impaired in H2O2 production, but regained a partial H2O2 producing capacity upon prolonged oxygen exposure. The nox-promoter appeared to be 3.6-fold upregulated under aerobic conditions in the NFR-deficient background, which may imply a role of this gene in the regained H2O2 production. Indeed, deletion of the nox-gene in the NFR-deletion background, resulted in a strain that no longer produced H2O2, also during prolonged exposure to oxygen. The double-mutant (nfr, nox) displayed strongly impaired aerobic growth and oxygenation induced rapid growth stagnation that is not caused by H2O2. We conclude that H2O2 production in L. johnsonii is primarily dependent on NFR but can also involve an oxygen-inducible NADH oxidase under aerobic conditions. Moreover, our results imply that H2O2 production plays a prominent role in oxygen tolerance of L. johnsonii. loop design of the samples including two shortcuts
