Project description:Drug target identification is a critical step towards the understanding of the mechanism of action of a drug, which will help to improve the current therapeutic regime and to expand the drug’s therapeutic potential. However, current in vitro affinity chromatography-based and in vivo activity- based protein profiling (ABPP) approaches generally face difficulties discriminating specific drug targets from non-specific ones. Here we describe a novel approach combining isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) with Clickable ABPP, named ICABPP, to specifically and comprehensively identify the protein targets of andrographolide (Andro), a natural product with known anti-inflammation and anti-cancer effects, in live cancer cells. We identified a spectrum of specific targets of Andro, which furthered our understanding of the mechanism of action of the drug. We found that Andro has a potential novel application as the tumor metastasis inhibitor, which was validated through cell migration and invasion assays. Moreover, we have unveiled the target binding mechanism of Andro with a combination of drug analogue synthesis, protein engineering and mass spectrometry-based approaches and determined the drug-binding sites of two protein targets, NF-kappaB and actin.

Project description:Introduction: Breast radiotherapy is currently â??one size fits allâ?? regardless of breast cancer subtype (eg. luminal, basal). However, recent clinical data suggests that radiation response may vary significantly among subtypes. Therefore, current practice leads to over- or under-treatment of women whose tumors are more or less radiation responsive. We hypothesized that this clinical variability may be due, in part, to differences in cellular radiation response. Methods: We exposed 16 biologically-diverse breast tumor cell lines to 0 or 5GY radiation. Microarray analysis was performed on RNA harvested from those cell lines. Samples were run in triplicate. Following quality assessment, differential gene expression analysis was performed using a two-way multiplicative linear mixed-effects model. A candidate radiation response biomarkers with biologically plausible role in radiation response, were identified and confirmed at the RNA and protein level with qPCR and Western blotting assays. Induction in human breast tumors was confirmed in 32 patients with paired pre- and post-radiation tumor samples using IHC and microarray analysis. Quantification of protein was performed in a blinded manner and included positive and negative controls. The objective of our study was to identify genomic determinants of radiation sensitivity using clinical samples as well as breast tumor cell lines. In order to identify differences in the radiation response gene expression profiles of specific breast cancer subtypes, we exposed 16 biologically-diverse breast tumor cell lines to 0 or 5GY radiation. Microarray analysis was performed on RNA harvested from those cell lines. Samples were run in triplicate. Following quality assessment, differential gene expression analysis was performed using a two-way multiplicative linear mixed-effects model. Candidate radiation response biomarker with a biologically plausible role in radiation response, were identified and confirmed at the RNA and protein level with qPCR and Western blotting assays. Induction of the genes of interest were further evaluated and confirmed in human breast tumors in 32 breast cancer patients with paired pre- and post-radiation tumor samples using IHC and microarray analysis assays.

Project description:Increasing evidence supports the existence of a subpopulation of cancer cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation into diverse cell lineages. These cancer stem-like or cancer initiating cells (CICs) also demonstrate resistance to chemo- and radiotherapy and may function as a primary source of cancer recurrence. We report here on the isolation and in vitro propagation of multicellular ovarian cancer spheroids from a well-established ovarian cancer cell line (OVCAR-3). Cells forming these spheroids display self-renewal potential, the ability to produce differentiated progeny and increased expression of genes previously associated with CICs. The spheroid-derived cells (SDCs) also demonstrate higher invasiveness, migration potential and enhanced resistance to standard anticancer agents relative to progenitor OVCAR-3 cells. SDCs display up-regulation of genes associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions (EMT), anticancer drug resistance and/or decreased susceptibility to apoptosis, as well as, down-regulation of genes typically associated with the epithelial cell phenotype and pro-apoptotic genes. Dataset includes 3 replicate cultures of parental OVCAR-3 cells and 3 replicate cultures of stem cell-like spheroid-derived cells

Project description:Although fibrosis depicts a reparative mechanism, maladaptation of the heart due to excessive production of extracellular matrix accelerates cardiac dysfunction. The anthraquinone Rhein was examined for its anti-fibrotic potency to mitigate cardiac fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition (FMT). Primary human ventricular cardiac fibroblasts were subjected to hypoxia and characterized with proteomics, transcriptomics and cell functional techniques. Knowledge based analyses of the omics data revealed a modulation of fibrosis-associated pathways and cell cycle due to Rhein administration during hypoxia, whereas p53 and p21 were identified as upstream regulators involved in the manifestation of cardiac fibroblast phenotypes. Mechanistically, Rhein-mediated cellular effects were linked to the histone deacetylase (HDAC)-dependent acetylation status of p53 a posttranslational modification that acts protein stabilizing. Direct enzymatic testing revealed an inhibitory potency of Rhein for HDAC classes I/II. Functionally, Rhein inhibited collagen contraction in response to protein abundance of SMAD7, thus demonstrating its anti-fibrotic property in cardiac remodeling. In conclusion, this study identifies Rhein as a novel potent HDAC inhibitor and provides evidence that Rhein may contribute to the treatment of cardiac fibrosis as anti-fibrotic agent. As readily available drug with approved safety, repurposing of Rhein constitutes a promising potential therapeutic approach in the supplemental and protective intervention of cardiac fibrosis.

Project description:To understand the molecular basis of neurodevelopmental abnormalities in HSAN1E disorder associated with DNMT1 Y495C mutation, we have developed transgenic mouse ES lines (R1Dnmt1 Y495C) that expresses mutant transcripts in addition to the endogenous wild-type transcripts. We also generated a transgenic cell line that overexpresses the wild-type transcripts (R1wt Dnmt1) to segregate the effects of mutant proteins. We performed transcriptome profiling of mESC lines and their neuronal derivatives using RNA-seq. Dysregulated transcripts in R1wt Dnmt1 and R1Dnmt1 Y495C mESCs and neurons were identified by comparisons with the wild-type counterpart (R1; wild-type mESC line). Gene ontology and pathway enrichment analysis were performed to identify potential pathways and key regulatory genes underlying the HSAN1E associated neurodevelopmental phenotypes.

Project description:The in vitro osteogenic differentiation of hAEC, hAFSC and hBMSC have been reported.The final tissue-forming potential of all three cell types may vary in terms of different anatomical origin and molecular response to osteogenic induction. We used microarrays to detail the global genes expression profiles of hAEC, hAFSC and hBMSC before and after osteogenic induction in vitro. Global gene expression profiles of hAECs, hBMSCs and hAFMSCs were evaluated before and after 7-day osteogenic induction in vitro. Samples were subjected to gene expression analysis using the Affymetrix human HTA2.0 microarray.

Project description:Senescence can be transmitted in a paracrine way from cells undergoing Oncogene Induced Senescence (OIS) to naM-CM-/ve normal cells. We define this phenomenon as M-bM-^@M-^\paracrine senescenceM-bM-^@M-^] We used microarrays to compare the trancriptome of cells undergoing paracrine senescence to the transcriptome of cells suffering OIS to unveil the common signatures defining both events and the similarities between them IMR90 cells were co-cultured with IMR90 ER:RAS undergoing OIS or IMR90-Vector control cells using 0.2 M-NM-<m pore transwell (anopore) to allow communication of soluble factors but physical separation of the two cell populations. The total mRNA of IMR90, IMR90 ER:RAS or IMR90 cells cultured in Transwells together with IMR90 vector or IMR90 ER:RAS cells during 7 days in the presence of 200 nM 4OHT and 0.5 % FBS was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays to compare paracrine senescence to OIS.

Project description:Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 12A (PPP1R12A) interacts with the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1c) to form one of the many protein phosphatase 1 complexes, PP1c-PPP1R12A (or myosin phosphatase). In addition to a well-documented role in muscle contraction, the PP1c-PPP1R12A complex is associated with cytoskeleton organization, cell migration, adhesion, cell division, and insulin signaling. Despite the variety of biological functions, only a few substrates of the PP1c-PPP1R12A complex are characterized, which limits a full understanding of PP1c-PPP1R12A activities. Here, the chemoproteomics method K-BIPS (Kinase-catalyzed Biotinylation to Identify Phosphatase Substrates) was used to identify substrates of the PP1c-PPP1R12A complex in L6 skeletal muscle cells. K-BIPS enriched 136 candidate substrates with 14 high confidence hits. Two high confidence hits, AKT1 kinase and COPS4 signalosome proteins, were studied as novel PP1c-PPP1R12A substrates. Interestingly, both AKT1 and COPS4 were previously documented to regulate PP1c-PPP1R12A phosphatase activity. Therefore, the data suggest that PP1c-PPP1R12A influences its own phosphatase activity through substrate-dependent feedback mechanisms
