Project description:Resistance of glioblastoma to the chemotherapeutic compound temozolomide is associated with the presence of glioblastoma stem cells in glioblastoma and is a key obstacle for the poor prognosis of glioblastoma. Here, we show that phospholipase D1 is elevated in CD44High glioblastoma stem cells and in glioblastoma, especially recurring glioblastoma. Phospholipase D1 elevation positively correlated with the level of CD44 and poor prognosis in glioblastoma patients. Temozolomide significantly upregulated the expression of phospholipase D1 in the low and moderate CD44 populations of glioblastoma stem cells, but not in the CD44High population in which phospholipase D1 is highly expressed. Phospholipase D1 conferred resistance to temozolomide in CD44High glioblastoma stem cells and increased their self-renewal capacity and maintenance. Phospholipase D1 expression significantly correlated with levels of temozolomide resistance factors, which were suppressed by microRNA-320a and -4496 induced by phospholipase D1 inhibition. Genetic and pharmacological targeting of phospholipase D1 attenuated glioblastoma stem cell-derived intracranial tumors of glioblastoma using the microRNAs, and improved survival. Treatment solely with temozolomide produced no benefits on the glioblastoma, whereas in combination, phospholipase D1 inhibition sensitized glioblastoma stem cells to temozolomide and reduced glioblastoma tumorigenesis. Together, these findings indicate that phospholipase D1 inhibition might overcome resistance to temozolomide and represents a potential treatment strategy for glioblastoma. © 2020 The Authors.

Project description:Background & aimsPhospholipase D1 (PLD1), a phosphatidylcholine-hydrolysing enzyme, is involved in cellular lipid metabolism. However, its involvement in hepatocyte lipid metabolism and consequently non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has not been explicitly explored.MethodsNAFLD was induced in hepatocyte-specific Pld1 knockout (Pld1(H)-KO) and littermate Pld1 flox/flox (Pld1-Flox) control mice feeding a high-fat diet (HFD) for 20 wk. Changes of the lipid composition in the liver were compared. Alpha mouse liver 12 (AML12) cells and mouse primary hepatocytes were incubated with oleic acid or sodium palmitate in vitro to explore the role of PLD1 in the development of hepatic steatosis. Hepatic PLD1 expression was evaluated in liver biopsy samples in patients with NAFLD.ResultsPLD1 expression levels were increased in the hepatocytes of patients with NAFLD and HFD-fed mice. Compared with Pld1-Flox mice, Pld1(H)-KO mice exhibited decreased plasma glucose and lipid levels as well as lipid accumulation in liver tissues after HFD feeding. Transcriptomic analysis showed that hepatocyte-specific deficiency of PLD1 decreased Cd36 expression in steatosis liver tissues, which was confirmed at the protein and gene levels. In vitro, specific inhibition of PLD1 with VU0155069 or VU0359595 decreased CD36 expression and lipid accumulation in oleic acid- or sodium palmitate-treated AML12 cells or primary hepatocytes. Inhibition of hepatocyte PLD1 significantly altered lipid composition, especially phosphatidic acid and lysophosphatidic acid levels in liver tissues with hepatic steatosis. Furthermore, phosphatidic acid, the downstream product of PLD1, increased the expression levels of CD36 in AML12 cells, which was reversed by a PPARγ antagonist.ConclusionsHepatocyte-specific Pld1 deficiency ameliorates lipid accumulation and NAFLD development by inhibiting the PPARγ/CD36 pathway. PLD1 may be a new target for the treatment of NAFLD.Impact and implicationsThe involvement of PLD1 in hepatocyte lipid metabolism and NAFLD has not been explicitly explored. In this study, we found that the inhibition of hepatocyte PLD1 exerted potent protective effects against HFD-induced NAFLD, which were attributable to a reduction in PPARγ/CD36 pathway-mediated lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. Targeting hepatocyte PLD1 may be a new target for the treatment of NAFLD.

Project description:Although macroautophagy is known to be an essential degradative process whereby autophagosomes mediate the engulfment and delivery of cytoplasmic components into lysosomes, the lipid changes underlying autophagosomal membrane dynamics are undetermined. Here, we show that phospholipase D1 (PLD1), which is primarily associated with the endosomal system, partially relocalizes to the outer membrane of autophagosome-like structures upon nutrient starvation. The localization of PLD1, as well as the starvation-induced increase in PLD activity, are altered by wortmannin, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor, suggesting PLD1 may act downstream of Vps34. Pharmacological inhibition of PLD and genetic ablation of PLD1 in mouse cells decreased the starvation-induced expansion of LC3-positive compartments, consistent with a role of PLD1 in the regulation of autophagy. Furthermore, inhibition of PLD results in higher levels of Tau and p62 aggregates in organotypic brain slices. Our in vitro and in vivo findings establish a role for PLD1 in autophagy.

Project description:Phospholipase D (PLD) is a potential therapeutic target against cancer. However, the contribution of PLD inhibition to the antitumor response remains unknown. We developed a potent and selective PLD1 inhibitor based on computer-aided drug design. The inhibitor enhanced apoptosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells but not in normal colonic cells, and in vitro cardiotoxicity was not observed. The inhibitor downregulated the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and reduced the migration, invasion, and self-renewal capacity of CRC cells. In cancer, therapeutic engagement of immunogenic cell death (ICD) leads to more effective responses by eliciting the antitumor immunity of T cells. The CRC cells treated with the inhibitor showed hallmarks of ICD, including downregulation of "do not eat-me" signals (CD24, CD47, programmed cell death ligand 1 [PD-L1]), upregulation of "eat-me" signal (calreticulin), release of high-mobility group Box 1, and ATP. PLD1 inhibition subsequently enhanced the phagocytosis of cancer cells by macrophages through the surface expression of costimulatory molecules; as a result, the cancer cells were more susceptible to cytotoxic T-cell-mediated killing. Moreover, PLD1 inhibition attenuated colitis-associated CRC and orthotopically injected tumors, probably by controlling multiple pathways, including Wnt signaling, phagocytosis checkpoints, and immune signaling. Furthermore, combination therapy with a PLD1 inhibitor and an anti-PD-L1 antibody further enhanced tumor regression via immune activation in the tumor environment. Collectively, in this study, PLD1 was identified as a critical regulator of the tumor microenvironment in colorectal cancer, suggesting the potential of PLD1 inhibitors for cancer immunotherapy based on ICD and immune activation. PLD1 inhibitors may act as promising immune modulators in antitumor treatment via ICD.

Project description:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by the accumulation of triglycerides (TG) as lipid droplets in the liver. Although lipid-metabolizing enzymes are considered important in NAFLD, the involvement of phospholipase D1 (PLD1) has not yet been studied. Here, we show that the genetic ablation of PLD1 in mice induces NAFLD due to an autophagy defect. PLD1 expression was decreased in high-fat diet-induced NAFLD. Subsequently, PLD1 deficiency led to an increase in hepatic TGs and liver weight. Autophagic flux was blocked in Pld1-/- hepatocytes, with decreased β-oxidation rate, reduced oxidation-related gene expression, and swollen mitochondria. The dynamics of autophagy was restored by treatment with the PLD product, phosphatidic acid (PA) or adenoviral PLD1 expression in Pld1-/- hepatocytes, confirming that lysosomal PA produced by PLD1 regulates autophagy. Notably, PLD1 expression in Pld1-/- liver significantly reduced hepatic lipid accumulation, compared with Pld1-/- liver. Thus, PLD1 plays an important role in hepatic steatosis via the regulation of autophagy.

Project description:Activation of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D(PLD) occurs as part of the complex signal-transduction cascade initiated by agonist stimulation of tyrosine kinase and G-protein-coupled receptors. A variety of mammalian PLD activities have been described, and cDNAs for two PLDs recently reported (human PLD1 and murine PLD2). We describe here the cloning and chromosomal localization of murine PLD1. Northern-blot hybridization and RNase protection analyses were used to examine the expression of murine PLD1 and PLD2 ina variety of cell lines and tissues. PLD1 and PLD2 were expressed in all RNA samples examined, although the absolute expression of each isoform varied, as well as the ratio of PLD1 to PLD2. Moreover, in situ hybridization of adult brain and murine embryo sections revealed high levels of expression of individual PLDs in some cell types and no detectable expression in others. Thus the two PLDs probably carry out distinct roles in restricted subsets of cells rather than ubiquitous roles in all cells.

Project description:To explore the role of phospholipase D1 (PLD1) mRNA in transition of prostate cancer (PCa) cells to androgen independence, we used Arraystar Human LncRNA Microarray V3.0 to detect and compare the differential expression of PLD1 and its signaling pathway-related gene in standard androgen dependence prostate cancer (ADPC) cell line LNCaP before and after the occurrence of androgen independence prostate cancer (AIPC) transition. In addition, we used the shRNA lentiviral vector to inhibit the PLD1 mRNA expression and observed its effect on LNCaP cell proliferation after AIPC transition by using MTS method. The results showed that the expression level of PLD1 mRNA was increased by 373-fold after AIPC transition (P<0.05); the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway-related gene expression was also elevated (P<0.05); the growth rate of LNCaP cells that had transited to androgen independence was reduced by about 30% when the PLD1 mRNA expression was inhibited by the shRNA lentivirus as compared with the negative control group (P<0.05). All these results suggest that PLD1 mRNA and the related PI3K/AKT signaling pathway may play an important role in AIPC. Down-regulating the expression of PLD1 mRNA could to some extent inhibit the proliferation rate of PCa cells after AIPC transition.

Project description:The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway senses and responds to nutrient availability, energy sufficiency, stress, hormones and mitogens to modulate protein synthesis. Rapamycin is a bacterial product that can inhibit mTOR via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. mTOR signaling is necessary for the development of influenza and modulates the antibody response to provide cross-protective immunity to lethal infection with influenza virus. In one human study, it was found that the treatment of severe H1N1 influenza‑related pneumonia with rapamycin and steroids improved the outcome. However, in other studies, immunosuppression with systemic steroids, and possibly rapamycin as well, was associated with an increased morbidity/mortality and a prolonged viral replication. In order to avoid the systemic side-effects, some investigators have postulated that the inhalation of rapamycin would be desirable. However, the inhalation of rapamycin, with its well-documented lung toxicity, could be contraindicated. Another class of drug, biguanides, can also inhibit mTOR, but have no lung toxicity. Biguanides are widely used small molecule drugs prescribed as oral anti-diabetics that have exhibited considerable promise in oncology. During the 1971 outbreak of influenza, diabetic patients treated with the biguanides, phenformin and buformin, had a lower incidence of infection than diabetics treated with sulfonylureas or insulin. Both buformin and phenformin reduce the mortality of influenza in mice; phenformin is less effective than buformin. The inhalation of buformin or phenformin for influenza may be an effective novel treatment strategy that would limit the risk of systemic side-effects associated with biguanides due to the low inhaled dose. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, a virus closely related to the SARS virus. The disease is the cause of the 2019-2020 coronavirus outbreak. It is primarily spread between individuals via small droplets emitted from infected individuals when breathing or coughing. PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling responses play important roles in MERS-CoV infection and may represent a novel drug target for therapeutic intervention strategies. The present review article discusses the effects of biguanides on influenza and coronavirus.

Project description:Previously, we reported that phospholipase D1 (PLD1) and PLD2 inhibition by selective PLD1 and PLD2 inhibitors could prevent platelet aggregation in humans, but not in mice. Moreover, only the PLD1 inhibitor, but not PLD2 inhibitor, could effectively prevent thrombus formation in mice, indicating that PLD might play different roles in platelet function in humans and mice. Although PLD1 and PLD2 were reported to be implicated in thrombotic events, the role of PLD in mice remains not completely clear. Here, we investigated the role of PLD1 and PLD2 in acute pulmonary thrombosis and transient middle cerebral artery occlusion-induced brain injury in mice. The data revealed that inhibition of PLD1, but not of PLD2, could partially prevent pulmonary thrombosis-induced death. Moreover, concurrent PLD1 and PLD2 inhibition could considerably increase survival rate. Likewise, inhibition of PLD1, but not PLD2, partially improved ischemic stroke and concurrent inhibition of PLD1, and PLD2 exhibited a relatively better protection against ischemic stroke, as evidenced by the infarct size, brain edema, modified neurological severity score, rotarod test, and the open field test. In conclusion, PLD1 might play a more important role than PLD2, and both PLD1 and PLD2 could act synergistically or have partially redundant functions in regulating thrombosis-relevant events.

Project description:Objective：Phospholipase D1 (PLD1), a phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing enzyme, has been found to be involved in cellular lipid metabolism. However, how PLD1 involves in hepatocyte lipid metabolism and thus affects non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) has not been explicitly explored. Method: NAFLD is induced in hepatocyte-specific Pld1 knockout (Pld1(H)-KO) mice or control (Pld1-Flox) mice with a high fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks. Plasma glucose and lipid levels, liver lipid and function parameters and inflammation- and fibrogenesis-related gene expression levels were studied. Changes in lipid composition of liver were detected by lipidomic analyses. Changes in gene expression profile were detected by mRNA sequencing. In vitro, alpha mouse liver 12 (AML12) cells were incubated with sodium palmitate (SP) to explore the mechanisms of PLD1 on development of NAFLD. The protein levels of PLD1 and CD36 were detected in the liver tissues of NAFLD patients. Finally, the therapeutic effect of NAFLD by inhibiting PLD with 5-Fluoro-2-indolyl deschlorohalopemide (FIPI) was examined. Results: PLD1 expression levels were increased in the liver tissues of NAFLD patients and the hepatocytes of HFD-induced mice. Compared with Pld1-Flox mice, Pld1(H)-KO mice exhibited lower plasma glucose and lipids levels, and decreased lipid accumulation, inflammation and fibrosis related gene expression levels in the liver tissues after HFD feeding. Inhibition of hepatocyte PLD1 significantly altered lipid composition, especially phosphatidic acids (PA) and lyso-PAs (LPA) levels in the liver tissues after NAFLD. Transcriptomic analysis showed that hepatocyte specific deficiency of PLD1 mainly decreased CD36 expression levels in the NAFLD liver tissues, which was confirmed at the protein and gene expression levels. In vitro, inhibition of PLD1 markedly decreased CD36 expression and lipid accumulation in SP treated AML12 cells. Furthermore, PA, the downstream product catalyzed by PLD1, increased the expression levels of CD36 and lipid accumulation in vitro, which was reversed by PPARγ antagonist. These suggested that PPARγ played an important role in transcriptional regulation of CD36 expression after PA stimulation. Finally, PLD inhibitor FIPI had significant therapeutic effect on HFD-induced NAFLD. Conclusion: Hepatocyte-specific deficiency of PLD1 ameliorates lipid accumulation and NAFLD development by inhibiting PPARγ/CD36 pathway conducted by PA.
