Cannabinoid Modulation of Eukaryotic Initiation Factors (eIF2α and eIF2B1) and Behavioral Cross-Sensitization to Cocaine in Adolescent Rats

ABSTRACT: Reduced eukaryotic Initiation Factor 2 (eIF2)α phosphorylation (p-eIF2α) enhances protein synthesis, memory formation, and addiction-like behaviors. However, p-eIF2α has not been examined with regard to psychoactive cannabinoids and cross-sensitization. Here, we find that a cannabinoid receptor agonist (WIN 55,212-2 mesylate [WIN]) reduced p-eIF2α in vitro by upregulating GADD34 (PPP1R15A), the recruiter of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). The induction of GADD34 was linked to ERK/CREB signaling and to CREB-binding protein (CBP)-mediated histone hyperacetylation at the Gadd34 locus. In vitro, WIN also upregulated eIF2B1, an eIF2 activator subunit. We next found that WIN administration in vivo reduced p-eIF2α in the nucleus accumbens of adolescent, but not adult, rats. By contrast, WIN increased dorsal striatal levels of eIF2B1 and ΔFosB among both adolescents and adults. In addition, we found cross-sensitization between WIN and cocaine only among adolescents. These findings show that cannabinoids can modulate eukaryotic initiation factors, and they suggest a possible link between p-eIF2α and the gateway drug properties of psychoactive cannabinoids.

The Integrated Stress Response effector GADD34 is repurposed by neurons to promote stimulus-induced translation

Project description:Neuronal protein synthesis is required for long-lasting plasticity and long-term memory consolidation. Dephosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α is one of the key translational control events that is required to increase de novo protein synthesis that underlies long-lasting plasticity and memory consolidation. Here, we interrogate the molecular pathways of translational control that are triggered by neuronal stimulation with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which results in eIF2α dephosphorylation and de novo protein synthesis. Primary rodent neurons exposed to BDNF displayed elevated translation, but not transcription, of GADD34, which facilitates eIF2α dephosphorylation and subsequent de novo protein synthesis. Furthermore, GADD34 requires G-actin generated by cofilin to dephosphorylate eIF2α and enhance protein synthesis. Finally, GADD34 is required for BDNF-induced translation of synaptic plasticity-related proteins. Overall, we provide evidence that neurons repurpose GADD34, an effector of the Integrated Stress Response, as an orchestrator of rapid increases in eIF2-dependent translation in response to plasticity-inducing stimuli.

ISR target genes in the liver of mock-injected and AP20187-treated mice of wildtype and Atf4-/- genotype

Project description:The molecular mechanisms linking the stress of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER stress) to glucose intolerance in obese animals are poorly understood. In this study enforced expression of a translation initiation 2α (eIF2α)-specific phosphatase, GADD34, was used to selectively compromise signaling in the eIF2(αP)-dependent arm of the ER unfolded protein response in liver of transgenic mice. The transgene resulted in lower liver glycogen levels and susceptibility to fasting hypoglycemia in lean mice and glucose tolerance and diminished hepato-steatosis in animals fed a high fat diet. Attenuated eIF2(αP) correlated with lower expression of the adipogenic nuclear receptor PPARγ and its upstream regulators, the transcription factors C/EBPα and C/EBPβ, in transgenic mouse liver, whereas eIF2α phosphorylation promoted C/EBP translation in cultured cells and primary hepatocytes. These observations suggest that eIF2(αP)-mediated translation of key hepatic transcriptional regulators of intermediary metabolism contributes to the detrimental consequences of nutrient excess. Keywords: genotype comparison The low expressing Ttr::Fv2E-Perk transgene (#58) was bred into the Atf4 knockout strain and the derivative compound heterozygous mice (in the mixed FvB/n; Swiss Webster background) were backcrossed to the Atf4+/- parental stock and Ttr::Fv2E-PERK positive siblings with Atf4+/+ and Atf4-/- genetypes were analyzed.

Expression data in GADD34 knockout cells treated with arsenite

Project description:Growth arrest and DNA damage induced protein (GADD34) is a regulator of protein phosphatase 1 and promotes eIF2α dephosphorylation under conditions of various stress. eIF2α phosphorylation at Ser 51 is a key nodule controlling the general rate of protein synthesis and activation of integrated stress response pathways. In GADD34 knockout conditions, dysregulated eIF2α phosphorylation is likely to produce abnormalities in the integrated stres response. GADD34 can be induced by many different stresses but oxidative stress by arsenite produced highest GADD34 levels in various cell lines tested. We aim to evaluate early gene expression changes on arsenite treatment and examine if GADD34 influences the profile of genes induced by oxidative stress. Using microarrays, we investigated the impact of GADD34 knockout under conditions of oxidative stress induced by arsenite in mouse embryonic fibroblasts.

Microarray and Pathway Analysis Reveal Distinct Mechanisms Underlying Cannabinoid-Mediated Modulation of LPS-Induced Activation of BV-2 Microglial Cells

Project description:Cannabinoids are known to exert immunosuppressive activities. However, the mechanisms which contribute to these effects are unknown. Using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to activate BV-2 microglial cells, we examined how Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major psychoactive component of marijuana, and cannabidiol (CBD) the non-psychoactive component, modulate the inflammatory response. Microarray analysis of genome-wide mRNA levels was performed using Illumina platform and the resulting expression patterns analyzed using the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis to identify functional subsets of genes, and the Ingenuity System Database to denote the gene networks regulated by CBD and THC.

Dendritic cells and stress translation

Project description:In response to inflammatory stimulation, dendritic cells (DCs) have a remarkable pattern of differentiation that exhibits specific mechanisms to control the immune response. Here we show that in response to polyriboinosinic:polyribocytidylic acid (poly I:C), DCs mount a specific transcription program during which the growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein 34 (GADD34/MyD116), a phosphatase 1 (PP1) cofactor, is expressed. Together with its constitutively active counterpart CReP, GADD34 promotes an extensive dephosphorylation of the translation initiation factor eIF2-alfa in activated DCs. In turn, dephosphorylation of eIF2-alfa prevents the translation inhibition normally associated with cellular stress or detection of cytoplasmic double-stranded RNA. These observations have important implications in linking pathogen detection with the integrated stress responses molecular machinery. The importance of this regulation for DC function is exemplified by the alteration of IFN-beta production or the induction of caspase-3 cleavage upon inhibition of PP1 activity. LPS-activated murine bone-marrow derived dendritic cells were transfected or pulsed with pIC and incubated for 4h or 16h. Cells were harvested, total RNA was extracted and analysed by Affymetrix microarrays analysis.

TFEB regulates protein synthesis to sustain autophagy during starvation

Project description:In response to starvation, cells undergo a metabolic shift to ensure their survival by shutting down protein synthesis and activating catabolic processes, including autophagy, to degrade proteins and recycle nutrients. These processes, however, do require protein synthesis. We asked how this fundamental conflict is resolved. Upon starvation, cells activate the Integrated Stress Response (ISR) and inhibit mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). The ISR inhibits protein translation through the phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2), whereas mTORC1 inhibition induces activation of the transcription factors TFEB/TFE3. We discovered that PPP1R15A (aka GADD34), a member of the protein phosphatase 1 complex (PP1) is a direct and early target of TFEB. GADD34 recruits PP1 to dephosphorylate eIF2 and thus fine-tunes protein synthesis to enable translation of the transcriptional program induced by starvation leading to a sustained autophagic flux.
