Project description:Calcineurin/NFAT signaling pathway has been shown to play important roles in various tissues such as the immune system, cardiac muscle and neuron. Although recent studies have shown that the pathway is involved in the regulation of hair growth, the precise mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we examine the molecular mechanism which is regulated by calcineurin/NFAT pathway, using two specific inhibitors for the pathway. Transcriptional profiling of human keratinocyte cell line, PHK cells, comparing control untreated PHK cells with cyclosporin A (CsA)-treated or 11R-VIVIT-treated PHK cells. Goal was to identify the effects of NFAT inhibitors on PHK cell proliferation. Cyclosporine A is a chemical compound, which strongly inhibits calcineurin phosphatase activity cooperating with cyclophilin, resulting in inhibition of NFAT signaling pathway. 11R-VIVIT is a cell-permeable peptide, which specifically interacts with NFAT and inhibits its binding to calcineurin, resulting in competitive inhibition of NFAT signaling pathway. Three-condition experiment; untreated PHK cells, CsA-treated PHK cells and 11R-VIVIT-treated PHK cells. Supplementary files: Significantly up-regulated genes across 4 different comparisons.

Project description:MCT-1 is an oncogene initially identified in a human T-cell lymphoma. Subsequently, MCT-1 protein levels were found to be elevated in a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Forced expression of MCT-1 has recently been shown to induce cell proliferation as well as activate survival-related pathways protecting lymphoid cells from apoptosis. We document here that MCT-1 interacts with the density-regulated protein (DENR/DRP), containing the SUI1 translation initiation domain, found in many translation initiation factors. MCT-1 contains the PUA domain, a recently described RNA binding domain that is found in several tRNA and rRNA modification enzymes. Our findings established that MCT-1 protein is interacting with the cap complex through its PUA domain and enhances translation. Furtheremore, our data support a putative role for the MCT-1 oncogene in translation and suggests a mechanism for its role in lymphomagenesis. Keywords: Gene upregulation by MCT-1

Project description:We report the application of RNA sequencing in lung tissues of MCT rats, that were treated with Angiotensin 2 or TRV023 or Losartan to study their effects on Pulmonary hypertension. We received FPKM data of each gene from each group of MCT rats. The gene expression of the study MCT rats were normalized to control MCT rat. The differentially expressed genes in Angiotensin 2 and TRV023 treated MCT rats, confirmed that like Angiotensin 2, TRV023 is also involved in vascular remodelling and lead to worsening of pulmonary hypertension.

Project description:Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, predominantly caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes, particularly HPV 16 and 18. Although it is largely preventable through vaccination and early detection, cervical cancer remains a significant health issue, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, mainly due to acquired chemoresistance. This study explores the therapeutic potential of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), with a focus on ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs), in combating oncogenesis in cervical cancer. Using the TCGA database, we assessed the prognostic relevance of USP14, revealing that elevated levels of this enzyme correlate with poorer overall and disease-free survival among cervical cancer patients. In-silico analysis of publicly available gene expression datasets also indicates a significant upregulation of USP14 in cervical cancer tumor tissues compared to their paired normal tissues. USP14 expression was analyzed at both the RNA and protein levels across various cervical cancer cell lines, followed by assays for proliferation, metastasis, and invasion to assess the impact of USP14 depletion. Elevated USP14 expression was observed in the cervical cancer cell lines, and inhibiting USP14 resulted in significant reductions in cell proliferation, metastasis, and invasion. A novel USP14 inhibitor, IU-1, produced similar results. Proteomic analysis indicated that the lactate transporter MCT-4, a crucial metabolic regulator, was dysregulated following USP14 alteration. Immunoprecipitation studies confirmed stable interactions between USP14 and MCT-4. Cycloheximide and Deubiquitination assays further demonstrated that USP14 modulates MCT-4 stability via deubiquitination at specific sites. Additionally, docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations illustrated the interaction between USP14 and MCT-4. Furthermore, the lactate shuttle was evaluated following USP14 inhibition, demonstrating the effect of MCT-4 inhibition on lactate production in cervical cancer cells. Immunohistochemical analysis of retrospective tissue samples assessed the expression of USP14 and MCT-4 and their correlation with patient prognosis. Collectively, our findings highlight the vital role of USP14 in the oncogenic and metabolic processes of cervical cancer, suggesting their potential as therapeutic targets. This research enhances the understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving cervical cancer progression and underscores the need for targeted therapeutic strategies.

Project description:Comparison of a cyclosporine-resistant murine CD8 T cell clone to a cyclosporine-sensitive murine T cell clone during activation (CSA = Cyclosporine A) Chronic allograft rejection is the leading cause of morbidity/mortality in solid organ and bone marrow transplant patients. It occurs in the setting of potent calcineurin and mTOR inhibitor therapies, implying that T cells mediating chronic rejection can function with compromised calcineurin-NFAT or IL-2 receptor signaling pathways. In murine models the T cells mediating allograft rejection in the setting of calcineurin inhibitor therapy are CD8 T cells making IFN-gamma without a requirement for perforin. It is not known whether these pathologic T cells are a unique subset or how they function. In parallel other animal model research has shown that alloepthelial cells residing in the donor organ are critical targets for rejection. While investigating T cell-alloepithelial cell interactions, we discovered an unusual alloreactive CD8 T cell population that recognized MHC class II I-Abm12. A CD8 T cell clone derived from that population was intrinsically-resistant to cyclosporine and rapamycin without prior exposure to either in vivo or in vitro. Microarray analysis comparing the novel CD8 T cell clone to a conventional CD8 CTL clone specific for MHC class I Kbm1 suggested that the TCR signaling pathway responsible for cyclosporine-resistance utilized the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR).
