Nrf2 dictates the neuronal survival and differentiation of embryonic zebrafish harboring compromised tRNA synthetase

ABSTRACT: tRNA synthetase deficiency leads to unfolded protein responses in neuronal disorders; however, its function in embryonic neurogenesis remains unclear. This study identified an aars1cq71/cq71 mutant zebrafish allele that showed increased neuronal apoptosis and compromised neurogenesis. aars1 transcripts were highly expressed in primary neural progenitor cells, and their aberration resulted in protein overloading and activated Perk. nfe2l2b, a paralog of mammalian Nfe2l2, which encodes Nrf2, is a pivotal executor of Perk signaling that regulates neuronal phenotypes in aars1cq71/cq71 mutants. Interference of nfe2l2b in nfe2l2bΔ1/Δ1 mutants did not affect global larval development. However, aars1cq71/cq71;nfe2l2bΔ1/Δ1 mutant embryos exhibited increased neuronal cell survival and neurogenesis compared with their aars1cq71/cq71 siblings. nfe2l2b was harnessed by Perk at two levels. Its transcript was regulated by Chop, an implementer of Perk. It was also phosphorylated by Perk. Both pathways synergistically assured the nuclear functions of nfe2l2b to control cell survival by targeting p53. Our study extends the understanding of tRNA synthetase in neurogenesis and implies that Nrf2 is a cue to mitigate neurodegenerative pathogenesis.

McFarland2020 - Synthetase sequestration Model:a combined translation and tRNA charging cycle

Project description:The Synthetase Sequestration Model (SSM) is a simplified translation model that considers explicitly two main steps in the process of tRNA aminoacylation: first, the tRNA is bound by the aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, and in a second step, the amino acid is attached to the tRNA. The tRNA then participates in the translation reaction, becoming deacylated as a result. The tRNA exists in states bound, charged and uncharged. In the bound state, the tRNA is bound to the synthetase but uncharged, i.e., the tRNA is sequestered by the synthetase. The model predicts how the balance between the three different tRNA states (empty, bound and charged) changes depending on aminoacyl tRNA synthetase availability.

Expression data from menadione, PERK inhibitor, or control-treated HMLE-shGFP and HMLE-Twist human mammary epithelial cells

Project description:Malignant carcinomas that recur following therapy are typically de-differentiated and multi-drug resistant (MDR). De-differentiated cancer cells acquire MDR by upregulating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging enzymes and drug efflux pumps, but how these genes are upregulated in response to de-differentiation is not known. Here, we examine this question by using global transcriptional profiling to identify ROS-induced genes that are already upregulated in de-differentiated cells, even in the absence of oxidative damage. Using this approach, we found that the Nrf2 transcription factor, which is the master regulator of cellular response to oxidative stress, is pre-activated in de-differentiated cells. In de-differentiated cells, Nrf2 is not activated by oxidation but rather through a non-canonical mechanism involving its phosphorylation by the ER membrane kinase PERK. In contrast, differentiated cells require oxidative damage to activate Nrf2. Constitutive PERK-Nrf2 signaling protects de-differentiated cells from chemotherapy by reducing ROS levels and increasing drug efflux. These findings are validated in therapy-resistant basal breast cancer cell lines and animal models, where inhibition of the PERK-Nrf2 signaling axis reversed the MDR of de-differentiated cancer cells. Additionally, analysis of patient tumor datasets showed that a PERK pathway signature correlates strongly with chemotherapy resistance, tumor grade, and overall survival. Collectively, these results indicate that de-differentiated cells upregulate MDR genes via PERK-Nrf2 signaling, and suggest that targeting this pathway could sensitize drug-resistant cells to chemotherapy. Differentiated human breast epithelial cells (HMLE-shGFP) or de-differentiated cells (HMLE-Twist) were treated in culture with 40uM menadione for 2 hours or 1uM PERK inhibitor for 48 hours and compared to control DMSO-treated cells.

Identification of target genes of translation-dependent signalling in Arabidopsis

Project description:Changes ins organellar gene expression trigger retrograde signalling. Prolyl-tRNA synthetase (PRORS1) is located in chloroplasts and mitochondria. Thus, prors1-2 mutants are impaired in chloroplast and mitochondrial gene expression. The effects of the prors1-2 mutation on the global transcriptome were investigated with microarray analyses.

RNA-seq analysis of CNE1 cells based on LMP1 expression

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection are the risk factors for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and cervical carcinoma, respectively. However, clinical analyses demonstrate that EBV or HPV is associated with improved response of patients, although underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we found DNA tumor viruses, such as EBV and HPV, inhibited antioxidant activity and increased oxidative stress of tumor through analyzing RNA-seq data of clinical samples. Further, we found the oncoproteins of DNA tumor viruses, such as LMP1 of EBV and E7 of HPV, interacted with PERK through a conserved motif, which inhibited PERK-Nrf2 signaling and increased the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This inhibition of PERK-Nrf2 signaling in LMP1- or E7- positive cancer cells exhibited an increased sensitivity to chemotherapy in vivo. Meanwhile, LMP1- or E7-induced ROS promoted tumor growth. Consistently, disruption of viral oncoprotein-PERK interactions attenuated tumor growth and efficacy of chemotherapy in tumor-bearing mouse models. Our findings uncovered a paradoxical effect of DNA tumor virus oncoproteins on tumors and highlighted that targeting PERK-Nrf2 signaling might be an attractive strategy for the treatment of NPC and cervical carcinoma.

Activation of Akt, Nrf2, and NF-κB signal transduction pathways in the liver as a mechanism of survival for torpid Myotis ricketti Bats

Project description:Unfolded protein accumulation in the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) induced by cold exposure is termed UPRER. Some mammals hibernate to overcome cold winter. We investigated whether hibernating bats are under UPRER and activate Akt, Nrf2, and NF-κB signaling pathways that are critical for cell survival against cold. Results of Western blotting showed that several UPRER marker proteins such as PERK and ATF4 had a higher abundance in torpid than in active bats. Cellular redistribution of GRP78 and a lower degree of binding between PERK and GRP78 were also seen in torpid bats, suggesting the occurrence of UPRER. Results also showed that torpid bats had a higher amount of p-Akt (Ser473), a higher ratio of p-Akt (Ser473)/Akt, a lower amount of Keap1/Nrf2 and NF-κB (p65)/I-κBα complexes, and a higher degree of NF-κB (p65) nuclear translocation than active bats, indicating simultaneous activation of Akt, Nrf2, and NF-κB during hibernation. Evidence of such activation was not observed in fasted, cold-treated, or normal mice. Using PPI network and IPA analyses, we examined the proteomes of liver and liver mitochondria of bats and found a global metabolic adjustment and survival adaptation in response to UPRER in hibernating bats. Our data provide the first molecular evidence of a complex cross talk involving Akt, Nrf2, and NF-κB via the PERK-EIF2-ATF4 regulatory axis under UPRER in bats to ensure their survival during hibernation.
