Project description:In order to obtain a global picture regarding regulation of p53 in liver cells we used HepG2 hepatoma cells.We created two isogenic sub-cultures of HepG2 cells with altered expression of p53. HepG2 cells were infected with a retroviral vector harboring either small-hairpin RNA targeting p53 (termed HepG2sh-p53) or a non relevant small-hairpin RNA (termed HepG2sh-con). Cells were treated with two different p53 stimulators - Nutlin and AICAR

Project description:Despite being the frontline therapy for Type 2 diabetes, the mechanisms of action of the biguanide drug metformin are still being discovered. In particular, the detailed molecular interplays between the AMPK and the mTORC1 pathway in the hepatic benefits of metformin are still ill-defined. Metformin-dependent activation of AMPK classically inhibits mTORC1 via TSC/RHEB. But several lines of evidence suggest additional mechanisms at play in metformin inhibition of mTORC1. Here we investigated the role of direct AMPK-mediated serine phosphorylation of RAPTOR in a new RaptorAA mouse model, in which AMPK phospho-serine sites Ser722 and Ser792 of RAPTOR were mutated to alanine. Metformin treatment of primary hepatocytes and intact murine liver requires AMPK regulation of both RAPTOR and TSC2 to fully inhibit mTORC1, and this regulation is critical for the transcriptional response to metformin. Transcriptionally, AMPK and mTORC1 were both important for regulation of anabolic metabolism and inflammatory programs triggered by metformin treatment.

Project description:We investigated the role of AMPK activation in the progression of senescence in HFDPCs. The anti-senescence effects of adenine, a recently identified AMPK activator, were determined in a comparison with AICAR, a pharmacological AMPK activator, in HFDPCs. The results showed that either adenine or AICAR induced phosphorylation of Thr172 of AMPK in HFDPCs. As revealed by microarray analysis, significant changes of gene expression pattern were observed in the high-passage HFDPCs compared with that at lower passage level.

Project description:Reversion from primed to naïve pluripotent status has been achieved by various signaling manipulation, but it is still unclear what signaling is the actual driving force to get over the hurdle from primed to naïve pluripotency. We previously reported that activation of AMP kinase (AMPK) contributed to maintenance of naïve pluripotency. Here, we further show that AMPK activators, AICAR, A769662 or metformin, can induce the reversion of primed mouse epiblast stem cells (mEpiSCs) to naïve pluripotent state. Primed mEpiSCs in our naïve cell culture condition with leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and 2 kinase inhibitors (2i) (2iL) never gave rise to naïve state cells. Addition of AICAR alone even in the absence of 2iL or either of AMPK inhibitors with LIF induced appearance of naïve-like cells from primed mEpiSCs. Through maintenance and passages of these cells in 2iL condition, clear naïve-like morphology colonies were purely obtained. They showed core naïve protein expression, and global naïve gene expression profiles. These cells contributed to chimeric mice including germline transmission. Inhibition of p38 signaling abolished the AMPK-elicited reversion and forced activation of p38 in primed mEpiSCs partially reproduced the naïve cell induction, suggesting that p38 is one of the critical downstream in AMPK activation. Single cell RNA-seq analysis under AICAR stimulation successfully demonstrated the reversion process with appearance of intermediate naïve-like population. AMPK pathway should be a novel critical driving force in reversion of primed to naïve pluripotency.

Project description:Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid isolated from many medicinal herbs such as Coptis chinensis, has a wide range of pharmacological effects. Here, we used gene expression microarray to analyze gene expression profiles of HepG2 human hepatoma cell line after berberine chloride treatment or 0.08% DMSO as control. Comparing gene expression profiles of 40 M-BM-5M-BM--M berberine-treated HepG2 human hepatoma cell line to those of control cells sampled after 4 hours treatment. A 50 mM stock solution of Berberine chloride was prepared in DMSO. Cells were treated with 40 M-BM-5M-BM--M berberine chloride or 0.08% DMSO as control.

Project description:Normal aging can result in a decline of memory and muscle function. Exercise may prevent or delay these changes. However, aging associated frailty may preclude physical activity. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a transcriptional regulator important for muscle physiology. In the present study we investigated effects of AMPK agonist 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside (AICAR) on memory and motor function in young (2-month-old), aged (23-month-old) C57Bl/6 mice, and transgenic mice with muscle-specific mutated AMPK alpha-subunit (AMPK-DN). Mice were injected with AICAR (500 mg/kg) for 3 to 14 days and tested in the Morris water maze, rotarod and open field. Improved water maze performance and motor function was observed, albeit at longer duration of administration, in aged (14 days AICAR) than young (3 days AICAR) mice. In the AMPKDN mice, the compound did not enhance behavior, providing support for a muscle mediated mechanism. In addition, microarray analysis of muscle and hippocampal tissue derived from aged mice treated with AICAR revealed changes in gene expression in both tissues, which correlated with behavioral effects in a dose-dependent manner. Pronounced up-regulation of mitochondrial genes in muscle was observed. In the hippocampus genes relevant to neuronal development and plasticity were enriched. Altogether, endurance related factors may mediate both muscle and brain health in aging, and could play a role in new therapeutic interventions.

Mice were injected intraperitoneally with 5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-a-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR, Toronto Research Chemicals Inc., Canada) dissolved in saline, 500 mg/kg/day for 3 (ACR3), 7 (ACR7) or 14 (ACR14) days or saline vehicle, for 3 (CTR) days. Thirty-three days after the final injection animals were deeply anesthetized with isofluorane and perfused transcardially with 0.9% NaCl solution. The gastrocnemius muscle and Hippocampus were quickly removed, frozen on dry ice and stored at M-bM-^HM-^R80 M-BM-0C for RNA isolation and microarray analysis.
