Mastication stimuli enhance the learning ability of weaning-stage rats

ABSTRACT: The mastication stimuli during the weaning period can enhance the learning ability of rats by increasing the dendrite branches of hippocampal CA1 neurons and by regulating genes related to dendrite growth. Using DNA microarray analysis, differentially expressed genes were enriched in functional terms related to dendrite growth and included the Igf2, RhoA, and Rho GEF genes, most of which were upregulated in the chow diet group.

Mastication stimuli regulate the heart beat rate through the rhythmic regulation by hypothalamic-autonomic system in the weaning stage rat

Project description:Using DNA microarray analysis, vasopressin, cocaine-amphetamine regulated transcript prepropeptide, corticotropin releasing hormone, and thyrotropin releasing hormone, all of which are involved in the sympathetic activation of heart rate, were found to be down-regulated in the chow diet group. Our results provided the molecular and physiological bases for understanding the autonomic nervous regulation of cardiovascular function by the mastication stimuli.

Short-term mastication after weaning upregulates GABAergic signalling and reduces dendritic spine in thalamus

Project description:Mastication enhances brain function and even mental health, but little is known molecular basis underlying the effects of chewing on neural development in early childhood we conducted experiment with rats fed a with soft or hard chow diet immediately after weaning and investigated the expression of genes were investigated after another 8 days of breeding. These results suggest that mastication in the early developing period upregulates GABAergic signaling genes, with a decrease of spine pruning in thalamus

Lfc phospho-proteome (Lfc subcellular localization and activity is controlled by αv-class integrin)

Project description:Fibronectin (FN)-binding integrins control a variety of cellular responses through Rho GTPases. The FN-binding integrins, αvβ3 and α5β1, are known to induce different effects on cell morphology and motility. Here we report that FN-bound αvβ3 integrin, but not FN-bound α5β1 integrin, triggers the dissociation of the RhoA GEF Lfc (GEF-H1 in humans) from microtubules (MT), leading to the activation of RhoA, formation of stress fibres and maturation of focal adhesions (FAs). Conversely, loss of Lfc expression decreases RhoA activity, stress fibre formation and FA size, suggesting that Lfc is the major GEF downstream of FN-bound αvβ3 that controls RhoA activity. Mechanistically, FN-engaged αvβ3 integrin activates a kinase cascade involving MARK2/3, which in turn leads to phosphorylation of several phospho-sites on Lfc. In particular, S151 was identified as the main site involved in the regulation of Lfc localization and activity. Our findings indicate that activation of Lfc/RhoA is orchestrated in FN-adherent cells in an integrin-specific manner

Dendrite intercalation between epidermal cells tunes nociceptor sensitivity to mechanical stimuli in Drosophila larvae

Project description:An animal’s skin provides a first point of contact with the sensory environment, including noxious cues that elicit protective behavioral responses. Nociceptive somatosensory neurons densely innervate and intimately interact with epidermal cells to receive these cues, however the mechanisms by which epidermal interactions shape processing of noxious inputs is still poorly understood. Here, we identify a role for dendrite intercalation between epidermal cells in tuning sensitivity of Drosophila larvae to noxious mechanical stimuli. In wild-type larvae, dendrites of nociceptive class IV da neurons intercalate between epidermal cells at apodemes, which function as body wall muscle attachment sites, but not at other sites in the epidermis. From a genetic screen we identified miR-14 as a regulator of dendrite positioning in the epidermis: miR-14 is expressed broadly in the epidermis but not in apodemes, and miR-14 inactivation leads to excessive apical dendrite intercalation between epidermal cells. We found that miR-14 regulates expression and distribution of the epidermal Innexins ogre and Inx2 and that these epidermal gap junction proteins restrict epidermal dendrite intercalation. Finally, we found that altering the extent of epidermal dendrite intercalation had corresponding effects on nociception: increasing epidermal intercalation sensitized larvae to noxious mechanical inputs and increased mechanically evoked calcium responses in nociceptive neurons, whereas reducing epidermal dendrite intercalation had the opposite effects. Altogether, these studies identify epidermal dendrite intercalation as a mechanism for mechanical coupling of nociceptive neurons to the epidermis, with nociceptive sensitivity tuned by the extent of intercalation.

Hypoxia inhibits HUNK-mediated phosphorylation of GEF-H1 for epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition

Project description:Hypoxia regulates epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cancer cells. However, the mechanism underlying hypoxia-mediated EMT remains largely unknow. Here, utilizing colorectal cell carcinoma (CRC) as a model, we find that HUNK inhibits EMT and suppresses metastasis of CRC cells via its substrate GEF-H1 in a kinase-dependent manner. Mechanistically, HUNK directly phosphorylates GEF-H1 at ser645 site, which activates RhoA and consequently leads to a cascade of phosphorylation of LIMK1/CFL-1, thereby stabilizing F-actin and inhibiting EMT. Moreover, hypoxia suppresses HUNK activity and dephosphorylates GEF-H1 to promote EMT. Clinically, the expression levels of both HUNK and phosphorylation of GEH-H1 ser645 are not only downregulated in CRC tissues with metastasis compared to that without metastasis, but also positively correlated among these tissues. Our findings highlight the importance of hypoxia-regulated HUNK kinase activity and phosphorylation of GEF-H1 in regulation of EMT and metastasis of CRC.

FoxM1 insufficiency hyperactivates Ect2-RhoA-mDia1 signaling to drive cancer

Project description:FoxM1 activates genes that regulate S-G2-M cell-cycle progression and, when overexpressed, is associated with poor clinical outcome in multiple cancers. Here we identify FoxM1 as a tumor suppressor in mice that, through its N-terminal domain, binds to and inhibits Ect2 to limit the activity of RhoA GTPase and its effector mDia1, a catalyst of cortical actin nucleation. FoxM1 insufficiency impedes centrosome movement through excessive cortical actin polymerization, thereby causing the formation of non-perpendicular mitotic spindles that missegregate chromosomes and drive tumorigenesis in mice. Importantly, low FOXM1 expression correlates with RhoA GTPase hyperactivity in multiple human cancer types, indicating that suppression of the newly discovered Ect2-RhoA-mDia1 oncogenic axis by FoxM1 is clinically relevant. Furthermore, by dissecting the domain requirements through which FoxM1 inhibits Ect2 GEF activity, we provide mechanistic insight for the development of pharmacological approaches that target protumorigenic RhoA activity.

Autism-linked Cullin3 germline haploinsufficiency severely impacts mouse brain development and cortical neurogenesis through RhoA signaling

Project description:E3-ubiquitin ligase Cullin3 (Cul3) is a high confidence risk gene for Neurodevelopmental Disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Developmental Delay (DD). This study identifies the impact of the ASD-associated de novo Cul3-mutation on brain anatomy, behavior, molecular, cellular, and circuit-level mechanisms during early neocortical development. We report that Cul3 mutant mice have microcephaly and severe brain structure defects. This mouse model exhibits social and cognitive deficits and hyperactivity behavior. Spatiotemporal transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of Cul3 mouse brain implicates neurogenesis and cytoskeletal defects as key drivers of Cul3 functional effect. We show that Cul3 is critical for neuron growth and development. Cultured cortical neurons from the mutant mice have reduced dendritic length, actin cytosketon defects, reduced network activity, and increased cell death. At the molecular level, we implicate upregulation of small GTPase RhoA, involved in regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics, and neurite outgrowth as one of the pathways impacted by the de novo Cul3 mutations in ASD. Treatment with small molecule RhoA inhibitor Rhosin rescues dendrite length phenotype and implicates RhoA pathway in ASD.

IL-8 Confers Acquired Resistance to EGFR Inhibitors through Regulating Stem Cell-like Properties in Lung Cancer

Project description:Previous study has demonstrated that PC9/gef cells are resistant to gefitinib-induced aspoptosis. To investigate the regulators contributed to gefitinib resistance in lung cancer, we analyzed the gene expression profiles between PC9 and PC9/gef cells. Our results showed that IL-8 contributes to gefitinib resistance and cancer stemness. In contrast, IL-8 knockdown decreased stem-like characteristics and increased gefitinib-induced apoptosis in PC9/gef cells. RNAs extracted from gefitinib-sensitive PC9 cells and gefitinib-resistant PC9/gef cells were hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. We tried to compare the differential gene expression profiles between PC9 and PC9/gef cells to identify the possible regulators in gefitinib resistance.
