GSK-3β inhibition promotes engraftment of ex vivo expanded hematopoietic stem cells

ABSTRACT: Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) has been recently identified as an important regulator of stem cell function. In vitro studies show that GSK-3β inhibition delays proliferation of human haematopoietic progenitor cells while increasing numbers of late dividing multipotent progenitors. Gene expression analysis revealed that GSK-3β inhibition modulates the expression of a subset of genes that are transcriptional targets for cytokines. GSK-3β inhibition antagonised down-regulation of genes encoding cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p57 and a member of the growth arrest and DNA damage 45 family, GADD45B as well as up-regulation of cyclin D1 by cytokines, providing a possible mechanism for the BIO-induced delay in cell cycle progression. Surprisingly, inhibition of GSK-3β earlier shown to prevent β-catenin degradation and promote the nuclear accumulation of β-catenin was not sufficient to activate its transcriptional targets in haematopoietic stem cells. GSK-3β inhibition up-regulated the expression of a several positive regulators of stem cell function suppressed during cytokine-induced proliferation. The data supports a clinical role for GSK-3β inhibition to improve engraftment efficiency of ex vivo expanded stem cells.

GSK-3Î² inhibition promotes engraftment of ex vivo expanded hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:Glycogen synthase kinase-3Î² (GSK-3Î²) has been recently identified as an important regulator of stem cell function. In vitro studies show that GSK-3Î² inhibition delays proliferation of human haematopoietic progenitor cells while increasing numbers of late dividing multipotent progenitors. Gene expression analysis revealed that GSK-3Î² inhibition modulates the expression of a subset of genes that are transcriptional targets for cytokines. GSK-3Î² inhibition antagonised down-regulation of genes encoding cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p57 and a member of the growth arrest and DNA damage 45 family, GADD45B as well as up-regulation of cyclin D1 by cytokines, providing a possible mechanism for the BIO-induced delay in cell cycle progression. Surprisingly, inhibition of GSK-3Î² earlier shown to prevent Î²-catenin degradation and promote the nuclear accumulation of Î²-catenin was not sufficient to activate its transcriptional targets in haematopoietic stem cells. GSK-3Î² inhibition up-regulated the expression of a several positive regulators of stem cell function suppressed during cytokine-induced proliferation. The data supports a clinical role for GSK-3Î² inhibition to improve engraftment efficiency of ex vivo expanded stem cells. Total RNA was isolated from three groups following expansion of CD34+ cells in cytokikes and then treatment with BIO, as described below.

9-ING-41, a small molecule inhibitor of GSK-3β, potentiates the effects of chemotherapy in KRAS mutated colorectal cancer

Project description:Despite the prevalence of KRAS mutations in colorectal cancer, there is no K-Ras targeted therapies for these tumors and available treatment options are limited for metastatic disease. GSK-3β has been demonstrated to be a critically important kinase for survival and proliferation of K-Ras-depended pancreatic cancer cells. In this study we tested 9-ING-41, a small molecule inhibitor of GSK-3β, in patient-derived tumor organoid models of colorectal cancer. We demonstrated that addition of 9-ING-41 to the standard of care drugs 5-FU and oxaliplatin could significantly enhance inhibition of the growth of colorectal cancer cells harboring KRAS mutations. The results of the transcriptomic analysis support our findings of cell cycle arrest and DNA repair deficiency in 9-ING-41-treated colorectal cancer cells. Moreover, we found substantial similarity in the changes of transcriptomic profile after inhibition of GSK-3β and suppression of STK33, another critically important kinase for K-Ras-dependent cells. Overall, the results of this study provide a rationale for the inclusion of patients with mutant KRAS colorectal cancer in clinical studies of 9-ING-41 and other GSK-3 inhibitors.

Massive Expansion of Functional Human iPSC-derived Cardiomyocytes by Concomitant Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 Beta Inhibition and Removal of Cell-Cell Contact

Project description:Modulating signaling pathways including Wnt and Hippo can induce cardiomyocyte proliferation in vivo. Applying these signaling modulators to human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) in vitro can expand CMs only to modest extent (< 5-fold). Here, we demonstrate massive expansion of hiPSC-CMs in vitro (i.e. 100-250-fold) by glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) inhibition using CHIR99021 and concurrent removal of cell-cell contact. We show GSK-3β inhibition suppresses CM maturation while contact removal prevents CMs from cell cycle exit. Remarkably, contact removal enabled 10-to-25-times greater expansion beyond GSK-3β inhibition alone. Mechanistically, cell cycle re-activation required both LEF/TCF activity and AKT phosphorylation, but it was independent from Yes associated protein (YAP) activity. Engineered heart tissues from expanded hiPSC-CMs showed the comparable contractility to those from unexpanded hiPSC-CMs, demonstrating uncompromised cellular functionality after expansion. In sum, we uncovered a molecular interplay that enables massive expansion hiPSC-CMs for large-scale drug screening and tissue engineering.

Secretory Leukocyte Peptidase Inhibitor (SLPI) is a Novel Predictor of Tubulointerstitial Injury and Renal Outcome in Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy

Project description:Tubulointerstitial injury plays an important role in diabetic nephropathy (DN) progression; however, no reliable urinary molecule has been used to predict tubulointerstitial injury and renal outcome of DN clinically. In this study, based on tubulointerstitial transcriptome, we identified secretory leukocyte peptidase inhibitor (SLPI) as the molecule associated with renal fibrosis and prognosis of DN. In tubular cells, high glucose could upregulate SLPI, which bound with β-catenin and GSK-3β reciprocally, abolished the interaction between β-catenin and GSK-3β, diminished GSK-3β-regulated β-catenin phosphorylation and the subsequent ubiquitination and degradation, thus led to β-catenin signaling activation and renal fibrosis. Db/db mice injected with adenovirus carrying Slpi-3xflag-GFP (Ad-Slpi-GFP) developed β-catenin signaling activation in the proximal tubule, worse albuminuria and tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Conversely, Slpi knockout (KO) mice with STZ-induced DN developed less albuminuria, tubulointerstitial fibrosis and β-catenin signaling activation. Furthermore, clinical studies showed that urinary SLPI protein level (uSLPI/Cr) had significant correlation with intrarenal SLPI mRNA and interstitial fibrosis. In an independent prospective cohort enrolled 711 patients with biopsy proven DN, uSLPI/Cr level was significantly associated with eGFR slope and improved the prediction value of renal outcome. Together, our study identified SLPI as a novel critical regulator for the progression of tubulointerstitial injury, which may be used as an independent risk predictor of DN progression.

The role of Wnt/β‐catenin pathway mediators in aortic valve stenosis

Project description:Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is a prevailing and life-threatening cardiovascular disease in adults over 75 years of age. However, the molecular mechanisms governing the pathogenesis of AVS are yet to be fully unraveled. With accumulating evidence that Wnt signaling plays a key role in the development of AVS, the involvement of intracellular Wnt molecules has become an integral study target in AVS pathogenesis. Thus, we hypothesized that the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway Wnt intracellular mediators, SFRP2, DVL2, GSK3β and β‐catenin are dysregulated in patients with AVS. Using immunohistochemistry, Real‐Time qPCR and Western blotting, we investigated the presence of SFRP2, GSK‐3β, DVL2 and β‐catenin in normal and stenotic human aortic valves. Markedly higher mRNA and protein expression of GSK‐3β, DVL2, β‐catenin and SFRP2 were found in stenotic aortic valves. This was further corroborated by observation of their abundant immunostaining, which displayed strong immunoreactivity in diseased aortic valves. Proteomic analyses of selective GSK3b inhibition in calcifying human aortic valve interstitial cells (HAVICs) revealed enrichment of proteins involved organophosphate metabolism, while reducing the activation of pathogenic biomolecular processes. Lastly, use of the potent calcification inhibitor, Fetuin A, in calcifying HAVICs significantly reduced the expression of Wnt signaling genes Wnt3a, Wnt5a, Wnt5b and Wnt11. The current findings of altered expression of canonical Wnt signaling in AVS suggest a possible role for regulatory Wnts in AVS. Hence, future studies focused on targeting these molecules are warranted to underline their role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Nuclear GSK-3β and Oncogenic KRas Promote Aqp5+ Pancreatic Duct Stem Cell Expansion

Project description:Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) represents the most commonly diagnosed precursor lesion of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), however the cell-of-origin remains unclear. Herein, we show that pancreas-specific activation in mice of nuclear-targeted glycogen synthase kinase-3β and oncogenic KRasG12D leads to the loss of acinar cells, the expansion of ductal cells, and the rapid development of IPMN with low-grade dysplasia. RNA-sequencing identified the expression of several ductal stem cell lineage genes including the water channel AQP5. The Aqp5+ pancreatic ductal cell pool was proliferative, phenotypically distinct from mature pancreatic ductal cells, and deletion of AQP5 limited IPMN development. Significantly, Aqp5 is highly expressed in human IPMN along with GSK-3b suggesting that human preneoplastic lesions likely arise from the expansion of an Aqp5+ pancreatic ductal stem cell. Altogether, these data identify Aqp5+ ductal cells in the mouse and human pancreas as the likely cell-of-origin for IPMN.

Deficient LEF1 expression is associated with lithium resistance and hyperexcitability in neurons derived from bipolar disorder patients

Project description:Bipolar disorder (BD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by depressive and manic episodes that affect 2% of the world population. The first-line long-term treatment for mood stabilization is lithium (Li). Induced pluripotent stem cell modeling of BD using hippocampal dentate gyrus-like neurons derived from Li responsive (LR) and Li non-responsive (NR) patients previously showed neuronal hyperexcitability. Li treatment reversed hyperexcitability only on LR neurons. In this study we searched for specific targets of Li resistance in NR neurons and found that the activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was severely affected, with a significant decrease in expression of LEF1. Li targets the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by inhibiting GSK-3β and releasing β-catenin that forms a nuclear complex with TCF/LEF1, activating the Wnt/β-catenin transcription program. Therefore, we propose that downregulation of LEF1 may account for Li resistance in NR neurons. Our results show that valproic acid (VPA), a drug used to treat NR patients that also acts downstream of GSK-3β, upregulated LEF1 and Wnt/β-catenin gene targets, increased transcriptional activity of complex β-catenin/TCF/LEF1 and reduced excitability in NR neurons. Additionally, decreasing LEF1 expression in control neurons using shLEF1 caused hyperexcitability, confirming that the impact of VPA on excitability in NR neurons was connected to changes in LEF1 and in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Our results suggest that LEF1 may be a useful target for the discovery of new drugs for BD treatment.
