Project description:Glucocorticoids are widely used to treat inflammatory disorders. Prolonged use results in side effects including osteoporosis, diabetes and obesity. The selective glucocorticoid receptor (GR) modulator Compound A (CpdA) exhibits an inflammation-suppressive effect, largely in absence of detrimental side effects. To understand the mechanistic differences between the classic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) and CpdA, we looked for proteins oppositely regulated using an unbiased proteomics approach. We found that the autophagy receptor p62 but not GR mediates the anti-inflammatory action of CpdA in macrophages. CpdA drives the upregulation of p62 by recruiting the NRF2 transcription factor to its promoter. Contrarily, the classic GR ligand dexamethasone recruits GR to p62 and other NRF2 controlled gene promoters, resulting in gene downregulation. Both DEX and CpdA are able to induce autophagy, albeit in a cell-type and time-dependent manner. Suppression of LPS-induced IL-6 and MCP1 genes in bone marrow-derived macrophages by CpdA is hampered upon p62 silencing, confirming that p62 is essential for the anti-inflammatory capacity of CpdA. Together, these results demonstrate how off-target mechanisms of selective GR ligands may establish a more efficient anti-inflammatory therapy

Project description:Glucocorticoids are widely used to treat inflammatory disorders; however, prolonged use of glucocorticoids results in side effects including osteoporosis, diabetes and obesity. Compound A (CpdA), identified as a selective NR3C1/glucocorticoid receptor (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1) modulator, exhibits an inflammation-suppressive effect, largely in the absence of detrimental side effects. To understand the mechanistic differences between the classic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) and CpdA, we looked for proteins oppositely regulated in bone marrow-derived macrophages using an unbiased proteomics approach. We found that the autophagy receptor SQSTM1 but not NR3C1 mediates the anti-inflammatory action of CpdA. CpdA drives SQSTM1 upregulation by recruiting the NFE2L2 transcription factor to its promoter. In contrast, the classic NR3C1 ligand dexamethasone recruits NR3C1 to the Sqstm1 promoter and other NFE2L2-controlled gene promoters, resulting in gene downregulation. Both DEX and CpdA induce autophagy, with marked different autophagy characteristics and morphology. Suppression of LPS-induced Il6 and Ccl2 genes by CpdA in macrophages is hampered upon Sqstm1 silencing, confirming that SQSTM1 is essential for the anti-inflammatory capacity of CpdA, at least in this cell type. Together, these results demonstrate how off-target mechanisms of selective NR3C1 ligands may contribute to a more efficient anti-inflammatory therapy.

Project description:Aging contributes to many chronic conditions, including central obesity, insulin resistance and osteoporosis, which are also critical features of glucocorticoid excess. To investigate tissue-specific sites of glucocorticoid (GC) action during aging, we disrupted GC signalling in mouse osteoblasts via transgenic overexpression of the GC-inactivating enzyme, 11β-hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2). Wild-type mice with intact osteoblastic GC signalling developed leptin resistance, obesity and insulin resistance with aging. In contrast, transgenic (HSD2OB-tg) mice remained lean and leptin-sensitive, and were protected against aging-related hyperinsulinaemia, blunted sympathetic responses and loss of thermogenic adipose tissue. These salutary effects were independent of the osteoblast-derived factors osteocalcin and lipocalin-2. Gene expression analysis of bones from HSD2OB-tg mice indicated an early induction of pro-osteogenic and anti-adipogenic factors, and activation of a local pro-inflammatory TLR4-ZBTB16-NR1H3 network in osteoblastic cells. These findings reveal a critical role for skeletal glucocorticoid signaling in central leptin action, and in impaired metabolic function with aging

Project description:We performed RNA-seq on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy human donors treated with interferon alpha 2a (1000IU/mL) +/- dexamethasone 10^-7M, with the aims of studying interactions between IFN and glucocorticoid induced gene expression, as well as identifying potential transcripts that may be used as a glucocorticoid exposure signature in clinical practice in patients with SLE. Transcripts identified from RNA-seq data were analysed in SLE patient data sets to validate clinical utility. We found that dexamethasone minimally impacts on interferon stimulated gene expression however IFN altered gene transcription of many previously reported glucocorticoid induced genes.

Project description:The osteogenic differentiation process consists in a well-coordinated multi-step sequence of events, in which each stage is characterized by the expression of distinct protein markers, as well as by individual morphological features. In order to precisely identify the step at which cells are permissive to MET-driven transformation, we used expression profiling. We compared the transcriptional profiles of MET-HOB and MSC cells where osteoblast differentiation was induced. Using microarrays, we evaluated the expression profiles of MET-HOB and MSC cells where osteoblast differentiation was induced, by culturing cells in the presence of ascorbic acid, α-glycerophosphate and dexamethasone for 7, 14 and 21 days

Project description:To investigate the role of HES1 during glucocorticoid signaling in the liver, we employed whole-genome microarray expressions in liver mRNA extracted from control and Hes1-liver knockout male mice (HESKOL) that had been adrenalectomized to remove endogenous glucocorticoids. RNA isolated from the liver of control and HESKOL animals either untreated or treated with 1mg/kg of synthetic glucocorticoid (dexamethasone) for 6hours. Each group had an n of 3 mice.

Project description:Despite decades of clinical use, mechanisms of glucocorticoid resistance are poorly understood. We treated primary murine T lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALLs) with the glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) alone and in combination with the pan-PI3 kinase inhibitor GDC-0941 and observed a robust response to DEX that was modestly enhanced by GDC-0941. Continuous in vivo treatment invariably resulted in outgrowth of drug-resistant clones, ~30% of which showed markedly reduced glucocorticoid receptor (GR) protein expression. A similar proportion of relapsed human T-ALLs also exhibited low GR protein levels. De novo or pre-existing mutations in the gene encoding GR (Nr3c1) occurred in relapsed clones derived from multiple independent parental leukemias. CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing confirmed that loss of GR expression confers DEX resistance. Exposing drug-sensitive T-ALLs to DEX in vivo altered transcript levels of multiple genes, and this response was attenuated in relapsed T-ALLs. These data implicate reduced GR protein expression as a frequent cause of glucocorticoid resistance in T-ALL.

Project description:Glucocorticoids used in pharmacological doses for the treatment of a variety of medical conditions, and endogenous glucocorticoid excess – Cushing’s syndrome, may result in several adverse effects, but currently there is no clinically useful biomarker of glucocorticoid activity. A three-phase protein biomarker discovery strategy was used. Proteomic biomarker discovery and qualification was conducted on the secretome of ex vivo-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from 6 volunteers, incubated ± dexamethasone 100 ng/mL for 4h and 24h. Untargeted proteomics with label-free quantification (LFQ) was conducted to discover candidate proteins which were quantified using targeted proteomics by a custom multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (MRM-MS) assay. Five proteins were selected for serum measurement by immunoassay in 20 healthy volunteers, with blood drawn at baseline and 12h after 4 mg oral dexamethasone. Paired analysis of the discovery proteomics data (576 and 280 proteins for the 4h and 24h secretomes, respectively) generated a shortlist of candidates which were qualified using MRM-MS to obtain protein level intensity data for 39 proteins. In the validation cohort, 3/5 proteins were dexamethasone-responsive, two significantly decreased: lysozyme C (mean±SEM) – 101±5.5 vs 67±4.4 ng/mL, (P<0.0001); nucleophosmin-1 (median (interquartile range)) – 16.6 (14.4-18.4) vs 14.2 (11.1-17.4) ng/mL, (P<0.01), while high mobility group box 2 (mean±SEM) significantly increased – 819±34 vs 984±60 pg/mL (P<0.01). Using an ex vivo proteomic approach in PBMC, we have identified and verified circulating glucocorticoid-responsive proteins which may have potential as serum biomarkers.
