Gene expression profiling of tunicamycin-induced ER stress in HepG2 hepatoma cells

ABSTRACT: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, a disruption of ER homeostasis, is involved in the pathophysiology of several human diseases, including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). MASLD, formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is characterized by an excessive accumulation of hepatic lipids. To characterize ER stress-induced changes in the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism, HepG2 human hepatoma cells were exposed to tunicamycin, followed by transcriptome profiling. Among genes involved in lipid biosynthesis, GPAT3 was strongly activated by tunicamycin while many other genes involved in this process (e.g., DGAT2, AGPAT2, AGPAT3, GPAT1, DGAT1 and GPAT4) were downregulated. Since GPAT proteins catalyze rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of glycerophospholipids and triglycerides, the unique expression pattern of GPAT3 potentially links it to ER stress-associated accumulation of lipids in hepatic cells.

Nuclear receptor LRH-1/NR5A2 is required and targetable for liver endoplasmic reticulum stress resolution.

Project description:Chronic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress results in toxicity that contributes to multiple human disorders. We report a stress resolution pathway initiated by the nuclear receptor LRH-1 that is independent of known unfolded protein response (UPR) pathways. Like mice lacking primary UPR components, hepatic Lrh-1-null mice cannot resolve ER stress, despite a functional UPR. In response to ER stress, LRH-1 induces expression of the kinase Plk3, which phosphorylates and activates the transcription factor ATF2. Plk3-null mice also cannot resolve ER stress, and restoring Plk3 expression in Lrh-1-null cells rescues ER stress resolution. Reduced or heightened ATF2 activity also sensitizes or desensitizes cells to ER stress, respectively. LRH-1 agonist treatment increases ER stress resistance and decreases cell death. We conclude that LRH-1 initiates a novel pathway of ER stress resolution that is independent of the UPR, yet equivalently required. Targeting LRH-1 may be beneficial in human disorders associated with chronic ER stress. 24 total samples. One sample represents one mouse. Three samples were analyzed from the following groups: Lrh-1 f/f (control littermates) treated with vehicle, Lrh-1 f/f treated with tunicamycin (TM; 1mg/kg BW for 24h), Lrh-1 f/f treated with tunicamycin and DLPC (100mg/kg BW 4x), Lrh-1 f/f treated with tunicamycin and vehicle for DLPC, Lrh-1 liver-specific KO mice (LKO) treated with vehicle, Lrh-1 LKO treated with tunicamycin, and Lrh-1 LKO treated with tunicamycin and DLPC, Lrh-1 LKO treated with tunicamycin and vehicle for DLPC

Effects of stress of the endoplasmic reticulum on gene expression in the bovine liver cell model BHF12

Project description:Previous studies have demonstrated that high-yielding dairy cows experience endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the liver during early lactation. To date, most insights into the role of ER stress in metabolism and disease pathophysiology have been derived from rodent and human models. In dairy cattle, however, the specific impact of ER stress on metabolic pathways and its contribution to disease development remain insufficiently characterized. The objective of this study was therefore to investigate the molecular effects of ER stress using a bovine liver cell model (BHF12 cells). ER stress was induced by incubation with Tunicamycin (TM) and Thapsigargin (TG). Molecular responses to ER stress were assessed via whole-genome array analysis and PCR targeting genes involved in selected metabolic pathways. Incubation with both ER stress inducers resulted in a marked upregulation of genes associated with the unfolded protein response within a 4 to 24-hour time frame. Unexpectedly, treatment with TM led to a downregulation of numerous genes involved in lipid biosynthesis, including those related to lipogenesis and cholesterol synthesis. Furthermore, incubation with TM and TG induced upregulation of genes involved in fatty acid oxidation and was accompanied by a reduction in intracellular triglyceride concentrations. Genes associated with inflammatory responses were upregulated by both TM and TG, whereas genes encoding antioxidant enzymes were downregulated. Genes involved in ketogenesis remained unchanged. Overall, several effects of ER stress previously described in rodent models could not be replicated in this bovine liver cell system. Extrapolating these findings to dairy cows suggests that while ER stress may contribute to hepatic inflammation, it is unlikely to play a significant role in the development of hepatic lipidosis or ketosis.

Development of miRNA expression signatures of MEFs deficient in a ER stress mediator XBP1 for tunicamycin treatment

Project description:To further development of our miRNA expression approach to ER stress, we have employed miRNA microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify ER stress-responsible ones. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) deficient in a ER stress mediator XBP1 were treated with tunicamycin for 12 or 24 hrs. miRNAs responsible for tunicamycin-treatment for 12hrs in XBP1-dependent manner were extracted. Among them, expression of three miRNAs (miR-23a, miR-27a, miR-24-2) was quantified in the RNA samples from the same as the microarray, and COS7 cells by real-time PCR, confirming existence of similar mechanisms of trancriptional repression in ER stress by tunicamycin treatment. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) deficient in a ER stress mediator XBP1 were treated with 2ug/mL tunicamycin for 12 or 24 hrs. Two independent experiments were performed at each time (untreated, 12 or 24 hrs). miRNAs responsible for tunicamycin-treatment for 12hrs in XBP1-dependent manner were extracted.

Development of mRNA and lincRNA expression signatures of MEFs deficient in ER stress mediators for tunicamycin treatment

Project description:To further development of our mRNA or lincRNA expression approach to ER stress, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify ER stress-responsible genes. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) deficient in each ER stress mediator (XBP1, ATF4, ATF6a or ATF6b) were treated with tunicamycin for 12 or 24 hrs. Genes responsible for tunicamycin in each mediator-dependent manner were extracted and categorized by Gene Ontology. Among them, expression of five ER-related genes (Derl1, Ssr3, Magt1, Bet1 and Mcfd2) was quantified in the RNA samples from COS7 cells by real-time PCR, confirming existence of similar mechanisms of trancriptional activation in ER stress by tunicamycin treatment. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) deficient in each ER stress mediator (XBP1, ATF4, ATF6a or ATF6b) were treated with 2ug/mL tunicamycin for 12 or 24 hrs. Two independent experiments were performed for each mediator-deficient MEF at each time (untreated, 12 or 24 hrs). Genes responsible for tunicamycin in each mediator-dependent manner were extracted and categorized by Gene Ontology in GeneRanker program of Genomatix platform.

Analysis of gene expression changes induced in wild-type or Atf6a-/- mice by treatment with tunicamycin for 34h

Project description:Protein misfolding stress in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) leads to dysregulation of lipid metabolism in the liver, and ER stress is associated with human diseases that are accompanied by hepatic lipid accumulation, including obesity, alcoholism, and viral hepatitis; yet the pathways leading from ER stress to the regulation of lipid metabolism are poorly understood. Working exclusively in vivo, we used a “bottom-up” approach to infer pathways in the genetic regulation of lipid metabolism by the UPR. We used a functional genomics to link gene expression patterns taken from microarray data to the severity and persistence of ER stress, using mice lacking the UPR signaling molecule ATF6α. This approach revealed that functionally related genes clustered into a small number of distinct expression profiles, and that lipid oxidation and efflux were targets for coordinated transcriptional suppression during ER stress.Our results establish a framework for hepatic gene regulation during ER stress. Atf6a-/- or +/+ mice of variable age and gender were injected intraperitoneally with 1 mg/kg tunicamycin or vehicle. 3 separate mice were used in each group. 34h after injection, mice were sacrificed and total RNA was prepared from resected livers.
