Project description:To elucidate the mechanisms by which Nrf2 regulates cell growth, we performed global gene expression profiling of A549 lung cancer cells with knockdown of Nrf2. Gene networks associated with carbohydrate metabolism and drug metabolism were significantly downregulated in Nrf2-depleted A549 cells. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis revealed significant enrichment of genes associated with carbohydrate catabolic processes, positive regulation of metabolic processes, PPP, and arachidonic acid metabolism. In summary, this analysis revealed that Nrf2 positively regulates transcription of genes that play key roles in central carbon metabolism. A549 cells were transfected with non targeting NS siRNA or siRNA targeting Nrf2. Mock transfected A549 cells were treated with transfection reagent alone. We had 3 biological replicates for each of the 3 groups. Ninty six hours post transfection, cells were lysed and total RNA was isolated.

Project description:To characterize gene expression changes in arachidonic acid metabolism pathway genes in the presense of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) mice administered were administered an atherogenic diet for a period of four weeks. Administration of the atherogenic diet resulted in significant enrichment of the arachidonic acid metabolism pathway by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). The core enrichment subset of genes was down-regulated in mice administered the atherogenic diet and the majority of the genes that were down-regulated were cytochrome P450s. A total of 4 wild-type mice were administered a standard diet (STD; control group) and 4 wild-type mice were administered a HFHC diet (HFHC).

Project description:To examine the role of NRF2 in accelerating cell proliferation and to identify the target genes responsible for this function, transcriptome analysis was performed using A549 cells, in which NRF2 is constitutively activated. NRF2 was knocked down by siRNA against NRF2, and the gene expression profile was compared with that of A549 cells treated with control siRNA. To exclude off-target effects, three different siRNAs against NRF2 was independently applied. NRF2 siRNA or control siRNA was transfected into A549 cells. Cells were harvested 24 hours after transfection, and total RNA was purified.

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a crucial regulator of immune cell activation but how systemic metabolism influences immune cell metabolism and function remains to be investigated. To investigate the effect of dyslipidemia on immune cell metabolism, we performed in-depth transcriptional, metabolic and functional characterization of macrophages isolated from hypercholesterolemic mice. Systemic metabolic changes in such mice alter cellular macrophage metabolism and attenuate inflammatory macrophage responses. In addition to diminished maximal mitochondrial respiration, hypercholesterolemia reduces the LPS-mediated induction of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and the Nrf2-mediated oxidative stress response. Our observation that suppression of the PPP diminishes LPS-induced cytokine secretion supports the notion that this pathway contributes to inflammatory macrophage responses. Overall, this study reveals that systemic and cellular metabolism are strongly interconnected, together dictating macrophage phenotype and function.

Project description:Epigenetic and metabolic reprogrammings are implicated in cancer progression with unclear mechanisms. We report here that the histone methyltransferase NSD2 drives cancer cell and tumor resistance to therapeutics such as tamoxifen, doxorubicin, and radiation by reprogramming of glucose metabolism. NSD2 coordinately up-regulates expression of TIGAR, HK2 and G6PD and stimulates pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) production of NADPH for ROS reduction. We discover that elevated expression of TIGAR, previously characterized as a fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, is localized in the nuclei of resistant tumor cells where it stimulates NSD2 expression and global H3K36me2 mark. Mechanistically, TIGAR interacts with the antioxidant regulator Nrf2 and facilitates chromatin assembly of Nrf2-H3K4me3 methylase MLL1 and elongating Pol-II, independent of its metabolic enzymatic activity. In human tumors, high levels of NSD2 correlate strongly with early recurrence and poor survival and are associated with nuclear-localized TIGAR. This study defines a nuclear TIGAR-mediated, epigenetic autoregulatory loop functioning in redox rebalance for resistance to tumor therapeutics. A total of 4 samples were analyzed in this study. The study included two cell lines, MCF7 and the tamoxifen-resistant subline TMR. Both were were cultured in medium containing vehicle control and/or 4-hydroxytamoxifen (Tam). The untreated MCF7 and TMR cell lines served as controls for the study.

Project description:The circadian clock is a ubiquitous timekeeping system that organizes the behavior and physiology of organisms over the day and night. The clockwork orchestrates a multitude of metabolic processes as illustrated by previous global transcriptomics and proteomics studies, and the existence of daily rhythms of reduction and oxidation (redox) in a range of diverse species. However, the reciprocal question of whether metabolism can alter the clockwork remains largely unaddressed. Here we identify the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), a critical source of cellular reducing power in the form of NADPH, as an important modulator of circadian oscillations. We show that genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of the PPP perturbs circadian gene expression and metabolic rhythms in human cells. Pharmacologic inhibition of the PPP caused similar effects in mouse tissues, and altered the pattern of rhythmic behavior in Drosophila. These manipulations also altered genome wide DNA-binding activity of the circadian transcription factors BMAL1 and CLOCK through a mechanism likely involving the redox-sensitive histone acetyltransferase p300. Thus, disruption of the PPP regulates circadian rhythms via modulation of NADPH metabolism, highlighting redox reactions as a novel connector of metabolic cycles and transcriptional oscillations in nucleated cells.

Project description:Depletion of Nrf2 leads to an increase in cellular ROS, reduced glutathione and thiols, and profound reprogramming of metabolism. Unbiased transcriptome analyses show that key enzymes of glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, and glutathione cycle are significantly downregulated, while enzymes of arginine and medium-chain fatty acids metabolism are upregulated. Besides glutamine, pancreatic cancer cells deficient of Nrf2 axis become highly dependent on arginine, which is channelled into the synthesis of phosphocreatine and polyamines. Key enzymes of the creatine pathway, gatm and ckb, are more expressed and more active in Nrf2(-/-) than in WT cells. This metabolism shift creates an energy buffer that enables pancreatic cancer cells to handle increased energy demand. Metabolomic analysis showed that 12% of the creatine pool is phosphorylated in Nrf2(-/-) cells, while the level drops to < 0.1% in WT cells. The inhibition of the creatine pathway with cyclocreatine in Nrf2(-/-) cells, reduces by 43% the ATP level and by 70% invasion rate in matrigel. Furthermore, we found that combination therapies that can target simultaneously the creatine pathway and the KRAS G12D-Nrf2 axis produce a stronger anticancer effect than monotherapies. Taken together, our data provide the basis for the rationale design of new combination therapies against pancreatic cancer. The KRAS G12D-Nrf2 axis controls redox homeostasis and metabolism in PDAC cells. Suppression of KRAS G12D-Nrf2 decreases glycolysis, PPP and glutathione cycle and promotes a metabolic shift of arginine into the synthesis of phosphocreatine

Project description:The transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) induces cytoprotective genes, but has also been linked to the regulation of hepatic energy metabolism. In order to assess the pharmacological potential of hepatic Nrf2 activation in metabolic disease, Nrf2 was activated over 8 weeks in mice on Western diet using two different siRNAs against kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), the inhibitory protein of Nrf2. Whole genome expression analysis followed by pathway analysis demonstrated that the suppression of Keap1 expression induced genes that are involved in anti-oxidative stress defense and biotransformation, pathways proving the activation of Nrf2 by the siRNAs against Keap1. The expression of neither fatty acid- nor carbohydrate-handling proteins was regulated by the suppression of Keap1. Metabolic profiling of the animals did also not show effects on plasma and hepatic lipids, energy expenditure or glucose tolerance by the activation of Nrf2. The data indicate that hepatic Nrf2 is not a major regulator of intermediary metabolism in mice. Gene expression profile of mouse liver samples from 8-week-old male C57BL6/J mice (N=24) treated with liver-selective Keap1-specific siRNA (group 1: siKeap1-1, N=8; group 2: siKeap1-2, N=8) or unspecific scrambled control siRNA (group 3: siControl, N=8)

Project description:Background: Nrf2 is an essential cytoprotective transcription factor. However, association of Nrf2 in organ development and neonatal disease is rarely examined. Hyperoxia exposure to newborn rodents generates pulmonary phenotypes which resemble bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) of prematurity. Methods: To investigate the role of Nrf2 in lung maturation and BPD pathogenesis, Nrf2-deficient (Nrf2-/-) and wild-type (Nrf2+/+) neonates were exposed to air or hyperoxia (O2). Transcriptome analysis determined Nrf2-directed mechanisms in premature lung. Lung injury was assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage analysis and histopathology. Results: In Nrf2-/- neonates, basal expression of cell cycle machinery, redox balance, and lipid/carbohydrate metabolism genes were suppressed while immunity genes were overexpressed compared to Nrf2+/+ pups. O2-induced mortality and pulmonary inflammation/injury were significantly higher in Nrf2-/- than in Nrf2+/+. Lung DNA lesion and oxidation were greater in Nrf2-/- than in Nrf2+/+, constitutively and after O2. Nrf2-dependent genes modulated cellular growth/proliferation, defense, immunity, and lipid metabolism against hyperoxia. Bioinformatic elucidation of Nrf2 binding motifs and augmented O2-induced inflammation in genetically deficient neonates validated Gpx2 and Marco as Nrf2 effectors. Conclusion: Overall, Nrf2 in underdeveloped lungs orchestrated cell cycle, morphogenesis, and immunity as well as cellular defense constitutively and under oxidant stress. Results provide putative molecular mechanisms of Nrf2-directed lung alveolarization and BPD of prematurity. PARALLEL study design with 42 samples comparing 14 groups of age (P1 to P4 corresponding to day 0 to day 3 animals), gene, and exposure: (4 groups Nrf+/+ wild type P1-P4 air exposure) (4 groups Nrf -/- knockout P1-P4 air exposure), (3 groups Nrf+/+ wild type P2-P4 with 100 percent O2 (hyperoxia exposure) and 3 groupsNrf -/- knockout P2-P4 with 100 percent O2 (hyperoxia exposure)) Biological replicates: 3 per group
