Project description:We performed a loss-of-function, RNA interference screen to define new therapeutic targets in multiple myeloma, a genetically diverse plasma cell malignancy. Unexpectedly, we discovered that all myeloma lines require caspase-10 for survival, irrespective of their genetic abnormalities. The transcription factor IRF4 induces both caspase-10 and its associated protein cFLIPL in myeloma, generating a protease that does not induce apoptosis but rather blocks an autophagy-dependent cell death pathway. Caspase-10 inhibits autophagy by cleaving the BCL2-interacting protein BCLAF1, itself a strong inducer of autophagy that acts by displacing beclin-1 from BCL2. While myeloma cells require a basal level of autophagy for survival, caspase-10 tempers this response to avoid cell death. Drugs that disrupt this vital balance may have therapeutic potential in myeloma. To generate a gene expression signature of caspase 10 signaling in multiple myeloma, cell lines (SKMM1 n=16, KMS12 n=8 and H929 n=12) were transduced with retroviral vectors expressing either shCasp10-2 or shCasp10-3. Similarly, lymphoma cell lines (OCI-Ly7 n=2 and OCI-Ly19 n=2) were transduced and used as a control. Following puromycin selection, shRNA expression was induced for 24 to 120 hours and gene expression was measured, comparing uninduced (Cy3) to induced (Cy5) cells, using lymphochip microarrays. Biological repeats were performed of H929 and SKMM1 samples.

Project description:Infection with antimony resistant (SbR) but not with sentitive (SbS) Leishmania donovani (LD) gives rise to aggressive pathology in mammalian hosts, the cause of which is far from clear. Some intracellular pathogens exploit autophagy for their own benefit. Here we show that induction of autophagy in normal macrophages (MF) by pharmacological mediators prior to infection with SbRLD (SbRLD-MF) enhanced their growth as compared to untreated MF, unlike SbSLD-MF. Autophagy was evident in SbRLD-MF from electron microscopical studies showing double membrane-bound compartment around amastigote. In SbRLD-MF there is induction of beclin 1, which forms the platform to recruit other interacting molecules to initiate autophagy. Knocking down the beclin 1 transcription factor Nrf2 and subsequent infection with SbRLD showed significantly lower organ parasites as compared to wild type BALB/c mice. Cessation of autophagy in SbRLD-MF at the later stage of infection is coupled with induction of miR-30a, whose binding to 3'UTR of beclin 1 leads to its post-transcriptional attenuation followed by rise in intracellular Ca++ and apoptosis. SbRLD mediated translocation of AP-1 transcription factor to the nucleus induce pri-miR-30a over-expression. Rise in Ca++ causes caspase 8 activtion leading to the cleavage of beclin 1 and initiation of apoptosis in SbRLD-MF. Apoptosis may favor parasite egress for cell to cell transmission. We also found that beclin 1 expression is present in splenocytes of kala-azar patients harbouring SbRLD but not SbSLD. Our results suggest that SbRLD has evolved a unique mechanism for its own benefit which explains, in part, the cause of aggressive pathology. Peritoneal exudate macrophages were isolated from mouse, grown in 60mm plates and infected with Leishmania donovani and total RNA was isolated from cells at 12, 18 and 24 hrs post infection. Leishmania infected macrophage miRNA expression signature was generated. Cells grown on 60mm plates and infected with Leishmania. The main objective of the microarray analysis of mmu-miRNA in antimony resistant and antimony sensitive Leishmania donovani infected macrophages are as follows: 1. To study how the expression of miRNA varies in either antimony resistant or antimony sensitive Leishmania infected macrophages as compared to the normal macrophages as a function of time. LPS was used as control. 2. To study the expression of those miRNAs which are differentially expressed in antimony resistant and antimony sensitive Leishmania infected macrophages at each time point post infection. 3. To identify those miRNAs which are responsible for degradation of autophagy initiating protein beclin 1 mRNA

Project description:macroautophagy/autophagy plays a key role in regulating the balance between cell survival and senescence during the progression of lung cancer. Med23 (also known as Sur2), a protein belonging to an evolutionarily conserved high-molecularmass complex composed of more than 20 distinct subunits, promotes the growth, metastasis , and migration of lung cancer cells and is overexpressed in multiple cancers. However, the function of MED23 in autophagy regulation remains unknown. Here, we observes that MED23 expression is significantly upregulated in a subset of cancer cells and reversely correlated with overall survival rates and clinical stage for lung cancer patients. Mechanistically, MED23 is found to interact with BCLAF1 (BCL-2-associated transcription factor 1, BTF) ,a nuclear protein that can induce apoptosis and autophagy. Moreover, BCLAF1 interacts with the promoter of NUPR1 and downregulates its expression. We further show that BCLAF1 and MED23 depletion inhibits autophagy and induces premature senescence in vitro. Remarkably, the expression of BCLAF1 and MED23 are negatively correlated with NUPR1 in the human lung cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues. Collectively, our data reveal a physical and genetic interaction between BCLAF1 and MED23, suggesting that MED23 constitutes a molecular node in the regulatory network of autophagy and this pathway may be an important therapeutic target in lung cancer.

Project description:miRNAs deregulation contributes to cancer. miR-194-5p is up-regulated by the HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) SAHA, negatively modulating BCL2-associated transcription factor 1 (BCLAF1). We prove that the miR-194-5p/BCLAF1 equilibrium regulates differentiation, survival and self-renewal of normal progenitors and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blasts. This equilibrium is perturbed in AMLs resulting in highly expressed BCLAF1, suppression of miR194-5p, consequently, locking cells into an immature, potentially ‘immortal’ state. HDACis reverse this scenario relocating BCLAF1 from the nucleus to a peri-membrane ring-like cytoplasmic structure, sensitizing the cells to differentiation or apoptosis. miR-194-5p and BCLAF1 are significantly deregulated in a cohort of 60 primary AMLs and get restored by HDACi. Our findings connect responsiveness to treatment to re-instatement of miR-194-5p/BCLAF1 balance. These findings might be exploited for (epi-based) anti-leukemia therapy.

Project description:Chromosomal instability (CIN) is defined by the propensity to acquire structural and/or numerical aberration in the normal cellular karyotype and is often associated with cancer. Autophagy is a catabolic process that leads to the recycling of cellular components that may positively or negatively impact on cancer development and progression, depending on the context. Recent work postulated that the depletion of the pro-autophagic and tumor suppressive protein Beclin 1 triggers CIN by interfering with mitotic chromosome segregation, providing a possible mechanism for how Beclin 1 can act as a tumor suppressor (Fremont et al., PMID: 23478334). Here, we present data supporting the notion that the phenotypes described in Fremont et al., depend on a siRNA off-target effect. The transcriptomic analysis shown here was designed to identify the factor(s) that are responsible for such phenotype. HeLa cells synchronized in mitosis have been transfected in 3 independent experiments with either Beclin 1-ER or Beclin 1-II siRNA. RNA was extracted and subjected to gene expression profiling. Differentially expressed probe sets/genes have been identified between the ER and II siRNA using the moderated t-test from Bioconductor's limma package with the resulting p-values being adjusted for multiple hypothesis testing using the method from Benjamini and Hochberg.

Project description:Autophagy perturbation represents an emerging therapeutic strategy in cancer. The mammalian Hippo pathway is an evolutionary conserved tumor suppressive network, where the kinases LATS1/2 phosphorylate and inactivate oncogenic YAP/TAZ. Here, we demonstrated a pro-survival role of LATS1, but not LATS2, in hepatocellular carcinoma cells in response to sorafenib, a standard care of advanced HCC. Transcriptomic analysis revealed a restrictive role of LATS1 in autophagy regulation in HCC cells. Further, we found that the autophagy regulation by LATS1 was independent of its kinase activity. Instead, LATS1 stabilized autophagy core-machinery component Beclin 1 via promoting a non-canonical form of K27-linked ubiquitination, and consequently, inactive Beclin 1 self-dimer, in a E3 ligase NEDD4 dependent manner. Our study highlights a functional diversity between LATS1 and LATS2 and uncovers a scaffolding role of LATS1 in mediating a cross-talk between Hippo signalling and autophagy in HCC and therapy response.

Project description:The Parkin dependent final elimination of defective mitochondria is halted by loss of the nucleolar DUB USP36. The authors suggest a general failure in autophagy induction due to a decline in Beclin-1 and ATG14 levels. Reduction of the epigenetic mark histone 2B lysine 120 ubiquitination possibly contributes to the observed phenotype.

Project description:FAM46C is a multiple myeloma tumour suppressor whose function is only starting to be elucidated. We recently showed that in multiple myeloma cells FAM46C triggers apoptosis by inhibiting autophagy and altering intracellular trafficking and protein secretion. To date, both a physiological characterization of FAM46C role and assessment of FAM46C-induced phenotypes outside of multiple myeloma are lacking. Preliminary reports suggested an involvement of FAM46C with regulation of viral replication but results were scanty and contradictory. Here, we show that FAM46C is an IFN-stimulated gene and that expression in HEK 293T cells of wt FAM46C but not of its most frequently found mutant variants, inhibits replication of both HIV-1 and HIV-1-derived lentiviruses. We demonstrate that this effect does not require transcriptional regulation and does not depend on inhibition of either global or viral-specific translation, but rather mostly relies on FAM46C-induced deregulation of autophagy, a pathway which we show to be required for efficient lentiviral production. These studies not only provide new insights on the physiological role of the FAM46C protein but could also help implementing more efficient antiviral strategies.
