Project description:Oncogenic Ras induces epidermal cell growth arrest. Induction of the JNK/Ap1 signaling cascade by expression of MKK7 overcomes Ras-induced cell growth arrest in a manner dependent on AP1 fucntion. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in response to MKK7, Ras activation and AP1 inhibition Experiment Overall Design: To study the gene expression profile responsive to Ras and MKK7 expression. We used retroviral expression system to express LacZ, MKK7, Ras, DNc-Jun, MKK7+Ras, and MKK7+Ras +DNc-Jun in primary human keratinocytes, and then extract total RNA from the transduced cells for gene expression analysis.

Project description:Cordyceps participates in various pharmacological activities including anti-tumor, and is involved in the regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway. However, the detailed role of cordycepin in suppression of NF-κB signaling pathway is less clear. In this study, we first analyzed the effect of cordyceps on NF-κB activity in TK-10 cells, and found that cordyceps resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation. Here, we show that cordyceps mediated NF-kB inhibition induces apoptosis in TK-10 cells involved the serial activation of caspases. Moreover, we demonstrate that in addition to activating caspases, the cordyceps negatively modulates TNF-α-mediated NF-κB signaling to promote JNK activation, which results in apoptosis, and that NF-kB regulates antiapoptotic factor GADD45b and the JNK kinase MKK7. When the TNFα cytokine binds to the TNF receptor, IκB dissociates from NF-κB. As a result, the active NF-κB translocates to the nucleus. Cordyceps clearly prevented NF-κB from mobilizing to the nucleus, resulting in downregulation of GADD45b, whereas upregulation of MKK7 and phosphorylation of JNK (p-JNK). This increased Bax activation, leading to marked cordyceps-induced apoptosis. Bax subfamily proteins induced apoptosis through caspase-3. Furthermore, siRNA mediated inhibition of MKK7 downregulated p-JNK and The JNK inhibitor SP600125 strongly inhibited Bax. Thus, these results indicate that cordyceps inhibits NF-κB/GADD45b signaling activation to upregulate MKK7-JNK signaling pathway to induce apoptosis in TK-10 cells and support the potential of cordyceps as a therapeutic agent for renal cancer.

Project description:Three major MAP kinase signaling cascades, ERK, p38 and JNK, play significant roles in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure in response to external stress and neural/hormonal stimuli. In order to study the specific function of each MAP kinase branch in adult heart, we have generated three transgenic mouse models with cardiac specific and temporally regulated expression of activated mutants of Ras, MKK3 and MKK7, which are selective upstream activators for ERK, p38 and JNK, respectively. Gene expression profiles in transgenic adult hearts were determined using cDNA microarrays at both early (4-7 days) and late (2-4 weeks) time points following transgene induction. From this study, we revealed common changes in gene expression among the three models, particularly involving extracellular matrix remodeling. However, distinct expression patterns characteristic for each pathway were also identified in cell signaling, growth and physiology. In addition, genes with dynamic expression differences between early vs. late stages illustrated primary vs. secondary changes upon MAP kinase activation in adult hearts. These results provide an overview to both short term and long term effects of MAP kinase activation in heart and support some common as well as unique roles for each MAP kinase cascade in the development of heart failure.

Project description:Ras and its downstream cascades transmit cellular signals, resulting in increased transcription of a large number of genes involved in cell growth and division. Research on long non-coding transcripts regulated by the Ras signaling cascade is still in its infancy. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are operationally defined as transcripts that are larger than 200 nt that do not appear to have protein-coding potential. Using a custom-designed lncRNA microarray, we identified a novel lncRNA (oncogenic Ras-induced lncRNA 1, Orilnc1) whose expression is significantly induced by activation of Ras. Further molecular studies demonstrated that the expression of Orilnc1 is regulated by the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK signaling cascade via the transcriptional factor AP1. Importantly, Orilnc1 is highly expressed in BRAF mutant cancers such as BRAF-driven melanoma. Inhibition of Orilnc1 expression by small RNA interference (siRNA) significantly blocked tumor cell proliferation and growth in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we observed that blocking Orilnc1 reduced expression levels of cell cycle related genes such as Cyclin E1 and induced G1/S arrest in tumor cells. Taken together, Orilnc1 may function as a novel non-protein mediator to respond the Ras/Raf activation and could serve as a potential therapeutic target for RAS or BRAF-driven cancers such as melanoma.

Project description:In inflamed tissue, normal signal transduction pathways are altered by extracellular signals. For example, the JNK pathway is activated in psoriatic skin, which makes it an attractive target for treatment. To define comprehensively the JNK-regulated genes in human epidermal keratinocytes, we compared the transcriptional profiles of control and JNK inhibitor-treated keratinocytes, using DNA microarrays. We identified the differentially expressed genes 1, 4, 24 and 48 hrs after the treatment with SP600125. Surprisingly, the inhibition of JNK in keratinocyte cultures in vitro induces virtually all aspects of epidermal differentiation in vivo: transcription of cornification markers, inhibition of motility, withdrawal from the cell cycle, stratification and even production of cornified envelopes. The inhibition of JNK also induces the production of enzymes of lipid and steroid metabolism, proteins of the diacylglycerol and inositol-phosphate pathways, mitochondrial proteins, histones and DNA repair enzymes, which have not been associated with differentiation previously. Simultaneously, basal cell markers, including integrins, hemidesmosome and ECM components, are suppressed. Promoter analysis of regulated genes finds that the binding sites for the forkhead family of transcription factors are over-represented in the SP600125-induced genes, and c-Fos sites in the suppressed genes. The JNK-induced proliferation appears to be secondary to inhibition of differentiation. The results indicate that the inhibition of JNK in epidermal keratinocytes is sufficient to initiate their differentiation program, and suggest that augmenting JNK activity could be used to delay cornification and enhance wound healing, while attenuating it could be a differentiation therapy-based approach for treating psoriasis.

Experiment Overall Design:MHC-floxed-HRas-v12/MKK3bE/MKK7D transgenic mice were bred with MHC-Mer-Cre-Mer (MCM) mice (from Dr. J. Molkentin, Cincinnati Children's Hospital) to generate double transgenic animals harboring both floxed transgenes and Mer-Cre-Mer transgene. At 12 weeks of age the double transgenic mice and non-transgenic littermate controls were treated via i.p. injection of tamoxifen at a dosage of 20mg/kgBW once a day for 3 consecutive days as reported. The hearts were harvested at an early (4-7 days post first tamoxifen injection) and a late (2-4 weeks) time point. Left ventricles were dissected and rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C prior to protein and RNA analysis. Transcription profiling of

Project description:RAS is frequently mutated in multiple myeloma (MM) leading to aberrant signaling. Next to their classical oncogenic effects, RAS proteins also mediate anti-tumor effects through the Ras-Association Domain Family (RASSF) proteins. Currently, no data about the role of RASSF proteins in MM disease is available. Here we report that RASSF4 is downregulated during MM progression, correlating with a bad prognosis. Epigenetic modulating agents significantly increased RASSF4 expression, indicating that the RASSF4 downregulation is due to epigenetic silencing. Forced RASSF4 expression induced a G2-phase arrest and caspase-3 mediated apoptosis in human MM cell lines, strongly reduced viability of primary CD138+ MM cells and significantly reduced in vivo tumor growth. Moreover, we demonstrated RASSF4-MST1 binding and the involvement of the downstream signaling pathways JNK/Jun, p38 and p53. RASSF4 overexpression sensitized MM cells to the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib, the specific MEK1/2 inhibitor trametinib and the ROS inducer Prima-1Met. Consequently, combining trametinib with histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) revealed very strong synergistic anti-MM activity. In conclusion, our study identified RASSF4 as a new potent tumor suppressor in MM that is epigenetically silenced during MM progression and provides the basis for novel therapeutic strategies enhancing RASSF4 expression (using HDACi) in combination with MEK/ERK inhibitors and bortezomib.
