EAG2 potassium channel with evolutionarily conserved function as a brain tumor target

ABSTRACT: Characterizing the impact of pharmacological and shRNA-mediated silencing of EAG2 in medulloblastoma. Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common pediatric CNS malignancy. Previously, we demonstrated that overexpression of the ion channel EAG2, identified in a subset of histological and molecular subtypes of this disease, functionally contributes to tumor progression (PMID: 22855790). Here, we demonstrate the evolutionarily conserved function of EAG2 potassium channel in promoting brain tumor growth and metastasis, delineate downstream pathways and uncover a co-option mechanism for different potassium channels to regulate mitotic cell volume and tumor progression. We show that EAG2 potassium channel is enriched at the trailing edge of migrating MB cells to regulate local cell volume dynamics, thereby facilitating cell motility. We identify the FDA- approved antipsychotic drug thioridazine as an EAG2 channel blocker that reduces xenografted MB growth and metastasis, and present a case report of repurposing thioridazine for treating a human patient. Our findings thus illustrate the potential of targeting ion channels in cancer treatment.

Wnt signaling regulates ion channel expression to promote smooth muscle and cartilage formation in developing mouse trachea

Project description:Ion channels play critical roles in the physiology and function of the nervous system and contractile tissue; however, their role in non-contractile tissue and embryonic development has yet to be understood. Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) and complete tracheal rings (CTR) are disorders affecting the muscle and cartilage of the trachea and bronchi, whose etiology remains poorly understood. We demonstrated that trachealis muscle organization and polarity are disrupted after epithelial ablation of Wls, a cargo receptor critical for the Wnt signaling pathway, in developing trachea. The phenotype resembles the anomalous trachealis muscle observed after deletion of ion channel encoding genes in developing mouse trachea. We sought to investigate whether and how the deletion ofWlsaffects ion channels during tracheal development. We hypothesize that Wnt signaling influences the expression of ion channels to promote trachealis muscle cell assembly and patterning. Deleting Wls in developing trachea causes differential regulation of genes mediating actin binding, cytoskeleton organization, and potassium ion channel activity. Wnt signaling regulated expression of Kcnj13, Kcnd3, Kcnj8, and Abcc9 as demonstrated by in vitro studies and in vivo analysis in Wnt5a and b-catenin deficient tracheas. Pharmacological inhibition of potassium ion channels and Wnt signaling impaired contractility of developing trachealis smooth muscle and formation of cartilaginous mesenchymal condensation. Thus, in mice, epithelial-induced Wnt/b-catenin signaling mediates trachealis muscle and cartilage development via modulation of ion channel expression, promoting trachealis muscle architecture, contractility, and cartilaginous extracellular matrix. In turn, ion channel activity may influence tracheal morphogenesis underlying TBM and CTR.

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors mediate activity-dependent down-regulation of potassium channel genes during the expression of homeostatic intrinsic plasticity

Project description:Using whole-cell patch clamp recording and unbiased gene expression profiling in rat dissociated hippocampal neurons cultured at high density, we demonstrate here that chronic activity blockade induced by the sodium channel blocker tetrodotoxin leads to a homeostatic increase in action potential firing and down-regulation of potassium channel genes. In addition, chronic activity blockade reduces total potassium current, as well as protein expression and current of voltage-gated Kv1 and Kv7 potassium channels, which are critical regulators of action potential firing. Importantly, inhibition of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptors alone mimics the effects of tetrodotoxin, including the elevation in firing frequency and reduction of potassium channel gene expression and current driven by activity blockade, whereas inhibition of L-type voltage-gated calcium channels has no effect.

RNAseq quantitative analysis of ion channel mRNA expression in microbead occlusion model

Project description:The purpose of this study was to utilize RNAseq to determine if there are changes in ion channel mRNA expression in the retina of C57BL/6 mice subjected to the Microbead Occlusion Model. Whole retina was isolated from 2 month old mice that received intracameral injections of either saline or 15-um-diameter microbeads. Total RNA was isolated from the retinas and subjected to RNA sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500. Fold change in mRNA expression was compared between saline- and microbead-injected samples. We then analyzed these data for changes in expression of potassium channels, such as tandem-pore domain K+ channels, inwardly rectifying K+ channels, and the Na+/K+-ATPase.

Ion Channel Expression Patterns in Glioblastoma Stem Cells with Functional and Therapeutic Implications for Malignancy

Project description:Ion channels and transporters have increasingly recognized roles in cancer progression through the regulation of cell proliferation, migration, and death. Glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) are a source of tumor formation and recurrence in glioblastoma multiforme, a highly aggressive brain cancer, suggesting that ion channel expression may be perturbed in this population. However, little is known about the expression and functional relevance of ion channels that may contribute to GSC malignancy. Using RNA sequencing, we assessed the enrichment of ion channels in GSC isolates and non-tumor neural cell types. We identified a unique set of GSC-enriched ion channels using differential expression analysis that stratify by molecular subtype and are associated with distinct gene mutation signatures. In support of potential clinical relevance, expression of selected GSC-enriched ion channels evaluated in human glioblastoma databases of The Cancer Genome Atlas and Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project correlated with patient survival times. Finally, genetic knockdown or pharmacological inhibition of individual or classes of GSC-enriched ion channels constrained growth of GSCs compared to normal neural stem cells. This first-in-kind global examination characterizes ion channels enriched in GSCs and explores their potential clinical relevance to glioblastoma molecular subtypes, gene mutations, survival outcomes, regional tumor expression, and experimental responses to loss-of-function. Together, the data support the potential biological and therapeutic impact of ion channels on GSC malignancy and provide strong rationale for further examination of their mechanistic and therapeutic importance.

Deep sequencing of somatosensory neurons reveals molecular determinants of intrinsic physiological properties

Project description:To explore the molecular basis of the distinct intrinsic membrane properties and other dstinguishing features of functionally defined DRG neuron subtypes, we bulk-sequenced RNA at high depth of genetically-labeled DRG neurons to generate transcriptome profiles of eight major DRG neuron subtypes. The trancriptome profiles revealed differentially expressed and functionally relevant genes, including voltage-gated ion channels. Guided by the transcriptome pofiles, electrophysiological analyses using pharmacological and genetic manipulations as well as computational modeling of DRG neuron subtypes were undertaken to assess the functions of select voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv1, Kv2, Kv3, and Kv4) in shaping action potential (AP) waveforms and firing patterns of the DRG neuron subtypes. Our findings show that the transcriptome profiles have predictive value for defining ion channel contributions to sensory neuron subtype-specific intrinsic physiological properties.

Schölzel2021 - Modelica implementation of the one-dimensional model of the rabbit atrioventricular node in Inada2009 (InaMo)

Project description:This project contains a reusable, reproducible, understandable, and extensible reimplementation of the one-dimensional model of the rabbit atrioventricular node by Inada et al. (Inada2009) in the language Modelica. The Inada model was the first detailed electrophysiological model of the atrioventricular node. It consists of 10 ion channels (background channel I_b, L-type calcium channel I_Ca,L, rapid delayed rectifier channel I_K,r, inward rectifier channel I_K,1, sodium channel I_Na, transient outward channel I_to, hyperpolarization-activated channel I_f, sustained outward channel I_st), two ion pumps (sodium calcium exchanger I_NaCa, sodium potassium pump I_p/I_NaK), and four compartments containing variable Ca2+ concentrations (cytoplasm [Ca 2+ ]_i, junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum [Ca2+]_jsr, network sarcoplasmic reticulum [Ca2+]_nsr, “fuzzy” subspace [Ca ]_sub - which is the “functionally restricted intracellular space accessible to the Na + /Ca 2+ exchanger as well as to the L-type Ca 2+ channel and the Ca 2+ -gated Ca 2+ channel in the SR”). A current version of this model can be found at https://github.com/CSchoel/inamo .

Whole larvae and nociceptive neuron RNA-Seq samples

Project description:The goal of this study was to identify ion channels, specifically transient receptor potential cation channel A (trpA1) channels, that were highly expressed and enriched in nociceptive sensory neurons of Drosophila larvae. In class IV da sensory neurons, we find that TrpA1 is the most highly expressed trpA1 channel of the 14 trpA1 channels in Drosophila, and that its expression is highly enriched when compared to the whole animal transcriptome.

Mechanism of pharmacochaperoning in ATP-sensitive potassium channels revealed by cryo-EM

Project description:ATP-sensitive potassium (K-ATP) channels composed of a pore-forming Kir6.2 potassium channel and a regulatory ABC transporter sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) regulate insulin secretion in pancreatic beta-cells to maintain glucose homeostasis. Mutations that impair channel folding or assembly prevent cell surface expression and cause congenital hyperinsulinism. Structurally diverse K-ATP inhibitors have been shown to act as pharmacochaperones to correct mutant channel expression, but the mechanism is unknown. Here, we compare cryoEM structures of K-ATP channels bound to pharmacochaperones glibenclamide, repaglinide, and carbamazepine. CyanurBiotinDimercaptoPropionylSuccinimide (CBDPS) cross-linking mass spectrometry was used to partially confirm cryoEM structures.

Expression data from unactivated vs. activated PBMCs (ion array)

Project description:Long-lasting activation of T cells requires up-regulation of many genes, for example of transcription factors, cytoskeletal proteins and cell surface proteins encluding ion channels. An increase of ion channel density at the cell surface reflects the needs to manage increased Ca2+ influx into the activated T cell. Using oligonucleotide-based arrays we have surveyed changes in ion channel mRNA expression that occur upon T cell activation.
