Immunomodulatory mechanism of Cordyceps militaris polypeptide through regulating gene in mice

ABSTRACT: Cordyceps militaris and Cordyceps sinensis belong to belong to the same genus, but the different species, with immunity improvement, antibacterial, and antihypertensive effect, and the studies on the functions of Cordyceps militaris mainly focus on those of its polysaccharides and polypeptides. The latest studies have found that some of the polypeptides with immunomodulatory effect can widely regulate immune functions at multiple levels, improve immunity, and enhance immune functions to ensure the healthy body, showing an important significance. Cordyceps militaris polypeptide prepared with the enzymolysis method was taken as the research object in this study. The differentially expressed genes and the related cell signal transduction pathway were screened by mRNA expression microarray. STEM 1.3.6 software was used for the clustering of the gene functions, and David and KEGG database were applied for the analysis of the related functions. 1748 differentially expressed genes were selected finally and three of them were validated by qPCR. The results showed that gene Hist1h2bp, Ctsg, and Elane were involved in the regulation of Cordyceps militaris on the immune activity of mice. Gene Hist1h2bp, Ctsg and Elan may be the potential targets of Cordyceps militaris polypeptide, which may provide an important theory basis for the further research and development of Cordyceps militaris polypeptide.

Transcriptomic analysis by RNA-seq unveils distinct gene expression profile of U397 cells depleted of NSPs

Project description:Characterization of transcriptomic changes associated with genetic ablation of three neutrophil serine proteases (CTSG, ELANE, PRTN3). U937 cells depleted of CTSG, ELANE, and PRTN3 simultaneously (ΔNSPs) were generated using the CRISPR-Cas9 system and sgRNAs. RNA-Seq analysis revealed transcriptomic changes between control cells and ΔNSPs, with 170 and 220 genes up- or down-regulated respectively.

Cordyceps promotes MKK7-JNK signaling pathway by reducing NF-κB/GADD45b signaling activation to induce apoptosis in TK-10 renal cell carcinoma

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.

Genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation in the sexual stage of the insect pathogenic fungus Cordyceps militaris

Project description:Genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation for asexual and sexual stages of Cordyceps militaris DNA methylation is a basic epigenetic mechanism found in eukaryotes, but its patterns and roles vary significantly among diverse taxa. In fungi, DNA methylation has various effects on diverse biological processes; however, its function underlying the sexual development of fungi remains unclear. Cordyceps militaris, readily performing sexual reproduction, provides a remarkably rich model for understanding epigenetic processes in sexual development. The methylome was surveyed to assess DNA methylation patterns of the nascent fruiting body in C. militaris at single-base resolution by genomic bisulfite sequencing (BS-Seq). The results showed that around 0.4 % of cytosines are methylated, and that there is no difference compared with the DNA methylation level (0.39 %) during asexual development. However, 225 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were identified between the stages. Moreover, RNA-Seq analysis indicated that the DMRs have no direct relation with the genes for fungal sexual development in C. militaris. DNA methylation regions from the BS-Seq show a striking correspondence to regions predicted to be repetitive and repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) mutated, suggesting that DNA methylation functions as a genome defense mechanism in sexual development. These results provide a comprehensive characterization of DNA methylation in the sexual development of C. militaris, which will contribute to future investigations of epigenetics in fungi. Bisulphite converted genomic DNA from the mycelium and fruitingbody of Cordyceps militaris

Andrographolide sulfonate attenuates acute lung injury by reducing expression of myeloperoxidase and neutrophil-derived proteases in mice

Project description:Andrographolide sulfonate (Andro-S), a sulfonation derivative of andrographolide, is known to be effective in treating inflammation-related diseases, while the underlying mechanisms and global protein alterations in response to Andro-S remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate the pharmacological effects and potential targets of Andro-S in a murine model of acute lung injury (ALI). ALI was induced by aerosolized lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure before treatment with Andro-S. Inflammatory state of each treatment group was determined by histological analysis and quantification of inflammatory markers. Differentially expressed proteins in lung tissues were identified by an iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic approach and further confirmed by immunohistochemistry analysis. Administration of Andro-S alleviated LPS-induced histological changes in the lung and reduced the expression of inflammatory markers in serum, bronchoalveolar fluid and lung tissues. Proteomic analysis identified 34 differentially expressed proteins from a total of 2,234 quantified proteins in the lung. According to bioinformatics analysis, neutrophil elastase (ELANE), Cathepsin G (CTSG) and myeloperoxidase (MPO), three neutrophil-derived proteases related to immune system process and defense responses to fungi were chosen as potential targets of Andro-S. Further immunohistochemistry analysis confirmed the inhibitory effects of Andro-S on LPS-induced ELANE, CTSG and MPO up-regulation. These results indicate that Andro-S suppressed the severity of LPS-induced ALI, possibly by attenuating the expression of and neutrophil-derived proteases.
