Effects of Belinostat and Dexamethasone treatment of A549 gene expression

ABSTRACT: Glucocorticoid resistance (GCR), i.e. unresponsiveness to the beneficial anti-inflammatory activities of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), poses a serious problem in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. One possible solution to try and overcome GCR, is to identify molecules that prevent or revert GCR by hyper-stimulating the biological activity of the GR. To this purpose, we screened for compounds that potentiate the dexamethasone (Dex)-induced transcriptional activity of GR. To monitor GR transcriptional activity, the screen was performed using the lung epithelial cell line A549 in which a glucocorticoid responsive element (GRE) coupled to a luciferase reporter gene construct was stably integrated. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) such as Vorinostat and Belinostat are two broad-spectrum HDACi that strongly increased the Dex-induced luciferase expression in our screening system. In sharp contrast herewith, results from a genome-wide transcriptome analysis of Dex-induced transcripts using RNAseq, revealed that Belinostat impairs the ability of GR to transactivate target genes. The stimulatory effect of Belinostat in the luciferase screen further depends on the nature of the reporter construct. In conclusion, a profound discrepancy was observed between HDACi effects on two different synthetic promoter-luciferase reporter systems. The favorable effect of HDACi on gene expression should be evaluated with care, when considering them as potential therapeutic agents.

TNF induces Glucocorticoid Resistance by reshaping the GR Nuclear Cofactor Profile: Investigation of TNF mediated effects on the GR-DNA binding

Project description:Glucocorticoid resistance (GCR) is defined as an unresponsiveness to the anti-inflammatory properties of glucocorticoids (GCs) and their receptor, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). It is a serious problem in the management of inflammatory diseases and occurs frequently. The strong pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF induces an acute form of GCR, not only in mice, but also in several cell lines, e.g. in the hepatoma cell line BWTG3, as evidenced by impaired Dexamethasone (Dex)-induced GR-dependent gene expression. We report that TNF has a significant and broad impact on the transcriptional performance of GR, but no impact on nuclear translocation, dimerization or DNA binding capacity of GR. Proteome-wide proximity-mapping (BioID), however, revealed that the GR interactome is strongly modulated by TNF. One GR cofactor that interacts significantly less with the receptor under GCR conditions is p300. NFκB activation and p300 knockdown both reduce transcriptional output of GR, whereas p300 overexpression and NFκB inhibition revert TNF-induced GCR, which is in support of a cofactor reshuffle model. This hypothesis is supported by FRET studies. This mechanism of GCR opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions in GCR diseases

Crosstalk between the glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptor boosts glucocorticoid-induced killing of multiple myeloma cells

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a crucial drug target in multiple myeloma as its activation with glucocorticoids effectively triggers myeloma cell death. However, as high-dose glucocorticoids are also associated with deleterious side effects, novel approaches are urgently needed to improve GR’s action in myeloma. Here we reveal a functional crosstalk between GR and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) that culminates in improved myeloma cell killing. We show that the GR agonist Dexamethasone (Dex) downregulates MR levels in a GR-dependent way in myeloma cells. Co-treatment of Dex with the MR antagonist Spironolactone (Spi) enhances Dex-induced cell killing in primary, newly diagnosed GC-sensitive myeloma cells, while in a relapsed GC-resistant setting, Spi alone induces distinct myeloma cell killing. On a mechanistic level, we find that a GR-MR crosstalk is arising from an endogenous interaction between GR and MR in myeloma cells. Quantitative dimerization assays show that Spi reduces Dex-induced GR-MR heterodimerization and completely abolishes Dex-induced MR MR homodimerization but leaves GR-GR homodimerization intact. Unbiased transcriptomics further reveals that c-myc and many of its target genes are downregulated most by Dex and Spi combined, while proteomics analyses identify that several metabolic hallmarks are modulated most by this combination treatment. Finally, we identified a subset of Dex+Spi downregulated genes and proteins that may predict prognosis in the CoMMpass patient cohort. Our study demonstrates that GR-MR crosstalk is therapeutically relevant in myeloma as it provides novel strategies towards glucocorticoid-based dose-reduction.

IRF2BP2 Modulates the Crosstalk between Glucocorticoid and TNF Signaling

Project description:Here we have analyzed the role of interferon regulatory factor-2 binding protein-2 (IRF2BP2) in glucocorticoid and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) signaling. We used ChIP-seq to analyze chromatin binding of IRF2BP2 in glucocorticoid (dexamethasone, dex) and vehicle treated HEK293 cells expressing GR (HEK293-GR). Furthermore, we used RNA-seq to analyze how silencing of IRF2BP2 modulates transcriptional responses to dex treatment in HEK293-GR cells, and dex, TNF and co-treatment (dex and TNF, DT) in A549 cells.

Novel assays monitoring direct GR protein activity exhibit high predictive power for ligand activity on endogenous GR gene targets

Project description:Exogenous glucocorticoids are widely used in the clinic for the treatment of inflammatory disorders and auto-immune diseases. Unfortunately, their use is hampered by many side effects and therapy resistance. Efforts to find more selective glucocorticoid receptor (GR) agonists and modulators (called SEGRAMs), able to separate anti-inflammatory effects via gene suppression from metabolic effects via gene activation, have been unsuccessful so far. In this study, we characterized a set of functionally diverse GR ligands in A549 cells, first using a panel of luciferase-based reporter gene assays evaluating GR-driven gene activation and gene suppression. We expanded this minimal assay set with novel luciferase-based read-outs monitoring GR protein levels, GR dimerization and GR Serine 211 (Ser211) phosphorylation status and compared their outcomes with compound effects on the mRNA levels of known GR target genes in A549 cells and primary hepatocytes. We found that luciferase reporters evaluating GR-driven gene activation and gene repression were not always reliable predictors for effects on endogenous target genes. Remarkably, our novel assay monitoring GR Ser211 phosphorylation levels proved to be the most reliable predictor for compound effects on almost all tested endogenous GR targets, both driven by gene activation and repression. The integration of this novel assay in existing screening platforms may therefore increase chances to find novel GR ligands with an improved therapeutic benefit.

Exploiting crosstalk between glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors enhances glucocorticoid-induced killing of multiple myeloma cells

Project description:Long-term glucocorticoid treatment in multiple myeloma is hampered by deleterious side effects. Glucocorticoids bind to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which is a crucial drug target because its activation triggers myeloma cell death. The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is a closely related nuclear receptor but its impact on glucocorticoid responsiveness in myeloma is unknown. Here we reveal a functional crosstalk between GR and MR that culminates in improved myeloma cell killing. We show that the GR agonist Dexamethasone (Dex) downregulates MR levels in a GR-dependent way in myeloma cells. Co-treatment of Dex with the MR antagonist Spironolactone enhances Dex-induced cell killing in (primary) myeloma cells. The crosstalk is further evidenced by an endogenous interaction between GR and MR in myeloma cells that is ligand-inducible and by a distinctive gene expression profile. Our study demonstrates that GR-MR crosstalk is therapeutically relevant in myeloma and presents a glucocorticoid-based dose-reduction strategy that could diminish glucocorticoid-related side effects in patients.

Loss of Glucocorticoid Receptor Expression Mediates in Vivo Dexamethasone Resistance in T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Project description:Despite decades of clinical use, mechanisms of glucocorticoid resistance are poorly understood. We treated primary murine T lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALLs) with the glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) alone and in combination with the pan-PI3 kinase inhibitor GDC-0941 and observed a robust response to DEX that was modestly enhanced by GDC-0941. Continuous in vivo treatment invariably resulted in outgrowth of drug-resistant clones, ~30% of which showed markedly reduced glucocorticoid receptor (GR) protein expression. A similar proportion of relapsed human T-ALLs also exhibited low GR protein levels. De novo or pre-existing mutations in the gene encoding GR (Nr3c1) occurred in relapsed clones derived from multiple independent parental leukemias. CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing confirmed that loss of GR expression confers DEX resistance. Exposing drug-sensitive T-ALLs to DEX in vivo altered transcript levels of multiple genes, and this response was attenuated in relapsed T-ALLs. These data implicate reduced GR protein expression as a frequent cause of glucocorticoid resistance in T-ALL.

Expression data from VND7 induction line

Project description:Plants typically contain two different types of cell walls: a primary wall that is being deposited around all growing cells, and a secondary wall that is produced in cells with specialized functions once they have ceased to grow. In Arabidopsis, VND7 is a transcription factor that is sufficient to activate secondary cell wall synthesis. To artificially turn on the secondary cell wall synthesis, VND7 was fused to the activation domain of the herpes virus VP16 protein and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) domain. Thus, the transgenic plants harbouring the constructs can then be treated with dexamethasone (DEX), a glucocorticoid derivative, to induce the secondary cell wall formation. We used microarrays to investigate the global program of gene expression during the secondary cell wall development and identified up- and down-regulated genes associated with this process. Cultures were harvested at indicated time points after induction (1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 30, 48 h) and at time point zero (0). Uninduced cultures (DMSO instead of DEX) served as controls for each time point, and thus, 48 microarray analyses for 8 time points (3 biological reps) for +/- induced VND7-VP16-GR cultures, and 3 arrays for time 0h. To ensure that the DEX did not influence the measurements, an empty vector construct (EV), i.e., without the VND7 gene, VP16-GR, was used at three time points, i.e., VP16-GR +/- DEX at 9h, 12h, and 24h after DEX induction.

IP of endogenous SUMO2/3 in HEK293 cells

Project description:Aim of the experiments was to identify endogenously SUMO2/3 modified proteins in HEK293 cells. Cells were treated with dexamethasone (dex) or vehicle (etoh) and with heatshock (+43C, HS) or normal growth temperature (+37C, non-HS). Cells were induced with tetracycline to express BirA*-GR (glucocorticoid receptor) to express GR at sufficient levels to assess effect of GR activation on protein SUMOylation.

Transcript profiling of plants ectopically expressing DOF5.4 / OBF BINDING PROTEIN 4 (OBP4).

Project description:Transcription profiling of seven-day-old seedlings of p35S:OBP4-GR treated with DEX or EtOH for 12 and 24 h. Purpose: find transcriptionally regulated genes downstream of the dof transcription factors OBP4 in the root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana Method: compare transcript levels after ectopic induction of OBP4 for 12 h and 24 h. Ectopic expressing was induced by introducing the coding sequence of OBP4 fused to the glucocorticoid receptor under the control of the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus p35S promoter (p35S:OBP4-GR) in wild type Arabidopsis Col-0 plants. Seven day old plants expressing the construct were treated with Dexamethason (DEX) or ethanol (EtOH) as a mock for 12 and 24 h. After root tips of 300 seedlings per rep were collected.
