Project description:Representative tandem MS files generated from mouse type I fatty acid synthase biochemical assay with NADPH titration.
Protocol description: Mouse FAS was enriched using dual-affinity chromatography (Ni-NTA, nitrilotriacetic acid, Strep-Tactin XT Sepharose from Cytiva) and subjected to in vitro enzymatic assays. In this assay, we titrated different amounts of NADPH (0-350 uM) in the reaction mixture containing malonyl-CoA (175 uM), acetyl-CoA (25 uM), and enriched mFAS (6.2 mg/mL) in PBS buffer (pH 7.4) After 50 minutes of incubation, the reactions were quenched with acetonitrile, and the mixtures were centrifuged and subjected to HPLC-HR-QTOF-MS analysis (positive mode). We observed that with no NADPH we got the highest production of TAL (triacetic acid lactone), with high NADPH (350 uM) we got the highest production of palmitate, and that middle ranges of NADPH would variably generate the alpha-pyrone family.

Project description:NADPH has been long well-recognized as a key cofactor for antioxidant defense and reductive biosynthesis. Here we report a metabolism-independent function of NADPH in modulating epigenetic status and transcription. We found that reduction of cellular NADPH levels by silencing malic enzyme (ME) or G6PD impairs global histone acetylation and transcription in both adipocytes and tumor cells. These effects can be reversed by supplementation of exogenous NADPH or inhibition of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3). Mechanistically, NADPH or inhibition of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3). Mechanistically,NADPH directly interacts with HDAC3 and interrupts the association between HDAC3 and its co-activator Ncor2 (SMRT) or Ncor1, thereby impairs HDAC3 activation. Interestingly, it appears that NADPH and Ins(1,4,5,6)P4 bind to the same domains on HDAC3, and NADPH has relatively higher affinity towards HDAC3. Thus, while Ins(1,4,5,6)P4 acts as an ‘intermolecular glue’, NADPH may function as a HDAC3-Ncor assembly inhibitor. Collectively, our findings uncovered a previous unidentified and metabolism-independent role of NADPH in controlling epigenetic change and gene expression by acting as an endogenous inhibitor of HDAC3.

Project description:Staphylococcus epidermidis, the common inhabitant of human skin and mucosal surfaces has emerged as an important pathogen in patients receiving surgical implants and medical devices. Entering the body via surgical sites and colonizing the medical devices through formation of multi-layered biofilms it leads to refractory and persistent device-related infections (DRIs). Staphylococcal proportions within biofilms are more tolerant to antibiotics and immune responses, and thus are hard-to-treat. The consequent morbidity and mortality, and economic losses in health care systems has strongly necessitated the need for development of new anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm based therapeutics. In this study, we describe the biological activity of a marine sponge-derived Streptomyces sp. SBT348 extract in restraining staphylococcal growth and biofilm formation on polystyrene, glass, medically relevant titan metal and silicone surfaces. A bio-assay guided fractionation was performed to isolate the active compound (C3) from the crude SBT348 extract. Our results demonstrated that C3 effectively inhibits the growth (MIC: 31.25 µg/ml) and biofilm formation (sub-MIC range: 1.95-<31.25 µg/ml) of S. epidermidis RP62A in vitro. Chemical characterization of C3 by heat and enzyme treatments, and High-Resolution Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) revealed its heat-stable and non-proteinaceous nature, and high molecular weight (1258. 3257 Da). Cytotoxicity profiling of C3 in vitro on mouse fibroblast (NIH/3T3) and macrophage (J774.1) cell lines, and in vivo on the greater wax moth larvae Galleria melonella revealed its non-toxic nature at the effective dose. Transcriptome analysis of C3 treated-S. epidermidis RP62A has further unmasked the negative effect of C3 on central metabolism (carbon, amino acid and protein, lipids, nucleotide and energy) suggesting its mode of action. Taken together, these findings suggest that C3 could be possibly used as antibacterial and antibiofilm coatings on medically-relevant surfaces and prevent the relapsing staphylococcal DRIs.

Project description:We developed a heat-inducible hepatic cell line (hi-Hep) in which BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1) was introduced under the control of a TRE/PCMVmin promoter, in addition to the existing eight liver-enriched transcription factor (LETF) genes (HNF-1α, HNF-1β, HNF-3β, HNF-4α, HNF-6, C/EBP-α, C/EBP-β and C/EBP-γ). The synthetic heat-inducible promoter system utilizes a tetracycline-responsive transactivator (tTA) with a transcriptional positive-feedback loop and EGFP reporter, enabling stringent induction of transgenes upon transient heat treatment (43 °C, 30 min). Following induction, hi-Hep cells exhibit enhanced hepatic functions including ammonia detoxification, albumin secretion, and cytochrome P450 activity compared to parental HepG2 and HepG2/8F_HS cells. Transcriptome profiling was performed using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human GE 8×60K v3 arrays to compare hi-Hep cells with or without heat treatment, in monolayer and spheroid culture formats, under both serum-containing and optimized serum-free conditions, alongside parental HepG2/8F_HS controls.

Project description:<h4>Introduction</h4>Untargeted metabolomics intends to objectively analyze a wide variety of compounds. Their diverse physicochemical properties make it difficult to choose an appropriate reconstitution solvent after sample evaporation without influencing the chromatography or hamper column sorbent integrity.<h4>Objectives</h4>The study aimed to identify the most appropriate reconstitution solvent for blood plasma samples in terms of feature recovery, four endogenous compounds, and one selected internal standard.<h4>Methods</h4>We investigated several reconstitution solvent mixtures containing acetonitrile and methanol to resolve human plasma extract and evaluated them concerning the peak areas of tryptophan-d<sub>5</sub>, glucose, creatinine, palmitic acid, and the phophatidylcholine PC(P-16:0/P-16:0), as well as the total feature count RESULTS: Results indicated that acetonitrile containing 30% methanol was best suited to match all tested criteria at least for human blood plasma samples.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Despite identifying the mixture of acetonitrile and methanol being suitable as solvent for human blood plasma extracts, we recommend to systematically test for an appropriate reconstitution solvent for each analyzed biomatrix.

Project description:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is a conserved immune response, primarily mediated in Arabidopsis by the respiratory burst oxidase homolog D (RBOHD), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase associated with the plasma membrane. A rapid increase in NADPH is necessary to fuel RBOHD proteins and hence maintain ROS production. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the NADPH generation for fueling RBOHD remains unclear. In this study, we isolated a new mutant allele of flagellin-insensitive 4 (FIN4), encoding the first enzyme in de novo NAD biosynthesis. fin4 mutants show reduced NADPH levels and impaired ROS production. However, FIN4 and other genes involved in the NAD- and NADPH-generating pathways are not highly upregulated upon elicitor treatment. Therefore, we hypothesized that a cytosolic NADP-linked dehydrogenase might be post-transcriptionally activated to keep the NADPH supply close to RBOHD. RPM1-INDUCED PROTEIN KINASE (RIPK), a receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase, regulates broad-spectrum ROS signaling in plant immunity. We then isolated the proteins associated with RIPK and identified NADP-malic enzyme 2 (NADP-ME2), an NADPH-generating enzyme. Compared with wild-type plants, nadp-me2 mutants display decreased NADP-ME activity, lower NADPH levels, as well as reduced ROS production in response to immune elicitors. Furthermore, we found that RIPK can directly phosphorylate NADP-ME2 and enhance its activity in vitro. The phosphorylation of NADP-ME2 S371 residue contributes to ROS production upon immune elicitor treatment and the susceptibility to the necrotrophic bacterium, Pectobacterium carotovorum. Overall, our study suggests that RIPK activates NADP-ME2 to rapidly increase cytosolic NADPH, hence fueling RBOHD to sustain ROS production in plant immunity.

Project description:We applied quantitative cross-linking/mass spectrometry (QCLMS) to interrogate the structure of iC3 (or C3(H2O)), the activated hydrolytic product of the abundant human complement protein C3. The slow but spontaneous and ubiquitous formation of iC3 from C3 initiates antibody-independent activation of the complement system that is a key first line of antimicrobial defense. QCLMS revealed structural differences and similarities between iC3 and C3, as well as between iC3 and C3b that is a pivotal proteolytic cleavage product of C3 and is functionally similar to iC3. Considered in combination with the crystal structures of C3 and C3b, our data support a model wherein the thioester-containing domain of C3 swings to the other end of the molecule creating, in iC3, a stable C3b-like platform for binding the zymogen, factor B, or the regulator, factor H. The integration of available crystallographic and QCLMS data allowed the determination of a 3D model for iC3. The unique arrangement of domains in iC3, which retains the anaphylatoxin (ANA) domain (while ANA is excised when C3 is enzymatically activated to C3b), is consistent with observed differences in activation and regulation between iC3 and C3b.

Project description:Background: The preferred site of metastasis in ovarian cancer (OC) is the fat-rich omentum. The interaction between cancer cells and adipocytes induces transcriptomic changes driving an invasive and pro-metastatic phenotype. Here we studied the effects of the OC cell-adipocyte crosstalk by using direct co-culture with immortalized human visceral pre-adipocytes and OC cells. Methods: OVCAR5 or OVCAR8 OC cells expressing either GFP or RFP were co-cultured with matured immortalized visceral pre-adipocyte (VNPAD). After direct co-culture, OC cells were FACS-sorted and cell proliferation, invasiveness, resistance to cisplatin were assessed. RNA-sequencing determined transcriptomic changes induced by co-culture. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and ELISA measured C3 expression in metastatic tumors and in malignant ascites. Results: Direct co-culture with VNPAD led to increased proliferation, invasiveness and resistance to cisplatin of OC cells compared to monoculture. RNA-sequencing revealed 205 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) common to both VNPAD co-cultured OVCAR5 and OVCAR8 cells and enriched pathways such as PI3K/AKT and complement activation. Co-culture induced lipid transfer into OC cells promoted upregulation of complement C3 and C5 units, as measured at mRNA and protein levels. C3 or C5 inhibition reverted the invasive phenotype of OC cells and C3 knockdown reduced tumor progression in a xenograft model. Increased C3 expression was detected in metastatic vs. primary ovarian tumors (p<0.0001) and increased C3 secretion was observed in ascites from women with BMI > 25 (p = 0.01). C3 upregulation in OC cells was driven through activation of stress response pathway regulated by ATF4. Conclusions: Co-culture of adipocytes and cancer cells drives an invasive and chemo-resistant phenotype. These changes are induced by transfer of lipids from adipocytes to cancer cells causing activation of the complement proteins C3, C5, and of the integrated stress response pathway.
